The disciple of Sword Sect, who had just been stopped by Xi Xiang, was stunned when he saw Lu Qingshan suddenly arrive. After coming to his senses, he looked at Lu Qingshan with many complicated emotions in his eyes.
Hope, pity, relief, and all kinds of emotions were in his eyes, but there was no dissatisfaction or complaint about Lu Qingshan's late arrival.
"Although this request isn't that easy for you," he slowly retreated into the ranks of the Eastern Region cultivators. When he passed by Lu Qingshan, his footsteps paused for a moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "But … you must personally drag the Middle Heaven Region down with you!"
Lu Qingshan knew this disciple of Sword Sect.
If he remembered correctly, his name should be Mo Yiqing.
Because when he first joined Sword Sect and practiced swordsmanship on the Green Cliff Plateau, Mo Yiqing was one of the many Senior Brothers in the Nascent Soul Stage who took the initiative to "feed the sword" to him.
Mo Yiqing did not ask Lu Qingshan to win the final victory of this competition, because it was unrealistic.
He just hoped that Lu Qingshan could represent Sword Sect and eliminate all the remaining cultivators of the Middle Heaven Region on his own. Under the situation of being ostracized by the six regions, Lu Qingshan could personally send the leading Middle Heaven Region away first!
At present, there were six cultivators of the Middle Heaven Region, including Li Feng, who was ranked fourth on the Yellow List, and another who was ranked twelfth on the Yellow List.
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be an extremely difficult task.
But since Lu Qingshan entered the Sword Sect, which of the illustrious reputation he'd made for himself seemed to be a matter of course?
He sincerely believed that Lu Qingshan could create such a miracle today.
Lu Qingshan could feel that the ten cultivators from the East Region who participated in this competition were all looking at him eagerly at this time.
In addition, there were many people outside the Heart-Nourishing Platform who were also looking at him.
His mood was slightly complicated.
Compared with Lu Qingshan, Mo Yiqing's mood was actually more complicated.
Once upon a time, the little sword cultivator who had just entered Sword Sect, the Junior Brother, still needed the Senior Brothers to take care of him and feed him the sword on the Green Cliff Plateau. Now, he had grown to the point where he felt inferior and became the person who could stabilize Sword Sect in this predicament.
How long had it been?
Thinking about it carefully, it had only been a short three years.
This was a talent that made others envious!
…
"Okay," Lu Qingshan nodded slightly to Mo Yiqing. His voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and full of strength as he said softly, "Then let's start with the Middle Heaven Territory."
He turned around and said respectfully to Monarch Qing Mei, who was standing with his hands behind his back, "Sorry for the delay."
Qing Mei King nodded, seemingly unconcerned. "Get ready to begin."
Lu Qingshan's appearance had already caused a large number of people to become restless, and the first to bear the brunt was Marquis Nanming.
The counterattack of the Freezing Snow Peak had greatly dampened the spirit of the Middle Heaven Region, and made their chances of winning the competition extremely slim.
The appearance of Lu Qingshan was like a bolt from the blue, directly extinguishing their tiny glimmer of hope.
"The Sword Master is really a mad dog, staring at me and biting me …" Marquis Nanming gritted his teeth and kept cursing in his heart. At the same time, he felt a little unwilling and regretful.
If the previous battles had ended a little faster, Lu Qingshan wouldn't have been able to catch up, right?
If he hadn't taken the initiative to take the lead against the East Region, he wouldn't have fallen into such an embarrassing situation now, right?
Lu Qingshan didn't know the regret in Marquis Nanming's heart. He just walked slowly to the side of the Mountain Sea Pillar, facing Li Feng from a distance.
"Lu Qingshan …" Li Feng looked serious and sized up the extremely young sword cultivator in front of him, who was ranked one place higher than him on the Yellow Board.
He was a person who thought highly of himself, but it didn't mean that he was arrogant.
As one of the few outstanding Nascent Soul cultivators, he was only afraid of the top three cultivators on the Yellow Board.
