Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1419 - 736 Temporarily Ranked 1st_2

Thus, this round of attack dissipated into the air, vanishing between heaven and earth.

However, the power of this round of attack was extremely strong, even stronger than any prior attacks.

Under this attack, the immense impact penetrated through the Bagua Diagram on Xu Zuo, with a large portion ultimately transferring onto Xu Zuo’s body.

At this moment, Xu Zuo’s body was sent flying backwards.

While still mid-air, Xu Zuo’s face turned a ghastly white, and the blood he spat formed a graceful arc before splattering on the ground, looking quite spectacular.

With a muffled sound, Xu Zuo finally halted his retreating figure.

Under him, there was already a human-shaped pit, and Xu Zuo lay on his side within it.

Subsequently, Xu Zuo staggered to his feet, his face showing a look of terror.

At this moment, opposite him, Lin Tianyun watched all of this unfold, finally revealing a look of delight.

Under several rounds of attacks, Lin Tianyun, apart from the Great Sun Sword Qi Art, had nearly exhausted his techniques, unleashing his full strength.

However, after putting in such hard work, he finally severely injured Xu Zuo, thereby gaining absolute advantage.

But speaking of which, Xu Zuo’s strength indeed was formidable, whether in attack or defense, he was considered top-notch among cultivators in the mid-stage Golden Core.

Facing Lin Tianyun’s attack, Xu Zuo was merely severely injured without reaching a point of collapse overall.

On this point, Lin Tianyun, despite being confident in his own strength, could clearly recognize these details.

Understanding this, Lin Tianyun had no intention of wasting the advantageous position he had painstakingly gained to defeat Xu Zuo.

Thus, in the next moment, Lin Tianyun’s figure spun, preparing to unleash another round of attacks.

According to Lin Tianyun’s plan, he could seize this opportunity to capture all of the monster beast essence spirits within the clouds, thereby delivering a fatal blow to Xu Zuo.

With this mindset, Lin Tianyun acted decisively at this moment.

At this time, seeing Lin Tianyun about to make a move again, Xu Zuo’s face was an alternating shade of green and red.

Although Xu Zuo was indeed fearful of Lin Tianyun’s strength, he did not completely panic.

Therefore, Xu Zuo forcibly suppressed the agitation within him, calming himself down.

Meanwhile, in his mind, he was also weighing the situation.

After a brief moment of thought, he concluded that Lin Tianyun’s strength was somewhat superior to his.

Besides, on his side, he had already suffered severe injuries, and his overall strength was considerably reduced.

Beyond that, the essence of a fourth-order demonic beast was blasted by Lin Tianyun, and the remaining essence spirits were trapped by that eerie cloud.

In such a situation, if he were to continue fighting fiercely with Lin Tianyun, he would not only gain nothing but also potentially lose even more techniques, thereby exposing more of his methods and cards.

In the end, he would not only face defeat but also potentially exacerbate his injuries.

In his view, all of these scenarios were highly likely to occur.

Moreover, should he really risk everything for the first place title, he had a high chance of offending Lin Tianyun and the entire Lin Clan of the Wei Kingdom. freёnovelkiss.com

Moreover, even if he were victorious in this duel, it didn’t guarantee he could maintain his hold on the title.

After all, this place was not merely contested by their two forces for the top spot.

Let’s not forget about Xiao Pingfa from the Xiao Family, Wang Minghong from the Longqing Sect, or even Liu Hongming from the Five Poison Sect, who are all eyeing the top spot eagerly.

In such an intense scramble, even if he really defeated Lin Tianyun to temporarily seize first place, he would certainly suffer heavier injuries and reveal more unknown strategies and techniques.

Ultimately, he would still face challenges from multiple strong contenders.

When that moment arrives, a severely injured self wouldn’t withstand round after round of relentless battles without a reliable trump card as a foundation.

Given these circumstances, it would be unwise for him to risk falling, ultimately helping others benefit from his hard work.

