Everyone was shocked!
No one would have thought that Qin Zhizhen, who had delayed until the final stage, deduced the Yama Palace to the last step and successfully revealed the true body of the Emperor of Hell, would still be defeated!
But no one could say they were unconvinced when they lost to the sword immortal who wore the frost wind, bathed in the red fire, and stepped on the green clouds!
This was an ancient sword. The immortal used the peak of the mountain as a sword to break through the long night and defeat the Emperor of Hell.
It was lofty and majestic, and its aura was lofty.
Its light was brilliant and its power was impressive!
This battle was not inferior to the battle between Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun. It was even better.
The Tianjiao in the outer arena was too dazzling and resplendent, causing many spectators to feel tired and unable to get excited about the battle in the inner arena.
Although Jiang Wang set a record for the fastest victory in history as soon as he went on stage, Zhuang Guolin and Lin Zhengren were defeated before the battle.
But it inevitably made people feel that …
It was just so-so.
Even before the battle, things like backlashes would happen. Was this the level of the inner arena?
Until Deng Qi of Tianjiao, Mu Country, showed his extreme talent and mixed many terrifying killing techniques together.
Only then did the inner arena have something to watch.
When it came to the peak battle between Tianjiao and Qi Chu, many people began to take the quality of the inner arena seriously.
Unfortunately, although the battle of souls was extremely strong, it was considered the top battle in the inner arena. After all, it mainly happened in the Tongtian Palace, so it was difficult for the spectators to see the excitement.
The scene of Jiang Wang leaping out of the broken Fire World and using the Killing Nail to crush the Seizing Thief's Overlord Body could be considered a stunning scene.
Then Qin Zhizhen lit up the five prefectures on the spot and chased after Jung Genzun in the outer arena, instantly raising the audience's expectations to the highest!
In the first half of the semi-finals, Ni Lu fought against the Emperor's sword, raising the level of excitement of the inner arena to the forefront of history.
This was not the end!
After the second half of the semi-finals, no one would doubt it anymore.
The quality of the inner arena of this Yellow River Conference was already in the top three in history.
The battle between the sword immortal and the Emperor of Hell was definitely one of the most exciting Tianjiao battles since ancient times!
When Jiang Wang used the mountain as a sword and crashed into the Emperor of Hell.
On Qi's viewing platform, Wang Yiwu, who was sitting with some of the young generals in the army, suddenly lost the fighting spirit that had been burning in his eyes for a long time.
Before Jiang Wang's sword strike, he didn't think that his performance would be any worse than Jiang Wang's. Without the punishment at the East Street Entrance, no one knew who would represent Qi in the Inner Mansion Arena. It was time for him to compete with the other countries' geniuses on the World Stage!
After Jiang Wang's sword strike, he really couldn't find a way to defeat him!
But Wang Yiwu was Wang Yiwu after all.
His eyes dimmed for a moment, then lit up again.
He might not be as good today, but he might not be as good tomorrow.
Being inferior for a day might not mean being inferior for a thousand days!
If Jiang Wang could surpass him, defeat him, and surpass him, how could he, Wang Yiwu, not surpass him?
Endless waves surging in the sea, one punch to the sky and suppressing the tide!
Chung Geng Sheng, who also saw this sword strike, clenched his fists tightly. His eyes, which were sunk in his fat, widened until they looked like two soybeans embedded in dough.
This was already a perfect scene that was beyond his imagination.
From Tianfu City to the East Street Entrance, from the Tianya Stage to the Riverview Stage.
Jiang Qingyang never disappointed him!
Fourteen, who was beside him, looked down at his armored hand.
What should I do? She thought.
If he wants to beat you up in the future, I really can't stop him …
Chung Geng Sheng's seat was about twenty rows in front of him. The first row of seats was Qi's preparation area.
Cao Jie leaned back slightly, his posture obviously more relaxed.
He glanced at Jung Genzun, who was wearing a snow-white robe, and saw that his proud side profile was also very serious.
