After a night of rest, the next round would be the fierce and cruel competition for the top four. At this point, the elites of the various divisions were left behind. It was definitely not easy to win.
Tian Buyi paid special attention to it today."Lingxuan, your opponent today is Qi Hao. I don't think I need to tell you about his cultivation level. He was already at Jade Pure Level Nine two years ago, and I'm afraid he's even higher now. Xiao Fan, your opponent today is Chang Jian. I don't think I need to tell you about his cultivation. You should pay more attention to him.”
"Understood. I will not disappoint you, Master."”
Su Ru smiled as she walked past." Just try your best. Don't get hurt."”
"Thank you for your concern, master's wife.”
After Ling Xuan finished speaking, he went to the 'Qian' stage while Zhang Xiaofan stayed at the 'Kun' stage near the people of Big Bamboo Peak.
。Tian Buyi looked around and saw that there were quite a number of Long Sect disciples in the surrounding crowd. Presumably, because Chang Jian of the Long Sect was competing today, there were more Long Sect disciples who came to watch. However, he did not see many Long Sect elders. The Qingyun Sect's sect master, Daoist Dao Xuan, was not here either.
Tian Buyi frowned and whispered to Su Ru,""Why isn't Sect Leader Shixiong here? Are there any other disciples competing in the Long Sect?”
Su Ru shook her head." I don't know why this year, but the disciples of the Long Gate are not very talented. Now, there's only Chang Jian left.”Tian Buyi pondered for a moment and walked to the center of the stage. There were five or six chairs there, but only a white-bearded old man was sitting there. Seeing Tian Buyi and the others arrive, the old man stood up.
The old man looked at Zhang Xiaofan." Junior Brother Tian, I didn't expect to have two outstanding disciples this year. Congratulations!" Other than Lingxuan, Zhang Xiaofan was also young and promising. Not bad.”
"No, no, Senior Fan, you flatter me." Tian Buyi quickly smiled.”Then, the two of them chatted happily again.
Zhang Xiaofan slowly walked up to the ring. He stood on the ring alone, but the audience was still discussing. At first, he was just in a daze, but after a while, even Zhang Xiaofan realized that something was wrong." His opponent had yet to arrive.
Below the stage, the disciples of the Long Gate were especially anxious. Most of them turned their heads to look around. At this moment, a disciple of the Long Gate ran over quickly from afar. His expression was anxious. Ignoring the strange gazes of the people around him, he rushed to the side of the white-bearded old man and hurriedly whispered a few words into his ear.
The white-bearded old man's expression changed drastically as if he could not believe it. He asked,"Really?"
The disciple glared at the stage and finally nodded heavily. The white-bearded old man's face instantly turned ashen, and he fell onto the chair with a dejected expression. Tian Buyi saw this and was puzzled. What happened?”
The white-bearded old man looked at him weakly and let out a long sigh. He pulled himself together and stood up again. He said in a clear voice,"Disciple Chang Jian of the Long Gate, because he was too heavily injured in yesterday's competition, he is unable to get up and will forfeit today's competition.”
There was silence on and off the stage.
Tian Buyi was also surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Xiaofan to be so lucky to be able to enter the top four so easily.
However, they were immediately overjoyed. No matter what, at least they had advanced. The entire Great Bamboo Peak was overjoyed. Su Ru smiled at Duotian Buyi and said,"This little disciple is really lucky." Let's go and see Lingxuan quickly. That Qi Hao is really not easy to deal with.”
Tian Buyi nodded and brought everyone to see Ling Xuan.
Qi Hao and Ling Xuan stood on the stage. Qi Hao held the ice while Ling Xuan held the jade flute and carried a sword on his back. Both of them had imposing auras and were handsome. In terms of handsomeness, Ling Xuan should be better!
"Junior Brother Lingxuan, I didn't expect to meet you so quickly.”
"Senior Brother Qi, I'm also very surprised. I'm really unlucky to have met such a great enemy like you. Please show mercy, Senior Brother Qi.”
"What are you talking about? Junior Brother Lingxuan, please show mercy. This sword is called Ice. Please enlighten me.”After saying that, Qi Hao charged at Ling Xuan with a frosty sword aura.
Ling Xuan pushed with his hand and condensed a Tai Chi pattern to block the sword qi. It was obvious at a glance that this was a level that could only be achieved by the Shang Qing Dynasty.
