On the first day of the tournament, there were a total of six rounds of matches. Six winners were decided, but at the same time, six corpses were left behind.
The death rate of the losers reached an astonishing 100%, which was far beyond the expectations of many people. Before this, people thought that although the competition was a matter of life and death, everyone was sisters. Even if they had been fighting in the harem for so many years, there was still friendship between them, so they would not kill each other.
But the reality was that the friendship in the harem could not be taken seriously at all. Those good sisters, who usually smiled on the surface, were more efficient than anyone else when it came to killing each other in the martial arts arena.
Before the fight, the two would still talk about trivial matters and recall the good times they had spent together. They even agreed to taste the cooking of Moon Capital's chefs after the competition … But in the blink of an eye, the mask of goodwill was torn off, and the life of the other party was taken away in an unprecedented cruel way. Then, they looked at the corpse on the ground with a vengeful gaze and lamented how she deserved it. What's more, they exposed all kinds of dark secrets of the harem in public, as if they could finally vent out their pent-up frustrations for many years.
The cruelty and indifference of these harem concubines shocked the bureaucrats under Moonless. Even Moonless herself frowned deeply, and her killing intent gradually condensed.
She was deeply disappointed with the beauties in her harem — not disappointed with their ignorance of the general interest. In fact, for so many years, the principle of Moonless' management of the harem was to let those cultivators, who used to be independent, become deaf and blind in the cramped harem cage, and eventually become ignorant. Not understanding the general interest was not actually wrong, but the mistake was that they could no longer please their master.
Moonless sat on the high throne and watched the six matches with cold eyes. Except for the first match between Wang Lu and Xiao Murong, where the combination of Non-Phase Nameless Sword and Primal Chaos Sword Qi made her eyes light up, the remaining five matches seemed boring. With her vision as a Deity Stage Daoist Master, the matches of several King Pill level were not worth mentioning at all. What she wanted was something else.
She wanted to know how the concubines, who had been kept as pets by her for decades, would perform in the martial arts arena. She was looking forward to all kinds of complex human nature blooming on that vast but narrow stage. But in the end, all she saw was disappointment. The inexplicable hatred and the complaints of gratitude and grudges made her feel deeply bored.
The competition on the second day was still the same. The concubines fought in the ugliest way possible. Under the test of life and death, they exposed their darkest side.
On this day, the number of people in the auditorium had been reduced by half, and Moonless's face was covered with frost from beginning to end, causing the concubines in the martial arts arena to keep quiet out of fear. It was not until the beginning of the fifth match, when the girl named Liu Li stepped onto the stage that Moonless showed a bit of interest.
Liu Li had yet to pass the King Pill tribulation. Although everything was ready, right now, she was still in Peak Xudan Stage, and her opponent was the right-hand woman of the main concubine, Concubine Xiao Yun, the genius cultivator of the former Jade Cold Pool, Chi Qiongying. King Pill's cultivation level was at the peak, and she had a Natal Artifact that she had personally refined, the Solidifying Jade Bottle. There were three rivers and five seas in the bottle, the accumulation of Chi Qiongying's hundred years of cultivation. In terms of fighting ability, Chi Qiongying could be ranked in the top five in the entire harem of Moon Capital.
For Liu Li, drawing such an opponent seemed to be extremely disadvantageous. However, she looked very excited. There was not the slightest fear in her eyes, and the corner of her mouth was even slightly raised, revealing a clear smile. Chi Qiongying just sneered at this. During this period of time, she had heard people say that among the two newcomers, the taller one was shrewd and treacherous. Moreover, her strength was superior, far from being measured in terms of cultivation level. However, the more plump one was a pure fool. Apart from eating, she only giggled.
"Tsk, she's still giggling … Does she really think that she, a mere Xudan, is qualified to survive in the tournament? What a joke! "
Thinking of this, Chi Qiongying's heart gradually became hostile and murderous. She had no enmity with Liu Li, but in the previous ten rounds of competition, the result of the ten corpses had made her tacitly agree that the rule of this harem tournament was death.
Moreover, from her point of view, it was perfectly justified to kill a baby-faced girl, a newcomer who was likely to threaten her harem status.
Therefore, when the tournament officially began, she immediately turned the Solidifying Jade Bottle, and the waves of the three rivers and five seas surged out from the mouth of the bottle. The momentum of the waves was not inferior to Han Yu's original magical ability. For a Xudan cultivator, once caught in the flood, it would be a dead end.
Liu Li's offense was strong, but her defense was weak. If she was really trapped in the endless flood, it would indeed be difficult for her to get out. However, the keen intuition given to her by Brilliant Sword Heart allowed her to intuit this from the beginning.
When the mouth of Chi Qiongying's Solidifying Jade Bottle had just tilted down, twelve flying swords flew out from Liu Li's sleeve and went straight to the mouth of the Solidifying Jade Bottle, as if to destroy the mouth of the bottle with sharp sword momentum, so that the flood would be smothered in the bottle.
Chi Qiongying inwardly praised her cleverness, and then inwardly laughed at her for being a fool. The cleverness was that the other party could see that the biggest problem of the Solidifying Jade Bottle was the mouth of the bottle. The fool was that as the owner of the Solidifying Jade Bottle, how could she not know this defect? The most vulnerable place had already been laid out by her with the most powerful trap, and the other party's flying swords were precisely the same as walking right into the trap.
Although Liu Li's most powerful sword, the Skybreaker, was still in her hand, these twelve flying swords were obviously not ordinary. They must be her important magical treasure. Thus, she would first collect these twelve swords, and then slowly deal with her!
