Yan Hongtu!
He is a genius carefully cultivated by Longmen Pavilion!
Even if the top five seeded players do not put in their best effort, they may still fail and be defeated by the genius of Longmen Pavilion.
But now...
His knife...
His blade, which was his strongest point and had killed countless ferocious beasts, was actually held in Li Pin's hand with his flesh and blood, making it impossible for this nearly 1.8-meter-long saber to fall even a little bit.
When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns.
This overwhelming pressure...
So strong that it's almost suffocating.
"Li Pin!"
Yan Hongtu roared.
His eyes instantly became bloodshot, as if he had activated some secret technique again. A violent force exploded from his body. He was already 1.96 meters tall, and his figure seemed to expand slightly again, almost two meters tall.
But this expansion obviously comes at a price.
The surging and boiling qi and blood seemed to burst the blood vessels, seeping out from the body surface.
But he held the knife tightly, and his strength burst out in waves, trying to press the blade downwards like a tidal wave, splitting Li Pin in half from his palm to the whole person.
pity…
He has strong explosiveness.
Lee Bin's explosion...
Stronger!
Although Yan Hongtu had received the best instruction, his Qi and blood had long been perfected, reaching the limit that a master or even a martial saint could normally reach, and even exceeded it by as much as 40 points.
But after Li Yin refined the Gathering Spirit Pearl, his Qi, Blood and Physical Strength values were close to 44, coupled with the Blood Burning Secret Technique that he created perfectly according to his own conditions...
In terms of basic attributes such as strength and physique, let alone Martial Saints and apprentice Star Refiners, even those formal Star Refiners who have just mastered the power have to admit defeat in front of him.
No matter how Yan Hongtu activated his secret technique or how hard he pushed his limits, the blade in Li Bin's hand seemed to be frozen in the void and could not be pressed down even a little bit.
"It seems like this is really your limit."
Li Pin was a little disappointed.
The next moment, a terrifying force rose from his body, accompanied by the sudden explosion of force from every muscle and bone...
The blade he held in his mortal hand...
He was shocked suddenly and pulled to the side.
"Bang!"
Flames burst out.
Under the horrified and unbelievable gazes of everyone, the nearly one-meter-long blade was actually broken on the spot by the burst of strength he exerted in a small space.
Iron filings flew.
Yan Hongtu, who was holding the knife handle tightly and pressing down with all his strength, suddenly lost this "support" point, coupled with the force of Li Pin breaking the blade...
As a result, he suddenly rushed forward to the front of Li Bin due to inertia.
The sudden emptiness of the absence of an opponent, as well as the weakness caused by the long-term maintenance of the secret technique, made him unable to even maintain his body shape the moment he pounced forward. After running forward a few steps, he fell to the ground.
It looks as miserable as it can be.
"We admit defeat. We admit defeat."
The tactical instructor took this opportunity to shout again.
The referees on the referee committee looked at each other.
At this time, Yan Hongtu actually still had some fighting power left, although he had temporarily left the battle. However, without him speaking in person, the tactical instructor's words of surrender did not have much effect.
But let alone the martial arts masters who acted as referees, anyone who knew a little about martial arts could see that Yan Hongtu and Li Binjian were not on the same level at all.
If we let them continue to fight, it would just be one-sided abuse.
At that moment, several members of the referee committee nodded.
Seeing this, the tactical instructor called several medical staff and rushed onto the arena and came to Yan Hongtu's side.
But Yan Hongtu was holding the saber in his hand, and his blood-stained right hand was shaking constantly, as if he was unable to hold it.
"My knife... my knife..."
There was a hint of disorientation in his eyes.
The whole person's spirit and energy completely collapsed the moment the sword broke and he fell on the arena.
"How could... this be the result..."
His tactical advisor hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay. Victory and defeat are common in the military. In this world, there is no such thing as always being victorious or invincible. You are still young, and you will definitely be able to achieve success in the future..."
As he spoke, his expression froze.
young
Of all the contestants in the world's number one martial arts competition, including the nearly one hundred who have been eliminated and even the dozens who have died, add them all together, who is as young as Li Yin
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's go back and practice hard in seclusion. Then we can apply for more advanced star instruments to assist in our practice..."
He stopped again halfway through his words.
A more advanced star weapon training!
The world's number one martial arts competition is over. Regardless of whether Li Yin can win first place or not, he will definitely get a chance to become a dragon son.
And Longzi...
That means you are qualified to use legendary star weapons!
For a moment, he quickly changed his words: "The reason for this failure must be that our secret techniques and skills are still lacking. As long as we can exchange for more advanced skills and secret techniques, then..."
He paused again.
The support behind Li Bin seems to be a small or medium-sized force with only one star refiner
What good skills and secret techniques can such a force come up with
I guess he doesn’t even have the top-notch Martial Saint inheritance.
