Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Tang San's move was simple: squat. Yes, just a squat. It was a move that absolutely surprised all the spectators.

As he squatted, a sudden flicker at his brow; immediately afterwards, a black barrier appeared in front of him. Due to his squatting, this black barrier completely obscured his body from view. In the next instant, the Heavenly Earth Sword had arrived.

"Clang——"

The terrifying clash instantly turned into an unparalleled soundwave that erupted in the arena.

The appearance of that soundwave even distorted the entire arena. The protective cover shook violently under the terrifying tremor of the soundwaves, creating a mass of ripples, to the extent that the spectators couldn't see anything in the arena at that moment.

The dark sky gradually cleared up, but under the intense impact of the soundwave, the protective cover still trembled with ripples for a long while before the ripples slowly dissipated.

What a powerful sword! This sword's phenomenons were even stronger and more rapid than what Qiu Zixuan had caused in the previous two matches.

Is he dead? Did the patriarch of the Blue Gold Tree Clan get killed by that slash? After that last sword fell, there was clearly no sign of Tianyang Spirit King making a move. Without the referee's protection, wasn't that a certain death?

However, as the trembling ripples on the protective cover gradually dissipated, revealing the situation inside the arena, all spectators showed a look of astonishment.

It seemed as if Qiu Zixuan never moved, still standing in the same spot, his black long sword trembled slightly. His face seemed somewhat pale. The always calm him, now had an expression that was somewhat dazed.

And across from Qiu Zixuan, the being whom the spectators thought should have been annihilated by the sword beam, still existed.

Jin Miaolin, the patriarch of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, was still standing there; the ground around his body showed large cracks and collapses. But he was still alive, standing perfectly fine there. And in his hands, there was now a huge shield. The shield was pitch-black, without any glimmer, but just by being there, it gave off an immensely solid sensation.

It was blocked…?

Ning Chenen had not returned to the resting room and was watching this match from outside. Because matches with the Heavenly Earth Sword usually concluded very quickly, he wanted to see how Tang San would lose or even die.

But what did he see? Right now, his jaw was about to drop.

It was blocked? It was blocked...

He couldn't even believe his own eyes. How could it be that the Blue Gold Tree Clan's guy had blocked the immensely powerful Heavenly Earth Sword from Qiu Zixuan?

What was that thing in his hand? Suddenly, Ning Chenen remembered. He knew what it was.

At the auction, the Black Tortoise Shield had been sold at a price that wasn't considered expensive. A shield that hadn't even activated its innate power, only offering defensive abilities. The introduction at that time mentioned that its defensive power was extremely strong, even Emperors could not break through its defense, but no one could wield it due to its immense weight.

At that time, this shield had also participated in an auction, but in the end, it was still thought by everyone to have been purchased by the financially imprudent Blue Golden Tree Clan.

And at this moment, Tang San pressed his hands on the edges of the shield, propping the heavy shield on the ground, actually, actually using this shield to block the Heavenly Earth Sword?

Apart from being beyond belief, Ning Chenen was now simply unable to form any other thoughts.

Is this even possible?

And the audience was even more stunned, from the shield in Tang San's hands, they naturally understood what had happened. At this moment, even the weakest of spectators subconsciously felt, if it were me, I could do it too!

Everyone had even forgotten what Tang San had bought at the super auction, but now, the strength of wealth once again played a role, the Purple Crystal Coin Warrior again proving his actions at the auction reasonable.

Following the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor Statue, he offered up the Black Tortoise Shield, blocking the terrifying attack of the Heavenly Earth Sword.

The expression of the Tianyang Spirit King in the sky was also extremely dramatic. Without employing the Ferocious Dragon, but instead using this shield which he had also attempted to wield but could not draw forth its full potential, he blocked the Heavenly Earth Sword.

Why did he squat? Was it because he couldn't sustain the weight of the shield? You should know, this Black Tortoise Shield, even Emperors had tried it, finding its weight quite formidable, which complicates its maneuverability, and unable to be triggered through divine consciousness or bloodline power, thus, it was sent to the auction. But unexpectedly, Tang San actually used it to block the Heavenly Earth Sword.

In fact, when Tang San realized his opponent was Qiu Zixuan, he knew this match had gotten simpler.

The strength of Qiu Zixuan was indeed formidable, and the Heavenly Earth Sword, purely from an offensive power perspective, might even be one of the strongest attacks among all participants in the competition. However, this person's focus was on increasing the sword beam's offensive power, making his abilities somewhat monotonic. While his one-strike attack power was indeed terrifying, the problem was also very evident, it could only sustain one strike after which a significant amount of time is needed to recover. Hence, as long as you block his attack, naturally, you could defeat him.

To others, the Black Tortoise Shield was actually the existence of a divine shield from the Falan Planet, being the strongest defensive divine tool. The Heavenly Earth Sword was fierce, but it was unlikely to break through the protective power of the Black Tortoise Shield. Not to mention Qiu Zixuan, even if the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor came, as long as the sword beam falls on the Black Tortoise Shield, it too, would fail to break through.

With a somewhat sleazy action, Tang San used his body to support the Black Tortoise Shield, which explained well why he was able to neutralize this sword strike. After all, he showed at least Great Demon King level prowess. The Black Tortoise Shield blocked both the sword beam and sword intent, with just the impact force being trivial, let alone that most of the impact force was dissipated by the Black Tortoise Shield.

Light flickered in Tang San's hand, and the Black Tortoise Shield vanished into thin air. It wasn't stored into a storage ring. Such a high-level item like the Black Tortoise Shield couldn't be contained by a storage ring. Instead, it directly disappeared into the runes at the center of his forehead. The next moment, he had leapt up, rushing straight towards Qiu Zixuan.

Qiu Zixuan, looking at Tang San radiating blue-golden light, showed a hint of bitterness at the corners of his mouth, and solemnly said: "I concede."

After unleashing the full power of the Heavenly Earth Sword, all the strength left in him was just enough to barely walk away. No matter how inept at fighting the Blue Golden Tree Clan might be, that was still Great Demon King level strength, a punch from them could also take him away. That was his fighting style, undoubtedly powerful, but also with a very fatal flaw. But this was his choice, and it was exactly this method that made him become the strongest of the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor under the Red-crowned Crane Demon lineage.

"Victory for Blue Golden Tree Clan's Jin Miaolin!" Tianyang Spirit King descended from the sky, blocking between the two. His gaze fell on Tang San, "You really do surprise me!"

Tang San chuckled, saying, "Your Majesty flatters me, it's just good luck."

Indeed, at this moment in the eyes of all spectators, his victory in this battle was probably all thanks to luck. Anyone holding the Black Tortoise Shield, this absolute defensive power facing the Heavenly Earth Sword, could probably block it! And if given a different opponent, what else could he do? The Black Tortoise Shield wasn't flexible enough to deflect everything. If not luck, what else could it be?

At the time of the super auction, no one knew they would encounter a combat style like the Heavenly Earth Sword, otherwise, whoever obtained the Black Tortoise Shield, wouldn't that mean a thorough counter to Qiu Zixuan? And this bargain, was snatched up by this fellow from the Blue Golden Tree Clan.
