Chapter 544 – Fighting Kantu’er (3k)
“Then please, contestants number three, both of you come onto the stage and show your… true combat prowess.”
Snow Empress propped her head with one hand, paused, her gaze fell upon Su Jiu, she narrowed and narrowed her eyes, then waved her hand and said indifferently.
Snow Empress’s voice was undoubtedly like a raging fire igniting dry wood, reigniting the already lively scene. In an instant, the erupted volume seemed capable of piercing eardrums.
“Do you dare to come to the sky and clash with me? I want to see what level you are at without air superiority!”
As Snow Empress’s voice just fell, Kantu’er slammed the armrest of the wooden chair. As the armrest turned into sawdust, his figure was the first to soar into the sky, releasing black aura with a dense coldness and gloom.
Obviously, this external aura was different from ordinary Frost Ghosts, it was colder, and the opponent was likely a mutated Frost Ghost.
“Heh heh… You speak so grandly, but in plain terms, you just want to occupy air superiority in advance, right?”
Hearing the opponent’s voice, Su Jiu smiled faintly, patted Anna’s head, then suddenly drew the loquat branch from her chest, lightly rubbing the withered leaves on the loquat branch.
“Bang!”
Then, her soles exerted a little force, turning into a blood-golden stream of light again, the sound of breaking the air echoing all around, directly soaring above the arena, and colliding with the former’s black light.
The collision of the two produced a metallic sound – “Clang!!” deafening, ripples spreading in the air, and visibly Su Jiu retreated dozens of steps in the void, the air pressure causing her clothes to rustle.
Kantu’er only retreated a step, breathed a sigh of relief, a proud smile appeared on his face, he held the black blade and pointed at Su Jiu, sneering:
“Without air superiority, you are nothing, and I thought you had some hidden cultivation, hehe…”
After saying that, he flicked the black blade agilely in his palm, then clenched his fist, and it obediently stopped in his hand, turning into a black shadow and charging again, instantly appearing behind Su Jiu.
“Ding!”
Although the former’s speed was fast, before the attack could land on Su Jiu’s body, the loquat branch, wrapped in blood-golden external aura, descended from above Su Jiu’s shoulder as if foreknowing, blocking the attack of the black blade.
However, Su Jiu was still shaken back tens of meters, just a little distance from touching the arena’s energy shield, but she stabilized her body with the external aura.
In a pure strength contest, Su Jiu was still inferior to this top Demigod, and even her basic attributes were inferior to the opponent, but this was just Su Jiu testing her normal state’s level.
Therefore, Kantu’er had an illusion – he seemed to be able to defeat Su Jiu.
Above the clouds, a phantom was located behind Elder of the Ninth Clan, appearing similar to Snow Empress sitting in the seat, seeming to be the latter’s avatar, she softly said:
“Although Uncle Naz predicted she might be the National Master, her strength is still a bit weak. If she reached High-Rank Battle King, she might not be much weaker than the opponent.”
Elder of the Ninth Clan was still leaning, quietly watching below, glancing at Snow Empress behind her, and said with a faint smile: “You underestimate her too much, her strength is more than this, at least I haven’t seen her use those people’s skills…”
“So…”
Upon hearing this, Snow Empress’s phantom inexplicably curved her lips, and stepped forward two more steps on the clouds, looking down at Su Jiu and the two, and said with a light smile, “Do you also think she is suitable to be Little Anna’s teacher?”
Elder of the Ninth Clan narrowed her eyes, then slowly stood up, turned around, and looked up at the phantom, saying indifferently, “Grand Prince, are you testing my attitude?”
“Heh heh, I dare not…” Snow Empress repeatedly said with an obsequious smile and waved her hand, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and she continued, “It’s just Elder of the Ninth Clan, shouldn’t you believe in the general trend? Naz’s prophecy, guess what else he predicted besides the National Master…”
“What?” Elder of the Ninth Clan narrowed her eyes and asked.
“She has been to Night’s domain, that long-lost place.” The phantom smiled, looking at Su Jiu, whose face was starting to form a mask, and said softly.
Upon hearing this, Elder of the Ninth Clan fell into silence, as if thinking of something, a serious look flashed in her blue eyes, and then she slowly sighed:
“Anyone who emerges from the long night, this old woman naturally approves. If she successfully obtains the position of National Master, I don’t mind voting for you.”
…
“You dodged one blow, can you dodge another?”
Despite being unsuccessful in one blow, Kantu’er’s expression did not change at all. He sneered, and the black external aura with chilling intent coiled around the ice blade like a poisonous snake, then directly transformed into three black ice arrows and shot towards Su Jiu.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the three ice arrows shot out, Su Jiu’s arm shook, and with a slash, the sword qi, accompanied by a low sonic boom, heavily struck them, shattering them on the spot.
Shattering the ice arrows, Su Jiu’s loquat branch “swished” and brought with it a low air explosion sound, fiercely stabbing towards Kantu’er. The strong wind directly forced Kantu’er back.
“You don’t seem very good? Are you not using your rules and domain?”
Gently touching the leaves of the loquat branch, Su Jiu’s face under the mask carried a smile, but her calm voice made Kantu’er’s eyes turn fierce.
