Chapter 2699: An Unexpected Triumph
"Good!" The Immortal Venerable shouted, sneering, "Su, now it seems, you are indeed a true man. So be it, I accept the challenge. No matter the outcome, the grievances between us will be wiped clean!"
Su Yang slowly nodded, "Immortal Venerable, those words have the demeanor of a great figure!"
"Hahaha..." The Immortal Venerable laughed heartily and flew up into the air, "If I can’t defeat you within ten breaths, I lose!"
Su Yang also ascended into the air, but he didn’t say a word. Because his situation was quite awkward, given the disparity in their realms, the Immortal Venerable really might defeat him within ten breaths.
The Immortal Venerable could become one of the three leaders of ancient times, which shows the strength of his power. Before the Ancient Three Strong emerged, they were already among the most powerful in ancient times.
Although Su Yang could stir up so much trouble in the Immortal Palace, those he assassinated were the weakest within the palace. The true powerhouses had gone to the First Divine Palace, which Su Yang couldn’t reach.
And this Immortal Venerable, though not the First God, was not much weaker than the true powerhouses in the Immortal Palace. The disparity between the two was truly vast!
Nonetheless, at this point, Su Yang could only brace himself. This was the Human Emperor’s fight for him; if he lost, he would go back to settle accounts with the Human Emperor later!
Seeing Su Yang fly over, the Immortal Venerable immediately attacked.
But as the Immortal Venerable struck, he suddenly felt something amiss. Power surged inside him, yet once released, it weakened rapidly. The force at the peak of Earth-level transformed into a basic Earth-level power.
Originally, Su Yang thought the Immortal Venerable’s strike would be terrifying and defended with all his might. Who knew, upon contact, Su Yang felt the power was very weak, completely lacking the peak Earth-level feel.
In fact, the power with which Su Yang countered far exceeded that of the Immortal Venerable’s strike. Thus, Su Yang not only scattered the Immortal Venerable’s force but also his remaining power directly hit the Immortal Venerable.
The Immortal Venerable never anticipated such a situation and got knocked back, almost falling to the ground.
The onlookers were all in an uproar. With just one strike, the Immortal Venerable was defeated?
Su Yang was stunned; what was going on here? What happened?
The Immortal Venerable was also taken aback and shouted after a while, "Impossible! Impossible!"
Roaring, the Immortal Venerable took flight again and charged at Su Yang with full force.
Su Yang dared not be careless, quickly retaliating. After dozens of clashes, the Immortal Venerable was defeated by Su Yang again.
This time, the crowd burst into chaos. This result was completely unexpected!
What was going on? The Immortal Venerable of such power couldn’t defeat Su Yang?
"What’s happening? What’s happening?" The Immortal Venerable stood on the ground, his face full of bewilderment, completely unable to understand the situation.
The Eternal Divine Emperor, full of joy, spoke loudly, "What do you mean what’s happening? You’ve lost, don’t you understand?"
"Impossible! Impossible! How could I lose? How could I lose to this kid?" The Immortal Venerable shouted.
"Lost is lost, why argue?" The Eternal Divine Emperor spoke loudly, "Immortal Venerable, are you trying to deny it?"
"I... There’s definitely something wrong with this match..." The Immortal Venerable said anxiously.
"Even if there’s an issue, it’s your own business!" An ancient strong figure said coldly.
The Immortal Venerable wanted to retort, but others also began speaking, making the Immortal Venerable’s face turn blue with anger. Looking at the situation, he knew that no matter what he said, it was useless. He lost, meaning he completely lost this opportunity, and no one would speak for him.
"With this battle, Su Yang wins!" An ancient strong figure announced loudly.
No one spoke, and everyone looked at Su Yang in the sky with doubt. The situation was truly hard to comprehend.
Su Yang was also bewildered, but the Human Emperor’s voice came again, "Keep fighting, challenge the Nine-headed Demon Yuan!"
Su Yang was stunned, fight again?
"Don’t be dazed, fight quickly. We’ve joined forces to suppress this area; their powers, once leaving their bodies, will be suppressed to basic Earth-level. But this won’t last long, you must act swiftly!"
Su Yang was suddenly enlightened, finally understanding what was going on. So that was the reason! No wonder the Human Emperor asked him to fight; this was an assured victory, at basic Earth-level, who could be his match?
"Nine-headed Demon Yuan, do you dare fight me?" Su Yang immediately shouted, seizing the rare opportunity to act.
Nine-headed Demon Yuan was taken aback, also bewildered, not understanding how the Immortal Venerable lost. Who could have thought, before he could comprehend, Su Yang challenged him.
Looking at the Immortal Venerable, Nine-headed Demon Yuan was hesitant. His strength was comparable to the Immortal Venerable; if the Immortal Venerable lost, how could he fare any better?
"Su Alliance Leader, you’ve already fought a match; how can I take advantage of you?" Nine-headed Demon Yuan said with a smile, "How about you rest..."
"No need!" Su Yang directly said, "Just say whether you want to fight or forfeit!"
"You..." Nine-headed Demon Yuan was furious; this was too bullying.
Su Yang, however, paid him no mind. The Nine-headed Demon Yuan had plotted against him earlier, and now Su Yang wouldn’t be polite with him.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Nine-headed Demon Yuan gritted his teeth and flew out. Although uneasy inside, directly conceding was definitely not an option!
Everyone widened their eyes at Su Yang. The Immortal Venerable’s loss was too strange, and none had deciphered the reason. This battle, everyone wanted to see what exactly was going on.
Nine-headed Demon Yuan also clenched his teeth, pondering over the situation but believing it was the Immortal Venerable’s problem. Thus, he resolved that this time, no matter what, he must swiftly defeat Su Yang, lest any accident occur!
But the reality differed completely from Nine-headed Demon Yuan’s thoughts. Once the battle commenced, Nine-headed Demon Yuan sensed something awry. And soon into the fight, Nine-headed Demon Yuan followed the same path as the Immortal Venerable, being defeated and knocked to the ground by Su Yang!
This time, the whole arena erupted, leaving everyone bewildered.
The Immortal Venerable losing was his own issue. But now that Nine-headed Demon Yuan also lost, what was the problem?