At this time, Monarch Qing Mei had already activated the Mountain Sea Pillar again.
"This small world is the Cloud Sea Realm." While speaking, the Mountain Sea Pillar had already emitted a spiritual light, enveloping the two.
When the spiritual light dissipated, the two disappeared.
The Cloud Sea Realm, as its name suggested, was surrounded by clouds and mist, and the vision was extremely poor.
This should be the favorite place of meditation cultivators, because this environment was suitable for them to hide their bodies. For Dharma Cultivators, Spirit Cultivators, and Sword Cultivators who specialized in the Inner Sword, this terrain was disadvantageous for them.
However, everyone knew that Lu Qingshan was a master of both the Inner and Outer Sword. Therefore, in the battle between Lu Qingshan and Li Feng, the Cloud Sea Realm was a relatively fair small world.
In front of the screen wall, everyone was silent, holding their breaths and calming their Qi.
This was an earth-shattering battle between the fourth on the Yellow Board and the third on the Yellow Board. If it wasn't for this competition, they might not have been able to see such an exciting battle. Naturally, they didn't want to miss any details.
In everyone's eyes, Lu Qingshan and Li Feng appeared on the two sides of the Cloud Sea that were less than ten miles apart.
"In this kind of situation, waiting is the best choice. Since the Cloud Sea is shrouded, whoever moves first will cause the clouds to change, and will expose their position to the other person.
Li Feng is a body cultivator, and has thick skin. Even if he is attacked first, it will be fine. Sword cultivators don't have this skill, "in the Eastern Region team, Xi Xiang thought inside.
As an old realm seven sword cultivator, he had experienced countless battles, and his judgment was naturally very accurate.
But what he hadn't expected was that when Lu Qingshan appeared in Cloud Sea Realm, he didn't wait, but immediately moved.
A burning red longsword appeared in his hand, and then he charged as fast as lightning towards the center of Cloud Sea Realm.
"Ah, what is this boy doing?!" Xi Xiang couldn't help but frown. At first, he couldn't understand Lu Qingshan's actions, and then he comforted himself. "This boy is a killer, and has a lot of experience in fights. He should be able to see this, he should have other intentions … …"
If Lu Qingshan knew what Xi Xiang was thinking, he would probably cry out that he had been wronged.
Because he really didn't have any other intentions. He was just patrolling to find Li Feng's landing spot, or to let Li Feng find his position.
In any case, there wasn't much difference between the two to him.
And to find someone, one had to first find a center point, and then radiate to the surroundings.
Lu Qingshan only covered a thousand feet around himself with his Divine Sense, and didn't release it completely, because it would consume too much of his Divine Sense.
After ten breaths, just as Xi Xiang had predicted, Lu Qingshan's movements were too big, and before he could find Li Feng, Li Feng had discovered him.
The sound of rushing wind suddenly exploded.
In the next instant, Li Feng had already brought his Dharma Power with him, and blasted apart the Cloud Sea. He appeared unstoppably behind Lu Qingshan, and slashed his saber at Lu Qingshan.
Li Feng's saber was fast and fierce, and the saber was densely covered with saber energy.
The crowd in front of the screen wall instantly exclaimed in shock.
They knew all too well what such a ferocious saber meant to a swordsman.
Under the countless widened eyes of the crowd, Lu Qingshan, who seemed to be in a dangerous situation, seemed to have a Heavenly Eye at the back of his head. With a backhand swipe, he blocked Li Feng's saber at just the right time.
Clang!
The blade of the sword and the saber collided, and the crisp sound of jade colliding rang out.
The Sword Qi on the blade of the sword collided with the saber energy on the saber blade, and shattered into pieces, tearing apart the surrounding clouds.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had attacked and defended for nearly ten rounds in this small space.
Li Feng wielded his saber, and Lu Qingshan moved like a swimming dragon. His figure was so fast that it couldn't be seen clearly, and only the occasional sound of metal colliding could be heard.
Finally, Li Feng's figure was shaken to the point where he was pushed back several meters by the loud sound of metal colliding with each other.
Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, didn't move at all.
Li Feng looked warily at Lu Qingshan, or rather at Lu Qingshan's Dragon Sparrow.
The sword was light and agile, while the saber was heavy and heavy.
In terms of strength, he could feel that Lu Qingshan was inferior to him.
The reason why he was at a disadvantage in this confrontation, even though he had made the first move, was because the quality of Lu Qingshan's sword was far superior to the saber in his hand, as if it had great power.
In other words, he was at a disadvantage because of the artifact.
Pseudo Dao artifact.
Li Feng's eyes flickered, and he recalled the evaluation of Lu Qingshan's Natal Sword on the Yellow Board.
But while he was still thinking, Lu Qingshan was already rushing towards him with his sword.
A swordsman initiated a close combat attack against a body cultivator who was known as the king of close combat.
This was like mockery, and Li Feng's eyes immediately flashed with endless fighting spirit.
Majestic spiritual power whizzed out, and he clenched the saber in his hand. Endless saber aura appeared on the blade, like a waterfall, containing extremely violent and fierce fluctuations. The momentum was shocking, and it slashed towards Lu Qingshan angrily.
Wherever the blade passed, a violent gust of wind was set off, and the thick sea of clouds was pushed to the sides.
It really had the so-called power of a saber cutting through water.
In the process of the blade slashing down, the waterfall formed by the saber aura left the blade and covered the sky and earth as it headed towards Lu Qingshan's position.
Before the start of the competition, Marquis Nanming had introduced to Li Feng in detail the methods of a few noteworthy cultivators.
As for Lu Qingshan, who was the third imaginary enemy, he was naturally the one who had received the most attention.
"Extraordinary swordsmanship, outstanding combat awareness, almost omniscient ability in close combat, and difficult to achieve with single attacks. It is very likely that this is the magic of the true meaning of karma."
In the short exchange of blows earlier, Lu Qingshan seemed to have also displayed this ability, and several of his moves were narrowly dodged by his own attacks.
Therefore, Li Feng's slash was accompanied by a long river of saber aura, and it was an unavoidable group attack.
Of course, this method consumed a lot of spiritual power.
But Li Feng knew that he could not consider too much when facing a strong opponent like Lu Qingshan.
It was not easy to win, and he still wanted to save spiritual power?
…
In front of the screen wall, Xue Hanfeng's face was solemn.
Previously, he was defeated by the combination of Li Feng's Lion's Roar and the long river of saber aura.
Therefore, he was very clear about the power of the long river of saber aura.
Of course, compared to the attack of a swordsman, the long river of saber aura was still inferior.
The problem was that Lu Qingshan was a swordsman, and his body was fragile!
Moreover, although he did not want to admit it, he had to admit that he, who was not good at using external swords, was actually a little scared of this kind of close combat.
Even Xue Hanfeng was so scared, let alone the spectating cultivators whose cultivation base was not obvious. All of them were scared out of their wits, and their palms were sweating profusely.
The real person involved, Lu Qingshan, faced with the long river of saber aura, a light flashed in his eyes.
Different from Li Feng's judgment, he did not use the divine prediction.
The reason why he could accurately dodge Li Feng's attacks was entirely because of his own reaction and combat skills. If he had used the divine prediction, all of Li Feng's attacks would have missed.
The activation of the true meaning of karma consumed a lot of spiritual power, so he did not want to act rashly.
This wasn't the only battle he had planned!
And now, he didn't want to play house with Li Feng like this anymore.
Let's end this quickly.
Lu Qingshan thought to himself, and directly attacked with his sword.
Dragon Sparrow: Dragon Breath.
He shouted in his heart, and a snake-like shadow of a dragon appeared on the sword.
Filled with red flames, the shadow of the dragon turned into a flaming snake. It opened its mouth and bit at the long river of saber aura.
Whether in terms of power or size, Dragon Breath was superior to the long river of saber aura.
Li Feng's expression changed slightly. He knew this move was not easy to deal with.
