Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 124 The Final Showdown
A fierce battle is about to unfold. Both sides are aware of each other's killing intent and will no longer hold back in their fight.

Number Fifty launched a full-scale suppressive attack, seizing control of the entire field with his massive physique. He suppressed Lan Tian, ​​preventing him from retaliating for the time being, forcing him to retreat step by step, adopt a full defensive posture, minimize damage, and conserve his strength to wait for the right opportunity to strike.

In the four matches so far, Blue Sky has delivered an absolutely brilliant performance, showing no sign of complacency.

The fight between Blue Sky and Number Fifty is now a close-quarters melee. The opponent's massive right hand sent Blue Sky, shield and all, flying into the arena and burying him underground. But Blue Sky is no pushover; he stubbornly endures the blows. In close combat, the opponent has a clear advantage, forcing Blue Sky into a purely defensive stance. His spear is completely useless, leaving him constantly on the defensive.

This can't go on. Being beaten up repeatedly is too frustrating, and Lantian can't stand it.

He sheathed his spear and immediately summoned the Divine Sword of Light. Golden rays erupted from the ground, shooting straight into the sky. The Divine Sword of Light descended from the sky into the crater in the blue sky, just moments after being driven into it by Company Fifty. Now, the sword landed steadily in the blue sky's hand, gleaming with golden light and possessing astonishing power that shook the entire arena. Another divine artifact! This left the audience in awe. Who was this person?! Several divine artifacts appeared in quick succession, each more powerful than the last, making the battle increasingly exciting!

"Light...Cut...Slash"

Lan Tian pressed forward, wielding the Divine Sword of Light and unleashing a devastating strike, giving his opponent no chance to defend. At that moment, Number Fifty was paralyzed by Lan Tian's series of actions and had no time to adjust his state or activate his defensive shield skill before the sword intent had already closed in. That murderous aura was absolutely unstoppable and unbearable! If he were to be killed, he would surely face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. He was invincible and didn't know what to do!
In a flash, the opponent made a self-sacrificing move, using his massive left hand to block Lan Tian's Radiant Slash. The sword intent passed silently, causing a stir among the crowd; the divine sword had already struck. *Crack!* The bloodied left hand severed and fell to the ground. The divine sword continued its slash towards the opponent's left shoulder blade, silently severing his entire left arm. Blood gushed forth; the scene was extremely bloody and cruel, a gruesome sight.

The entire operation was completed in an instant. Number Fifty's entire left arm was gone, and he was screaming in pain, completely reverting to his original appearance.

Just as Lan Tian was about to finish off Number Fifty, a bright red light suddenly shone from him, and a powerful regenerative force surged in from all directions, flowing into Number Fifty's body. The severed limbs that had fallen to the ground instantly began to revive and grow back, returning to their original positions, just as before, and even stronger!

"Impossible, how could this be!" Lan Tian said in bewilderment.

"Hahaha, you can't kill me! I am immortal and can live forever!" Number Fifty roared at the blue sky.

"Uh, then beat you until you can't live forever." Without hesitation, Lan Tian attacked immediately. After a flurry of sword flashes, Number Fifty was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, and was a bloody mess.

As soon as he paused, Lan Tian saw Number Fifty begin to regenerate again. His wounds were healing at a visible speed, his body was growing taller little by little, and his strength was increasing by leaps and bounds.

"This is unbelievable!" Lan Tian roared. In an instant, Number Fifty was back to normal and accelerated towards Lan Tian with a full-force attack. Lan Tian had no time to dodge and was sent flying, crashing into the arena wall and smashing a large hole in it. Lan Tian saw stars, blood trickling from his mouth, and he was struggling to defend himself. This wouldn't do. If this continued, Lan Tian couldn't keep up. An unkillable monster—was he really unkillable?
"Fine! Since I can't kill him, I'll devour him and make him a part of me. Let's see how you change then." Lan Tian remembered his Devouring Darkness attribute, a mysterious ability that could devour all matter and transform it into his own strength, converting the opponent's attributes and skills into his own.

However, Lan Tian couldn't devour him directly in public like this, as that would allow the Shura Empire to hold him accountable, which would damage relations between the two countries and easily lead to conflict. He needed to do it discreetly, without being discovered, before using the devouring skill.

Just as Lan Tian was pondering how to devour his opponent in a concealed manner, Number Fifty launched his earth-attribute skill attack. In an instant, the earth crumbled and the solid earthen wall rushed directly towards Lan Tian, ​​determined to bury him within it and give him no chance to breathe.

Without hesitation, Lan Tian activated his whirlwind skill, stirring up the entire arena into a storm, darkening the sky, and causing sand and stones to fly everywhere, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

The opportunity has arrived. Blue Sky has found a perfect chance to devour his opponent. Under such cover, the audience can't see anything, can't see what will happen, and doesn't know what's going on in the arena. This way, he can devour his opponent without anyone noticing. After disappearing into thin air, his opponent will leave nothing behind and will be nowhere to be found in the arena. I wonder what the referee will think and what he will do!
Lan Tian didn't think too much about it. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lan Tian directly located himself next to Number Fifty and teleported there. Without Number Fifty's knowledge, he used the power of darkness to unleash his Devouring skill. He placed his left hand on Number Fifty's body and used the powerful Devouring skill to absorb his power. Lan Tian's left hand formed a huge black hole, continuously sucking away all of Number Fifty's energy.

Upon contact, Number Fifty was still able to move, unaware of what was happening. He discovered that his energy was being continuously drained away. Even his immortality couldn't replenish the energy he was losing, and his body was rapidly disappearing. He began to feel afraid, wanting to escape this control, otherwise he would be completely drained, leaving nothing behind, and nothing could help him! Number Fifty was now unable to move or even cry out, helplessly watching as Blue Sky devoured all his energy and attribute skills, transforming them into Blue Sky's own immortality. This was a rare attribute-boosting skill for Blue Sky, an absolute treasure he had found.

Time couldn't be allowed to pass too long, otherwise others would easily notice the anomaly and discover something amiss. Lan Tian accelerated his absorption, wasting not a single ounce of energy, and completely devoured Number Fifty. From then on, Number Fifty would cease to exist. Lan Tian immediately felt his body begin to change. The immortality merged, fused, and blended with Lan Tian's body, eventually becoming a part of his entire being, seamlessly integrated, as if this attribute skill had originally belonged to Lan Tian and had been reborn within him.

Once everything was devoured, the performance began. To prevent those present from noticing anything amiss, Lan Tian launched a fatal attack on himself, making it appear as if he had been severely struck and was powerless to retaliate, coughing up blood in a pitiful state.

……

The smoke cleared, and the arena returned to calm. Lan Tian lay sprawled on the field, a pool of blood on the floor. He was completely unconscious and motionless; it was unclear whether he was still alive. Staff rushed to the stage to attempt resuscitation. This was the first time such a situation had occurred at a competition venue—one person unconscious on stage, another missing. ...

The competition continued. The Shura Empire couldn't produce any evidence to accuse Lan Tian of the missing Number Fifty, and Lan Tian himself had suffered severe injuries and was unconscious. Ultimately, the Shura Empire had no choice but to concede, having no other recourse. However, the loss of a high-level expert and an immortal warrior was indeed a heavy blow!
