Yinfeng Wuwo did not explain too much, and Nie Tian did not ask too much either. It seemed like he could only search for answers after leaving the Acheron sacred grounds.
Tang Shisan's current situation was unknown, so he could not search for his soul. He could only remain in his original state for now.
Nie Tian placed Tang Shisan in the Nine Extremities and got Xiao Fei to take care of him.
Although Nie Tian had emerged victorious in the battle against the Demon-Faced Swordsman, he had exhausted too much of his power and was heavily injured.
Regardless, he had still advanced in the end, successfully making it into the top four.
The other two battles began one after another. As expected, the Human Emperor and Lin Fan emerged victorious easily.
Just like that, the top four of the Acheron Competition had been decided. They were the Human Emperor, Lin Fan, Lenghuang Jixue, and Nie Tian.
Everyone looked at Nie Tian's group of four. They were rather excited.
The most talented and powerful swordsmen in the entire All-Heaven Saints' World had basically gathered the Acheron Competition. Being able to make it into the top four of the Acheron Competition undoubtedly proved that Nie Tian's group of four had reached the peak of talent.
However, there were differences between the peak of talent.
Ignoring the fact that Nie Tian's performance was weaker than Lenghuang Jixue and Lin Fan during the Acheron Competition, his current condition was definitely the worst out of the four.
"This kid named Nie Tian is only at the fourth level of Sword Heavenly Tribulation. I can't believe he actually made it this far. This is really unexpected."
"He's definitely the biggest dark horse in this competition. However, his road to the top four will basically stop at his current level."
"Yeah, he's so heavily injured now. He can't fight at all. If I were him, I'd just admit defeat. After all, we're only fighting for the right to choose the Flower of Acheron. It doesn't really matter. "
The crowd discussed among themselves, and when they looked at Nie Tian, there was a hint of pity in their eyes. If Nie Tian was in a good condition, he might really be able to fight against the Human Emperor or the young Human Emperor, but right now, it was better for him to admit defeat as soon as possible.
When Nie Tian heard what the crowd said, he didn't mind at all.
Just now, while the Human Emperor and Lin Fan were fighting, he took the opportunity to recover a little. However, he had only recovered 30% to 40% of his strength.
It was indeed very dangerous to fight against the Human Emperor or Lin Fan in this state.
"Nie Tian, are you confident?" Yinfeng Wuwo's face was a little ugly as he asked in a deep voice.
"So what if I'm confident or not? Aren't we going to fight anyway?" Nie Tian smiled bitterly, but the sharpness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Yinfeng Wuwo sighed helplessly.
Next, the four of them didn't draw lots. Instead, the Human Emperor directly chose Nie Tian as his opponent.
Naturally, Lin Fan and Lenghuang Jixue became opponents.
Nie Tian naturally understood the Human Emperor's intention. He wanted to exhaust his strength to the maximum so that Lin Fan would have a higher chance of winning.
On the sword pillar, the battle between Nie Tian and the Human Emperor began first.
"Nie Tian, I didn't expect that you would actually make it this far." The Human Emperor stood with his hands behind his back. Sword energy surged around him, and he had the demeanor of a master. However, there was an undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.
Previously, he didn't care about Nie Tian. However, after a few battles, especially after Nie Tian defeated Ghastly, he had made up his mind to kill Nie Tian.
"I also didn't expect the first person to fight against me would be you." Nie Tian smiled faintly. He wasn't afraid at all.
"Very good. Even at this moment, I still don't see any fear in your eyes." The Human Emperor's eyes flickered with some praise. He said, "You are a pure warrior. You are fearless and you know how to use your strength to unleash the strongest power. If you weren't against me, I would have accepted you into the Human Emperor Palace. "
"Is that so?" Nie Tian laughed coldly and didn't care.
Even if the Human Emperor really wanted him to enter the Human Emperor Palace, he didn't care.
"Come on. Let me see how much strength you have now." The Human Emperor didn't waste any more time. Sword energy surged around his body like a huge sword formation that spread in all directions.
Nie Tian sensed an oppressive force approaching him, and his expression changed.
However, the next moment, he made up his mind. He unsheathed the Sword in the Sky and activated the Celestial and Demon Inverse Mark. He slashed the sword down and a raging dragon slashed at the Human Emperor.
He knew how terrifying the Human Emperor was. Therefore, he gave it his all and didn't hold anything back. He hoped to gain the upper hand.
"Bang!" In the void, a huge sword shadow fell. However, it was blocked by the sword energy shield around the Human Emperor and shattered.
Nie Tian's body trembled and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. He suddenly felt his blood rushing to his head and he almost vomited blood.
"How could this be?" He steadied himself and was quite shocked.
The Human Emperor's talent was at most similar to that of the Yang God Sword Emperor. He wasn't much stronger than Grimace. However, how could he have such strength when he was in the Nine Heavenly Calamity Realm?
When Nie Tian activated the Celestial and Demon Body, even Grimace wouldn't dare to take it head-on.
However, the Human Emperor didn't even use his sword. He had pushed Nie Tian back. It was too terrifying.
"Kid, is this your strength?" The Human Emperor laughed coldly and looked disdainful. "Too weak!"
Nie Tian took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He told himself that his sword essence wasn't weaker than the Human Emperor's. Therefore, he didn't have to be afraid.
Then, he used his sword several times. However, they were all blocked by the Human Emperor's sword energy shield.
Bang! Another sword fell. Nie Tian's body was sent flying. After retreating for hundreds of meters, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"How is this possible?" He couldn't believe what he was seeing. There was no reason for the Human Emperor to be so strong.
When the surrounding people saw this, they were all shocked and confused.
"Nie Tian defeated Grimace. Even if he can't defeat the Human Emperor, he shouldn't be suppressed like this."
"What is the sword energy shield around the Human Emperor? Why is it so strong?"
"It seems to be a sword formation. If Nie Tian can't even break this sword formation, the Human Emperor doesn't have to do anything. He will be defeated."
As the crowd spoke, they looked at Nie Tian with sympathy.
No matter who it was, they would probably feel hopeless if they met a strong cultivator like the Human Emperor.
"Senior, what's going on? What kind of power is the Human Emperor using? Why can't Nie Tian break his sword energy shield? "The Red Life Loyal Heart was also a little anxious. He couldn't help but look at Yinfeng Wuwo.
"This should be some kind of sword formation. The Human Emperor's control of sword energy has reached the acme of perfection. He can control every sword energy perfectly. I'm afraid that Nie Tian is going to be defeated." Yinfeng Wuwo's face was pale and he said in a deep voice.
"This …" The Red Life Loyal Heart's face suddenly froze. If even Yinfeng Wuwo said so, then Nie Tian would definitely be defeated.
"It's over." At this time, the Human Emperor spoke. Then, a sword essence gushed out from his palm. It instantly condensed into a sword of light and shadow. Then, it moved at an extremely fast speed and attacked Nie Tian.
