"Receive my move! Blood Washing the World!"
Ma Yuan shouted. This time, he did not use the starting stance of the Blood Shadow Saber Technique. Instead, he used one of the strongest killing moves of the Blood Shadow Saber Technique.
Clearly, Ma Yuan was in a rush. He wanted to defeat Xiao Chen in the shortest time possible, to regain the honor that he lost to Lin Fei.
A scarlet light filled the air, and a killing Qi spread out. Ma Yuan leaped into the air, carrying an aura that could split mountains. He contained a boundless killing intent as he headed for Xiao Chen's head.
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen held his saber with his left hand and did not draw it. He gently raised it and blocked this heavy saber strike. His feet did not move at all; he did not even move back a single step.
Ma Yuan was momentarily distracted. How can this be? Just the killing intent of this saber strike is enough to make a regular cultivator dodge it. Its might is incomparably strong.
However, Xiao Chen raised his hand and blocked it. This completely surpassed Ma Yuan's expectations. That killing intent was like a muddy sea; there were no ripples at all.
Xiao Chen had been waiting for this opportunity. He grasped the saber hilt with his right hand and instantly drew the Lunar Shadow Saber.
The powerful Massacre Intent drowned out Ma Yuan's surging killing intent in an instant.
The killing Qi that Ma Yuan was so proud of was like a child's joke before Xiao Chen.
"Dang!"
Ma Yuan withdrew his saber to block. However, the vast Essence contained in Xiao Chen's saber knocked him back. His Qi and blood surged endlessly.
Blood Washing the World!
I cannot lose! Ma Yuan shouted in his heart. He suppressed the surging Qi and blood in his body and executed another move of the Blood Shadow Saber Technique at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen said softly, "You still want to make a comeback? Can you do it?"
The purple crystalline Qi whirlpool spun quickly in Xiao Chen's body. The surging Essence gathered on the saber, and crystalline electricity appeared on the blade.
Xiao Chen swept his saber across and knocked Ma Yuan back again. The killing Qi of the Blood Shadow Saber Technique was broken, and its might decreased.
If Ma Yuan still wanted to clash head-on with Xiao Chen, he would not have the chance. Xiao Chen shouted and took the initiative to attack while holding the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Bang, bang, bang!
The saber light flickered, and the surging energy gave off a heaven-shaking roar. Xiao Chen hacked down three times, not giving Ma Yuan a chance to catch his breath.
He directly used his powerful Yuan Qi as a foundation to break the other party's killing intent and fight it head-on.
After three moves, the suppressed injuries in Ma Yuan's body erupted out ferociously. He vomited a mouthful of blood, his body incredibly weak.
Four moves. From the moment Xiao Chen drew his saber to the moment he sheathed it, he used only four moves to defeat the Divine Saber Gate's Ma Yuan.
Compared to Lin Fei's seven saber strikes, Xiao Chen had three less saber strikes. This time, none of the spectating cultivators dared to object to Xiao Chen's ranking.
In the dueling ring, the Divine Saber Gate's Ma Yuan, who was lying on the ground, had an unsightly expression. Originally, he wanted to prove himself in this battle. Who knew that he would lose again?
Moreover, he had been defeated so thoroughly and in such a sorry state. It was even more direct than his defeat at the hands of Lin Fei, and it made him feel even more despair.
Lin Fei had defeated him in seven moves. However, Ma Yuan believed that if it were not for that strange Saber Technique, Lin Fei would have needed at least a hundred moves to defeat him. Ma Yuan refused to accept this; he refused to accept this at all.
However, he had no choice but to accept his defeat at the hands of Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen did not compete in techniques with him.
Ma Yuan played with killing Qi, so Xiao Chen played with killing Qi. In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat. Before Ma Yuan's killing Qi, it was like a child's joke.
Ma Yuan wanted to clash head-on, and Xiao Chen did as he wished, clashing head-on with him. In the end, they were both Small Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs. Xiao Chen's Essence was much denser than Ma Yuan's. Be it quality or quantity, Xiao Chen's Essence far surpassed Ma Yuan's.
Four moves. Xiao Chen used only four moves, three less than when he lost to Lin Fei. Once again, a newcomer trampled on Ma Yuan, becoming their stumbling block.
When Xiao Chen, who was preparing to get off the stage, saw Ma Yuan's disappointed expression, he felt something in his heart. He stopped and said, "You did not lose to me; you lost to yourself. The Blood Shadow Saber Technique relies on killing Qi and the traceless nimbleness.
"However, you were too anxious. You only wanted to defeat your opponent quickly. However, you did not even bring out the surface of the Blood Shadow Saber Technique. If your heart is not steady, how can your Saber Techniques and Martial Techniques be perfect?
"Think about your move. Are the blood and shadows connected? There is no connection at all between the killing intent and the traceless spiritual aura. If you could cultivate it to Great Perfection, you would not have been defeated so miserably, even if you faced a stronger opponent. "
If Ma Yuan could not accept defeat at the hands of Lin Fei and Xiao Chen at the same time, it would become a demon in his heart. His progress in Saber Techniques would come to an end.
There were too few experts famous for their Saber Techniques in the continent. As a bladesman, Xiao Chen did not want to see an outstanding talent of the Saber Technique sink into dejection like this.
When the First Elder of the Divine Saber Gate in the spectator stands saw this scene, he smiled faintly and said, "This fellow is young, but his mental state is rare. I hope Ma Yuan can accept this. These two defeats might be his chance to transform from a cocoon into a butterfly. "
The First Disciple of the Divine Saber Gate, Li Zaixuan, also nodded and said, "This person is not simple. As an outsider, he seems to have a clearer understanding of the essence of the Blood Shadow Saber Technique than us."
