In King Li's Palace, countless people stared at the battlefield, watching the battle between the two. It was exceptionally quiet.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the battlefield.
"So strong." Many people were amazed. At this point, the battle was almost at the pinnacle level, and the remaining cultivators were all shockingly strong.
One person stepped into the void in the battlefield, and his palm print contained the might of the great path, crushing the void and constantly blasting down. Soon, his opponent could not hold on and was sent flying.
"18 consecutive victories."
Many people were amazed at this scene.
On the battle platform, a slender young man wearing a gorgeous golden robe stood proudly in the air, his eyes full of arrogance.
This young man had been fighting without rest for 18 consecutive victories. No one was a match for him, and he was extremely confident.
Moreover, top forces of the Upper Worlds had already sent him invitations.
This person was Qin Cang of Shangqin County.
Finally, Qin Cang turned around and flashed back to the stands of Shangqin County. Many people breathed a sigh of relief. With him there, many people could not show their strength at all, and would probably only be suppressed.
If nothing else, Qin Cang should be one of the strongest people in Dali below the Saint Plane.
"Amazing." Even King Li praised at this moment, and many people nodded. Qin Cang was indeed very strong, having comprehended a bit of the will of the great path. Both the Void Steps and the Void Seal were extremely powerful, and few could rival him.
His 18 consecutive victories silenced the vast and endless stands of King Li's Palace.
"How is it?" At this moment, the Sword Saint of Fierce Wind, who had not spoken for a long time, asked Ye Futian.
He knew that Ye Futian had comprehended the will of the great path. Now, there was someone who could be his opponent, right?
"Barely," Ye Futian said calmly. He had also seen Qin Cang's battle. This was the first cultivator who had shown a sliver of the will of the great path so far.
Such a cultivator would probably be hard to find in the Lower Worlds of Dali.
After all, this was very close to the Saint Plane.
To be able to comprehend the will of the great path on his own was equivalent to having half a foot in the Saint Plane.
The Sword Saint of Fierce Wind smiled. Even someone as strong as Qin Cang only got the word "barely" from Ye Futian.
Then how strong must the cultivator in his eyes be?
At this moment, another person walked onto the stage. Instantly, the crowd exclaimed in surprise. Obviously, many people knew who this person was.
"Zuo Zhengdao of Dongyang County," someone said. Zuo Zhengdao of Dongyang County was an extremely renowned figure in Dongyang.
"Is he famous?" someone asked curiously. It was impossible for everyone in the Nine Counties of Dali to know Zuo Zhengdao.
"He's known as the number one person below Saint Plane in Dongyang County." Some wore solemn expressions. Zuo Zhengdao stepped onto the platform after Qin Cang went down, intending to fight Qin Cang from afar.
There might be a battle between these two great experts in the end.
The mighty ones were rather hesitant when they saw how renowned Zuo Zhengdao was. However, a mighty one from the County of Nanyue stepped onto the battle platform soon after. His eyes were spirited as he stared at Zuo Zhengdao. It was precisely because Zuo Zhengdao was so powerful that his reputation was extremely high. If he were to defeat Zuo Zhengdao, it would have made him look even more exceptional.
"Boom." That mighty one from the County of Nanyue stepped out and the air shook. Boundless and heavy pressure came crashing down on Zuo Zhengdao, yet he simply stood there calmly and stared at his opponent.
That mighty one from Nanyue continued to step out. Every step he took seemed to be stomping on the hearts of many, imbued with extremely overbearing pressure of rules.
"That man is very powerful," many thought. That one from the County of Nanyue was no weakling at all.
The ones from the County of Nanyue knew who that person was. He was an extremely renowned figure.
With each step he took, the mighty one from the County of Nanyue arrived above Zuo Zhengdao. He was like a deity, domineering beyond compare. He raised his palm and slammed down below, suppressing the mountains and rivers.
