Within the Grotto Heaven, Su Yu unleashed a Sword Intent to directly block the strike from the Yin-Yang Mirror, then immediately activated the Great Divine Skill of Sky Splitting and slashed down, forcibly tearing open the Yin-Yang Millstone Formation set by the Yin-Yang Fiends.
"Not good!"
Lu Sheng was taken aback, and immediately communicated with the twelve Yin-Yang Fiends within, who swung great banners, raising a black light that formed a barrier to protect all the fiends.
This was a Tier Seven Yin-Yang Slaying Immortal Banner, which combined could set up the Yin-Yang Slaying Immortal Formation. When the Yin-Yang Millstone Formation was broken, this could come into play, buying at least some time.
However, at this moment, Su Yu had already condensed a blast of Innate Water Thunder. Accompanied by a deafening explosion, a violent cold surge erupted, instantly sweeping away all the defenses on the twenty-four Yin-Yang Fiends and Lu Sheng.
Then the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords split, with one sword attacking the twenty-four Yin-Yang Fiends, and the other slashing towards Lu Sheng.
The attack speed of one hundred thousand was beyond the reaction of Lu Sheng and the Yin-Yang Fiends; before they could even react, the sword light had already arrived.
The terrifying strike carrying Sword Intent directly tore through the Yin aspect demon bodies or Yang aspect Dharma bodies of the Yin-Yang Fiends, circled with a speed faster than light, and ground a Yin-Yang Fiend into pieces, collapsing into Yin-Yang energy.
It instantly killed two, and only then did Lu Sheng react. With a thought, all the Yin-Yang Fiends scattered, their bodies switching from corporeal to incorporeal swiftly.
Corporeal meant having a flesh body, while incorporeal meant turning into void, just like the void status of the Celestial Ghost Transformation, allowing them to reduce 99% of physical attacks, rendering nearly all flying sword attacks in the world useless.
But unfortunately, they met Su Yu, a freak who had grasped the True Sword Intent during the Foundation Establishment stage, enabling the enchanted flying swords to ignore the incorporeal state.
Barely visible, streaks of sword light flashed in the air, and three Yin-Yang Fiends in incorporeal and void state collapsed into Yin-Yang energy and disappeared.
Meanwhile, the Purple Thunder Sword had reached Lu Sheng’s eyes. Its speed was beyond his sensory limits, and before he could react, the protective aura vibrated violently, and the defense plummeted to the limit in the blink of an eye.
"Bang!"
The sword light flashed, and the protective aura shattered.
A layer of cyan light emerged and extinguished on the Magical Robe instantly.
In a blink, Lu Sheng lost all his defenses, exposed naked under the sword light, sending a chill over his body, but an even deeper chill into his heart.
"How can the attack power be this strong?"
In this moment, a strong premonition surged in his heart that he was about to lose.
"No, I can’t lose, I shouldn’t lose, I have the Yin-Yang Mirror."
He turned the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand towards Su Yu, yet before it could activate, a sharp sword flash flickered in his eyes, followed by a crisp sound, and the Yin-Yang Mirror was knocked askew, causing the white light to shoot off to who knows where.
Unsuccessful with the strike, Lu Sheng stretched out his hand to grab and activated the Five Demon Seals in the air. The demon seals disintegrated, turning into five massive demon body avatars that pounced down.
Su Yu immediately summoned the Wind God’s Order, sending out five divine winds to bind the five demons.
Looking back, he saw Lu Sheng spitting out a stream of essence, making rapid hand seals, and demonic qi gushed from his body while a massive Demon God head loomed behind him.
However, before the Demon God could take shape, a flash of sword light made his head lurch back, blood covering his face.
"Submit obediently!"
Su Yu’s sheer strength was far superior to Lu Sheng’s. It was just initially that he suffered because he hadn’t anticipated the absurd power of that Yin-Yang Mirror.
After all, with the Cyan Cloud Cover, he had been Immune to All Skill thus far, and had never imagined that this mirror could bypass his treasures, pinning him along with them, with his Immune to All Skill failing to trigger, putting him in a vulnerable position from the start.
But with his strength, he could only suffer such a loss once, not a second time.
The Purple Thunder Sword kept a firm hold on Lu Sheng, poised to interrupt any of his actions, while the Cyan Gang Sword swept across all directions, slaying one Yin-Yang Fiend after another.
These Yin-Yang Fiends matched Lu Sheng in strength, excelling in their ability to switch freely between corporeal and incorporeal forms, wielding most of their Daoist arts, armoring themselves with treasures, and uniting to form the Yin-Yang Millstone Formation, combining their defenses.
While they couldn’t replicate twenty-four Lu Shengs, they could serve as twenty-four diminished versions of him with no issues.
Normally, even if the formation was breached, the survival ability of the Yin-Yang Fiends with their corporeal/incorporeal switches was still very strong.
However, they couldn’t withstand Su Yu’s overwhelming might. Thirteen thousand base attack speed combined with True Sword Intent was simply a blood-chilling counter to the fiends, slaughtering them as easily as chickens, one sword for each.
As he successively slaughtered the Yin-Yang Fiends supporting the Nine Heavens Immortal Pendent, the others were unable to hold this treasure, and the pendent began to descend slowly.
"Boom!"
When the sixth Yin-Yang Fiend supporting the pendent was vanquished, the others could no longer sustain it, causing the pendent to crash down heavily, suppressing all remaining Yin-Yang Fiends, absorbing them into the pendent.
It’s worth mentioning that the Yin-Yang Fiends he defeated weren’t completely dead, since their True Spirits were in Lu Sheng’s hands; with time after the battle, they could be swiftly reforged using Yin-Yang energy.
To truly kill them, one must refine Lu Sheng’s Yin-Yang Fiend True Spirits alongside them.
Pointing with a finger, Su Yu summoned the Wind God’s Order to bind Lu Sheng, then knocked him into the open gate of the immortal pendent with a pat from the flying sword.
"Bang!"
The grand gate of the immortal pendent closed, the massive immortal pendent shone with immortal light, and Su Yu leaped to its top, slapping it with his palm. The surface of the pendent lit up, igniting with immortal fire.
"Is this the end?"
The audience was silent.
The battleground had deviated entirely from their expectations; at first, Lu Sheng had the upper hand, with Su Yu defenseless, leading most of the audience to believe the outcome was decided.
But unexpectedly, Su Yu seized that fleeting opportunity to counterattack, immediately rendering Lu Sheng powerless to resist.
A sheer obliteration, leaving no room for resistance, the disparity was far beyond everyone’s expectations.
"Oh my, how did Lu Sheng become so weak all of a sudden?"
"If not for that Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror, wouldn’t he have been eliminated right at the start?"
In contrast to the loud discussions among the audience, the contestants’ area was much quieter.
