Sha Tongtian had been practicing sword techniques secretly. He broke through the bottleneck 2 years ago and reached the intermediate stage of the Crystallization Period. It could be said that his cultivation speed was the most amazing among the new disciples in the Tianjian Peak. At that time, it also caused a lot of heated discussion in the Sect.
Not long ago, he transferred a lot of resources from the family and spent countless efforts to refine the true spirit flying sword. His strength had improved greatly.
Now although Sha Tongtian was a little surprised that he couldn't sense Liu Ming's aura, he was more confident in his own strength, so he proposed the challenge without thinking too much.
"Alright, since Senior Fellow Apprentice Sha is interested in this, I will accompany you." Liu Ming's mind turned slightly, and he agreed without saying anything.
Seeing this, the other Tianjian Peak disciples whispered for a while, looking at Liu Ming with different expressions.
After all, Liu Ming's reputation was not small among the new disciples. Now that he agreed to compete with Sha Tongtian, they were naturally very excited.
"Very well, we don't have to run too far. We can just compete in the arena of the nearby Yuan Ming Peak." Seeing that Liu Ming agreed, Sha Tongtian showed a smile on his face. He touched the sword pouch on his waist and said.
Liu Ming naturally had no objection.
So Sha Tongtian's figure blurred, turned into a pure white sword light, and blasted in a certain direction.
Seeing this, the few people next to him hurriedly turned into escape lights and followed him.
Liu Ming smiled faintly. A black light rolled under his feet, and he followed the crowd slowly.
After a while, they arrived at the arena at the foot of a huge mountain nearby.
It was early in the morning, and there were many inner disciples who came to compete in the arena. The arrival of Sha Tongtian and others immediately caused a commotion.
Obviously, Sha Tongtian was quite famous on this peak.
As for Liu Ming, his appearance was ordinary. Except for the major competition in the Sect, he rarely appeared in the Sect these years, so no one recognized him on the spot.
Liu Ming naturally did not care about this. He merely followed Sha Tongtian and the rest to the largest arena in the center of the arena and waited quietly.
When the disciples who were originally scattered around saw this, they immediately understood what was going on. They all gathered around, and not long after, they surrounded the arena so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. Whispers rose and fell, and it was obvious that they were all guessing who this sword cultivator, who was at the peak of the Sect, was going to compete with.
Not long after, a white rainbow whistled over from the distant horizon.
Before everyone could regain their senses, the white rainbow had already landed in front of Sha Tongtian and the others. After the white light faded, a middle-aged man in a white robe was revealed.
The noisy surroundings immediately quietened down.
"Elder Long!" Sha Tongtian and the others immediately bowed to the middle-aged man with a respectful attitude.
Liu Ming also bowed.
This man in a white robe was a cultivator of the Jin Dan Realm. He should be an elder of this Yuan Ming Peak, and was invited by Sha Tongtian and the others to be the referee.
Among Sha Tongtian and the others, someone quickly came forward and explained the situation to the man in a white robe in a low voice. When the man in a white robe heard this, his gaze fell on Sha Tongtian and Liu Ming. He nodded slightly and said,
"I see. Since the two of you are going to compete, I will personally host it. However, in the competition between inner sect disciples, remember to not overdo it. Do not intentionally hurt your opponent. "The man in a white robe warned solemnly.
"Of course."
"Yes."
Liu Ming and Liu Ming agreed and leaped at the same time. In the next moment, they appeared on the arena and stood facing each other.
When the man in a white robe saw this, he waved his robe and a milky white semicircle barrier opened up around the arena.
When the disciples below the arena saw the situation, there was a commotion and they all focused on watching.
When the man in a white robe glanced at Liu Ming on the arena again, a strange expression flashed in his eyes, but he immediately recovered his calmness.
He had naturally discovered that Liu Ming's aura was faint, and he couldn't detect his specific cultivation, but he didn't think that Liu Ming was also a cultivator above the Jin Dan Realm. He just thought it was because of some kind of artifact, so he didn't pay too much attention.
"Since I know that Brother Liu has broken through to the Crystallization Period, I have been eager to have a hearty battle with you again. Unfortunately, my family was busy at that time, and Brother Liu quietly left the Sect, so this battle has been delayed until now." On the arena, Sha Tongtian said coldly.
"Oh, could it be that Brother Sha is still holding a grudge against Junior Sister Apprentice Jin?" Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.
"I have long forgotten about Junior Sister Jin's matter. The reason I want to fight with you now is purely to compete with Brother Liu," Sha Tongtian said faintly. As soon as he finished speaking, a shocking sword essence rose into the sky from his body.
Seeing this, the onlookers whispered again.
"Brother Sha is so confident that you can beat me. Is it just because of a true spirit flying sword?" Liu Ming smiled ambiguously.
As he said, his eyes glanced at the white sword bag on Sha Tongtian's waist intentionally or unintentionally.
