As the days passed, the eighteenth of September got closer and closer. As time went on, a large number of Sea of Soul realm experts arrived from the nearby towns. Even Sea of Soul realm masters could be seen frequently, which was something unimaginable in the past.
Inside the restaurants and teahouses, all sorts of discussions could be heard.
"West Ocean Sword Master Liu Wujian has come with great momentum. Even Master Sky Sword lost to him. Right now, I'm a bit worried that he might really sweep through all the geniuses in the Sky Martial Region."
"That shouldn't be possible, right? Regardless, our True Spirit Continent is the place with the most geniuses. It's not something the four oceans can compare to. "
"You can't say that. Who says a remote place can't give birth to an invincible genius? Moreover, West Ocean has always been the most powerful among the four oceans. Only North Ocean can compete with him."
"Sigh … It seems like this era is even more frightening than we imagined. Although West Ocean and North Ocean had many geniuses in the past, it was impossible for a super genius like Liu Wujian to appear. Do you think the number of Life and Death Kings in the next hundred years will be much higher than before?"
"It's quite possible. In the past hundred years, there would be around ten Life and Death Kings, and not more than twenty. This time, I'm afraid it will be no less than thirty, perhaps even more."
In the ancient era, the number of Life and Death Kings was the highest. Although they were not everywhere, it was still a spectacular sight. In the medieval era, the number of Life and Death Kings suddenly decreased by one fold. In the recent ancient era, it had decreased by two folds. In the modern era, it had decreased by several folds. If more than thirty Life and Death Kings could be born in a hundred years, it would be the level of the late ancient era.
…
Dugu Family …
Dugu Jue walked out of the Evil Demon Cave with a calm expression. He did not look as miserable and frightening as before, as if the Evil Demon Cave no longer had any effect on him.
Walking to a huge wooden board not far away, Dugu Jue stretched out his hand and took down the white paper nailed to it.
It turned out that Dugu Jue often went into seclusion. Fearing that he didn't know much about the outside world, he had ordered people to write down some of the important matters of the Sky Martial Region and even the whole continent on the paper. This way, even if he didn't leave Dugu Jue, he would still know everything about the world.
"West Ocean Sword Master — Liu Wujian."
When Dugu Jue read about Liu Wujian, his eyes gradually narrowed.
"Interesting. You actually defeated Master Sky Sword and even met with Ye Chen. Since you're able to stand on equal footing with Ye Chen, you're definitely not weak. Fine, let me see how many tricks you have up your sleeves and whether you're qualified to be a formidable opponent of my Dugu Jue."
The paper was crumpled into a ball and turned into ashes.
"The Evil Demon Cave does not have any effect on me anymore, unless I can open the seal and enter the next level. But, with the weakening of the seal, that evil demon would definitely take the chance to attack the seal and escape. So, it would not be a good idea. No rush, I will think about it after I reach Late Sea of Souls Realm."
Just like Ye Chen, Dugu Jue was also stuck at the peak of mid Sea of Soul realm. Entering late Sea of Soul realm was inevitable, but it would take some time.
Taking a step forward, Dugu Jue walked out of the Demonic Cave.
…
Unknowingly, it was already September, and the date was fixed on September 16th.
Near the Nine Dragon Mountain, a large number of Sea of Souls Realm warriors were rushing toward the Nine Dragon Mountain in an endless stream.
September 17th, those who should come had all come. In the center of the Nine Dragon Mountain, around the Nine Dragon Lake, there was an ocean of people, their voices reaching the sky.
Shoo Shoo Shoo Shoo …
On this day, the number of geniuses who had come was also the highest. Bai Wuxue, Yan Fengfeng, Lu Shaoyou, Situ Hao, Beiming Hui, Chu Zhongtian … Besides a few, all the other top geniuses whose names shook the world had arrived, wanting to see what kind of level the so-called West Ocean Sword Master had reached.
Beside Lu Shaoyou, a lot of people had gathered, including Bai Wuxue.
"Brother Lu, you fought with the West Ocean Sword Master half a year ago. How is his strength?" Bai Wuxue asked.
Lu Shaoyou was silent for a while, then said slowly, "Very powerful!"
Hearing him, Bai Wuxue's expression froze. Lu Shaoyou's words were very vague for others. Very powerful, everyone knew, but they did not know exactly how powerful, which was tantamount to not answering. However, Bai Wuxue was very clear about Lu Shaoyou's character. If the West Ocean Sword Master was only a bit more powerful than him, he would not say the word very powerful. But, to make him say very powerful, this West Ocean Sword Master was definitely an extremely dangerous person.
"But, it's not like I did not make any progress in this half a year!"
A cold light flashed through Lu Shaoyou's eyes.
Bai Wuxue nodded, not saying anything.
"Hehe, my Imperial Sword Technique has been cultivated to the third level. Although I can only launch three swords at the same time, it is still twice as powerful as the second level of the Imperial Sword Technique. The Telepathic Sword that I got from Ye Chen helped me comprehend the profound meaning of speed, and the speed of my sword has been greatly improved. Liu Wujian, the West Ocean Sword Master, let me see how powerful you are!"
Situ Hao stood alone on the peak with a smile on his face. He knew he was not a match for Liu Wujian, but for him, as long as he could fight with people at this level for a while, it would be something to be proud of, which meant he had the potential to catch up.
Thinking for a while, Situ Hao thought to himself, "Ye Chen got my Imperial Sword Technique, but I don't know which level he has cultivated it to. I guess he is at the second level, but not beyond the peak of the second level. At that time, I might have to compete with him in the Imperial Sword Technique to see who is better."
