Chapter 1011: Leaving Without a Trace
Only at this moment did most of the spectators begin to realize what had just happened.
He won?
The Blue Gold Tree clan's clan leader had actually defeated the Fire Dragon clan leader, Fire Dragon King Tang Mohuang? And not only that, but he had even won despite Tang Mohuang using his clan's most powerful divine item?
It all seemed unbelievable, yet also strangely natural. After all, what Jin Miaolin relied on wasn't his own strength, but the Sword Saint Demon Emperor's sword might, borrowed through the statue.
But speaking of that, what was with the second strike? Didn't they say when they sold it that there was only one strike's worth of power?
Tang Mohuang had managed with difficulty to withstand the first one, but when faced with the second, he had no choice but to concede in order to save his life, and that was perfectly understandable. But that second sword strike seemed to have dissipated on its own afterward!
By the time Tang San returned to his lounge, the Blue Gold Tree elders were already celebrating in a wave of cheers. Jin Miaosen even rushed forward to hug him, only to be stopped mid-leap by Tang San's outstretched hand.
Only the watching Emperors truly understood what had happened. What Tang San did was actually very simple—he had injected a vast amount of life energy into the Sword Saint statue, which forcibly empowered the sword intent within. But the statue was somewhat connected to the Sword Saint Demon Emperor himself, and even he felt the nourishment of life energy. It was to the point that when the statue was triggered, part of the Emperor's power was fed back into the statue. This resulted in the formation of the second sword beam. Though in truth it was just aura without substance, it was definitely terrifying enough to scare someone.
And so, Fire Dragon King Tang Mohuang met his tragic fate.
To the audience, it looked like Jin Miaolin had done almost nothing, and yet, he'd somehow won again. And with this win, he had advanced into the top twenty. If another match later in the day resulted in both participants being injured or eliminated, and if Jin Miaolin won one more time, he might just enter the semifinals.
