With a series of roars, many huge figures whizzed over, bringing with them a strong stench.
Fang Xingchen was expressionless. His eyes were as cold as the stars, and he did not move an inch. It was only when the few huge figures got close to him with astonishing whizzing sounds that he raised his hand.
It seemed to be very slow, so slow that every single movement was very clear, with a unique rhythm. He flipped his palm and slapped out gently.
In that instant, that arm split into a few, slapping out toward the huge figures that were charging over with a roar.
Bang bang bang!
Sounds of drum beats rang out. Fang Xingchen retracted his hand and let it fall naturally. Without turning back, he walked forward smoothly, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll.
Those few huge figures seemed to be confined in midair. Their bodies trembled violently, and a series of explosive sounds rang out from their bodies. Then they exploded, turning into balls of light. Most of the light dissipated, and a small portion of them condensed into dots of Origin Light that flew rapidly toward Fang Xingchen, entering his body.
Saber light cut through the air, slashing a Origin Beast apart. It turned into light and disappeared, leaving behind only a few dots of Origin Light that entered his body. With a long saber in hand, Yu Zhengxiao left at lightning speed.
There were only two hours. He had to try his best to kill as many Origin Beasts as possible to obtain Origin Light. Otherwise, if he did not have enough Origin Light and was unable to get into the top ten, it would be very regretful.
Two hours was a very short time. Every second counted.
However, if he wanted to kill Origin Beasts in a race against time, he would need to have sufficient abilities.
The weakest Origin Beast here was at the early stage of the nine-star level. Similarly, among the over two hundred core disciples who had entered, the weakest was at the early stage of the nine-star level.
With a bang, a core disciple was sent flying by a huge black bear.
The powerful impact caused the core disciple's face to contort. He felt a terrifying force gushing into his body, going on a rampage, wanting to wreak havoc. It was as if his bones and organs had been crushed into a lump, causing him to lose his battle prowess.
That huge bear did not give chase. Instead, it turned and left.
Then, that core disciple was surrounded by a force and sent outside.
This meant that he would be eliminated.
The Origin Beasts here would not kill or cause serious injuries. However, if one were to be hit by them, they would suffer from the impact of their powerful force. It would be very painful. If one could not withstand it, they would lose their battle prowess temporarily. This meant that they would be eliminated.
In less than a quarter of an hour, several core disciples had already been eliminated.
After killing a Withered Swamp Fierce Crocodile and obtaining four origin lights, Chen Zong continued forward. He raised his perception to the limit and searched for even more origin beasts to kill.
His goal was to obtain first place in the Sect Tournament. Thus, obtaining more Origin Lights was a must. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to enter the top ten and would be directly eliminated, not to mention first place. That would be extremely embarrassing.
Although he did not really care about it, he had no choice but to care. After all, he was the disciple of the Dark Feather Mountain Lord.
If the Dark Feather Mountain Lord's disciple couldn't even enter the finals, he would undoubtedly become a laughingstock. It would cause the Dark Feather Mountain Lord to lose face.
With the Huanzhen Sharp Sword in hand, Chen Zong moved forward. With his superhuman senses, he would occasionally find Meta Beasts. No matter what level the Meta Beasts were, they could not stop Chen Zong's attack.
Gradually, the accumulated Essence Light increased from the initial four points to forty points.
Chen Zong wasn't sure if forty Essence Light was a lot among the core disciples. He could only try his best to hunt Meta Beasts.
With a casual stab, he pierced through a Meta Beast. The Meta Beast turned into light and dissipated. Only four Essence Light entered Chen Zong's body.
Immediately after, a figure flew close to the ground like a stream of light.
Due to the special environment, the core disciples who entered would often choose to travel on the ground to save energy.
As the stream of light flew past, a tyrannical aura locked onto Chen Zong. That aura was as brilliant as a strong light, as if it wanted to penetrate Chen Zong from the inside out.
"Dark Feather Mountain's Chen Zong?" There seemed to be some surprise in his tone, and there was even a hint of playfulness. The light dissipated, and a figure appeared in front of him.
He wore a dark blue long robe with a three-wheel symbol on the cuffs. It represented his identity as a core disciple of Mingguang Mountain.
"What can I do for you?" Chen Zong asked in a neither fast nor slow manner.
"My name is Qin Yijue." The person tilted his head slightly. His sharp eyes carried a hint of scrutiny, and there was a playful smile at the corner of his mouth. He sized up Chen Zong carefully, as if he wanted to see through Chen Zong. This kind of gaze would make people feel very impolite and irritated. However, Chen Zong's expression did not change, as if he did not feel anything.
"I heard that you're very arrogant. Not only did you injure a few Junior Martial Brothers, but you also betrayed Mingguang Mountain and killed a few Mingguang Guards. How do you think this matter should be resolved?" Qin Yijue seemed to be asking in return.
"How do you think this matter should be resolved?" Chen Zong could not help but be amused. He had heard of the name Qin Yijue from Senior Martial Brother Yu Zhengxiao. He was considered the second core disciple of Mingguang Mountain and was not weak.
However, judging from the other party's posture, he was not clear about Chen Zong's true strength.
Thinking about it, even Chen Zong himself was not clear about what level his strength had reached. After all, he lacked a suitable opponent to verify it. However, he was at least at the level of the third level.
If there were no accidents, out of all the core disciples in the entire Tai Yuan Heaven Sect, only Fang Xingchen and himself should have reached the third level.
