"I'll be the first to fight!" Nie Tian's eyes glittered when he heard the judge's voice, and his heart leaped with joy.
His first opponent in the top sixteen was Zhuo Bufan, which made Nie Tian think a lot more at ease.
Every single one of the top sixteen was a freakishly talented swordsman, but the difference in strength between the top sixteen was obvious.
Nie Tian was confident that he could fight anyone head-on, but he didn't want to face an expert right off the bat.
Among the top 16, the opponent he was most unwilling to meet was Sacred Sword Canglan, followed by Xue 'er, Windfire, Ice, and that mysterious ghost-masked cultivator.
Nie Tian had a rough estimate of the fighting prowess of the top sixteen, and the strongest of them all was Sage Sword Cangbillow. He was a late Paramount God, and his cultivation in the dao of the sword had reached the Advanced Level of Sword-Martial Unity. Considering that, he wasn't much weaker than Ghostmartial Wild Sand or any of the other experts in the dao of the sword.
Therefore, the opponent Nie Tian didn't want to face was Saintsword Canglan.
Without hesitation, Nie Tian leaped up and landed directly on a stone pillar in the sword field. At the same time, Zhuo Bufan's figure also appeared. He stared at Nie Tian with a pair of deep eyes.
"We finally meet, Nie Tian," Zhuo Bufan said, his eyes sharp and Cold.
Before the Evil Edge Sword Discourse, Zhuo Bufan had provoked Nie Tian and considered Nie Tian to be his biggest competitor.
Unfortunately, there were too many experts in the Evil Edge Sword Discourse, and Nie Tian wasn't the most eye-catching among the top sixteen.
"Zhuo Bufan, this is the battle you've been waiting for. Unfortunately, your path in the Evil Edge Sword Discourse will end here." Nie Tian smiled faintly, his expression extremely calm. With his current strength, there was really no need for him to take Zhuo Bufan seriously.
"Is that so?" Zhuo Bufan smiled coldly, but his lips curled into a strange smile. A terrifying sword aura rose from him, and his sword will spread out for thousands of meters, filling the void.
"Hmm?" Nie Tian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and he said in astonishment, "Your Sword Dao has broken through to the advanced stage?"
Nie Tian clearly remembered that a few days ago, Zhuo Bufan was still at the primary realm of Unity of Sword and Martial Arts, and he had just advanced. In just a few days, he was able to make successive breakthroughs in the realm of Sword Tao. This was simply impossible.
Zhuo Bufan was not an extremely monstrous swordsman. His breakthrough was very strange.
"Nie Tian, are you scared?" When Zhuo Bufan saw Nie Tian's surprised reaction, he could not help but sneer and said loudly, "No one can stop me on the path of the Evil Edge Sword Duel. If anyone dares to stop me, there is only one outcome — death!"
As soon as the word "die" fell, Zhuo Bufan's eyes surged with extremely strong killing intent.
At this moment, Fat Cat's voice suddenly sounded and reminded Nie Tian, "Nie Tian, pay attention to his aura."
Nie Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he activated the holographic divine pattern. He immediately sensed a very familiar aura in Zhuo Bufan's sword intent: the Blood Weeping Sword Infant!
The Blood Weeping Sword Infant. Nie Tian felt the aura of the Blood Weeping Sword Infant in Zhuo Bufan's body, which made his expression change instantly.
There was no doubt that Zhuo Bufan's successive breakthroughs in Sword Tao were all thanks to the Blood Weeping Sword Infant.
"Zhuo Bufan, what did you do?" Nie Tian instantly calmed down and roared in a deep voice.
He really didn't expect that Zhuo Bufan would use the Blood Weeping Sword Infant in order to go further on the Evil Edge Sword Duel.
Nie Tian didn't need to think to know the origin of the Blood Weeping Sword Infant. It must have been obtained from Xuan Zangfeng.
Zhuo Bufan didn't know what the Blood Weeping Sword Infant was at all. He only knew that the Blood Weeping Sword Infant could instantly improve his Sword Tao strength. This was too tempting for him, so he didn't hesitate to use the Blood Weeping Sword Infant.
"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you!" Zhuo Bufan said Nie Tian coldly with a murderous look in his eyes, "Nie Tian, you'd better worry about yourself. Let's see if you can walk out of the sword field alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura around Zhuo Bufan's body rose again. His whole body was like a giant sword standing in the void, extremely terrifying.
Zhuo Bufan's aura attracted everyone's attention, and many people couldn't help but tremble.
"This guy called Zhuo Bufan is really powerful. No wonder he's the genius swordsman of the Divine Martial Sword Pagoda. He hid his strength so deeply and only revealed it now."
"His Sword Tao has actually reached the advanced realm of Sword and Martial Arts as One. With such strength, he's definitely a strong opponent for Nie Tian."
"That's great. I thought that this battle would definitely be finished with one strike. I didn't expect Zhuo Bufan to hide his strength. This battle is going to be interesting."
Everyone thought that Zhuo Bufan had used some method to hide his strength before, and at this time, he was just revealing his hidden strength.
In fact, this idea was very reasonable. After all, it was too strange and impossible for a swordsman to improve his Sword Tao strength by two realms in a few days.
Even experts like Gongsun Sheng were inclined to think that Zhuo Bufan had hidden his Sword Tao cultivation.
Only one person knew the truth, and that was Xuan Zangfeng.
At this time, Xuan Zangfeng was staring at Zhuo Bufan with extremely gloomy eyes. He said coldly in his heart, "Zhuo Bufan, Zhuo Bufan, don't let me down. I used a stronger Blood Weeping Sword Infant seed on you. That seed was originally reserved for Di Shitian. "
Xuan Zangfeng had specially found a stronger Blood Weeping Sword Infant seed for Di Shitian, but later, in order to save Lian Wuyi, Di Shitian already had a Blood Weeping Sword Infant seed in his body.
He didn't want to waste the Blood Weeping Sword Infant, so he found Zhuo Bufan and used a stronger Blood Weeping Sword Infant seed on the latter.
Xuan Zangfeng knew that because Nie Tian had forced the Evil Edge Sword Competition to be brought forward, Zhuo Bufan hated Nie Tian very much. He wanted to use Zhuo Bufan to kill Nie Tian.
Xuan Zangfeng felt that with Zhuo Bufan's current strength, even if he couldn't kill Nie Tian, he could still cause some damage to the latter. Then, Nie Tian was more likely to die in the hands of others.
He had long seen that Canglan Sacred Sword and the ghost-faced warrior did not have any good intentions towards Nie Tian.
Beside Xuan Zangfeng, Gongsun Shengji looked very embarrassed. He was not worried that Nie Tian would lose to Zhuo Bufan, but that Zhuo Bufan would be too anxious and be killed by Nie Tian.
No matter what, Zhuo Bufan was a genius of the Divine Martial Sword Pagoda. Of course, Gongsun Shengji did not want him to die.
On the sword field, Nie Tian looked at Zhuo Bufan indifferently. He did not want to kill the latter, but he felt that it was a pity.
Zhuo Bufan was also a genius in Sword Dao. If he was destroyed by Xuan Zangfeng, it would be really unbearable.
"Nie Tian, make your move!" Zhuo Bufan's aura was like a rainbow, and the sword intent around him was like a stormy sea, surging around his body, and even the space around him became violent.
"Zhuo Bufan, it seems that I have to take this battle seriously." Nie Tian smiled faintly, and then his body shook, and terrible black runes surged out of his body.
