Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in the audience.
The three Kong Ju from the Cangwu Sect and the three Yuan Xiao from the Cuijin Sect stood on the fighting arena which was nearly a hundred feet in radius.
The casting material of the martial arts arena is extremely special. The whole body is as white as jade, and it is reinforced by formations. It is said that attacks below the Ascension Wheel Realm will hardly leave any marks on it.
In order to verify the truth of the rumor, Kong Ju, who stood on the fighting arena for the first time, stomped his feet lightly. From the heavy feedback coming from the soles of his feet, he indeed felt the unusualness of this fighting arena.
Before he could study it carefully, He Xijin's familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
The deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall became the referee of this competition. He descended from the sky holding a lottery tube and walked in front of the six people.
"Please ask the six disciples to come forward and draw lots to determine the order of the competition."
Hearing this, Kong Ju's eyes were fixed on the stick tube in He Xijin's hand, which was made of some unknown wooden material. He had heard from Shangguan Yuzhou that this stick tube was also a magical tool, and unless a great being at the Palm of Life Realm could use his divine sense to spy on it, it would be impossible to cheat.
This undoubtedly ensures the fairness of the draw.
In this way, Kong Ju and the other five people stepped forward one by one and drew their own bamboo sticks.
Kong Qi's eyes moved downward and he saw the character "乙" at the end of his bamboo stick.
Shangguan Yuzhou's character is "甲".
Fang Jianxing's name is "Bing".
"Show your signature!" As He Xijin's order came down.
The three people from Kong Ju and the three people from Cuijin Gate simultaneously showed the words on the end of the bamboo sticks.
When Kong Ju's eyes swept across the bamboo sticks of the three people from Cuijinmen, his eyebrows raised uncontrollably.
Yuan Xiao showed a smile of fulfillment.
His eyes moved to the words on the bamboo stick in Yuan Xiao's hand, which showed a big "乙".
Kong Ju pursed his lips, but he was not panicking. He just felt a little embarrassed and thought to himself, "This is great. He must want to kill me."
"The first match is between Shangguan Yuzhou and Fei Yuyan."
"In the second scene, Kong Jue and Yuan Xiao."
"The third match is between Fang Jianxing and Shi Yuanxiao."
He Xijin loudly announced the order and opponents of the competition.
This immediately drew cheers from the disciples below.
Those disciples had no idea that, with the staggered performance between Fang Jianxing and Yuan Xiao, the outcome of this competition had become unpredictable.
The people who knew about this were probably only Kong Ju and his two companions, and Huangfu Ying and other senior executives standing on the high platform.
But Huangfu Ying was such a person that there was no sign of emotion on his face. He took Huangfu Wuqin and sat calmly in the spectator seat on the high platform.
"The disciples who participated in the first match will stay, and the rest of you can leave." As He Xijin spoke, Kong Ju and Fang Jianxing quietly left the fighting arena and stood at the edge of the platform.
Only Shangguan Yuzhou and Fei Yuyan were left on the stage.
Off the court, Fang Jianxing looked at the bamboo sticks in Kong Ju's hand with a worried look on his face, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself many times.
Kong Ju saw all of this. He just smiled and said to Fang Jianxing, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Fang. I may not lose."
We have gone through so many storms and it’s just a fight in the ring, a small scene.
As for Fang Jianxing, Kong Ju had never met him before, but after a few days of contact, he felt that this guy was a good person. He had the time to care about himself.
His gaze returned to the ring.
Only Shangguan Yuzhou and Fei Yuyan were left on the fighting field.
The latter looked at Shangguan Yuzhou with an eager look on his face.
Fei Yuyan is naturally proud of herself as she is able to defeat a genius in the late Yanglun realm when she is only in the sixth Yanglun realm.
Even though her opponent was Shangguan Yuzhou, she was not afraid at all.
On the contrary, Shangguan Yuzhou frowned because he missed the competition with Yuan Xiao.
This scene was considered by Fei Yuyan to be an expression of worry about fighting with herself.
She immediately smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, if you admit defeat, we don't have to fight."
Shangguan Yuzhou just looked at the girl in front of him. She was eighteen years old, which was the most beautiful age for a girl.
Fei Yuyan was also quite pretty, with a nice chin that made her look even more attractive, making her a real beauty.
