Chapter 519: Chapter 518: Defeating You Is as Easy as Flipping a Hand

Qin Ya was enraged by the repeated provocations. He never went easy on those who were courting death.

The two arrived at Qingkong City’s martial arts arena. News that Qin Ya was going to duel Dongmen Yu spread like wildfire, and countless people rushed to the arena. They were all eager to witness the man who had supposedly slain four Era-Defining prodigies in a row!

In the City Lord’s Mansion...

Mo Bokong was speaking with an old man. This man was an elder accompanying the messenger from the capital, Dongmen Yu, and his strength was in no way inferior to Mo Bokong’s.

Just then, Black Dragon arrived and sent Mo Bokong a message via Divine Thought.

Mo Bokong’s expression shifted instantly.

The old man noticed the change in Mo Bokong and asked curiously, "City Lord Mo, you look concerned. Has something happened?"

Mo Bokong gave a wry smile. "Elder Dongmen, it seems Young Master Dongmen has gotten into a small dispute with my Deputy City Lord. They are preparing to duel as we speak."

"Oh? Is your Deputy City Lord that young man rumored to have slain four Era-Defining Kings in a row?" Elder Dongmen’s brow furrowed, his expression a mixture of shock and doubt. To be honest, he didn’t take such news seriously, figuring it was just an exaggerated rumor. ’How could such a genius possibly exist in this world?’

"The very same."

"Is he really that powerful?" Elder Dongmen asked, his curiosity piqued.

Mo Bokong hesitated for a moment before replying, "Vice City Lord Qin is the most brilliant individual I have ever met in my entire life. His talent is truly shocking."

’That’s only because you haven’t met enough people.’

Elder Dongmen sneered inwardly. ’If he’s really that incredible, why isn’t his name on the Armor List?’ he thought. Then, he said nonchalantly, "Let’s go take a look."

"Very well."

The two of them headed to the martial arts arena as well.

Meanwhile, the martial arts arena was a veritable sea of people.

"Who do you guys think is going to win?"

"That’s a stupid question. The Deputy City Lord, of course."

"Exactly. With his power, dealing with a mere King is child’s play. That punk, Dongmen Yu, is really courting death."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, none of it favorable to Dongmen Yu. This soured his mood to the extreme, and his hatred for Qin Ya boiled over.

’Hmph. You’ll all soon see who the real genius is.’

He blamed his earlier humiliation entirely on his own carelessness. After all, that palm strike had been a simple contest of pure True Essence; he hadn’t even used his True Intent.

’This Qin Ya just has powerful True Essence. His understanding of the Mysterious is still stuck at the Second Heaven, and he hasn’t even grasped True Intent. He’s no match for me.’

"If you surrender now, I might let you keep a shred of dignity."

Qin Ya’s detached words only enraged Dongmen Yu further.

"Arrogant bastard!!"

As he shouted, Dongmen Yu’s figure became a streak of Flowing Light, shooting toward Qin Ya. He raised his palm, gathering waves of majestic True Intent.

"Too slow."

The word was barely out of his mouth when Qin Ya shifted his feet, effortlessly dodging the palm strike. Immediately after, a fierce wind kicked up sand and dust, forming a massive sandstorm!

The grains of sand within the gale were like fine iron needles, pelting Qin Ya in a torrential assault.

"Petty tricks."

Qin Ya smiled indifferently. A long spear materialized in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he spun the spear, creating a gale that swept away the surrounding dust. At the same time, fierce flames erupted, blanketing the area. The fire merged with the wind, forming a swirling firestorm that enveloped Qin Ya.

"Break!"

With a low shout, the firestorm expanded from Qin Ya’s position like a wildfire. In the space of a single breath, it had completely devoured the sandstorm.

"How is that possible?"

’His Wind and Fire is only at the Mysterious Second Layer Heaven, so how could it break through my sandstorm, which was formed with True Intent? This... this is impossible!’

’No, that isn’t just Wind and Fire... it’s one of the Top Profound Mysteries!’

Dongmen Yu’s pupils contracted. The mystery he had comprehended was merely a quasi-first-rate one, while Qin Ya had grasped one of the Top Profound Mysteries!

’No wonder he can resist my True Intent with just the Second Heaven.’

A higher-grade mystery naturally suppresses a lower-grade one. Even though Qin Ya had only reached the Second Heaven in his comprehension, it was enough to counter Dongmen Yu’s True Intent.

"Do you have any other tricks? You should use them all at once."

Qin Ya stood with his spear, his expression impassive. He exuded an inviolable, awe-inspiring presence.

"Damn you."

"Mysterious Technique... Funerary of a Thousand Sandstorms!"

At his command, Dongmen Yu waved his hands, and all the sand in the arena began to churn. It transformed into a sky-high torrent that filled the horizon, blocking out the sun like a world-devouring beast as it surged toward Qin Ya!

Qin Ya watched the colossal sandstorm approach, his expression as placid as still water.

’Indeed, for Dongmen Yu to rank in the top thirty of the Armor List, he must have some skill. This Mysterious Technique is at least Sixth Grade.’

’Among the younger generation, only a select few like Li Peiyi and Gu Lin could compare. But against me, this is not nearly enough!’

Qin Ya planted his spear into the ground, his body enveloped by a palpable Qi of Destruction. He raised a single palm to the sky, condensing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. A majestic, hundred-zhang-wide Palm Seal materialized in the air, and its appearance stirred up howling gales in the void!

"Heaven’s Woe and Earth’s Misery!"

At his command, the Palm Seal descended upon the sandstorm.

For a moment, Dongmen Yu thought he saw an apocalyptic vision of a collapsing world within the Palm Seal. A chill bloomed in his heart. With a long cry, he pushed his True Essence to its limits!

But how could mere sand and dust stand against a palm strike capable of destroying the very heavens and earth? With a tremendous BOOM, the sandstorm was blasted apart, its streams disintegrating into nothing.

The Palm Qi, however, remained, continuing its rush toward Dongmen Yu.

"It’s not over yet!"

Dongmen Yu roared in fury. The dissipating streams of sand reformed into sharp-tipped tentacles that stabbed repeatedly at the majestic Palm Seal!

Only under this continuous bombardment did the Palm Seal finally dissipate.

Dongmen Yu was now half-kneeling on the ground, panting heavily. His face was pale, and his head throbbed with pain. He had exhausted all his strength just to block that single palm strike!

Seeing this, Qin Ya’s expression remained impassive as he slowly walked toward Dongmen Yu.

His steps seemed slow, yet his speed was extraordinary.

A single step appeared to cover tens, even hundreds of zhang.

It was none other than one of the Space Mysteries... Shrinking Inches!

In the blink of an eye, he was standing before Dongmen Yu.

One man knelt on the ground; the other stood tall and proud.

The victor was clear.

"Defeating you was effortless."

Qin Ya spoke coolly. Dongmen Yu’s face went deathly pale. Only now did he finally realize just how vast the gap between them was.

It was the difference between heaven and earth!

Before Qin Ya, he was utterly powerless to resist.

At that moment, the surrounding spectators erupted into thunderous cheers.

"Incredible! He’s the Deputy City Lord, all right!"

"Ha! I knew that punk was nothing compared to the Deputy City Lord!"

"I heard that kid was unbelievably arrogant. Look at him now, kneeling before the Deputy City Lord and eating his words."

"Exactly."
