My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 816 Defeat (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote)

Shen Changchuan stretched out his palm and pressed it against the empty space in front of him.

The magical power within his body surged wildly.
Suddenly,
A dazzling silver-white light shone from his palm, and then the complex spell expanded instantly, transforming into a plane to block in front of him!
boom!
A towering white beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth, crashing into the planar light screen that Shen Changchuan had extended with unparalleled terrifying power!
but,
There were no terrifying explosions.

There was no earth-shattering collision!

There was only one moment when the terrifying white starlight pillar crashed into the planar light screen, and the light screen that extended from the spatial power was like a giant abyss, swallowing up the towering, brilliant starlight pillar without leaving a trace!

At this time,
high in the sky,

Seeing this, Xuan Tianxing was not alarmed at all. Instead, he revealed a cold smile and a mocking curve at the corner of his mouth.

Spatial transfer? Ha!

Having witnessed how he used this trick to outwit Xuan Tianxing, how could he not be on guard?

Do you really think you can conquer the world with just one trick?!

then,

Just as Shen Changchuan was focusing all his energy on moving that terrifying pillar of starlight,
Xuan Tianxing has moved!
His eyes flashed with a sharp light, the starlight around him suddenly subsided, and his figure shot out like lightning. In the last moment before Shen Changchuan used the Space Transfer Starlight Pillar, he instantly crossed hundreds or thousands of feet of void and appeared beside him!

"Trying to defeat me with the same trick!"

"Do you think I'm as stupid as Lin Wushuang?!"

Xuan Tianxing roared with a sinister smile, his right fist wrapped in dazzling starlight, slamming towards Shen Changchuan's chest like a comet striking the moon!
boom!
Wherever the fist passed, space shattered inch by inch, revealing spiderweb-like black cracks!

Seeing this scene,
Shen Changchuan's expression changed drastically!
In a moment of haste, a semi-transparent phantom appeared and blocked Xuan Tianxing's path.

It's a spatial clone!
During the previous battle, Shen Changchuan created three spatial clones.

Two of them were consumed when they defended against Xuan Tianxing's attack.

There's only one left!
However, this spatial clone was clearly greatly damaged by the previous fierce battle, and its entire body was only a semi-transparent illusory color, probably having lost much of its power.

but,

This slight obstruction is enough!

The clone lunged forward, its entire body automatically disintegrating. The power of the clone dissipated, forming a spatial barrier to block Xuan Tianxing's fist!
Also at this moment,

Xuan Tianxing's fist force, which contained the true meaning of the starry sky, had already arrived!

Boom!

The barrier that was strong enough to withstand attacks from the Divine Realm was shattered as easily as paper!

"die!"

Xuan Tianxing pierced through the spatial clone's obstruction and appeared before Shen Changchuan, his ferocious and smug expression growing increasingly unrestrained.

At this moment, Shen Changchuan had already taken the opportunity to completely ward off Xuan Tianxing's terrifying attack, "Star River Reversal."

But at this moment, he is in an awkward situation where his old strength has faded and new strength has not yet emerged.

Where is there any remaining power to stop Xuan Tianxing's punch?
then,

boom!
With a dull thud, Xuan Tianxing's iron fist slammed heavily into Shen Changchuan's body.

Shen Changchuan was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He was sent flying hundreds of feet like a cannonball, crashing onto the plaza with a loud bang, creating a large crater in the brick and stone ground, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading all around.

"Wow!"

"The victory has been decided!"

"I never expected that Shen Changchuan would actually lose!"

"Hmph! I've said it before, Shen Changchuan was only able to win first place in the competition because of luck. If Lin Wushuang had been more careful back then, she might not have lost to him!"

"His trump card for defeating Lin Wushuang was already revealed during the competition. How could Xuan Tianxing not be prepared? It's only natural that he lost!"

"A guy from a small town really is petty and narrow-minded. He clings to a trump card and won't let go of it, but you revealed your trump card a long time ago, yet you're still hiding it as your ultimate weapon. How can you not lose?!"

Around the square,

When everyone saw Shen Changchuan being injured and sent flying, an uproar broke out.

no doubt,

In their eyes,
This battle,
It’s a foregone conclusion!