Even Chongxuan's magnificence couldn't outshine Linzi alone. As a high-ranking member of Qi, he only felt satisfaction in his heart.
Jung Genzun looked quietly in the direction of the martial arts arena. There was only regret in his eyes.
Regret that he couldn't fight with Jiang Qingyang in the Inner Mansion. He couldn't use the Sun, Moon, and Star to slash this sword immortal!
Now that he saw Dou Zhao's Five Decay of Heaven and Man, it could be said that he had gained something.
But if only he had fought for the Inner Mansion before the Imperial Ancestral Temple …
After fighting for the Inner Mansion, no matter the result, he would have entered the Outer Mansion.
Then, he would have seen the sword immortal and the Five Decay of Heaven and Man. How happy would that be!
He, Jung Genzun, would be the most powerful person in the world. That was not a waste of time!
What a pity!
Ji Zhaonan held his spear horizontally across his knees, and the snow-white Shaohua Spear trembled slightly on his knees.
He laughed silently.
As a Divine Descent expert, his battle intent was actually stimulated by an Inner Mansion cultivator. That was really a rare thing.
But he was really looking forward to what kind of scenery it would be when Jiang Wang became a Divine Descent expert!
If Jiang Wang could first defeat Wang Yiwu in the Inner Mansion and then defeat Ji Zhaonan in the Divine Descent, he could take the title of the Divine Army's disciple's nemesis …
Wouldn't that be interesting?
In contrast to the Qi people, the Qin people's mood was naturally complicated.
Zhang Gu didn't say a word for a long time.
Compared to Gan Chang 'an's failure, Qin Zhizhen's defeat made him sigh. Because Gan Chang 'an was only nineteen years old, his accumulation in the Outer Mansion was slightly lacking. Before the battle, he only expected two to fight for first place … In the end, he stopped in the top eight.
Meeting Dou Zhao was also something that couldn't be helped.
Qin Zhizhen was different. His knife skills were beyond the top, and he, who achieved Five Mansion Glory, was the one who vowed to win first place in the Qin State this time.
In the Inner Mansion, he didn't even think about the possibility of second place.
But now he stopped in the top four …
But he really couldn't say that Qin Zhizhen's performance wasn't outstanding enough. It could only be said that the world was vast, the stars were bright, and there was a mountain outside the mountain. Jiang Qingyang was indeed extremely talented. It was only natural for him to win!
The dignified commander-in-chief of the Ba Rong army was deeply worried about national affairs. He glanced at Huang Budong. Now he could only count on this guy …
However, the little old man Huang Budong narrowed his eyes and stared absent-mindedly. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Sigh!
No one in the whole audience of the Qin State could say anything.
Consecutive losses in the Outer Mansion and Inner Mansion were really hard to accept for the Qin people, who were very proud of their martial arts.
They had clearly won the battle of the valley and defeated Qiang Chu, and their influence was rapidly expanding. At one point, they wanted to compete with the Jing State for the title of the strongest.
But the results of the Yellow River Conference …
It was really not enough to match the strength of the Great Qin State.
Gan Chang 'an was silent.
What did it mean to be able to connect with the sword?
This was it!
Qin Zhizhen's loss was not unjustified.
He had nothing to say!
The peerless sword on the martial arts stage had illuminated many people's hearts.
In the Mu State audience, Helian Yunyun's pale blue eyes turned and tilted his head to look at Zhao Rucheng.
Although he didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.
"Your sworn brother is very awe-inspiring!"
The corners of Zhao Rucheng's mouth curled up and he smiled.
He smiled proudly, smiled brightly, and his smile was too charming!
This was the first time Helian Yunyun had seen Zhao Rucheng smile so naturally, freely, and frankly since she knew him!
So she couldn't help but smile.
At the same time, she accurately blocked Zhao Rucheng's smile, not giving the nun Yuzhen a chance to see it.
