Chapter 85 - Turning Defeat into Victory

A critical moment!

Tuo Ba Ye had no more room to retreat. He roared and unleashed his ultimate move.

"War Dragon Overlord Blade!"

The Zhanhu Knife slashed down from above, the technique simple, yet the blade glow resembled a flying dragon suddenly swooping down.

Yu Jialin was about to attack Tuo Ba Ye, but seeing the overwhelming power of Tuo Ba Ye's attack, he had to protect himself first.

"Mad Demon Blade Technique — Mad Demon Dance!"

Yu Jialin used his defensive ultimate move, creating a chaotic blade glow in front of him, layer by layer, to block Tuo Ba Ye's attack.

"Boom!"

The mighty dragon's aura collided with the blade glow, causing the chaotic layers to explode, unable to withstand Tuo Ba Ye's attack.

"What a powerful attack!" Yu Jialin was shocked.

He dared not take the hit and quickly retreated.

He knew that once he retreated, Tuo Ba Ye would have room to maneuver.

So far, Tuo Ba Ye had only used one move, and it had化解了危机.

Although he hadn't injured Yu Jialin, Tuo Ba Ye was already very satisfied.

This time, he no longer dodged or remained passive. He took the initiative, using the War Dragon Overlord Blade, and began a fierce attack.

The blade glow was like a divine dragon soaring in the sky, pouncing on Yu Jialin.

Each of his attacks was incredibly powerful, like an enraged dragon, shaking the heavens.

Yu Jialin was greatly alarmed and had to defend with all his might. He had been attacking continuously, and his energy was already greatly depleted. If he continued to fight, he feared his energy would be completely drained.

Seeing Tuo Ba Ye finally start to counterattack, Qian Yi smiled. "The captain definitely has a trick up his sleeve. It looks like the 18,000 energy pills will soon be in hand."

"The captain is the best. He was just playing with Yu Jialin," Yang Bin said happily.

"What is Yu Jialin doing? He could have won, but he gave up the attack," Duan Hongfei was very upset.

Bi Yuntian said, "If Yu Jialin continued to attack, he might have won, but he would have been severely injured. He had no choice but to adopt a defensive strategy."

"It seems Tuo Ba Ye is not simple. He could hide for so long before using his ultimate move," Duan Hongfei sighed.

"He was trying to deplete Yu Jialin's energy, risking injury to keep Yu Jialin engaged," Bi Yuntian observed more clearly.

Duan Hongfei was anxious. "Captain, does Yu Jialin still have a chance to win?"

"Of course! Yu Jialin is now fully defending, conserving energy for the final counterattack. It all depends on who can hold out longer," Bi Yuntian said.

Tuo Ba Ye's moves were one after another, using his full strength, which naturally consumed a lot of energy.

Yu Jialin's Mad Demon Blade Technique was very powerful in attack and defense, managing to block Tuo Ba Ye's wave after wave of attacks.

Yu Jialin's full defense also consumed a lot of energy, and soon his energy was almost depleted.

"I absolutely cannot lose like this; I must win," Yu Jialin thought.

The 10,000 energy pills were a small matter, but if he lost, his reputation would plummet, and the situation for the Wind God Team would be dire.

"Roar!" Yu Jialin roared and began to counterattack.

His counterattack was very powerful, causing Tuo Ba Ye's attacks to pause.

However, Yu Jialin did not continue to attack but took the energy recovery pill he had been holding in his mouth, restoring his energy.

The energy recovery pill, a first-grade spirit pill, was enough to restore all of Yu Jialin's energy.

Seeing Yu Jialin become even more fierce, Tuo Ba Ye knew he must have used some means to restore his energy.

"Yu Jialin, you're despicable! You took a pill!" Tuo Ba Ye couldn't help but shout.

"Ha ha! Is taking a pill forbidden in a duel?" Yu Jialin laughed.

The referee said, "During the duel, any spirit weapon can be used, and of course, taking pills is allowed."

Tuo Ba Ye said coldly, "It's not forbidden, but taking a pill, even if you win, is not honorable."

"As long as I can defeat you, I don't care about that. The victor is the king, the loser is the bandit!" Yu Jialin said coldly.

A cold light flashed in his eyes as he began to attack fiercely.

The Mad Demon Blade Technique was unleashed, the blade glow flying everywhere, compressing the space.

Facing Yu Jialin's fierce attack, Tuo Ba Ye did not use the War Dragon Overlord Blade, as it was all offensive moves, using attack as defense. He had to use other blade techniques to block Yu Jialin's attacks.

He knew some other blade techniques, including those of the Tuoba family, but he was not proficient in them.

These techniques, when used, naturally could not block all of Yu Jialin's attacks.

Tuo Ba Ye became even more disheveled, his clothes torn by the blade glow.

Tuo Ba Ye's face was cold. He knew that if he did not use his physical strength, it would be difficult to win.

Even if he used the Overlord Divine Spear, it would be hard to defeat Yu Jialin, as Yu Jialin was at his peak, and Tuo Ba Ye's energy was greatly depleted.

Moreover, Yu Jialin seemed to have a killing intent, each attack aimed at vital points.

Tuo Ba Ye was also angry. Since the other party wanted to kill him, he would definitely counterattack.

Deciding, Tuo Ba Ye stopped defending and began a frenzied attack, not following any pattern.