At that moment, Zuo Zhengdao's body burst with dazzling light all of a sudden. Golden divine fire burst and he bathed in it, looking like an unparalleled god of war. Seeing his opponent coming at him, he simply raised his hand and pointed at the air. His finger was able to tear the sky apart in an instant.
The palm print crumbled in an instant, and the rules ceased to exist. The might of that one finger burst with extremely dazzling light and continued to charge upwards, heading for his opponent's body. His opponent lashed out with both hands in a frenzy. However, Zuo Zhengdao's figure appeared in an instant at the very next moment. He pointed his finger forward again, and his surroundings melted in an instant. His opponent was shrouded in divine light, and he looked horrified.
"I surrender!" he shouted, feeling as if he was about to be destroyed right there and then.
His body was sent flying with a loud rumble. His clothes were torn to shreds, and blood was seen at the corner of his mouth. His hands were still trembling slightly.
"Will of the great path."
Many saints on the spectator stands thought. Zuo Zhengdao's powers were able to compete with Qin Cang from before.
The mighty ones from the Nine Counties on the spectator stands all felt pressured.
In the battles that followed, Zuo Zhengdao went on to win all of them. No one was able to compete with him. Just like Qin Cang, he also won 18 consecutive victories before moving on.
"Who in the County of Yan would be able to contend with them?" The County King of Yan asked softly. Those two were very powerful. As the County King of Yan, it was only natural for him to hope that the County of Yan would have someone like that.
A figure stood up and walked towards the platform. It was Li Hanxing of the Ziwei Sword Sect.
Many mighty ones from holy lands in the County of Yan looked puzzled. The County King of Yan then asked, "Did Li Hanxing comprehend the way?"
"Your Highness, you will know once you continue watching." The Sword Saint of Ziwei replied with a smile. Immediately, the expressions of the other Sword Saints froze. Since the Sword Saint of Ziwei said this, then Li Hanxing might have comprehended the will of the Great Path.
The battle that followed was just as they had predicted. Li Hanxing released a shocking sword intent, and no one could withstand a single strike from his sword.
For three consecutive battles, three existences of this level had appeared, pushing the atmosphere of this grand occasion to its peak.
"What do you think of this?" Huanxue asked Ye Futian, which was rare for her. Ye Futian had looked down on the swordsmen of the County of Yan before.
However, Li Hanxing of the Ziwei Sword Sect had comprehended the will of the great path, yet he had kept a low profile and kept his edge to himself. Ye Futian, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. He was an anomaly.
She wondered if he would feel ashamed at that moment.
"Nothing," Ye Futian replied. Huanxue took a look at him. It seemed that she would not be able to get him to admit anything.
She would have liked to see how he would have entered the arena.
Li Hanxing returned to the seats of the Ziwei Sword Sect. The County King of Yan smiled and said, "It seems that Li Hanxing is the number one swordsman of the County of Yan below the Saint Plane."
Many nodded. Li Hanxing had comprehended the will of the great path, and his swordsmanship was superb. Even the County King of Yan acknowledged him, which meant that the two princesses were no match for Li Hanxing.
Every battle that followed was thrilling. Even though there were no top-notch figures who had comprehended the will of the great path, all of them were extremely powerful, and every battle was a showdown between the strong.
Many knew their place as the battles went on. Those who were not powerful enough dared not step onto the platform, and it was the same even for cultivators from holy lands.
Nie Yun of the Sword Clan of the Gale stepped onto the battlefield as well, but he was defeated in a battle, losing to a top-notch figure from the County of Xichu.
There were no newcomers from holy lands fighting after that, and those who had never been defeated began to fight against the strong. Other than fighting for a chance to train in the Upper Worlds, they also wanted to hone their martial arts will.
Chi Xiao and Chi Yao of the Crimson Phoenix Sword Clan were defeated one after another.
Kai Huang of the Juque Sword Clan was defeated as well.
As the battles continued, Li Hanxing was the only one who had not been defeated among the swordsmen of the County of Yan.
