Chapter 83: Unstoppable

The entire arena was plunged into silence. All eyes, filled with shock and disbelief, converged upon Zhao Yongde’s lifeless body. How could it be that Zhao Yongde, who possessed the Barbarian King Physique and had reached the second tier of the Celestial Realm, was dead? And he had fallen to Jun Wushuang, who was only at the sixth tier of the Divine Sea Realm. Impossible! Everyone’s minds reeled, unable to accept this reality.

"Young master has won!" Lin Mengyao cried out in delight, cheering for Jun Wushuang. Beside her, Mo Xingyun let out a sigh of relief, the weight in his heart lightened somewhat. Victory in the first bout—this was a monumental piece of good news for Azure Cloud Martial Academy. Although Liu Yiyi and Aman did not fully grasp the significance of this battle, seeing Jun Wushuang triumphant filled them with genuine joy.

"A despicable scoundrel! He actually resorted to a sneak attack—shameless!" Suddenly, Nangong Tianxuan broke the silence, deliberately twisting the facts and accusing Jun Wushuang of ambushing Zhao Yongde. How else could Jun Wushuang possibly have slain Zhao Yongde unless it was through a sneak attack? It could only be that!

"Indeed, attacking someone off guard—how can that be the act of a true hero?"
"So shameless, using such underhanded means to win."
"Senior Zhao died such an unjust death—this country bumpkin deserves to die!"
The students of the Royal Martial Academy echoed these accusations, insisting that Jun Wushuang had struck by surprise.

"How can they be so shameless?" Lin Mengyao was dumbfounded; she had never witnessed such brazen dishonesty. Mo Xingyun and Jun Wushuang, however, remained calm. They had long since been acquainted with the Royal Martial Academy’s shamelessness—it was nothing new. If only the King of Southern Command were here, he would surely put them in their place.

"Country bumpkin! How dare you ambush Senior Zhao? I will avenge him!"
A long howl pierced the air as a slender youth, faster than lightning, charged toward Jun Wushuang. This was a third-tier Celestial Realm expert, adept in speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was upon Jun Wushuang.

"Senior Ji Feng, kill that country bumpkin!"
"Give him no quarter—slay him and let him accompany Senior Zhao in death!"
The Royal Martial Academy students roared in fury. Zhao Yongde’s death had deepened their hatred for Jun Wushuang.

"Advanced Profound Martial Skill: Whirlwind Tempest Slash!"
Ji Feng, wielding a short sword, drew in the spiritual energy within three hundred meters. With a single slash, he fused sword energy with heaven and earth, forming a whirlwind of sword qi three hundred meters wide, bearing down upon Jun Wushuang like a storm.

"Mental Martial Skill: Lethal Strike!"
Ji Feng did not underestimate Jun Wushuang, nor truly believe Zhao Yongde had fallen to a mere sneak attack. He held nothing back, unleashing even his mental martial skill. Invisible spiritual force sharpened into a sword, deadly and precise.

Boom!
Ji Feng attacked with full force, sealing off all paths of retreat for Jun Wushuang. The terrifying whirlwind of sword qi and mental martial skill made everyone feel a surge of mortal danger.

"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
The Royal Martial Academy students howled madly. Lin Mengyao’s heart tightened; Liu Yiyi and Aman’s eyes filled with worry. Only Jun Wushuang remained fearless.

"Innate Divine Power: Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire!"
Boom!
Deadly heavenly thunder fused with raging earth fire, transforming into a mass of thunder and fire a hundred meters across, crashing directly into the whirlwind of sword qi. After absorbing the Thunderfire Inferno, this divine power’s strength had increased tenfold. When it collided with the whirlwind, it shattered it outright, the destructive shockwaves causing many weaker cultivators to cough up blood and suffer serious injuries.

"Purple Extreme Demonic Light!"
At the same time, Jun Wushuang activated the Purple Extreme Demon Eyes, launching a beam of demonic light that shattered Ji Feng’s spiritual force, causing him to suffer backlash and sending him tumbling away with a scream.

"Slash!"
Jun Wushuang pressed forward, blade rising and falling, severing Ji Feng’s head.

"Sorry, I guess I’ve ambushed you again!"
Jun Wushuang grinned grimly. Two corpses, their blood staining the ground. Faces pale, eyes wide with terror—another defeat!

Both Zhao Yongde and Ji Feng were Heavenly-level students of the Royal Martial Academy, but before Jun Wushuang, they had no advantage, instead being slain in succession. Was it because Zhao Yongde and Ji Feng were too weak? No! It was because Jun Wushuang was too strong. Though only at the sixth tier of the Divine Sea Realm, whether it was demonic energy, spiritual demonic patterns, martial techniques, or divine powers, he was capable of fighting far above his level.

Previously, Jun Wushuang had relied on the Command of Southern Command, rarely revealing his true strength, so the world did not know how formidable he was. But this time, in a life-and-death duel before the entire city, Jun Wushuang finally bared his fangs, displaying his extraordinary power.

Jiang Taixu’s expression was grim; this turn of events was beyond his expectations. Dongfang Ming and Dongfang Lan also looked grave, never imagining that Jun Wushuang would be this strong.

The four great prodigies and countless students were both shocked and furious. The first time could be blamed on a sneak attack; to say the same after the second defeat would only make them look ridiculous.

"Are these so-called Heavenly-level students of the Royal Martial Academy nothing but trash?"
"Too weak—I barely exerted myself and they fell."
"This Royal Martial Academy is a disappointment."
"Come on, who will be the next to die?"
Jun Wushuang spoke with wild arrogance, his cold gaze fixed on the Royal Martial Academy. Were they not calling him arrogant? Today, he would show them what true arrogance looked like!

His words incited righteous indignation; pairs of bloodshot eyes burned with boundless hatred, glaring at Jun Wushuang.

"Country bumpkin, don’t be so arrogant—I’ll kill you!"
Soon, another Heavenly-level student stepped forward, launching a fierce attack at Jun Wushuang.

Swish!
Without a word, Jun Wushuang slashed with his blade. The opponent’s face changed dramatically, retreating in panic. But it was too late—Jun Wushuang never struck lightly, and when he did, it was always a killing blow. This third-tier Celestial Realm student never had a chance to use his martial skill, falling dead from a single slash. His corpse hit the ground with a thud, anger and shock still in his eyes.

The third Heavenly-level student had been slain!

"Next!"
Jun Wushuang’s blade dripped with blood, his arrogance devilish.

The fourth Heavenly-level student could not resist, charging forward. He was at the fourth tier of the Celestial Realm, immeasurably strong. He attacked with all his might, yet under Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire and a single Shura Slash, he was still no match—his head severed, body and soul parted.

One after another, Heavenly-level students took the stage, giving Jun Wushuang no respite. Yet they underestimated him. No matter who came forth, all were slain without exception.

Corpses piled at Jun Wushuang’s feet, heads stacked high.

At last, Jun Wushuang, with a single blade, achieved eight victories in eight battles.

"Country bumpkin, you deserve to be cut to pieces! Today, not only will I kill you, I will annihilate you body and soul!"

A voice filled with resentment sounded. A familiar figure flew out from the Royal Martial Academy, landing before Jun Wushuang.

The ninth battle: Dongfang Li!
