Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 1525 - 1724: Ruthless and Merciless

On the arena, it was already a tense situation, and the crowd below was in a frenzy, cheering and shouting. Ye Yiyun represented Tianwang Fort, Su Cheng represented Eight Trigrams City, and the duel between these two young talents was truly exciting. Regardless of the outcome, the victor would definitely spark heated discussions.
However, at the same time, not far from the arena.
In this place, a large group of Sect Masters from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect and Elders from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion were seated, each with an air of celestial elegance. Among them were both the young and the old, and their attention was drawn to the duel between Ye Yiyun and Su Cheng.
At this moment, someone said, "I wonder who will win between Su Cheng and Ye Yiyun!"
An elderly person responded, "I think Ye Yiyun's style, although a bit extreme, is very strong among the younger generation. He should win."
Then another elder disagreed, "I've seen Su Cheng fight before; in terms of the younger generation, he has the strength. Ye Yiyun is unlikely to defeat Su Cheng.
The elder, dissatisfied, said, "Well, let's see then. Let's see who wins!"
At this moment, the Sect Masters of Eight Trigrams City and Tianwang Fort, although not sitting together, exchanged glances. Although their sects were always at odds, they maintained their composure in front of others, looking at each other with smiles, but inwardly cursing each other.
A young member beside the Eight Trigrams City Sect Master said, "Sect Master, I think Senior Brother Su is bound to win this time. How can Ye Yiyun possibly defeat him!"
The Eight Trigrams City Sect Master did not speak, seemingly deep in thought.
...
On the arena, with the referee's command, the duel had started.
This time, Ye Yiyun appeared very calm, unlike the previous times when he launched a rash attack right from the start. That confidence was absolute, but when facing a fellow novice expert like Su Cheng in a duel, he had to think carefully.
He had watched a lot of Su Cheng's duel footage before, and the Sect Master had told him many strategies against Su Cheng. But data remained data, explanations remained explanations; this was his first face-to-face duel with Su Cheng, so he had to be very cautious.
Su Cheng seemed to be sizing up Ye Yiyun too. He had watched Ye Yiyun's recent matches from the side, striking hard, moving fast, so he was also waiting for the right moment to strike.
Expert moves are like this; either you don't strike, or when you do, it brings a cheer.
The two stared intently at each other, moving back and forth on the arena.
At this moment, Ye Yiyun made his move, raised his sword, thrust it forward, extremely fast.
Su Cheng also reacted at the first instant, instantly drawing his sword to block Ye Yiyun's attack.
"Clang!" The two swords collided, Su Cheng blocked Ye Yiyun's attack.
Then the two quickly engaged again, moving so fast that the audience couldn't see clearly, only hearing the sound of clashing. They kept attacking, and the detailed actions were not visible at all.
As part of Ancient Martial Arts Sect, both Tianwang Fort and Eight Trigrams City, although not primarily swordsmanship-focused sects, required their disciples to practice swordsmanship, so the disciples' sword skills were quite competent.
Not to mention the two of them, the top novice experts of their sects, their swordsmanship naturally wasn't lacking.
In just a few seconds, they had exchanged dozens of blows.
Su Cheng's eyes flashed, realizing Ye Yiyun was attacking low without defending. He promptly kicked forward, but Ye Yiyun reacted swiftly, countered with a kick, sending Su Cheng back.
Su Cheng showed a pained expression, surprised by Ye Yiyun's strength, a single kick causing his foot so much pain.
But then, in the sword duel, Su Cheng's mouth curled slightly upward, taking advantage when Ye Yiyun wasn't paying attention, first feinting a sword thrust to draw focus, but his true intention was the next moment, his sword turning towards Ye Yiyun's abdomen.
Ye Yiyun couldn't timely spin his sword to block, so he quickly twisted his body to avoid the sword's attack.
However, Ye Yiyun's sword was fast, and Su Chen's sword wasn't slow either. The sword pierced quickly, and even with Ye Yiyun's speed, it left a mark on his waist.
His clothes were torn, a cut on his flesh, blood flowed instantly, staining the tear red.
Ye Yiyun touched the blood on his waist, then tasted it on his lips, with a face of killing intent towards Su Cheng.
Su Cheng had a look of provocation.
...
The elder who predicted Su Cheng's victory looked excitedly at the other elder, seemingly asserting his keen judgment.
The other elder uttered a muffled grunt, then remained silent.
Meanwhile, below the stage, Feng Shiyuan watched intently, then asked Hao Jian, "Who do you think will win?"