The Mad Demon Blade Technique met a chaotic attack, the blade glow flying everywhere, making it impossible to see the figures on the stage.

Tuo Ba Ye used the blade glow to cover his movements, ignoring Yu Jialin's attacks, and suddenly rushed to his side.

"I kick you!"

Yu Jialin was shocked to see Tuo Ba Ye suddenly appear beside him.

Tuo Ba Ye kicked him repeatedly in the chest, and Yu Jialin heard the sound of bones breaking. His body lost control and flew off the stage.

Yu Jialin was hit by over ten kicks, his bones broken, and he fainted in mid-air.

"Boom!" Yu Jialin landed and woke up in pain: "Ah..."

Because the blade glow was flying everywhere, no one saw how Yu Jialin was defeated, even the referee was stunned.

The referee had been biased towards Yu Jialin and, seeing him about to win, had not paid attention. If Yu Jialin had used a killing move, he could have claimed not to have seen it.

In the end, he did not see how Yu Jialin was defeated and could not help even if he wanted to.

This was also because Tuo Ba Ye had held back; otherwise, Yu Jialin would have died.

Of course, he wasn't that kind-hearted. If Yu Jialin died, where would he get the energy pills?

Given his character, if Yu Jialin had a killing intent, killing him would be nothing, but for the energy pills, he held back.

Tuo Ba Ye walked off the stage and directly approached Yu Jialin.

"Captain Yu Jialin, give me the energy pills. You can't welsh on the deal!" Tuo Ba Ye smiled.

"Tuo Ba Ye, you cheated!" Yu Jialin roared.

"Ah!" He roared, causing his injuries to worsen, and he screamed in pain.

Tuo Ba Ye laughed. "Both of us! You also took a pill, so we're even. But since you lost the duel, you must give me the energy pills."

The people around them looked at Tuo Ba Ye and Yu Jialin, not knowing what was happening.

Yu Jialin did not want people to know he was welshing on the deal. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he had to take out the energy pills and hand them to Tuo Ba Ye.

"Tuo Ba Ye, we're not done!" Yu Jialin's voice was cold, his hatred for Tuo Ba Ye reaching its peak, deep in his bones.

"Anytime!" Tuo Ba Ye took the energy pills and left.

Seeing Tuo Ba Ye's departing back, Yu Jialin's eyes glinted with a cold light.

In the stands, many strong people were stunned.

Yu Jialin had the upper hand, and victory seemed certain, but in the end, Tuo Ba Ye turned defeat into victory. What happened?

"Impossible! Yu Jialin lost! My energy pills!..." Many strong people wailed.

"Yu Jialin, you scoundrel! I bet all my energy pills on you, and you lost to a newcomer!" A strong person's eyes turned red, and he cursed.

As for those who bet on Tuo Ba Ye's victory, they naturally cheered.

"Tuo Ba Ye! Tuo Ba Ye! Dark horse! Dark horse!..."

"Tuo Ba Ye, well done!"

The most frustrated was Duan Hongfei, who had lost 18,000 energy pills to Qian Yi.

"Yu Jialin is useless, making me lose 18,000 energy pills," Duan Hongfei said angrily.

Bi Yuntian said, "You're wrong. Yu Jialin did his best. He even took an energy recovery pill, but still failed. Tuo Ba Ye must have had a trump card. The chaotic blade glow made it impossible to see what happened."

"I just can't accept it!" Duan Hongfei was still very angry.

"Let it go. It's just 18,000 energy pills," Bi Yuntian said.

"Yes, Captain."

Qian Yi, who had won 18,000 energy pills, was very pleased. "To suddenly have so many energy pills is great!"

He spoke loudly, making sure Duan Hongfei heard.

Duan Hongfei, who had just calmed down, was so angry that he almost burst out.

Bi Yuntian stepped in, holding Duan Hongfei back, making him calm down.

"Let it go. If you lost, you lost. Saying more is just showing you can't accept defeat."

"I will win back the 18,000 energy pills," Duan Hongfei calmed down.

Tuo Ba Ye returned to the stands, and Yang Bin and others came to congratulate him.

"Captain, congratulations on advancing to the fourth round!"

"Captain, you're amazing. You could turn defeat into victory in a critical moment."

"Thank you! Yang Bin, go collect the bets. Now we finally have energy pills." Tuo Ba Ye was very happy.

"Yang Bin, help me collect my bet. Captain, I will contribute 10,000 energy pills for everyone's cultivation," Qian Yi said.

Tuo Ba Ye did not refuse. "Qian Yi, I won't be polite. I'll thank you on behalf of everyone!"

Qian Yi had won 36,000 energy pills, and giving 10,000 was not a big deal for him.

He said calmly, "Captain, if we need more energy pills, just let me know."

"Good! I won't be polite," Tuo Ba Ye smiled.

Lei Ting suddenly asked, "Tuo Ba Ye, how did you win? Could it be that..."

"You guessed right!" Tuo Ba Ye quickly said.

He knew what Lei Ting was about to say and quickly interrupted her. He was a body cultivation expert, and this information could not be revealed yet.

The third round of the duel ended quickly. As soon as the duel ended, the jade slip showed the next opponent.

Tuo Ba Ye looked and was somewhat surprised.

"Tuo Ba Ye, your fourth-round opponent is Duan Hongfei. Please prepare!"

Duan Hongfei clearly saw the jade slip and stared at Tuo Ba Ye, his eyes filled with excitement.
