Li Daoxun suddenly realized that this was Su Yuan's first proactive move in numerous battles thus far.
In previous battles, he had often controlled lightning in place, hardly moving at all!
Li Daoxun's eyes narrowed. Aside from the Liangyi Qi Sword above his head blocking the Heavenly Thunder, the remaining Liangyi Qi Swords immediately surged toward Su Yuan for a kill!
Su Yuan was enveloped in black light, and it felt as if the space around him had been altered. The original Thunder Array abruptly vanished, replaced by a formation field filled with blue radiance.
"Land without Spirit!"
Blue light flashed brightly throughout the domain, and a strong dispersing force exploded outwards!
In an instant, all the surrounding Liangyi Qi Swords attacking swiftly disintegrated like ashes from the outside in, leaving no trace of energy around!
Li Daoxun's pupils contracted, but his actions didn't stop.
Li Daoxun's Star Power surged within him, seemingly activating some kind of skill. Intense black energy radiated from his body while his aura rapidly escalated.
However, the Star Power that burst from his body was also affected by the Land without Spirit. It was dispersed in just a second or two.
"How could this be?!"
Li Daoxun was deeply shocked. His enhancement skill was suppressed by this dispersing force, rendering it incomplete!
At this moment, the 365 stars on Su Yuan's body were already fully lit.
Star Light surged, and silver light shone like a stream as Su Yuan swung the Demon Saber for an attack!
Li Daoxun barely had time to think; he quickly raised his gray longsword to block.
However, when the blade and sword collided, an unimaginable force emanated from the saber, causing Li Daoxun's expression to change dramatically. He spat out blood and was sent flying.
"This strength, how can it be stronger than Xun Yang's by so much!"
Li Daoxun was shocked beyond words. Wasn't he supposed to be proficient in magic? How was his physical body also so terrifying?
And what is with this Forbidden Technique field?
Li Daoxun gritted his teeth, feeling that the dispersing force around him was gradually diminishing. There were only a few seconds left...
But a silver flash appeared before him, and the silver-eyed youth bathed in dazzling Star Light was now right in front of him again.
"In a few seconds... can you last?"
The opponent's fearsome physical body, while his own enhancement skill couldn't be fully activated...
Li Daoxun knew the answer in his heart and momentarily felt a sense of disorientation.
In the next instant, the Demon Saber, glowing with dark light, was already resting steadily on Li Daoxun's shoulder.
Su Yuan spoke, "Special Envoy Li, thank you for your concession."
Li Daoxun looked at Su Yuan, feeling the Star Power around him beginning to recover, and sighed heavily.
Victory and defeat occurred in an instant. Although the opponent's skill seemed to only last a few seconds, if he had been prepared earlier, he wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
But a win is a win, and a loss is a loss.
Fortunately, it was only a contest rather than a life-and-death battle. Otherwise, he would have lost not just the Star Lord position but his life too!
Besides, even if he withstood those few seconds, who's to say the opponent didn't have other means?
Initially, he had thought the Liangyi Qi Sword could block the Thunder Technique but maybe not the Dual Divine Fire's attack from Xia Xuan, hence he chose Su Yuan as his opponent.
Unexpectedly, the Thunder Technique was blocked, but he was defeated in such a manner...
Li Daoxun looked at the silver-eyed youth in front of him, whose expression remained calm, and said seriously, "Special Envoy Su, your strength is formidable. I admit my loss!"
Su Yuan nodded, accepting it frankly.
In reality, Li Daoxun's assessment was not far off.
The Five Thunders Heavenly Gang Formation was already operating at full capacity. But it was only a scattered attack of a single type of lightning.
The combined attack of multiple Divine Thunders, even the strongest move of the Thunder Array, had not been used...
Moreover, the Spirit-Expelling Barrier was not just one. Besides the one in the Number 1 negative space where the Five Thunders Heavenly Gang Formation was located, the other three negative spaces were also Spirit-Expelling Barriers. They could still use the Land without Spirit two more times...
Outside the arena, the sudden change in situation and Li Daoxun's surrender immediately sparked discussions among the spectators.
"Li Daoxun actually gave up!"
"What happened just now? The lightning suddenly disappeared, but Li Daoxun's Liangyi Qi Swords also disintegrated!"
"And doesn't Li Daoxun have Dao Void Qi Soul Enhancement Skill? How did he still lose the close combat fight?"
The crowd initially thought it would be a clash between the Liangyi Qi Sword and Thunder Technique. But the situation changed dramatically in a short time, determining the winner in moments!
"Su Yuan is amazing! Even Li Daoxun was defeated. Now, only Wu Qi is left!" Baili Ge looked at Su Yuan in the arena, exclaiming excitedly, "Or if Wu Qi challenges Xia Xuan... then Su Yuan is already a Quasi-star Lord!"
Fu Dongliu took a deep breath. "So, he hasn't even used his full strength yet?"
Song Xingyun, who had been defeated earlier, sighed bitterly. The gap between them was wider than anticipated!
On the Jade Pillar, Zhang Qianyi smiled with admiration. "This Special Envoy Su sure has a plethora of skills!"
"Not only diverse but also powerful!" Chen Chunhua's expression was serious. "And so young... It's unimaginable how he cultivated. He's like a prodigy."
After this battle, the three Star Lords noticed the plethora of strong techniques used by the silver-eyed youth on the stage!
From the initial Thunder Array Domain to the robust physical body and Pupil Skill, all the way to the skill that dispelled magic. Each one was formidable for an average Special Envoy.
Yet now, they all appeared in one person!
Chen Chunhua said, "If I'm not mistaken, the earlier Thunder Array Domain and the subsequent Dispelling Field should both be his Power of Soul."
To be able to switch between two powerful domains at will... who knows how he achieved that."
Zhang Qianyi's Clear Energy swirled in his eyes, and he squinted while smiling. "This one should not be underestimated... I look forward to more interaction with him in the future."
Chen Chunhua said, "So next, we will see who Wu Qi will challenge."
Not just the three people in the sky, now, everyone turned their eyes to Xu Fan.
The second and fourth on the Battle Merit List had each been defeated by Su Yuan and Xia Xuan.
Given the present conditions, one of the two would likely become the Star Lord.
But the outcome hinged on the first place on the Battle Merit List... Wu Qi.
Under everyone's gaze, Wu Qi didn't make a move.
"Wu Qi, is he not going?" Wu Qi, still standing silently without approaching either arena, under everyone's watchful eyes.
Song Xingyun, Fu Dongliu, and others faintly realized something. Their expressions changed slightly. "Could it be...?"
"Will anyone else step up?" Wu Qi suddenly asked. His cold voice echoed around.
Everyone looked at each other but no one stepped forward.
"In that case, can we proceed to the second stage?" Wu Qi looked at the three on the Jade Pillar above.
Once the words were out, the spectators were initially stunned, then quickly reacted.
"He's going to challenge the Star Lords directly!"
