A sudden turn of events unfolded, and no one could see clearly due to the complete shroud of black mist over the Arena, rendering all figures invisible. However, not being able to see did not mean they couldn't hear.
"Ah!!!"
A piercing scream echoed from the Arena, spreading far and wide to the ears of many spectators outside, causing some of the more timid individuals to turn pale.
At this moment, after the second eruption of the black mist vortex within Bu, the Black Mist Sword Qi surged like a tide, completely enveloping Gaia's figure. Just then, a bright yellow circular barrier suddenly appeared.
Bu's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty madness. All the energy within him flowed into the Black Mist Sword Qi. With several crisp cracking sounds, the Bright Yellow Barrier shattered in an instant under the impact of the Black Mist Sword Qi. A figure, drenched in blood and with large patches of rotting skin, shot out rapidly.
By now, seven seconds had passed, leaving only three seconds remaining!
Bu Xin felt exhausted; an aura of aging spread from his body. Yet at the same time, a more formidable power erupted from within him.
With a sudden step forward, Bu's body moved almost at supersonic speed, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed toward the blood-soaked figure.
The third wave of power swept through his body in the explosion of the black mist cyclone. Bu's body involuntarily twitched; the massive depletion of life potential caused his appearance to age further, with strands of white hair reappearing.
At that moment, Gaia was within arm's reach. Bu flicked his long sword; under the impetus of his powerful force, the surrounding black mist was drawn in, forming a sword mist storm that suddenly descended in a whirlpool.
Gaia showed a hint of fear. The horrific experience of being enveloped by the Black Mist Sword Qi had already terrified him. Even after activating a Protective Skill from an Exceptional Equipment, he had nearly met his end. Now seeing Bu approach, panic surged within him, giving rise to a desperate struggle. He shouted loudly as he unleashed the last accompanying skill of the Taiyuan Spear!
"Ancient Gun Taiyuan, Unleash in Anger! Taste blood!"
Just before Bu's sword could reach him, Gaia struck first with a blood-red spear light that seemed to tear through the depths of the earth. Wherever it passed, the black mist recoiled and rippled through the void.
Before even reaching Bu, this blood-red spear light pierced through his body like a bloodthirsty giant monster. Countless fine blood-colored spear lights clung tightly to Bu's body, unleashing rampant destruction as they tore through his muscles and internal organs, causing blood to flow profusely.
The thick scent of blood filled the air. Bu Shuang's eyes turned even redder; a frenzied bloodthirst twisted his features into something monstrous. He did not dodge or evade but allowed this spear to pierce through his chest as he charged forward. The storm vortex formed by the Black Mist Sword Qi crashed violently into Gaia.
The sound of "Bone Shattering" accompanied a piercing scream, causing a stir among the crowd outside. Some felt a chill run down their spines; they could not see the scene completely shrouded in black mist, but just hearing that heart-wrenching scream made their hair stand on end.
Gaia's upper body was almost cleaved in two by that sword strike. As the black mist surged violently, waves of intense coldness rushed into his body, causing his flesh to rot and his blood to begin drying up.
His eyes were filled with extreme fear, his face pale as death. A strong sense of impending doom enveloped him, and upon seeing the bloodthirsty madness in Bu's eyes, his mind shattered. He opened his mouth to concede defeat.
But just as the words were about to escape his lips, Bu lunged forward, his fangs aimed at Gaia's neck, biting down fiercely.
At this moment, ten seconds had passed!
Gaia's shrill scream echoed once more. At that moment, he forgot to call out for surrender. His entire body thrashed in desperation, the terror on his face reaching its peak. In that instant, Bu appeared to him as a demon—more cruel and terrifying than any evil spirit!
This demon was drinking his blood. He could even feel the vitality within him dissipating, sensing the blood in his veins flowing toward one point and disappearing into this demon's mouth.
"Don't use Taiyuan Spear on me! Please stop!"
Gaia's mind crumbled; his thoughts became blank. As the blood flowed from his body, his skin and flesh began to wither away. Veins bulged visibly as he could faintly see the movement of blood within them. His gaze turned to ash, and a chill spread through his body. His strength to struggle weakened increasingly, as if Bu was consuming not only his blood but also his very soul.
As Gaia's blood rapidly surged into Bu's mouth, Bu's eyes gradually brightened. The Black Mist Sword Qi swirling around him began to thin out after the tenth strike ended. Streams of fresh blood flowed into him, replenishing the life force he had expended and rapidly healing his injuries.
After all, Gaia was merely an Intermediate Level warrior; the vitality and energy contained in his blood were less than one percent of that of an Intermediate Level 5 warrior. However, while the quality could not be compared, the quantity far exceeded it. Under Bu's greedy consumption, Gaia’s once aged appearance began to slowly recover—his white hair turned gray and then black.
