Hong Gang bent his waist and raised his arms, one in front and one behind, making a strange fist posture. His eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at Chen Zong through the empty space between his fists.
He stood on his tiptoes and only used his front feet to step on the ground. He walked with light steps like a cat. He was silent and gave people a strange feeling of agility. His muscles were like flowing water. He was like a cheetah quietly walking in the tall wild grass. He gradually approached his prey and was only waiting for the best distance and opportunity to pounce on him.
Chen Zong stood still, allowing Hong Gang to move around him with light steps like a cat.
Hong Gang's footsteps were silent. He moved around Chen Zong faster and faster, like a gust of wind.
Suddenly, Hong Gang approached Chen Zong by five meters and appeared behind Chen Zong on the left. The corners of his eyes were shining like cold stars.
His muscles and bones were humming, his strength was surging, and his Genuine Qi was surging. A tiger's roar came from his muscles and bones, like a tiger's roar in the forest. Hong Gang seemed to have turned into a tiger king. His muscles were vibrating, and pushed by a strong force, he crossed five meters in an instant and pounced.
His hands were like fists and claws, but they were not. They were in between fists and claws. An amazing strength was condensed between his fingers, and the faint golden color gave people a sense of sharpness and invincibility.
Chen Zong's performance in the previous two rounds made Hong Gang realize that he was a strong opponent. Therefore, Hong Gang used all his strength from the beginning.
He used all his strength in both the Path of Body Refining and the Path of Qi Refining. He tried to defeat his opponent with one blow, or at least injure him.
An amazing aura was condensed in Hong Gang's hands. The golden light was condensed, as if it had turned into a fierce tiger head.
Hong Gang's fighting instinct was amazing, and he had rich fighting experience. He grasped the timing very well, and he attacked without hesitation, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
In close combat, the combination of the strength of the Path of Body Refining and the Path of Qi Refining made his strength even more powerful.
This attack made many people's faces change. From afar, it looked like a fierce tiger pouncing.
From the moment Hong Gang started to move, Chen Zong's soul sense fell on him. He carefully observed Hong Gang's every move because Chen Zong was very interested in Hong Gang's cultivation.
Under such observation, Chen Zong was finally certain that Hong Gang was indeed practicing a body-refining technique.
The power of this attack had already reached the early stage of the seventh layer of the Foundation Realm. It has to be said that Hong Gang was only at the late stage of the fifth layer of the Foundation Realm.
Just as Hong Gang's tiger claw was about to hit Chen Zong, the White Great Sword was unsheathed. A beam of white sword light pierced through the sky, following an extremely mysterious trajectory as it pierced towards Hong Gang.
The long sword pierced through the air and collided with Hong Gang's tiger claw. In an instant, Chen Zong felt two forces bombarding his sword.
Chen Zong's superb swordsmanship and Sword Tao realm made the sword in his hand seem to be connected to his arm by blood. He could clearly feel the feeling of the sword.
Of the two forces, one was true qi and the other was similar to Qi Force, but it felt more comprehensive than Qi Force.
The two forces hadn't completely fused, or else it wouldn't be two but one.
However, the two forces barely managed to fuse together. The power was quite shocking, but it was nothing to Chen Zong.
The sword was like a tree, and the force was like an ant that couldn't be shaken at all.
Chen Zong went straight to the point. The sword pierced through the tiger claw and headed straight for Hong Gang's heart.
This sword was very skillful, so it didn't pierce Hong Gang's heart. However, the tyrannical force was endless, wave after wave. Not only did it temporarily collapse Hong Gang's power, but it also made it impossible for him to adjust. He was forced back until he reached the edge of the stage.
"I lost." Hong Gang was a bit depressed. That sword made him understand that even if he used all his strength, he wouldn't be Chen Zong's match.
Another sword to determine victory!
Feng Pingsheng smiled, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes. He wanted to announce loudly that this person was the master of the Seven Swords Towers, but he held himself back. After all, Chen Zong had already resigned from his position as the master of the Seventh Swords Towers.
However, no matter what, Chen Zong came from the Seven Swords Towers. His father, Chen Zhenghong, had joined the Seven Swords Towers many years ago.
"However, I'll challenge you again soon. When that time comes, I'll defeat you." Hong Gang's expression brightened, and the trace of depression disappeared. His eyes were as bright as the sun, and his fighting spirit was astonishing.
"I hope so." Chen Zong smiled. Failure wasn't scary. What was scary was being unable to recover after a setback.
It didn't matter if someone could defeat him. He just had to work hard to catch up and surpass them.
However, according to the trajectory of development, it was almost impossible for anyone who was defeated by him to catch up to him. At least, that was the case in the Blue Waves World. Chen Zong wasn't sure if it would be the same in the powerful Lingwu Holy World, but he was looking forward to it.
After defeating Hong Gang, Chen Zong successfully entered the top 16, and obtained the qualification to challenge the top 10 outer sect disciples.
Not long after, Flying Flower Sword Ye Xiwen defeated her opponent again. However, this time, her opponent was very strong. He wasn't confused by her swordsmanship, and Ye Xiwen had to use more than ten swords to defeat him.
