Gao Han's knife is very fast, he doesn't have any fancy moves, just ordinary chopping or slashing, but he's very fast.

Ge Haoming tried to seize the initiative several times, but was interrupted by Gao Han's knife. It seemed as if he could predict his next move.

That would have been fine, but the angle of his sword every time seemed to be particularly tricky. It wasn't a particularly powerful sword, but it was like a violent storm, and it was impossible for him to withstand them all. After a while, his body was covered with densely packed tiny wounds.

These minor wounds were not fatal, nor would they affect his ability to perform, but they made him feel extremely frustrated.

Obviously, he was stronger than him, but he couldn't find any chance to fight back. He didn't even dare to stick his head out, for fear of being hit by Gao Han's knife that was almost everywhere.

Ge Haoming didn't know that in Gao Han's eyes, he was no longer a human being, but a ghost demon.

He stayed in the Phantom Demon Realm for four months, and for more than three and a half months, he worked almost non-stop every day to study how to hit the Phantom Demons and how to avoid attacks from multiple Phantom Demons.

The further these ghost demons go, the stronger and smarter they become. They are not motionless dead objects, nor are they creatures that only obey stubborn principles. They can think and cooperate in attacks.

Because of these ghost demons, Gao Han has been practicing spiritual power and how to deal with them efficiently for the past four months. When they switch, he can handle it with ease.

One of the secrets to efficiency is speed.

This was something he had learned before he even learned how to kill a ghost demon, because he had to avoid the ghost demon's attacks and prevent himself from getting hurt before he could think about how to kill it.

Under his swift sword shadow, Ge Haoming could only keep retreating.

"Did I see it wrong? Why was Ge Haoming suppressed?" The onlookers rubbed their eyes.

"I saw it too. Ge Haoming was indeed suppressed by the other party. What made me more curious was that I seemed to see so many knives that it made me dizzy."

"Because the opponent swung the knife so fast that you seemed to see multiple knives. This is also the reason why Ge Haoming could not fight back."

"Swinging the sword so fast should consume a lot of spiritual energy, and the power should not be that great."

"Yes, instead of being controlled by the other party and being led by the nose, why not try to take the knife head-on and take back the initiative? Otherwise, if he continues like this, he will probably bleed to death."

Ge Haoming was almost covered in blood, but he was wearing white clothes.

“I have the same doubt.”

"Junior sister, I really can't believe that the person you like is not weak. He even suppressed Ge Haoming. But if he continues like this, if he can't find a way to deal with Ge Haoming, he will soon be defeated by Ge Haoming because his spiritual power is exhausted." Lu Si said with a click of the tongue, "But for this reason, I recognize him. If you really want to marry him in the future, I will be the first to support you."

"Senior Sister, do you think he can win?" Senior Sister Lu would tease her whenever she got the chance. Kong Fengjun blushed until she got used to it.

"It's hard to say. After all, we don't know him. Didn't you see him take action in the Shuangdong Secret Realm? He hasn't used his Eight Divine Swords yet." Lu Si saw that his junior sister didn't show any expression of shame or anger, and felt a little regretful that he couldn't see it.

Kong Fengjun thought for a moment, "In this case, the Eight Divine Swords will take at least a short while to incubate, and Ge Haoming will definitely be able to break free from his restraints. If he is given a chance to escape, Gao Han will be the real danger."

"That's right. So even though he has all the advantages now, he is also in a dilemma. It all depends on what he plans to do."

“But the Zixiao Sect is also quite remarkable. It has produced so many talented geniuses. No matter how hard the Jishang Sect flatters, it will never be able to catch up.” Ling Ziyin said with emotion.

"Yeah." Lu Si agreed, and suddenly looked at Gan Mulan who was silent, "What do you think?"

Gan Mulan hesitated for a moment, "I always feel that he has other plans, it shouldn't be that simple."

Sharing the same idea as them were other major sects such as the Ji Shang Sect, who all saw Gao Han's dilemma.

Ji Shang Zong, who originally had a grim look on his face, felt relieved after realizing this.

"Wait until his spiritual power is exhausted, and see how arrogant he can still be!" Wei Hong said coldly.