The night passed.
The 18th of September arrived.
"Haha!"
The sky had just brightened when three figures came through the air, and the one in the lead was none other than Liu Wujian, the West Ocean Sword Master.
"Liu Wujian, the West Ocean Sword Master."
"Liu Wujian is here!"
The people near the Nine Dragon Lake were all startled. They looked at the three figures, and then focused on the one in the lead.
Liu Wujian's body was not strong, and he was a little thin. His palms were slender like bamboo, and they seemed to have some kind of magic power. On his face, which was not very handsome, he had a pair of narrow and sharp eyes, and a tall nose. At first glance, one would be attracted to him.
Looking around, Liu Wujian did not find Ye Chen's figure, and the corner of his mouth rose.
"Humph, the continent's Sword Master? I'm afraid he is too scared to come. "
The woman in colorful clothes sneered.
"No hurry, there are a lot of people who interest me here. I can play for a long time." Liu Wujian said lightly.
"Indeed, there are a lot of powerful warriors."
The young man's expressionless eyes gradually turned sharp. If he was a rock before, then he was a piece of steel now. The aura he was giving off was not any weaker than Liu Wujian's. Liu Wujian was the red flower, and he was the most obvious green leaf.
"You are Liu Wujian."
The first one to stand out was Beiming Hui. All martial geniuses did not want to lose. Even though he knew that he was no match for Ye Chen, he still wanted to challenge him.
"You do not interest me at all."
Liu Wujian glanced at Beiming Hui and then shook his head.
"You will know soon whether I am interested or not. Take this spear attack of mine first!"
Beiming Hui took out the long spear on his back and waved it out. The invisible spear light ignored most of the distance, and it was indeed Sky Bank.
"Nalan, you go meet him."
Liu Wujian said to the woman in colorful clothes.
"Alright!"
The woman in colorful clothes jumped up as a long red whip appeared in her hand. She lashed out at the invisible spear light. That unbelievably fast spear light seemed to have sunk into a swamp all of a sudden. Its speed was drastically reduced before it was shattered into pieces by the long whip.
"So powerful! This Beiming Hui is ranked in the top twenty in the master level warrior ranking, but his killing attack was blocked by a girl right next to Liu Wujian."
"Don't worry, Beiming Hui still has a second movement."
Everyone knew quite a bit about Beiming Hui's killing attack. Plus, it had been more than a year, and it would be impossible for him to not improve at all. Perhaps he had already figured out the third movement.
"Second movement!"
Indeed, Beiming Hui's expression darkened slightly when he saw that his first attack had been broken. He immediately performed his second attack. In the next second, five beams of silver light attacked toward the woman from different angles. Their speed was even faster than the first attack, and they were even stealthier.
"Blood Thirst Kill!"
The woman in colorful clothes attacked almost at the same time as Beiming Hui, performing the same attack that she had used on Murong Qingcheng that day. It was performed with a long whip weapon, so its power was even more powerful. The woman in colorful clothes shook her long whip, and a three-headed red snake was formed immediately. Its three heads clashed onto the five silver light beams. Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! The snake heads were punctured, but the silver light disappeared as well.
"If this is all you have, then you will lose for sure."
The woman in colorful clothes had suffered a loss at the hands of Murong Qingcheng, but it did not mean that she was not as powerful as Murong Qingcheng. After all, that day at the restaurant, she had been a bit careless and did not use her full power.
Plus, Murong Qingcheng was already very powerful, and she was at least ranked in the top ten of the master level warrior ranking.
"What a joke! I have not even used my true power yet."
Beiming Hui's expression was serious. At first, he had looked down on the woman in colorful clothes, thinking that Liu Wujian was just brushing him off. But now, he did not think so anymore. The woman in colorful clothes was much more powerful than he had imagined. If he did not use his full power, then he might really lose.
"Third movement, Sky Bank Separation!"
His body split into two as the two Beiming Hui performed the Sky Bank movement at the same time. Although it was only one movement, the aura was completely opposite. It was as if one was in the light while the other was in the dark. The two auras merged together, and the Sky Bank movement immediately changed. The sharp spear light expanded infinitely, expanding by hundreds or even thousands of times in an instant. It shot out, and the clouds in the sky were instantly separated.
"This Beiming Hui has actually managed to learn the three movements of the Sky Bank. Once this movement is completed, his ranking will probably go up a couple of places. Maybe he can even get into the top ten."
Everyone was secretly shocked.
"Hm?"
The woman in colorful clothes's pupils shrank. This spear attack was really out of her expectation. It actually gave her the illusion that she could not block it.
"Dragon Slash!"
Under the huge pressure, the woman in colorful clothes finally used her strongest trump card. Red Zhen Yuan poured into the long whip, which was like a huge chain. It coiled out and wrapped around the fierce spear light. Creak! Creak! Sparks flew everywhere. The long whip and the spear light wrestled with each other, neither giving in. But in the end, the spear light was like a trapped flood dragon, and it was instantly torn apart.
"Lose!"
With no time to lose, the woman in colorful clothes swung her long whip, and the whip light turned into a scarlet python that struck Beiming Hui's Protective Zhen Yuan.
Puff!
Beiming Hui puked out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
"Beiming Hui lost!"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. If it was Liu Wujian who had defeated Beiming Hui, it would not be a big deal. After all, Liu Wujian's strength was undeniable. However, this woman in colorful clothes was only a follower of Liu Wujian, and yet she also had such a frightening strength that even Beiming Hui could not block it. How could they not be shocked?