The other newcomer in group five, Lin Fei, curled his lips. He said disapprovingly, "He sure knows how to act. He only defeated Ma Yuan in four moves. If I used my full strength, I would be able to defeat him in three moves."
The silent seeded participant, the Supreme Yi Sect's Gong Yangyu, had a hard-to-detect grave look in his calm eyes. He had a vague premonition that Xiao Chen would be a strong opponent for him in group five.
After Zuo Mo sat down, Xiao Chen started to pay attention to the matches of the people he was familiar with. Zuo Mo's luck was very bad. He was in the same group as Bai Zhan. In the first match, he met Bai Zhan.
It seemed like Bai Zhan's attacks were very heavy due to Zuo Mo's relationship with Xiao Chen. He did not seem to be in a rush to defeat Zuo Mo. Bai Zhan continued to grind Zuo Mo down. Occasionally, he would purposely reveal some small openings, letting Zuo Mo think that he still had a chance and would not admit defeat.
As time went by, Zuo Mo's injuries worsened. When he finally realized that he had no chance of defeating Bai Zhan, Bai Zhan laughed maniacally.
He sent out both palms. One palm was like an erupting volcano, surging with heatwaves. The other palm was like drifting snow, bone-chilling.
The combination of ice and fire entered Zuo Mo's body, causing his face to alternate between red and white. Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth like a fountain. Before Zuo Mo could admit defeat, Bai Zhan beat him until he lost all ability to continue fighting.
Zuo Mo was completely crippled for the day. He could only withdraw from the competition and forever lose the chance to enter the True Dragon Ranking.
After defeating Zuo Mo, Bai Zhan's lips curled up in a cold smile. He looked at Xiao Chen with a sinister and sinister gaze.
Bai Zhan was silently telling Xiao Chen that he was doing this on purpose. While he was tormenting his friend, he was also using this match to disrupt Xiao Chen's mental state and weaken his strength.
A dense murderous intent flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. However, his heart was as calm as still water. If Bai Zhan wanted to disrupt his mental state, then he would be gravely mistaken.
Not only would Bai Zhan's actions not achieve the effect he wanted, but they would also bring him an inescapable calamity. This was because he had thoroughly angered Xiao Chen!
"The seeded participant, Gong Yangyu, is coming out!"
Soft cries came from behind, pulling Xiao Chen back from his thoughts. He looked up and saw that Gong Yangyu was already standing in the dueling ring of group five, holding a staff in his hand.
The staff was about one meter long and greenish-purple in color. It was taller than Gong Yangyu by a head. Black patterns were drawn on the surface of the staff, making the entire staff seem very heavy.
Gong Yangyu's opponent was a male disciple from the Haotian Sect. His name was Gao Jian, and he used a rarely seen large axe. He walked the same path as Gong Yangyu, using large and bold moves.
As disciples of the ten great sects, the two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time. Gao Jian knew that he could not defeat Gong Yangyu. He smiled gently and said, "Brother Gong Yangyu, please show mercy."
Gong Yangyu said softly, "In that case, don't overdo it."
Gong Yangyu did not put on the airs of an expert. After he spoke, he spun the staff around with one hand. A strong wind blew, causing Gao Jian to squint. "Boom!
Boom! "
Amid the strong wind, two claps of thunder resounded. When the third clap of thunder rang out, Gong Yangyu's feet moved.
Wind and thunder roared. This staff strike carried the momentum of wind and thunder as it headed straight for the root of the problem.
It was clearly just a simple action, but Gong Yangyu's hands were like wind and thunder. He looked very imposing, giving off the air of a great grandmaster.
Gao Jian shouted and lowered his feet. He lowered his center of gravity, using the tenacity of an old tree's roots. He grasped the huge axe with both hands and swung it ferociously.
"Bang!"
The axe struck the top of the staff, creating a strong shockwave. An intense whirlwind formed around the two of them, rising up. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Gao Jian's foundation was solid, so his move was very ordinary. However, he did not have enough strength. The surging electric light on the tip of the staff forced him back a few steps.
Gong Yangyu had a very serious expression. He did not have any intention of underestimating his opponent. He quickly took seven steps to the side, leaving behind an afterimage with each step.
The seven afterimages held wooden staffs and used different moves. At a glance, it looked like seven people swinging their staffs at the same time.
"Xiu!"
When the seven afterimages merged, the staff in Gong Yangyu's hand moved at an unimaginable angle, piercing through Gao Jian's hands and the huge axe. Then, it pointed at Gao Jian's forehead.
As long as Xiao Chen used a little more force, Gong Yangyu's staff would be able to pierce through Gao Jian's head.
"Hu!
Hu! "Gong Yangyu withdrew his hand and spun his staff around before placing it behind him. He said softly," Thank you for going easy on me. "
Gao Jian laughed bitterly, and without saying a word, he jumped off the ring.
"How powerful. Exactly how did that last staff strike come out? I simply did not manage to see it clearly."
"Gong Yangyu's strength is rather stable. Compared to three years ago, he has improved significantly."
"A seeded participant is indeed extraordinary. With just two simple moves, he is clearly different from the other newcomers."
After watching Gong Yangyu's match, the nearby cultivators could not help but sigh in admiration. Aside from strength, many of them saw something else.
Gong Yangyu's moves were not very shocking. At the very least, they were not as exquisite as Lin Fei's strange Saber Technique.
However, for some reason, the crowd felt that Gong Yangyu was very strong, even stronger than Lin Fei.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. With one glance, he could see through the logic behind this. It was all about accumulations.
In Xiao Chen's previous life, Lin Fei would have been a nouveau riche. He would be stunning and overbearing, showing off his sharpness. As for Gong Yangyu, he had been famous for a long time. His sharpness was withdrawn, forming a unique aura. After some time, he might become a grandmaster of the Staff Dao.