However, their opinion
This had nothing to do with Xuan Tianxing. At this moment, after blasting away and "severely injuring" Shen Changchuan, he pressed his advantage relentlessly, his figure transforming into a streak of light once more to close in!
The Milky Way spun between his palms, the power of the starry sky seemed to reflect the heavens, carrying unparalleled power, and he struck down at Shen Changchuan from a distance!
"Die!"

Overjoyed at having avenged himself, Xuan Tianxing was about to deliver a fatal blow to Shen Changchuan!
however,
At this very moment,
Shen Changchuan, who had appeared disheveled, suddenly looked up, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

His right index finger had somehow developed a jet-black halo, which was only an inch long, but it sent a sudden chill down Xuan Tianxing's spine!
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"The Divine Light of Yi Wood's Extinction!"

in an instant,
Shen Changchuan's face turned pale.
Before Xuan Tianxing could react, Shen Changchuan pointed out with a finger, and the black light at the tip of his finger surged, transforming into a thin black line that pierced through the void!
In an instant,
The black light pierced through Xuan Tianxing's magical shield with lightning speed, striking his chest before he could react!
"what--!"

Xuan Tianxing let out a shrill scream. Centered on the chest where he was hit, his body withered and decayed at a visible speed. His originally black hair quickly turned gray, and his aura rapidly declined!
boom!
In an instant, Xuan Tianxing, who had transformed from a young man into an old man, fell helplessly to the ground from mid-air.
He shakily propped himself up with his withered hands, his dry, wrinkled fingers pointing at Shen Changchuan, trembling uncontrollably:

"you you"

The shape of the Xuan Tian Star is like a withered tree.
He staggered, unable to speak.

"Phew! You almost actually won!"

Shen Changchuan, also panting heavily, walked over from a short distance away, looking utterly exhausted.

He looked down at the old man version of Xuan Tianxing on the ground, his expression "complex":
"If you hadn't been careless in your moment of triumph, making a fatal mistake that I hadn't exploited, I would very well have lost this battle!"

"What terrifying Starry Sky True Meaning! I must say, your strength is above mine!"

"But no matter what, you've lost in the end, defeated by me!"

Shen Changchuan looked relieved.

This caused Xuan Tianxing, who was lying on the ground with white hair, to have bloodshot eyes that almost popped out of their sockets, and blood to keep gushing from his mouth.

"President!"

"President! Are you alright?!"

at this time,

Outside the square, members of the Methodist Church rushed over and helped the trembling Xuan Tianxing to his feet.

"Shen Changchuan, we are all from the same sect, how could you be so cruel!"

Some people mustered up their courage and questioned Shen Changchuan.

"Humph!"

"When he attacked me so severely, where were you all to uphold justice!"

"But don't worry, this move of mine is a third-tier unorthodox technique from the lineage of Qingmu Peak, called Yimu Nirvana Divine Light."

"I have only just begun to learn this unorthodox method and have not yet reached a high level. Therefore, the only effect I can achieve is to temporarily deplete the opponent's vital energy. If you take him back and give him a lot of pills that can restore his vital energy, he will naturally recover."

Shen Changchuan snorted coldly.

See here,

The Methodists around them also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that the outcome is decided, where's my payment?"

Ignore the people around him.
Shen Changchuan crossed his arms and stared directly at the trembling, aged Xuan Tianxing.

"In a couple of days, I'll have someone deliver it to your door."

Xuan Tianxing, with his white hair, spoke in an extremely aged voice, and he swayed unsteadily, like an old man on his deathbed.

He closed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Hmph! That's perfect!"

Having finished speaking,
Shen Changchuan, somewhat unsteady, leaped into the air and soared into the sky.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it disappeared into the distant horizon.

"Shouldn't this performance be enough?"

"I wonder if I'll be able to catch any big fish."

Once they were far from the Immortal Sect Square, and out of sight of others,
A cold glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes, and a thought crossed his mind.

His public "performance" in the Immortal Sect Square
in order,

It's not just about the possibility of continuously harvesting five thousand high-grade spirit stones as a fee from Xuan Tianxing!

He had never forgotten that the storm of public opinion against him that had recently swept through the inner sect of the Immortal Sect was orchestrated by certain individuals or forces.
