Chapter 1012 – Defeat

Chapter 1012 – Falling Defeat
In fact, Shi Lin was indeed taking this opportunity to polish his stone body.

After the Laws of Destruction descended, on the surface of the stone body, a crack of varying sizes appeared, and as the Laws of Destruction gathered more and more, the number of these cracks also increased.

Soon, Shi Lin’s tall body was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, which were connected together to form a piece of rubble that rolled down from his body.

However, what crumbled into rubble was only the outermost layer of the stone body’s skin, and after the epidermis crumbled down, a stronger layer of stone body was revealed inside.

Shi Lin roared, put away his Yageless Bow, and even took the initiative to meet the destructive power that kept falling from above his head, and stood in a stalemate with it.

Seeing this, the crowd was both surprised and impressed, Shi Lin really resisted the destructive force, not only that, he even borrowed his opponent’s power to hone his own body in the middle of the battle!

Just this heart and courage alone had already surpassed many people.

“The Law of Destruction is certainly very strong, but the Abyssal Stone People have a unique talent, their stone bodies have a total of nine layers, and while it seems that one layer has been destroyed, in reality, the remaining eight layers have been strengthened, which is beneficial but harmless.

With such a stalemate, the Immortal Qi in Immortal Xu’s body will soon be depleted, and there is already a result as to which one will win or lose!”

“Shi Lin is really strong, in those past bouts, he didn’t use his true strength at all, it seems that in this battle, Immortal Xu is really going to lose.”

Many immortals who favored Xu Chuniang also fell silent, the current battle situation was indeed unfavorable for her.

Shi Lin’s own strength was very strong, plus he had come prepared, and Immortal Xu’s means were all restrained.

As for her killer Speech Spirit Technique, it couldn’t cause fatal damage to Shi Lin in a short period of time, and it was not good to continue dragging it out.

Unless she could think of a way to be able to control or destroy Shi Lin’s stone body in a short period of time, this battle would definitely be lost.

Just a little bit of time passed by, and as she watched the Immortal Qi in Xu Chuniang’s body become less and less, she never utilized any new means.

Seeing this, the crowd felt both surprised and a sense of entitlement.

Come to think of it, Xu Chuniang’s strength wasn’t actually very strong, and the reason why she won every time was because of her various unexpected magical abilities and her endless stream of new laws.

This kind of fighting style cast a veil of mystery over her, and made the crowd hold higher expectations for her.

Once she displayed all of her strength in front of the crowd, after this mystery disappeared, everyone’s expectations of her would naturally decrease.

Elder Gong sighed softly, even though before the competition had begun, Xu Chuniang had explicitly told him that the chances of winning were not high, telling him to bet on Shi Lin instead.

But the moment he placed his bet, he hesitated in the end, and pressed all of the Immortal Crystals that he was originally prepared to bet on Shi Lin onto Xu Chuniang’s body.

Whether he could make money or not was unimportant, let’s just consider it a bit of selfishness on his part, and hope that Xu Chuniang would be able to achieve the ultimate victory as she always did.

But right now, it seemed that this battle was really going to be lost, it was too difficult to use the power of destruction to wear away Shi Lin’s nine layers of stone body.

Unless …… she burns her lifespan at any cost in exchange for more Laws of Destruction, but this is a little too much to lose.

Many of those who supported Xu Chuniang also fell silent, they could already see that the defeat had basically become settled.

“No, I’m still unwilling to believe that Immortal Xu will lose. In many battles in the past, she had encountered similar situations, but every time, when everyone thought that she was bound to lose, she was able to miraculously turn defeat into victory!
Since she could win in the past, I believe that she can do it this time as well!”

However, more people were sensible, thinking that it was unlikely that Xu Chuniang would burn a large amount of her lifespan in exchange for a chance to win.

Moreover, a few months ago, someone had analyzed that with a cultivation level of the Human Immortal realm, being able to comprehend eighteen laws was already the limit. Moreover, the reason why Xu Chunniang had taken a five-month truce in one breath was precisely because she had exhausted her means, which was why she had to take a truce and raise her strength by raising her cultivation.

“Alas, the myth has finally been broken, no one can stand above the altar all the time, the reason why Xu Chunniang was able to triumph all the way to twenty-five consecutive victories was merely because she hadn’t encountered a strong enough opponent.”

“Not bad, in front of absolute strength, any so-called skill and luck are all vanity, Shi Lin is really strong, Xu Chuniang didn’t lose unjustly.”

Because of the formation, these words did not reach Xu Chunniang’s ears, she estimated the timing, it was almost time to lose.

The long period of sparring had already squeezed the last trace of immortal energy from her body, and bean-sized beads of sweat seeped out from her forehead.

The Speech Spirit Technique was still going on, constantly burning her longevity, while the second layer of the stone body of the stone forest had only seen some minor cracks.

Within a short period of time, it was basically impossible to destroy Shi Lin’s stone body with the destructive power in the Speech Spirit Art.

Moreover, the Speech Spirit Technique was not invincible, the longer it lasted, the more longevity would be burned, and the gap in strength was too great, so in the end, even if one won by relying on the Speech Spirit Technique, the loss would be more than worth it.

Xu Chuniang finally withdrew her Speech Spirit Technique and clenched her fists powerlessly.

And Shi Lin seized the opportunity to quickly launch a counterattack, summoning several stone seals to smash into Xu Chunniang.

Xu Chunniang, who had no immortal qi in her body, after painstakingly dodging four stone seals, was smashed squarely by the fifth, and with a muffled grunt, she collapsed onto the ring.

Shi Lin was chasing after her, and seeing that things were going badly, the Judge hurriedly stepped into the ring and blocked the blow for Xu Chuniang.

“Victory and defeat have been decided, Xu Chunniang has lost the battle, please stop.”

Shi Lin shrugged indifferently and did not continue to launch his attack.

The Judge breathed a sigh of relief, although in his heart he felt sorry for Xu Chunniang, but he had watched this battle from start to finish, and she had indeed lost without injustice.

“Shi Lin, victory!”

A burst of cheers came out from under the ring, mixed with a few shouts of curses.

“Who said that this Xu Chuniang was invincible in battle, overblown, right, causing me to press 5,000 Immortal Crystals on her, yuck, and this is the result? I don’t think she’s a match for Shi Lin at all!”

“What’s this talk about a fighting genius that comes along once in ten thousand years, I see that it’s nothing more than that! I don’t know how many Immortal Crystals she spent to invite so many people to campaign for her.”

Hearing these words of slander, the immortals who were chasing after Xu Chuniang became upset.

“Immortal Xu is very strong, she suffered because she didn’t have a competent Immortal Weapon, and the wind was too strong, her usual divine abilities and laws were figured out, can’t you see that she was targeted?
Shi Lin was too well prepared, she didn’t even utilize her true strength!”

“Hehe, what’s the point of talking about this when you’ve lost, do you pay for the immortal crystals you lost?”

Listening to the noises rising and falling around him, Gong Lao shook his head breathlessly and walked out of the fighting arena quickly.

Xu Yaotou lost the fight, her heart was afraid that it was difficult, he had to hurry to go and see her.
