The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and the second match was between the mysterious female outer court disciple Yang Luo and the fifth ranked fast sword swordsman Liu Hui.

Even though Liu Hui was only at the 8th level of the King's realm, he was still much stronger than Yang Luo's peak of the Genuine Force. Especially his swordsmanship, which was extremely fast and swift like a flint, which was extremely difficult to deal with. It was said that he once attacked four disciples of the Everlasting Demon Sect on their Blood Ranking, and not only did he survive, he even killed four disciples of the Everlasting Demon Sect's Blood Ranking.

Therefore, his strength had already surpassed many peak Martial King level cultivators. There might not be many monsters like Chen Yao that were able to cross over the border to fight, but many of the Heaven's Pride characters had the ability to fight those above their cultivation level.

This Liu Hui was not a simple person.

However, Chen Yao had a faint feeling that the final victor would be the female outer court disciple called Yang Luo, who was at the peak of the Genuine Force.

This was because this woman gave Chen Yao a feeling that he was unable to fathom her thoughts.

Furthermore, she gave Chen Yao a feeling that she was far more dangerous than Liu Hui. Therefore, Chen Yao felt that Yang Luo was likely to be a dark horse.

Therefore, he looked at Yang Luo with a serious expression.

"What, you also think that Yang Luo girl is not simple?"

Lan Xin's voice came from the side.

Chen Yao regained his senses and glanced at Yang Ke and Lan Xin. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

"I don't know why I smelled some evil and bloody scent from that girl called Yang Luo. Logically, sword faction disciples shouldn't give off that kind of feeling, so I feel that this Yang Luo isn't simple."

Because Chen Yao had a murderous intent in his heart, he had an extraordinary sensitivity towards all kinds of evil auras.

This was why he had always felt that Yang Luo was very dangerous.

When Yang Ke and Lan Xin heard this, they were stunned.

Since Chen Yao had said that, it meant that Chen Yao had truly sensed something. Thus, the two of them had a very serious expression on their faces.

Orchid Heart thought.

"Yesterday, I checked the information of this female disciple called Yang Luo, and found out that she entered the sword faction less than a month and a half ago, which also means that she is a new disciple. Her peak of the Genuine Force stage cultivation was obviously already there when she entered the sword faction, and her amazing sword cultivation was already there before she entered the sword faction.

"It's hard for me to understand why a genius like her would join the sword faction. I want to know more about her past, but there's no record at all in the file, and no information at all about Yang Luo's identity."

"I thought she was a spy sent from outside, so I investigated her movements after she entered the sword faction. I discovered that ever since she joined the sword faction, she almost never left her house, and she didn't go to the sword pavilion to learn any sword skills."

"I can feel that the reason he joined the sword faction was for today's competition, but what is the purpose of her doing so?"

Lan Xin frowned.

Hearing Lan Xin's words, Yang Qi was slightly stunned. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke.

"This woman called Yang Luo's method of joining the sword faction is similar to mine. The conventional method, especially for cultivators who want to join the sword faction halfway through their cultivation, is particularly strict.

"Only the sword faction's sect head has the authority to recruit disciples without recording any information from them. If you don't find any information about Yang Luo, then it must be related to the sect master."

"Headmaster Luo?"

Chen Yao was even more puzzled. What was the relationship between this Luo Tian and Yang Luo? Why did they arrange for a female disciple of unknown origins to enter the sword faction and participate in the sword ranking competition?

Chen Yao was truly unable to understand what was going on.

Lan thought for a moment.

"Since it has to do with Sect Leader, there must be a reason for him to do so. I don't want to bother with Yang Luo's identity, let's just quietly watch from the sidelines. Whether it is Liu Hui or Yang Luo's victory, both of them are strong opponents for us in the following matches, we must not let our guard down."

Chen Yao and Yang Qi nodded. They didn't say anything as their gazes shifted to the arena.

Although the two didn't say anything, their thoughts were the same.

They would rather have won against Liu Hui, because this was something that was only logical. If Yang Luo won, it would be even more difficult to deal with.

If the peak of the Genuine Force could defeat Liu Hui who was at the 8th level of the King's realm, it would mean that the opponent's methods and trump card did not belong to either of them. Even if they met Yang Luo, they did not have much confidence.

Chen Yao began to sweat profusely. He already possessed the strength to fight across borders and knew how difficult it was. If it were not for the fact that he had a plethora of cards up his sleeve, he would not have the ability to do so.

On the other hand, if Yang Luo, a weak girl, could surpass Liu Hui by a few steps.

Then, the pressure she gave herself would already surpass Yang Ke, who had comprehended the Concept of Water.

Therefore, Chen Yao silently prayed that Liu Hui would win.

"..."

The competition in the arena wasn't that intense, it was completely one-sided.

Liu Hui's sword was indeed very fast. One could not even see the blade of the sword. There were only sword glows flashing one after another.

Chen Yao used Brilliant Sword Heart's ability to capture the traces of Liu Hui's sword.

He tried his best to capture traces of Liu Hui's usage of the sword.

However, these sword moves were too fast. If it was him, he would be able to see the trajectory of these sword moves with his Brilliant Sword Heart. However, he could at most block sixty percent of the attacks, because these sword moves were too fast.

Chen Yao possessed the Brilliant Sword Heart's ability. Against such a fast sword move, he was unable to block it, and Yang Luo naturally found it difficult to resist.

The clothes on her body had already been cut several times, and some snow-white skin was faintly discernible.

"Zheng."

Liu Hui was merciless, the long sword in his hand pierced towards Yang Luo's forehead.

This attack was too fierce.

However, it could also be said that with luck, Yang Luo managed to block that attack.

This sword, just happened to stab the long sword in front of Yang Luoshu.

Suddenly, the medium-grade earth-step flying sword in Yang Luo's hand was shattered into pieces.

Although the sword in Liu Hui's hand paused for a moment, but the sword qi didn't slow down and continued to attack Yang Luo's chest.

Yang Luo's figure quickly retreated.

"Ah!"

Yang Luo screamed and fell off the stage.

However, the sword beam continued shooting towards her.

"Bam."

Suddenly, there was another flash of sword light and Liu Hui's sword qi was instantly shattered.

Yang Luo's body, which fell off the stage, also fell into someone's arms, so as to not appear to be in a sorry state.