The golden light of the avatar enveloping his body shone brightly as if it had come alive. It took a step forward and blocked in front of him. The skin on his body faintly glowed with a cold metallic color, like a piece of iron plate.
The situation was clear. Next would be the simplest and most direct confrontation of offense and defense, a clash of contradictions.
Li Feng used his strongest defense.
The avatar's protection and the Body of Iron Wall were both top-notch techniques and high-level defensive techniques. They made him invincible against those of the same level.
However, Lu Qingshan's attacking methods had long since surpassed the level of his cultivation level.
After the flaming snake formed by the Dragon Breath swallowed Li Feng's long river of saber aura, its power did not dissipate. It directly bombarded his avatar.
The power of Dragon Breath directly hit Li Feng's avatar, causing its divine light to dim.
However, Li Feng was the fourth on the Yellow Board after all. He was not that weak, so he was able to withstand the attack.
However, before Li Feng could catch his breath and replenish his avatar's power, he was shocked to find that after the flaming snake that had just dissipated, another green snake was pouncing on him.
Li Feng's pupils suddenly shrank. His eyes were filled with the ferocious head of the green snake.
What was that? And, why was it so terrifying?
In terms of power, the green snake was even more terrifying than the flaming snake from before.
However, this green snake was hidden behind the flaming snake. Li Feng, who was focused on dealing with the Dragon Breath, did not even notice when the green snake was released.
First, a less powerful move was used to test the enemy's strength, confuse the enemy, and at the same time, hide the move in the first move and then use it to defeat the enemy. This was a very common and monotonous way of fighting in the Cultivation World.
Logically speaking, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like Li Feng would not fall for it.
The problem was that the Dragon Breath of the Dragon Sparrow was extremely powerful. No matter how one looked at it, it did not look like a move to test the enemy.
Did you use the king to confuse the opponent? Was there such a luxury?
Li Feng had no way to refute.
He sensed the danger, but it was too late. He could only count on his avatar and the Body of Iron Wall to help him withstand the attack.
A majestic power burst out from the green snake and bombarded Li Feng's body.
His dim avatar that had not been nourished by the spiritual power was immediately shattered into bits of golden light. Then, the green snake bit Li Feng's skin that was glowing with a golden color.
Bang!
A loud rumbling sound echoed throughout the small world. A circle of violent wind spread out in all directions with Li Feng as the center, pushing away all the clouds and mist within a radius of a few miles. Instead, it was replaced by a dazzling green light.
Immediately, Li Feng's body shook violently as the green snake pushed against his lower abdomen.
The long saber in his hand was also shaken out of his hand.
Puchi!
A low sound rang out continuously. The layers of sword qi that formed the green snake were constantly dissipating, and the green snake's body was constantly shrinking.
In contrast, the color of Li Feng's skin was gradually dimming.
Li Feng had been pushed back by the sword qi of the green snake. After retreating for a full three hundred meters, his aura was finally exhausted. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth. He was obviously injured.
In this conflict, the defense that Li Feng was so proud of was completely defeated.
Even when Lu Qingshan used the green snake sword qi, he only used sixty percent of his strength. Using the full strength of the green snake sword qi also consumed a lot of spiritual power.
A large hand made of spirit light appeared at the right time. It grabbed the green snake sword qi that had shrunk by seventy percent and wiped it away.
Two gentle spirit lights followed and covered Lu Qingshan and Li Feng's figures.
A moment later, the two were sent out of the Cloud Sea Jie.
.....
"The sixteenth battle, Eastern Region wins."
In front of the Mountain Sea Pillar, Lu Qingshan and Li Feng stood silently.
In the entire world, gazes of astonishment kept looking at the young figure standing with a sword.
From the start of the battle to the end, only ten breaths of time had passed.
Lu Qingshan won just like that?
Li Feng was not some weak fish or shrimp, but the fourth on the Yellow Ranking, "One Saber Cutting Water," and a body cultivator that theoretically countered sword cultivators.
They had expected to fight until the sky turned dark and the earth turned dark. How could the brilliant battle between the two sides come to an end just like that?!
