Ying Cangqiong was defeated by Nie Tian in the first attack and admitted defeat.
Ying Cangqiong intended to suppress Nie Tian with his sword intent so that Nie Tian would have nowhere to run.
He thought that Nie Tian was only at the Third Heavenly Layer of Sword Aura, while he was at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Sword Aura. He thought that he could suppress Nie Tian with his advantage in terms of sword intent.
However, he had underestimated Nie Tian.
His defeat in the first attack made him realize that although Nie Tian's cultivation level was not high, his sword intent was extremely powerful and was not weaker than his.
Moreover, Nie Tian's sword technique was very clever. He used speed to break through the attack. He only used a small amount of sword intent to break through Ying Cangqiong's sword intent.
"Ying Cangqiong, you lost in the first attack because you underestimated your opponent." Nie Tian looked at Ying Cangqiong and said with a smile, "Next, the second attack!"
"Alright!" The corner of Ying Cangqiong's lips twitched and his eyes were filled with passion. He let out a deep roar and stabbed forward with the Qian Wu Sinking Abyss. Under the impact of the sword intent, the space was split into two like a huge wave. Following this, the sword intent changed according to the space-time and turned into two streams of sword intent. The two streams of sword intent flew toward Nie Tian like a seamless net.
"Eh?" Seeing this, Nie Tian's eyes could not help but narrow as he exclaimed in surprise.
One had to admit that Ying Cangqiong was indeed a talented swordsman. He was able to merge his sword intent with the space-time and use the power of the space-time to its fullest.
Boom boom boom! The two nets of sword intent flew toward Nie Tian like two giant beasts that attacked the space, causing Nie Tian's ears to be filled with violent whistling sounds.
"Sword intent, horizontal!" In the next moment, Nie Tian's eyes slightly narrowed, and then he made an astonishing move. He held the Clear Sky Sword horizontally in front of his chest, and then his Sword Intent burst out. A powerful sword wave appeared and rushed out, like a sharp blade, and directly tore apart the net of Sword Intent that was coming at him.
"Bang!" Following this, a dull thud could be heard as Ying Cangqiong's figure took a few steps back once again. There was even a bloody wound on his body.
"How could this be?" Ying Cang Qiong steadied himself and his eyes trembled. He could not believe what he was seeing.
His sword strike, which was infused with the power of time and space, was actually broken so easily by Nie Tian, and he was even injured. This was unacceptable to him.
"Sorry, I won again with the second sword." Nie Tian smiled faintly, his face calm.
Compared to Ying Cangqiong, his Sword Essence was not strong. In fact, it was slightly weaker. However, his usage and control of the Sword Essence was beyond Ying Cangqiong's expectations. He was very flexible, and he could counter changes with changes.
Ying Cangqiong's face was filled with anger. His eyes were slightly red and he felt as if there was a huge rock weighing down on his chest.
It was truly humiliating for him to lose to Nie Tian like this.
If Nie Tian's Sword Essence was truly stronger than his, he would feel better.
However, Nie Tian's Sword Essence was on par with his, yet it was able to suppress him. How could he accept this?
At this moment, the crowd stared at Nie Tian and Ying Cangqiong in astonishment.
Although it was not a battle of life and death, the excitement of the battle between Sword Essences was no less than a battle of life and death.
"Ying Cangqiong, do you want to continue with the third sword?" At that moment, Nie Tian let out a faint smile and asked in a slightly provocative tone.
"Continue!" Ying Cangqiong's eyes flickered and he let out a roar like a wild beast.
They were going to decide the winner with three sword strikes. Nie Tian had already won two sword strikes. Therefore, the result of the third sword strike would not affect the final result.
However, Ying Cangqiong was unwilling to give up. Of course he wanted to compete with the third sword strike.
"Come on!" Nie Tian let out a faint smile and said, "The third sword strike, it's my turn to attack first."
Boom! As soon as he finished speaking, his body moved. The sword in the sky suddenly pierced out and the Sword Essence whistled out. It was extremely sharp and it headed straight for Ying Cangqiong.
"Hmm?" Ying Cangqiong felt the coldness in his face. He could not help but be surprised.
He hadn't expected Nie Tian's attack to be so straightforward. He didn't use any fancy moves, but rather thrust his sword out directly.
However, such a direct method and the Sword Essence contained an extremely sharp aura. He could not help but feel a tinge of fear.
"Break!" Ying Cangqiong reacted in an instant. The Qianwu Sinking Abyss pierced out. Sword Essence gushed out and a violent force was released.
Kaboom! In the next moment, the two Sword Wills clashed together. The void rumbled and a terrifying power was released in a frenzy, rampaging violently.
"Ah!" Ying Cangqiong's eyes froze. He suddenly felt a terrifying Sword Essence attacking him. His expression changed and he let out a scream. Then, he was forced to take a few steps back.
After he steadied himself, his eyes dimmed and he was shocked.
In the previous attack, he and Nie Tian were evenly matched. Why did Nie Tian's Sword Essence have the upper hand?
"I won the third attack." At that moment, Nie Tian looked at Ying Cangqiong and said with a faint smile.
Ying Cangqiong was confused. He was stunned for a few seconds and asked, "Why?"
He could not understand how Nie Tian's attack without any tricks could explode with such a powerful force.
"The Great Dao is the simplest!" Nie Tian smiled faintly and said, "Usually, the simplest and most direct way is the most lethal way."
Ying Cangqiong frowned and was stunned for a few seconds. After a while, he nodded and seemed to have understood something.
"Nie Tian, we will have a real battle soon." After a while, Ying Cangqiong nodded and walked down the ring.
He had indeed lost the battle of Sword Essence, but this did not mean that he would lose to Nie Tian in a real battle.
"I look forward to fighting you." Nie Tian looked at Ying Cangqiong's figure and smiled.
Next, Ying Cangqiong challenged another ringmaster and defeated him, successfully stepping onto the ring.
Half a day later, the battle of the Blue Wolves ended and the 18 ringmasters appeared.
Apart from the one defeated by Ying Cangqiong, the remaining 17 ringmasters were the first batch of ringmasters.
The Evil Moon Heavenly Wolf's people announced the birth of the eighteen Azure Wolf cultivators. Then, based on the performance of these eighteen people and the accumulated points from the Azure Wolf Battles, they temporarily ranked these eighteen people.
Among them, the top nine were: Bodhi Zi, Lan Zhuying, Seven Kills, Yin Liujie, Su Kuangge, Ming Feng, Nie Tian, Liang Gui, and Ying Cangqiong.
Nie Tian was temporarily ranked seventh. It was not good, but it was not bad either.
Although his performance in the Sky Wolf Challenge shocked the entire Sacred World of Seven Cultivators, he did not have much of a performance in the Battle of the Night of the Wolf. Being ranked seventh was already very good.
Moreover, this was only a preliminary ranking. Who would be able to reach the end would depend on the following battles.
