Lin Yuan challenged Wang Xiong, who had just entered the top three in the Seven Prefectures Feast and was currently ranked third.
One was the 'external aid' that the Mystic Jade Mansion's Flame Howl Sect had found. He was suspected to be a prodigy from a Godly Venerable family.
The other was a hidden prodigy from the famous Cold Mountain Residence. He was the biggest dark horse in this Seven Prefectures Feast. His strength was amazing, and he had defeated all the other prodigies along the way.
A breeze blew, and the robes of the two young prodigies fluttered slightly.
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly quieted down after Lin Donglai said, "Let's begin."
Everyone held their breaths, waiting for the two to make their moves. However, neither of them made a move.
The crowd was not surprised by this.
After all, at their level, it was not necessarily a good thing to strike first. If one was caught by the opponent, even if they did not lose their chance of winning, they would still be at a disadvantage temporarily.
Under normal circumstances, being at a disadvantage temporarily would not have much of an impact.
However, if the opponent seized the opportunity and attacked relentlessly, it could become one's greatest disadvantage.
"Who is stronger between the two?"
"Lin Yuan? Wang Xiong? "
…
The discussion of the group of Pure Sun Sect's disciples resonated in Duan Ling Tian's ears. Their discussion was actually the same as Duan Ling Tian's. He was also curious about who was stronger between the two of them.
Furthermore, the two of them would be his most troublesome opponents in the competition for first place in the Seven Prefectures Feast.
Whoosh!
In the end, Wang Xiong made the first move. The moment he made his move, his sword pierced through the air. A dazzling golden sword ray shot directly towards Lin Yuan. It looked like a simple sword move, but it made the faces of the prodigies turn solemn.
This sword strike appeared to be very simple. It was a casual stab. However, the aura on the sword ray made all of them feel a dangerous aura.
The one who felt it the most was naturally Lin Yuan, Wang Xiong's current opponent.
As Wang Xiong's sword moved, the indifference on Lin Yuan's face disappeared and was replaced by a solemn expression. He had obviously sensed that Wang Xiong's sword move was not simple.
In the next instant, Lin Yuan also moved.
A destructive aura rose from his body. Then, a top-tier divine sword also rose into the air. It carried a frightening destructive aura as it swept out.
The sword swept out like a burning stick, causing the void to tremble. It let out a bellows-like roar as it met Wang Xiong's sword.
A moment later, the sweeping sword and the thrusting sword collided with one another.
At the moment of collision, silence reigned.
After a short while, a loud sound was heard without any warning. Then, the battle between the destructive power and the golden power intensified.
Whoosh!!
While the first wave of attacks clashed, Wang Xiong and Lin Yuan didn't stay idle. Both of them moved at the same time, drawing their swords and darting towards each other.
Then, it was a round of close combat.
The two of them fought fiercely. Their Qi energy wreaked havoc, and the air in the entire void shook. The spectators could feel that the void space in front of them was not very stable.
Clearly, the battle between the two had affected the stability of the space to a certain extent.
Bang!!
A loud sound was heard. It was Lin Yuan who stepped into the air. His entire body seemed to have turned into a sharp sword, soaring into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he was behind the clouds and disappeared.
A moment later, another loud sound was heard. It was Wang Xiong who had chased after him.
After a while, a series of loud noises came from the top of the clouds. The clouds that were originally gathered together also dispersed, and there was a cloudless blue sky in everyone's vision.
The two of them didn't fight for long above the clouds. Soon, they stepped into the air again and descended.
In the eyes of the spectators, the two of them fought more and more fiercely. It didn't take long for both of them to display amazing strength …
The strength that Wang Xiong displayed was no weaker than when he defeated Yuan Moyu.
The same was true for Lin Yuan. The strength that he displayed now was no weaker than when he defeated Tuoba Xiu.
Moreover, as they continued to fight, the strength of the two seemed to be still rising …
"These two have been hiding so much of their strength?"
"Looking at the history of the Seven Prefectures Feast, there should be very few such monsters in the history, right? They're not even ten thousand years old, but they have such battle strength? "
"Lin Yuan might be a genius from a Godly Venerable level clan … But this Wang Xiong, what's up with him? Does this Wang Xiong also have a Godly Venerable level clan behind him? "
"There is indeed a Godly Venerable level clan with the surname Wang in the vicinity of the Seven Prefectures … However, I heard from the people in the Cold Mountain Residence that Wang Xiong grew up in the Cold Mountain Residence. His parents are ordinary disciples of the Cold Mountain Residence. He shouldn't be related to that Godly Venerable level clan."
…
While the crowd was discussing, Duan Lingtian's expression became more and more solemn.
"These two still haven't reached the end?"
Now, he was already feeling tremendous pressure. If these two continued to show their strength, it would be harder for him to win first place than to climb to the heavens!
In fact, to him, to win first place, he didn't need to defeat the two in front of him at all. He only needed to fight to a draw with them.
However, if these two continued to show their strength and displayed even greater strength …
Then, even if it was a draw, he had no confidence in winning.
Now, Duan Lingtian wasn't the only one who had a solemn expression.
