Everyone couldn't help but marvel at Mu Jinyu's good fortune!
At this moment, Mu Jinyu was inside the Bi Fang Cauldron. Because he had barely mastered it, he was able to see outside as well.
Seeing the situation on the combat platform, he felt grateful that he had hidden inside the Bi Fang Cauldron in time. Otherwise, surrendering would have been his only option!
"Hmph!!"
Seeing Mu Jinyu hide like a turtle, Dao Wuming snorted coldly, and the terrifying aura burst forth again!
Then, the Nameless Sword in his hand once again shone with a brilliant blood-red light!
"Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains!"
Dao Wuming roared angrily and unleashed the ultimate move of the Blood Dance Sword Technique, "Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains"!
In an instant, an indescribable, horrifying killing intent flooded this world, overwhelming everything.
Not just the ten-zhang combat platform, but the entire Blood Sword Sect was enveloped!
The blood-red sword light shone on the lands and rivers of Blood Sword Sect, making everyone present feel as if they were looking at a landscape filled with corpses, with blood flowing like rivers!
"Come, sword!"
Dao Wuming's eyes were filled with fierce killing intent, and he shouted angrily!
This voice, filled with endless murderous intent, seemed to carry the force of a thousand troops charging over heaps of bones.
The dozens of disciples near the combat platform were instantly shaken by Dao Wuming's shout, bleeding from the seven orifices and fainting.
This caused a commotion, and everyone retreated further!
As Dao Wuming roared, a ten-meter-long blood-red sword slowly condensed in the sky and appeared before everyone.
With piercing eyes, Dao Wuming pushed his Sword Intent to the limit, leapt a hundred meters high, and landed steadily on the hilt of the blood-red sword, then stomped down sharply.
"Swoosh!"
The sword light flickered, blood-red light burst forth, and under Dao Wuming's urging, the blood-red sword slashed down forcefully toward the Bi Fang Cauldron on the combat platform!
At that moment, the plaza in everyone's eyes was completely a world of blood-red!
All other colors were gone.
Everyone felt the power of this "Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains" move, and their souls trembled, as if they would be split in half by Dao Wuming's sword at any moment.
This feeling was unforgettable for them!
With a pale face, Xie Chenkun gazed at the blood-red world before him, his eyes filled with confusion.
He asked himself, if he were on that combat platform now, could he withstand Dao Wuming's move?
Although Xie Chenkun didn't want to admit it, he knew that facing this unparalleled sword from Dao Wuming, he most likely... couldn't withstand it!
With a pale face, Jian Ruyan subconsciously covered her mouth to avoid crying out, lest she distract Mu Jinyu.
She was very anxious, unsure if the top-quality spiritual treasure Bi Fang Cauldron could withstand Dao Wuming's ultimate sword.
Not only Jian Ruyan had this doubt; everyone present was excitedly guessing.
Inside the Bi Fang Cauldron, Mu Jinyu wasn't guessing or excited about seeing such a fight.
He thought, if the Bi Fang Cauldron couldn't withstand Dao Wuming's sword, could his Life Source Energy save his life?
If not...
His gaze shifted to the Sacred Wood Essence extracted from the Sacred Wood Branch inside the Bi Fang Cauldron.
With this Sacred Wood Essence, his life should be safe, right?
"No, I can't pin all my hopes on this!"
Mu Jinyu's eyes were determined. He then bit his teeth and patted his chest, spraying several more mouthfuls of essence blood.
He wanted to refine the Bi Fang Cauldron more during the battle, gaining more control and using the defensive prohibitions of the cauldron more effectively, thus increasing his chances of winning!
"Boom!!"
As Mu Jinyu desperately refined the Bi Fang Cauldron, Dao Wuming finally brought the blood-red longsword crashing down from the sky, striking the now-quiet Bi Fang Cauldron on the combat platform!
"Rumble!!"
As soon as the Blood Sword's tip touched the combat platform, the platform, made of Azure Profound Stone and resistant to damage even by ninth-layer Divine Transformation Realm experts, collapsed instantly.
With the collapse of the platform, endless giant cracks spread like a spider web from the center, the Bi Fang Cauldron, in all directions!
In an instant, they expanded to cover the entire kilometer-wide plaza!
The destructive power of this battle was far greater than when Di Shitian used the Bi Fang Cauldron recklessly before!
Luckily, everyone had experienced the Bi Fang Cauldron going out of control during the previous battle between Di Shitian and Mu Jinyu, so they had stayed far away this time. Seeing Dao Wuming use "Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains", they moved even further away early on.
As a result, no one was affected or injured this time!
"Ugh!"
"Spurt!!"
While the spectators were unharmed, Mu Jinyu at the center of the battle suffered greatly!
Inside the Bi Fang Cauldron, he had to withstand Dao Wuming's ultimate move head-on. Luckily, the Bi Fang Cauldron wasn't shattered, but the powerful counterforce made him vomit copious blood.
The counterforce also caused his tendons to snap, his bones to break, and his organs to be damaged.
In that moment, even the Life Source Energy that had saved him multiple times couldn't heal him in time, almost causing his immediate death!
Fortunately, the mystical little tree in his Sea of Consciousness steadied his soul, preventing him from fainting and losing consciousness.
This gave him enough time to use a drop of Sacred Wood Essence, stabilize his injuries, and ultimately save his life!
"Boom!!"
Standing on a mountain peak, Jian Ruyan, along with Yun Ge and the others, looked down at the smoky plaza. Their divine senses swept over, but they couldn't see the situation clearly due to unknown interference.
Xie Chenkun and Zhou Taiping were also very anxious, eager to know what had happened.
Seeing that no more fighting was taking place, they used their great divine powers to summon a gust of wind to disperse the thick dust.
They finally revealed the scene of the ruined battlefield.
The ten combat platforms and spectator areas were so destroyed that even traces of them couldn't be seen.
Scanning the area, they saw the intact Bi Fang Cauldron at the center and, not far away, Dao Wuming, kneeling on one knee, supporting himself with his sword, looking battered and exhausted.
"Who won?"
Seeing this, everyone was unsure if Mu Jinyu or Dao Wuming had won.
Even though the Bi Fang Cauldron was unharmed, being a top-quality spiritual treasure meant it wouldn't easily be damaged, but that didn't apply to Mu Jinyu inside.
It's like an assassin stabbing with a silver needle; the clothes remain unscathed, but the person would surely die if stabbed in the heart.
"Go check it out!"
Zhou Taiping's expression changed a few times. He then suggested going to check on Mu Jinyu in the Bi Fang Cauldron.
Worried that Mu Jinyu might still be alive and fearing Zhou Taiping would harm him, Xie Chenkun also rushed over!
"Boom!"
At this moment.
Suddenly, the Bi Fang Cauldron, which had been quietly sitting in the deep pit, shot up and crashed directly towards the exhausted Dao Wuming, kneeling on one knee!
"Bang!"
Dao Wuming, too tired to respond, didn't notice the attack from the Bi Fang Cauldron, and was sent flying hundreds of meters away!
The scene fell into dead silence!
Both Zhou Taiping and Xie Chenkun stopped in their tracks!