This caused the spectating cultivators to have a feeling of "Has it started? It's already over. "She felt a sense of loss.
But to say that this battle was not exciting?
That was also impossible.
The whole process of this battle really made them dumbfounded. If they had not seen it with their own eyes and only heard about it, they would have thought that others had "whitewashed" it and exaggerated it.
Unfortunately, most of the cultivators present were still confused about the final battle that would determine the outcome of the battle.
But it was not a big problem, because there would soon be a "King Who Understands" to explain the details of this battle, and they only needed to click their tongue in amazement and offer some praises as a "reward."
…
Green Brow King acted in time. Although Li Feng was injured, it was only a minor injury.
At this moment, he was looking at Lu Qingshan with a serious expression.
Lu Qingshan's green snake sword qi still made his heart palpitate.
Sword qi taking form, this was a technique that only Void Refinement sword cultivators could use. But if it was used by Lu Qingshan, who could be called the most outstanding Nascent Soul sword cultivator in the world, he would not be too surprised.
What he couldn't accept was that the defensive technique he was so proud of was so vulnerable in front of this green snake sword qi.
Li Feng lost aggrievedly because he still had many techniques that he had not used. For example, the lion roar that he had used in the previous battle was unexpectedly defeated in a conflict of contradictions.
But he also lost as a matter of course.
Because the real battle in the cultivation world was often like this.
There was a high chance that you would be decapitated before you had time to display all your abilities, before you had the chance to use your powerful magical artifacts, before you had the chance to use your trump card, and so on.
Life and death battles were so cruel. It was never a best of three competition where the spiritual power fought the primordial spirit and the primordial spirit fought the magic tool. You might have died before your spiritual power could compete.
You still want to fight? You want to do it again?
Go to the Yellow Spring Hell and talk to the Yellow Spring Hell Overlord!
A cultivator at Li Feng's level naturally would not have such a childish thought like "I was just careless for a moment."
So even if he felt aggrieved in his heart, he could only walk back to the cultivators of the Middle Heaven Region with heavy footsteps.
…
Lu Qingshan didn't treat this victory too seriously.
For the current him, defeating someone ranked fourth on the Yellow Rankings was indeed nothing to be proud of.
He silently retrieved a pill that his honored master Xia Daoyun had given him to recover spiritual energy. He swallowed it in one gulp, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his technique to recover his spiritual energy.
His battle with Li Feng actually didn't use up too much of his spiritual energy.
However, for the sake of making it in time for this competition, he flew at full speed on his sword for a long time. This was the true reason why he had used up most of his spiritual energy.
The scene quieted down, but the burning gazes that were directed at Lu Qingshan didn't stop.
…
Four hours later, Lu Qingshan opened his eyes.
"The seventeenth battle is about to begin." Green Brow King still spoke sparingly.
The arena was completely silent. All of the remaining cultivators who hadn't gone up yet were indifferent. It was to the extent where quite a few of them began to secretly look at each other in dismay.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Middle Heaven Region would be the ones to suffer.
Let them suffer first. The one who stood out was the one whose brain was damaged!
Marquis Nanming's face was gloomy and bleak.
After watching the battle just now, he didn't have the slightest bit of hope.
"Forget it, forget it. They said that they would join hands to ostracize the Eastern Region, but in the end, the one who was ostracized was actually myself." Marquis Nanming sighed in his heart.
When the spectating cultivators saw this scene, they let out a series of sighs.
They had already expected this kind of situation after Lu Qingshan easily won, so they weren't surprised when it really happened.
However, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
After waiting for a while, Green Brow King saw that no one wanted to challenge him, so he announced that Lu Qingshan would choose his opponent.
Lu Qingshan's gaze directly landed on the Middle Heaven Region's camp. Then, he casually pointed and chose a cultivator with a clear and mature appearance.
"You."
It really was just a casual point of his finger.
Since he was prepared to wipe out all of the cultivators from the Middle Heaven Region, what was the point of considering the order?
