They were all top-notch geniuses in their respective sects. They did not lack high-ranked Cultivation Techniques or Martial Techniques. As for the so-called combat techniques, they did not think that they were inferior to Xiao Chen.
Jin Wuji laughed in a carefree manner, "To think that this brat would have such a day. After being humiliated by the Heavenly Extermination Union's Elders, the anger in his heart has lessened somewhat."
A girl beside Xia Xiyan also smiled and said in a soft voice, "Senior Sister, who is this person? He is just an Inferior Grade Martial King. Why is he here?"
However, Xia Xiyan's expression did not change much. She said, "Xiao Rou, don't think that way. He is not an ordinary Inferior Grade Martial King."
A trace of killing intent flashed in Xiao Chen's calm eyes. He looked at Old Li and said, "May I know Senior's name?"
Old Li said indifferently, "This old man is Li Xiuzhu. If you are afraid, you can leave. If you stay, you have to agree to my request."
Li Xiuzhu, Li Xiuzhu. He firmly remembered this name in his heart. Xiao Chen swore that he would return today's humiliation a hundredfold in the future.
Without changing his expression, Xiao Chen said indifferently, "As you wish. I hope you will not regret your decision today."
Li Xiuzhu smiled coldly and said, "I will regret it? This old man has seen many geniuses, and I've seen even more people like you who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Even if I give you ten years, you won't be a threat to me. "
Bang!
Li Xiuzhu slammed the table heavily and snorted coldly, "I will let whoever defeats him pass the first round!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd instantly burst into an uproar. All of them rushed towards Xiao Chen at the same time.
If he directly passed the first round, not only would it be a pity that he could save a lot of energy, but he could also observe the various trump cards of others and not reveal his own trump card.
There were many benefits, and they would be able to gain a great advantage in the second round of the arena battles. There was no one who wouldn't want this opportunity.
Xiu!
However, a figure rushed ahead of everyone else. It was the Heavenly Sword Sect's Jin Wuji. His gaze was fixed on Xiao Chen.
The moment Li Xiuzhu spoke, Jin Wuji's figure appeared before Xiao Chen with a 'sou' sound.
Ding Fengchou's hand hovered in the air. He had just been about to stop Jin Wuji when he withdrew his hand.
In such a short period of time, he had actually burst forth with such great speed, not giving him a chance to react at all.
"I can't even stop him. How foolish. Fine, if you want to send yourself over as a stepping stone, it's up to you."
Ding Fengchou shook his head as he drained the wine in his cup in one gulp. However, this was a good opportunity for him to see what cultivation realm Xiao Chen had reached.
Jin Wuji's killing Qi spread out uncontrollably. He smiled somewhat savagely and said, "Xiao Chen, you did not expect such a day to come, did you? Back then, you sneak-attacked me and trampled on me. You definitely did not expect that one day, I would personally bury your hopes."
"Haha!" Jin Wuji laughed heartily. Back then, on the island, he had been stepped on by Xiao Chen. He had not even been able to retaliate. That was simply a nightmare.
After that, when he cultivated several times, Xiao Chen's appearance would appear in his mind, causing him to break down.
Jin Wuji knew that this was a heart demon. Xiao Chen had already become his heart demon. If he did not deal with him personally, the heart demon would exist forever.
His inner demons would always exist, and his strength would always be stagnant, and there would even be the danger of regressing.
Now, as long as he could endure ten moves, he would be able to destroy Xiao Chen's hopes of entering the Ancient Desolate Tower. This was undoubtedly a good opportunity to deal with his heart demon. How could he not be in a good mood?
Jin Wuji withdrew his smile and said with a sullen expression, "White Robed Bladesman, today, I will let you know that if you had not sneak-attacked me, you would not have stood a chance against me."
Xiao Chen flipped his palm and the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in his right hand. He said indifferently, "What a joke! Do you really think it was only because of a sneak-attack?"
When Mu Xinya saw Xiao Chen take out the Lunar Shadow Saber from the Universe Ring, her expression fluctuated. She muttered, "It really is him. Song Que's palm strike did not kill him."
From the moment Xiao Chen stepped into the hall, Mu Xinya's gaze never left Xiao Chen. This was because Xiao Chen's temperament was too similar to that of the person in her memories.
Calm, decisive, and unhurried. No matter what happened, his expression would not change. No matter who he met, he would not be servile or overbearing.
At this moment, when Xiao Chen took out the Lunar Shadow Saber, the saber from Mu Xinya's memories, she could finally confirm Xiao Chen's identity.
"Senior Sister, do you think this Xiao Chen can win?" Xia Xiyan's Junior Sister, who was beside her, asked.
Xia Xiyan replied uncertainly, "It is hard to say. His overall strength is definitely stronger than Jin Wuji's. However, it would be too difficult to defeat him within ten moves. Even I am not confident."
Most of the cultivators present felt the same way. "This Jin Wuji is lucky. He does not need to go through the first round."
Li Xiuzhu sat calmly in his seat. He had a faint smile on his face. He did not have any expectations for Xiao Chen.
Such an ignorant cultivator would not be able to achieve much in the future.
"Chi!"
Suddenly, a resonant sword hum resounded in the hall. Jin Wuji finally could not endure it any longer and made the first move.
The tip of the sword pointed at Xiao Chen. The long sword trembled continuously, and the air rippled like water.
A sharp Metal Concept was emitted from the sword's edge. Before the sword moved, the wind from the sword had already arrived.
