C178
The time for the challenge quickly passed. Fortunately, not a single person was defeated by the challenger. In the meantime, Qi Xing was being challenged by another disciple, but Qi Xing did not show any mercy. Three moves of the Cloud Piercing Sword Technique knocked the opponent off the stage. Next was the final ranking battle.
"First match, Liu Qing against Zhang Lu!" The referee announced.
"Second match, Zhou Wen against Yuwen."
"The third battle, Tantai Wuyue versus Liu Zhengnan."
"The fourth battle, Qi Xing versus Li Yi."
"The fifth battle, Lu Zhen versus Wang Qing."
The referee announced the results of the first round and left, leaving it for the young geniuses of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. At this moment, many people knew that the only female warrior among the ten was called Lu Zhen, which was very eye-catching. Lu Zhen had a pretty face, and a quiet temperament that was very attractive. He was also the target of many young people's favor. Just like Liu Zhengnan and Li Yi, they were all new sect disciples.
The first match was between Liu Qing and Zhang Lu, which was quite surprising. However, this made everyone even more excited. Zhang Lu and Liu Qing were both in the previous elite rankings, and their rankings were only second to Liu Qing. Everyone believed that there would be an intense battle between the two.
Speaking of which, this year's elite rankings was quite coincidental. In the past, the top ten of the elite rankings would usually participate once in order to join the list of geniuses in Ying Prefecture. There were only 100 disciples that were selected on the list of talent rankings. This was a competition between young martial artists from different domains. The quality of the young martial artists that participated was a great deal higher than the elite rankings. However, this time, there were quite a few previous disciples on the elite rankings. It was precisely because four years ago, there just happened to be a genius ranking that had passed, but the next genius ranking would only be held next year. As for those who did not participate in the top ten of the previous tournament, some were restricted because of their age; some were no longer willing to participate; some were focusing on their cultivation, preparing for the next year's list of geniuses! Entering the list of geniuses was truly an indisputable talent!
"Brother, who do you think will win?" Liu Qing and Zhang Lu stood facing each other, waiting for the judge to announce the result.
"F * * k, isn't that obvious? It must be Young Noble Duo defeating Zhang Lu."
"But have you seen Zhang Lu unleash his full strength?"
"Zhang Lu's strength is not something we can measure."
"What's the use of saying this? You'll only know after fighting. Young Master Wuyi will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Lu, so the first seat is already predetermined! "
The referee's hands stretched out horizontally, faintly pressing down. Immediately, all of the martial artists were silenced, waiting for the referee's announcement.
The battle began!
Silence. Only the gentle sound of the wind could be heard. Zhang Lu and Liu Qing stared at each other, their gazes intersecting in the air. The place where their gazes met seemed to be filled with intense sparks. The auras of the two constantly condensed, instantly transforming into a massive force. One breath of time, no movement. Two breaths of time, no movement. Three breaths of time, silence!
Suddenly, Zhang Lu groaned. Pang Ran's aura instantly dissipated into thin air. "I've lost."
Everyone in the audience was stunned, unable to accept this result. This situation caused everyone to stare in shock! Zhou Wen was also somewhat surprised. Qi Xing wasn't surprised by this. Although a martial artist didn't care about giving up so easily, the difference in strength was too great. It wasn't impossible to understand Zhang Lu's choice. Of course, if it were Qi Xing, he definitely wouldn't give up and would definitely fight. Because this was a step forward, unless the opponent couldn't even take a single blow.
The first round had ended just like that, and the second round had begun.
Qi Xing saw Zhou Wen walk towards the center of the stage. Yuwen also walked out from his seat. This person had a relaxed expression and a faint smile hung on his face. Not too far away from Zhou Wen, a faint sense of superiority emanated from his body as he faced Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen's eyebrows rose. He was extremely disgusted by this kind of attitude.
Zhou Wen suppressed the displeasure in his heart as he waited for the referee to declare war.
In the instant that the announcement was made, Zhou Wen's aura condensed and formed into the shape of a sharp sword that cut towards Yuwen! Yuwen's expression suddenly changed. Under Zhou Wen's sudden attack, the caught Yuwen off guard, and his body swayed from the impact of Zhou Wen's aura.