Although it was known that when he was to participate in the world's number one martial arts competition, the shortcomings in his skills and secret techniques would be made up by the Taibai royal family, there was only more than a month left and there was no time to make improvements.
in other words…
The level of his skills and secret techniques is most likely not as good as Yan Hongtu's.
Age is not good enough, star equipment is not good enough, and there is no advantage in the technique either...
this…
This tactical instructor will be completely defeated.
Yan Hongtu, who had come back to his senses, seemed to have thought of this.
For a moment, an unprecedented gap brought unspeakable despair, which rolled in and instantly filled his heart.
Holding his beloved broken sword, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long cry full of sorrow and collapse: "No! No! No!"
…
"This contestant."
At this time, the host interrupted: "We understand your grief, but please go down and rest first. We should invite new contestants to compete on stage."
Yan Hongtu and his tactical advisor, who were in grief, realized that not only had everyone finished cheering for the winner, Li Bin, but they had even...
Li Pin stepped down directly.
For a moment, this tactical instructor, who had the cultivation of a martial saint and also had to save his reputation, naturally could not stay on the competition stage any longer. He quickly called a few people and supported the exhausted Yan Hongtu to the contestants' rest area.
Looking at Yan Hongtu who was being carried down, the Sun Saint, Song Wuya, Duan Yidao, Nan Lifeng and others all looked at him with complicated expressions.
Although Yan Hongtu was a little embarrassed at this time, but...
However, not many of them were as grateful as before for the loss of a strong opponent.
because…
Song Wuya and Duan Yidao glanced deeply in the direction of Li Pin.
"Li Pin! Li Pin!"
"I have always thought that the only people who could prevent me from winning the world's number one martial arts tournament were Zhao Yushi, Cheng Yufeng, and the Great Sun Saint. I never expected... a 23-year-old young martial arts saint would suddenly appear."
and…
This Martial Saint was obviously more powerful than they had expected.
The best proof is that after defeating Cheng Yufeng head-on, he still had the energy left to easily defeat Yan Hongtu.
Facing this opponent, all of them will face what is probably the most severe test since their debut.
…
"Yan Hongtu, I'm afraid it's over."
The Black Tortoise Dharma King beside the Great Sun Saint sighed, "In this battle, his spirit and energy were all crushed by Li Pin. Unless one day he can fight Li Pin again with great perseverance and determination and win the battle, and get rid of the psychological shadow brought by today's defeat, otherwise... in this lifetime, I am afraid he will never be able to gather his martial arts will and strive for the title of Martial Saint."
The Son of the Sun withdrew his gaze from Li Pin and turned to Yan Hongtu.
He could see that there was no "light" in Yan Hongtu's eyes anymore.
Compared with Cheng Yufeng, his defeat this time was more complete.
He wouldn't be surprised even if he chooses to withdraw from the competition next.
but…
Now is not the time for him to worry about this problem.
because…
"Next, let us invite the Martial Saint from the Great Sun Religion, one of our five seeded players, the Great Sun Saint Son, to the stage!"
The host's loud and inspiring voice echoed over the stadium.
He doesn't have much time left.
"Your Majesty, should I... choose to challenge Li Yin to a fight?"
The Son of the Sun stood up and asked as he began to prepare.
"He fought Cheng Yufeng first, then Yan Hongtu... Although it seemed that defeating Yan Hongtu was quite easy, the continuous burst of blood pills and activation of secret techniques would consume some energy, but..."
The Xuanwu Dharma King paused for a moment and said, "Whether you want to challenge him at this time, don't ask me, ask yourself."
He cast his gaze on the Son of the Sun: "Do you think you have enough confidence, determination, and will to fight Li Yin and win?"
The Son of the Sun pondered and said nothing.
The Xuanwu Dharma King did not urge anyone and waited quietly.
After several seconds, he slowly said, "A few days ago, I met Li Yin in the competition area. At that time, one of us had to fight against an orc warrior and the other had to deal with a red-fanged tiger. As a result... I was knocked away by the orc warrior in the first encounter... Under the circumstances at that time, if Li Yin hadn't been there, I would probably have died. From this point of view, he saved my life."
He gradually made a decision in his mind.
"And what I, the Holy Son of the Sun, hate most in my life is those who know how to be grateful but don't repay it."
He spoke righteously.
After saying this, he strode quickly and went straight to the arena.
"So, Holy Son of the Great Sun Cult, the opponent you are challenging is..."
The host also immediately asked the questions that everyone wanted to know.
The Great Sun Holy Son's gaze turned and passed directly past Li Pin, even past Su Feiyu, and fell on Nan Lifeng.
"I choose to challenge him, Nan Lifeng!"
