Silence!
Eerie silence!
Dead silence!
The whole martial arts platform was utterly quiet, the breathing of the crowd clearly audible.
Whether it was the elders from the Nine Great Clans or the elders and disciples of the Burning Heaven Sect, all were stunned into silence by Qinchuan's words.
"I must be hallucinating—I actually heard Great Elder Qinchuan say that Bai You doesn't need to suppress his realm—"
A disciple from the Burning Heaven Sect muttered to himself.
Another disciple, with eyes wide in shock, watched the two people on the platform and whispered, "I must be hallucinating too, I also heard Great Elder Qinchuan say that."
The disciples of the Burning Heaven Sect had vacant looks in their eyes, unable to believe that Qinchuan was actually challenging a cultivator of the Saint Realm with the cultivation level of the ridian Opening Realm.
The various elders were the first to recover from the shock.
"He's too arrogant—"
"This kid is truly seeking death!"
"He's just an insignificant ridian Opening Realm ant, yet he dares to directly challenge soone of the Saint Realm. Isn't this like a moth flying into the fla, seeking its own death? Bai You doesn't possess a Supre Dao Artifact in his hands that would allow this kid to claim ownership. Moreover, even if that kid held a Supre Dao Artifact, he couldn't possibly be a match for a Saint."
The gap between the Saint Realm and the ridian Opening Realm is imnse, like the difference between the clouds and the mud. A Saint need only move a finger, and a ridian Opening Realm cultivator would turn into dust.
The elders from the Nine Great Clans each shook their heads, sighing to themselves.
They were not sighing because Qinchuan was about to lose his life, but because they would no longer be able to gain the points Qinchuan had on him.
Qinchuan's reckless behavior had undoubtedly infuriated Bai You. At this point, not to ntion the elders of the Nine Great Clans persuading him, even if the Sect Master of the Qianxing Sect ca to lecture, Bai You wouldn't show any rcy.
The elders within the Burning Heaven Sect looked at each other in dismay.
Qinchuan had suddenly appeared within the Burning Heaven Sect, and most people knew that Qinchuan's strength was not as weak as they imagined, being only at the ridian Opening Realm. But seeing him now daring to overestimate his own strength, hoping to challenge a Saint, they each shook their heads, "Has Great Elder Qinchuan gone mad?"
Perhaps the only ones who were still sowhat calm were Chi Shan and Second Elder Chi Ren; after all, Qinchuan had previously defeated the much stronger Red Luan with a single move, let alone soone in the later stages of the Saint Realm.
Even Chi Qing and Chi Shui, who knew of Qinchuan's identity, were quite worried at this point, holding their breath, anxiously watching the two figures in the middle of the platform.
Indeed, upon hearing Qinchuan speak those words, Bai You flew into a towering rage.
"You little brat, you're courting death!"
"Since you're so eager to die, this old man will fulfill your wish!"
Having said that, Bai You released his imposing aura in an instant, with the montum of a late-stage Saint surging into the sky. Thick Dao patterns swirled tumultuously, tangible murderous intent filling the surroundings, causing the heavens and earth to abruptly change color.
"Qiankun Suppress!"
Bai You bellowed.
Imdiately, the previously cloudless sky darkened in an instant, as countless swirling apocalypse clouds gathered above the martial arts platform. The clouds surged from all directions, and in a short ti, nurous apocalypse clouds condensed into one expanse of firmant.
Within that firmant, solidified Dao patterns andered, and beneath this sky, Bai You was the master, turning everything in his path to ants.
Without another word, Bai You snorted coldly, "Suppress—"
Then, that expanse of the sky directly pressed down upon Qinchuan's body.
Bai You's attack was his strongest from the outset, not underestimating Qinchuan for being a ridian Opening Realm cultivator.
This move.
Beneath the condensing firmant, Qinchuan seed minuscule, like a boat on a tempest-tossed sea, liable to be crushed into dust at any mont.
