Chương 39: Demon Yang technique

A few hours later, the top fifty battles finally came to an end, with twenty five disciples eliminated. Now, only the top twenty five disciples remained. The Elite competition had finally reached the peak.

"Now, every disciple is going to compete only once. Whether you win or not will decide your rank from the twenty fifth to the first." The rank seven Yin Elder announced.

"Each disciple will choose his opponents and battle them however he wants. All you need to do is to fight one other competitor." He added. Many people's eyes landed on Jio yu, Yan Jian, Long feng and Li yu'er. These four were undoubtedly going to get the upper hand in this battle. Most of their opponents would probably admit defeat. The competition would truly reach its peak when the top five are about to battle.

By now, everyone had already crowned Yan Jian, Li yu'er and Long feng as part of the top five disciples. Them becoming Elite disciples was an undoubted fact. The competition immediately began. As others were challenging their opponents, Jio yu did something astounding. He walked up to Li Yue'er.

"Miss Li, is it? I find your strength quite interesting and I wish to challenge you to a duel" he said coldly. His voice meant none of the courtesy words his mouth spoke. Without speaking, Li Yue'er jumped into a battle stage. Jio yu felt offended by being ignored but he didn't take it to heart. He jumped into the same stage.

"I will be sure to go easy on you" Jio yu said. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. Many people tensed up as they waited for this battle to begin. Even those who were already fighting stopped their battle and waited. BOOM! Releasing his aura of a rank two Yin level cultivator, Jio yu shot towards Li yu'er and punched out without any fancy skills. Li Yue'er nimbly dodged the punch as if she was a feather. Unfazed, Jio yu smiled.

"Not many have the chance to witness my martial skills" he boasted. His aura began to change. It became dark and gloomy, as if a demon was sealed within him. This change surprised even Long feng. The change in aura made Jio yu's strength to be comparable to a rank three Yin level cultivator! That was probably an arcane technique.

"Nether demon technique!" Jio yu shouted. His face became ferocious and his aura constantly strengthened. It was a demonic technique. Long feng felt a strange resonance with the Demonic aura. It was very faint.

"This is a half Yang level martial skill. It can increase my overall combat power and strengthen my attacks." He shouted. Even his voice sounded scary. Long Feng was impressed. A half Yang level martial skill was truly powerful. It actually raised Jio yu's combat power by an entire level!

"Afraid? You can admit defeat now" Jio yu took Li Yue'er's silence as fear. His smile froze on his lips as Li yu'er released her aura. The aura was that of a rank two Yin level cultivator, but the combat power of the aura was comparable to a rank four Yin level cultivator! From the elders to the disciples, everyone quietened. Jio yu's expression was rather ugly.

"Hmph! Nether demon Yang technique!" He used his skill. The gloomy aura spread and turned into the form of a bloodthirsty demon. It's face was hideous and it had six arms and three eyes. It also wielded a bloody halberd. Grar! The demon growled and charged towards Li yu'er. Jio yu looked pale and strained, as if using the skill was taking a toll on him. The demon lifted the halberd and smashed it down at Li yu'er's head. CLANG! Energy ripples spread out.

A Yin armament longsword had appeared out of nowhere and collided against the halberd, forcing the demon back. And Li yu'er was holding the sword. Jio yu's expression turned uglier. He released more energy into the demon and his face paled. The demon growled again and thrust the halberd at Li yu'er. The strike was clearly faster than before. Sword and halberd collided a couple of times, and Li yu'er was gaining the upper hand. CLANG! They collided once more and Li yu'er moved back.

"Nihility sword strike!" She used her martial skill. Her sword glimmered coldly as a sharp sword light tore it's way towards the demon with surprising speed. The demon was neatly divided into two from its left shoulder to its right leg. It let out one miserable growl before dispersing. Jio yu suffered backlash and fell on one knee, gasping for breath. He had used up his energy. Li Yue'er didn't even glance at him as she walked down the battle stage.

Although most people had expected Jio yu's defeat, what they had not expected was Li Yue'er's combat power. She was a terrifying person!
