Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation - Chapter 554

Chapter 554: Chapter 295: Demonic Ape Bloodline, Heartless Blade_2

She was not one for competition, and if it were not for the strong insistence from her elders in the clan, she would not have participated in the Heavenly Pride Convention in the first place.

Xiao Yun, Ye Xingxuan, and the others watched the intense battle on stage with a glimmer of fighting spirit in their eyes.

As time passed, the fluctuations on the stage became increasingly violent, and it was clear that the battle was heating up and reaching a decisive outcome.

Boom!

After a powerful collision, specks of blood stained Hu Mengqing’s body.

Xiahou Ying was also in bad condition, her mouth stained with blood.

“This guy is really hard to deal with…” Xiahou Ying became impatient and immediately stimulated the Demonic Ape bloodline in her body.

In an instant, a shocking surge of blood energy soared into the sky.

A towering and muscular giant ape appeared intermittently behind Xiahou Ying.

“Demonic Ape Bloodline…”

A sharp glint flashed across Hu Xiu’s eyes.

Those in the imperial upper echelons and the super aristocratic families knew that the Demonic Ape bloodline was part of the Xiahou Clan’s inheritance.

Although the Demonic Ape bloodline was originally a terrifying power, it had significant side effects.

Once activated, one would completely lose their sanity, as well as cause great harm to their potential and physical body.

However, after the arrival of the First Generation Primordial Emperor, he resolved the Xiahou Clan’s hidden dangers in their bloodline inheritance, allowing it to become truly perfected and elevating the Xiahou Family from being a top-notch family to one of the super families in the Central Province.

The current patriarch of the Xiahou Clan, Xiahou Shu, was now one of the top combatants in Morigin and the commander of the Demon Suppression Army.

“Hu Mengqing, you’ve forced me to use the Demonic Ape bloodline – even in defeat, you have achieved glory.” Xiahou Ying’s eyes looked down at Hu Mengqing with a proud and condescending gaze.

“The outcome isn’t certain until the end!” Hu Mengqing’s eyes were cold as he unleashed his final divine ability.

“Limitless Heavenly Sword!”

Hu Mengqing’s entire body surged with countless sword Qi, condensing into a hundred feet of destructive sword light that sliced through the void rift and slashed down at Xiahou Ying.

“Truly ignorant!”

Xiahou Ying stimulated the Demonic Ape bloodline to its extreme, her aura suddenly doubling in intensity. Terrifying power and extensive laws converged upon her long saber, which she then swung down.

A saber Qi, filled with the aura of annihilation and domineering power, seemed capable of severing everything in the world.

Boom!

The Limitless Heavenly Sword’s light was directly split apart by the saber Qi, and Hu Mengqing was blasted back by the powerful impact, spewing out a mouthful of blood.

Finally, it was a Celestial Human who stepped in to block the saber Qi, saving Hu Mengqing in time.

“Haha, Hu Mengqing, it seems the Celestial Strategy Army commander’s position is mine, as well as Princess Ruoxi.” Xiahou Ying laughed arrogantly.

“Hmph, this big brute…” Chu Ruoxi was furious, her chest trembling as she clenched her small fists.

Looking at the towering Xiahou Ying, she felt that even if Hu Mengqing, the notorious playboy, won the championship, it would be better than this big brute.

She then looked at Nangong Xue, secretly thinking, “Nangong Xue, don’t let me down!”

On the other side, Hu Mengqing, who had been knocked off the stage, trembled slightly, bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, he had to admit that Xiahou Ying, who had activated the Demonic Ape bloodline, was extremely difficult to defeat, as if she had cheated.

“Who else dares to challenge my title? Come forth and fight.”

As they looked at the awe-inspiring Xiahou Ying, the Heavenly Pride participants in the audience couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread.

Deng Wuqing, Xiao Yun, Gao Yingqian, and Qin Yi all had the urge to try their luck.

However, they were here to snatch the championship and did not want to reveal their strengths too early. It was not too late to take action after understanding the strength of others.

Seeing that no one stepped forward for the time being, Xiahou Ying’s posture became even more arrogant. She turned her head to look at the Yuan Emperor and said, “Your Majesty, if no one comes forward, then I will be the champion of this Heavenly Pride Convention.”

The Yuan Emperor nodded, “If no one steps onto the stage within ten breaths, the championship will be Xiahou Ying’s.”

Chu Ruoxi’s face turned pale, and her hands clenched tightly.

As far as she was concerned, any one of Deng Wuqing, Xiao Yun, Gao Yingqian, or Qin Yi would be a better champion than Xiahou Ying.

In her view, Xiahou Ying was simply too bulky, completely unlike her ideal husband.

Just as Xiahou Ying was reveling in her triumph and thought she had everything set, a voice filled with indifference resounded.