An unparalleled sharp sword intent shot towards Xiao Chen. It tore through the air and entered Xiao Chen's forehead, trying to break his heart and disrupt his mental state.
The state of metal had only one attribute: sharpness. It was incredibly sharp. Based on Jin Wuji's aura, it was clear that he had cultivated the state of metal to Great Perfection.
"There is no more chance. Jin Wuji's state of metal has already reached Great Perfection. Although it has not reached peak Consummation, it is impossible to defeat him within ten moves," Xia Xiyan sighed.
The others in the hall all shook their heads. This battle was unfair from the start. Now, Xiao Chen had no chance at all.
Li Xiuzhu's frown relaxed, and he relaxed completely. He muttered to himself, "The result is already decided!"
When Xiao Chen felt that sharp sword intent, he had an idea. He circulated the Qi that he had not used before.
Ever since Xiao Chen condensed his Martial Spirit, he had experienced failures, setbacks, tribulations, perplexities, and worries. This was the Qi that only a bladesman possessed!
"Dang!"
A melodious clang resounded in the air. It was like divine weapons clashing in the air, giving off a heavy vibrating sound that spread into the surroundings.
Jin Wuji's Sword Intent was immediately blocked. The state of metal in the Sword Intent also vanished like smoke in thin air.
"Saber intent?"
When they heard the heavy vibrating sound and felt the Qi from Xiao Chen's body, some of the people in the hall felt suspicious.
Sabers were formed from swords. Saber intent was also derived from sword intent. However, it was even harder to comprehend than sword intent.
If the chances of comprehending sword intent were one in a hundred thousand, then the chances of comprehending saber intent were one in a million.
Furthermore, in the past few thousand years, no one had heard of anyone comprehending saber intent before the age of thirty.
The ten great bladesmen of the Ancient Desolate Land had all comprehended saber intent at the age of forty. Only the generation of the Thunder King had such a talented bladesman.
If one wanted to trace this back, it would be the Tianwu Dynasty, or even earlier, the Ancient Era.
Ding Fengchou's expression relaxed slightly. He said, "Fortunately, it is not saber intent. It is just a strand of Qi. However, just a strand of Qi can resist Jin Wuji's sword intent. How powerful would saber intent be?"
The others in the hall also heaved a sigh of relief. If it was really saber intent, it would be a huge blow.
Jin Wuji is not weak. If I want to defeat him under normal circumstances, I would have to fight him for more than a hundred moves.
If I want to defeat Jin Wuji within ten moves, I have to catch him off guard. Then, I have to charge forward like a ferocious tiger and crush him in one go, not giving him time to react.
Coincidentally, I have a set of Saber Techniques that can be used in one go, the Rushing Thunder Chop.
Although it is of a lower rank, Xiao Chen's Essence and state can make up for it. It is sufficient to deal with Jin Wuji!
After scattering Jin Wuji's sword intent, Xiao Chen took advantage of the moment his opponent was stunned to raise his right foot by half a meter. Then, he stomped down ferociously.
"Bang!"
This stomp merged Vital Qi and Essence. Xiao Chen did not hold back at all. It contained three hundred and fifty tons of force, and a crack immediately appeared in the ground. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
The entire hall shook. All the wine on the wooden table shattered with a 'ka ca ca' sound.
The crack quickly extended towards Jin Wuji. "Hu chi! Hu chi!" A sharp energy that was half a meter tall soared up from the crack.
As the crack extended, it charged straight at Jin Wuji. It was like a sharp knife trying to split Jin Wuji in half.
The stunned expression on Jin Wuji's face turned into one of extreme shock. He had not expected Xiao Chen to suddenly make such a move.
This was what it meant by catching the enemy off guard and attacking them when they were unprepared.
Jin Wuji's body shook along with the ground. When he saw the energy rushing at him, he quickly dodged to the side.
The energy passed by Jin Wuji and continued towards Li Xiuzhu, who was behind him. Li Xiuzhu remained expressionless as he stomped on the ground. The sharp energy instantly shattered into nothing.
At the same time, the crack in the ground stopped. When it reached Li Xiuzhu's table, it was difficult to move an inch further.
"Xiu!"
Jin Wuji had just stabilized his footing when he saw Xiao Chen's right hand grasping his saber hilt. Xiao Chen's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he rushed at him.
"Dong! Dong!
Dong! "Xiao Chen's footsteps sounded like thunder. He moved as fast as lightning, creating a strong wind. Jin Wuji could not keep his eyes open.
Jin Wuji had a bad feeling in his heart. He pushed off the ground and retreated.
Can I retreat? It is already too late.
Xiao Chen snorted coldly in his heart. His right hand, which was on the saber hilt, swung out. "Drawing the Saber!"
It was like a bolt of lightning had shot out from the scabbard. The purple light was so dazzling that it hurt everyone's eyes.
In the time it took for a spark to fly, Jin Wuji quickly spun his sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest, blocking this sword strike.
"Dang!"
The saber and sword clashed, giving off intense sparks and a 'chi chi' sound.
As he ran, Xiao Chen's aura was raised to its peak. On the other hand, Jin Wuji, who had lost the initiative and wanted to retreat, lost most of his aura.
Jin Wuji's arm felt numb, and his sword trembled. He nearly lost his grip on it.
"Arclight Chop!"
Xiao Chen activated the Blood Flame Shoes, and his speed increased explosively. In an instant, he arrived at Jin Wuji's side. The Lunar Shadow Saber sent out a strange arclight. The arclight flickered with electricity.
