Chapter 630: The Final Battle Begins! Serpent Fist Showdown!
Chu Yue was ecstatic. "That’s wonderful! My brother can join the Holy Land!" If her brother became a Holy Land Disciple, she too would rise to prominence in the future. The people from the Star Pavilion were equally thrilled, and the Star Pavilion Master shouted in excitement. Their Star Pavilion had produced a Holy Land genius, which brought him great glory. From now on, their Star Pavilion would be the number one power in the Heavenly Dao Academy, its status unrivaled.
While the others were overcome with envy, the Wangyue Pavilion, the Lin Family, and their allies looked distressed. Chu Zhongtian would surely not give up such a golden opportunity. That meant he would likely be ruthless in the upcoming duel. Didn’t that put Lin Xuan in even greater danger? The thought filled them with grave concern.
「In the battlefield,」
Chu Zhongtian was also stunned when he heard the news. Has happiness come too suddenly? He had originally planned only to defeat Lin Xuan and seize his power, then look for an opportunity to join the Holy Land in the future. He never expected the Holy Land to come to him. Although they didn’t specify who they were inviting, it was certainly going to be the victor. As long as he won this duel, he could enter the Holy Land.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful!" he exclaimed. "Heaven itself is helping me!"
Chu Zhongtian roared with laughter. In his mind, winning this duel would be a piece of cake.
On the other side, Lin Xuan was just as excited, because his next goal was also to head to the Holy Land. This was the perfect opportunity. As long as he won this duel, he could enter. At this thought, a sharp light glinted in Lin Xuan’s eyes. In that case, it’s time to show some real skill.
"Alright, I won’t delay the duel any longer. Let’s begin," the Holy Land’s envoy said calmly as he stepped aside.
"I will preside over this duel!" the Emperor announced, stepping forward. He declared in a booming voice, "I now announce the start of the Duel of the Double Dragons!"
At his command, the entire crowd erupted, and countless gazes turned toward the battlefield in the sky.
「In the battlefield,」
Chu Zhongtian said coldly, "I can finish you in one move." What move should I use? "Fine. I’ll use the one you’re most familiar with: the Serpent Fist."
After speaking, Chu Zhongtian raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and threw a punch. His fist transformed into a charging Serpent, causing the void itself to tremble violently.
The surrounding spectators gasped upon seeing this.
"It’s the Serpent Fist!"
"That’s right, it is indeed the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist."
"Their rivalry started because of the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist, didn’t it?"
"Legend says that the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist can only be cultivated by one person, yet they both managed to learn it."
"That’s what led to the current Duel of the Double Dragons."
"Now Chu Zhongtian is using the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist against Lin Xuan. It looks like he wants to finish him for good."
"Will Lin Xuan be defeated by the very fist technique that made him famous?"
"He rose to fame because of the Serpent Fist, and now he’s going to be defeated by it. This is truly the cycle of karma."
The crowd sighed endlessly at the irony.
The people from the Star Pavilion were ecstatic. "Haha, we’ve won!"
Chu Yue laughed heartily. "My brother will definitely kill him in a single blow!"
The Star Pavilion Master declared excitedly, "This battle is over! Chu Zhongtian will soon be able to join the Holy Land!"
The Star Pavilion disciples beside him cheered wildly.
"That kid is doomed," the people from the Celestial King’s Mansion sneered. Although it was just a casual punch from Chu Zhongtian, its power was still terrifying. No one below the Grandmaster realm could withstand it—not even a nine-star Grandmaster. This Lin Xuan was merely a three-star Grandmaster; there was no way he could block it. He would be killed in one blow. The Celestial King smirked, finally able to watch Lin Xuan die with his own eyes.
Master Song was equally thrilled. Keep being arrogant, kid! He wanted to personally witness Lin Xuan’s miserable end. Even the Pill King’s eyes gleamed; after Lin Xuan was defeated, he would make a move to seize the Anomalous Fire from him.
