Infinite Slaughter System: I Kill, Therefore I Ascend!-Chapter 201: The Round of 32! 3

Immediately, the rotund young man roared as his body fat seemed to rapidly burn like candlewax in a furnace, causing his body to slim down rapidly. However, that was not all, as in the process of slimming down, his energy and vitality soared, making him become more muscular instead, completely switching up his build in seconds!

"Oh? Interesting," Bai Yegui said with surprise.

Dongfang Lingpo grinned widely as he enjoyed his transformed power, his eyes glinting. "Indeed, I have worked hard for this day, storing my spiritual power as fat within my body, enduring countless years of discomfort and ridicule all for this day." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Then the young man’s eyes shifted from amicability to brutality.

"And now, you will be the first to taste my power!" he roared as he took a step forward and caused the ground of the arena to crack, blasting forward so fast that he appeared before Bai Yegui almost as an afterimage.

WHOOOM!

Just the momentum from his fist created a shockwave that spread outwards, and it was clear that whatever was struck would suffer severe damage from such power. While those in the crowd fretted and shook from such force, the person being targeted only lightly wiggled his eyebrows with mild interest.

From the void behind him, a spectral giant hand reached out and gently blocked the fist with an open palm.

BOOM!

The attack made a grand connection and released a thunderous sound, but the shockwave fizzled out while the fist lost all its momentum, like a baby’s punch being caught by an adult.

The face of Dongfang Lingpo, which had held victory and glee, changed immediately to horror and disbelief, leaving him stunned in place. He quickly pulled his fist back and created distance between himself and Bai Yegui, expecting a thunderous counterattack, but the pale-skinned handsome young man just stood there with a casual smile.

Dongfang Lingpo understood: his opponent was not threatened by him and was not taking him seriously at all!

This caused his shock to disperse as his eyes became bloodshot!

Fine, even if you are stronger than me and I am going to lose, I will make sure to tear off a pound of flesh before I go!

With a bellow, the fellow charged forward again and actually utilized martial skills to accompany his attacks, increasing their power by more than a fold!

BOOM! CRACK! BAM!

Dongfang Lingpo unleashed a veritable flurry of punches that were incessant and nonstop, carrying all of his striking power, even using his legs at times to maximize his damage output. Yet despite this, the arm from the void gently intercepted everything, like a boyfriend playfully blocking his girlfriend’s weak jabs, or an older brother teasing his infuriated younger brother and making him feel helpless.

This simultaneously made the young man throwing the punches feel defeated and filled with even more unwillingness, aiming to at least make a dent before he conceded. However, he seemed to have forgotten that this was a battle of ascension, and inasmuch as Bai Yegui wanted to show off, he only did so to attract his rival’s attention.

Now that he had shown what he wanted to show, he lost the patience, which was already very thin, and pointed forward.

The crowd all sat up at this moment because they had done their research and knew that this motion was a sign of the one thing that many people knew Bai Yegui for before his second-life fate was revealed, and that was his Perfection-stage second-realm Daoist art mastery of one of the basic Yin element spells.

Yin Thunder Wave!

Dongfang Lingpo was also aware of this and quickly reacted, blowing out a bead from his chest, which was revealed to be a Yang Shocking Pearl, one of the strongest items for countering Yin element techniques or creatures!

While he couldn’t have predicted that he would directly face Bai Yegui in the first round, he came prepared as a member of the True Human Path, with his large repository of items meant for every circumstance, and dealing with the Yin cultivators of the Hungry Ghost Path was one of them!

TANG! CLINK!

The two forces met, the Perfection-stage Daoist art and the third-realm artifact, causing a large explosion of power.

As expected, though, the Yang Shocking Pearl was ruined by the attack and shattered into pieces, returning to Dongfang Lingpo weakly, but it had neutralized the second-realm Daoist art at Perfection!

Even with just this, Dongfang Lingpo could hold his head up in his hall, because only items crafted by oneself could be brought to battle for the True Human Path fellows. That meant that this young man had made this item, which could achieve this effect, acting like a lifesaving guarantee for those without the ability to easily resist Yin-based attacks.