“Demonic Ape bloodline, not a bad stepping stone.”

“Hmm?” Xiahou Ying’s brow furrowed as her gaze fell on a young man.

The young man folded his hands behind his back and gently moved, appearing on the stage. He looked at Xiahou Ying with an air of condescension, as if he were looking at a weakling.

His appearance caused astonishment among the audience.

“Who is this guy? He seems even cockier than Xiahou Ying.”

“Interesting, is Dugu Jue going to take action?”

Among them, some naturally recognized the young man on the stage.

That’s right, this person is Dugu Jue. His performance on the Heavenly Pride Stele was even better than Ye Xingyun, only below Nangong Xue.

“Dugu Jue?” Chu Ruoxi looked at Dugu Jue and felt that he was very cold, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

If not for that cold temperament on him, his various aspects would indeed be much stronger than Xiahou Ying.

Especially in terms of appearance.

“Dugu Jue, although you outperformed me at the Heavenly Pride Stele, when it comes to strength, you are nothing.” Xiahou Ying slightly raised her eyebrows.

Looking at Dugu Jue standing at the other end of the battlefield, dressed in black with unrivaled looks and a lonely temperament, Xiahou Ying felt inexplicably annoyed.

Too damn arrogant, even more arrogant than himself.

“If you don’t want to lose too embarrassingly, use your full strength. Otherwise, you won’t last three moves against me.”

A single sentence fell, and the whole field was silent.

This was truly too arrogant.

Xiahou Ying, even without using the power of her Demonic Ape bloodline, was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, possessing extraordinary strength.

Dugu Jue actually claimed that she wouldn’t last three moves against him.

If this wasn’t due to immense confidence in one’s own strength, it would be extreme arrogance and conceit.

“What an arrogant madman.” Xiao Qingyu said coldly.

“No, perhaps he’s telling the truth.” Xiao Yun, who was by her side, shook his head slightly.

Ye Xingyun’s eyes, on the other hand, flashed with astonishment and amazement.

“Dugu Jue, you…” Xiahou Ying’s anger erupted, as Dugu Jue’s words clearly showed disdain for her.

Immediately, she could no longer bear it and attacked directly. The huge Demonic Ape phantom behind her emerged, as her terrifyingly mountain-like power and vast, abyss-like laws infused the treasured saber, unleashing an incredibly powerful strike towards Dugu Jue.

She was the Heavenly Pride of Central Province, the daughter of Army Commander Xiahou Shu of the Demon Suppression Army, and a prestigious person among her peers. How could she endure Dugu Jue’s contemptuous gaze?

Dugu Jue’s expression was indifferent, his eyes extremely calm. His right hand gently reached out, and a treasured saber emitting a heavy aura appeared in his hand.

The moment the treasured saber was unsheathed, a Saber Intent filled with disdain for the living burst forth.

Within that Saber Intent, Xiahou Ying could only feel her anger vanishing instantly, as if all her emotions were being stripped away, leaving behind only loneliness and desolation.

Clang!

A peerless saber light annihilated all emotions in the world, leaving only endless loneliness and desolation to survive.

Rumble!

Such a terrifying strike fell, bringing about a dramatic scene as if the sky was being cut down and all living things were being obliterated.

Bang!

The Demonic Ape phantom behind Xiahou Ying disappeared, and she herself was struck flying backward and fell to the ground from the stage.

For a while, there was complete silence in the audience.

The Heavenly Prides in attendance and the seated guests all stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Using the power of the Demonic Ape bloodline, Xiahou Ying could easily suppress Hu Mengqing.

But now, she was defeated by Dugu Jue with just a single strike.

This…

For a time, all the Heavenly Prides present had shock and awe in their eyes.

Even Ye Xingyun’s fighting spirit was wavering at this time.

Could he really be a match for such a terrifying Dugu Jue?

He thought that, with his current strength, even if he couldn’t compare to Wuchen from Origin Martial Academy, he should have no problem standing out among the Heavenly Prides at this Heavenly Pride Convention.

However, it didn’t seem that simple now.

Morigin’s Heavenly Prides and monsters weren’t limited to just the few in the open.

“This guy…” Xiao Yun’s expression was extremely serious, even though he was known as the most stunning Heavenly Pride in the Xiao Family for a thousand years.

At this moment, facing Dugu Jue, a peer of his age, he had an inexplicable sense of trepidation.

The other Heavenly Prides were also shocked and in awe.

On the viewing platform, Chu Ruoxi looked at this scene with complicated feelings.

There was a sense of relief, but also surprise. However, the current Dugu Jue made her feel even more disgusted.

Xiahou Ying was just a big hulk, but at least she was rather normal.

As for Dugu Jue, he was completely like a block of ice, heartlessly cold, making people feel chilly just by looking at him from afar.
