Han Qing was also extremely famous in the Yan Prefecture. Now that he had a cultivation base at the second level of Heavenly Dipper, his swordplay was as fast as the wind.
Out of his four Astral Souls, two were speed-type Astral Souls, while the other two were sword-type Astral Souls. What he pursued was precisely speed.
There was no need to doubt the attacking prowess of the sword. Hence, as long as one had sufficient speed, they could easily defeat their opponent.
At this moment, the young man standing opposite of Han Qing had a cultivation base at the first level of Heavenly Dipper. Although he was extremely powerful, Han Qing was confident that his opponent wouldn't be able to last more than ten moves.
Opposite of Han Qing, the young man wielding the ancient halberd could clearly see the slight smile on Han Qing's face. However, there was no expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
The others also found their own opponents. Forty-eight people, a total of twenty-four battles. Luckily, the public square was large enough to support their battles.
"Please guide me."
The young man wielding the ancient halberd calmly spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, Han Qing casually smiled, "Sir, be careful."
As the sound of his voice faded, his sword was like the wind. His silhouette was enveloped by the wind, transforming into a series of afterimages, as fast as lightning. His sword, Startling Wind, was like a mirage.
The moment the sword struck out, the halberd-wielding young man seemed to have all of his escape routes firmly sealed off. No matter which direction he dodged to, as long as there was a slight change in his opponent's sword move, he would immediately be able to take advantage of it.
However, the halberd wielding young man didn't seem to have any intentions of evading.
Qin Wentian took a small step forward. It was as though this single step caused the entire space to move with him. He was like the ruler of this space. The ancient halberd in his hands abruptly pierced out, tyrannical like a dragon, pressing forward with an indomitable will.
"Wind Shadow." His opponent released his will of Mandates. Han Qing's body seemed to have transformed into the shadow of the wind. His body seemed to have suddenly disappeared, hidden within the wind. However, the sword qi he released was still as strong as ever.
A cold light flashed, Startling Wind, piercing towards the halberd wielding young man. This thrilling scene caused the spectators to sigh in admiration at the exquisiteness of this sword technique that was infused with Mandates.
With such speed, the halberd wielding young man had no way to defend against it. But at this moment, a thunderous sound rang out.
The ancient halberd actually collided head-on with the sword. There wasn't the slightest bit of sloppiness. This strike was clean and could be said to be perfect.
"This …" Those who were paying attention to the battle were momentarily stunned. How did the halberd wielding youth do it? Han Qing had transformed into a gust of wind, and when his sword had struck out, it had already descended upon the halberd-wielding youth's body. But how was it that Han Qing was able to use his ancient halberd to block the opponent's sword?
Naturally, there were also those who clearly saw the movements of the halberd-wielding young man. They were even more shocked because they discovered that at the instant Han Qing's silhouette disappeared, the ancient halberd of the young man was already moving. There wasn't the slightest bit of hesitation in his movements, it accurately retracted for an instant before explosively blasting out. Coincidentally, the sword of his opponent appeared.
It was as though the halberd wielding young man was able to predict where Han Qing's sword would strike from. This caused the spectators to feel a chill in their hearts. Han Qing's Wind Shadow was formless and formless. That was the power of a second level Mandate, yet his opponent was actually able to accurately counter it with no hesitation at all.
Han Qing also believed that even if he couldn't instantly defeat his opponent, it would at least cause his opponent to be flustered. After which, his Startling Wind Sword would be able to cause his opponent to suffer a crushing defeat. However, things didn't go as he wished. When the ancient halberd collided with his sword, he actually felt an irresistible force directly blasting into his chest. It was as though the force of the halberd had traveled through space, causing his body to be battered by waves of terrifying energy.
"Pu …" Coughing out a mouthful of fresh blood, Han Qing explosively retreated. However, he only saw his opponent chasing after him with lightning speed. Han Qing's countenance paled as he howled, "I admit defeat!"
As the sound of his voice faded, the silhouette of the halberd wielding young man landed cleanly on the ground. His countenance didn't fluctuate in the slightest.
This battle was the quickest to end, causing many to cast a few more glances at the young man as shock filled their hearts. This young man had a cultivation base at the first level of Heavenly Dipper, yet he was able to cause Han Qing to vomit blood with a single strike. He was definitely an extraordinary character, yet they didn't recognize him at all.
In the entire Nine Prefectures of Grand Xia, they had never heard of a young genius wielding an ancient halberd.
Unless, this young man wasn't someone from the Nine Prefectures, and had never roamed around the Nine Continents before, which was why he didn't attract any attention. But now, he was here for the Pill Emperor Hall's son-in-law selection. Did he want to make a name for himself with a single battle?
Not long after, the first battle ended. On the public square, only twenty-four people remained.
"The majority of these twenty-four are actually geniuses from the transcendent powers."
The silhouette at the entrance of the Pill Emperor Hall stared at these people. Would Mo Qingcheng's future husband be chosen from among these people?
Who would be the final victor?
"Let's continue, find your opponents and defeat them." Luo He's voice was serene, as though she was speaking of an insignificant matter. The instant the sound of her voice faded, other than a select few, the others all moved. They wanted to find the easiest opponent to defeat. Only then would they be able to proceed further down the rankings.
Although the halberd wielding young man had defeated Han Qing, his cultivation base was after all only at the first level of Heavenly Dipper. Compared to the other participants, many felt that it would be easier to deal with him. Hence, there were three people who dashed towards him at the same time. However, the person closest to the halberd wielding young man was the first to act.
