Last time he said: The first battle of the Wulin Conference Quarterfinals: Wan Tianba against the Taoist Tai Xu, a fierce battle is about to begin.

With their number plates, Feng Ding and Jiang Feng entered the infield, where they could watch the competition more clearly. Feng Ding said: "Brother, looks like we came at the right time, just in time for the first round of the Martial Competition." Jiang Feng nodded his head, and said: "Big brother, who do you think will win this round?" Feng Ding clenched his fist and said: "It's hard to say. The two stopped talking and focused on the stage.

With presenter's order, the first round of battles began. Wan Tianba was dressed in black outside, the blade in his hand seemed to be filled with Evil Qi, he had a haughty expression, looking at his opponent, he did not even put Taoist Tai Xu in his eyes, and ridiculed: "Old man, you are already so old, to be able to fight your way into the top 8, you should be satisfied, quickly go down, I will let you live, and make full use of the time you have left, and enjoy the happiness of being heaven, haha!" Taoist Tai Xu leaned his sword on his back with his right hand and stroked his beard with his left hand, saying: "Thank you for your concern, Young Hero. Wan Tianba snorted, then said: "Hmph, if this old man does not accept the offer, don't blame me for not showing mercy." The Taoist Tai Xu asked: "I wonder who Young Hero is learning this strange sword technique?" Wan Tianba bent his neck, and said: "This old man sure has a lot of nonsense, catch my moves, I will tell you!"

"Woosh woosh woosh." Two blade energies forcefully hacked over, Taoist Tai Xu leaped up, and used "Sword passed mark" to block the blade energy. Landing on the ground, he quickly advanced, and thrusted out the "Tai Yi" treasure sword in his hand. Wan Tianba blocked it with his sword horizontally, and turned around with one strike. Wan Tianba stepped forward, using all of his strength, the treasure sword in his hand clashed with the "Tai Yi" sword, Taoist Tai Xu knew that he could not defend against the opponent's strength, so he took the chance and used "Returning Sword Through the Heart", and fiercely thrusted towards Wan Tianba's right chest. Both of Wan Tianba's feet froze, one slash deflected the Tai Yi Sword, causing Taoist Tai Xu to immediately switch to his left hand. He held the sword hilt backwards and slashed horizontally, creating a "Twisting Peak Technique", Wan Tianba did not expect the old Daoist to have such a consummate technique in his left hand. Shocked, he bent his left knee, pushed out with force with his right foot, and avoided the attack. The Taoist Tai Xu moved like a shadow, and in the blink of an eye, the Tai Yi Sword was right in front of him again. Wan Tianba held onto the blade with both of his hands, and leaned from the bottom to the top to block, while the Taoist Tai Xu used the Lightness Exercise to fly up. In the air, his body formed a spinning treasured sword upside down, forming a circle of sword qi around Wan Tianba. After using this move, both Taoist Tai Xu and Wan Tianba stood with their backs facing each other.

Taoist Tai Xu's face showed that he was extremely calm, but Wan Tianba's face was filled with anger, and a drop of blood slowly dripped down from his right chest onto the stage. Jiang Feng was sighing at the ingenuity of the Taoist Tai Xu's sword technique, but he thought to himself: Did Wan Tianba really get defeated like that? No, his strength should not be limited to this. Taoist Tai Xu and Wan Tianba turned around at the same time, and he said: "Young Hero, this humble one has already won against you by half a move. The blade in Wan Tianba's hand was shrouded in killing intent, and his eyes had now turned blood-red. He suddenly laughed wildly: "Hahaha, you damned old man, you actually injured this young master. Haha, today next year will be the day of your death." Seeing him like this, Taoist Tai Xu confirmed his own thoughts, and said: "This is the Devil Soul Sabre, you are indeed that strange person's descendant." Wan Tianba looked extremely excited as he said, "Old man, I will tell you the truth when you are about to die!" His strength and speed were completely different from before, he was moving at an extremely fast speed, although the Taoist Tai Xu's martial arts were profound, he was still shocked by his movements, as though two Wan Tianba's had appeared in front of him, in an instant, the Devil Soul Sabre was cutting at him, the Taoist Tai Xu quickly retracted his mind, and blocked the Devil Soul Sabre with "Flowing Spring Rain", thinking that his own sword technique was extremely precise, he only needed a little time to find flaws in the opponent's blade technique, and then defeat the opponent. But unexpectedly, Wan Tianba's blade technique was extremely dense and did not have a single flaw, on the contrary, Taoist Tai Xu's physical strength had gradually become insufficient after a long period of time. However, the Taoist Tai Xu was still the current Sect Leader of the Qing Xu Sect of Henan, so there was no need to explain the attainments in the sword. Although he would not be able to win in a short period of time, he would not lose.

