Flying Flower Sword Ye Xiwen lost, while Green Luo Sword Ye Xijun kept her spot.
In the next few battles, Xu Mu was challenged and lost.
After the sixteen battles, there were some changes in the top ten.
First seat, Yang Chaofan.
Second seat, Ye Xijun.
Third seat, Chen Zong.
Fourth seat, Huang Tianqi.
Fifth seat, Yu Haoran.
Sixth seat, Liu Zhenji.
Seventh seat, Yuanlong.
Eighth seat, Jin Hou.
Ninth seat, Xu Ling.
Tenth seat, Ma Yunlong.
"First, I would like to congratulate all of you who have won the challenges." The inner sect elder smiled and said, "But don't be too proud, because this is only the first half of the finals. There is still the second half and the final."
"In the second half, all of you who were defeated will have a chance to challenge the top ten again. If you win, you will be able to get back into the top ten."
As the inner sect elder finished his words, Xu Mu, Yin Chong, Tan Lie, and Zhang Tiekuang's eyes lit up. Their chance had come.
They were obviously unwilling to be defeated, because only by getting into the top ten would they be able to get a great reward. Otherwise, why would they train so hard?
"I announce that the second half of the finals has begun." As the inner sect elder finished his words, Xu Mu immediately stepped onto the stage.
"I want to challenge Xu Ling." Xu Mu pointed his sword at Xu Ling.
Right now, among the top ten, the one who had the highest chance of being defeated by him was Xu Ling. He was no match for the others.
Xu Ling was not surprised either. She stood up and landed lightly on the stage. She took out her thin sword.
Xu Mu's sword was like a storm while Xu Ling's was like a drizzle. The two's sword arts were similar, and their attacks were seventy to eighty percent similar as well. Their attacks were fast and dense. The two swords clashed continuously, shooting out thousands of sparks.
Xu Mu wanted to defeat Xu Ling to get back into the top ten, while Xu Ling wanted to keep her spot. Both of them were trying their best.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Mu's power was slightly weaker than Xu Ling's. But, under the intense desire to win, his potential was further stimulated.
They were evenly matched. Attacking with attacking, it was extremely intense. In the end, the two did not even use their movement arts. They used all of their Zhen Qi on their sword arts.
"Lose!" Xu Mu roared, and the dozens of sword lights suddenly condensed into one. It was the most powerful, majestic and shocking, like a thunderbolt that broke through the curtain of rain.
This move was one of Xu Mu's hidden techniques. Xu Ling was caught off guard and her thin sword was deflected.
Xu Mu won, Xu Ling lost.
But even if Xu Mu won, his countenance was pale and his entire body was filled with fatigue. It was too difficult, this victory was simply too difficult.
The second to issue a challenge was Yin Chong.
Yin Chong's cold eyes glanced over the top 10 and paused slightly at Chen Zong. At first, he had planned to choose Chen Zong, but Chen Zong was so strong that he was afraid of him. He was afraid that he would lose and miss the top 10, so he had to change his target.
"Ma Yunlong." Yin Chong stared coldly at Ma Yunlong.
Xu Mu had won against Xu Ling, so he couldn't be challenged. In comparison, Ma Yunlong seemed to be easier to deal with.
Ma Yunlong couldn't help but smile bitterly. He could defeat Xu Mu because of his strength, but he wasn't that much stronger than Xu Mu. Yin Chong's strength wasn't weak, and Ma Yunlong didn't have much confidence to keep the top 10. But since he was challenged, he had to fight with all his strength.
"Chop!"
A chilly wind blew, and a dense blade light shot out, piercing through the air.
Ma Yunlong's expression was solemn. He leaped up, and his spear pierced through the air like a rainbow.
In the Blue Cloud Sect, there were many sword cultivators, and very few spear cultivators. Ma Yunlong was one of them, and he was one of the best.
Yin Chong seemed to be venting all his anger from the previous defeat with the long blade in his hand. One blade followed by another, and each blade was endless.
Ma Yunlong's long spear danced, like a dragon dancing in the air. Every attack was not only fast, but also shockingly powerful.
This kind of battle was even more intense and shocking.
Chilly Wind Triple Slash!
The terrifying three blade attacks shattered Ma Yunlong's offense, and he could only rotate his long spear to defend. But he couldn't resist the third blade and was sent flying, bleeding profusely.
Yin Chong won.
The third battle was initiated by Tan Lie.
Without any hesitation, Tan Lie directly called out Jin Hou.
This was an unavoidable battle, and Jin Hou knew this as well, so he faced it calmly.
Jin Hou landed on the ground and immediately used his agile movement technique. He knew that his strength wasn't as good as Tan Lie's, so he planned to use guerrilla tactics, using his agile movement technique to exhaust his opponent's strength.
However, Tan Lie specialized in leg techniques. Although his body wasn't as agile as Jin Hou, his speed wasn't inferior. His pair of long legs almost disappeared, and turned into a gust of wind, constantly closing in on Jin Hou. He kept kicking, and every kick was shockingly powerful.
Boom boom boom!
The entire martial arts arena was filled with raging winds, and every gust of wind was extremely powerful, causing most of the outer sect disciples to tremble in fear.
Jin Hou constantly relied on his agile body to dodge, shuttling through the gaps of the gust of wind. This tactic might work against those who were slow, but to Tan Lie, it was just delaying for a bit more time. It was equivalent to a deathbed struggle.
In a moment of carelessness, Jin Hou was brushed by Tan Lie's terrifying leg wind. His body swayed, and he couldn't dodge the second leg.