Because of this, she also neglected that from beginning to end, Yuzhen had been looking in the direction of the martial arts stage without moving her gaze for a moment.
Unlike Zhongshan Weisun, who sucked in a breath of cold air, and Governor Xiahou Lie, who was nervous and worried about the young Tianjiao of the Mu State.
Huang Sheli was simply dazzling. She casually sat cross-legged on her seat, her elbows on her knees, and her hands supporting her face as she looked at the martial arts stage in a daze.
Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful to death!
She really is a sword fairy!
This Yellow River Conference was really worth it!
Xiahou Lie glanced at her for a long time, but she didn't notice.
Was she studying her opponent?
The dignified Governor of Xiao Qi could only comfort himself like this.
For the spectators other than Qin Qi, putting aside the standpoint of the country, they could feel this battle more wholeheartedly.
They were also deeply shocked by this scene.
It had nothing to do with the country, nothing to do with anything else, only the purest beauty of strength bursting forth. That was the most naked human perception of strength. That was probably the most magnificent view they would ever see in their entire lives in the Inner Palace!
Such a gorgeous battle scene was imprinted in their eyes, as if it was also imprinted in their hearts, unable to dissipate for a long time.
What was called a gathering of the winds and clouds?
Nothing was better than today.
What was called a peerless Tianjiao?
Nothing was better than this battle!
And at this moment, on the ancient martial arts stage, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people …
Jiang Wang took a few steps forward.
The lines of fire on his body were still burning, the frost cloak on his back was still fluttering, and the sword light in his eyes was still shining.
Indescribable elegance, inexhaustible elegance!
His expression was very calm.
There was no ecstasy after winning, as if this was an inevitable result.
There was also no feigned contempt for the so-called "defeated opponent," because he had also trekked to this point with difficulty.
At this moment, he was looking down at Qin Zhizhen on the ground.
He only asked, "How is he now?"
This was the second time Jiang Wang had asked the same question.
At this moment, Qin Zhizhen was like a reef in the raging sea.
At this moment, Qin Zhizhen was lying powerlessly on the ground.
The true body of the Emperor of Hell had already been defeated, and the dignified imperial robe on his body had naturally faded away.
At this time, only that black martial robe was still accompanying him.
Perhaps it also counted the broken blade in his hand.
His hand holding the blade was so tight, as if he was unwilling to give up.
But the clear light of the True Lord Yu Qian continuously transmitted a warm feeling, continuously passing on vitality … This feeling made him understand that if it weren't for this clear light, he would already be dead.
So he really had lost.
How could I lose?
He thought.
The two most dazzling Tianjiao in this year's outer arena were Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun.
He didn't think he had lost to either of them.
His control of Killing techniques was not as good as Dou Zhao's, and his development of Divine Powers was not as good as Jung Genzun's. But he was like a combination of the two, and his Killing techniques and Divine Powers had already surpassed the pinnacle!
No matter who he faced in the same realm, he shouldn't have lost.
Actually, he was not at his strongest right now.
If he was at his peak, his Iron Wall Divine Powers could be integrated into the Yama Palace, replacing the materialized walls of the Yama Palace and strengthening the power of the Yama Palace. The Yama Palace could leave the void, return to the real world, and exist as an artifact in battle.
His true body of the Emperor of Hell was also not at its peak. It couldn't absorb external power, and he had also lost the Black Deity, and the Judge of Life and Death had also consumed an arm …
He should have also used the Unclothed Divine Powers to create a soul robe and drape it over the Emperor of Hell's body.
The Emperor of Hell's true body at its peak, draped in soul robe, with the Yama Palace in one hand and the Horizontal Blade in the other, was his strongest state.
But in the end of this battle, the Iron Wall had been shattered, and the soul robe had disappeared.
The Emperor of Hell's true body was only barely manifested.
Although the Myriad Transformations Divine Powers could replenish all the power, there was also a limit to it. It was almost exhausted to replenish the power of the Void Refinement Divine Powers …
He actually had a lot of reasons.