Suddenly, Wan Tianba separated the Tai Yi Sword from the Devil Soul Sabre, he retreated two steps, holding onto the blade with both hands, with the blade tip pointing downwards, he roared out, and swung out a powerful Blade Qi with both of his arms, causing the wooden boards in the area to be flipped up one by one, like a black dragon pouncing towards its opponent. Taoist Tai Xu transferred a portion of his Qi to his right hand and used the ultimate defense of his sword technique. Below the stage, Jiang Feng only saw a long hole appearing in the center of the stage, the wooden boards that were just stirred up by the sword qi were all smashed into pieces by the Taoist Tai Xu's absolute defense, falling down in front of the two of them. Taoist Tai Xu's left hand was holding onto his right wrist, his Tai Yi Sword was hit onto the ground, his face revealed a pained look, while Wan Tianba revealed a sinister smile, and said: "Old man, your sword was knocked out by me, you are dead this time." Outside of the arena, Du Shaoyang saw this scene, and thought: Not good, the Martial Uncle's sword techniques could not leave the person, the person could not leave the sword, now that the person and the sword have separated, they will definitely lose. Taoist Tai Xu's right wrist seemed to have gotten injured, and at the moment, he could only use one hand to fight Wan Tianba who was about to go crazy with Devil Soul Sabre. Taoist Tai Xu used all of his strength, and even fought with Wan Tianba for more than ten moves, his cultivation was extremely profound, causing Wan Tianba to shout in anger: "Good old man, look at the 'Suicide Soul' in my Devil-soul Sabre Arts!" Two blade qi clashed against Taoist Tai Xu, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood and fall backwards. His left hand pressed on his chest, his face turned pale white.

Seeing that victory or defeat had been decided, presenter hurriedly stepped onto the stage to stop him. "Alright, alright, I declare that the winner of this match is …" Wan Tianba stared at the presenter with bloodshot eyes and said sternly: "This old Daoist has yet to determine the victor, yet you have already come up to spout nonsense." When presenter saw his appearance, he was truly frightened, but he could only pretend to be calm, and said: "This old Taoist has already been defeated by you, our Meet at the Martial Meeting was agreed to stop, and do not kill anyone." Wan Tianba's eyes were filled with killing intent, and he said: "So long to the point? I didn't get any, did I? " With that, he ignored the words of the presenter and slowly walked closer.

Taoist Tai Xu coughed a few times, and asked: "If you want to kill this humble Taoist, fine, but how exactly did you learn this set of Devil-soul Sabre Arts, can you tell me?" Wan Tianba laughed at the sky, "I can see that you are already a person on the verge of death, so I will mercifully tell you this. My master is the 'Six-Pointed Star Immortal' Yi Zhuofann who was defeated by your senior brother Taoist Mo Feng twenty years ago." The Taoist Tai Xu had already guessed it, but he had other questions, so he asked: "Back then Yi Zhuofann was defeated by my senior brother Taoist Mo Feng, so he promised me that he would never enter the martial arts world again, how did you find him?" Wan Tianba lowered his head to look at Taoist Tai Xu, and said: "Humph, you don't need to know so much, but I can tell you one thing by the way, I've already killed him, hahahaha!" Taoist Tai Xu was shocked, "You actually killed your teacher?" Wan Tianba laughed coldly, and said: "Old man, I have been wasting words with you for so long, it is time to send you off." With that, he raised his Devil Soul Sabre and was about to slash down, but Du Shaoyang pulled out his "Dust Sealing Sword s", borrowing the heads of the people in front of him, he flew up onto the stage and used a "Unconventional Sword" to block Wan Tianba's blade. The current Du Shaoyang no longer had the same expression he used to have when he liked to joke. Instead, he used all his might to stop Wan Tianba's Devil Soul Sabre. Seeing that it was Du Shaoyang, Wan Tianba was excited: "Haha, it's you? Last night, I sent a subordinate to invite you over to my Death Land Sect as a guest. Not only did you not come, you even injured my subordinate. Du Shaoyang stood in front of his Martial Uncle and said: "This one is a junior of the Qing Xu Sect, I do not have the qualifications to accept your Ten Thousand Young Hall Master's sincere invitation. Since my Martial Uncle has already lost to Your Excellency today, I hope that the Ten Thousand Young Hall Master can disperse and stop here!" Wan Tianba laughed crazily as he provoked them: "Haha, I'll let you guys go, not bad, beat the Devil Soul Sabre in my hands first." Du Shaoyang's brows tightly locked together, and said: "Alright, since Young Hall Master Wan is unwilling to give in, then I can only risk my life to accompany you!"

Du Shaoyang and Wan Tianba started fighting so quickly? What was the outcome of the battle?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
