A moment later, Zhang Jintong hurried to the ring, anxiously preparing to check on Sima Zhuifeng's condition. However, at that moment, a lightning-fast figure suddenly appeared like a ghost, blocking Zhang Jintong's path. A cry of surprise erupted from the crowd, "Oh my God! It's the legendary Sword Immortal Wang Fan!"
Wang Fan, clad in a white robe as white as snow, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his face stern yet imbued with a certain dignity. He stood there silently, like an insurmountable mountain, silently guarding his beloved disciple, Sima Zhuifeng, who lay unconscious on the ground behind him. The entire scene fell into a momentary silence, everyone's attention focused on this mysterious and powerful swordsman.
Time ticked by. About an hour later, Sima Zhuifeng, who had been motionless and tightly shut, suddenly opened his eyes. Two rays of light shot out from them. At the same moment, a gleaming, cold, demon-smashing sword appeared in his hand with lightning speed, as if summoned. Sima Zhuifeng, sword in hand, slowly stood up and, with steady steps, walked towards Jiang Feng, who was not far away.
Each of his steps seemed light, yet it seemed to contain a tremendous force, stamping heavily on the hearts of those present. Everyone was shocked by the scene before them, filled with confusion and bewilderment. They looked at each other, whispering, "What the hell is going on? Sima Zhuifeng is clearly still at the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. How can he be considered to have made a breakthrough?"
As everyone was whispering among themselves, Sima Zhuifeng had already reached Jiang Feng. Unexpectedly, he knelt on one knee without hesitation, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully to Jiang Feng, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for the sword strike you gave me today. It was because of this strike that I was able to break through my bottleneck and comprehend the essence of swordsmanship at a higher level." He raised his head, his eyes filled with gratitude and respect.
At this moment, Wang Fan, who had been standing silently by, finally cracked a satisfied smile and nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Sima Zhuifeng's words and actions. A powerful figure explained, "A breakthrough isn't about cultivation. The most important thing for a sword cultivator is to comprehend the powerful sword intent! Jiang Feng's strike just now gave Sima Zhuifeng a new understanding. He's truly a promising sword cultivator. No wonder Wang Fan values him so highly!"
Jiang Feng helped Zhui Feng up and laughed, "You are an upright person. We are already brothers. Why be so polite?"
At this time, Zhang Jintong said loudly: "Qingyun Sect's Jiang Feng wins this battle, the next battle is Qingyun Sect's Zhuang Muhan against Dan Pavilion's Wang Man"
At this time, Wang Fan walked towards the two of them and said, "You two come with me to heal your wounds." After that, he grabbed the two of them and disappeared on the spot. When he appeared again, he was on the stands on the second floor. However, Wang Fan had set up a formation here, so it was not clear from the outside!
Wang Fan sat down and said, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your disciple. I just saw your swordsmanship, it's profound and far-reaching, even stronger than my Flowing Light Sword Technique! I wonder who taught you this?"
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "This is a trick I learned by chance in the secret realm."
Wang Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Young friend, you are very talented in the way of the sword. How about you consider coming to my Sword King Palace? I am willing to accept you as my disciple."
Jiang Feng bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. I already have a sect."
Wang Fan smiled and said, "I won't force you to do anything. You can come anytime you want. If you encounter any difficulties, I can also help you once."
The favor of Sword Immortal Wang Fan cannot be exchanged for any amount of spirit stones or treasures.
Jiang Feng and the other man took the pills and began to recover.
At this time, Zhuang Muhan and Wang Man had already fought for dozens of rounds on the ring. With the help of the top-grade ice knife, Zhuang Muhan had suppressed Wang Man, and victory was only a matter of time.
Soon, Zhuang Muhan seized a mistake made by Wang Man and rushed forward. The huge sword energy chopped Wang Man off the thunder platform!
Qingyun Sect's Zhuang Muhan wins!!
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Zhuang Muhan was extremely excited, because he represented the Qingyun Sect.
The next match was between Gongsun Wuji and Qin Mufeng. As expected, Gongsun Wuji was too strong and won easily!
Shangguan Jing vs. Dongfang Chuxiong, Shangguan Jing wins
Zhang Jie vs. Ye Tong, Zhang Jie wins
Liu Jian vs. Ouyang Chifeng, Liu Jian wins
Liu Jian still didn't use the magic sword!
Next is tomorrow's highlight!!!
Jiang Feng vs. Liu Jian Zhang Jie vs. Zhuang Muhan
Gongsun Wuji vs. Shangguan Jing
Now, the remaining six people all possess extraordinary strength, especially Jiang Feng. A Nascent Soul cultivator could actually reach the finals, and many people suspected that he was the disciple of some powerful being.
At the same time, the various princes of the dynasty were also closely watching the progress of the competition. These individuals were all potential future talents, and everyone had their own ulterior motives on how to win them over.
At this moment, a majestic voice came from the hall: "This Jiang Feng was actually able to defeat that Sima kid. I really didn't expect it. Liu Jian, tomorrow it depends on you!"
Liu Jian bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Third Prince, I will fight him to the death and will definitely avenge our past grudges."
Jiang Feng and his companions returned to the inn. Xiao Qingfang was in a good mood. Even if they were defeated next time, their Qingyun Sect still had the option of obtaining spiritual mines.
Jiang Feng said, "Mu Han, give up tomorrow's battle. Qingfang, after the competition is over, don't delay and return to the sect quickly. And notify my senior brother to be ready for the rescue. Now that my sect has two cultivators in the Great Accomplishment Stage, there is no problem in protecting themselves. Also, go back to the sect to check on the disciples. I suspect there is a traitor. As for me, I will not return to the sect for the time being..."
Xiao Qingfang lamented that Jiang Feng had such a state of mind at such a young age.
Xiao Qingfang thought for a moment and said, "Sir, my uncle just sent me a message that a large number of demons are gathering at the Demon Sect. I wonder what they are up to."
Jiang Feng said: "After the competition, they knew that I would act alone and would not attack Qingyun Sect."
In fact, when he had previously told Lietian about the old demon, Uncle Tian had already given him his assessment: the old demon must have set his sights on his body and wanted to take over again. Furthermore, Uncle Tian predicted that the old demon must be very anxious, as his last attempt to take over someone else's body was not successful, and must have left some hidden dangers behind!