"Junior Brother's cultivation is good. You're actually already in the Supreme Pure Realm.”
When the audience heard this, they all looked at each other. No one would believe that a guy who had entered the sect for ten years had actually reached the Shang Qing level that others took hundreds of years to reach! However, since Qi Hao had already said it, they had no choice but to believe him.
"Senior Brother Qi, you flatter me. I have just entered Shang Qing.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he used Shaoyang Sword Qi. Tens of thousands of sword qi surrounded Ling Xuan. Ling Xuan pointed with his Grievance, and the tens of thousands of sword qi instantly shot out at Qi Hao.
Thousands of sword qi arrived in an instant. Seeing that the sword qi was coming straight at him, Qi Hao did not panic. He condensed ice into a wall and tried to block it. Who knew that the power of Ling Xuan's Shaoyang Sword Qi was not to be trifled with? The ice wall shattered upon contact. Qi Hao hurriedly dodged in shock, avoiding the ten thousand sword Qi.
Qi Hao was already at ease. With his fast pace and deep cultivation, he barely dodged it. Who knew that after the sword Qi was dodged by Qi Hao, it turned around and attacked again. In his panic, Qi Hao drew a Tai Chi pattern with his left hand and another with the Ice Sword in his right hand. He then merged the two together, greatly strengthening the green light and power of the Tai Chi pattern. Ling Xuan was also secretly shocked. He did not expect Qi Hao to not only reach the first layer of the Shang Qing Realm, but he also used the method of complementing Yin and Yang to draw two Tai Chi patterns to fuse and strengthen the power to resist the Shaoyang Sword Qi. However, whether the power could be blocked was really something to look forward to.
The crowd below the stage had long been dumbfounded, staring straight at the two people on the stage.
The 10,000 rays of sword qi gave off a red light and quickly collided with the Taiji pattern. They slowly dissipated, and the Taiji pattern slowly dimmed. Sparks flew with every collision. In the end, Qi Hao still managed to block it, but his body shook as well. Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
Daoist Cang Song saw that Qi Hao was already in the midst of a bitter battle and could not help but reveal a displeased expression. He thought about how Ling Xuan, this brat, was originally in his pocket, but the cooked duck actually flew into Tian Buyi's mouth. Now that he had injured his beloved disciple, he was even more displeased.
Qi Hao finally felt at ease when he saw that he had finally received the Shaoyang Sword Qi. He was secretly surprised at how powerful Lingxuan was.
Ling Xuan said to Qi Hao,"Senior Brother Qi's Dao is powerful. You've already reached the level of Shangqing. Congratulations."”
" You're too kind, Junior Brother." Qi Hao smiled faintly." I've just broken through to Level 1 Upper Clarity as well."”
In fact, Qi Hao was indeed at the first level of the Shang Qing Realm, but he had only just started at the Shang Qing Realm and had not completed all of the first level of the Shang Qing Realm. However, Ling Xuan was truly at the third level of the Shang Qing Realm and was heading towards the fourth level.
Qi Hao then changed his mind and stepped on the Seven Stars. He took seven steps and pointed his sword at the sky.
"Nine Heavens Black Slaying, turn into divine lightning.
Brilliant heavenly might, lead it with the sword!"
In a moment, the originally clear sky darkened. Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, rolling non-stop. Thunder rumbled, and lightning kept flashing at the edge of the dark clouds, galloping between heaven and earth. It was a somber scene, and a strong wind blew.
In the sky, the thunder became more and more intense. Dark clouds pressed down, and a huge vortex slowly appeared in the thick clouds.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Qi Hao stood in the middle of the lightning, and a bolt of lightning struck Qi Hao's Ice Sword. Then, Qi Hao turned the ice, and several bolts of lightning were attracted to the ice. Then, the sky exploded with thunder, and a huge lightning pillar struck towards Ling Xuan.
"Boom!"
The huge lightning pillar hit the stage, making a huge roar and emitting dazzling lightning.
In an instant, the arena and Ling Xuan disappeared into the lightning.
Everyone was shocked and worried about Ling Xuan's safety. Tian Buyi also stared at Cang Song with hatred. Cang Song's face was full of smiles and he had a smug expression.
