After returning to White Emperor City, the news of Dragon the Fifth's victory spread, and Mount Shu was in an uproar.
But only a few people knew that Dragon the Fifth was seriously injured and in a coma, and had no strength to fight anymore.
Li Shan, one of the seven branches of Mount Shu, belonged to the medical sect. The successor of Li Shan, surnamed Li Nianhao, was a man less than 30 years old. He was proficient in the art of Qi Huang. He rushed to treat Dragon the Fifth as soon as possible. With the help of other experts in the Void-breaking Realm, he barely suppressed the power of Sunset in Dragon the Fifth's body. His injury stopped worsening, but it would take a lot of effort to recover.
In the end, at Li Nianhao's suggestion, Dragon the Fifth was sent to a Green Lotus Pool and immersed in the Green Lotus Spiritual Liquid, using the nourishing power of the Spiritual Liquid to slowly recover.
After that, everyone came to the Green Lotus Pool where Li Mu was.
The silver Taoist figures were flowing, and the cyan tactical deployment was still there.
Inside, the Spiritual Liquid was steaming and white, and no movement could be seen. No one knew what Li Mu had encountered in it.
As for the process of ascending the dragon, there were only occasional mentions of it in the secret books of Mount Shu. Even the heads of the major branches did not know the specific inside story, so there was no way to speculate what was happening inside the cyan formation.
The Pyrrhic victory in the first battle and Dragon the Fifth's serious injury cast a shadow over the heads of the branches.
Dragon the Fifth was already one of the top powerhouses among the Sect Leaders of the various branches. Otherwise, the Dragon King Ridge would not have fought in White Emperor City all year round. However, even someone as strong as Dragon the Fifth had only won a Pyrrhic victory in the first battle. No one was confident about the results of the next 10 arena battles.
In particular, the nine major sects of the Decent Alliance had nine experts in the Void-breaking Realm or comparable to the experts in the Void-breaking Realm, while Mount Shu was seriously short of high-end combat power. Duan Shuiliu, who could cut down experts in the Void-breaking Realm as easily as chopping vegetables, had accidentally entered the Green Lotus Pool to 'rise to the dragon'. He might not be able to fight in time.
According to today's situation, the situation was extremely unfavorable for Mount Shu.
In the end, it was very likely that the heads of the branches would either die or be seriously injured, and the high-end combat power of the Divine Sect would wither. Even if they could survive this battle, they might not be able to recover in the future.
And behind the nine major sects stood the extraterrestrial immortal sects.
His chances of winning were slim.
"Oh right, where's Traceless?"
The old lady of the Moon Dao Sect looked around but didn't see her granddaughter. Feeling strange, she asked about it. However, the people around didn't know that they hadn't seen Ye Wuhen for half a day.
That was strange.
However, she did not think too much about it.
The situation was grim in front of the enemy.
The leaders and successors of the major branches, as well as the high-level officials of the Divine Sect, went to the Fairy Palace. They not only had to discuss the candidates for tomorrow's battle, but they also had to guess who the opponent might send to fight. They had to try their best to restrain the opponent's Cultivation Methods in order to increase their chances of winning.
A tense atmosphere pervaded White Emperor City.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day.
On the floating arena, the battle began again.
The representative of Mount Shu was Wu Ming, the first Knife Servant of the Moon Dao Sect.
He was a hidden pawn of Mount Shu. The outside world knew that there was only one expert in the Void-breaking Realm in the Moon Dao Sect, and that was Ye Hen, the old lady of the Moon Dao Sect. But in fact, there was a Knife Servant beside the old lady of the Moon Dao Sect, who was also an expert in the Void-breaking Realm. His broadsword-using methods were unparalleled, and his combat capability was formidable.
As for the expert of the nine major sects, it was Dongfang Qing, the Ancient Sword, the head of the Eastern Mountain Sword Sect. He was an expert in the Void-breaking Realm who had never fought with Li Mu, so he was not injured and his strength was not weakened. He was in his peak state.
Obviously, after the fiasco on the first day, the nine major sects chose to send Dongfang Qing, the Ancient Sword, because they hoped that they could quickly win a big victory to boost their morale.
However, the appearance of Wu Ming, the Knife Servant, was obviously not expected by the nine major sects.
After a hard battle, in the end, this little-known Knife Servant of the Moon Dao Sect burst out with unparalleled power. With unparalleled broadsword momentum, he cut off one of the arms of the Ancient Sword Dongfang Qing and won another round for Mount Shu.
"You … you are Mo Han, the First Broadsword of Wind and Cloud on the Bitter Star ninety years ago. You … you actually joined the Devil Cult?" Dongfang Qing stroked his broken arm. After a hard battle, he finally recognized the real identity of this Knife Servant, Wu Ming. He was extremely shocked.
Mo Han, the First Broadsword of Wind and Cloud!
Ninety years ago, this was a name that had attracted the attention of the martial arts world on the Bitter Star.
He was not from the nine major sects, but his broadsword-using methods were superb and had never met a match. He was regarded as the strongest broadsword-using master in history. As a rogue cultivator, he defeated many experts of the nine major sects and ranked first in the world in broadsword-using methods. It could be seen that Mo Han's aptitude and talent were strong.
It was a pity that later, when this broadsword-using master was at the height of his fame, he suddenly disappeared from Jianghu without warning. Some said that he was hunted down by his enemies, some said that he had broken the void and left the Bitter Star, and some said that he was cultivating in seclusion. There were all kinds of rumors, but none of them had been confirmed.