“Heh heh, I really don’t know how you will face me who can activate both domain and development simultaneously.”
Kantu’er flicked his left hand, and in the next moment, dark black and sharp external aura erupted from his body like an octopus spraying ink, like a giant ink pillar soaring into the sky, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen.
Even a black rule halo emerged around him.
His aura had almost reached the peak of the Demigod Level, not much inferior to the weakened version of Plague that Su Jiu had encountered before.
At this moment, Kantu’er, solely based on this momentum, could be considered a quasi-War God Level expert. Although there was still a huge gap compared to the true War God Level, no matter what, he was not someone that early Demigod Level or High-Rank Battle King could provoke.
Sensing Kantu’er’s powerful aura, gasps of exclamation came from the plaza and the VIP seats, these voices filled with shock. The opponent, just by concurrently using domain and rules, had approached the War God Level.
It should be known that although the Demigod Level had “God” in its name, in reality, there was a huge gap between it and the true War God Level.
At the Stanford University seats, everyone was a bit numb, especially Mo Lin. He stared blankly at the sky, disbelieving that Su Jiu, who was fighting against a quasi-War God, was his peer. It was already terrifying to know that she was an elder of the Night Watchers before…
Now this was completely the top prodigy in the world, right? Not yet graduated from university, and directly able to contend with a Demigod Level expert, even forcing the opponent to use their ultimate move.
Looking at Su Jiu, the Vice Principal had a hint of jealousy in his eyes. If such a student came to his school, perhaps in the future, there might be one more top War God. He then sighed: “If she is defeated by the opponent, should we intervene?”
Knowing that she was such a genius, the Principal also had the thought of making friends and leaving a favor.
“Just watch, she’s not that weak.”
Looking at the battle in mid-air, the bald youth crossed his arms and watched indifferently. As long as it was a stronger Battle King who advanced to the Demigod Level, they would have a similar oppressive aura. He was somewhat curious how his colleague would handle this.
“Quasi-War God…”
Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Kantu’er, whose powerful external aura was wrapped around him like a cold wind, and murmured. The opponent was inherently ice-elemental, and being in a favorable position, it was normal for him to exert such strength.
“Do you regret making me use my rules?”
Kantu’er’s dark face was covered with bulging purple veins, which contracted and bulged, giving a creepy feeling. He looked extremely terrifying.
Su Jiu pondered slightly in her heart, and decided to directly use “Moonlit Dream” to K.O. the opponent. Firstly, the opponent was indeed fragile, and secondly, if she dragged it on for too long, she would be forced to summon Bairnis, thus losing a trump card.
Currently, her trump cards – Bairnis, the Ghost Car avatar, and the three layers of [Elegy] – were one less each time she used them in this unfamiliar place.
“Die!”
Just as Su Jiu made up her mind, Kantu’er, whose aura had reached its peak, showed a more ferocious grin on his face. With a shift of his body, his domain followed his movement like a weakened skill, causing the air in the places he passed through to be covered with black frost.
“Frost Soul Mad Slash!”
At this moment, Kantu’er’s speed was also much faster than before. With a flash, he appeared in front of Su Jiu, his ice blade drawing countless black streaks, and the air was rippled with frost.
The black streaks of the slash almost covered all the area around Su Jiu, and within the black streaks, there was a bone-chilling coldness.
“You are fast, but… not as fast as me.”
Calmly looking at the situation ahead, Su Jiu gently raised the loquat branch, slightly closing her eyes. When the first ray of sword light approached her, she suddenly opened her eyes, her arm trembled slightly, and she slightly opened her mouth:
“Instant”
In the next moment, it was as if a white light appeared between heaven and earth. The crowd subconsciously closed their eyes, while Elder of the Ninth Clan stared intently at Su Jiu’s figure. When their eyes were involuntarily closed, she softly murmured: “This sword technique is very contradictory, I don’t know how she learned it…”
“Piercing through the void and arriving instantly, this is something only a Walker Level can comprehend. Theoretically, it’s impossible to learn this without rules.”
Snow Empress’s phantom seemed to think of something and softly said, “It’s not impossible to learn. If a top Walker directly disbands their body and infuses all their insights into their brain, they can also learn it.”
“Heh… then her identity’s value has increased.”
Elder of the Ninth Clan smiled faintly and also withdrew her gaze, saying regretfully, “I thought I could see a dragon-tiger battle, but now it’s a one-sided affair. Announce the result, Kantu’er was too careless, he didn’t even activate his defensive energy shield.”
When the white light dispersed, Su Jiu was seen standing high in the void, quietly looking at Kantu’er below. However, she saw the latter kneeling on the stage, his face full of confusion. It was only an instant, how did the offense and defense switch?
One of his arms was severed, and at the broken limb, a huge white mark was left on the stage, as magnificent as a sword immortal cutting down a demon.
“You dare to cut off the arm of our clan’s prodigy?!”
Just as everyone’s faces were stunned, an angry roar sounded. From the VIP area, a black shadow from the Frost Ghost district also flew into mid-air, and its figure rushed onto the stage.