The two princesses were defeated by the most powerful figures of the County of Changhe. However, Li Hanxing went onto the battlefield himself and avenged the princesses, defeating them. His actions earned him some favor among the swordsmen of the County of Yan.
At that moment, the only hope for the swordsmen of the County of Yan was Li Hanxing.
"Spectacular." King Li called out at that moment as well. There were almost no one who stepped onto the platform at that moment. Zuo Zhengdao stood on the platform at that moment, and it seemed that no one dared to challenge him.
Li Hanxing finally stood up in the direction of the County of Yan. He moved with his sword and stepped onto the platform, standing opposite Zuo Zhengdao.
A loud roar was heard from Emperor Li's Palace at that moment.
Is the battle of the pinnacle about to begin?
Lu Chuan and the other top-notch figures from the Upper Worlds looked at the battlefield seriously, feeling rather expectant.
"Who do you think will win this battle, sir?" Princess Li You smiled and asked Lu Chuan, who was beside her.
"Zuo Zhengdao has a higher chance of winning. But then again, Li Hanxing has a chance as well," Lu Chuan replied.
"Li Hanxing's talents are exceptional. He will definitely be able to take his way of the sword to the next level when he trains in the Sword Mountain of the Upper Worlds." Li You smiled gently.
The battle had already broken out on the platform.
Zuo Zhengdao was bathed in divine light, looking like a golden divine furnace, indestructible and unstoppable. His finger techniques were like swords.
Li Hanxing's Sword Will of Crepe Myrtle was like stars, and every single sword will was imbued with incredible offensive power. Both of them fought from the platform to the air. Raging currents swept all over the place. King Li's Palace was silent. Everyone was watching the battle of the pinnacle.
Both of them attacked each other and exchanged countless blows in an instant. A loud rumble was heard and Li Hanxing's sword was broken. He was sent flying and spat up blood.
Zuo Zhengdao's clothes were torn at the same time.
It was apparent that Li Hanxing lost.
The people of the County of Yan watched the battle and sighed. Li Hanxing's way of the sword was superb, yet he was still unable to win against Zuo Zhengdao. He walked off the platform dejectedly.
Qin Cang got onto the platform afterward and asked Zuo Zhengdao if he wanted to rest. Zuo Zhengdao said that he would continue the battle.
When the battle broke out, the vast palace was silent. Everyone stared at the two figures in the air, as if they had even stopped breathing.
"A battle of the pinnacle below Saint Plane," even the County King of Yan praised.
King Li's Palace summoned mighty ones from all over the world to gather there. Mighty ones from the Upper Worlds descended. That battle was a battle of the pinnacle.
Qin Cang defeated Zuo Zhengdao in the end, proving that he was the one without equal below Saint Plane in Dali.
Countless eyes looked at both of them with respect. While Zuo Zhengdao was defeated, he was still proud.
Qin Cang remained standing after Zuo Zhengdao walked off the platform, but no one else stepped onto the platform.
King Li himself asked, "Is there anyone else from Dali who would like to fight?"
No one answered. Who would be able to fight Qin Cang at his pinnacle?
"Are you still not going to draw your sword?" The Sword Saint of Fierce Wind asked Ye Futian in a low voice. Many from the County of Yan took a look at Ye Futian and paid him no mind. His words were extremely arrogant, but he probably would not have the guts to fight after witnessing a battle of the pinnacle.
Ye Futian took a look at Qin Cang and smiled, shaking his head slightly. He then took a sip of his wine.
"I'm afraid no one will challenge Qin Cang after this battle. If you're still not going to draw your sword, you won't have another chance. Regardless of whether you win or lose, you need to at least let those from the Upper Worlds see your sword," the Sword Saint of Fierce Wind said again. Even those from the holy lands of the County of Yan looked at the Sword Saint of Fierce Wind with surprise.
He seemed to have faith in the Seventh Swordsman.
Ye Futian put his wine cup down and looked at the platform with cold eyes. He said, "None of the cultivators of the Nine Counties of Dali are worthy of me drawing my sword. So be it!"