The residual might of this move spread outwards, and even though the barrier on the martial arts platform blocked a large portion of it, many disciples below still felt as if the sky was about to collapse upon them, the profound and solid Dao and principles pressing down so heavily that people could hardly catch their breath.
Even so low-level service disciples could not withstand this residual might and vomited blood with a retch.
One could hardly imagine the trendous pressure Qinchuan, who was in the very center of the divine skill, had endured.
Yet Qinchuan still stood upright on the martial arts platform, showing not a trace of fear on his face.
People couldn't help but admire him, for if an ordinary ridian Opening Realm cultivator were in Qinchuan's position at that mont, even if not crushed into a pancake by this powerful oppressive force, they would likely have been pressured into collapsing on the ground.
As they watched that piece of the sky ready to crush Qinchuan, the pressing firmant drew even closer.
The crowd shook their heads, no longer bearing to watch.
The next mont, an unexpected change occurred.
A firm voice from Qinchuan uttered.
"Disperse—"
As the law followed the word, the next mont saw the surging presence of the imminent firmant instantly vanishing as though it were smoke clearing, the threatening clouds dispersed in an instant, with traces when coming but without shadow when leaving, as if disappearing into thin air.
Then Qinchuan moved, suddenly lunging towards Bai You.
With a soft "pff," in a flash, blood spurted out, as the blood-colored spear in Qinchuan's hand effortlessly pierced through Bai You's heart.
Although Bai You did not die imdiately, the life force in his body was rapidly fading.
Looking down in disbelief at the spear that had penetrated his heart, he was full of shock, and after a long ti, he managed to utter a few difficult words, "How...how is this...possible..."
After speaking, the vitality in his body dissipated, and a powerful cultivator of the Saint Realm thus died on the martial arts platform.
Once again, the square fell into a deathly silence.
From the mont Qinchuan dispelled the oppressive firmant to the instant the spear pierced through Bai You, everything happened too quickly, in the blink of an eye, before the crowd could see clearly how Qinchuan moved, Bai You was already dead and his Dao dissolved.
"Am I dreaming?"
"Elder Qinchuan, with the Cultivation Level of ridian Opening Realm, actually killed a Saint!"
A disciple of the Burning Heaven Sect slapped himself with a "snap," and imdiately felt a sharp pain, obviously not in an Illusion Realm.
Now.
Whether it was the Burning Heaven Sect's disciples and elders or the elders from the Nine Great Clans, they were all swept up in astonishnt, their eyes wide and speechless.

A ridian Opening Realm Cultivator had killed a Saint.
Speaking of this, no one would believe it, and they would think you were a madman.
But now.
It actually happened right before everyone's eyes.
What made the elders feel even more chilling was that they clearly saw Qinchuan's movent.
Qinchuan, holding a long spear without any fancy moves, advanced in just a few steps, and just like that, he thrust the spear into Elder Bai You's body.
Qinchuan's speed was indeed fast, but not yet to the point where he couldn't be dodged.
Yet Bai You, as if trapped in an illusion, stood there motionless, neither dodging nor attempting to block, letting Qinchuan kill him just like that.
The crowd, however, did not know that Qinchuan, in repelling the oppressive firmant just then, had already unknowingly employed the power of the formations of the Minor Zhoutian Starry Sky Formation.
Under the formation, the invisible power of Heavenly Dao pinned Bai You down; although he wanted to dodge, his limbs could not make any movent, and he could only watch helplessly as Qinchuan killed him.
With one thrust of his spear, Qinchuan sent Bai You flying, standing with his spear horizontal, his body emanating a terrifying murderous aura, the tangible bloodthirst filling the entire martial arts platform, as if a god of slaughter had been reborn.
Qinchuan's indifferent gaze swept over the elders of the Nine Great Clans, his eyes domineering and distant as he spoke lightly, "Who else wishes to challenge ? Step forward!"
