The elimination of the Virgin of the Mortal World moved many people. However, she could still enter the Core Island of the Holy Zhi Palace to cultivate, but she refused to become Sage Daozang's disciple.
"Next battle." A voice came from the sky stairwell. A beautiful figure walked out from the edge of the battlefield, attracting everyone's attention.
Her appearance was so outstanding, like a goddess. She came to the center of the battlefield.
"I challenge Chu Shang of the Mortal World." Her voice was calm, but everyone's eyes wavered.
Hua Jieyu challenged Chu Shang of the Mortal World.
Not long ago, the Virgin of the Mortal World, Bing Yi, had said that Ye Futian didn't deserve to stay on the battlefield and lost. Now, Hua Jieyu came out and challenged the only disciple left on the battlefield.
Bing Yi, who had left the battlefield, trembled slightly. She looked at Hua Jieyu. Hua Jieyu was so dazzling. Before this, she had thought that she would be the same and be the center of attention. However, now, she could only stand outside the battlefield and watch everything.
"This girl." Ye Futian smiled bitterly when he saw Hua Jieyu walk out. He felt like he was being protected by a woman.
The fox was helping him vent his anger.
Chu Shang walked out and looked at Hua Jieyu. She was also very beautiful, but standing in front of Hua Jieyu, she seemed to be a foil.
Before, Bing Yi had asked her to challenge one of Ye Futian's group. Now, both she and Bing Yi had gotten what they wanted. However, the result didn't seem to be what they had imagined.
When Hua Jieyu released her Life Spirit and the rainbow crown appeared, a strange aura seemed to be born on the vast battlefield. It was Hua Jieyu's spiritual aura. Chu Shang felt that the Spiritual Qi in the sky was not under her control. She wanted to cast spells, but it seemed like she could be interrupted at any time.
Divine Spiritual Sorcerers countered all sorcerers.
Therefore, even though Hua Jieyu's plane was lower and Chu Shang wasn't weak, Hua Jieyu still won in the end.
Chu Shang of the Mortal World was eliminated. She was countered and didn't show her full strength, so she wasn't chosen by the big shots.
From then on, all the cultivators of the Mortal World left the stage.
When Chu Shang left, she looked a little down and out. Once, the top forces of the Barren State had come to the Eastern Barren Territory and called the College a low-class clan. They had been so arrogant that even she had looked down on the College. Now, the people from the College had all become so outstanding. They had even expelled her and Bing Yi.
After this battle, Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu would both advance to the top 40. This pair of lovers, who were not favored by many, would advance hand in hand.
Furthermore, there were quite a few of them who remained on the battlefield. Yuan Zhan and Yi Xiaoshi had a high chance of making it to the next round.
The battle continued, and another green-clothed figure walked out. His face was like jade, and his figure was tall and slender. He stood with his hands behind his back, and he stood out from the crowd.
His face looked harmless, but everyone on the battlefield knew how dangerous he was.
Those from the Tingxue House had always been the most dangerous figures in the Barren State. Xu Que, the green-robed swordsman, was the heir of the Tingxue House Master, who was ranked ninth on the Barren Sky Ranking. He was considered to be one of the most powerful figures in the battlefield. The moment he stepped out, many were worried that Xu Que would pick them as his opponent.
No one, not even top-notch geniuses, was willing to face Xu Que in advance.
Xu Que looked at Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu, then at Ye Wuchen, Yu Sheng, and the others. His green robes fluttered, and his hair was as black as ink. Finally, his eyes locked onto Ye Wuchen and he said, "Since you're a swordsman, I'll let you be my opponent."
Xu Que challenged Ye Wuchen.
Ye Futian's eyes narrowed. Wuchen was in danger in this battle, and he was almost eliminated.
Xu Que gave him a sense of calmness and danger. He did not understand why he would choose Ye Wuchen as his opponent. While they were both swordsmen, defeating Ye Wuchen did not mean much to him.
In truth, Xu Que's thinking was very simple. There were so many people on the battlefield, and it was only a matter of time before the number was reduced. It did not matter who he challenged, but he did not like fighting in groups.
At the moment, Ye Futian's group was the only one left on the battlefield, and he felt uncomfortable looking at it. The people of the Tingxue House were lone wolves. Be it their own people or their opponents, they hated groups.
Ye Futian's group had too many people, and it was only natural that some of them would be eliminated.
As for choosing Ye Wuchen, he felt that he and Yan Jiu were enough for the swordsmen on the battlefield. There was no need for Ye Wuchen to stay on the battlefield.
Ye Wuchen's expression was solemn as he walked towards the battlefield step by step. He knew that this victory was not a big one, but since he was standing here, he had to give it his all.
Xu Que unsheathed his sword with one hand behind his back. It was a very ordinary sword, and it was not a ritual implement that he relied on. His other hand was still behind his back. While he did not say anything, his intention was obvious. Ye Wuchen only had one arm, and he would fight with one hand as well.
"Make your move, or you will not have a chance," Xu Que said calmly.
Ye Wuchen stepped out, and sword aura whistled. Flashes of swords appeared all over the sky, and every sword seemed to be independent, but also seemed to have become a whole. Thousands of flashes of swords shot out at the same time, accompanied by Ye Wuchen's unsheathed sword.
The whole world was filled with sharp swords, clanging and clanging. Each of the sharp swords seemed to contain terrifying killing power as they charged toward Xu Que.
However, at that moment, Xu Que moved. He did not dodge, nor did he defend. Instead, he stepped forward.
