"Hiss!" A Nine Hell Snake cub flicked its tongue. Its entire body was black, and its head was as ferocious as a dragon's. Its pale golden eyes glowed faintly, and its pair of black wings expanded slightly, emitting a faint black light. It seemed to have sensed Mu Yao's resentment and was very docile and affectionate.
"Let's see how that kid will hide in three days!"
Mu Yao clenched her teeth as she stroked the Nine Hell Snake cub's head that was as ferocious as a dragon's head.
She had been chasing after Su Yi in the Myriad Sword Battlefield, not only for the battle back then, but also for the Mystical Spiritual Fruit.
How could she not be angry that Su Yi had managed to escape in the few times that they had met?
"Boom!" Hearing Mu Yao's words, the Nine Hell Snake cub flapped its wings, and a mighty aura spread out from its body. It hissed and flicked its tongue, as if it wanted to stand up for Mu Yao.
"Your cultivation is still not high enough. That kid has some skills, and you are still not his match. When you grow into a real Nine Hell Snake one day, you will be able to swallow that kid alive." Mu Yao stroked the Nine Hell Snake cub's ferocious head, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.
"Master has said before that there is always someone better than you. Do you believe me now?"
A voice was heard, and a beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes quietly appeared. Her figure was exquisite under her plain long skirt, and her beautiful black hair was tied up into a flowing cloud bun. There was a jade hairpin in the bun, and she looked elegant yet luxurious.
"Master."
Looking at the beautiful woman Su Yi, Mu Yao immediately pouted and said softly, "This was just an accident. In terms of true strength, he will definitely lose!"
"In the Myriad Sword Battlefield, everything depends on strength. There are no accidents or coincidences."
There was a smile in the plain clothed woman's eyes. Her bright eyes were deep and dark and it seemed as if they could make one sink into them. She smiled at Mu Yao, a doting look in her eyes as she said, "That little fellow was able to obtain the Mysterious Spirit Fruit and so many Sword Rune Stones. This proves that he did not rely on an accident. He will be a true opponent for you."
Mu Yao raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth. She gave a low snort and pouted, "Hmph, I'll make him hand over the Mystical Spiritual Fruit in three days. Otherwise, I won't be so courteous!"
The night was like a curtain in the sky. The new moon hung diagonally in the sky, and the stars twinkled.
On the mountain peak, a young man in white stood tall and straight. Under the dim moonlight, his black eyes shone with a dazzling light.
The young man was Yun Lingfeng, who was ranked second in the Sword Pagoda. However, at this moment, Yun Lingfeng didn't look too good.
"Not being able to obtain the Mysterious Spirit Fruit is a pity, but there will be opportunities to make up for it in the future. However, no accidents can happen in this Thousand Sword Conference, as this matter is of the utmost importance. Are you confident in the duel in three days?"
An old man spoke, his eyes shining brightly. It was Elder Bai Mingshan.
"After preparing for so long, I also want to see how Ryugun River has improved over the years. Back then, I lost to him so that he would let down his guard. I have prepared for so long for the duel in three days." Yun Lingfeng spoke, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
"Three days later, there is no room for mistakes. Also, there is one more person who may be your greatest threat." Elder Bai Mingshan said.
"Although Su Yi is somewhat capable, he is only relying on his ability to subdue Brute Demon Beasts. He is still not enough to be my true opponent."
Yun Lingfeng said in a deep voice. When he thought of that brat, there was an indescribable anger in his heart.
Z/Update (Fastest Update: Cool U Craftsman; K Net)
A brat that Elder Su had brought into the Shenjian Gate from god knows where had actually made him suffer in the Myriad Sword Battlefield.
However, that brat only had some unorthodox skills. In Elder Bai Mingshan's heart, that brat was not a true opponent.
"That brat is not simple. His performance in the Heavenly Platform was too dazzling. You have to be careful. However, there is one person you have to pay attention to this time, and it is not him!"
Elder Bai Mingshan knew that Su Yi was not simple. However, he knew his own disciple the best. At least, that brat Su Yi was not enough to be his disciple's true opponent for the time being. He said to Yun Lingfeng, "You have to pay attention to that girl called Mu Yao. Her background is not simple."
"Mu Yao …"
Yun Lingfeng's eyes moved slightly. How could he not know her? There was no ranking in the Sword Pagoda. Her strength had always been a mystery.
However, he did not care about that. When he mentioned her name, there was a fluctuation in his heart. A graceful figure in orange appeared in his mind.
However, she was the disciple of Elder Ouyang. She was obviously in front of him, but he could not reach her.
"That girl's background is mysterious. She was brought into the Shenjian Gate by Elder Ouyang. In the entire Shenjian Gate, I am afraid that only the Sect Leader knows her identity." Elder Bai Mingshan frowned slightly. There were some things that even he, an Elder, did not know.
…
The night was hazy.
However, the Divine Sword Sect was unusually lively. The list of the 68 disciples who were qualified to set foot on Lingjian Peak for the final battle three days later had been announced, which shocked the entire Shenjian Gate.
All the inner disciples and pro-disciples of this year were still immersed in shock. No one had expected that Su Yi would be the first, Situ Muyang would be the second, and Mu Yao would be the third.
Before this, no one would have thought that these three names would occupy the top three of the sixty-eight spots.
And among the top 20, there were outer disciples such as Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and Liu Ji, which surprised people.
"Su Yi and Situ Muyang robbed so many people and collected a lot of Sword Pattern Stones. Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and Liu Ji are all disciples of the 36th Sword Peak like Su Yi. The Sword Pattern Stones must be from Su Yi."
Some people speculated that the strength of Su Yi and Situ Muyang was beyond doubt, but Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and others must have gotten the Sword Pattern Stones for free, which was why they occupied several places among the 68 places.
"In the final battle three days later, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and others will not be opponents!" Some disciples said.
"I heard that Situ Muyang is the son of the Sect Leader and has only recently returned to the Shenjian Gate!"
"No wonder Situ Muyang is so young, but his cultivation is already so strong."
"There is a disciple called Mu Yao. I don't think I've heard of her before."
"I've seen Mu Yao before. She subdued an eight-winged demonic python in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. She is very strong. Among the 68 places this time, she is ranked third, only below Su Yi and Situ Muyang."
"I accidentally heard that this Mu Yao is very mysterious in the sect."
"…"
As the disciples walked out of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, the 68 places were announced. Situ Muyang, Mu Yao, and some other outstanding disciples immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Some were happy, while others were sad. Many direct disciples, such as Pu Qingqing and Pu Hao, cursed in their hearts.
