Terran Guardian - Chapter 3723

Chapter 3700 Victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment

The Poison King Holy Land possessed a Second Tribulation Half-Saint.

In their previous four battles, they were defeated by the Spirit Stream Sword Sect and the Void Sword Sect, and then suppressed the Li Huo Dao Sect and the Forgetful Love Immortal Sect, achieving a record of two wins and two losses.

Seeing this,

Su Gu’s expression softened slightly.

Although the Poison King Holy Land could only achieve three wins at most in this battle, it would still be able to make up for some of their losses.

Every extra or missing share involved a considerable amount of cultivation resources.

As for whether they would lose to the Xuanji Immortal Sect, Su Gu had no worries.

After all,

the Xuanji Immortal Sect’s fifth-round opponent was only a First Tribulation Half-Saint, and moreover, the opponent was not a cultivator from the Xuanji Immortal Sect, but merely an invited outsider.

Such a Half-Saint’s strength would definitely not be very powerful.

At the same time,

the opponent could not possibly possess a top-tier treasure like the Xuanqiong Immortal Sword like Venerable Qingyao.

In Su Gu’s view, the opponent was just someone the Xuanji Immortal Sect brought in to make up the numbers, so as not to make it awkward to send an Immortal Emperor to the fifth round.

Just when he thought the Demon God Chang Geng would immediately admit defeat, he saw the other party take a step forward, instantly revealing his true form as a demon god.

“Boom!!!”

In an instant, the demon god’s true intent, millions of feet long, shattered the sky, and a terrifying, abyss-like killing power erupted, causing the stars in the heavens to tremble, as if countless starlight were falling down, evolving into the power of ten thousand weapons.

This terrifying aura caused all the cultivators’ expressions to change.

“Not good!!”

The half-saint of the Poison King Holy Land’s face changed drastically. Looking at the punch that the Demon God Chang Geng was unleashing, the terrifying threat overwhelmed him, making his breath catch in his throat.

Without hesitation, the other party immediately took action to counter it.

A turbid river of the Great Dao pierced through the void, and a ferocious-looking Dharma image was born. This image had nine heads and six arms, spewing black torrents, intending to completely corrode the Demon God Chang Geng.

But the latter remained fearless. The true form of the Eternal Demon God suppressed everything. Even the deadly poison, strong enough to corrode a half-saint, caused his skin to crack and flesh to dissipate upon contact with him, yet he showed no sign of retreat.

On the contrary,

this only fueled the killing intent within the Chang Geng Demon God.

“Boom!!!”

With a furious roar, the opponent’s flesh and blood dissipated, and hands faintly revealing immortal bones landed on the nine-headed, six-armed Dharma form, tearing it apart. The

nine-headed, six-armed Dharma form let out a defiant roar, and finally, its Daoist aura vanished.

Immediately afterward

, to the horrified gaze of the half-saint of the Poison King Holy Land, a fist from the Chang Geng Demon God, imbued with a thick stench of blood and a murderous aura, also slammed down upon him.

One force can break all laws!

Such immense power filled the half-saint of the Poison King Holy Land with intense fear, but the Chang Geng Demon God’s attack was too overwhelming; there was no time to dodge.

Therefore…

He could only muster all his strength and unleash a punch to clash head-on with the Chang Geng Demon God.

But the moment their fists touched, the half-saint of the Poison King Holy Land regretted it. The terrifying power contained in the Chang Geng Demon God’s punch was far beyond what a first-stage half-saint could possess.

In an instant

, that power struck like a devastating blow, causing the half-saint’s arm to explode, the remaining force seemingly pulverizing half his body.

Suffering such an injury, the half-saint of the Poison King Holy Land hastily retreated, no longer daring to engage the Chang Geng Demon God directly.

But the latter would not allow him to do as he wished.

The Chang Geng Demon God’s attacks were extremely fierce, giving the former no chance to breathe.

Although the half-saint of the Poison King Holy Land had reached the second stage of cultivation, far stronger than the Chang Geng Demon God,

unfortunately,

the Chang Geng Demon God’s foundation was far beyond what an ordinary half-saint could match.

The power of such a top-tier bloodline was truly astonishing.

In the end…

As Chang Geng Demon God unleashed another punch, the body of the Poison King Holy Land’s semi-saint completely exploded, his divine soul detaching from his body and instantly fleeing towards the Poison King Holy Land’s camp.

Seeing this, Chang Geng Demon God did not continue the pursuit. His million-foot-tall demonic body vanished, his rotting flesh slowly healing itself.

“Our Poison King Holy Land concedes defeat in this battle!”

Su Gu said each word with a clear grimace, seemingly wanting nothing more than to skin Chang Geng Demon God alive, yet forced to concede.

After all, their semi-saint’s physical body had been destroyed; continuing the fight would

inevitably lead to their own demise. Every semi-saint was precious to the Poison King Holy Land, and they couldn’t afford to lose them here.

Hearing this,

Chang Geng Demon God remained silent, simply returning to the Xuanji Immortal Sect’s camp.

The other sect’s experts fell silent upon seeing this.

Frankly

, this was the fastest decisive battle in all these rounds of competition.

Chang Geng Demon God fully demonstrated what it means for the outcome of a battle between strong individuals to often hinge on a single moment, and what it means for brute force to overcome all laws.

He risked injury, trading blows for injuries, and with absolute power, suppressed the half-saint of the Poison King Holy Land with overwhelming force.

Such methods

were naturally astonishing.

…

“Fellow Daoist Chang Geng’s strength is extraordinary; I admire him greatly. This is a sacred healing medicine from my Xuanji Immortal Sect. Although it cannot immediately restore your injuries, it is enough to delay them considerably!”