But to Shangguan Yuzhou, who was devoted to swordsmanship, they were all pretty skeletons.
He simply held up three fingers.
Fei Yuyan was slightly stunned, somewhat confused.
"What do you mean, Brother Shangguan?"
“Three swords!” Shangguan Yuzhou was extremely arrogant at this moment, and said in a clear and bright voice: “If you can take my three swords, I will jump down and admit defeat.”
Shangguan Yuzhou's voice was not concealed and was clearly heard around the fighting arena.
Hearing this, the disciples of the Cangwu sect became excited.
"This is the sword genius of our Cangwu sect, he is so arrogant!"
"Brother Shangguan!"
"Brother Shangguan!"
…
The voices cheering for Shangguan Yuzhou shook the mountains and fields.
"Oh no!" Kong Ju cried out that it was not good when he saw this scene.
Fang Jianxing thought Kong Ju was worried about Shangguan Yuzhou's promise, but he was actually very nervous, so he immediately said, "I also think that Senior Brother Shangguan is too impatient. If the three swords cannot be taken down..."
"No!" Kong Ju's eyes turned to Shangguan Yuzhou's tall back on the stage. He could feel that the familiar breath in the underground mineral vein was revived in his body.
"I mean, Fei Yuyan's life or death is uncertain. If she dies, the next two games we have to play will be real life-and-death battles. You better be careful!"
There is no doubt that if Fei Yuyan died at the hands of Shangguan Yuzhou, Yuan Xiao and Shi Yuanxiao would definitely not let Kong Ju and the others have an easy time.
A competition is bound to develop into a life-and-death battle.
The other side.
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, you are too arrogant." Fei Yuyan's face suddenly turned cold.
She was one of the most prominent figures of the younger generation of Cuijin Sect. When had she ever been looked down upon like this?
Shangguan Yuzhou shook his head without explanation, and calmly pulled out the green sword that he had just exchanged for from the training program.
With the long sword in his hand, the sharp edge instantly covered the area within ten feet around him.
Squeak! The invisible sword energy rubbed against the ground of the fighting arena crazily, making a sharp and piercing sound.
The area covered by his sword energy has become a restricted area for others.
Fei Yuyan's eyes were filled with panic when she saw this scene.
Although he didn't understand what Shangguan Yuzhou was doing, a strong sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.
Before she could get over her fear.
"This is the first sword!" Shangguan Yuzhou had already raised the sword, and he casually slashed it in the air towards Fei Yuyan who was more than ten feet away.
Bang! The bright silver sword light was like a streak of silk, gushing out from where the sword pointed.
The blinding light caused the disciples who were watching nearby to be temporarily blinded in an instant.
Only Kong Ju saw clearly the momentum of the sword. The sword energy, dozens of feet long, rushed out from the sky and slashed towards Fei Yuyan.
It is so fast that it arrives in an instant.
The latter took out a fan-shaped magical weapon made of feathers, and responded hastily, fanning it fiercely towards the sword energy.
Whoosh! A strong wind suddenly blew up on the field.
The hurricane took shape and turned into a tornado, ten feet high.
Form a wind wall that can be used for both offense and defense, in an attempt to block the sword.
However, the tornado that seemed to be so powerful was nothing in front of the sword light.
It was pierced through in an instant and slashed towards Fei Yuyan behind.
Puff! Blood splattered.
Where the sword light went out, only a pool of blood and the fan-shaped magic weapon that was cut in half were left.
The essence of blooming silver absorbed by Shangguan Yuzhou has a very strong destructive effect on magical weapons and defensive Taoist spells.
With Shangguan Yuzhou's sword skills, he was able to cut off the seemingly extraordinary magic weapon.
However, Fei Yuyan's men disappeared when the sword fell.
"Where is she?" Fang Jianxing, who was next to Kong Ju, narrowed his eyes and did not find Fei Yuyan on the court.
Kong Ju raised his head at this moment, staring straight into the air, and explained softly, "In the sky!"
Fang Jianxing quickly looked up.
But Fei Yuyan, covered in blood, had already taken off into the air and was flying in the fighting arena.
Behind her shoulders, there is a pair of wings condensed with spiritual power.
That is the uniqueness of Feng Yu Can Xi, which ranks outside the top 300 of the essence of human character in the world.
This essence of heaven and earth, with the help of Taoist magic, can actually make the practitioner fly like a bird.
