"Why did they have to use such a huge arena instead of the Ten Thousand Secret Realm? What the hell are they trying to do?"
Chu Kuangren frowned.
"Chu Kuangren, it's already a miracle that the Black Heaven Sect managed to come this far. However, we shall be the champion today!"
The Sky Emperor Palace Lord said to Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren glanced at him. "The Overlord Sage Tribe Leader said the same thing before, but his Young Emperor ended up pinned to the wall."
"Let's wait and see then."
The Sky Emperor Palace Lord was not angry. He smiled faintly, looking as if victory was already in his grasp, as if he had something to rely on.
"I think there's something fishy about this finals." Chu Kuangren rubbed his chin as he scanned the Sky Emperor Palace's sky-prides.
He activated his Eye of Revelation.
These sky-prides did not change much. Their strengths were still the same. Compared to Nangong Huang and the others, Nangong Huang and the others still had a higher chance of winning.
Where did the Sky Emperor Palace Lord get his confidence from?
At that thought, Chu Kuangren looked at the judges.
"Did they bribe the judges?!"
"No way. Are these sage orthodoxies that shameless? Besides, even if they did, can they still distort the truth in front of everyone? "Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
While he was deep in thought, the matches had already begun.
The Sky Emperor Palace's first representative was Jing Nian.
"Sect Leader, let me go first."
Jun Yi smiled. She had witnessed Jing Nian's strength in the previous matches, so she was confident that she could defeat her.
Chu Kuangren compared the information of both parties.
If it was a one-on-one battle, Jun Yi's chances of winning were more than eighty percent. After some thought, he agreed. "Be careful."
"Alright."
Jun Yi nodded and walked into the arena.
She and Jing Nian looked at each other and walked into the circle of light together.
When they reappeared, they were already in a spacious underground cave. Dim candlelight flickered around them.
Jun Yi looked around and found that the stone walls of the cave contained some kind of strange material, like some kind of ore.
"Could this be a mineral vein?"
Jun Yi thought to herself.
At that moment, a palm qi came whistling from behind her.
A sword appeared in Jun Yi's hand, and with a backhand slash, a water-blue Sword Qi disintegrated the palm Qi, and she used the momentum to retreat several dozen feet.
Opposite her, Jing Nian who was dressed in red was staring at her. Her entire body was circulating with a surging Daoist Rhyme as she raised her hand and launched another palm attack.
"Is this the Sky Emperor Palace's Saint Technique, Six Combined Palms?"
Jun Yi recognized this palm technique and counterattacked with her sword.
The long sword danced, and the aqua blue sword light seemed to transform into endless waves. It was the Saint Technique, Tidal Sword Technique.
She cultivated the water-based Sword Principle, so this set of sword techniques was very compatible with her. The power she displayed was even stronger than Nangong Huang's.
The unceasing sword energy disintegrated the palm energy. Jing Nian's expression changed abruptly as she could not help but be slammed into the stone wall by the sword energy.
"Such powerful Sword Qi."
Jing Nian was secretly shocked.
"If you don't want to suffer, then admit defeat."
Jun Yi said lightly.
"Admit defeat? How is that possible?"
Jing Nian took out a guqin. "I'll let you witness the power of the Sky Emperor Palace's number one guqin technique, the Honourable Emperor Tune."
The moment she took out the guqin, Jun Yi immediately attacked. Sword energy surrounded her like a tsunami.
Jing Nian's expression changed as she played with all ten of her fingers.
The sound of the guqin reverberated in the underground cave. It was vast and majestic like the arrival of an emperor, causing the entire underground cave to shake.
The violent sound of the guqin shattered the sword energy around Jun Yi and pushed her back in an instant. The hand that was holding the sword was trembling slightly.
"How is this possible?!"
Jun Yi could not believe it.
She had seen Jing Nian's guqin music in the competition before, but the power of her guqin music was far from this level.
How did it suddenly become so much stronger?
Even Jing Nian herself could not believe it, let alone Jun Yi.
"What's going on?"
"Wait a minute …" Jing Nian suddenly noticed something. She looked at the surrounding mountain walls and said in surprise, "This is a mine, and the ore here is an Echo Stone."
The Echo Stone, as its name suggested, was a stone that could produce echoes. One or two Echo Stones would not enhance the power of the guqin music.
But now, there was an entire Echo Mineral Vein here!
Jing Nian's guqin music could be greatly enhanced here. It would be a piece of cake for her to deal with an Honorable Supreme here.
"Hah, the heavens are on my side!"
Jing Nian thought that she was lucky that the competition was held here. She quickly plucked the strings of the guqin excitedly.
The sound of the guqin reverberated wildly in the entire Echo Stone Vein. With the support of the stone vein, the sound would not stop for a long time, and its power would multiply!
Boom, boom!
Wave after wave of guqin music crashed into Jun Yi like a tidal wave. Even though Jun Yi tried her best to block it and activate her sword energy, it was still not enough in the face of the power that was supported by the geographical advantage.
Soon, Jun Yi was severely injured. She gripped her longsword tightly and activated her spiritual energy to resist the guqin music. She forced her body to move and attack, but her consciousness was beginning to blur under the interference of the guqin music.
In the arena, on the viewing platform.
A surge of raging Daoist Rhyme swept out.
Chu Kuangren's gaze was like lightning as he looked at the judges. "I need an explanation. Why is there an Echo Stone Vein in the competition venue?"
Under Chu Kuangren's domineering aura, the Thirteenth Prefect felt his legs turn to jelly. He bit the bullet and said, "The Ten Thousand Secret Realm contains many locations, and the competition venue is randomly selected from these locations."
"Are you trying to tell me that we're just unlucky that we randomly picked this Echo Stone Vein in the competition?"
Chu Kuangren said coldly.
"Sect Leader Chu, please calm down. You can't blame the judges just because you're unlucky, can you?"
The Sky Emperor Palace Lord chuckled.
"Sky Emperor Palace Lord, you should know better than me whether it's really luck or not." Chu Kuangren suppressed his anger and said.
"Sect Leader, this is bad. Jun Yi can't hold on any longer."
Murong Xuan said in a serious tone.
Under the influence of the guqin music, Jun Yi, who was in the mine, had already started to bleed from all seven orifices. Even so, she still did not collapse. However, everyone could tell that she could not win.
"We admit defeat for this match!"
Chu Kuangren said coldly to the Thirteenth Prefect.
He could not risk Jun Yi's life for a mere competition.
"The competition will only end if the contestant personally surrenders, or if it's confirmed that she has lost consciousness and no longer has the ability to resist. Otherwise, even Sect Leader Chu has no right to stop the competition."
The Thirteenth Prefect said with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
He had lost so many soulstones to Chu Kuangren, so it was only natural that he held a grudge against Chu Kuangren. Now that he saw Chu Kuangren being defeated, he was secretly pleased.
Buzz.
A sword qi slashed across the Thirteenth Prefect's body, splitting the judges' booth into two. The Thirteenth Prefect, who was secretly pleased with himself, was so shocked by the sudden sword qi that he fell to the ground. A chill ran down his spine and quickly engulfed his entire body. It was as if he had just taken a trip to the gates of hell.
"Don't force me to tear down the First City!"
Chu Kuangren's gaze was as cold as a sword as he stared at the Thirteenth Prefect.
This time, the Thirteenth Prefect did not dare to say anything more. He hurriedly opened the light barrier and sent both Jing Nian and Jun Yi back to the arena.
