System's Super Sect Chapter 978 917: Yun Liao's Desperate Battle
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Half a stick of incense was enough!
Yun Liao felt a tremendous drain on his spiritual power, yet he pressed on, increasing the output.
He managed to halt the six beams of light, preventing them from advancing even an inch. However, the consequence was that Yun Liao started to feel dizzy, a detail swiftly perceived by Wu Yan.
Wu Yan urgently advised, "Yun Liao, your ability to withstand my Divine Will proves your strength. Surrender, and I might spare you!"
While Wu Yan would feel no regrets if Yun Liao genuinely perished under the Divine Will, he would certainly lament the loss.
Over the years, few have been his equal, and should Yun Liao fall, Wu Yan would feel a profound loneliness within the Red Domain.
Yun Liao responded with a relaxed smile, then declared, "Wu Yan, you should be more concerned about yourself."
With that, Yun Liao's smile vanished instantly.
His spiritual power output reached a tenth of his total capacity every hundred breaths! This level of expenditure made Yun Liao feel as though his head might explode. He endured the agony, maintaining the Gale Sword Array, and began to fight back.
The members of the Red Leaf Sect watched this unfold, their hearts filled with elation.
Because Yun Liao was clearly suffering.
Defeat seemed imminent!
The cultivators from the Xuan Court Pavilion and Yin Yang Family could only sigh.
Could it be that Yun Liao was truly losing?
Only Di Chen and Jin Busan contemplated why Yun Liao's pain seemed to originate from his head.
Do mages fight with their heads?
At this very moment, a startled cry shattered everyone's thoughts and expectations.
Suddenly, Yun Liao raised his magic wand, pointing it towards the sky. Centered on the battlefield, all the flowers, grass, and trees began to emit an unprecedented green aura!
They floated like celestial bodies, continuously drifting from the surroundings into Yun Liao's form.
Yun Liao's previously pained expression immediately eased.
Filled with curiosity about this verdant aura, everyone fixated on Yun Liao, gradually noticing the changes.
Wu Yan's spiritual power was rapidly depleting, and the Six-Eyed Divine Statue's advance was no longer unstoppable. Under the relentless pressure of the Gale Sword Array, the six beams emitted by the Six-Eyed Divine Statue began to be repelled.
"Why is Yun Liao still getting stronger?"
"This green aura is invigorating him!"
Everyone marveled, completely taken aback by this unexpected turn.
At this juncture, Di Chen spoke, "It's not Yun Liao getting stronger, but rather Wu Yan becoming weaker."
Jin Busan retracted his perception and quietly added, "Indeed, the mage seems to be utilizing perception. I sensed during the clash that Yun Liao's perception was constantly outputting energy, merging into that magic wand. Once the green aura flowed into him, even though Yun Liao's perception continued to output, it reached a balanced state. This means, as long as the green aura persists, Yun Liao would never truly exhaust himself!"
Listening to Jin Busan's explanation, Di Chen gazed at Yun Liao in astonishment, observing the green aura pouring towards him from all directions.
Is this also magic?
What manner of magic is this?
It can replenish one's strength!
Meanwhile, in the heat of battle, Wu Yan's entire body began to tremble as the Six-Eyed Divine Statue retreated step by agonizing step. His spiritual power was nearly depleted.
He could no longer sustain the attack of the Divine Will!
"No—"
Wu Yan gritted his teeth, unwillingly taking a step forward, only to be immediately pushed back by the Gale Sword Array.
This forced retreat spanned over a dozen steps!
"How are you still holding on?" Wu Yan couldn't perceive the Wood Qi, nor could he sense it, leaving him utterly perplexed as to why Yun Liao remained standing.
Isn't such an intense engagement supposed to be a mutual depletion of resources?
Why is only he the one consuming his power?
Staring at Wu Yan, Yun Liao spoke with a hint of pity, "If you manage to survive, joining the Immortal Sect will reveal the answer to you. For now, all I can say is, this is the might of magic!"
The Storm Sword Array continued its sweeping assault, halting the six beams from the Six-Eyed Divine Statue, causing all six eyes to close simultaneously.
It was because Wu Yan could no longer sustain the fight.
Thud—
The very instant Wu Yan collapsed to the ground, the Six-Eyed Divine Statue was engulfed by the Gale Sword Array, instantly pulverized and transformed into golden light that dispersed across the earth.
Sensing the dissipation of killing intent, Wu Yan fell headlong onto the ground, uttering his final few words.
"I lost!"
With those pronouncements, a dozen silver swords descended.
Pfft—
Pfft—
Pfft—
Each one pierced into Wu Yan's body.
"Yun Liao wins!"
Amidst the resounding cheers of the Earth Unrestricted experts positioned outside the barrier, Yun Liao withdrew the Gale Sword Array and dispelled the Tier Three Wood Element Recovery Magic—Song of the Forest. Only then did the sky-blue Wood Qi gradually fade away.
Yun Liao glanced at the fallen Wu Yan lying in the pool of blood, his expression blank as he remarked, "Hope you survive."
With those words uttered, Yun Liao mounted his magical broom and made his escape from the battlefield, denying any opportunity for an Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart challenge. His spiritual power, too, had been completely exhausted. Elsewhere, concealed behind the Unyielding Rock, the four members of the Heaven-Defying Sect, though thoroughly terrified for their lives, found themselves ultimately safe and erupted in joyous cheers. "We're alive!" "We survived!" Their celebration was not one of triumph, but of sheer relief. (See you tomorrow~)