Chi Qiongying slightly withdrew her hand from the bottom of the bottle, and immediately, a powerful suction force gushed out from the mouth of the bottle. The twelve flying swords lost control in mid-air, cut off their connection with their master, and were shakily sucked into the bottle. Chi Qiongying smiled and felt the abundant spiritual power in the Solidifying Jade Bottle.
The next moment, her smile froze. The energy in the bottle soared, and in a split second, it broke through the safety threshold of the Solidifying Jade Bottle.
She tried to release the seal on the mouth of the bottle, but it was too late. The Solidifying Jade Bottle exploded in front of her eyes, and the water of the three rivers and five seas burst out, instantly drowning her. Chi Qiongying didn't even have the time to feel the pain of her palm being crushed, nor did she have the time to suppress the shattered Jade Mansion with her primordial spirit. She only felt that she was like a duckweed under a huge wave, and then in the torrential flood, a primal chaos sword light came at her face, taking away her last wisp of consciousness.
Outside the training field, the main concubine, Concubine Xiao Yun, suddenly got up and looked at the training field in disbelief.
In her line of sight, Liu Li was stepping on the flying sword in her hand, avoiding the violent eruption of the flood.
The training field of Moon Capital had been purified by a Daoist Master of Deity Stage, so the space was very malleable. From the outside, it seemed to be only three hundred meters square, but the actual space inside could accommodate a mountain range. However, at this time, most of it was submerged by the flood. Liu Li floated above the ocean, giggled, and then waved her slender hand. Suddenly, a simple and unadorned sword drilled out of the water and came to her side.
It was Liu Li's Skybreaker!
Concubine Xiao Yun immediately took a closer look and suddenly found out that the flying sword under Liu Li's foot was not Skybreaker, but just a gale sword.
With the strength of Concubine Xiao Yun's Yuanying Stage primordial spirit, she immediately began to recall every scene that she saw just now. Thus, she soon found out that just now, at the critical moment when Chi Qiongying released the three rivers water and collected the flying sword, Liu Li, with her Brilliant Sword Heart's magical ability, changed the position of Skybreaker and the gale sword.
"What a cunning little girl!" Concubine Xiao Yun glared at her and gnashed her teeth.
With Liu Li's peak Xudan Stage strength, coupled with Brilliant Sword Heart's full control of Skybreaker, she could indeed bring great trouble to Chi Qiongying, and was even hopeful to seriously injure her. However, the Jade Condensation Bottle was indeed worthy to be the magical treasure of a peak Daoist Master of King Pill. Once the three rivers and five seas came out, Chi Qiongying could completely survive in the water and could not be killed. On the other hand, Liu Li couldn't stand the consumption of a protracted fight.
In a full frontal confrontation, as long as her sword couldn't kill the opponent, Liu Li would be defeated without a doubt. In fact, before the fight, Concubine Xiao Yun had told Chi Qiongying to use her advantage in cultivation base to deal with the opponent, so that she would have a ten percent chance of winning. However, unexpectedly, the other party completely saw through their calculation and used an exceptionally treacherous little trick to directly kill Chi Qiongying … so that the opponent's magical ability could not be used!
It was indeed a good calculation. If they fought with cultivation base, no matter how strong Skybreaker was, its power would still be limited by its master's strength. Chi Qiongying could completely deal with it, but Chi Qiongying accidentally fell into the trap and put her Skybreaker into the Jade Condensation Bottle.
The Jade Condensation Bottle, which had barely reached the level of spiritual treasure and had yet to give birth to its spirit, actually had to contain the three rivers and five seas as well as an ancient immortal sword? Let alone in an unguarded situation?
Chi Qiongying thought that the twelve flying swords that came in were magical treasure level, so the Jade Condensation Bottle was more than enough. However, unexpectedly, there was actually an immortal sword hidden inside. How could the Jade Condensation Bottle bear it? Naturally, it instantly burst.
Whether it was Concubine Xiao Yun or Chi Qiongying, they both thought that this would be a one-sided fight. Whether it was cultivation base or wisdom, Chi Qiongying was far above the opponent. However, unexpectedly, they correctly estimated the cultivation base, but miscalculated the IQ.
"You hid it well, little girl. But the tournament has just begun, so we will meet again." Concubine Xiao Yun coldly said to Liu Li, "I hope at that time, your little cleverness can still save your life."
With that, Concubine Xiao Yun turned around and left, not even saying goodbye to Moonless. Moderately presumptuous was her privilege as the Empress, but Moonless didn't care. Her eyes were still on Liu Li. Just now, that decisive sword strike had aroused her great interest, especially that Skybreaker...
However, Liu Li didn't realize that her immortal sword had aroused the interest of a Daoist Master of Deity Stage. She was still immersed in great joy. The girl turned her head to look at Wang Lu outside the arena and loudly shouted, "Senior Sister! Just now, she praised me as smart! Hehe, Liu Li is also praised as smart. "
Wang Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Smart? Perhaps. That last last-minute sword strike was indeed smart, but it had nothing to do with IQ. What really played a role was Liu Li's intuition that was keener than a beast.
Under the Brilliant Sword Heart, the girl would not miss any opportunity. Even if she herself was unaware of that opportunity, her subconscious reaction would be to cut her throat.
In fact, this was the real terrifying part of the Brilliant Sword Heart. Compared to the all-conquering attack power, the key was the intuition that could bring this attack power to the limit!
With such judgment, even if Liu Li was only in Peak Xudan Stage, she would still be able to succeed in every endeavor in this harem tournament.
However, the real test was still behind. Judging from the reaction of Moonless, perhaps this farce of a harem tournament would not end well … It was time to consider when to withdraw.