This bizarre scene went unnoticed by anyone; even Hill, closest to the Arena, could only see it vaguely—as if the two were tightly pressed together or as if Gaia had been subdued by Bu.
When the last drop of blood was consumed by Bu, the Black Mist Sword Qi gradually dissipated. Bu released his fangs and casually tossed Gaia’s withered, zombie-like cold body onto the ground.
At that moment, a breeze blew through, dispersing much of the black mist as if invisible hands were lifting a curtain, revealing the scene in the arena to everyone’s eyes.
“Shhh”
A wave of gasps surged like a tsunami, as everyone who witnessed everything in the Arena was struck with shock, inhaling sharply, their eyes filled with terror.
The host of this duel, Hill, was left dumbfounded, staring blankly at the shriveled corpse on the ground, momentarily forgetting to announce the result of the duel.
This battle shocked Ten Thousand!
Standing proudly, Bu's black hair flowed like snakes, his fierce fangs slowly retracting into his mouth. A nine-foot-long spear pierced through his body, protruding five feet from his back. Beneath him lay a cold, shriveled corpse.
The face of this corpse still bore an expression of extreme fear even in death, as if it had endured hellish torment.
Gaia was dead! In just ten seconds after the battle began, he had become a cold corpse.
All of this left everyone feeling as if they were in a dream, an overwhelming sense of unreality. Especially Kalandor, who had wanted Gaia dead more than anyone else. But now that Gaia was truly dead, he stood frozen in place, his mind blank, seemingly unable to believe that this was real.
No one had seen the specifics of the duel within the Black Mist Sword Qi; no one knew how Gaia had died. But now seeing the bizarre and shriveled corpse and recalling the piercing screams from earlier, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Unconsciously, their gazes toward Bu began to change, gradually filling with a sense of fear.
Sean Sterling looked thoughtful as he gazed at Bu for a long time before letting out a soft sigh and slowly closing his eyes. He had discerned some clues from Gaia's shriveled corpse.
Elena slightly parted her lips, her face filled with uncertainty. Earlier, she had considered Gaia to be difficult and troublesome and hadn’t thought highly of Bu. But now this outcome surprised her while also leaving her puzzled; killing Gaia in just ten seconds made Elena question whether she had misjudged the situation.
The person most affected by this scene was Beck. At this moment, he was furious; his face turned a shade resembling liver, and his gaze toward Bu was so cold it seemed capable of turning into knives.
Gaia's death meant that none of the three contestants led by Beck in this Qualification Challenge would gain admission to Holy Light Academy. This was undoubtedly a huge irony and would cause his status among the twelve Judges to plummet. Even if he returned to Holy Light Academy to complete his tasks, he would not gain much benefit.
The more Beck thought about it, the more agitated he became. Deep down, he hated Bu so intensely that he gritted his teeth. Countless malicious thoughts sprouted within him, wishing to tear Bu apart into pieces.
At the same time, there was someone in the crowd who was equally furious, with a determination to kill that was even stronger than Beck's.
This person was cloaked in a black robe, and his aged face looked extremely grim at this moment. A murderous intent filled his eyes as he gazed at Gaia's cold corpse on the arena, almost ready to roar in rage.
He was the only guardian who had followed Gaia on this journey, possessing strength at the Intermediate Level 5.
The Arthur Royal Family was powerful and feared by the Duchy Royal Family, which is why they had not established any influence in the imperial capital. Consequently, during this Peak Showdown, only he accompanied Gaia despite her esteemed status.
However, with Gaia now dead and the designated heir of the Arthur Royal Family lying lifeless in the arena, The Man in the Black Cloak trembled with rage. A strong killing intent emanated from him, causing those around him to slowly retreat in fear.
Just then, atop the massive blue beast that stood level with the twelve tall pillars, the Gray-Robed Elder smiled slightly and cast a fleeting glance at The Man in the Black Cloak.
In that glance, it seemed to contain authority; a pressure locked onto The Man in the Black Cloak. His expression changed abruptly as his pupils contracted while looking at the Gray-Robed Elder. As he felt a shock within, his murderous intent gradually faded.
"Damn it! With this Old Guy here, if I act impulsively, I might be instantly killed in retaliation. At that moment, that old fox Habea will surely take advantage of this situation to make trouble for my Arthur Royal Family. Damn it! Damn it! My Royal Family's heir has been killed, yet I can only endure this humiliation without seeking revenge."
The features of The Man in the Black Cloak twisted under the shadow of his hood as he suppressed his killing intent. He no longer looked toward Beck; he feared that if he lost control for a moment, he would not only lose his life but also bring trouble upon the Arthur Royal Family.