However, many people knew that Fang Xingchen had reached the third level, while Chen Zong's Senior Martial Brother Yu Zhengxiao probably knew that he had reached the third level. Chen Zong's Master, Mount Blue Feather's Mountain Chieftain, as well as some of the Mount Blue Feather's Elders, probably knew as well. However, none of them had spread the news, so no one else knew about it.
"Hand over all your Origin Light and let me break your arms and legs. Don't worry, I'll act quickly and won't let you feel any pain." Qin Yijue had a playful smile on his face, but a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
"As you wish," Chen Zong's voice rang out, and in an instant, he charged out like a gust of wind.
"You're courting death." Qin Yijue was slightly stunned. Then, a hint of malevolence flashed across his playful face. He stretched out his right arm, which was covered by a malevolent golden vambrace. His five fingers, which were covered by the vambrace, were like the sharpest claws aimed at Chen Zong. Then, his five fingers emitted a dazzling golden light. The golden light circled around his five fingers and continued to move forward like a vortex. Under the high-intensity compression, it became extremely sharp.
Some of the people who were watching the battle saw the conflict between Chen Zong and Qin Yijue.
"It's Senior Martial Brother Qin Yijue."
"Who is that? How dare he fight with Senior Martial Brother Qin? "
"His name is Chen Zong, a core disciple of Dark Feather Mountain. It's said that he's the disciple of Dark Feather Mountain's Mountain Lord."
"So it's him. Senior Martial Brother Qin, teach him a good lesson."
Upon hearing the name Chen Zong, the expressions of many disciples from Mingguang Mountain changed drastically, and they were filled with righteous indignation.
They had also heard about what had happened earlier. Of course, what they knew was definitely different from the truth.
However, their voices couldn't reach the inside at all, because it was isolated.
"Dark Feather, get ready," Mingguang Mountain's Mountain Lord suddenly said. He didn't try to hide it from the others.
Upon hearing this, many people were stunned. Then, they realized that this was a small grudge between the two of them.
Of course, if they had to talk about it, everyone knew that Dark Feather Mountain and Mingguang Mountain didn't get along with each other. As for Chen Zong's matter, everyone also knew about it. They had even investigated the cause and effect of it.
However, it involved the Mountain Lord, so they couldn't say anything.
"I'm afraid you're the one who needs to get ready." Dark Feather Mountain's Mountain Lord replied calmly. His attitude made Mingguang Mountain's Mountain Lord frown slightly. He couldn't help but have a bad feeling.
Actually, Mingguang Mountain's Mountain Lord didn't pay much attention to Chen Zong. Ever since he gave the order that day, he didn't ask about it anymore. He also didn't deliberately investigate everything about Chen Zong. After all, Chen Zong was a high and mighty expert in the Profound Sky Realm. He was also a Mountain Lord. Regardless of status or strength, there was a huge gap between them.
Chen Zong might have outstanding talent, but it was still unknown whether he could become a Profound Sky Realm expert in the future.
In the Transcendent Realm, every breakthrough wasn't accidental. It was inevitable under various conditions. It wasn't something that could be achieved just by talent.
Many amazing people either faded away or died prematurely after stepping into the Transcendent Realm.
Even if Chen Zong could reach the Profound Sky Realm in the future, it would be extremely difficult for him to compare with Mingguang Mountain's Mountain Lord. After all, Mingguang Mountain was a late-stage Profound Sky Realm expert.
For various reasons, Mingguang Mountain's Mountain Lord didn't care about Chen Zong at all.
Otherwise, if he investigated carefully, he might know that Chen Zong's strength wasn't something that Qin Yijue could compare with.
As soon as Qin Yijue made his move, his sharp fingers fiercely grabbed Chen Zong's sword.
His purpose was very simple. First, he would grab Chen Zong's sword, then take it away. After that, he would break his limbs. If he could force Chen Zong to hand over Yuan Guang, it would naturally be better.
It had to be said that Qin Yijue's calculations were very good, but the reality was often not so satisfactory.
The moment Qin Yijue's five fingers clasped Chen Zong's long sword, and the moment his arm shook and his five fingers exerted force, an irresistible force suddenly burst out from the long sword, directly bouncing off his tightly clasped fingers and crushing the power contained in his five fingers.
The sword pierced through the air and stabbed straight at Qin Yijue.
It was extremely fast, unbelievably fast. It was so fast that Qin Yijue's pupils shrank, but he couldn't react in time.
A puchi sound rang out, accompanied by the sound of a sharp blade rubbing against bone. Immediately, the sword flashed again, and another ear-piercing rubbing sound that made one's scalp tingle rang out.
A sharp pain swept through his entire body from his shoulders and legs, making Qin Yijue couldn't help but scream and wail, his whole body twitching non-stop.
"Hand over all your Yuan Guang, or I don't mind stabbing a few more holes in your body." Chen Zong pointed his sword at Qin Yijue, who was trembling all over because of the sharp pain. His indifferent tone made Qin Yijue's pale face change again.
Qin Yijue's mind was in a mess. How could this be? How could I be defeated in an instant?
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
There was no response. Chen Zong directly drew his sword and pierced through Qin Yijue's body again.
However, Chen Zong's every sword strike only injured Qin Yijue and made him feel pain, but it didn't damage his foundation or cripple him. This way, it wouldn't violate the rules of the competition.
"Stop, I'll give it to you."
