Chapter 324: One Move to Defeat the Enemy, The Whole Arena Shaken!
BOOM! BOOM!
The terrifying blade lights clashed head-on with the blazing giant palm, their impact echoing through the heavens and earth!
Bang!
Bang!
In the next instant, two explosive shockwaves burst forth. The two dark blade auras released by Shentu Jue were instantly shattered by Lin Fan's blazing palm, reduced to dark Yuan Power and detonated into nothingness.
Immediately after, the overwhelming palm of flame surged forward with unstoppable momentum and slammed directly toward Shentu Jue!
RUMBLE!
The resulting shockwave from the palm blast shook the sky and earth. The terrifying rumble thundered across the mountaintop.
The so-called Asura Earth Fiend Prison trembled violently before exploding with a boom, the radiant sky once again revealed as the darkness was dispelled.
BANG!
Then came a deep impact—Lin Fan's fiery palm collided with Shentu Jue's Asura Body.
BOOM!
With another deafening explosion, the infamous Asura Body was shattered by Lin Fan's strike!
"AHHH!"
At that moment, Shentu Jue let out a pained scream as his body shot backward like a kite with its string cut. Horrific cracks spread across his body like broken porcelain, seemingly on the verge of complete collapse.
His body was now riddled with three raging flames—Nirvana Flame, Nirvana Demon Flame, and Nanming Fire—ravaging him from within, making the pain unbearable.
RUMBLE!
The residual force of Lin Fan's palm swept across the entire mountaintop plaza, fracturing the stone platform with countless cracks, leaving it battered and pitted.
And this was after Lin Fan had held back.
If he hadn't restrained himself, Shentu Jue wouldn't have even survived.
All of this happened in mere moments. Before the crowd could even react, this highly anticipated final battle… was already over.
"Jue'er!"
From the Shentu Clan's area, Elder Shentu Mo's expression changed dramatically. With a shout, he flew to Shentu Jue's side and immediately began channeling Yuan Power to stabilize his injuries.
The rest of the Shentu Clan looked on in stunned disbelief—especially the younger disciples, whose faces were frozen with shock.
They simply couldn't comprehend that Shentu Jue had actually lost—and lost so quickly and miserably.
Uproar!
A wave of deafening noise burst out from the audience. Every single person was dumbfounded by what they had just witnessed.
No one had expected the battle between Lin Fan and Shentu Jue to end so fast.
In just the blink of an eye, Shentu Jue had been defeated—and now lay near death.
Lin Fan's strength was… terrifying.
Cough, cough…
With Shentu Mo's emergency treatment, Shentu Jue coughed dryly, his eyes filled with pain and unwillingness.
"…Looks like I won, right?" Lin Fan looked over at Shentu Jue and Shentu Mo, tilting his head slightly as he spoke with a faint smile.
"You… won."
Shentu Jue's eyes were full of unwillingness, but he knew he had no power to resist. He could only force out those words before coldly adding, "This time, the Desolate Tower slots belong to the Gu Clan. But I'll come for you again."
Lin Fan calmly met his gaze but said nothing.
After this, he would leave. Whether they'd meet again was uncertain—and if they did, the gap between them would only grow wider.
"He won!"
The moment Shentu Jue acknowledged defeat, everyone fully understood the result.
Immediately, a thunderous cheer erupted from the Gu Clan's section.
"Brother Lin Fan is truly amazing! Not even Shentu Jue could withstand a single move… How does he train like that?"
Gu Yuntian smacked his lips in awe as he stared at Lin Fan with admiration.
He had once fought Shentu Jue himself and knew just how fearsome the latter was.
But even that same Shentu Jue had been crushed by Lin Fan in one move…
Elder Gu Shuo stroked his beard, looking at Lin Fan with deep admiration—and regret.
A genius like this, and we still couldn't keep him in the Gu Clan. What a pity…
"Looks like Lin Fan's name will soon echo throughout the entire Tianfeng Sea Region," Gu Mengqi said with a soft smile.
The other Gu Clan members all nodded in agreement.
After today, Lin Fan would no longer be a nameless figure. His name would spread like wildfire.
"Even Shentu Jue couldn't stand against him…"
In the Wei Clan area, Wei Zhen and Chen Luo, still pale-faced, looked on grimly at Lin Fan.
"Brother Chen Luo… this guy's not easy to deal with," Wei Zhen said with a low voice.
A dark glint flashed in Chen Luo's eyes. He sneered, "He's too hard to deal with—but that just means he'll die harder."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Wei Zhen asked, intrigued.
"Back on Xuanling Island, I'm almost certain he was the one who killed my senior brother. My master won't let that slide," Chen Luo said coldly. "Once I report this, my master will come personally. That kid won't escape."
"If Elder Xiegu himself acts… then yes, he's doomed."
Wei Zhen grinned, his expression lighting up with vengeful satisfaction.
He hated Lin Fan—not only for humiliating him, but for being someone he couldn't match. If Lin Fan died, it would bring him peace.
…
While they were plotting, Shentu Tao looked at the defeated Shentu Jue and sighed softly. Then, he turned to the Gu Clan and cupped his fists.
"The Shentu Clan concedes. This year's three Desolate Tower slots go to the Gu Clan."
As his words echoed out, many of the Shentu Clan members lowered their heads in frustration.
But Shentu Jue had lost fair and square—they couldn't argue.
Elder Gu Shuo quickly returned the gesture with a smile. "Many thanks."
Shentu Tao gave Lin Fan a sharp look, but Lin Fan met his gaze calmly, completely unafraid.
"Save your thanks for that young man," Shentu Tao said at last. "Your Gu Clan found quite the external aid."
After that, he withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly.
The tower battle was over, and with it, the Martial Meet came to an end.
The crowd at the summit began to gradually disperse amidst waves of excited chatter.
News of this battle would spread rapidly in all directions.
Lin Fan, however, remained indifferent to the attention.
Surrounded by countless reverent gazes, he returned to the Gu Clan's seating area and asked bluntly, "When can we enter the Desolate Tower?"
"If you're ready, you can go in tomorrow," Gu Shuo said cheerfully.
Lin Fan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Now, all that remained was to wait.