Fei Yuyan was clearly seriously injured by the sword, with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
But the fear in his eyes was gone, only endless rage.
Fei Yuyan has reached the level of being able to fly at the Yanglun realm, which will undoubtedly give her a great advantage in battle.
Fei Yuyan had been hovering above Shangguan Yuzhou, constantly making seals with her hands as she flew.
It made her fly faster and faster.
It was so close that Fang Jianxing could only see a residual image.
Only Kong Ju and the disciples in the first echelon could clearly see Fei Yuyan's whereabouts.
Whoosh! The wind is blowing again.
Even bigger waves erupted from the fighting arena.
The hair and clothes of the disciples below the stage were blown wildly by the wind, and the disciples who were closer to the fighting arena were even unable to stand steadily.
"The remnant of wind!"
Finally, when the strong wind gathered to a climax, Fei Yuyan's spell that he had prepared for a long time flew out.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Swish!
Countless wind blades gushed out from the whirlwind stirred up by Fei Yuyan and shot towards Shangguan Yuzhou who was standing there without moving.
The latter seemed to have been waiting for Fei Yuyan to make a move.
But after seeing the Taoist technique that she had spent so much time to condense, there was obvious disappointment in his eyes.
"Turn it into rain!" Shangguan Yuzhou's voice sounded.
Squeak, squeak, squeak~ The sound that was so sharp that it made people's scalps tingle instantly spread from ten feet away from Shangguan Yuzhou to the entire martial arts arena.
It seemed as if there were countless tiny sword energies, constantly slashing at every corner of the fighting arena.
Before those dozens of wind blades could get close to Shangguan Yuzhou, they were corroded and torn apart by the sword energy that filled the entire fighting arena.
Including Fei Yuyan who was flying in the sky.
They were all injured by the pervasive sword energy.
With her stunned expression.
Puff!
Flowers of blood bloomed from her body like raindrops.
In an instant, there was no intact part of her body, and it was all stained with blood.
The flying figure was like a bird with broken wings, falling headfirst from mid-air.
He was about to fall onto the fighting arena and be thrown to death.
Whoosh! Taoist Miao Jiang disappeared from the viewing platform and caught her steadily where she fell.
Looking at Fei Yuyan, whose arms were stained with blood and whose life or death was unknown.
Taoist Miao Jiang showed no emotion on his face. He just looked quietly at the young man standing on the platform with a sword in his hand and said one word.
"good!"
He seemed to want to imprint Shangguan Yuzhou's appearance deeply into his mind.
With Taoist Miao Jiang's cultivation level, how could he not see that Shangguan Yuzhou had already understood the meaning of the sword, and that the essence of heaven and earth he absorbed was not simple.
Fei Yuyan’s defeat was not unjust.
Then he took Fei Yuyan and disappeared from the fighting arena.
There was only silence in the whole place.
"In the first battle, the winner is Shangguan Yuzhou!" Until He Xijin announced that the winner was Shangguan Yuzhou.
After a short rest and calm down.
"Brother Shangguan!"
"Brother Shangguan!"
…
Roars that were several times more frenzied than before came one after another from the fighting arena.
Hearing the cheers that shook the sky, Kong Ju looked at Shangguan Yuzhou who was walking towards him from the high platform, with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Shangguan!"
Kong Ju knew how powerful Shangguan Yuzhou was, so he wasn't that surprised.
"Let's not talk about it. Fei Yuyan couldn't last more than three moves against Junior Brother Kong. It was an unfair victory for me to beat her." Shangguan Yuzhou waved his hands nonchalantly, without any joy of a winner.
Instead, he looked worriedly at the young man named Yuan Xiao, one of the two remaining disciples of the Tempering Gold Sect, across the fighting arena.
"That guy is the tricky one. It will be Junior Brother Kong Ju's turn to fight next. Be careful." Shangguan Yuzhou solemnly warned Kong Ju and expressed his guess.
"When I used my sword power just now, his expression didn't change at all. I'm afraid his strength is even stronger than the intelligence said."
"I saw it." Shangguan Yuzhou could see it, so how could Kong Ju not pay attention? He nodded solemnly and put away the last bit of hope in his heart.
He already understood that this opponent was probably the strongest enemy he had encountered since he left the Miscellaneous Book Building, except for Han Dong.
The layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.
Under the high platform, in the first echelon of disciples, Huajian was whispering with Shui Zhusheng about the secrets of Shangguan Yuzhou's sword.
"Junior Brother Shui Zhusheng, what do you think of this sword?"
"Sword intention!" Shui Zhusheng opened his lips slightly and looked at Shangguan Yuzhou who was standing with Kong Ju, his eyes quite melancholy.
"This sword intent is similar to the Tianhe sword intent of the East Immortal Hall Master. Junior Brother Shangguan is only eighteen years old, and his comprehension is better than mine."
"Yes, he is only eighteen years old, but he has understood the meaning of sword. As long as he doesn't die, he will be the next Dongxian." When mentioning Dongxian, both Huajian and Shuizhusheng showed heartfelt respect on their faces.
Suddenly, the charming eyes glanced at Kong Ju, who was with Shangguan Yuzhou at the edge of the fighting arena.
The next battle is between Kong Ju and Yuan Xiao.
"The second battle, Kong Ju versus Yuan Xiao!"
Finally, in He Xijin's voice.
After talking with Shangguan Yuzhou for just a few words, Kong Ju put away the expression on his face, nodded to Shangguan Yuzhou, and took a deep breath.
Slowly stepped onto the high platform leading to the fighting arena.
Behind him, Kong Ju vaguely heard Fang Jianxing's earnest encouragement and Shangguan Yuzhou's solemn voice.
"Brother Kong, we will win!"
"Junior Brother Kong, you have to defeat him on my behalf in this battle!"
Kong Ju did not turn around, but just nodded slightly to indicate that he heard it.
At the same time, Kong Ju's eyes looked to the other side of the fighting arena.
Yuan Xiao, dressed in a yellow robe, also walked leisurely onto the martial arts arena.
It seemed that the failure of his fellow disciple Fei Yuyan from the Tempering Golden Sect had not affected his mood at all, and he looked calm.
But Kong Ju still saw a hint of coldness like a poisonous snake in his seemingly calm eyes.
On the viewing platform.
When Huangfu Wuqin saw Kong Ju coming on stage, he slowly put down his left hand, which was originally supporting his handsome chin out of boredom, and there was finally a faint look in his empty eyes.
As the second princess on the Hidden Dragon List, Shangguan Yuzhou's stunning performance seemed to be nothing but ordinary in her eyes.
Only the appearance of that young man seemed to be able to dispel her boredom.
Huangfu Ying, who had been paying attention to his daughter, saw this scene completely and sighed with a little worry.
The disciples watching the fight below the stage had no idea how powerful the opponent Kong Ju was facing this time.
Still immersed in the joy of Shangguan Yuzhou's victory, they shouted at the top of their lungs at the young man on the stage carrying a silver longbow.
"Junior Brother Kong Ju, let him see how powerful our Cangwu Sect is!"
"Junior Brother Kong Ju, you can fight against a master of the seventh level of Yanglun, so you can surely suppress a mere junior from the Cuijin Sect with one hand."
"Don't hold back. Defeat Yuan Xiao in three moves."
…
Yuan Xiao turned a deaf ear to the sounds around him. He just looked at Kong Ju with arrogant eyes and said the same words he had just said to the latter.
"I told you, I hope your strength is half as strong as your mouth."
"Young man, don't hold grudges so much. How can you climb to the top with such a narrow mind?" Kong Ju spread his hands. He was stubborn and continued to provoke the young man in front of him in his own unique way.
He has already come up, and we have to fight anyway, so he can't lose the battle with his words.
However, the voice on Kong Ju's face suddenly stopped with Yuan Xiao's action. Even the expression on his face turned into a deep solemnity at this moment.
Not only him, but even the voices of the disciples watching the match from the audience who were shouting for Kong Ju to defeat Yuan Xiao in three moves were silent at this moment.
The whole place fell into dead silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Yuan Xiao slowly took off the jade hairpin inserted in his hair bun, and the cultivation level that had been suppressed by the jade hairpin rushed out of his body without reservation.
Sweeping the entire fighting arena.
The powerful aura weighed down countless disciples below the stage, causing them to breathe heavily.
"The Eight Realms of Yanglun!" Kong Ju slowly uttered four words, his eyes fixed on the young man named Yuan Xiao.