The fourth round of the preliminaries had ended. 16 people had advanced, and 16 people had been eliminated. However, even if those 16 people were eliminated, they would receive 5000 merit points as a reward. Those who advanced would receive 10,000 merit points as a reward, regardless of whether they could enter the top 10 outer sect disciples or not.
"There are three major stages: elimination, qualification, and final." The inner sect elder spoke with a vigorous voice. His sharp eyes swept across the crowd, bringing a bit of pressure. "Now that the preliminaries have ended, this elder would like to congratulate those who have entered the top 16. The skills you have displayed are very good, but you must remember not to be arrogant. Continue to work hard and go one step further."
Those who had entered the top 16 stood on the martial arts stage. Most of them had an excited expression on their faces. They had finally reached this step, but there were some who had different reactions.
For example, Yuanlong had a cold face.
For example, Liu Zhenji had a somewhat lazy expression.
For example, Ye Xiwen had a smile on her face, like a budding flower.
For example, Chen Zong had a calm expression on his face.
"Those who have entered the top 16 will each have a chance to challenge the top 10 outer sect disciples." The inner sect elder said. Suddenly, everyone's eyes focused on the top 10 outer sect disciples. They were burning with fighting spirit.
On the top 10 outer sect disciples, some of them were indifferent, some were arrogant, some were gloomy, and some did not care at all.
"Remember, everyone only has one chance. As long as you are in the top 10 outer sect disciples, you can challenge them. But remember, you cannot challenge the same person consecutively." The inner sect elder emphasized. "Now, this elder announces that the first half of the finals will begin. The challengers will be challenged from left to right."
From left to right, the first challenger was a girl. She was one of the two female disciples other than Ye Xiwen. Although she was a female disciple, her skin was dark and her body was strong. She was even stronger than many men, giving people a strong impression of a masculine woman.
"I want to challenge her." The big black girl's bull-like eyes were glowing as she slowly swept her gaze across the top ten outer sect disciples. Soon after, she extended a thick and long finger and pointed at one of them. It was Xu Ling, who was ranked ninth among the top ten outer sect disciples. She was also one of the two females among the top ten outer sect disciples.
"Hehehehe, big black girl, you will soon know what a mistake it is to challenge me." Xu Ling was stunned at first, then she stood up. Accompanied by a burst of crisp laughter, her body flew up like a feather and landed on the martial arts stage.
Only the big black girl and Xu Ling were left on the martial arts stage.
"I will defeat you." The big black girl said with a serious face. Her voice was loud and muffled. Soon after, she pulled out the big blade on her back.
The blade was black and the shape was simple. It gave people a feeling of heaviness.
The blade fell on the martial arts stage. As the big black girl ran forward and dragged the blade, it made an ear-piercing sound and countless sparks flew.
The big black girl was not only tall and sturdy, but her strength was also shocking. Like a mad bull, she rushed towards Xu Ling. When she was five meters away, the black heavy blade she was dragging suddenly swung forward. A black blade light broke through the air like a waterfall.
The power of the blade was fierce and the pressure of the blade was shocking. The wind from the blade made people's scalps tingle.
Xu Ling, who had just landed, could not help but have a slight change in her expression. This blade made her feel threatened.
The tip of her foot lightly touched the ground. Xu Ling's body seemed to be weightless and flew up again. She was like a feather spinning in the wind.
The big black girl held the black heavy blade with both hands. Her arms collided in a circle. Fierce and unparalleled, the shocking blade light was like a storm that wreaked havoc around her body.
There was only one word to describe it: Berserk!
Yes, the big black girl held the heavy blade with both hands and became incomparably berserk. Under such circumstances, people with similar strength would not be able to resist and would be defeated immediately.
Xu Ling's cultivation was about the same as the big black girl. However, she was worthy of being one of the top ten outer sect disciples. Her movement technique was superb and mysterious. She did not run away. Instead, she weaved in and out of the black blade storm. Whenever the blade came close to her, the strong wind would cause her body to float and she would naturally avoid it.
This was a Mortal Level High Rank Movement Technique of the Trance Stage. Just this point alone made Xu Ling somewhat invincible against this big black girl.
The big black girl's strength was strong and her breath was long. She waved the black blade for a quarter of an hour, but she still could not defeat Xu Ling. However, Xu Ling was not feeling well either. Maintaining this movement technique consumed a lot of her strength.
Fortunately, after a while, the big black girl's black blade paused slightly. Xu Ling knew that her chance to counterattack had come. Her body suddenly floated forward. The thin sword at her waist was unsheathed. It turned into a beam of light that pierced through the black storm and pierced towards the big black girl.
The sword was light and fast. The big black girl quickly waved her blade to block it. However, once the thin sword was launched, it was like a continuous rainstorm. There was not a single gap between the attacks.
Five consecutive stabs landed on the same spot on the black blade. Suddenly, the thick black blade was split open. The thin sword turned into a beam of light and pierced straight through.
This sword was beyond the big black girl's reaction. She was terrified and her hair stood on end.
However, in the end, the thin sword stopped at the big black girl's throat. It was just a little bit away from piercing her throat and coming out from the back of her neck.
"Why aren't you admitting defeat?" Xu Ling's clear voice sounded with a smile on her face.
"I admit defeat." The big black girl was very straightforward. In this situation, it was obvious who would win or lose. If she did not admit defeat, she would be too shameless.
