Before the decisive battle, a little appetizer called "How Beijing Punishes Traitors."
Looking down at Qin Tian and Walter, Wen Yu slowly narrowed his eyes while constantly adjusting his state.
The so-called decisive battle was bound to be a clash between Wen Yu and Tang Haofei, which Wen Yu intended to reserve for the end—though he didn't want to admit it, he had always been chasing after Tang Haofei's footsteps. Until today, he finally felt confident enough to confront Tang Haofei, the chosen one of this world, head-on, wanting to forcibly seize the title of the strongest in front of everyone, on the most brilliant stage.
The ranking battle was the best opportunity.
But before that, Wen Yu didn't mind letting this group of lower sequences perform well, as it could serve as a warm-up for the final sacred duel...
As the golden armor declared the battle to begin, a pale white Bone Sword suddenly emerged in Qin Tian's hand. He looked at Walter in front of him and silently murmured an apology in his heart. Then, his entire aura changed dramatically!
The Bone Sword in his hand emitted a dazzling brilliance, and the sharp sword qi began to flicker, gradually merging with Qin Tian himself. At the same time, the sharpness emanating from Qin Tian intensified and grew stronger, surpassing the peak that Qin Tian's level of strength should possess at an astonishing speed. As Qin Tian's opponent, Walter could only watch as Qin Tian's momentum soared.
"Concealed sword technique... Are you serious?"
An incredulous exclamation escaped Walter's lips. Before the echoes could fade, Qin Tian's aura had already reached a level that left everyone stunned, even Wen Yu and Tang Haofei, who were watching from the VIP box, couldn’t help but widen their eyes, fixating on the Bone Sword in Qin Tian's hand.
"I'm sorry..."
Qin Tian's body trembled uncontrollably, as if he was enduring immense pressure. It wasn't until he finished saying "I'm sorry" that he slowly raised his right hand and then gently slashed...
It was as if he simply waved his hand, but as Qin Tian did so, the momentum he had just gathered instantly collapsed and dissipated. Then, Qin Tian seemed to have lost all strength and collapsed to the ground.
It was as if nothing had happened. With Qin Tian falling, Walter's body instantly froze, and he made no further movements. The entire arena fell silent. After about three to five seconds, even the audience watching by the Exchange Stone Pillars began to show impatience.
"Is this a fixed match?"
"What the hell, the momentum was so strong just now, but it’s useless…"
"Could it be that he didn’t even hit?"
Various comments surged near the Exchange Stone Pillars. Even in the ranking battle arena, most people did not understand what had just happened. Only Wen Yu and Tang Haofei in Box No. 1 wore serious expressions, their throats collectively tightening.
Indeed, only Tang Haofei and Wen Yu understood the significance of that strike...
"Concealed sword technique? How can there be such a thing!"
Looking at Qin Tian on the arena, seemingly gasping for breath like a dead dog, Tang Haofei glanced at the immobile Walter with a look of grave concern.
Wen Yu, on the other hand, wore a contemplative expression. After a while, he muttered to himself, "Killer Sword... sigh... this is a conceptual kill!"
Since there is a conceptual invincibility—which can also be termed conceptual defense—there must also be a conceptual kill—which can be termed conceptual attack.
As a foundation level skill, the concealed sword technique theoretically shouldn’t produce such an ultimate trump card as a conceptual kill. However, after seven years of nurturing, it has created a qualitative change in weight, and this strike has evolved from merely enhancing power to a kind of one-hit kill conceptual attack.
As for what sparks would fly when conceptual invincibility meets conceptual kill… that still needs to be confirmed by facts.

The arena where Qin Tian and Walter faced each other remained silent for over ten seconds...