The swordsmen of Tingxue House were good at attacking, and they almost did not defend. Their swords were swords that killed.
Xu Que rushed straight into the attack range of the endless flashes of swords. No one would choose to fight like this, but Xu Que did. When the endless flashes of swords came, his wrist shook, and he swung his sword. It was hard for the crowd to see his movements clearly, but in an instant, it seemed as if he had swung his sword a hundred times. Sword aura shot out in front of him, destroying all the incoming flashes of swords.
At the same time, his body also moved forward, like a flickering shadow. With a sword in hand, it seemed as if no attack could touch his body.
"What a fast sword! What a fast movement technique!" Everyone's hearts trembled. Xu Que's body was like a phantom, shuttling through the thousands of flashes of swords. Every time he appeared in a position, there would be sword aura there, and he quickly approached Ye Wuchen.
Terrible flashes of swords were swallowed up from Ye Wuchen's brow, and an extremely brilliant flash of swords bloomed in his eyes. He looked at Xu Que, and in the next moment, the whistling sound of the air breaking became even sharper, and one sharp sword after another shot through the air. Xu Que did not hesitate to swing his sword, but he found that he hit nothing but air. The swords continued towards him, aiming for his brow.
"Illusory Sword." Xu Que was facing the incoming swords, and a thought appeared in his mind. His body moved horizontally, leaving behind an afterimage, and the sword stabbed into the afterimage's brow. The afterimage shattered, but Xu Que was already next to it.
More illusory swords shot towards Xu Que, and he knew that the trajectories of these swords were all illusory, with hidden killing intent.
A strange look flashed in Xu Que's eyes, but he did not dodge. Suddenly, thousands of murderous sword will bloomed from his body, and his sword stabbed straight forward. Suddenly, the murderous sword will broke through everything, whether it was real or illusory, and all were destroyed.
The cold light of the sword went straight for Ye Wuchen, as fast as lightning.
The plane crushed him.
Ye Wuchen's brow shone brightly, and the sword will filled the sky. A small silver sword bloomed, making a clanging sound, and in an instant, endless sword aura gathered between heaven and earth. When the small silver sword swallowed up the light of the sword, endless sword aura gathered into one, falling down in a frenzy, as if it was about to turn into an extremely strong sword will, and thousands of swords became one.
An incomparably bright light burst out, but at the same time, the endless sword aura also gathered into one, turning into an extreme sword of killing.
The two swords collided, and an extreme sword aura was born between heaven and earth, tearing everything apart. The small silver sword between Ye Wuchen's brow swallowed up and spat out an extreme sword will, piercing through the other's sword of killing, and a sword light pierced Xu Que's brow behind the sword.
"How dare you." A terrible sword light flashed in Xu Que's eyes, and a wisp of cyan sword light flashed between his brow, directly shattering the sword will. Then he slapped out with his palm, and the sword of killing in his hand hit the sword will in front of him, passing through it. At that moment, Ye Wuchen seemed to feel thousands of murderous sword will pass through his body. The next moment, the small silver sword flew back between his brow, and he quickly retreated. The endless light of killing chased him for a while, and then floated in the air, clanging.
Xu Que waved his hand, and the sword will dissipated.
"Your strength is not bad, but if we met on the battlefield, you would already be dead." Xu Que glanced at Ye Wuchen, then turned and left.
Ye Wuchen did not doubt Xu Que's words. With his plane, he could not even force Xu Que to use his strongest power. The difference was not small.
Countless eyes fell on Ye Wuchen. He was already outstanding enough, but it was a pity that he was facing Xu Que, one of the top figures in this battlefield. It was already very rare for him to be able to fight with a difference of two planes, but the difference in plane could not be made up, and he still could not go on.
Ye Wuchen turned and walked down. Although he had lost, he was not too affected. Doing his best was enough, and he did not ask for too much.
Back then, he had walked step by step from the Cangye Kingdom to where he was today. It had long exceeded his imagination, and Emperor Ye was only at his current plane. Of course, this did not mean that he was satisfied. He would continue to pursue the swordsmanship in his heart.
"Ye Wuchen." A voice called out. Ye Wuchen stopped and looked up in the direction of the Holy Zhi Palace.
"Are you willing to become my disciple?" the figure asked. Many people's hearts beat faster. The Sword Demon wanted to take him as a disciple.
"I also once had a master," Ye Wuchen said.
"Those who teach are all masters. If you are willing, you can call me master. If not, I won't force you," the Sword Demon said.
Ye Wuchen looked at the Sword Demon, then bowed and said, "I am willing to become your disciple."
"Yes." The Sword Demon smiled and nodded. To be able to face Xu Que, a grade seven noble, and fight calmly without fear, as a grade nine noble, he had the bearing of a swordsman. Although he had lost, his attainments in swordsmanship were not bad. He had cultivated a sword body and even had a pair of sword eyes.
Many people looked at Ye Wuchen with envy. He had also become the Sword Demon's disciple. At this stage, even if he lost, it was not necessarily a shame. It depended on how he lost. Although Ye Wuchen had lost, he had realized the dream of countless swordsmen.
Now, the Sword Demon had taken in two disciples.
Ye Futian was also happy for Ye Wuchen. The Sword Demon's bearing was extraordinary, and he was a top figure in the Holy Zhi Palace. He was a cultivator on the Barren Sky Ranking, and one of the representatives of swordsmen in the Barren State. It was naturally the best choice for Ye Wuchen to cultivate with him.