After the lightning bolt, Qi Hao was also exhausted as he stood in the air.
The arena had long been in a mess, and Lingxuan was also lying on the ground. His clothes had a trace of burnt smell and were in tatters.
The elder who was the referee looked at the stage and was about to announce Qi Hao's victory. Tian Buyi was also prepared to immediately carry Ling Xuan back and treat him carefully. At this moment, Lingxuan slowly got up, greatly surprising everyone.
No one had thought that Ling Xuan could actually still get up after being hit by Qi Hao's Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation True Spell! For Chang Kuang, even if he didn't die, he would be heavily injured.
Lingxuan slowly stood up and smiled."Senior Brother Qi is really amazing. The power of this move is really shocking. I'm afraid that without this sword blocking most of the power when the lightning fell, I probably wouldn't have been able to make it. Senior Brother Qi, this sword is called the Deep Rainbow. Please enlighten me.”
Qi Hao was shocked. He saw Ling Xuan holding a white immortal sword in his hand. The sword was surrounded by clouds and mist, and it was full of immortal aura. The ice in his hand was faintly intimidated by it.
This was the first time everyone had seen Ling Xuan use an immortal sword. Ling Xuan originally did not want to use this sword because his Love Calamity could still be used with a big move, Dragon's Roar to the Ninth Heaven. However, since this sword had automatically unsheathed itself to protect its master, he would use this sword to test the sword light.
As soon as the sword appeared, his entire body was instantly refreshed. The cloud qi on the sword floated around his entire body, and he looked extremely domineering, as if he was the ruler of the world.
"Senior Brother Qi, look at you!”
With a flash of white light, the Abyss Rainbow in Ling Xuan's hand pointed into the sky. Then, the wind and clouds changed drastically. Countless Qi swords hanging upside down in the sky were waiting for Ling Xuan to control them before falling down at the same time. The power of this sword technique was extremely powerful, and its attack range was also extremely wide. It was almost impossible to escape if one was within it. This sword technique was one of the Qingyun Sect's four great sword techniques, the Heaven-slaying Sword Qi. Although its power was not as powerful as the God-slaying Sword Formation, there were probably not many people in the world who could withstand this move.
Daoist Dao Xuan was already extremely surprised. Firstly, Ling Xuan was seriously injured by the Divine Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell. Secondly, Ling Xuan had taken out his own immortal sword, Yuan Hong. It was one of the divine artifacts left behind by the Heaven Realm that he had seen in the ancient records. Thirdly, Ling Xuan had entered the sect for ten years and had actually learned the Qingyun Sect's supreme true technique. And now, there was only him, Tian Buyi, Wan Jianyi, Zeng Shuchang, and the Water Moon Society. This kid was really not simple.
Ling Xuan held the deep rainbow and slashed it down forcefully. In the sky, countless sword qi fell. Qi Hao was Cang Song's favorite disciple, so he naturally could not stand the humiliation. He was proud and unwilling to admit defeat. Qi Hao conjured an ice wall in the air and drew two Tai Chi patterns with his left and right hands. He fused the two patterns together in an attempt to resist, but to no avail. Fortunately, Lingxuan knew his limits and allowed him to be seriously injured without taking his life. He put away the sword technique in time, or else Qi Hao would have died on the spot.
After Qi Hao was seriously injured, Ling Xuan also flew into the air and caught him. He slowly descended and handed Qi Hao to Cang Song.
Although Cang Song was furious, he could not make things difficult for a junior. He snorted and carried Qi Hao back.
Immediately after, the people of Great Bamboo Peak cheered. Even Tian Buyi could not help but praise Ling Xuan. Su Ru also came over to ask about Ling Xuan's injuries. Everyone present felt that Ling Xuan would definitely be crowned this time.
The top four spots were finally out. They were Zeng Shushu, Lu Xueqi, Zhang Xiaofan, and Ye Lingxuan. Considering that everyone would need to rest after the battle, the martial arts competition would continue three days later.
The Dragonhead Peak was completely wiped out. Daoist Cang Song's face was extremely ugly as he read out the list of the top four."Big Bamboo Peak's Zhang Xiaofan versus Feng Hui Peak's Zeng Shushu, Small Bamboo Peak's Lu Xueqi versus Big Bamboo Peak's Ye Lingxuan. The competition will continue in three days."
