Chapter Seventy-four: Blooming Flowers Filling the Hall

  His heart was filled with raging flames, and the earth blocks, giant stones, yellow sand, golden blades, and golden whips of his Earth-type magic were unleashed without restraint, continuously pounding against Luo Yu. The yellow and white light radiated intensely, and the yellow sand enveloped the battlefield, obscuring the view of the people below.

  Luoyu naturally dodged and weaved on the battlefield, although she couldn't avoid being hit once or twice. However, her skin was thick and her flesh was tough, so she wasn't seriously injured.

  "It's hard to see clearly, but with this kind of attack, that female cultivator should have definitely lost." Audience A commented.

  "Ah, ah, Big Brother's analysis is spot on! I've already seen a bunch of spirit stones flying towards me, hahaha......" The audience cheered and clapped.

  "Aren't you two rejoicing too early? Duan Qiming has lost his magic treasure, and this spell won't last long. As long as that female cultivator endures, Duan Qiming will lose." Spectator Zhang retorted.

  He was one of the few apprentices who bet on Luo Yu, he remembered that his senior brother said that Chu Yang had a high talent, **handsome, enthusiastic on the surface, but actually moody, good at business, cunning as a fox...

  The audience Ding angrily rebuked: "Shut your crow mouth, how can that female cultivator withstand this bombardment? Before Master Duan's spiritual power is exhausted, that female cultivator will be smashed off the stage!"

  The noise below was deafening, and Duan Qiming on the stage finally ran out of strength. Luo Yu sneaked up to his side, struck him with one rod, breaking his right hand, and then another rod sent him tumbling to the ground. Just as he was about to be beaten into a cripple, he suddenly smiled eerily, his cheek bulging, and something seemed to be in his mouth. Luo Yu's pupils shrank instantly, and she flipped over backwards just in time, for a black sphere came hurtling after her...

  A loud crash was heard, and the table surface shattered. Only a thick smoke and dust filled the air, nothing could be seen within 5 meters around.

  Duan Qiming spat out the Thunderbolt Bullet and immediately transferred his remaining spiritual energy to his legs, quickly escaping the scene. However, he was also knocked to the ground by the shockwave, rolling several meters and suffering severe injuries.

  "Hahaha——" He laughed loudly as he crawled up from the ground, "I don't believe it, at such a close distance, you can escape the bombardment of thunderbolt shells. This time, even if you don't die, your entire body's meridians will be destroyed, and you'll become a useless person!"

  The accident happened in the blink of an eye, and Judge Guo couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. Moreover, he wouldn't have been able to stop it anyway. Since this happened on his watch during the competition, he couldn't shirk responsibility. However, one thing puzzled him - due to his low cultivation level, he hadn't discovered it in time, but why didn't any of the Golden Elixir True Men on the chairman's platform come over to salvage the situation? Wasn't anyone paying attention to this competition?

  It's useless to think too much, the most important thing is to deal with this matter immediately. Jin Cai's face turned iron-green as he shouted loudly: "Duan Qiming, you used the Thunderbolt of the Foundation Period, which seriously violated the rules of the trial. I will..."

  "Wait a minute—" A disheveled and dirty female cultivator walked out of the smoke, with fresh blood still flowing from her forehead. "Could you please postpone the sentencing for now?"

  "You're not dead!" Duan Qiming's pupils suddenly contracted, his face shocked.

  "Haha, I'm not dead, you can rest assured, I'll leave a breath for you!"

  No sooner had the words left his lips than Luo Yu Meng suddenly leapt forward, swinging a rod that wrapped around his left shoulder. Thud! Duan Qiming's head knocked against the table surface, blood flowing freely, he was shocked beyond measure, opening his mouth to concede defeat, but saw a hand swiftly grasp his chin, with a crack, his jaw dislocated, and he could no longer speak.

  Luoyu's face was twisted with an evil grin, he raised his Golden Cudgel and struck down fiercely, particularly targeting his face. The sound of cracking bones echoed out, blood splattered everywhere, and soon the man was beaten beyond recognition, lying in a bloody mess.

  Duan Qiming's breath was weak, his inhalation shallow, and his life hung by a thread. Jin Cai rushed forward to stop him, pulled out a dan medicine and stuffed it into Duan Qiming's mouth, barely saving his life. As long as he didn't die, that was all that mattered; whether he would be crippled or not was no longer his concern. With a wave of his hand, two disciples came on stage, lifted up Duan Qiming and took him to the Execution Grounds.

  Judge Jin made a gesture to wash away the blood on his hand and declared to the stunned audience below: "Yun Hai Peak's outer disciple Duan Qiming, used the Thunderbolt Punch during the foundation period, seriously violating the rules of the trial. He will be severely punished, I have already handed him over to the Law Enforcement Hall. And the winner of this trial is Huang Luoyu, promoted to the top ten of the outer sect!"

  "Why, when we were about to win, did it end up like this?"

  "Damn it! Without using the Thunderbolt, Duan Qiming might still have a chance to turn things around. With it, even if he wins, he loses. Has your brain gone rotten? You retard..."

  "Even a 15-year-old girl who can't use spiritual power can beat you, you, him, and Mama Duan Qiming are all useless! I @#￥.........."

  "Ah! My Spirit Stone, I'll make him pay for the shame of our ancestors for 800 generations!!!"

  Under the stage, a sea of mournful cries and curses filled the air. Some people with cruel faces ran towards the law enforcement hall, not to plead for mercy, but to add insult to injury.

  But the few who had placed their bets on Luo Yu couldn't help but smile, and seeing the crowd's furious anger, they didn't dare to stay any longer either, so they quickly ran away to find a place to secretly rejoice.

  Because they were afraid of losing to the gamblers, Zi Yun led Huang Ziqiang and Sun Daniu to escort Luo Yu back to Taohua Garden.

  "Brother, I really didn't do anything! At that time, I instantly retreated and wasn't hit by the thunderbolt. I was only knocked to the ground by the shockwave. Fortunately, my skin is thick and I only suffered a minor injury." Luo Yu had already explained this several times.

  "Put that aside, what's going on with your spiritual power? Why is it being suppressed and can't be used?" Zi Ye's face turned bright red with anxiety. "Now that there's no one else around, can't you say anything?"

  Huang Ziqiang and others sent her back, congratulated a few words and left. Even if Sun Daniu wanted to stay, he was also driven away by Zi Ye with a dark face.

  "Brother——" Luo Yu's eyes turned red as she threw herself into Zi Ye's arms, she was really too exhausted.

  Zi Ye stroked his sister's hair, listening to her recount the events of last night in detail. His heart was filled with both anger and pain. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a snoring sound, and it turned out that this little girl had fallen asleep.

  Luo Yu only mentioned that Li Yanran had been drugged, and didn't mention Huang Luo Yi because she hadn't figured out how to deal with their relationship yet. ——————————— Thanks for a4318's reward yesterday, I'm releasing two chapters today as a special treat, but the next chapter will be later.