That person didn't give the other two any chance, he directly acted against the halberd wielding young man.
The instant he acted, it meant that he had already chosen his opponent. There was no room for others to interfere.
But at the instant he moved, the halberd wielding young man also moved. His speed was like a bolt of lightning, fast. The halberd wielding young man's speed was in no way slower than Han Qing's Wind Shadow. In a flash, his ancient halberd violently slashed out. This strike contained no feints, it was the most direct, most tyrannical halberd strike.
In fact, it couldn't even be considered an innate technique. It was merely a halberd strike.
This seemingly ordinary halberd strike caused everyone to feel as if it was the only thing left in the entire area.
The young man attacking the halberd wielding young man was also at the second level of Heavenly Dipper. When he gathered his strength and counterattacked, the howl of a ferocious beast could be heard as he transformed into an incomparably terrifying flood dragon. His body was akin to the body of a flood dragon as his gigantic palm imprint slammed towards the ancient halberd.
"AOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Just like his previous battle with Han Qing, he ended the battle with a single move. He was still the fastest person to do so.
Although this young man with a halberd cultivation base is relatively weak, most of the rest of the people present are Heavenly Dipper Realm 3rd layer experts, but the strength of two consecutive games still makes him attract enough attention.
However, the next winner will be the existence of the third stage of the Heavenly Dipper Realm. I'm afraid that the halberd youth will stop here.
And as expected, after this battle ended, the remaining twelve participants, other than the halberd wielding young man, were all existences at the third level of Heavenly Dipper.
Not only that, every single one of them was a famous character. The halberd wielding young man standing at the top seemed to be a little out of place.
Chen Lie, Wang Yifei, Hua Cheng, Shi Kuang, Xiao Yu … etc. Which one of them wasn't a famous character?
Luo He stared at the remaining twelve, her countenance as calm as ever. Among these twelve, there were many extraordinary characters. However, Luo He wasn't satisfied with any of them. After all, none of them were the most outstanding among the transcendent powers.
But now, what she wanted was no longer to choose a good husband for Mo Qingcheng.
Lifting her gaze, Luo He stared at the towering demon sword far away.
He hasn't appeared yet.
She wanted to see how long he could endure after bringing the demon sword into the Moon Continent.
"Continue."
Luo He's voice was devoid of any emotions. She didn't even set any rules, she merely allowed the battles to continue.
In the end, only three would remain. As for who she would choose, she had already made up her mind long ago. It didn't matter anymore because this wasn't her most important goal.
"This Luo He actually only set such a simple rule, allowing them to continue being eliminated." The hearts of the spectators were filled with shock. But in a battle like this, there was a possibility that the stronger ones would be eliminated by the stronger ones.
This time around, the movements of those participants actually slowed down. After which, some of them started walking towards their opponents.
"Xiao Yu chose the halberd wielding young man. Seems like the outcome of this battle has already been decided. What sort of character is Xiao Yu? Among the younger generation of Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns from the Star-Seizing Manor, he can be ranked within the top three.
The halberd wielding young man was as calm as ever, as though he would always be like this.
"BANG!" Xiao Yu stepped out, his palms seizing the stars. His terrifying Star-Seizing Palm Imprint annihilated the entire space as a terrifying astral light flashed, as though he wanted to kill the halberd wielding young man with a single strike.
The halberd wielding young man slashed out with an indomitable will, as though this was the only halberd art he knew. However, when the ancient halberd collided with the terrifying Star-Seizing Palm Imprint, it actually shattered into pieces.
Xiao Yu coldly snorted. How could a mere first-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign defend against his Star-Seizing Palm Imprint?
With a flick of his sleeves, his palms abruptly expanded as he blasted out yet another palm strike. This time around, the halberd wielding young man was enveloped by astral light, akin to a prison. Xiao Yu's palm strike wanted to pluck the stars and reap his life.
"BANG!" Terrifying astral energy erupted from the location of the halberd wielding young man as the Star-Seizing Palm Imprint crushed everything in its path. However, at this very moment, a whistling sound rang out as those from the Star-Seizing Manor abruptly stood up. Their countenances froze as they stared at the scene before them.
The ancient halberd had directly pierced into Xiao Yu's throat.
Xiao Yu thought that this strike should have ended the battle. But in that instant, the halberd wielding young man actually appeared behind Xiao Yu, directly piercing through Xiao Yu's heart.
The halberd wielding young man had his back facing Xiao Yu. The other end of the ancient halberd was still dripping with fresh blood, and the sound of his voice caused the hearts of those who heard it to tremble.
The halberd wielding young man had killed Xiao Yu from the Star-Seizing Manor.
"The Venerate Heavens Sect also sent out experts to participate in this matter?" The countenances of those from the Star-Seizing Manor turned ashen.
This technique, Stellar Transposition, was one of the nine ultimate arts of Grand Xia. The Venerate Heavens Sect was the most proficient in using this technique.
The halberd wielding young man slowly turned around as he pulled out his ancient halberd. Xiao Yu's body fell to the ground as he stared at those from the Star-Seizing Manor with an ice-cold countenance.
Naturally, he wasn't someone from the Venerate Heavens Sect. He was none other than Qin Wentian.
He suppressed all his anger because he had yet to see Mo Qingcheng. He also couldn't sense where she was.
Hence, he could only use the disguise technique he obtained from Di Feng to alter his appearance. He had to take the risk of participating in the Pill Emperor Hall's son-in-law selection. He needed a chance to interact with Mo Qingcheng!
