Pointing the Sword at Chu Xingyun
Qi Yuzhen had lost and was gravely injured. Most of his ribs had been broken, and if the cut had been an inch deeper, his heart would've shattered and he would've died on the spot.
Chu Xingyun's blow could've killed him, but this was the Heavenly Sword Trials and no killing was allowed.
When Qi Yuzhen was being carried down, Qi Yangchen stared at Chu Xingyun like a ferocious beast, killing intent raging in his eyes. Chang Chixiao, Qin Qiumo, and the others had cold, dark gazes that emanated a dense killing intent.
As for the surrounding crowd, they all looked at them with respectful gazes.
The scene just now had given them too much shock, and they would never forget it.
In the top eight, Chu Xingyun had privately instructed Xia Qingcheng and helped her defeat Qin Xiu to advance to the top four.
This demonstrated his vast knowledge and experience. With a bit of guidance, he could stimulate the potential of others and greatly increase their strength.
In the top four, Chu Xingyun had faced off against Qi Yuzhen. He'd broken through the sky with one blow and won the final victory, ascending to the championship.
This demonstrated his terrifying strength. Even if his opponent's level of training was far above his, he'd still be able to win.
Such a person was too rare even in the Wanjian Pavilion, where geniuses abounded. His potential and strength were excellent, and could be said to be perfect.
More importantly, he was only seventeen and was still very young. No one could predict what level he'd grow to in a few more years.
"Qi Yuzhen was one of the favorites to win the championship of the Heavenly Sword Trials. Now that he's lost to Luo Yun, and in a rather embarrassing manner, Luo Yun has replaced him as the favorite to win the championship."
"The second battle, Xia Qingcheng against Lu Xing. The winner will fight against Luo Yun, and the winner will become the champion of the Heavenly Sword Assembly. Judging from the strength of those two, they won't be able to defeat Luo Yun."
"Entering the championship battle with an earth spirit realm cultivation, and as the Sword Head at that. Such a thing has never happened since the establishment of the Wanjian Pavilion. Luo Yun is a monster amongst monsters!"
Chaotic discussions rang out as the crowd of Outer Court disciples recovered from their shock. They were all convinced by Chu Xingyun's strength, and many of them were even filled with admiration for Chu Xingyun in their hearts.
At this moment, Chu Xingyun had already walked down from the ring. His expression remained calm.
Below him, Yun Changqing and the others had already stood up and nodded at him.
In the battle just now, Chu Xingyun's performance was perfect. They had nothing to say. They could only use their eyes to express their congratulations, wishing that he would win the championship.
Fan Wujie also looked at Chu Xingyun and nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of praise.
At this moment, Xia Qingcheng walked in front of Chu Xingyun with a warm smile on her charming face. "Judging from your expression, you had the intention to win from the very beginning. Am I right?"
"You can say that." Chu Xingyun shrugged and spoke quite casually.
Xia Qingcheng's gaze trembled when she heard these words.
She'd only said those words to make fun of him. After all, Qi Yuzhen was the son of the Sword Head and had reached the third level of the sky spirit realm. How difficult would it be to defeat him at the ninth level of the earth spirit realm?
She hadn't expected that Chu Xingyun would directly admit it and reply so matter-of-factly. This deeply shocked Xia Qingcheng and made it even harder for her to see through Chu Xingyun's strength.
"You must be careful in the second battle. You must not be careless." At this moment, Chu Xingyun's voice rang out, causing Xia Qingcheng to recover from her shock. She waved her fists and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
After she finished speaking, she moved gracefully and walked towards another martial arts arena.
Chu Xingyun watched as Xia Qingcheng left. When he turned around, he felt a burning gaze from the side.
The person who was looking at him was none other than Lu Xing.
He stood in the air, blood Qi like threads lingering around his body. His blood-red eyes that were emitting a red light were filled with a high fighting spirit. Even his gaze had become burning hot.
"This person is not simple." Chu Xingyun frowned. The aura that Lu Xing was emitting was completely different from before and had become extremely dangerous.
It was even to the point that Chu Xingyun had a feeling that this Lu Xing was even more dangerous than Qi Yuzhen!
"The second battle, Xia Qingcheng versus Lu Xing!" At this moment, a voice rang out. The vast high platform became silent as everyone looked at the two figures on the arena.
Normally speaking, a person at the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Stage had no chance of winning against a person at the second level of the Heaven Spirit Stage.
But after the previous few battles, no one had such thoughts anymore. As long as it was someone related to Chu Xingyun, they could not use common sense to speculate. Similarly, they did not dare to make a rash judgment for this battle.
On the martial arts arena, the two people bowed towards each other at the same time. At the same time, their bodies blossomed with a dazzling brilliance.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind rose. A gust of wind mixed with a white mist swept past, obstructing the crowd's vision and easily enveloping the martial arts arena.
Xia Qingcheng's graceful figure disappeared and merged into the mist, causing people to be unable to sense her existence.
"It's this move again!" The crowd frowned. During the battle of the top eight, Xia Qingcheng had used this move to completely confuse Qin Xiu's judgment and successfully advance to the top four.
This move was both real and illusory, causing everyone to feel that it was troublesome.
Lu Xing stood on the spot. His vision was obstructed by the mist, but his expression did not change in the slightest. His blood red eyes looked straight ahead and said, "This move is indeed very strong, but it's useless against me."
The instant his voice fell, a boundless blood red light burst out from Lu Xing's body. The blood red light condensed into a human figure holding a blood red sword and brazenly charged towards a certain direction.
Whoosh!
The blood shadow's aura was terrifying to the extreme. Killing intent crazily erupted. Not only did it contain the sharpness of the sword qi, it also contained a pure destructive power.
The moment this power filled the air, the mist immediately dissipated. Sunlight shone down and shone on Lu Xing's body, refracting an endless blood red light.
At this moment, an extremely weak fluctuation came from the terrifying blood red light. Lu Xing's eyes trembled violently. With a wave of his hand, the blood red sword had already been unsheathed. It swept towards that direction and directly swept up a terrifying killing storm.
"Lose!"
Lu Xing suddenly spat out a word. The killing storm exploded and forced a beautiful figure out. A tyrannical aura descended on her body and easily sent her flying out of the martial arts arena.
Bang!
The beautiful figure landed on the ground, crushing a piece of bluestone and jade bricks. Her flawless face was already pale. A streak of dark red blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth and dripped onto the ground.
This woman was Xia Qingcheng.
In the short span of a few breaths of time, she was sent flying out of the arena after battling with Lu Xing. She even suffered some injuries.
Such a scene caused many people to be unable to react. The second battle of the top four had ended just like that?
Lu Xing had won so quickly. He had defeated Xia Qingcheng with just one sword strike.
He stood in the center of the arena and shifted his gaze to the high platform in front of him. He raised his blood red sword and pointed it at Chu Xingyun.
"The position of champion belongs to none other than me, Lu Xing!" A heroic voice came from Lu Xing's mouth. As he spoke, blood Qi bloomed from his body and surged in all directions with him as the center.
It was also at this moment that the crowd was shocked to discover that Lu Xing's aura had actually reached the third level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