With a bang, Jin Hou flew out and coughed up blood.
Although he wasn't weak, his main weakness was his agility. His attack and defense were lacking, so he couldn't resist.
The fourth battle was initiated by Zhang Tiekuang.
Zhang Tiekuang's cultivation level was at the early seventh layer of the Foundation Realm. Aside from the top three, everyone who hadn't been challenged became nervous.
Liu Zhenji!
Yu Haoran!
Huang Tianqi!
Zhang Tiekuang's gaze swept across everyone. To be safe, he had to get into the top 10 first.
"You." Zhang Tiekuang's finger stopped moving and landed on Yu Haoran.
Yu Haoran was filled with hatred.
He wasn't weak, but Zhang Tiekuang was stronger. He wasn't Zhang Tiekuang's match.
Even so, Yu Haoran didn't plan on admitting defeat.
"I'll only use one move. If you can take it, you win," Yu Haoran said in a clear voice.
Zhang Tiekuang sneered. Any smart person could see what Yu Haoran was thinking. He was afraid of being injured by Zhang Tiekuang, so he proposed to use one move. If he couldn't defeat Zhang Tiekuang in one move, then he would lose and leave the stage safely. If he was lucky enough to win, then that would be even better.
After Yu Haoran finished speaking, he immediately mobilized his True Qi. A faint aura rose, and a tyrannical aura spread out.
He held his sword with both hands and instantly unsheathed it. A majestic sword light shot out like a bolt of lightning.
This was Yu Haoran's most powerful move.
The moment Yu Haoran unsheathed his sword, Zhang Tiekuang also unsheathed his saber. He raised his saber high and a faint tiger's roar could be heard. It was like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain.
With a bang, Yu Haoran's majestic sword light was shattered. His sword flew out of his hand and his hand split open. His entire body flew out while coughing up blood.
"You …" Standing up, Yu Haoran covered his chest with one hand and angrily pointed at Zhang Tiekuang with the other.
"When did I promise you that?" Zhang Tiekuang sneered, making Yu Haoran choke and leave the stage.
Zhang Tiekuang won and replaced Yu Haoran.
There were changes in the top ten.
First place, Yang Chaofan.
Second place, Ye Xijun.
Third place, Chen Zong.
Fourth place, Huang Tianqi.
Fifth place, Zhang Tiekuang.
Sixth place, Liu Zhenji.
Seventh place, Yuanlong.
Eighth place, Tan Lie.
Ninth place, Xu Mu.
Tenth place, Yin Chong.
"This elder congratulates you for entering the top ten, and also for entering the finals." The Inner Sect Elder laughed. He felt that this year's Outer Sect Grand Competition had brought him some surprises. Not bad. "In the final round, everyone has three chances to challenge, and they can give up. The final ranking after the competition will be the final ranking of the Outer Sect Grand Competition."
"Now, this elder announces the start of the finals. Challenges will start from the tenth place."
The tenth place was Yin Chong.
Yin Chong's eyes were cold. His mind raced as he analyzed everyone's strength and probability of victory. In the end, he chose Xu Mu.
"I give up." Xu Mu was very direct. Yin Chong's strength was indeed not something he could compete with. Plus, he had not completely recovered his Zhen Qi from the battle with Xu Ling.
Yin Chong replaced Xu Mu and entered the ninth place. The second challenger was Xu Mu.
"I give up." Xu Mu was a very straightforward person. He was very open-minded. The other nine people in the top ten were all very strong. There was an 80% to 90% chance that he wouldn't be a match for them. In addition, he had already achieved his goal and maintained his ranking.
The third challenger was Tan Lie.
"Liu Zhenji." Tan Lie said. He had been challenged by Liu Zhenji before and was defeated. Now, he wanted to see if he could turn the tables.
As soon as he attacked, Tan Lie used his Storm Leg Art. His legs rolled up a shocking wind and continuously attacked Liu Zhenji.
Liu Zhenji held his sword in his hand and a green light flashed.
While attacking, Tan Lie also changed his style. He used his speed to circle around Liu Zhenji and attacked from all directions.
Tan Lie's method indeed brought some trouble to Liu Zhenji.
In the end, Liu Zhenji was hit by Tan Lie's kick. He was immediately suppressed and lost the ability to resist.
Tan Lie won, and Liu Zhenji lost.
The two were at the same level, so it was hard to tell who would win.
The fourth battle was started by Duan Long.
"Yang Chaofan." Duan Long was very direct.
Up until now, Yang Chaofan had not been challenged. Everyone was watching with their eyes wide open.
Yang Chaofan had been the number one outer sect disciple for two years. During that time, he had been challenged no less than ten times. Rumors said that he was born extraordinary, but no one knew what was so special about him.
Facing Yang Chaofan, Duan Long did not underestimate him. He slowly pulled out his blood red longsword. His aura continued to increase, and the blood red evil qi continued to condense. The coldness spread out from his body.
Dan Yuanlong's eyes became colder and colder. On the other hand, Yang Chaofan had his hands behind his back. That kind of calmness made everyone who saw him calm down.
With a swoosh, Duan Long pulled out his sword. The blade could not be seen, only a blood red sword light pierced through the air. It was like a red thunderbolt. Its speed was shocking, and its power was unparalleled.
Kill!
A shocking evil qi swept out and rushed towards Yang Chaofan.
"So fast!"
"So powerful!"
All of them were shocked. Duan Long's sword attack was clearly stronger than before.
