Buzz … Streaks of sword shadows flew out.
Previously, there were only 36 One-foot Swords. Now, 36 One-foot Swords joined the formation.
A total of seventy-two Meter-Long Swords formed a brand new light purple sword of light.
This was the second sword formation of the Ninth-heaven Sword Formation!
"Kill!"
Jian Wushuang's eyes flashed with killing intent. The light purple sword pierced through the Void in an instant.
Xia Mang was still standing in the Void with the five huge beasts behind him. His hands were red and he was about to use his killing move again. Suddenly … a light purple Flowing Light pierced through the Void and pierced through his body without any hindrance.
It was too fast!
The speed of the light purple Flowing Light was too fast.
Each level of the Ninth-heaven Sword Formation was stronger and faster than the previous one.
That was only the first level of the Traceless Sword. Xia Mang could have resisted it head-on if he had used his ultimate move.
But the second level of the Ninth-heaven Sword Formation was called the Thousand Mile Thread.
The distance of ten thousand miles was covered in an instant. Although it was exaggerated, it was enough to show the terrifying speed of the second level of the formation.
At least Xia Mang could not block it in time.
Crack!
The jade pendant that Xia Mang had been wearing all this while exploded. Immediately after the jade pendant exploded, a transparent light film appeared and covered Xia Mang's entire body. The pale purple Flowing Light hit the light film ferociously and pierced through it. The strong wind created by the collision also pushed Xia Mang's body back violently.
Although he was in a sorry state, Xia Mang survived the attack of the light purple Flowing Light.
When he regained his balance, Xia Mang's face was pale. He quickly retreated to the Void far away.
The drill ground was silent.
Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment.
"Xia Mang lost?"
"This time, he really lost!"
"He was almost killed."
Outside the Restriction, exclamations sounded one after another.
Everyone could see that if the jade pendant on Xia Mang's body had not suddenly exploded and formed a protective shield, Xia Mang would have been killed by Jian Wushuang!
"I, I almost died?" Xia Mang's face was filled with bewilderment and fear.
Since the beginning of his cultivation until now, although he had experienced many dangers, there had never been a time when he was so close to death.
If not for the jade pendant personally refined by that ancestor of the Xia Clan, he … would have really died!
How was this possible?
What he did not know was that when Jian Wushuang was at the Divine Realm, he already had the battle strength of Step Seven, which was comparable to that of an ordinary Dao Master. Later, when he broke through to the Eternal Realm, his overall strength had improved tremendously.
So what if he was a Dao Master at the peak of Rank One?
Jian Wushuang, who had reached the third step of the heaven-defying realm and was immortal and indestructible, could still crush him with the second level of the Ninth-heaven Sword Formation!
The spectator stands were full of exclamations.
"Xia Mang, he lost?"
"He is a genuine Dao Master and has opened up a Creation Level Dao. His battle strength is at the peak of Rank One!"
"An Eternal Realm expert defeated and almost killed a Dao Master at the peak of Step One? Haha … "
"Only Jian Wushuang is qualified to be called the number one Eternal Realm expert in the Eternal World. He is also the real number one genius. Only Xia Mang is a joke in front of him!"
Exclamations of admiration came from the mouths of these top experts.
Jian Wushuang's strength had completely won their recognition.
An Eternal Realm expert defeated Xia Mang, a Dao Master at the peak of Rank One. This was certainly enough to be called the number one in the Eternal Realm!
Compared to Jian Wushuang, Xia Mang was too far behind.
Hearing the exclamations of admiration for Jian Wushuang, Xia Yu of the Xia Clan's face became extremely ugly. He stared at Jian Wushuang below and said in shock and anger, "Bastard, this little bastard, how dare he kill!"
"So what if he kills?" Xue Lingtian immediately looked over and said in a cold voice, "It seems that Xia Mang was the one who challenged my Junior Brother, and he was the one who suggested a fight to the death. So many people here saw it clearly. Who was the one who wanted to kill who?"
The top powerhouses on the spectator stand also looked at Xia Yu with a hint of mockery.
No one was a fool.
Xia Mang had made it clear that he wanted to kill Jian Wushuang from the beginning. Since he proposed to fight to the death, even if he was killed by Jian Wushuang, he could only blame himself.
Xia Yu's face turned red, but he had nothing to say for a moment.
On the Drill Ground, Xia Mang, who had fled to the edge of the Drill Ground, still had a lingering fear. He looked at Jian Wushuang with a trace of horror in his eyes, but he did not have the courage to fight with Jian Wushuang again.
After all, he only had one jade pendant.
Now that the jade pendant was broken, no one could save him if Jian Wushuang used the killing move just now.
He had lost this battle!
In front of so many people, he had been completely defeated by Jian Wushuang in a thunderous manner. He had even almost been killed.
His confidence in his strength had been completely destroyed by Jian Wushuang.
Now, he was only filled with fear for Jian Wushuang.
"Emperor Leng."
On the stands, Xue Lingtian had already stood up and said grandly, "The result of this battle has been decided. Now, Emperor Leng, please announce the Prince Consort you have chosen for Her Highness."
Immediately, everyone turned to look at Emperor Leng with a strange look in their eyes.
In the two rounds of competition, Jian Wushuang had completely crushed Xia Mang, be it in terms of the betrothal gifts or the strength of his opponent.
According to the rules of the Selection Ceremony, the winner would naturally be Jian Wushuang.
Of course, the one who could become Leng Rushuang's husband would be Jian Wushuang.
This result was only natural.
However, it was hard to say whether Empress Leng would be able to accept this result.
After all, everyone knew that Emperor Leng held this Selection Ceremony to unite with the Xia Clan through marriage. Emperor Leng and the Xia Clan had already discussed this in secret, and the result had long been decided.
This Selection Ceremony was just a process.
According to Emperor Leng and the Xia Clan's original plan, Xia Mang would be able to win the Selection Ceremony and become the Prince Consort of the Tang of the East. In this way, Leng Rushuang would have nothing to say.
However, who would have thought that Jian Wushuang would appear and completely crush Xia Mang?
This was completely out of Emperor Leng and the Xia Clan's plan.
The top experts in the stands were all curious as to what choice Empress Leng would make.
Would she announce Jian Wushuang as the Prince Consort of the Tang of the East according to the results of the two rounds of the Selection Ceremony?
Or would she disregard her reputation and become the subject of ridicule and go back on her words in front of so many people and declare Xia Mang as the Prince Consort of the Tang of the East?
Emperor Leng could decide between these two choices.
It all depended on her choice …