Hao Jian calmly said, "Su Cheng is too eager for quick success, striking only to harm Ye Yiyun. Though Ye Yiyun was hit, he remains calm, clearly Su Cheng's fast attacks are making Ye Yiyun suffer early on, but in later stages, once Ye Yiyun observes Su Cheng's weaknesses, that's when he'll lose."
Feng Shiyuan felt a bit confused as he listened, but he still nodded somewhat understandingly.
However, just as Hao Jian said, aside from the earlier attack that injured Ye Yiyun, Su Cheng hit Ye Yiyun several more times, causing a wave of cheers and excitement among those supporting Su Cheng in the audience.
But as time passed and the duel progressed, Ye Yiyun observed more and more flaws in Su Cheng and fully utilized his initial advantages. Su Cheng could no longer hurt Ye Yiyun, as Ye Yiyun could dodge in time.
At this point, Su Cheng started to get a bit anxious, sweating more and more, fixing his gaze on Ye Yiyun, solely focused on defeating him.
However, Ye Yiyun appeared much more composed, closely watching Su Cheng, waiting for him to reveal another flaw.
"Clang!" The two swords clashed.
But Su Cheng, in his eagerness, attacked Ye Yiyun recklessly without assessing the situation properly. At this moment, Ye Yiyun slightly raised the corner of his mouth, suddenly swirled his sword, and thrust it towards Su Cheng.
"Not good!" thought Su Cheng.
But time waits for no one. In the moment he was startled to think it was not good, Ye Yiyun's sword already pressed closely upon him. Although he hurriedly dodged, it still left a large gash on his body.
This gash made by the sword was larger than the one he inflicted on Ye Yiyun before, with blood gushing out irrepressibly.
Su Cheng gritted his teeth, then tore his shirt, placing the torn fabric over the wound to quickly stop the bleeding. These actions were completed within mere seconds.
All the while, his eyes fixed intently on Ye Yiyun, wary of any attack from him at this moment.
But things were unfolding as Hao Jian quickly progressed; although Su Cheng had the upper hand earlier, it was because Ye Yiyun was enduring patiently, not underestimating Su Cheng. He patiently observed Su Cheng's methods and means of attack, and after understanding everything, he began to fight back. At this moment, Su Cheng was unaware of Ye Yiyun's strengths and thus got disrupted all of a sudden.
Following this was Su Cheng's turn to take a beating, with Ye Yiyun continuously pressuring him, causing more and more injuries.
The two were fiercely battling on the stage, but it was evident that Su Cheng was increasingly unable to match Ye Yiyun.
From downstage, Ye Yiyun's supporters shouted invincible praises for him.
While on stage, suddenly, Ye Yiyun rushed fiercely toward Su Cheng, who, too exhausted to react in time, was somewhat losing stamina, and before he could respond, was heavily kicked in the chest by Ye Yiyun.
"Bang!"
Su Chen was directly kicked by Ye Yiyun and fell on the stage.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Su Cheng struggled to stand up, but Ye Yiyun stepped on Su Chen's hand, kicking away the sword Su Cheng held tightly, then slashed with his sword, throwing Su Cheng's sword down the stage.
Then he heavily stepped on Su Cheng's chest, preventing him from standing up.
"You!" Su Cheng said weakly.
Ye Yiyun laughed heartily and said, "Victory goes to the king, and the loser stands condemned. You lost, so why still argue?"
Saying this, he suddenly placed his sword on Su Cheng's chest, slowly moving, leaving trails of cuts and blood stains beneath the marks as he sliced through the fabric.
"You!"
Su Cheng had now completely lost, with no capability to counterattack or fight anymore.
The referee wanted to step forward to announce the result of the duel, but a glare from Ye Yiyun frightened the referee into retreating back.
He had long planned that if he encountered a competitor like Su Cheng, he would find ways to incapacitate him, seeking time for his sect's development.
Therefore, he showed no mercy at all.
At this moment, the Sect Master of Eight Trigrams City, who had been watching on the side, could no longer stay silent. Suddenly he clapped his hands on the chair and stood up.
"Outrageous, how can anyone be so ruthless!" said the Sect Master of Eight Trigrams City.
The Sect Master of Tianwang Fort almost simultaneously stood up and said to the Sect Master of Eight Trigrams City, "Hey, stay calm. The referee has not yet announced the result of the duel, which means the duel is still ongoing. If the duel is ongoing, it is within the rules to exchange moves with the opponent. What's all the shouting about?"
The Sect Master of Eight Trigrams City stared at the Sect Master of Tianwang Fort with great dissatisfaction.
Even a fool could see there's something suspicious about this; clearly, he has lost the ability to fight, yet the result hasn't been announced.
The Sect Master of Eight Trigrams City, infuriated, waved his hand furiously.