Unexpectedly, when he reappeared today, he had turned out to be Wu Ming, the Knife Servant of the Moon Dao Sect of the Devil Cult.
"Mo Han is dead. Now, there is only a small Knife Servant left." Wu Ming was tall and slender. He was wearing a white mask, revealing only his eyes and mouth. His eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and he said calmly.
"It's really you. Humph, I've seen your broadsword-using methods … I didn't expect that the former First Broadsword of Wind and Cloud would abandon himself …" Dongfang Qing, the Ancient Sword, accused him angrily.
At this time, he had already landed outside the floating fighting ring, which meant that he had admitted defeat.
"It's all thanks to the nine major sects." Wu Ming said lightly, "If Sword Master Dongfang is not convinced, you can come to the ring and fight again. I can give you another chance."
Dongfang Qing looked embarrassed. In the end, he did not go to the ring to fight again.
He had lost an arm, so he was no match for Wu Ming, the Knife Servant.
This great battle came to an end just like that.
Mount Shu won another round.
As the sun set, there was a celebratory and relaxed atmosphere in White Emperor City.
Today's battle could be said to be a complete victory.
The sudden appearance and rise of the Sword Servant John Doe gave the Mount Shu Sect a boost of confidence. Many low-level disciples realized that there were really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Divine Sect. There was such an unknown top-level powerhouse, and their future was promising.
"Let me fight again tomorrow." In the Fairy Hall, Wu Ming, the Knife Servant, took the initiative to make a request, which was rare.
Everyone was greatly surprised.
"Why don't you rest for a day or two?" Ouyang Huanyu, the head of the Sky-reaching Pavilion, suggested tentatively.
Wu Ming, the Knife Servant, was very strong. As long as he maintained his peak state, he was strong enough to deal with any expert in the Void-breaking Realm of the nine major sects. However, if he fought continuously, he might be defeated because of excessive consumption, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
Wu Ming shook his head and said, "No need to rest."
Ye Hen, the old lady of the Moon Dao Sect, glanced at Wu Ming with a complicated expression. Finally, she nodded and said, "Well, tomorrow, you will fight again."
Just like that, this matter was settled.
After the discussion, the crowd went to the Green Lotus Pool where Li Mu was, but they still couldn't find any obvious signs. The Spiritual Liquid was filled with mist, and the movement was unknown.
Although they had won today, there was still a long way to go.
If Duan Shuiliu could complete the journey of "Rising Dragon" tomorrow, Mount Shu's chances of winning would be really enhanced.
…
…
"That little thief hasn't shown up yet?"
The girl in the black gauze dress hid alone in the dark hall, thinking hard. After two consecutive days of battles, she hadn't seen Li Mu show up. This made her more and more convinced that Li Mu must be hiding behind the scenes, secretly planning and manipulating something.
"I have to find a way to force him out."
The girl in the black gauze dress muttered to herself.
A moment later, Tan Rushuang, the Top Sword of West Sea, the head of the West Sea Sword Sect, was summoned into the hall.
"Tomorrow, you will fight."
The girl in the black gauze dress said in an indisputable tone.
Tan Rushuang was stunned.
The nine major sects had already discussed and made a decision. The person who would fight tomorrow was Lu Tianhua, the lord of Central Heaven City. At that time, the girl in black also agreed. But why did she suddenly change her mind without warning?
"Yes."
Tan Rushuang was puzzled, but he didn't dare to object or question it.
The girl in the black gauze dress was obviously very satisfied with Tan Rushuang's attitude.
She unfolded her palm, and a scarlet pill appeared.
The pill was the size of a longan, crystal clear. There seemed to be dense Taoist figures flashing inside, flowing with the mysterious power of Taoist rules.
The girl in the black gauze dress said, "This Red Jade Fate-shifting Pill is a secret magic elixir of our Black Killing Tower. After taking it and refining it, it can stimulate the potential in your body for three days and double your strength. If you refine it, even if you meet an opponent at the beginning stage of the Mortal Realm tomorrow, you can still defeat him."
Tan Rushuang was overjoyed. He quickly took the pill with both hands and said, "Fairy, thank you for giving me the pill … But, fairy, what will happen after taking the Red Jade Fate-shifting Pill for three days?"
The girl in the black gauze dress said, "Three days later, you will lose your strength for a short time. With your cultivation, it will take you at most ten days and ten nights to recover. There won't be any other sequelae. You can rest assured. This is also your good fortune. Because the Red Jade Fate-shifting Pill contains the Taoist rules from outer space, which will plant a seed in your body. In the future, when you ascend to the universe and step into the world of cultivators, you will be able to adapt earlier and faster than others."
Hearing that, Tan Rushuang was completely relieved.
"Remember, in tomorrow's battle, you must not only win, but also severely suppress the morale of the Devil Cult. Let the candidate of the Devil Cult suffer all kinds of torture and die. Only in this way can the shadow of the previous two battles be swept away. Do you understand?"
The girl in the black gauze dress said gloomily.
"I see." Qin Rushuang bowed again and retreated.
…
…
At the edge of a Green Lotus Pond, the mist of spiritual liquid pervaded the air.
The others had all retreated. Only the old lady of the Moon Dao Sect and Wu Ming, the Knife Servant, were standing by the pond. The two of them were one body away from each other, facing the lotus pond. In the spiritual mist, they stood there quietly. Their breathing could be heard.
After standing there for a long time, Ye Hen, the old lady of the Moon Dao Sect, said, "You can go. Don't get involved in this mess anymore. How many rounds can a person and a broadsword fight last? You are not a member of the Divine Sect. Over the years, you have done too much for me. "