Moreover, there is a certain benefit in stopping appropriately, which is using this opportunity to extend a favor to Lin Tianyun.

He believed, with Lin Tianyun’s outstanding talent, he would surely be able to understand this point.

By voluntarily giving up competing for the first place, he could still preserve some strength to strive for the second place.

Anyway, the difference between first and second place is just a half-share benefit.

Considering Liyang Sect’s foundation, securing second place would barely meet their expectations.

Understanding all of this, Xu Zuo had already made up his mind.

Thus, as Lin Tianyun was about to launch his attack, Xu Zuo forcibly roused his spirit and promptly shouted.

"Lin, I concede!"

As soon as these words came out, they quickly reached Lin Tianyun’s ears.

At this moment, upon hearing this, Lin Tianyun was somewhat surprised.

In his viewpoint, despite Xu Zuo suffering significant injuries, relying on his trapped army of monster beast essence spirits.

However, Lin Tianyun understood that Xu Zuo, as a seasoned Golden Core Cultivator from the Liyang Sect, had entered the Golden Core Stage for nearly three hundred years and was highly respected by many of his peers, some even trying hard to curry favor with this Third Order Formation Master.

Given Xu Zuo’s background and wealth of experience, Lin Tianyun had a hunch that Xu Zuo hadn’t really reached a desperate, life-threatening situation.

If it were so, and Xu Zuo really fought for his life, he would surely have strength left for one more fight.

But it seemed Xu Zuo assessed the situation and ultimately chose to concede voluntarily.

The outcome was somewhat different from Lin Tianyun’s anticipation.

But no matter what, it was an unexpected delight for Lin Tianyun.

After all, with Xu Zuo voluntarily conceding, he could avoid some unnecessary actions, thus winning this round of the duel effortlessly and temporarily claiming the top spot.

Such a result was indeed the best situation for him.

Understanding this, Lin Tianyun restrained his impending attack.

Then, Lin Tianyun looked at Xu Zuo across from him, seeing his utterly defenseless posture, evidently completely giving up on this duel.

Seeing this situation, Lin Tianyun laughed heartily and said, "Xu, your strength is remarkable, but for being willing to yield, I, on behalf of the Lin Family, am deeply grateful!"

Just as the words fell, Xu Zuo, upon seeing Lin Tianyun’s sincere expression and hearing the continuous praise, also responded with a smile.

"Lin, you’re too kind!"

"In my view, Lin, you are indeed a prodigy of extraordinary talent, with unparalleled strength, I am sincerely amazed and concede defeat willingly."

"Haha... Xu, you’re being modest!"

Lin Tianyun replied with a smile, then dispelled the cloud trapping a large number of monster beast essence spirits.

Seeing this, Xu Zuo hastily waved his hand, gathering numerous monster beast essence spirits back into the Bagua Diagram.

Including the tiny light dots transformed from the Fourth Order Demon Beast Essence, Xu Zuo retrieved them all entirely.

After completing these, the sky and the earth regained their tranquility, everything ceasing to a halt.

At this time, the Golden Core Stage experts present saw Xu Zuo voluntarily conceding, each displaying very complex expressions, unsure of what to think.

Those with ordinary backgrounds weren’t concerned, as the outcome of this next battle wasn’t of utmost importance to them.

After all, these experts knew well that in this duel packed with mighty competitors, Lin Tianyun and Xu Zuo’s strength was sufficient to rank them in the top three.

If nothing unexpected happened, these two would surely secure excellent results.

From this standpoint, no matter which of them won or lost, the top three standings were certainly out of their reach.

Given this, no one concerned themselves with Lin Tianyun and Xu Zuo’s exact victory or defeat.

Nevertheless, no matter the outcome, the fight between these two top contenders didn’t interfere with their anticipated rankings.

Under such mindset, those aiming for middle rankings quickly accepted this outcome.
