"Oh? You've taken a fancy to my sword?"
Lin Xiao brandished the evil spirit sword in his hand and said calmly.
"Unfortunately, he has already acknowledged me as his master. If you want to gain his approval, there is only one way: kill me!"
"Do you dare?"
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he looked sharply at Jian Chen not far away.
Seeing this look, Jian Chen, who had been grinning, also stopped smiling.
"Forget it then, it's just a small competition, not worth us risking our lives."
With a wave of his right hand, Jian Chen conjured a purple longsword out of thin air.
"Let's begin, Brother Lin. I've heard your swordsmanship is strange and unpredictable. I wonder how it compares to the swordsmanship of my Peerless Sword Pavilion?"
As soon as Jian Chen finished speaking, he moved with unpredictable steps, and his figure instantly transformed into several beams, rushing towards Lin Xiao.
"Look, they're getting anxious!"
"You attacked before Lin could even finish speaking."
"It's one thing to take action, but to use such flashy sword techniques? Is this what the successors of the Peerless Sword Pavilion are like?"
Lin Xiao slowly swung the evil spirit sword in his hand.
To everyone else, it appeared as if Lin Xiao had merely swung the evil spirit sword once.
But in Jian Chen's eyes, he was different from everyone else.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this?!"
Jian Chen, who was rushing towards Lin Xiao, suddenly stopped when he was less than a few meters away from Lin Xiao.
Immediately afterwards, he did a somersault in the air and shouted loudly.
"Sword Qi, break!"
An invisible sword aura formed around Jian Chen, instantly deflecting hundreds of invisible sword energies that were slashing at him from all sides.
"boom!!!"
In an instant, smoke filled the arena, and Lin Xiao and Jian Chen disappeared from view.
Outside, everyone watching Lin Xiao and Jian Chen's battle was filled with confusion.
"Strange, this battle playback is terrible, I can't even see the visuals!"
"Is the battle over? No way, that was too fast! This is the successor of the Peerless Sword Pavilion!"
“... ... ..."
Just as everyone was stunned, a loud voice suddenly came from the light screen.
"boom!!!"
A terrifying shockwave dispersed the smoke inside, and everyone finally saw what was happening.
However, when they saw what was inside, everyone turned pale.
The once intact arena was now covered with gruesome sword marks.
The severed rubble floated into the air piece by piece.
In the light screen, Lin Xiao and Jian Chen were exchanging blows, each wielding a sword.
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
Each collision between the two caused the passageway leading to their arena to tremble, as if the space itself could not withstand the fluctuations generated by their battle.
"This is just too outrageous! This is a battle space created by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a group of ancestors. Ordinary people can't destroy this, yet they actually did it?"
"Tsk tsk! There are freaks every year, but there seem to be more this year than ever. Looks like this generation is going to be quite lively!" A little bald man touched his smooth head and said with interest.
... ... ...
Inside the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, Zhou Chen and the Great Zhou Emperor both watched the battle between Lin Xiao and Jian Chen with grim faces.
"Father..."
Just as Zhou Chen was about to say something, the Emperor of Great Zhou waved his hand.
"Don't talk, just watch!"
"Unexpectedly, even a disciple from the Sword Cultivation Holy Land is no match for this person. This is troublesome!"
The Emperor of Great Zhou seemed to have seen through something, and said with a cold look in his eyes.
... ... ...
At this moment, inside the arena.
Lin Xiao and Jian Chen had exchanged blows no less than a hundred times, and both of them were getting really into it.
"Hey! Brother Jian, you can stop acting now. You should admit defeat!"
Lin Xiao transmitted his voice to Jian Chen.
"Oh? Brother Lin, why don't you admit defeat? I, Jian Chen, also want to win the title of champion of the Hundred Sects Tournament!"
Jian Chen said with a reluctant expression.
Just now, while they were fighting, they were communicating with each other using their divine senses and explaining their situation.
Both of them felt strange and thought they had been tricked.
After all, even if the two are unlucky, they are unlikely to meet in the second round.
However, it was quite a coincidence that, through the two of them using their divine senses to understand everything, Lin Xiao also learned that Jian Chen had offended Zhou Chen not long ago.
Only then did the two realize that they had been tricked.
However, even though they now know what happened, they still have to settle the score today, since there can only be one champion.
No one wants to give up this opportunity to prove themselves.
Seeing that Jian Chen was still so persistent, Lin Xiao immediately said.
"Brother Jian, let's settle this with one move!"
"Sure!!!" Jian Chen said cheerfully.
After the two exchanged blows and separated, Jian Chen held the purple longsword upright in front of his chest.
"Brother Lin, you'd better watch closely, because what I'm about to do is the ultimate technique of my Peerless Sword Pavilion!"
"Peerless Sword Song, Kill!!!"
After Jian Chen let out a loud shout, a dense and sharp sword aura burst forth from his body.
"boom!!!"
The entire arena space began to crack as his sword energy appeared, as if it were about to shatter.
Outside, the onlookers, who were watching with great interest, exclaimed in astonishment with wide eyes.
"Holy crap! What's going on? Is the passage into the arena about to break?"
