Chapter 20: Evil Art

Just as Qin Yefeng brought his hands together in a chopping motion, the golden-yellow flames gathered above his head.

A massive Flame Battle Saber appeared in the sky, and then it slashed down fiercely, chopping toward Liu Ying with imposing momentum.

At this moment, Liu Ying suddenly opened his eyes. His sinister gaze resembled the pupils of a green Spirit Snake, eerie and terrifying.

As the snake pupils flickered with green light, he bizarrely dodged Qin Yefeng’s swift and fierce attack.

Moreover, he had actually shed a layer of skin from his body. Even the pitch-black skin that had just been burned by the golden flames completely peeled off at this moment.

His entire person was like a silkworm pupa breaking out of its cocoon, or more accurately, like the patterned skin of a molting python.

Liu Ying’s shed pitch-black skin now lay in a heap on the ground, the snake patterns on it clearly visible. Meanwhile, his newly grown skin was bizarrely tender and white, like a baby’s.

His pitch-black palm, which had been burned like dead wood, had also recovered. Not a single wound could be seen on the tender white skin.

Liu Ying licked the corners of his mouth, his pupils revealing an abnormal excitement, as if he treated Qin Yefeng as his prey.

Immediately after, his figure rapidly slithered forward. His bent fingers, like the fangs of a snake, clawed forward, attacking Qin Yefeng with ruthless methods.

Green smoke of Spiritual Power permeated around Liu Ying, making his figure extremely blurry within it as he slithered forward with lightning speed.

“What the hell is this? What an absolute monster!” Qin Yefeng stared fixedly at Liu Ying, who was suddenly rushing toward him.

He executed the Soaring Cloud Movement Technique to directly dodge this attack, his hands fiercely preparing for a chopping motion.

The White-haired Elder was more experienced and knowledgeable, and at this moment, he was somewhat astonished! This was because he discovered that Liu Ying had actually cultivated a vicious Secret Art from the Spirit Snake Steps!

This kind of Secret Art was an extremely dangerous existence. One had to place their body into a pit full of venomous snakes to be bitten in order to cultivate it. Moreover, the Scorpion Basin Agony was not something an ordinary person could endure. It was extremely dangerous, but once successfully cultivated, it would grant extreme speed.

“Damn it!” The Law Enforcement Captain of the Holy Sun Academy also discovered that Liu Ying had secretly cultivated a Secret Art.

The Law Enforcement Captain frowned. The Holy Sun Academy was an orthodox and righteous sect; why would a disciple under its banner cultivate such an Evil Art? Once Liu Ying finished this fight, he must be heavily punished.

The students below the Battle Stage were also filled with surprise. The vast majority of them could not tell what Martial Arts Technique Liu Ying was using to actually possess such incredible speed!

Liu Ying felt that after using the Spirit Snake Steps Secret Method, the Spiritual Power inside his body was endless. His body felt as light as the wind; it was truly wonderful.

Subsequently, Liu Ying’s figure elongated and closely circled around Qin Yefeng. He prepared to find a position behind Qin Yefeng to deliver a fatal blow.

Qin Yefeng realized that Liu Ying’s speed was truly too fast. His current speed was more than three times faster than before his transformation.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Countless sharp claws scratched toward Qin Yefeng. Liu Ying’s venomous green-dyed fingers carried astonishing power with every clawing strike. Only an explosion was heard.

Boom!

The golden flames in Qin Yefeng’s hands slashed down fiercely, and the golden Flame Battle Saber burst apart.

The impact generated by the two caused the earth to tremble. Several long cracks split open on the ground, and dust flew into the air. It took a long time for the dust to settle.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The moment the green Spiritual Power smoke on Liu Ying’s body was broken, Qin Yefeng directly rushed in front of him.

With extreme speed, the golden flames on his hands ignited once again. Crossing his palms, he chopped down fiercely toward Liu Ying’s chest.

“Ugh!” Liu Ying was instantly shocked.

This Qin Yefeng had actually broken his poison mist and even dared to take the initiative to attack. This was truly unexpected for him, but at this moment, it was already too late to try and clash head-on.

At the critical juncture, Liu Ying directly protected his chest with both hands, using a green Spiritual Power Shield to protect himself.

Crack!

The green Spiritual Power Shield directly shattered, and the crossed hands carrying golden flames chopped fiercely onto Liu Ying’s chest.

“Blergh~~”

Liu Ying spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He felt as if his sternum had been shattered, forcing him to half-kneel on the ground.

With his head lowered, he couldn’t believe this scene. He had Xiantian Cultivation and so much actual combat experience; how could he lose!

Under Qin Yefeng’s gaze, Liu Ying, supported by three points, was struggling bitterly to get up.

“This Liu Ying is truly too shameless. He said he would suppress his cultivation to fight Qin Yefeng, but now he even used a Spiritual Power Shield that only those in the Xiantian Realm can use!”

“Yeah, makes sense. I think if Liu Ying hadn’t used the Spiritual Power Shield, he would probably be lying on the ground unable to get up by now.”

“Since Liu Ying used Xiantian Spiritual Power, he has already lost the match. Good job, Qin Yefeng!”

The audience below the stage all thought the Grand Competition was over. The White-haired Elder was also preparing to go up to the Battle Stage to announce the match result—Qin Yefeng had achieved victory and won the title of Seeded Contestant.

He absolutely could not lose the match in front of so many teachers and students. Liu Ying growled in a low voice, “I haven’t lost yet. I must achieve victory in this match!”

At this very moment, the half-kneeling Liu Ying’s face became extremely hideous, his eyes revealing madness.

In an extremely short period of time, the Spiritual Power inside Liu Ying’s body had erupted to the limit.

Liu Ying, who originally had Xiantian Cultivation, now erupted with his full strength. His body carrying the rampaging and violent Xiantian Power, he charged forward and viciously thrust a claw toward Qin Yefeng.

“Qin Yefeng, go to hell!”

Qin Yefeng stared fixedly at Liu Ying, who was violently sweeping over, and noticed that his pupils were so mad. At this moment, Liu Ying was not a human at all, but a man-eating Snake Demon.

At this moment, Qin Yefeng truly and clearly felt the danger of death.

“Ah!”

Qin Yefeng let out an explosive shout. Golden flames began to emerge all over his body. The Dragon Blood inside his body boiled, and even his Spiritual Power erupted to the limit.

At this moment, even the air around Qin Yefeng began to burn with a sizzling sound.

Qin Yefeng stared at Liu Ying ahead, then jumped off both feet, charging directly at Liu Ying, ready to risk his life. His hands, carrying golden Saber Shadows, chopped down fiercely.

The White-haired Elder was closest to the Battle Stage. A breath ago, he had noticed that the aura on Liu Ying’s body was wrong.

He directly utilized the speed of his True Essence Power, rushing onto the Battle Stage at the fastest speed to stop the match.

However, everything happened too fast. If Qin Yefeng really died, he would not be able to escape the blame.

Qin Yefeng, you must not let anything happen to you!

Qin Xue’s eyes stared at this scene on the Battle Stage, and she coldly sighed in her heart, “Qin Yefeng, you will undoubtedly die today!”