"You!" Yuwen's eyes were bloodshot, as if they were on fire. Yuwen wanted to say more, but he was no longer allowed to. This was because Zhou Wen's attack had arrived!
After Zhou Wen released his momentum, he quickly thrust out his sword. His first move was Cloud Piercing Sword Art! Take the initiative! Yuwen wasn't an ordinary martial artist. Zhou Wen's sword attack wasn't too strong. Yuwen Jian waved his sword to block Zhou Wenwen's attack. Just as he was about to counterattack, a powerful surge of inner Qi surged into Yuwen's body.
The indifference on Yuwen's face was quickly replaced by seriousness. He looked at Zhou Wen with eyes full of coldness. He hurriedly used his own inner force to drive out the invading inner force. At this moment, Zhou Wen's long sword attacked once again!
"Humph!" Yuwen Wen snorted and took a step forward. Zhou Wen's long sword hit nothing but air. It shot out a gust of wind that flew off into the distance. The internal force was expelled, and Yuwen was attacked in an instant.
Qi Xing could tell at a glance that Yuwen also had quite a strong footwork. The two swords complemented each other. Yuwen's sword stabbed out, aimed directly at the vital parts of his body.
Zhou Wen's sword speed did not change, but its angle was 180 degrees. It came crashing towards Yuwen Jian's sword. Qi Xingwen knew that this was the sword technique that Zhou Wen had originally learned. In terms of sharpness, the power was Cloud Piercing Sword Art! However, in terms of fighting, this was what he had originally learned.
The two sword techniques clashed in midair as a dazzling light flashed. The two of them exchanged a few blows in an instant. As the two exchanged blows, the two sides returned empty-handed. However, Zhou Wen's right hand trembled. The long sword thrust out once again. A dazzling sword beam shot straight towards Yuwen's face. Yuwen, on the other hand, was at the moment when his old strength had yet to disappear and his new strength had yet to come to fruition. This sword was difficult to block!
Yuwen's face was ashen as he moved his body to the side. Zhou Wen's long sword flew past Zhou Wen's blue gown. A hint of disappointment flashed across Zhou Wen's face. Yuwen was startled to the point where he broke out in a cold sweat. Just now, he had felt the icy cold aura of this sword! The instant he was shocked, it immediately transformed into the anger in Yuwen's heart. He took this opportunity to sweep out a sword strike. The slender and sharp sword was moving fast, but one could only see a blurry shadow of the sword.
The sword was too fast, he could feel the sword light coming at him viciously, he quickly tilted his head back, and the sword swept past three inches from Zhou Wen's forehead. After dodging Yuwen's sword, Zhou Wen immediately retreated. With a slight wave of his right hand, the Cloud Piercing Sword Art could be used to sweep away the clouds and see the sun!
An indescribable sharp aura emanated from Zhou Wen's sword. Yuwen was slightly startled. An ultimate move? I have one too! Dark Spider! It was a completely different aura, one that carried the determination of both sides to strike the other.
Boom!" The loud sound created a shapeless wave. It was like a gale that swept out. The two separated, once more clashing against each other.
The sword in Zhou Wen's hand turned into beams of sword lights that shot straight at Yuwen. Yuwen's sword technique was very powerful, and when the two clashed, it created an exciting melody. The unique footwork, the sword moves that came at will, and the rich combat experience. The full enjoyment of it was different from the crushing battle of Liu Qing. This process was precisely the excitement that many martial artists were looking for.
Clang! Yuwen's slender sword was smashed apart by Zhou Wen's sword. In the next instant, it pierced through the clouds and pierced through the sun! Sharp, sharp! Ling Li! Ling Li! Those who watched from the front felt a sharp pain as the blade came into contact with their faces. When Yuwen saw Zhou Wen use his trump card again, he immediately circulated all of his inner force. The thin sword pierced through the air! It was as bizarre as the glow of a dark night!
Boom!" BOOM! BOOM! The sound of explosions rang out as the battle came to an end. Zhou Wen retracted his sword and stood still. The clothes on his body were torn. However, there was no trace of blood. As for Yuwen, he fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. On his forehead, a red dot was very obvious!