The Consonance Mansion's Qi Tian Sect's genius, Han Di, had an extremely ugly expression because the strength displayed by the two in the field had far surpassed his …
"Looks like there's no hope for the top three this time."
Han Di sighed inwardly.
In fact, to him, whether or not he could enter the top three was actually not that important … but to the Qi Tian Sect, it was extremely important!
It was also because of this that the Qi Tian Sect had spent a great deal of effort to cultivate him in secret.
Thinking of this, Han Di glanced sideways at the Qi Tian Sect's senior executives. As expected, the group of people didn't look too good.
"It feels like … their strength is stronger than Duan Lingtian's!"
Seeing that the two in the field were beginning to activate their bloodline power, Han Di's heart stirred as he thought to himself, "Although Duan Lingtian didn't use his bloodline power back then, he has a law clone.
"However, he didn't use his law clone back then, but his strength was already stronger than mine.
"I just don't know if his law clone boosts his strength as much as the bloodline power of these two people … If it does, perhaps he'll have a fighting chance. If it doesn't, he'll definitely lose! "
Although Han Di and Duan Lingtian had only displayed their strength for a brief moment back then, Han Di still had a certain understanding of Duan Lingtian's strength.
In the field, Lin Yuan and Wang Xiong had displayed their bloodline power one after another.
However, they were still evenly matched.
"I'm afraid these two will end up in a draw."
Now, it wasn't just Duan Lingtian who thought so. Even the senior executives of the various Manors and major forces present, including the Middle God Emperors, basically thought so too.
Based on the current situation, the two of them didn't seem to be holding back anymore.
Seeing this, Duan Lingtian secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
This was fine.
If these two people were even stronger, he really wouldn't have any hope of securing first place in this Seven Manors Banquet!
Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, Duan Lingtian suddenly seemed to have sensed something, and his pupils abruptly shrank. "Something's not right!"
At the same time that Duan Lingtian's pupils shrank, Ye Chenfeng, who was sitting on a small floating island, had a subtle change in his originally calm expression. "Somewhat interesting."
In the field, the originally evenly matched situation was directly broken with Wang Xiong's sudden burst of strength!
Swoosh!
The crisp sound of the sword emitted a dazzling golden light, but at the same time, there was an extremely sharp aura that tore apart Lin Yuan's attack in one fell swoop and then defeated Lin Yuan!
The originally deadlocked situation was directly broken.
"Wah —"
Lin Yuan was sent flying, and blood spurted out of his mouth. When he looked at Wang Xiong again, his eyes were filled with disbelief. "This is … the fledgling form of Sword Dao?"
In fact, Lin Yuan was also proficient in the sword.
In fact, he had spent a lot of effort to master Sword Dao, and he already had some understanding of the fledgling form of Sword Dao, and there was hope for him to master it.
However, there was only hope for him to master it.
In today's battle with Wang Xiong, he realized that in terms of Sword Dao, Wang Xiong's attainment was also very deep and was not weaker than his. In fact, Wang Xiong was probably just a step away from mastering the fledgling form of Sword Dao.
Just like him.
In the intense battle with Wang Xiong, he actually had the intention to train himself, so he didn't hold back and went all out.
However, he didn't expect that in the end, he would break through the bottleneck of Sword Dao comprehension and master the fledgling form of Sword Dao, helping Wang Xiong instead …
"Many thanks."
At this moment, Wang Xiong's face was filled with joy, and at the same time, he bowed slightly to thank Lin Yuan, who was sent flying by him. His tone was also filled with unconcealable excitement.
"Forget it."
Lin Yuan sighed. "You and I are originally evenly matched … Now that you have mastered the fledgling form of Sword Dao, I am no match for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan retreated.
As the host, Elder Lin Donglai of the Flame Howl Sect also sighed subconsciously. He originally thought that with Lin Yuan around, the first place of the Seven Prefectures Banquet was already set in stone.
However, he didn't expect that in this Seven Prefectures Banquet, there would be an anomaly like Wang Xiong.
Previously, although he knew that Wang Xiong was not weak, he didn't expect him to be so strong.
"Wang Xiong won?"
When Lin Yuan left the stage, the crowd was stunned. It was only after a while that they regained their senses one after another, and their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
"Wang Xiong defeated Lin Yuan?"
"Just now, he seemed to have mastered the fledgling form of Sword Dao?"
"He broke through at the last minute and defeated Lin Yuan?"
…
At the Seven Prefectures Banquet, everyone was shocked.
Even Duan Ling Tian's gaze when he looked at Wang Xiong again was filled with seriousness.
This Wang Xiong had mastered the fledgling form of Sword Dao, and his strength had increased.
This would also be his greatest opponent in this Seven Prefectures Banquet in order to obtain the first place!
On the other hand, the Cold Mountain Residence of the Famous Residence was filled with joy. Even the middle-level God Emperor expert leading the Cold Mountain Residence didn't expect Wang Xiong to be able to defeat Lin Yuan.
He thought that it would be good enough if he could draw.
However, he didn't expect Wang Xiong to master the fledgling form of Sword Dao at the crucial moment and defeat Lin Yuan in one move!
