The martial arts arena instantly fell silent.
Zhujian and Geding stood facing each other, thirty meters apart.
Thirty meters, for a Three-star War God, was a mere breath away.
Zhujian's momentum had climbed to its peak, dense green True Qi enveloping him, evolving into the shape of a green dragon.
True Qi manifesting as a dragon, Zhujian directly employed the True Dragon Treasure Art, and furthermore, a forbidden technique within this art – Dragon Battles Yellow and Black!
Dragon battles in the wild, its blood turns yellow and black.
This was one of the three forbidden techniques of the True Dragon Treasure Art. Da Feng Xiaoshuo
Back then, Gu Tianlong had used this forbidden technique on Jiang Wuming in Lizhuang, but it was casually broken by Jiang Wuming.
Now, in a fight to the death with a single move, Zhujian had also chosen this forbidden technique, solely because of its astonishing power.
"Roar!!"
Immediately, the air exploded, and the green giant dragon, as if enraged, opened its maw and roared, charging towards Geding, stirring up a terrifying storm.
In an instant, the ordinary people and weaker cultivators in the arena felt their hearts leap into their throats, simultaneously experiencing dizziness.
They were affected by the sonic attack within Dragon Battles Yellow and Black.
Moreover, this was even after the leaders of each delegation had waved their hands, creating a wall of True Qi that neutralized ninety-nine percent of the power.
If not for this, many people present would have fainted from the shock, and some frail ordinary people might have died on the spot.
Boom!
Just as the green giant dragon lunged at Geding, Geding also made his move. The silver True Qi on his body evolved into a knight.
That knight wielded a spear and rode a warhorse, charging towards the green giant dragon.
Dragon Slaying Technique!
As Geding had said before, he held nothing back, his move also being the renowned forbidden technique of Europa – "Dragon Slaying Technique".
This forbidden technique, infused with some of Europa's myths and legends, contained a spirit of facing death with resolve – no matter how powerful the evil dragon, a brave knight could slay it!
In an instant, the silver knight and the green giant dragon met. The former swung the silver spear in his hand, thrusting it at the green giant dragon, while the latter roared, waving its dragon claws, striking at the silver knight.
Boom!!
A loud explosion ensued. The silver knight, at the moment the green giant dragon's claws descended, struck the green giant dragon first.
The green giant dragon exploded with a boom, vanishing into nothingness, turning into an energy storm that swept in all directions.
Within the storm, the silver knight's radiance was slightly dimmed, but it did not immediately disappear. Instead, it continued to surge towards Zhujian ahead!
Swish!
Zhujian dodged immediately, but he was still a step too slow. He was struck in the right shoulder by the silver knight's spear, and his protective True Qi instantly shattered.
After launching this strike, the silver knight also vanished into thin air, completely dissipating.
"Pfft—"
Zhujian's right shoulder practically exploded, flesh and blood flying. He was sent tumbling to the ground.
On the other side, Geding stood proudly, unharmed.
Victory and defeat were already determined.
Geding, through the forbidden technique 'Dragon Slaying Technique,' had broken Zhujian's 'Dragon Battles Yellow and Black,' injuring Zhujian!
Moreover, this was under the condition that both sides had agreed to decide the outcome with a single move, and Zhujian had psychological anticipation!
In other words, if they had exchanged several moves before a forbidden technique clash, Zhujian definitely would not have been able to evade the silver knight's final thrust and would have been killed on the spot!
Zhujian knew this well. He endured the pain of his wound, stood up, and looked at Geding with a pale face: "Lord Geding, I concede defeat."
"I hope one day, we can fight side by side."
Geding nodded slightly, then, carrying his spear, he strode out of the martial arts arena.
"Geding really won!"
"I said it long ago, in the Three-star War God realm, Geding is invincible!"
"Heh... Dragon Country martial artists, are you still yelling? If Lord Geding hadn't shown mercy just now, that Zhujian would have already become a corpse!"
As the battle concluded and the results were announced, in the livestream of the Divine Net, martial artists from outside Dragon Country flooded the comment section with barrage after barrage, feeling a sense of vindication.
The Dragon Country martial artists, however, fell silent.
The winner is king, the loser is the bandit.
Zhujian had lost!
In the face of ironclad facts, they were powerless to refute, and could only silently bear the defeat!
Not only them, but even members of the Dragon Country delegation, including Jiang Wuming, fell silent.
The vast majority of them could not clearly discern the specific process of the battle that had just occurred, but they all saw the result and heard Zhujian personally admit his defeat.
At the same time, apart from Europa, members of delegations from countries like Ren Guo and the North American Alliance breathed a sigh of relief.
Before this battle, Jiang Wuming, representing the Dragon Country delegation, had consecutively won the Genius group and the Two-star War God level competitions, killing many geniuses from various countries!
Such actions were like a great mountain pressing down on their chests, causing them immense pressure and even reminding them of the fear they had experienced in the past under the dominance of Jiang Zhan and Zhuge Lingjun!
In those days, those two individuals had suppressed martial artists of the same generation, rendering them unable to lift their heads. The martial arts world of Dragon Country was so powerful that it choked other countries, and even the God of War Hall, with the Roman family at its core, dared not completely break ties with the martial arts world of Dragon Country!
This time, the God of War Hall, with the Roman family at its core, had used the opportunity of the Global Martial Arts Conference to instigate internal conflict, with the aim of kicking the martial arts world of Dragon Country off its pedestal, forcing it to obey or even submit to the God of War Hall!
This was also what the delegations of Ren Guo, the North American Alliance, and others had hoped to see.
At this moment, Geding's powerful victory allowed them to see a glimmer of hope once more!
Unlike the Ren Guo and North American Alliance delegations, the European delegation, especially members of the Roman family like Saint Lun @ Roman and Xavier @ Roman, had very grim expressions.
This was because, in their plan, Geding's victory in this battle was a foregone conclusion!
But Geding had not killed Zhujian!
This was tantamount to leaving a powerful Three-star War God in the martial arts world of Dragon Country, and one who might very well grow into a Five-star War God in the future!
More importantly, Geding's actions severely violated the will of the Roman family and touched upon a forbidden zone – loyalty!
These were the two most important words for all those in power worldwide, including the powerhouses of the Roman family.
In many cases, subordinates could be incompetent, but they must be loyal!
"Geding, you consider yourself a hero for mercifully not killing Dragon Country's Zhujian. This is an extremely foolish act!"
The next moment, as Geding walked towards the area where the European delegation was seated, a voice rang out.
The speaker was Taylor, second on the Four-star War God rankings and an absolute confidant of Anthony @ Roman!
Facing Taylor's reprimand, Geding sat down in his seat expressionlessly, offering no response.
Taylor, however, with a grim expression, rose and flicked his body, leaping directly towards the martial arts arena.
"Dragon Country's Ren Xiaoyao, come up and die!"
In an instant, Taylor appeared on the martial arts arena, facing the area where the Dragon Country delegation was located, staring intently at Ren Xiaoyao and speaking forcefully.
Without waiting for Xavier @ Roman to announce the result of the Three-star War God level competition, he had forcefully entered the stage on his own initiative, demanding that Ren Xiaoyao come up and die, truly displaying extreme arrogance!
