The Champion
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Lin Jingxuan was no match for Chu Xingyun, Liu Shiyun immediately rushed forward. However, she didn't expect that she would become Lin Jingxuan's substitute and be forced to face the terrifying pitch-black sword light.
In the stands, the crowd's eyes were frozen. They also didn't expect Lin Jingxuan to be so vicious. In order to survive, he actually ignored Liu Shiyun's life.
"Quickly dodge!" Liu Guqiong woke up from his daze and shouted at Liu Shiyun. The pitch-black sword light was so terrifying that it could even reverse the five elements of heaven and earth. How could Liu Shiyun block it?
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the sword light had already arrived and instantly enveloped Liu Shiyun's body.
Rumbling sounds erupted, with the battle platform as the center, terrifying Qi currents churned wildly. Every strand of pitch-black sword Qi was so tyrannical, wanting to sever everything, causing the battle platform to become even more chaotic, as though it had just experienced a calamity.
The sword light wreaked havoc, and the sound continued to echo.
The crowd saw that the battle stage had turned into a barren land. Broken stones were everywhere, and cracks covered the ground. The scene in the center was even more terrifying. It was still filled with the buzzing sound of swords. It was as if that place had turned into a sword light hell. There was no trace of life at all.
"That was close." Lin Jingxuan had already fled to the bottom of the battle stage. He looked at the barren land in front of him and immediately let out a long sigh of relief. If that sword had landed on him, he was afraid that his soul would have already returned to the underworld.
Liu Gu Qiong was also looking at the spectator stands. At this moment, his heart had already hit rock bottom, and his eyes had become incomparably red. He leaped up, and just as he was about to charge into the billowing smoke and dust, a violent gust of wind suddenly swept over and stopped his steps.
This wind slowly blew away the thick dust. The crowd looked over and saw that in the void, there was Chu Xingyun in black standing there. His eyes were still cold and emotionless, like a dark demon who controlled life and death. It made people shudder.
However, his hands weren't holding the Black Hole Epee. Instead, he was holding a beautiful girl in purple, Liu Shiyun.
He took a step and slowly descended from the sky. He carefully put Liu Shiyun down and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Liu Shiyun immediately came back to her senses. Her beautiful gem-like eyes stared at Chu Xingyun, and she was momentarily lost in thought.
The moment the sword reached her body, she had nowhere to run. She had almost given up on resisting and was waiting for death to come. However, it was also at that moment that Chu Xingyun suddenly appeared and saved her.
"You, why did you save me?" Liu Shiyun asked angrily. She didn't understand why Chu Xingyun would save her.
"I kill others because I have a reason to kill them. As for you, I have no intention of killing you." Chu Xingyun's voice was still indifferent. He turned around and walked towards the battle platform.
Suddenly, he stopped. He turned his head and looked at Liu Shiyun deeply. He said, "Sometimes, sacrificing for the sect is indeed worthy of respect. However, when you take action, you have to consider whether such sacrifice is necessary or not."
"Your life doesn't belong to the Liu Family, nor does it belong to the Ancient Star Sect. It only belongs to you. If you live your life under the orders of others, you will only be a pitiful person."
His voice was like an invisible thunder that exploded in Liu Shiyun's mind. She looked at Chu Xingyun's back and suddenly, the scene from before flashed through her mind. Her pupils shrank and she seemed to have understood a lot.
"Shiyun, are you alright?" It was only at this moment that Liu Guqiong finally arrived.
He carefully looked at Liu Shiyun and finally let out a sigh of relief. Behind him, Gu Fanxing and a group of elders also came over. They were all scared. The Ancient Star Sect had already lost a monstrous genius. If Liu Shiyun were to die, they wouldn't be able to bear it.
Seeing the frightened expressions of the crowd, Liu Shiyun didn't feel the slightest bit of warmth in her heart. On the contrary, she felt a chill in her heart.
If Liu Guqiong, Gu Fanxing, and the others really cared about her, why would they let her fight on the stage?
Perhaps what they really cared about wasn't her, but the Ancient Star Sect.
"This should be what Luo Yun meant by 'pitiful'." Liu Shiyun sighed in her heart. She suddenly felt that Chu Xingyun's eyes weren't cold at all. The hearts of the people gathered around her were even colder.
"Sect Master Lin, how do you explain Lin Jingxuan's actions just now?" After confirming that Liu Shiyun was fine, Gu Fanxing ignored them and looked coldly at Lin Yuanli, then focused on Lin Jingxuan.
