At this moment, at the sword sect's Heavenly Sword Peak, the Sultan that was currently healing Chen Yao was sweating profusely.

At this moment, Chen Yao had already unleashed seventy golden needles.

Chen Yao's body turned red like a hot iron. Moreover, it was already late autumn. However, the temperature inside the room was just like that of a huge stove. Many of the furnishings had already turned into ashes.

The sultan didn't expect Chen Yao to be able to hold out until now. He could also imitate Chen Yao, using the golden needles to successfully open over seventy of Chen Yao's major acupoints.

However, the more time passed, the more suffering Chen Yao would have to endure and the more pressure he would have to bear.

At this moment, whether it was Chen Yao's sudden inability to endure the pain, his body exploding, or Sudan's mistake in applying the needle, all of his previous efforts would be in vain. Not only would Chen Yao lose his life, it would also leave an enormous shadow in the Sudan's heart.

If he could succeed this time.

Chen Yao's strength would skyrocket, and the Sultan would gain the enlightenment of a Grade 9 Alchemist because of this challenge. Therefore, he was now in a situation of mutual prosperity, and both of them would suffer losses at the same time.

The sultan carefully unleashed another golden needle, which landed on Chen Yao's body.

"Ah!"

The unconscious Chen Yao let out another terrifying howl, resounding through the entire sword faction.

And at this time, the sword faction had already started preparing for the Sword Ranking Arena.

During the battle at Broken Sword City, the top fifty experts were selected according to the number of Blood Demon Cores they obtained and the group arena competition would begin.

The rules of the arena battle was that there would be a battle between fifty people, leaving behind twenty people.

Ten were left in the battle between the twenty.

10 people would fight again and choose the top 5. The 5 that were eliminated would then return to the resurrection competition. If one person stayed behind, they would be able to obtain a Demon Sealing Token along with the five that won.

And then, the six of them would fight in three battles, and determine the top three.

The top three would fight with each other, and the final victor would be the first. They would receive an extremely high reward.

The Challenge Tournament was held on the janitor's Peak.

Because even though the Servant Peak had the thinnest amount of spiritual energy in the sword faction's peak, it was at the same time the largest area, especially the sacrificial square that was dedicated to the sword faction's founder, Jian Jiuxiao. It could hold over a hundred thousand people at the same time, allowing everyone in the sword faction to witness this slowly moving arena competition.

Right now, 90% of the sword faction's people were gathered here, and the stage had long been set up.

At this moment, the person standing on the stage was Sentencing Elder, Zhao Gongming. He was also the referee for this year's arena battle.

Right now, he was announcing the top fifty contestants for the competition. With each name he announced, the crowd would let out a cry or a sigh.

For many people, being able to enter the top 50 was already very satisfying.

As long as they could enter the top 50, they would be rewarded with a considerable amount of Spirit Stones per month. This would be of great help to their cultivation.

"..."

By the time the seventy-eighth golden needle pierced into Chen Yao's body, his entire body was drenched in sweat. Although the temperature here had reached a terrifying level, to a fire expert like Sudan, it was nothing. The reason why he was sweating like this was mostly because he was overly nervous.

At this moment, his life was at stake.

The last three needles were all fatal parts.

The moment he made a mistake, Chen Yao would become an idiot.

In case of any errors in the Defensive Heart Meridian, Chen Yao's blood would flow in reverse.

The moment the Yang Acupoint made a mistake, Chen Yao's body would be broken.

These three meridians were the core of the human body. There couldn't be the slightest mistake. Moreover, these three meridians were linked to hundreds of complicated meridians.

At the moment when Sudan's golden needles were about to pierce Chen Yao's acupoints, that scorching pain would instantly spread through his meridians, causing Chen Yao to suffer an even greater pain.

"Thrust."

Now that things had progressed to this point, he naturally wouldn't give Sudan any chance to stop. Seeing the correct acupuncture point, Sudan's finger moved slightly. From the last three needles floating in the air, one of them shot towards Chen Yao's Heavenly Spirit Point.

No one had ever used the eighty-one golden needles' secret technique of meridian expansion. It was merely a discussion between some powerful doctors. The ideas drawn by them could stimulate these acupuncture points and stimulate the human body's potential.

Even though he was right, when he was using the needle, the strength was an extremely important factor. If he was too strong, he could destroy the entire meridian. If he was too light, he wouldn't be able to achieve the desired effect.

This was something no one had ever tried before, so now everything was in the hands of the sultan. This was a terrible gamble.

Fortunately, when the seventy-ninth golden needle pierced into Chen Yao's Heavenly Spirit Acupoint, he let out a miserable cry. His entire head turned red, but it did not explode. Furthermore, Chen Yao's breathing and heartbeat were normal.

After letting out a breath of relief, his heart was once again lifted to his throat.

He would only have the last two needles, he absolutely could not fail.

Another golden needle pierced toward Chen Yao's heart, causing another scream to ring out in the room.

However, it was true that the closer Chen Yao got to the end, the louder his howls became. This was also the reason why Chen Yao was enduring a pain that others could not imagine.

At this moment, the unconscious Chen Yao felt as though he had been caught in a burning flame. Furthermore, it was a fiery golden needle that was stabbing into his body, causing him great pain.

However, when the golden needles entered his body, Chen Yao initially felt pain. However, soon after, he felt that his originally fractured meridians started to slowly recover. Every single cell in his body started to squirm, and he felt as if he had been reborn.

Although this sort of sensation was extremely painful, Chen Yao was nevertheless enjoying it very much. It was like a drug addiction. Even though he knew that it would be extremely painful, he was unable to stop himself.

Especially when Chen Yao felt his body brimming with power, like a clear spring.

However, the exit of these spring water was blocked. Moreover, there were no channels. These spring water simply could not gather together. Even if he had the strength now, he would not be able to use it.

This made him crave even more for the strange golden needle to pierce into his body.

"Ah!"

The 80th golden needle landed on Chen Yao's Defensive Heart Acupuncture Point. Chen Yao suddenly felt that the blockages on his body had become clear. The spiritual energy in his upper body began to converge one by one. The abolished meridians began to reproduce.

However, the lower half of his body was unable to join together. This caused Chen Yao to feel very vexed and anxious.

But his face was feverish with delight.

It was not that he was unaware of the pain, but he was too excited to be aware of it.

"Let's go all out."

The sultan gritted his teeth and the last golden needle that was suspended in the air pierced towards the Yang Acupoint on Chen Yao's abdomen.
