Swish!

The bronze wheel rotated, and the dense bloody patterns on its surface splashed out billions of blood-colored arcs of light. They resembled gruesome, bloody rivers dancing wildly.

The terrifying aura was full of the power of an Emperor-grade treasure.

This item was Wu Huang's trump card and was called the Divine Blood Prison Wheel. If an Emperor used it, they could even open a blood prison world, suppress all things, and refine all spirits!

However, the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda was no less impressive.

This tower grew rapidly as it reached a height of around three hundred thousand feet. Its body was like a bronze liquid, revealing a primitive and ancient aura of the primordial world.

Around it, rays of divine light shot out, stirring the nine heavens and ten earths!

The two treasures competed with each other, causing the entire battlefield to become turbulent. Furthermore, their destructive auras were rampant. Just looking at it from a distance made people tremble with fear as their scalps tingled with warning.

"God’s Blood Thorn!"

After a moment, Wu Huang suddenly made a grabbing motion.

Buzz!

A bright red, nine-inch sharp spearhead immediately appeared as it pierced through the air and flashed away.

Following that, Lu Dubu, who was dozens of feet away, violently shook and a grimace of pain showed up on his face.

Alarmingly, he showed signs of losing control over the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda.

At the same time, Wu Huang had already shuttled through the air and was attacking him. His figure resembled an ancient gray lightning bolt as he instantly appeared in front of Lu Dubu.

A fierce slap came down!

Although Lu Dubu reacted in time and blocked with his arms, the power of this slap was terrifying as it exploded with a bang. Lu Dubu’s arms, flesh, tendons, and bones were shattered. It was as if he had been hit by a sacred mountain as he flew backwards.

Before he fell to the ground, he had coughed up a heavy amount of blood.

"Oh no!"

There was a cry of surprise from the audience, and the expressions of many influential figures changed as they shot up.

Seeing that Wu Huang had taken advantage of the situation to attack again, Lu Dubu suddenly roared loudly, and a flying sword immediately flew out of him.

Swish!

The flying sword flashed lightly, and Wu Huang was unable to dodge. A layer of flesh was subsequently cut from his shoulder. His blood splattered and his bones were faintly visible.

"Asking for death!"

Wu Huang's eyes were cold as he rushed forward in a domineering and aggressive manner.

In his palm, the nine-inch, bright red spearhead appeared again and burst out.

Lu Dubu trembled as his face turned pale. His expression was full of pain.

Immediately afterwards, he was blown away by Wu Huang's palm attack.

Puff!

Lu Dubu coughed up more blood and had clearly suffered severe injuries.

Everyone shuddered and felt inexplicably horrified. They could all tell that the bright red spearhead that Wu Huang was using was the crux to Lu Dubu's severe injury!

Guan Xu suddenly interjected, "That’s enough."

He waved his sleeves, and the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda burst out with a terrifying divine light, stopping Lu Dubu.

It also blocked Wu Huang's follow-up attack.

Wu Huang sneered and immediately stopped, not continuing to attack.

He also knew that there was no chance for him to kill Lu Dubu on this battlefield.

"That treasure is not under your power at all."

In the arena, Lu Dubu's face was pale, and his eyes were unwilling.

"Humph, a loss is a loss. Are you still trying to make excuses now? Lu Dubu, stop being a sore loser!"

Wu Huang looked cold and grim.

Lu Dubu's expression was uncertain as he gritted out, "Winning with external objects is one thing, but using external forces to win is despicable!"

After that, he turned and walked down from the arena.

Everyone present was in doubt.

External objects naturally referred to treasures like the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda.

But what did Lu Dubu mean by ‘external forces’?

Was there an unknown secret within that bright red spearhead?

Unfortunately, no matter what, Lu Dubu had been defeated.

Thus, he could only be ranked third!

This result made the bigwigs present sigh because no one had expected that a peerless figure like Lu Dubu would only be ranked third in the competition.

Xie Yuhua, Wang Tu, Su Muhan, and the others all looked solemn.

The circumstances surrounding Lu Dubu's tragic defeat were full of oddities. If he and Wuang had really competed in terms of their own combat power, then he would have never been defeated so quickly.

There had to be only one reason why the results were what they were: the trump card mastered by Wu Huang was too weird and unpredictable!

Heng Xiao suddenly interjected, "Daoist Lan, Phantasm Empyrean Island has produced an extraordinary disciple. Tsk tsk, his methods are really powerful."

Daoist Lan's expression flickered slightly as he retorted, "Heng Xiao, don't try to sow discord. This is just a Dao Debate Contest. Wu Huang didn't do anything he wasn’t supposed to."

"Okay, you two don't need to discuss this any more. A disciple of my Great Void Sect can afford to lose. I, Guan Xu, can't be mad simply because one of my youngsters has lost,” interjected Guan Xu in a deep voice.

Daoist Lan relaxed a little. He was obviously aware of Wu Huang's true origins. While Wu Huang might have no scruples in offending Great Void Sect, Phantasm Empyrean Island didn’t have the guts to.

Fortunately, Guan Xu would not hate Phantasm Empyrean Island because Lu Dubu had been defeated, which was naturally the best scenario.

Heng Xiao smiled in response, but he had secretly made up his mind. If Jin Duyi also ended up losing in this way in the next duel with Wu Huang, he would never let this point go!

