Chapter 0782 Drum of Mystic Power

Chapter 0782: The Profound Force Drum

When Yu Zhenshen walked over, he never expected that Qin Yun, who had been hit by the hidden weapon, was completely unharmed and even countered by flinging the weapon back.

The transparent hidden weapon was specially refined, rendering it invisible and even evading the arena’s barrier.

Such an intricate forging method was likely only achievable by the Runes Masters within the Profound Domain.

When Yu Zhenshen realized he had been struck by the hidden weapon, his face twisted in shock. When he tried to move, he found himself paralyzed—unable to even speak.

The crowd assumed Qin Yun had been immobilized by some strange martial technique and were eager to see him beaten.

But now, Yu Zhenshen, who had just approached, suddenly froze stiff!

*Slap!*

Qin Yun landed a crushing slap, sending Yu Zhenshen flying!

Seeing this, Long Shengkuang and the other geniuses of the Profound Domain immediately went pale with shock.

Qin Yun wasn’t the one getting pummeled—it was Yu Zhenshen!

The elders of the Profound Domain stared at each other in shock. They all knew Yu Zhenshen had used a hidden weapon—one that never failed.

Yet, Yu Zhenshen had failed, and worse, it seemed he had been struck by his own weapon.

Yu Zhenshen crashed to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, clearly severely injured!

"Scum, did you really think no one would see through your tricks?" Qin Yun muttered with a cold sneer. "A lowlife like you dares to threaten Sister Yang?"

*Boom!*

Qin Yun lunged forward and slammed down, stomping on Yu Zhenshen’s thigh!

Yu Zhenshen writhed in pain, his throat choking as he tried to cry out but couldn’t.

As long as he didn’t surrender, the beating could continue!

The hidden weapon Yu Zhenshen had used paralyzed the entire body, rendering even speech impossible.

Qin Yun felt a chill at the terrifying nature of the poison—had he been hit, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Stop! We concede!" one of the Profound Domain’s elders, realizing Yu Zhenshen was utterly defeated, yelled in panic.

*Bang!*

Qin Yun responded with a savage punch to Yu Zhenshen’s face, crushing his features.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Qin Yun kicked Yu Zhenshen into the air and unleashed a relentless barrage of punches.

Blows infused with power, accompanied by countless shadowy strikes, rained down violently on Yu Zhenshen’s body.

After all, Yu Zhenshen was a genius of the Profound Domain—he had cultivated an Immortal Body and wouldn’t be killed so easily!

"Qin Yun, stop this at once!" the Profound Domain elder roared, seeing Yu Zhenshen reduced to a bloody pulp.

Jian Shitian watched coldly, his expression icy and indifferent, paying no heed to the Profound Domain’s group.

Yu Zhenshen crashed to the ground—still alive!

“Die already!” Qin Yun sprang into the air and unleashed the EarthPiercing Shatterstrike Finger toward the ground.

*Crack! Crack!*

A bolt of black light streaked down with an ear-splitting crack, striking Yu Zhenshen's body!

*Whoosh!*

After the explosion, a fierce gale howled, and Yu Zhenshen’s body disintegrated into the gale, scattering as black ash across the arena.

Yu Zhenshen was dead!

A Xuanwu Realm genius—a Martial Lord—had been wiped out so brutally!

Qin Yun’s power left the crowd utterly speechless.

The geniuses from the Xuanwu Realm were all extremely powerful. Long Shengkuang had crushed Jian Nanhu without breaking a sweat earlier.

And this Yu Zhenshen had also seemed incredibly formidable, yet now he’d been reduced to nothing.

The crowd froze, dead silent.

Long Shengkuang swallowed hard, clenched his fists, and cursed under his breath, "I’ll make them pay for this, Yu!"

"Brother Long, what exactly happened to Brother Yu? There's no way he could have lost. Did he even use the tools?" asked another Xuanwu Realm genius.

"I don't know!" Long Shengkuang frowned deeply. "Qin Yun’s gonna die worse!"

Yu Zhenshen's crushing defeat was a slap in the face to the Xuanwu Realm’s smug elders.

Previously, Jian Nanhu had suffered a devastating loss to Long Shengkuang, but at least he survived. Even so, it had instilled fear in the Jian Family and the forces of the Mortal Realm regarding the power of the Xuanwu Realm.

But now, Yu Zhenshen had been killed by Qin Yun!

The Mortal Realm crowd realized that the geniuses from the Xuanwu Realm were not invincible after all.

Jian Shitian dropped the barrier, and the group from the Xuanwu Realm descended with furious expressions.

Jian Shitian stood firmly in front of Qin Yun, his stance unmistakable. He said coldly, "Touch Qin Yun, and none of you walk out alive from the Sword Immortal Manor!"

The Jian Family had pulled out all the stops for the grand Sword Martial Conference, only for Jian Nanhu’s humiliation to have already made them a laughingstock.

Now, Qin Yun was the one who could stand against the geniuses of the Xuanwu Realm, so the Jian Family naturally had to back him to the hilt.

Qin Yun was from the Immortal Armament City, which was allied with the Jian Family.

If Qin Yun won, the Jian Family could at least save some face.

A hunched Xuanwu elder spat, frosty, "Jian Shitian, you saw it yourself. Qin Yun is only at the Lingwu Realm peak, yet he defeated a Martial Lord at the Midstage Xuanwu Realm! That’s impossible!"

"He cheated!"

Qin Yun almost laughed—it was Yu Zhenshen who had used hidden weapons, and they had been provided by these very elders.