"Even if he absorbs spiritual energy while fighting, he can't keep up with the consumption. As long as Haoming can hold on for a while, he will be able to get the crystal diamond card and kill a genius of Zixiao Sect. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

All the disciples of Ji Shang Sect are now eager to regain the face they just lost, and Gao Han is their only chance.

Ge Haoming felt extremely aggrieved at the moment. He had thought about taking the opponent's blow and fighting back, but he soon discovered a fact with horror.

The opponent's knife was too fast each time. If he really did that, he would not have to withstand one knife, but dozens of knives. He would not be able to withstand so many knives falling on him.

In the end, he had no choice but to wait for the opponent to become weak, and until his spiritual power was almost exhausted. If he tried to strike with his sword again, he would probably not be able to continue. At that time, he would never give the opponent another chance!

Once his spiritual power was exhausted, he would be like a lamb to be slaughtered. He didn't believe that the other party would still be able to resist at that time. Killing him would be easy.

The sword shadows continued to fall from the sky, and Gao Han seemed tireless.

In just a quarter of an hour, it seemed as if a century had passed.

Just when everyone was wondering how long it would take Gao Han to collapse, the spiritual energy in the air suddenly churned violently, especially near him.

Gao Han's knife not only did not slow down, but became faster and faster.

Oh no, why did he become faster?

Ge Haoming couldn't see Gao Han swinging his knife. He could only judge whether his strength had become stronger or weaker based on the force of the knife light falling on his knife.

But before Gao Han's strength weakened, his sword-drawing speed actually increased again!

The palm of his hand was covered in blood, and even his knife had cracks that could be seen with the naked eye, as well as gaps between the teeth caused by the impact.

"He seems to be breaking through!" Qi Shijie found that the spiritual energy around him was a little unusual. He didn't care about it at first, because due to the sound of fighting, the spiritual energy would be more violent than usual, so he didn't notice it at first.

"Breakthrough in battle, so that's it!" Gan Mulan's eyes lit up, she finally understood what the other party was planning.

There are many ways for a cultivator to break through their cultivation, but there is one way that is the most advanced, which is what Gao Han is doing. Breaking through in battle, the cultivator's spirit and energy reach the highest point, and the more they fight, the more powerful they will become.

"We all thought that it was irrational for him to challenge Ge Haoming, but we didn't know that he wanted to use Ge Haoming to break through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul."

Everyone in Zixiao Sect was shocked by his behavior. Even though some people had done this before, no one had ever chosen someone whose cultivation was much higher than their own.

"Uncle-master, have you known about this a long time ago?" Yuan Ran, who had been worried for a long time, finally calmed down. He looked at Zhongli Tingzhou, who had not shown any sign of abnormality from beginning to end.

"I don't know." Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at him, "But I know he always does things in an orderly manner. Since he took the initiative to challenge the other party, he must be sure of doing so."

"My uncle-master is right. Gao Han has never been an impulsive person." Yuan Ran nodded excitedly.

Zhongli Tingzhou looked at him again. That’s because you have never seen him impulsive.

As more and more spiritual energy entered Gao Han's body, his Nascent Soul reached saturation, and even his last eyes opened. Rumbling thunder sounded outside the barrier.

The shackles between the Nascent Soul Stage and the Out-of-Body Stage have become a membrane so thin that it is almost non-existent, and it can be broken with a slight poke.

Feeling the out-of-body aura coming from Gao Han, he was breaking through. He actually broke through while fighting with himself!

Ge Haoming was going crazy. He had been waiting for Gao Han's spiritual power to be exhausted. Now, not only was his spiritual power not exhausted, but it had also recovered to its peak in an instant.

元婴大圆满和出窍期能比吗，两者根本不能比，他现在唯一的优势就是，自己的修为还是比他高两个小境界。

“你突破了！你突破了又能怎么样，你的修为还是没有我高，你没有能力杀死我，到最后，你还是要面临灵力耗尽，被我斩杀的下场！”葛浩明双目充满血丝，额头青筋直冒，面目狰狞如恶鬼。