"Through the sword bag, Brother Liu can also feel my true spirit flying sword. It seems that your sword cultivation has really improved greatly, then it is more worth fighting." Sha Tongtian's face was slightly surprised, and he said indifferently.
Then he slapped the sword bag on his waist, and a pure white sword light soared into the sky. Like a blooming flower, a huge white lotus bloomed out of thin air, exuding waves of chilling air.
"Brother Liu, make your move." Sha Tongtian released his true spirit flying sword, and his confidence was greatly boosted. He sneered.
Under the stage, many disciples who were watching the battle cheered excitedly.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Sha's cultivation seems to have improved again. I think he is almost at the peak of the intermediate stage of the Crystallization Period."
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Sha is a cultivation genius. We are really far behind him!"
"The ice glass flying sword seems to have more spirit patterns than when he fought with Senior Fellow Apprentice Luo of the Emerald Cloud Peak half a year ago. Its power should have increased a lot. I think Senior Fellow Apprentice Sha can definitely get revenge this time!"
Outside the arena, the middle-aged man in a white robe saw the blooming ice lotus around Sha Tongtian, and his eyes also showed some appreciation.
Liu Ming smiled lightly and shook his head. The lotus transformed by this sword qi was the sword qi transformation in the Sword Controlling Technique. Sha Tongtian was able to transform the flying sword into a dragon a long time ago. His talent was indeed good.
However, this kind of sword qi was showing the most subtle part of the Sword Controlling Technique to the opponent without reservation. How could he exert the true spirit flying sword's true spirit?
Liu Ming didn't realize that his current insight and knowledge had already surpassed the level of the Crystallization Period. His understanding of cultivation had gradually changed from pure external to the essence. How could an ordinary Crystallization Period cultivator like Sha Tongtian compare with him?
After sighing slightly in his heart, he immediately made a sword gesture and pointed at his eyebrows. A dazzling golden sword shadow flashed out and hovered in front of him.
The next moment, a "boom" sounded!
Golden light flashed wildly, and the golden sword light shot straight out like lightning. Endless golden Sword Qi swept across the entire arena in an instant.
The simplest Sword Controlling Technique was to stab straight with the sword without any fancy changes. It directly poured a huge amount of spiritual power into the Void Sword Body, breaking all techniques with brute force.
The dazzling sword light was like a fierce beast, rushing directly at Sha Tongtian.
Sha Tongtian was taken aback. He didn't expect Liu Ming to also master the true spirit flying sword, and he could launch such a violent attack.
He couldn't care less about letting Liu Ming make the first move. He roared and made gestures quickly. The white lotus in the air converged, and the sword body darted out like a spirit snake, turning into a white cold light to greet the golden sword light.
There was a loud boom!
The 2 sword lights, one gold and one white, collided with each other.
For a time, the air above the arena exploded repeatedly. The golden and white spiritual lights intertwined and flickered, becoming dazzling!
However, after only a few seconds, the white sword qi suddenly collapsed, and a dazzling golden light suddenly rushed out from the broken white sword qi. After a flash, it appeared in front of Sha Tongtian, and it stopped with a "bang". It turned back into a golden flying sword more than two feet long.
The tip of the Void Sword flashed slightly, but it was less than three inches away from Sha Tongtian's eyebrows.
Sha Tongtian only felt a chill between his eyebrows, and a stream of blood flowed down silently. Although the Void Sword didn't really touch his skin, the invisible sword qi still left an inch deep wound between his eyes.
"You …"
Sha Tongtian's face was instantly pale, and his eyes were full of disbelief. He raised his trembling arm and pointed at Liu Ming not far away. Suddenly, he felt a stuffiness in his chest, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Kuang dang".
A snow-white flying sword also fell from mid-air and stabbed into the ground nearby. After jumping a few times like a fish, it completely calmed down.
Seeing this, Liu Ming smiled faintly. He waved one hand, and the Void Sword flashed and flew back into his sleeve.
Under the arena, it was already silent. The onlookers were all dumbfounded and tongue-tied.
Especially those Tianjian Peak disciples, their mouths were so wide open that a few eggs could almost fit inside.
Just a moment ago, Sha Tongtian still looked confident. How did he lose in the first exchange, and he was defeated so thoroughly.
"Liu Ming wins!"
As the referee, the middle-aged man in white robe also couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. After announcing the result, he launched a white light on the arena, and the surrounding enchantment slowly dissipated.
Two Tianjian Peak disciples immediately flew to the arena and took out elixirs for Sha Tongtian to consume.
Although Sha Tongtian was not directly attacked by Liu Ming's flying sword, the true spirit flying sword that was connected to his mind was forcibly broken by the Void Sword in the previous blow. Not only did he suffer some injuries, but Lian Fei's spirituality was also slightly damaged.
Of course, he didn't know that this was under the circumstance that Liu Ming deliberately held back.
Otherwise, with Liu Ming's current spiritual power, the sharpness of the Void Sword, and the full force of the Sword Controlling Technique, it was not impossible to cut the true spirit flying sword that had just been sacrificially refined in half.