It was certain that after this, orders for his products would soar!

Smiling with a hint of pride, Dongfang Lingpo was about to unleash some harsh taunting words when his pupils constricted greatly. Bai Yegui had, at some point, changed his expression from playfulness to anger and killing intent, which literally affected the area around him.

With a single move, the hand in the void punched out at such a speed that it appeared before Dongfang Lingpo before he could utter a word.

The young man’s face changed greatly as he roared and mustered every single bit of power he had in desperation, because he truly felt the aura of death from this attack!

Unless he found a way to mitigate at least half of the incoming force, his outcome would be anything but good!

"BLOCK!!!" Dongfang Lingpo shouted with all his might, thrusting both arms outward to receive the blow while channeling all his Daoist arts and power into it.

BANG!

His two arms were shattered into blood mist as the young man’s body was blown apart by more than half, turning into pieces of flesh and blood that sprayed about, the rest of his body sent flying off the stage, his lungs barely containing a single breath of life.

Seeing this, the Divine Deva Overseer’s face changed as he made a grabbing motion and brought the lad nearby for rescue.

While this was going on, the crowd recovered from their shock, looking at the remaining parts of Dongfang Lingpo’s ruined body with pity, feeling that to recover from this damage, the fellow would pay a far bigger price than whatever he made using Bai Yegui as free advertisement.

Meanwhile, Bai Yegui himself harrumphed and walked down the stage, glancing at Li Ling, who was looking at him directly as well.

"Tsk tsk, Old Bai, you were planning on saving that little trick for me, eh? Seems you’ve learned from our last battle!" Li Ling praised and berated at the same time, feeling a bit of apprehension inside.

Last time, he defeated Bai Yegui by using his Perfected Fire Stream Art to act as cover and appeared beside the fellow, using all of his Blood Aura to unleash a full-power punch to send him flying off the stage. Li Ling didn’t know how, but after reaching this level, the fellow had someone train the physical strength of his Hungry Ghost Avatar to be no weaker than a third-realm peak body cultivator.

Clearly, the fellow had been plotting revenge!

And Li Ling didn’t believe he didn’t have other tricks up his sleeve, because the fellow was the ’overpowered revenge’ type protagonist, destined to always surpass his rivals and enemies by using them as fuel for his growth. If Li Ling didn’t grow faster than him and slacked for even one second, this fellow would actually be able to catch him and rub his face on the ground!

Seeing Li Ling’s nonchalance, Bai Yegui took it the wrong way and snorted. "I will defeat you, Li Ling!! Wait for it!!"

Another thing was that revenge types like this couldn’t stand losing even once, even as a joke, and would break through in ridiculous ways just to get that sweet face-slap. Just look at what he did to that poor fat-turned-muscular guy, all for the mere ’crime’ of advertising his products and aura-farming a little too hard!

"Ninth match, Bei Dongshi versus Liang Yue!" the Divine Deva Overseer called out after Dongfang Lingpo was stabilized and taken away by his people.

From the left came the blindfolded young man who seemed to be of a variant human race, while the other side brought up a robust young man who held a saber in hand that coiled with blood energy, his face serious despite his belligerent aura.

One from the Desolate Hell Path with no karma, and a young man of the Asura Blood Path with somewhat heavy killing karma, some fame, and a bit of strength among their peers.

This was definitely going to be one of those matches to watch for, and the crowd seemed to think so as well!

"Go, Liang Yue, cut that blind freak up into pieces!"

"Rip off his blindfold and let him see the light for the first time just before you kill him!"

"Cut off one leg, let him scream himself hoarse, then cut off the other one!"

The disciples of the Asura Blood Hall made some cruel and bloodthirsty remarks that made the faces of some in the other halls pale with fear and terror.

However, neither Bei Dongshi nor Liang Yue paid attention to this, only having eyes for each other as their auras began to climb!
