"Sect Master, you can't change the sect's rules just because Fuyue is your daughter. Besides, cultivating immortality is going against the heavens. She can't even continue this competition today, so how can she talk about cultivating the Great Dao?"
Qian Tianjin flicked his sleeve and declared righteously, "I firmly oppose canceling the competition!"
The elders who were on good terms with Qian Tianjin also spoke up, "Sect Master, we all agree with Elder Qian's point of view."
"If you give up at the first sign of danger, what's the point of cultivating immortality?"
"I beg you, Zong Sansi!"
The elder of law enforcement slammed his hand on the table. "Bullshit! Do you want Fuyue to die?"
"You call yourselves elders? Don't you know that in every sect competition, someone's dantian is destroyed, and they might even lose their life?"
"Qian Tianjin, I'm asking you, are you doing this on purpose? Do you really think we're fools?"
Qian Tianjin sighed helplessly, "If that's how the Enforcement Elder thinks, there's nothing I can do, but a half-step Golden Core cultivator is definitely not a Golden Core cultivator."
Qian Tianjin paused for a moment, then continued, "So as long as I'm here, no one can disqualify my apprentice from the competition."
"Otherwise, you can ask whomever you want for talismans from the Heavenly Profound Sect in the future. I'm going into seclusion anyway."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengming could no longer remain seated.
Qian Tianjin's talisman skills are renowned throughout the cultivation world. What if he is truly angered and betrays Tianxuan Sect to join another sect?
With the start of the competition drawing ever closer, the debate over whether to disqualify Jin Daquan continues unabated.
Elder Dan remained silent, knowing that the sect leader had wavered, making the competition between Fu Yue and Jin Daquan inevitable.
The difference in strength is too great. Losing is a minor matter. The real fear is that Qian Tianjin's goal is to destroy Fuyue.
It seems he needs to keep a close eye on what's happening on the competition stage and step in to save people if necessary.
...
On the competition stage, Lu Fuyue looked at Jin Daquan opposite her and a bad feeling welled up in her heart. Jin Daquan's aura was a bit strange.
When Jin Daquan saw Lu Fuyue looking at him, a cryptic smile appeared on his face.
The time for the competition is drawing ever closer.
On the high platform, the final decision was that the competition would continue, but if any unexpected events occurred, the elders could intervene to stop it.
Lu Zhengming stood up and faced the crowd, announcing loudly, "The third round of the sect competition officially begins."
As soon as the words were spoken,
Jin Daquan suddenly appeared in front of Lu Fuyue with his hammer and slammed it down on her with a speed that was far beyond what one would expect from a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
"Hahaha, Lu Fuyue, you're dead today!"
The disciples below the stage exclaimed, "My God! Could it be that Senior Brother Jin has broken through to the Golden Core stage?"
"It's over, it's over, Senior Sister Lu is finished. What's the point of comparing the difference in strength? Golden Core and Foundation Establishment are two completely different concepts."
...
Lu Fuyue's expression changed drastically; he had actually concealed his cultivation level!
At the same time, no one noticed that red lotus petals appeared beneath Lu Fuyue's feet.
With a loud bang, by the time everyone reacted, the spot where Lu Fuyue had been standing had been smashed into a huge crater, with dust billowing up and obscuring everyone's view.
Everyone present fell silent instantly.
So...Senior Sister Lu is dead?
Elder Dan and the Enforcement Elder reacted immediately, their expressions changing drastically. They hurriedly stood up, ready to avenge Lu Fuyue.
They thought Fu Yue had dodged the attack, which was why they hadn't made a move. They never expected her to just disappear right before their eyes.
However, at that moment, someone shouted, "Look, Senior Sister Lu is not dead!"
"She actually avoided it."
Lu Fuyue's figure suddenly appeared behind Jin Daquan like a ghost, and her right hand pressed down hard on the Yin string of the Weak Water Zither.
The spiritual energy within her dantian surged wildly through her meridians into Yin Xian, causing countless tiny beads of sweat to appear on her forehead, yet she still did not stop.
I originally thought Jin Daquan was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, but I didn't expect him to have hidden his cultivation level.
This is troublesome; Jin Daquan is clearly after her!
The first move of the Qin Kills the Nine Heavens: Qin Sound Takes Form!
A humanoid figure, identical to Jin Daquan, suddenly appeared behind him. The humanoid figure immediately imitated Jin Daquan and swung a sledgehammer, smashing it hard on his forehead.
Upon hearing the voices of the people below the stage, Jin Daquan immediately sensed something was wrong. He quickly turned his head and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Is this... a puppet, or the physical manifestation of Lu Fuyue's music?
He instinctively raised his purple-gold hammer and held it to his forehead to block the attacker. The two similar purple-gold hammers collided violently, sparks flying and the sound of metal clashing.
Jin Daquan and the shapeshifter were evenly matched in strength, with no difference whatsoever.
"Look, look! Senior Sister Lu's musical transformation has actually created a person who looks just like Senior Brother Jin."
"Is Senior Sister Lu alright?"
"Really, I thought Senior Sister Lu..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Senior Sister Lu is a genius who can transform her musical notes into physical form. How could she possibly die here?"
"Go, Senior Sister Lu! Go, Senior Sister Lu!"
...
Elder Dan and the Enforcement Elder on the high platform also breathed a sigh of relief for Lu Fuyue.
Unexpectedly, the high-grade earth-level footwork that Fu Yue obtained from Qian Tianjin was so extraordinary that she was able to dodge a half-step golden core attack with her early Foundation Establishment strength.
Qian Tianjin must be furious.
The elder in charge of law enforcement glanced furtively at Qian Tianjin and, seeing his expression as if he had eaten dog shit, couldn't help but laugh.
Qian Tianjin's face darkened further upon hearing the elder's laughter. He wanted to get angry, but he held back.
He comforted himself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. In the face of absolute strength, all clever tricks are useless."
So what if her music takes human form? Judging from how much effort she's putting in, she probably won't last long.
On the competition stage,
Lu Fuyue's face grew increasingly pale, and beads of sweat continued to pour from her forehead. However, her hands continued to move, using the music of her zither to manipulate the consciousness of the transformed human to fight against Jin Daquan.
In the center of the arena, Jin Daquan slammed his hammer at the shapeshifter, and the shapeshifter seemed to be in perfect harmony with him. No matter how Jin Daquan made his move, the shapeshifter would follow suit exactly, without a second's difference, and even the power and effect were exactly the same.
So neither of them gained anything from the fight.
"Is Senior Sister Lu about to give up? Look at her face, it's almost bloodless."
"Yes, then it seems that Senior Brother Jin is slightly better."
"That's not quite right. The difference in their strength is almost a whole realm. Anyone would lose, let alone Senior Sister Lu who has already lasted long enough."
...
As time passed, Lu Fuyue's spiritual energy dwindled.
