Chapter 2242: Chapter 2242
"Isn't it obvious?" said a man from the Asura Clan, proudly wearing a crown, "Su Yang is merely a Pseudo Saint, how can he compare with a true Saint? This battle is just helping Tu Yuan to hone his skills!"
"Really? Asura King, you're way too confident in Tu Yuan, aren't you?" said a monkey from the Demon Clan, cocking an eyebrow while holding an iron rod, "Tu Yuan has only advanced to the Saint Realm for a hundred years. Even if he can sense the Saint's Heart, how much can he truly feel? But Su Yang possesses extraordinary perseverance. As the fight continues, the outcome is hard to predict. If Tu Yuan loses, wouldn't that be humiliating?"
"Qi Tian, why don't we make a wager?" said the Asura King fiercely, "If Tu Yuan wins, what will you do?"
The monkey became angry at once and shouted back, "Alright, let's bet! If Tu Yuan wins, I won't enter the Human World nor take this Divine Artifact. But if Tu Yuan loses, what will you do?"
"Tu Yuan will not lose!" the Asura King retorted coldly.
"If Tu Yuan loses, then the Asura King should stop pursuing this Divine Artifact, how about that?" suggested the Feather Realm Saint with a sudden grin.
The Asura King frowned; the Asura Clan only had two Saints. If Tu Yuan lost, and they stopped aiming for this Divine Artifact, it would be tantamount to completely giving it up!
"What's the matter, Asura King? Are you silent because you fear Tu Yuan might actually lose?" the Ghost Realm Saint suddenly chuckled.
"Nonsense!" the Asura King responded coldly, "Tu Yuan will not lose!"
"Do you dare bet on that?" the Feather Realm Saint challenged with a smile.
The Asura King clenched his teeth and replied sternly, "Why wouldn't I dare? This is a sure-win bet, what's there to worry about?"
Everyone nodded while smiling, "The Asura King indeed has spirit!"
In fact, many people were secretly amused.
This bet was really between the Asura King and the monkey, unrelated to them. But with everyone's involvement, the matter became intriguing.
This time, regardless of who wins, one Saint will automatically withdraw from competing for the Divine Artifact.
There are too many eager for this Divine Artifact in the Eight Realms; having one withdraw could alleviate the pressure on others!
The battle continued relentlessly, Tu Yuan clearly enraged, grabbing surrounding stars in a frenzy, launching a full-force assault on Su Yang.
Su Yang was also unyielding, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword to slash stars, using the powerful Secret Technique from the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book to the utmost, repeatedly striking back.
For half a month, the battle persisted until Tu Yuan fell slightly short, being split in two by a single strike from Su Yang.
Such a scenario left all the surrounding Saints in shock.
Even the monkey didn't expect Su Yang to actually emerge victorious in this battle.
It was known that Su Yang relied on borrowed power; he couldn't sense the Saint's Heart, his control over the Power of Saint was far from Tu Yuan's.
After all, Tu Yuan was a genuine Saint, how could he possibly lose to Su Yang?
What people didn't realize is Su Yang's Secret Technique came from the Demon Abyss. The entity in the Demon Abyss left behind a Secret Technique, which was far from simple. It was undoubtedly the most powerful Secret Technique in this Endless Universe!
Though Tu Yuan's mastery of power exceeded Su Yang's, his Secret Technique and strength weren't as formidable.
Human Emperor Xuanyuan, among Saints, was also a standout. Even with only eighty percent of his power, he was undoubtedly superior to Tu Yuan!
In such circumstances, with overwhelming power and a strong Secret Technique, Tu Yuan's advantages naturally vanished.
This was also due to Su Yang's insufficient control over power; otherwise, that strike earlier could have completely incapacitated Tu Yuan in battle!
Even so, Tu Yuan suffered significant injury. He fled frantically into the distance, rapidly fusing his body. Staring at Su Yang from afar, fury blazed in his eyes, his anger reaching its peak.
Before so many Saints, to be defeated by a Pseudo Saint, he felt utterly humiliated!
"Su Yang, I will fight you to the death!" Tu Yuan roared.
At this moment, the monkey turned to the Asura King, "Hey, Asura King, what's your clan implying? Lost and still planning to fight?"
"Who said we lost!" The Asura King's expression was grim, he spat angrily, "In a life and death battle, only the one still alive at the end is considered the victor. Neither of them is dead yet, so why say we lost?"
The monkey's eyes widened instantly, "Hey, are you trying to renege?"
"Do I, the Asura King, need to cheat?" The Asura King shouted angrily, "Since it's a life and death battle, naturally, the outcome depends on who lives and who dies. Without a resolution in life and death, why talk nonsense?"
"Life and death resolution?" another Saint from the Demon Clan remarked coldly, "Are you not worried about Tu Yuan dying here?"
"A Saint, how could he get slain by a mere mortal!" barked the Asura King, "Do these remarks have any sense? How can a Saint die?"
"If that's what you say, isn't your bet for sure to win?" the monkey sneered, "Asura King, you're truly shameless!"
The Asura King ignored the monkey, his anger reaching extremes; he was completely blustering with a brazen face.
"Since the Asura King is so confident, let's keep watching then!" the Feather Clan Saint suggested with a smile, "However, Asura King, what will you do if Tu Yuan actually gets killed later?"
"Tu Yuan will not die!" the Asura King shouted furiously, his aura like an incensed bull.
"Fine, fine, Tu Yuan won't die, Tu Yuan won't die…" The Feather Clan Saint sneered, suddenly speaking coldly, "But let me add this. Since the Asura King says it's a life and death battle, then whoever lives or dies later, others should not interfere!"
Everyone nodded unanimously, "That's only natural!"
The Asura King frowned in silence, knowing these remarks targeted him. Yet he didn't care; Saints, how could they be slain by a Pseudo Saint?
Having suffered greatly, Tu Yuan was now utterly enraged, no longer conserving any strength, attacking Su Yang with full might in a frenzy.
Su Yang was equally unyielding, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, wielding the Power of Saint, using Secret Techniques from the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, clashing fiercely with Tu Yuan.
The battle escalated in intensity, both fighters risking their lives.
Clearly, after Tu Yuan's desperate effort, his prowess surged, striking Su Yang multiple times.
However, Su Yang's resilience was beyond measure; despite severe blows causing immense pain, he remained unscathed.
On the other hand, Su Yang's Xuanyuan Sword could inflict harm on Tu Yuan.
As a result, this battle turned into Tu Yuan being battered one-sidedly.
After another day of fighting, Tu Yuan's body was once again split apart by Su Yang.
At this point, Tu Yuan's energy was greatly depleted, his body recuperating much more slowly.
