Chapter 1046 Unexpected Outcome (2/2)

Urgh!

However, Zhang Chengfeng did not have the same power. After chopping through the crimson clouds, the surplus force struck his chest. Blood sprayed from his mouth as his body skidded across the ground, traveling nearly a thousand feet.

It had been a brief exchange, but the winner was already clear.

Meanwhile, outside the metal tower, a commotion swept over the countless onlookers.

From what they had seen so far, the first match would undoubtedly end in Qin Lian’s victory.

The Tianyuan Region side also burst into cheers, the numerous Heavenly Sun experts looking proud.

“As expected of senior sister Qin Lian.” Mu Youlan breathed a sigh of relief. She was the weakest among the Tianyuan Region’s four Heavenly Sun pillars, and honestly, she did not have much of a chance against Zhang Chengfeng. Hence, Qin Lian achieving a clean victory greatly boosted their morale.

Zhou Yuan did not speak and instead glanced at the Great Five Alliance camp. They looked unruffled—no signs of any panic. It was as if they had already predicted this outcome.

He tightly furrowed his brows. What were they thinking? Could they have already accepted their fate?

...

Long scarlet-red hair danced around Qin Lian as she slowly descended. She brandished the scarlet sparrow blade as her cold eyes locked onto Zhang Chengfeng’s b.l.o.o.d.y figure. Nearly his entire chest had been chopped open.

“Cough, as expected of the sixth-ranker on the Heavenly Sun List. You’re truly formidable.” Zhang Chengfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned.

Qin Lian did not reply. She slowly walked forward as her blade dragged across the ground, leaving behind black scorch marks.

Zhang Chengfeng continued, “I know that none of the Great Five Alliance’s Heavenly Sun experts are your match, including myself. Perhaps all of you believe that you will achieve a clean and easy victory...hehe…” The smile on his lips turned strange.

An icy light abruptly blossomed in Qin Lian’s eyes as she suddenly sped forward, turning into a blur of scarlet. She intended to slay Zhang Chengfeng and end the match.

“But Qin Lian, you can’t beat me!” He smiled sinisterly. The flesh on his chest wiggled as something tunneled out from his body. It was a rune dyed in blood. When it emerged, it quickly twisted into itself, turning into a glowing ball.

It pulsed with a heart-palpitating power.

The rune-ball beat faintly like a heart, an exceptionally strange sight.

Although Qin Lian clearly knew that the rune-ball was extremely dangerous, her face remained ice-cold as she ruthlessly swung the scarlet sparrow blade. The gla.s.s sun behind her shone dazzlingly, its torrential Genesis Qi rippling the surrounding s.p.a.ce.

Rumble!

However, before the blade could fall, blood light squirmed across the rune-ball. A terrifying force spouted out, warping even s.p.a.ce itself.

Boom!

Outside the metal tower, countless people watched in shock.

The force was far too frightening, easily tearing apart even the barrier around the arena.

Thump! Thump!

Two figures shot out from the tower and crashed into the Wind Rain Lake’s surface. The figures bounced across the water, leaving deep ripples in their wake. They travelled several thousand feet before coming to a miserable stop.

Urgh!

Qin Lian steadied her body as she vomited a mouthful of blood.

Her eyes were practically spitting fire as she stared at a spot in the distance where Zhang Chengfeng’s limp body floated in the water. His entire body had nearly been torn apart, his face so deathly pale that he looked mere moments from death.

Despite his grave injuries, Zhang Chengfeng still managed to grin at Qin Lian.

Qin Lian’s face turned ugly with anger.

She was not the only one. The faces of Chi Jing, sect master Xuan Kun and the others also darkened.

Qin Lian and Zhang Chengfeng had been blown out of the tower.

Although Zhang Chengfeng only had half a breath left in him, it did not make much of a difference to the outcome.

In other words...what should originally have been a clean and easy victory had ultimately ended in a draw!

Things had gone wrong in the end.