But how could he, Qin Zhizhen, accept these reasons?
Wasn't the reason why he couldn't display his strongest state also because he had lost in the previous battle?
Those losses weren't because he took the initiative to give in, but were forced out step by step in the battle between the blade and the sword.
He had indeed lost!
If he wasn't willing to face defeat, he would never have the possibility of winning back.
At this moment, he, who was lying on the ground with a weak aura, was like an immortal compared to Jiang Wang, who was overflowing with colorful lights.
He looked at his opponent like this as a loser.
This time, he didn't smile again.
He said slowly, "After he defeated Wei Yu in Xianyang City, he wanted to go to Wu Pass to test his sword. I stopped him by the Wei River and made an agreement with him to fight in the same realm. He broke through to the Inner Palace on the spot and fought with me. I asked him why he did this … "
You couldn't tell if his "slow" speech was because it was difficult to speak or because he was serious.
People would never be able to see Qin Zhizhen's expression of pain.
Like a reef facing a torrent, he was forever silent.
He continued in this way, "He said that someone walked up step by step from the abyss of despair, all the way forward. That kind of radiance illuminated him, so he didn't want to retreat."
Qin Zhizhen kept his promise before the battle and repeated the battle by the Wei River. "I gave him time and saw his sword formation … it was indeed a sword that illuminated the world."
That guy who wanted nothing more than to change his name to "Down" actually said that he didn't want to retreat.
That guy who was always lazy in front of him, who never cared no matter what glory he obtained, would actually say in front of others, "That person's radiance illuminated me."
"And then?" Jiang Wang asked.
"His sword broke through the Wei River, and I beat him to the bottom of the Wei River," Qin Zhizhen replied. He didn't hide or embellish that battle.
"I think he shouldn't be dead," Jiang Wang said.
Qin Zhizhen didn't seem to intend to anger Jiang Wang, especially in his current state.
So he said, "Yes. I didn't kill him. "
Jiang Wang looked at him. "I saw fighting spirit in your eyes. Perhaps you weren't willing to accept today's battle. If you had come to challenge me in the outer tower, I would have spared your life. "
You spared my friend once, so I will spare you once.
He spoke calmly, as if he was describing an established fact.
This tone was exactly the same as on the day of the selection, when he had said to Qin Zhizhen, "When I defeat you, I will ask you again."
However, after such a glorious victory, no one doubted his confidence anymore.
And for Qin Zhizhen.
In fact, from the beginning, he had never doubted this confidence.
From the beginning of the selection, they had competed for power, will, and strength. He had never underestimated Jiang Wang.
Because after seeing Fang Qiang's sword that illuminated the world, he had said, "You have such killing power when you just entered the Inner Palace. If you were given more time, you would be qualified to fight for second place in the Inner Palace."
And at that time, Fang Qiang had said, "You are now qualified to fight for second place."
He asked, "Who is first?"
Fang Qiang said, "It is the person who illuminated my path. First in the Eastern Territory, Jiang Qingyang. "
Because of the power of that sword, he had not been angry. Instead, he had taken those words seriously and truly regarded Jiang Wang, whom he had never met, as an opponent. That was why, from the beginning of the selection to the battle just now, he had continued.
At this moment, in the face of Jiang Wang's words, he should have been angry.
But for some reason, he was not angry.
This was the most terrifying thing for a true expert! It meant that he had admitted in his heart that Jiang Wang was qualified to go around him once in the outer tower!
How could this be?
Qin Zhizhen tried hard to find the emotion of unwillingness and indignation.
He struggled to say, "If I had used all my strength from the beginning …"
He fell silent.
Because at this moment, he suddenly realized.
By the Wei River, the successor of Gu Feijian, whom he had defeated, had attacked him at that time!
This sword was absolutely famous!
… …
… …
… …
… …

It just so happened that I was not satisfied with the line I casually wrote … Hehe, I should use it quickly.