He might even announce Wu Huang's origins on the spot. He would not hesitate even if it meant he would be targeted by the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect in the future!

Guan Xu announced, "In a quarter of an hour, Jin Duyi will face Wu Huang."

This meant that the first and second place winners of the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest would also be decided in this duel!

Lu Dubu suddenly sent a voice message to Lin Xun, "Brother Jin, you must be careful of that treasure. It is filled with an unpredictable and strange power, which can cause great damage to the soul and spirit and is hard to guard against."

Lin Xun was startled and responded, "Thank you."

He had also witnessed the previous battle and knew that although the bronze wheel was horribly powerful, he needed to pay more attention to the bright-red, nine-inch spearhead.

However, Lin Xun did not expect that Lu Dubu would take the initiative to remind him.

"Although this reminder may seem like a show of courtesy, I am really unwilling to accept this loss of mine. Brother Jin, don't take this to heart."

Lu Dubu's voice transmission was full of bitterness.

Lin Xun nodded.

It was normal for Lu Dubu to be unwilling to accept this outcome!

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xun stood up and walked onto the battlefield, looking calm and composed.

Wu Huang's figure flashed and appeared out of thin air on the other side of the arena.

As the two entered the arena, the whole audience became focused and attentive.

Jin Duyi was a young man who had constantly created miracles as a dark horse, and he was a peerless figure who was still hard to figure out.

Between him and Wu Huang, who would win the title of number one in the Dao Debate Contest of Cloud State?

At this moment, Heng Xiao and Jintian Xuanyue also held their breath.

It was not that they lacked confidence in Lin Xun, but instead Wu Huang's unexpected strength had forced them to pay close attention to this battle.

"Jin Duyi, I promise that you will lose miserably in this fight. Unless you voluntarily admit defeat, I will not stop!"

Wu Huang looked cold, and his voice was indifferent and icy with a layer of terrifying killing intent.

Many people's hearts tightened. This was the first time since the start of the Dao Debate Contest that Wu Huang had targeted a person like this, and he was not hiding his murderous intention.

Lin Xun simply smiled and said, "Oh.”

His response gave people a strange feeling of contempt, as if he was too lazy to attack the other party verbally.

Wu Huang pointed at Lin Xun from a distance and then gestured in front of his neck. This was an obvious attempt at provocation.

Boom!

The next moment, he suddenly disappeared from the spot. At the same time, the Divine Blood Prison Wheel rose into the air, spinning wildly with a buzzing sound as it splashed out billions of rays of blood-colored light.

Lin Xun was immediately submerged in the glow, resembling a piece of straw in a storm that might be overwhelmed at any time.

"Die!"

The terrifying thing was that in the midst of that Wu Huang had suddenly appeared with a heavy punch. The blood-colored fist force was like lightning falling from the sky and was extremely strong and domineering.

"Scram."

However, Lin Xun, who was about to be submerged, revealed a chilly and sarcastic look within the bloody light and shadows.

He pressed out with his palm.

Kaboom!

The nearby blood-colored light exploded and turned into ashes, and Wu Huang's punch that was coming towards him was also destroyed inch by inch.

Then, Wu Huang was slapped away like a fly.

The whole audience gawked as pure surprise surfaced on many of their faces. While under the suppression of an Emperor-grade treasure, Jin Duyi, who was unarmed, had actually dominated Wu Huang's attack in one fell swoop!

"It's really unexpected..."

Heng Xiao couldn't help but smack his lips. His sect founder’s junior uncle was simply strong beyond imagination.

"Hmph!"

Wu Huang's eyes flickered, and a strange divine light flowed out between them, which was extremely terrifying.

Buzz!

With a single thought, the Divine Blood Prison Wheel began to glow brightly, spinning wildly, as it rushed towards Lin Xun from the void.

Wu Huang's figure disappeared again, as if he had evaporated out of thin air, and no one in the area could catch a trace of him.

Only the blazing bloody wheel was rumbling down.

𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

There was no way to avoid it. Although the arena was large, it was completely covered by the power of the Divine Blood Prison Wheel. The space around it could not withstand its power and collapsed with a loud bang.

At this time, Lin Xun was still unarmed!

This made everyone nervous. Some detail-oriented spectators suddenly realized that in all of the selection rounds, no matter what kind of opponent he encountered, Jin Duyi had never used any external objects.

Did he not have a treasure that suited him?

Impossible!

How could such a stunning and outstanding talent not have even one treasure?

Before anyone could react, a sharp collision sound that resembled gold being pierced or stone being split echoed loudly, stirring the nine heavens and ten earths. Everyone trembled as their eardrums throbbed, and their blood and qi roiled within them.

Those influential figures could only feel their hearts thumping loudly as their eyes narrowed.

Then Lin Xun rushed up and collided with the Divine Blood Prison Wheel that was coming down on him as it splashed out endless divine light!

His heroic and arrogant composure shocked everyone present.

That was an Emperor-grade treasure!

However, at this time, it was hit hard by Lin Xun's punch and was blocked in the void!

Such a scene was completely beyond everyone's imagination.

Wu Huang, who had disappeared, instantly appeared behind Lin Xun and punched at him.

His reappearance had been silent.

This punch was also silent!

There was no aura fluctuation at all, as if all of his power was condensed into this punch, which was extremely strange.

All the experts who witnessed this scene felt their expressions morph.

The timing of Wu Huang's attack was so accurate that it was simply perfect!
