"Sister, you are so awesome!"
"Sect Master Jiang, your swordsmanship has improved again."
"It seems that under the leadership of Sect Master Jiang, our Taichu Sword Sect can finally achieve a good result in the Sword Discussion Conference!"
As soon as Jiang Deng returned to the location of the Taichu Sword Sect, a group of people immediately surrounded him and started to show off their magical skills, which they were good at.
Shi Zihang said confidently: "Our most powerful senior brother hasn't even taken the stage yet. If he does, he'll definitely be able to capture him easily!"
"Uh..." Xia Chenqing said embarrassedly, "It's a bit too early to talk about winning or losing now."
There were many cultivators at the late and peak stages of the Nascent Soul Realm present. He expected to be matched with such powerful individuals, and he would most likely be no match for them...
Under Xia Chenqing's worried gaze, the candidates for the fifth game were quickly matched.
Chengfeng from Qixing Villa versus Xia Chenqing from Taichu Sword Sect.
“…”
Xia Chenqing's mouth twitched.
Although I don’t know the level of this sword cultivator named Chengfeng, he is a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm after all, so I think he can’t be too bad.
Seeing that Xia Chenqing had the bad luck to be matched with Baili Chengfeng, Jiang Deng patted Xia Chenqing on the back and said hesitantly, "...Keep going."
Although Chengfeng always chooses to play a supporting role in front of her, the opponent's real strength is very strong.
Compared with Chengfeng, Xia Chenqing is probably still too young. I just hope that later, Xia Chenqing won’t lose too badly.
On the center platform.
The pool of rotten flesh that Huang Zhongtian had turned into had been cleaned up, and the stage had become as pure white and clean as it was at the beginning.
Baili Chengfeng and Xia Chenqing came on stage one after another.
One of them was wearing a moon-white robe, and the other an indigo Taoist robe. As the breeze blew past, their robes fluttered, forming a beautiful landscape.
"Please enlighten me, fellow Taoist."
Xia Chenqing bowed politely.
"Wait a minute."
After Baili Chengfeng stopped Xia Chenqing from raising his sword, he looked at the senior executives above, raised a hand, and spoke in a very calm tone.
"I abstain."
Everyone: “…”
If you give up in your first match, then what's the point of participating in the sword-fighting competition?
"A-Are you sure?"
Yun Haoran was also a little confused.
The fight hasn't even started yet and you've already given up. Isn't that a bit too much of a joke?
Baili Chengfeng didn't show any embarrassment on his face. "As you said before, if you're not a sword cultivator, you can give up."
“…”
Everyone was speechless again. If you are not a sword cultivator, what kind of sword-fighting conference are you attending?
Are they just here to make up the numbers?
“Ouch!”
"Get down! Get down!"
"A coward who deserts the battlefield!"
There were bursts of boos from the audience, but Baili Chengfeng remained calm and had no intention of changing his decision.
Because he is a top-level warrior in the Tribulation Realm, he can disguise his bone age as being under 30 years old. If he really competes with these young people, it would be a bit like bullying the weak.
It is definitely because of this reason, not because he is not a swordsman and cannot use a sword.
Secondly, he had already accomplished the most important thing by coming here - expressing his feelings to Jiang Deng.
Although Jiang Deng did not accept it, it doesn’t matter, he will continue to wait.
As for the news about my mentor?
Judging from Leng Baige's incident, it would be unreliable to disguise himself as someone else and extract information from Duan Chuan. Even if one could really get close to Duan Chuan, due to the huge disparity in their identities and status, one would probably not get any useful answer.
It would be better to just use his original identity. After all, the other party would at least give him and the Lord of the Ancient Spiritual Realm some respect...
"Well, since everyone wants me to go down, I will go down."
Baili Chengfeng smiled slightly, then walked off the stage slowly and leisurely.
Xia Chenqing on the stage was stunned.
He was already prepared to lose the game, but the opponent actually gave up?
"In this battle, Xia Chenqing of Taichu Sword Sect wins!"
Yun Haoran had no choice but to announce the result.
With the victory that came inexplicably, Xia Chenqing walked off the stage in a daze.
"Ride the wind!"
As soon as Baili Chengfeng returned to the Seven Star Villa, he was met with a barrage of scolding from Ye Su. "You came to the Sword Competition through the backdoor, and you surrendered without even firing a single blow? How dare you do that!"
"that is!"
Ye Su's lackey Han Kejin also echoed: "What a waste of our Seven Star Villa's quota!"
Baili Chengfeng blinked and asked doubtfully, "But isn't it because Qixing Villa didn't have enough sword cultivators to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference that I was able to come?"
“…”
Seeing Chengfeng surrendering before even fighting and now starting to shirk responsibility, Ye Su was so angry that her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
"Senior Sister Ye, please calm down!"
Han Kejin immediately supported Ye Su, who was about to fall to the ground, and said, "Your competition is coming soon! We can't let this little bad apple ruin everything!"
“…Junior Brother Han, you are right.”
Ye Su held her forehead and took several deep breaths before she managed to calm herself down.
Unexpectedly, Baili Chengfeng spoke again. He seemed to understand the meaning of what the two said and nodded seriously, "Okay, I understand. Next time, I will fight first before admitting defeat."
Ye Su: “…”
Her eyes rolled back and she was about to faint from anger.
Han Kejin immediately pinched Ye Su's philtrum, "Sister Ye, hold on, you still have a chance to compete!"
…
The first round of the competition ended quickly.
Since everyone was a sword cultivator, there was no wasting time and each game took a very short time.
There are currently sixteen people left, and they are about to start the second round of competition. The second round will consist of eight games, and eight people will be eliminated.
Soon, the candidates for the first game were matched.
Sun Fei of the Taichu Sword Sect versus Han Kejin of the Seven Star Villa.
Han Kejin looked in the direction of the Taichu Sword Sect and smiled evilly.
Sooner or later, Chengfeng will get back the face he lost!
Then the two of them went on stage and started the competition.
Sun Fei's good luck ran out this time. Although Han Kejin's cultivation was suppressed to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he still easily defeated Sun Fei in a few moves.
Dragging his heavy heavy sword, Sun Fei returned to the Taichu Sword Sect with a dejected look on his face. He said in a dull tone, "Sect Master Jiang, I know I was wrong. I'll change my sword when I get back."
Jiang Deng was not surprised by Sun Fei's defeat.
In her opinion, it is not a bad thing for Sun Fei to be hit earlier, so as to prevent him from being too proud as before and falling into a bigger pit later.
“No rush…”
Jiang Deng was about to speak when a sarcastic voice suddenly interrupted her.
"Humph, is this the strength of your Taichu Sword Sect's sword cultivators?"
Han Kejin walked up to the Taichu Sword Sect and said sarcastically, "In my opinion, you should not continue with the rest of the competition. Why not just give the title of the second largest sword sect in the Ten Realms to us, the Seven Star Villa!"