This is bad! The Wangyue Pavilion Master’s face paled. The Lin Family was on the verge of despair. The Sword Casting Manor Master’s heart was in his throat, and the Cyan Dragon Manor Master prepared to intervene at a moment’s notice to save Lin Xuan. The punch was just about to land.
But just then, Lin Xuan made his move. He raised his hand, also forming a fist, and punched forward. He, too, was using the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist.
"What? That kid is actually trying to meet the blow head-on?"
"Is he crazy?"
"Who does he think he is? Does he really believe he can contend with a Grandmaster?"
"Just watch, he’ll be reduced to ash!"
"He’s also using the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist. How ridiculous!"
"How could his Serpent Fist possibly compare to Chu Zhongtian’s?"
Amid the crowd’s disbelieving murmurs, their fists collided. An earth-shattering dragon’s roar echoed across the heavens as a destructive force swept out in all directions. The two fists were locked in a stalemate in mid-air—they were evenly matched!
「Down below.」
The crowd was stunned by the sight. The three major families were stunned. The four great sects were stunned. Master Song was stunned. The Pill King was stunned. The Star Pavilion Master was stunned. Chu Yue was stunned. The Celestial King was stunned. Everyone was absolutely stunned! Witnessing this scene, their minds went completely blank.
Just moments before, they had held no hope for Lin Xuan. In their eyes, he was no match for his opponent and wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow. And yet, Lin Xuan had actually blocked Chu Zhongtian’s attack! It was unbelievable. They had all been thoroughly and utterly proven wrong.
"Heavens, how did he do that?"
"Can Lin Xuan really contend with a Grandmaster?"
The crowd went into a frenzy.
"He blocked it! He actually blocked it!" the Wangyue Pavilion Master exclaimed, jumping to his feet.
The members of the Lin Family breathed a collective sigh of relief, having been on the verge of despair just moments ago. The Cyan Dragon Manor Master also relaxed, his palms drenched in sweat. "Excellent. The Young Master is even stronger than we imagined. This is truly wonderful."
Bai Qianqian said, "Rest assured, Lin Xuan’s strength is far beyond what you can imagine."
Ye Qingwu added, "That’s right. Chu Zhongtian is no match for Junior Brother Lin. Just watch, Junior Brother Lin will be the one to win in the end."
How could this be happening? Chu Yue felt like she was collapsing. How could that kid possibly block her brother’s attack? She couldn’t believe it. The Star Pavilion Master’s eyes were nearly bulging out of their sockets; he couldn’t accept this reality either. Nearby, the Celestial King’s expression was incredibly grim, and the people from the Celestial King’s Mansion were dead silent. They had been completely humiliated.
The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy and the Emperor were also shocked. They had been prepared to intervene at the critical moment to save Lin Xuan’s life, but he had blocked the attack himself. It was incredible! It seemed this young man’s strength was truly beyond their expectations.
The most shocked person of all, of course, was Chu Zhongtian. He had originally thought he could annihilate his opponent with a single punch but never expected this outcome. His expression turned ugly.
Lin Xuan, however, calmly said, "Chu Zhongtian, let me give you a piece of advice: you’d better go all out. My strength is beyond anything you can imagine."
"Don’t get cocky, kid," Chu Zhongtian snorted. "That was just a casual strike. Next, I’ll show you the true power of the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist!"
With a roar, he threw another punch. This time, his fist seemed to transform into a true Serpent. Its power was even more formidable than before, and as it flew forward, it seemed capable of tearing through heaven and earth.
The onlookers gasped, their scalps tingling with fear.
"Is this Chu Zhongtian’s true power?"
"Is this the true might of the Serpent Fist?"
"It’s terrifying!"
"I wonder if Lin Xuan can block it this time?"
Chu Yue gritted her teeth. "He definitely can’t block it."
The Celestial King said coldly, "Chu Zhongtian is serious this time. I refuse to believe Lin Xuan can withstand this!"
"He is bound to be defeated this time!" Master Song spat through clenched teeth.
The hearts of everyone from the Wangyue Pavilion and the Lin Family leaped back into their throats.
"Lin Xuan, dodge! Don’t take that punch head-on! You can’t block it!"
