"boom--"
A devastating attack instantly engulfed Xiao Chong, and for a very long time... the entire starry sky fell silent.
Everyone watched in shock at the powerful attack.
Unlike Lin Yun and some other contestants who displayed their strength on the arena, many cultivators could not properly sense the power of the arena's defensive layers.
Moreover, this is a truly top-tier attack from a fourth-level super-powerful individual in the Super Realm, exceeding the attack power of top contestants like Lin Yun and Huoshi Anna by two levels.
The combination of these two factors left many ordinary practitioners deeply shocked.
"Holy crap..."
Even the ordinary, super-strong judges were startled and couldn't help but curse under their breath.
Xiao Chong is just an ordinary super strong person who has just broken through to the super realm. Can he really withstand such a powerful attack?
To be honest, the fact that they can become judges for this competition means that they are considered quite powerful among ordinary super strong individuals, and some of them are even super strong individuals at the second level of the Super Realm.
However, even those super strong individuals at the second level of the Super Realm dared not say that they could withstand Huo Shi'ao's attack.
This Xiao Chong... he's really had terrible luck...
Indeed, the Huoshi family just lost a top genius. That top genius was already stronger than many of them even with his current strength. Once he broke through to the Super Realm, his future would be limitless. How could Huoshi Ao not be furious that he was killed by Lin Yun in one fell swoop?
Just then, Xiao Chong barged in, and since he had no powerful background, it's no wonder that Huo Shi'ao took his anger out on him.
However, they only dared to think these things in their hearts, and even had to suppress these thoughts to a very small extent, for fear that Huo Shi'ao would sense them.
If Huo Shi'ao gets angry and uses them as a scapegoat, they'll be in big trouble.
"Brother Xiao!"
"Brother Xiao!"
Seeing this, Qingluo, Xia Qingqing and her group were also stunned.
They never expected that Xiao Chong would actually block the enemy's attack for them. Even more unexpectedly, Xiao Chong's act of blocking the attack angered the enemy, causing them to unleash an even more powerful attack.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
At that moment, a gust of wind swept across the starry sky, and Xiao Chong was no longer where Huo Shi'ao had just attacked.
Only a large cloud of blood mist remained on the spot, which dispersed in all directions with the wind.
"Xiao Chong has fallen..."
"That's normal. He's just an ordinary super-strong expert who has just broken through to the Super Realm. Huo Shi'ao, on the other hand, is a top-tier super-strong expert at the fourth level of the Super Realm. Even a second-level Super Realm expert wouldn't dare to say they could block his furious attack, let alone him!"
Some of the top judges, upon witnessing this scene, took a deep breath and secretly communicated.
"This Xiao Chong was Lin Yun's friend. Now that Xiao Chong has fallen, I wonder how Lin Yun will react?"
A top-tier judge looked up at Lin Yun's location and transmitted his voice.
"How should we react? Right now, Lin Yun can barely protect himself. Let's save his own life first! I've figured it out. This Huo Shi Ao doesn't just want to take the God-Devouring Blade and the Demonic Sound Bell. He probably wants Lin Yun dead! How can the Huo Shi family's top genius die in vain?"
"I've long heard that the Firestone family has produced a Saint-level expert, while the Saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land has left this universe, leaving behind many powerful resources. The Firestone family has been eyeing the Immortal Origin Holy Land for quite some time now... It seems this matter might very well be true... The world is about to change..."
Some of the top judges shook their heads and sighed.
"Xiao..."
Bai Po's tears rolled down her cheeks instantly. She quickly flashed to the spot where Xiao Chong had fallen and wept silently.
A pair of delicate hands reached out towards the blood mist filling the sky, but they didn't know where to grab, and their hands trembled slightly.
"Brother Xiao!!!"
"Firestone Pride!!!"
On the other side, Lin Yun was struggling to defend against Huo Shi'ao's attacks. He had seen Huo Shi'ao attacking Xiao Chong, Xia Qingqing and her group, but he was having difficulty even defending against Huo Shi'ao's attacks and was powerless to intervene.
Later, when he saw Xiao Chong block Huo Shi'ao's attack, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he never expected that before he could relax, Huo Shi'ao would launch an even more powerful attack on Xiao Chong.
Subsequently, Xiao Chong perished!
At this moment, Lin Yun's eyes turned red, and he roared angrily.
He never expected that Huo Shi'ao, one of the top super strongmen in the universe, would actually take action against a group of ordinary cultivators, and even kill a human super strongman who had just broken through to the super realm.
He never expected that Huo Shi'ao would dare to make such a move in front of so many human elites and in such a grand competition!
"Brother Xiao, not only Mengmeng and Qingqing, but also the safety of our contestants is in your hands. If anyone is in mortal danger, please help them. If there are any problems, I will take full responsibility."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Lin Yun still remembered what he said to Xiao Chong when he went up to the arena, and how Xiao Chong readily agreed.
He still remembered the various crises they encountered while traveling through the universe, and how Xiao Chong took care of them.
He still remembers the laughter and joy they shared.
Now... Xiao Chong is dead... forever dead...
Xiao Chong has just broken through to the Super Realm and just gained endless lifespan!
Xiao Chong just proposed to Bai Po and said they would get married after the competition and have a grand wedding. But the wedding hasn't even taken place yet!
Xiao Chong is dead... What will happen to Bai Po?
"Young man, you're just a half-step super expert. You see me, a fourth-level super expert, and instead of addressing me with respect, you shout at me like this. Do you have no manners at all?"
Huo Shi'ao looked up at Lin Yun, whose eyes were bloodshot, and smiled coldly as he spoke.
For some reason, seeing Lin Yun so angry, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction. The anger at the killing of Huo Shi'an, the family's top genius, and the resentment at being resisted quickly dissipated.
However, the mission was not yet complete; he still needed to attack Lin Yun.
"Boom!"
With a flick of his hand, a powerful attack was launched at Lin Yun once again.
"Huo Shi Ao! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!!!"
Lin Yun roared.
"boom--"
A powerful force was unleashed by Lin Yun, who abandoned his defense and quickly attacked Huo Shi Ao.
At the same time, Lin Yun and the Bloodthirsty Sword emitted an extremely dazzling crimson light.
However, Lin Yun's strength was too weak.
Under Huo Shi'ao's attacks, Lin Yun's various powers were repeatedly defeated.
It was clear that all of Lin Yun's power was about to vanish, and he was about to be engulfed by Huo Shi'ao's attack.
At this point, even if someone said that Lin Yun was about to suffer the same fate as Xiao Chong, many people would probably believe it.
"Brother Ao, this matter... is over!"
Just then, a voice rang out in this space.
A powerful force appeared in front of Lin Yun at the same time.
"Boom!"
Huo Shi Ao's attacks were all blocked when they met this force.
