After the eighth round of the competition, half of the thirty participating disciples were eliminated, leaving only fifteen.
First place was still Nan Wu, second place was still Chi Xiao, third place was still Ben Hu, fourth place was Ma Yun Fei, fifth place was Duan Yulong, sixth place was Zhuang Libie, seventh place was still Ye Xiaoxiao, eighth place was Luo Qiushui, ninth place was Tu Jinghong, and tenth place was Chu Mu.
Gao Wang was ranked fifteenth, last place. Nie Yunjie was defeated by Tu Jinghong and was ranked thirteenth. Tang Zhen was ranked fourteenth.
The eleventh and twelfth places had not changed.
According to the previous competition format, one of the fifteen participating disciples would have a bye. Therefore, there was a slight change in the ninth round of the competition.
The top ten disciples did not move, but the disciples ranked from the eleventh to the fifteenth would draw lots. They would draw one of the top ten disciples as their opponent. If they defeated their opponent, they would replace their opponent and enter the top ten, entering the tenth round. If they lost, they would be directly eliminated.
In this round of the competition, luck and strength accounted for half of the competition.
If they were lucky, they would draw a weaker opponent. They would need to have a certain level of strength to win.
If they were unlucky, they would draw a strong opponent like Nan Wu. If they were not strong enough, they would be easily defeated.
There were a total of ten lots from number one to number ten. They were controlled by the Inner Palace Elder and flew in the air at high speed. Even with Chu Mu's eyesight, he could not see the numbers on the lots, let alone the five people who were going to draw lots. They could only rely on luck.
The five of them kept staring at the ten lots flying in the air. Their eyes were as sharp as swords.
Suddenly, the five of them attacked in different styles. Some were direct, some were gentle, some were violent, and some were fleeting.
Although the lots were flying very fast, it was not faster than the five people's reactions. The main reason was that there was a layer of power covering the lots, making it impossible to see the numbers on them.
As soon as they attacked, the five of them immediately grabbed a lot each. As for the other five lots, they automatically flew to the Inner Palace Elder and were put away by him.
The five of them opened their palms and the power on the lots dissipated, revealing the numbers on them.
Suddenly, some people's faces changed and became a little gloomy. Obviously, they were very unlucky to draw lots and had drawn a strong opponent.
The inner palace elder took a look and announced the results of the drawing of lots.
The number 11 disciple drew was number 3, which was Ben Tiger. Ben Tiger was very strong, and the number 11 disciple did not have any confidence in winning, so he was very depressed.
Number 12 was even more miserable. He had drawn number 1, Namo.
The Southern Incomparable Tiger was scarier. This was what everyone knew. Therefore, not only was No.12 depressed, he was also gloomy. He even had the thought of dying.
Number thirteen was Nie Yunjie. The number he drew was number ten, Chu Mu.
Nie Yunjie looked at Chu Mu with provocation in his eyes. Chu Mu smiled and glanced at Nie Yunjie.
Number 14, Tang Zhen, drew number 7, and Ye Xiaoxiao. Among the many participating disciples, the two most powerful and beautiful girls each had their own merits.
Number 15 was Gao Wang. His number was Number 6, Zhuang Libie.
There were only five matches in the ninth round. The first match was between the number 11 disciple and the number 3 disciple.
Ben Tiger stood up with a powerful aura. Coupled with his tall and strong body, he was like the king of tigers that had just woken up from a deep slumber, revealing his unique majesty.
Taking a step forward, he was like the king of tigers descending from the mountains. His aura was even more powerful. His opponent, the number 11 disciple, trembled. Under the impact of his aura, his hands and feet were numb and his blood was blocked. His fighting strength instantly dropped by 30%.
Ben Tiger's fighting style was similar to Gao Wang's, but there was a clear difference between them.
Ben Tiger's sword speed was not as fast as Gao Wang's, but each of his sword was more ferocious and violent than Gao Wang's. It was at least three times faster. He was like a tiger out of its cage, trying to tear his opponent apart with each sword.
Once Ben Tiger attacked, the number 11 disciple could not fight back. He could only dodge and block again and again before he was defeated.
"Too weak." Ben Tiger shook his head in disappointment after defeating his opponent. He had just finished warming up and his opponent was already defeated. It was not fun at all.
The number 12 disciple went up. Nan Wu used his sword and defeated his opponent easily while in the state of mind.
The number 11 and 12 disciples were too weak for Ben Tiger and Nan Wu. Even if their opponent's sword intent and profound had reached the peak of the sixth revolution, they were still far from being a match for them.
In the third round, number 13 Nie Yunjie went up. His opponent was number 10 Chu Mu.
"The current you is qualified for me to use my full strength." Nie Yunjie said to Chu Mu.
Even though his ranking had fallen to thirteenth, Nie Yunjie's innate strength was still undeniably powerful. Moreover, he had once defeated Chu Mu, although Chu Mu back then was far from being as powerful as he was now.
"Times have changed." Chu Mu said lightly.
"That's not necessarily true. If I can defeat you once, I can defeat you again." Nie Yunjie said proudly.