“葛浩明已经失去了方寸，他在害怕高寒了。”焦琰平静地说道。

“战斗中，一旦生出怯弱之心，必败无遗。”封新星感慨一声，心里对高寒这位师叔祖，终于生出一丝敬佩之心，连这一点都能算计到，此战他还有什么理由不能赢。

“可他要怎么赢呢？没有必杀的招式，就像葛浩明说的，他很难取胜。”雷芯月很想知道，他会怎么做。

怎么做，高寒早就想好了。

就在众人以为，他还会继续封锁葛浩明的行动时，他突然后退了，主动与他拉开了距离。

如雨点般的刀影忽然消失了，葛浩明愣了一下，随之而来是巨大的狂喜，他终于等到这一刻，对方居然没有乘胜，继续封锁他的行动，自找死路，这一次，他绝对不会留一分余地！

“咦。”常天涯突然发出一声轻轻的疑惑，结界外因为高寒突破而凝聚的雷云，本来就要散去，突然又重新凝聚起来。

雷云比刚刚更加厚重，雷电开始酝酿，不时发出闷响。

他的目光又投到结界内，长刀已经爆出锋利刀芒的高寒身上，突然笑了一下，指尖弹出一道光，落在结界上。

原本就摇摇欲坠的结界，这一刻便彻底消失了。

“常天涯，你破坏了规矩。”姜长老很快就发现他的目的，脸色一沉。

“结界本来就是为了防止门牌飞出天谴岛，落入肉息之海，万仙道关闭后，这结界本就该撤掉了，我又如何算破坏规矩？”常天涯不甚在意地笑言，“倒是你们，挑战赛已经开始了，却迟迟不撤掉结界，莫不是想阻拦大家救援不成？”

原本以为常天涯此举是故意为之的势力，听到这话才反应过来。

挑战赛虽然不论生死，但是每一个天骄都来不易，各大宗门自然不希望自家小辈死在万仙道外面。

一旦挑战出现问题，他们随时会出手阻拦，代替自家小辈认输。

可要是被这结界挡住，哪怕只耽误了一秒，都有可能致使自家小辈出事，不怕一万，就怕万一。

这样一想，一些原本有异议的人，也都没有异议了。

“常六长老说的没错，结界本来就应该撤掉了。”仙女宗的任新月第一个附和。

仙女宗也是大宗，她们开口了，其他门派势力也纷纷说了一句，要说还有哪个势力和极上宗一样，不想结界撤掉的，也就只有幽魔宗。

幽魔宗的弟子本性嗜杀，从他们的宗门大名与幽魔境的幽魔一样便知，只是他们平时藏得比较深，但不轨的心思，却也昭然若揭。

少了结界的阻拦，高空的雷云以肉眼可见的速度又迅速地壮大了几分，雷电在云层中翻滚纠缠，隐隐散发出巨大的威压。

“葛浩明，小心，他要施展八神刀。”闻宏儒对八神刀太熟悉了，一眼就看出高寒准备施展的绝招。

极上宗不传刀法八神刀，被紫霄宗的弟子得去了，本身就是一件笑话。

他们越是想捂紧，就越不可能捂得紧，现在紫霄宗的弟子用极上宗的八神刀当绝招，对付极上宗的弟子，就算这次葛浩明赢了，极上宗也讨不到什么好名声。

“宏儒，我有一个想法，你觉得葛浩明能不能把他逼出第八刀？”边上的陈彬羽突然问道。

“你说的我也想过，问题在于葛浩明能不能做到。”

极上宗虽然认定高寒得到完整的八神刀，但是一直以来都是他们的猜测，并没有明确的证据证明，高寒有完整的八神刀。

他们这些修炼了八神刀的弟子，自然都希望他有完整的八神刀，可要怎么样才能证明。

如果是闻宏儒亲自上场，他有办法，也有自信能够逼高寒使出第八刀，但是高寒不可能会选他。

“葛浩明，这是第七刀，尽你最大的努力，逼他使出第八刀。”闻宏儒立即传音给他，不管能不能行，试试再说。

葛浩明呼吸猛然一滞，对了，他可以将功折罪，逼他使出第八刀，只要确定他有完整的八神刀，相信宗主和姜长老定然不会因此事怪罪于他，他仍然是极上宗的功臣之一。

小子，算你命大，要不是因为八神刀，他一定不会放过他，他恶狠狠地盯着高寒。

对面，已经酝酿完毕的高寒，突然注意到葛浩明身上攻击的气势有一丝微小的收敛，稍微思索片刻，便知道他在打什么主意了，缓缓扯了下嘴角。

真以为他前面做了那么多，都是在做无用功不成。