Yet now, they were crying foul?

"I never said I was only at the Lingwu Realm peak. You assumed wrong!" Qin Yun retorted.

"Have you truly stepped into the Xuanwu Realm?" The hunchbacked old man sneered. "You're deliberately saying this to cover up the possibility of using hidden weapons or secret tools!"

The members of the Long family also shouted, "Everyone, you be the judge! How could Qin Yun, a Martial Master at the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm, defeat a Martial Lord at the Midstage Xuanwu Realm? He's a Runes Master and an artifact forger—he must have used some mysterious hidden weapon without us noticing!"

From the audience seats, many allies of the Long family also began shouting loudly.

"Jian Shitian, are you going to favor Qin Yun? Well, of course—this Sword Martial Conference was organized by you people. You can do whatever you want! Very well, we withdraw!" The hunchbacked elder from the Xuan Domain sneered.

"If proving I’m in the Xuanwu Realm is all it takes, that’s easy. You must have devices to test Xuanwu Realm strength—bring them out and let me take the test!" Though furious inside, Qin Yun remained calm.

Long Shengkuang also stepped forward, certain that Qin Yun wasn't at the Xuanwu Realm, and shouted, "I am a Martial Lord at the Midstage Xuanwu Realm and will test martial Xuan energy alongside Qin Yun. If his martial Xuan energy falls short of mine, then he must be lying!"

Yang Shiyue stepped up as well, sneering, "Long Shengkuang, your reputation precedes you! Why should you be the standard for this test?"

Long Shengkuang roared, "Yu Zhenshen’s strength was my equal! If Qin Yun could kill Yu Zhenshen, then his martial Xuan energy should match mine! As long as Qin Yun’s martial Xuan energy isn’t too far from mine, we’ll believe he used his true power!"

"Long Shengkuang, I also suspect you used hidden weapons when you defeated Jian Nanhu! Because Jian Nanhu’s strength was comparable to mine. If your martial Xuan energy falls too far behind mine during the test, then you’re the one who used hidden weapons!" Qin Yun shot back coldly.

"Qin Yun, you’re really confident! If your martial Xuan energy surpasses mine, I’ll admit it!" Long Shengkuang laughed loudly.

The Xuan Domain contingent brought out a large drum two meters wide.

Jian Shitian’s side also produced an identical drum—both were devices for testing martial Xuan energy.

Jian Shitian announced, "This is a time-honored device for testing martial Xuan energy. The stronger the martial Xuan energy, the more times the drum will sound when struck!"

"A Martial Lord who has just entered the Xuanwu Realm can make the Xuan energy drum sound ten times with their martial Xuan energy!"

Both the Jian family and the Xuan Domain brought out their Xuan energy drums to conduct two tests, ensuring neither side could rig the test.

Long Shengkuang stepped forward and struck the Xuan Domain’s drum with a single palm.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom!—it sounded fifty-three times one after another!

The crowd erupted in astonishment.

"He’s only at the Midstage Xuanwu Realm, yet he made the drum sound over fifty times! Such martial Xuan energy matches the Late-stage Xuanwu Realm, even approaching its peak!"

"Normally, Midstage Xuanwu Realm martial Xuan energy only sounds around twenty times, thirty at most!"

"The martial geniuses from the Xuan Domain are terrifying!"

"Qin Yun must have used hidden weapons—otherwise, he would never have beaten Yu Zhenshen!"

"Qin Yun still thinks he can surpass Long Shengkuang? He doesn't know his place!"

The crowd also erupted in a chorus of doubt.

Long Shengkuang grinned in triumph, then struck Jian Shitian’s Xuan energy drum with another palm.

This time, it sounded fifty-four times—one more than before!

Jian Shitian, Bao Changshou, and the others all wore ashen faces.

This result had shocked even them.

Jian Shitian knew best—his grandson Jian Nanhu could barely reach forty sounds at most!

Yang Shiyue remained calm. Though unsure of Qin Yun’s current strength, she could see the confidence in his eyes.

Long Shengkuang shouted loudly, "Everyone saw it! This is the Martial Profound Force of our Profound Domain’s genius! Yu Zhenshen's Martial Profound Force was around fifty resonances! Yet Qin Yun managed to defeat Yu Zhenshen—clearly, he used hidden weapons!"

An elder from the Profound Domain sneered, "If Qin Yun truly used hidden weapons, then today, no matter what, we will make him pay with his life!"

The crowd in the stands exploded into uproar, with many cursing Qin Yun for his shamelessness.

The Profound Domain bunch knew exactly how to rile up the crowd.

Qin Yun asked, "If Long Shengkuang possesses such strong Martial Profound Force, could he possibly be at the Late-stage Xuanwu Realm?"

Long Shengkuang scoffed, "Qin Yun, if I were Late-stage Xuanwu Realm, do you think Jian Shitian and the others would’ve missed it?"

Qin Yun nodded and said, "In that case, if my Martial Profound Force is stronger than yours, don’t go claiming I’m at the Late-stage Xuanwu Realm!"

"Qin Yun, are you still dreaming? What a joke! With your level, you think your Martial Profound Force can surpass mine? I am the strongest Midstage Xuanwu Realm Martial Lord!" Long Shengkuang sneered arrogantly.

Qin Yun walked up to the Profound Force Drum in front of Jian Shitian, ready to begin the test. Those who had been cursing him fell silent.

Tens of thousands held their breath, watching Qin Yun in silence as they awaited his result!