"This …" Lin Yuanli was at a loss for words. No matter how he looked at it, Lin Jingxuan's actions were at a disadvantage. He couldn't refute it, nor could he. His face was filled with embarrassment.
However, even though it was embarrassing, Lin Yuanli approved of Lin Jingxuan's actions.
The situation just now was truly dangerous. If it were him, he would also use Liu Shiyun as a shield. Of course, he couldn't say that out loud. His mind was spinning as he thought about how to explain it to Gu Fanxing.
"The matter between the two of you shouldn't be discussed now, right?" Just as Lin Yuanli was thinking, Chu Xingyun's voice rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
He stood in the middle of the ruins and took in everyone's gaze. He said word by word, "In the ranking competition just now, three people forfeited. Three people were defeated by me. According to the rules, the champion of the Six Sects Grand Tournament should be mine."
When the crowd heard this, their expressions became a bit strange.
Ever since the Six Sects Grand Tournament was established, such a situation had never happened before. Even the rules of the ranking competition had been changed by Chu Xingyun. Moreover, he had used his domineering strength to defeat three people in a row.
His words were very unyielding, and he didn't put anyone in his eyes. However, no one could refute him because with Chu Xingyun's current strength, he was qualified to say such words.
"Luo Yun."
After a pause, Gu Fanxing spoke. Chu Xingyun looked over at him. Gu Fanxing's face was filled with unwillingness. In the end, he let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice, "You are the final winner of this ranking competition. Now, I announce that the champion of the Six Sects Grand Tournament belongs to you alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally noisy discussion instantly disappeared, and it became quiet. However, this silence did not last for long. Soon, sighs, unwillingness, and discussions once again spread out.
The crowd wasn't surprised by such a result. However, Chu Xingyun's domineering attitude kept appearing in their minds. They looked forward and felt as if they were in a dream.
Among the 12 monstrous geniuses, Chu Xingyun, who was originally the weakest, not only had he entered the Yin-Yang Realm, but he also had the strength to look down on everyone and forcefully won the championship.
All of this was like a dream, but it was the truth.
"You've won beautifully." A hearty voice was heard. Baili Kuangsheng's figure flew over and landed beside Chu Xingyun. "The championship belongs to you indeed."
As he spoke, Yun Changqing, Su Lengliu, and the others also walked over.
They also had a trace of disbelief on their faces, but more than that, they were happy.
Over the years, Wanjian Pavilion had almost always been at the bottom. Cultivation resources were scarce, and its status was even lower than other forces.
In the beginning, they only hoped that their ranking would rise slightly this year to alleviate their embarrassment. They never expected that Chu Xingyun would emerge as a dark horse and win the championship.
It had to be said that such a surprise was too great. It made them feel as if they were dreaming.
In the face of everyone's congratulations, Chu Xingyun didn't have much joy on his face. He only responded with a faint smile. His gaze landed on Fan Wujie. He opened his mouth and said, "Pavilion Master."
Fan Wujie's face was also filled with joy.
When he heard Chu Xingyun's voice, the smile on his face became even wider. Before he could speak, he heard Chu Xingyun ask, "According to the rules of the Six Sect Grand Competition, after the ranking competition, each sect needs to discuss the distribution of cultivation resources. This time is usually three days. Am I right?"
"That's right. The Six Sect Grand Competition will only truly end after the discussion on the distribution of resources is over." When the distribution of resources was mentioned, Fan Wujie was ecstatic. He looked at Chu Xingyun with a face full of smiles. However, Chu Xingyun coldly turned around and flew into the air.
He said indifferently, "I have no interest in the distribution of resources. I need to go into seclusion to cultivate for the next three days. I'll leave everything to you."
After speaking, Chu Xingyun didn't wait for Fan Wujie's reply. He turned into a ray of light and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Looking at Chu Xingyun's figure, everyone was stunned again. Some people's faces even began to twitch.
This Chu Xingyun was too arrogant.
His words just now actually sounded like he was commanding Fan Wujie.
It was as if he was the Pavilion Master of the Wanjian Pavilion and Fan Wujie was his subordinate. He had to listen to all of his orders.
"Luo Yun, you …" Qin Qiumo also felt this. He suddenly turned around and was about to berate Chu Xingyun. However, just as he opened his mouth, Chang Chixiao turned around and gave him a look.
At this moment, Chang Chixiao's face didn't have any shock or anger. He was very calm. However, within that calmness, there was a faint trace of cunning.