As soon as his words left his mouth, it immediately caused a wave of discussion.
"So Chu Mu was defeated by Nie Yunjie before. Then he is definitely not a match for Nie Yunjie now."
"Bullsh * t. Who knows when Nie Yunjie defeated Chu Mu. Moreover, Chu Mu did not have sword intent before. Now, Chu Mu has sword intent."
"Who knows? Maybe the rumors from before were all fake. Chu Mu has sword intent, but he just didn't use it. Only now did he have no choice but to use it. When he fought against Nie Yunjie, he may have used sword intent."
The people who were debating had their own opinions, but they were either supporting Nie Yunjie or Chu Mu.
Chu Mu did not refute Nie Yunjie's words. At that time, his sword intent had not broken through the seal and he was not as strong as he was now. It was not strange that he was not a match for Nie Yunjie. It was not surprising that he was defeated by Nie Yunjie.
Nie Yunjie took the lead and attacked with his sword. It was like a stream of light piercing through the air.
Last time, Nie Yunjie defeated Chu Mu with this move. The power of this sword was more than two times stronger than last time. Its speed was also more than 50% faster.
His sword intent had broken through the seal, and his senses had all improved, allowing Chu Mu to clearly distinguish the trajectory of the sword. His body's reaction speed had greatly increased, and he faced Nie Yunjie's meteor-like sword light. His sword slashed out soundlessly, and not even a sword light appeared.
Nie Yunjie's eyebrows trembled. He felt a sense of danger. The meteor-like Sword Light instantly trembled and exploded, turning into a sky full of cold stars. It was as if the surroundings had turned into a night sky. Countless cold stars whistled as they circled and turned into a meteor shower, densely attacking Chu Mu.
It was so inferior, so dense, so gorgeous. It was as if Chu Mu was in the middle of a sky full of stars.
Chu Mu was not lost, but he found that Nie Yunjie's aura had disappeared. He could not see his figure at all.
It was not a good thing to lose the target. He could not form an effective attack. Every meteor that attacked from all directions was an astonishingly sharp sword. This was Nie Yunjie's true strength.
His spiritual consciousness spread out, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. It was difficult to find Nie Yunjie's location. It had to be said that Nie Yunjie's strength was not weak.
With a shake of the sword, the meteors in front of Chu Mu were instantly dispersed.
His sword was faster than the meteors. One meteor after another collapsed under Chu Mu's sword and turned into nothingness.
In such a way, Chu Mu's counterattack was so fierce.
All the meteor Sword Light were shattered and disappeared. Chu Mu's sword slashed out. The Sword Light condensed into a beam and flew out like an aurora, piercing towards Nie Yunjie.
It was so fast that Nie Yunjie could only block.
Suddenly, with a shake of the sword, a terrifying force penetrated the sword and shattered the protective sword aura. It bombarded Nie Yunjie's inner armor and went straight for his chest. Nie Yunjie took two steps back and his chest felt a little stuffy.
Chu Mu's Sword Light descended once again.
It was endless, like a long river. Every sword was extremely violent, like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain.
Gao Wang's body trembled, while Ben Hu's eyes shone brightly.
Chu Mu's attack had the shadow of their respective fighting styles. In other words, it was a simple combination of the two of them.
His body did not look strong, but the power that burst out was not below Ben Hu's. Ben Hu's body unconsciously released an astonishing battle intent. If this was not a competition, he would have rushed forward and attacked Chu Mu.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse in his heart. However, the battle intent in his eyes was even more intense.
Under the continuous attack, Nie Yunjie realized that he could not break through it. He could only block and retreat again and again.
Chu Mu's control of the battle was more accurate than Gao Wang's. The connection between each sword was flawless, without any flaws.
After a round of storm-like attacks, Chu Mu suddenly kept his sword by his side. All the Sword Light gathered in an instant. The sword pierced out with a hint of autumn water, startling Luo Qiushui.
Nie Yunjie struggled to block Chu Mu's attack and finally stopped. However, before he could take a breath, a terrifying killing Sword Light flew through the air.
It was a sword that combined the first thirty-three moves of the Sky Desolation Sword Art.
Nie Yunjie could not block it at all. His whole body flew out. The tyrannical impact contained the Mountain Piercing Energy, causing Nie Yunjie to suffer internal injuries. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Getting up, Nie Yunjie stared at Chu Mu and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
There was no doubt that he had lost. He was defeated by Chu Mu's sword. The process was not that difficult.
They both had the Peak Sixth Revolution Sword Intent, but Chu Mu's strength was much stronger than his. The reason why he was able to defeat Chu Mu was because Chu Mu could not use Sword Intent. No matter how proud Nie Yunjie was, he had to admit this point.
Nie Yunjie's defeat also meant that he was eliminated. The Outer Palace Tournament of the Century had come to an end. Next, he would be reduced to a spectator.
The fourth battle had also begun. Tang Zhen versus Ye Xiaoxiao. Both of them were beauties with different temperaments. Each had their own merits and were very attractive.
