Chapter 248 You, Lost!
Chapter 248 You, Lost!
```
"This is just the beginning!"
A brilliant smile appeared on Xiao Yi's face as he grinned and said.
His voice wasn't loud, yet it echoed in the ears of everyone in the Heaven Character Pavilion.
Accompanied by that hint of vivid red at the corner of his mouth, it gave off a chilling sensation.
In a trance...
It was as if on a battlefield littered with corpses, a general standing alone with a bloodstained battle flag in hand, proudly standing between heaven and earth, faced tens of thousands of enemies without a hint of retreat.
One man holds the pass, ten thousand men can't break through!
"You are indeed very strong, but after all, your cultivation is too weak. Just at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, being able to come this far, you are already comparable to Xiao Tianjiao," Xue Wuhen spoke indifferently, the blood-colored sword light in his hand humming and pulsating.
If the sword light moved forward just a tad more, it would be able to pierce through Xiao Yi's heart.
In the VIP room.
Xiao Zhengde's voice came through: "Xue Wuhen, what are you hesitating for?"
His voice was somewhat impatient, and even more so furious.
One move had passed.
Xiao Yi had lost.
As long as he took one more step and killed him, then the record of his beloved son, Xiao Tianjiao, would not be tied, much less broken.
Xue Wuhen frowned, staring at Xiao Yi and said in a deep voice, "Little guy, I'm sorry. The benefits promised by Xiao Zhengde are simply too tempting. I can only say sorry to you! But don't worry, I won't let anyone harm your corpse..."
Xiao Yi grinned and replied, "Thanks in advance!"
Based on his understanding of Xiao Zhengde.
Once he died, it was very possible that Xiao Zhengde would indeed claim his body to torment him in various ways.
To not even let him rest in peace after death!
This was a person verging on madness!
To protect Xiao Tianjiao, Xiao Zhengde could carry out acts of insanity that people couldn't comprehend.
For example...
Imprisoning his own flesh and blood for eight years.
And for example...
To arrange a mate for Xiao Tianjiao's mount, he sent his own son to a remote place to become a son-in-law, even going as far as removing his name from the family register.
Such actions, for a father, were terrifying and mad to the extreme.
However.
None of that mattered anymore.
Today's Xiao Yi was no longer someone who could be manipulated at will!
"When I break your precious son's record and unmask myself, I wonder what your expression will be? My dear father..." Xiao Yi's eyes flashed coldly as he watched the longsword in Xue Wuhen's hand thrust towards his chest.
A blood-red light had completely enveloped his body.
Blood Explosion Skill!
The fifth level!
Immediately burning fifty percent of his blood, a loud boom resounded, and the blood-red light around his body surged.
Endless blood light converged into a suit of blood-colored armor. With a clang, the longsword in Xue Wuhen's hand was forcefully blocked by the blood-colored armor, unable to advance any further, let alone shatter his heart.
"What?"
Xue Wuhen's expression changed drastically.
His left hand simultaneously placed itself on the hilt of the sword, pushing forward continually.
But no matter how hard he tried, the blade just wouldn't advance an inch further!
At that moment, Xiao Yi's strength and speed, both enhanced fivefold by the Blood Explosion Skill, exceeded Xue Wuhen's.
Relying on his Wind Thunder Holy Body, the power of becoming a god, and his Limitless Golden Elixir, he already possessed the power to contend with the peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm. Now with all aspects of his power quintupled, he had surpassed Xue Wuhen.
Clang!
Xiao Yi reached out abruptly with his right hand, gripping the blade of Xue Wuhen's Blood Mang Sword.
As two blood-colored lights collided, a series of terrifying spatial ripples burst forth, followed by raging winds that swept out in all directions. Amid those raging winds, Xiao Yi's left hand slapped the ground.
Boom!
```
The ground cracked open, and as dust flew about, Xiao Yi leaped into the air.
In the midst of his ascension,
Xiao Yi grabbed hold of the Blood Mang Sword and yanked it back, "Let go!"
Whoosh!
Propelled by a brutal force, the Blood Mang Sword shot out of hand, tearing apart the palms of Xue Wuhen, with blood spurting wildly, as the crimson glow surged madly from Xiao Yi's body.
It turned into a massive blood-red hand, extending over ten meters, and with a loud bang, it grasped the ground.
The ground burst open.
The blood-red hand, like a dog's paw, firmly grasped the ground, simultaneously pulling back Xiao Yi's form, shooting toward the back of Xue Wuhen like an arrow released from its string. Xue Wuhen's face changed abruptly, the loss of the Blood Mang Sword causing a momentary lapse in concentration.
At that moment, he snapped back to reality as a piercing whoosh sounded from behind him.
The battle-hardened Xue Wuhen let out a cold snort without turning his head, and thrust his hands backward, "Blood Demon Great Palm Imprint!"
Hum!
Amidst the sea of blood light, a cold and blood-colored hand emerged in the void, only to be shattered by Xiao Yi with a loud bang.
Taking advantage of this split second,
Xue Wuhen lunged forward, avoiding by tens of meters.
Almost simultaneously…
Xiao Yi landed with a thunderous noise where Xue Wuhen had been standing, the ground beneath exploding and cracks spreading out in all directions, with large chunks of stone and soil jutting out. Amidst the rolling dust, Xiao Yi abruptly pulled back and propelled himself away.
In the moment of his evasion,
Xue Wuhen's counterattack was already on its way.
This was a sea of blood, spreading across the ground, just shy of engulfing Xiao Yi.
"Blood Sea Purgatory!"
Xue Wuhen spat out a mouthful of vital blood, merging it into the torrent of crimson.
The blood fervently expanded.
Ten meters.
Fifty meters.

In the blink of an eye…
The entire dueling ground was covered in a layer of bright red, forcing Xiao Yi to hover above, while Xue Wuhen stood smugly atop the blood sea, "Blood Demon Devouring God!"
Crash!
Waves of blood surged monstrously, towering tens of meters high.
Like a colossal wall of blood.
Blood-colored hands emerged from the waves, clawing and reaching frantically toward Xiao Yi.
These waters were intensely corrosive and paralytic.
The moment one came into contact,
Even a mere touch to the skin would instantly corrode it, paralyze the entire body, depriving one of the strength to fight again. Xiao Yi had witnessed such tactics firsthand when facing Xue Mantian.
Though the moves differed, their effects were strikingly similar.
"The power of Wind Thunder, eradicate all!"
Xiao Yi shook all over.
Unleashing the power of the Wind Thunder Holy Body, a blend of azure winds and purple-gold lightning enveloped him like a net of electricity. His speed surged, and he blasted through the massive blood waves with a thunderous roar.
The force of thunder was inherently overpowering.
With the added annihilating force of the raging wind, it was even more terrifying!
Hisss!
Xiao Yi tore through the blood wave, and at the same time, his gaze landed on the figure that had appeared before him.
Xiao Yi's lips curved into a smirk as he threw a punch at the astonished face of Xue Wuhen.
Thud!
Amid a resounding noise as loud as evening drums and morning bells, Xue Wuhen screamed in agony, flying backward like a kite with its string cut.
With a loud crash,
Xue Wuhen hit the ground, and just as he attempted to rise, he saw a cold and blood-colored edge already resting upon his throat, accompanied by Xiao Yi's indifferent voice, "You've lost!"