Venerable Luo Tian’s gaze towards Chang Geng Demon God held both amazement and admiration, especially considering that the other party remained unfazed even when severely injured, which was even more admirable.

Originally, Venerable Luo Tian had expected the Xuanji Immortal Sect to end in five defeats in the fifth round.

Unexpectedly ,

Chang Geng Demon God unleashed his power at the crucial moment, forcefully suppressing the half-saint of the Poison King Holy Land.

Although the other party was already severely injured and unlikely to have a chance against the other half-saints from various sects,…

But in Venerable Luo Tian’s view, this was enough.

Winning one

battle meant the Xuanji Immortal Sect would lose two fewer shares.

Such an outcome was naturally excellent.

Therefore, seeing the Chang Geng Demon God injured, Venerable Luo Tian didn’t hesitate and immediately took out the Xuanji Immortal Sect’s treasured elixirs to heal the Demon God’s injuries.

Of course…

Regardless, even if Chang Geng Demon God lost this battle, he couldn’t ignore it.

After all, the other party was fighting for the Xuanji Immortal Sect, and he couldn’t let him feel disheartened.

Moreover,

Chang Geng Demon God came from the Xuantian Dao Sect.

With Shen Changqing’s connection, Luo Tian Venerable couldn’t underestimate him.

On the other side,

Jiu Yue Venerable and Qing Yao Venerable both had expressions of shock on their faces.

Especially Qing Yao Venerable.

She knew very well how difficult it was for a half-saint to fight across realms.

Don’t be fooled by how easily she suppressed Qing Yue Venerable, that was because she used the Xuanqiong Immortal Sword. If it weren’t for the power of the supreme treasure, she wouldn’t have been a match for the latter.

And now,

Chang Geng Demon God didn’t rely on any external force, but entirely on his own methods to suppress the second tribulation half-saint of the Poison King Holy Land.

How could such a foundation not be shocking?

Originally, they thought that the Xuantian Dao Sect had a Xuantian Sword Master, which was already powerful enough.

Unexpectedly.

This sect’s half-saint elder possesses such profound resources.

Thinking of this,

Venerable Qingyao became even more curious about the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Meanwhile,

the other sects looked at the Chang Geng Demon God with curiosity and a hint of apprehension.

Especially the half-saints who would participate in the fifth round of battle; they considered their own chances against the Chang Geng Demon God.

After careful consideration, these half-saints realized their actual odds were probably not high.

However, seeing the Chang Geng Demon God’s current state, they felt somewhat fortunate. Given

his current condition, it was unlikely he could continue fighting.

This meant

they had one less troublesome opponent.

However, this was also thanks to the Poison King Holy Land’s bad luck in ranking first; otherwise, they might be the ones defeated now.

Of course, the half-saints with this thought were all at the second tribulation level.

Those from the Lingxi Sword Sect and the Void Sword Sect who would participate in the fifth round were all at the third tribulation half-saint level, and they had little apprehension towards the Chang Geng Demon God.

The latter, though powerful, was ultimately only a First Tribulation Half-Saint.

While capable of suppressing a Second Tribulation Half-Saint, he was certainly no match for a Third Tribulation Half-Saint.

Soon,

the Lingxi Sword Sect made their move.

As one of only two Third Tribulation Half-Saints in the fifth round, their battle against the Void Sword Sect was a fierce struggle.

However, in the end,

the Lingxi Sword Sect’s Half-Saint was slightly inferior and lost.

Seeing this, Li Chenyuan’s expression improved considerably.

With the Lingxi Sword Sect’s Half-Saint suppressed, the remaining Half-Saints posed no threat to the Void Sword Sect, and the Void Sword Sect could achieve five wins in this round.   Li Chenyuan was quite confident in

this .   Although the Void Sword Sect’s Half-Saint was seriously injured in the battle against the Lingxi Sword Sect’s Half-Saint, the Third Tribulation Half-Saint realm was undeniable, making it easy for them to deal with the other First and Second Tribulation Half-Saints.   As Li Chenyuan’s thoughts settled, the Li Huo Dao Sect and the Wang Qing Immortal Sect successively attacked, but unfortunately, the gap in cultivation was insurmountable, and both ended in defeat.   When they arrived at the Xuanji Immortal Sect, Venerable Luo Tian had already conceded defeat on behalf of the Chang Geng Demon God.   There was no other way.   The battle against the Poison King Holy Land had severely weakened the Chang Geng Demon God; at this point, let alone a Third Tribulation Half-Saint, even a Second Tribulation Half-Saint would be difficult to defeat.   Even if he stubbornly fought on, it wouldn’t change anything.   It was better to simply concede. Thus   ,   the Lingxi Sword Sect ended with four wins and one loss.   Next   was the Void Sword Sect.   Just as Li Chenyuan had expected, without the Lingxi Sword Sect’s obstruction, the remaining three sects’ Half-Saints were no match for them, successfully achieving five wins in the fifth round.   Finally, there was the clash between the Li Huo Dao Sect and the Wang Qing Immortal Sect.   Both sects’ Half-Saints were at the Second Tribulation level, and they were locked in a fierce battle, each determined to win.   Therefore,   both sides fought with all their might, employing every means at their disposal.   Ultimately—   the Li Huo Dao Sect’s Half-Saint, at the cost of severe injury, successfully defeated the Wang Qing Immortal Sect’s Half-Saint.   However, upon witnessing this scene, the expressions of the powerful figures from both the Li Huo Dao Sect and the Wang Qing Immortal Sect were rather grim.   In this battle,   the two sects’ half-saints had fought to a standstill, both severely injured and greatly weakened.   With the Xuanji Immortal Sect watching from behind, and even the Chang Geng Demon God suffering considerable injuries, this situation was already quite unpredictable.
