Hearing the two people fighting in the first match, Feng Xian narrowed his eyes.
Although it cannot be arbitrarily said that Venerate Lei played tricks, making Xiao Yan directly face the chief disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion is too big a leap.
Of course, Feng Xian couldn't say much; after all, this is within the rules.
In everyone's eyes, Xiao Yan, who had just showed off a little, quickly changed from an emerging talent to a pitiful character destined to lose.
Tang Ying is now at the realm of Half-Step Dou Ancestor. Just now, he defeated two Nine-Star Dou Emperors directly with one sword technique; his strength is extraordinary.
No matter how amazing Xiao Yan's punch was, facing the gap in hard strength, no one thinks he can win.
Hearing the referee announce the names of the two, Feng Guang stood blankly on the spot.
"Brother Xiao..."
Obviously, he, like everyone else, felt Xiao Yan was going to lose.
Although he and Xiao Yan can be considered friends who have met twice, he doesn't actually know Xiao Yan's true strength very well.
Feng Guang knows Xiao Yan is very strong, but facing Tang Ying of the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, the probability of losing is really not small.
Compared to everyone's various opinions, Xiao Yan himself was very calm.
"Tang Ying of the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion?"
Xiao Yan simply stretched his muscles and bones.
It seems there will be some fun to play later.
The two quickly stepped onto the ring battlefield.
The venue that previously accommodated dozens of people now only has two, which can be said to be very spacious.
"Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion Tang Ying, please enlighten me."
Tang Ying carried his sword and bowed, elegant and poised.
"Falling Star Pavilion Xiao Yan, please enlighten me!"
Xiao Yan cupped his hands in salute, a sunny smile appearing on his face.
"Why is he still smiling?"
"Exactly, if it were me, I'd probably be crying."
With the referee's order, the two on the field quickly turned into two streaks of Dou Qi light and collided.
Clang!
Tang Ying held a giant sword, and Xiao Yan held a giant ruler. Both used heavy weapons to fight. The shockwave from the slash swept the venue like a strong wind.
The audience on the spectator stand felt the battle on the ring affect them for the first time. The disciples of the Wind Lightning Pavilion immediately opened the defensive barrier, which also represented that the battle on the field had entered the second stage.
"Xiao Yan!"
Tang Ying pushed the opponent away with a sword and flew backward himself.
"They all underestimated you."
In the move just now, he used seventy percent of his strength, but Xiao Yan received it completely.
This is not the power a Seven-Star Dou Emperor should have.
Xiao Yan plowed two deep marks on the ground with his feet, stuck the Heavy Ruler aside, and shook his numb arm.
Worthy of being the chief genius of the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion; not only is the force great, but the sword intent is also extremely tyrannical.
Although it was just one move just now, Tang Ying's sword intent launched a second attack.
Fortunately, he used the hidden force of the Octane Blast and resisted it through the Heavy Ruler; otherwise, he would have been knocked flying by the first move.
Cannot be underestimated...
Xiao Yan took a deep breath.
The elder said Tang Ying had reached the cultivation of Half-Step Dou Ancestor. Fighting a protracted battle with him is not beneficial; he must find weaknesses as soon as possible.
The two flashed their figures again and began the second confrontation.
"Why is Xiao Yan fighting back and forth with Tang Ying?"
"Yeah, it seems he really has some skills!"
On the high platform, Venerate Sword frowned slightly seeing Tang Ying fail to take down Xiao Yan for a long time.
Tang Ying is now fighting on behalf of the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion. Entangled with a Seven-Star Dou Emperor for so long, what kind of propriety is this?
You should know, the true representative of the Falling Star Pavilion, Mu Qingluan, hasn't even taken action yet.
"Tang Ying, speed up and end the battle!"
Venerate Sword transmitted a reminder.
Receiving his master's transmission, Tang Ying's eyes instantly became sharp.
Originally, he wanted to figure out Xiao Yan's combat routines first and then use moves to defeat him. This is safer and doesn't require exposing his trump cards.
But since master requested, then decide the victory with one move!
Tang Ying suddenly pushed Xiao Yan away with a sword, and fierce sword intent erupted in his body.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect!"
Why use the ultimate move suddenly?
Xiao Yan couldn't figure it out; he still felt Tang Ying was a good sparring partner.
Forget it, I'll use mine too.
Fallen Heart Flame emerged in Xiao Yan's eyes, and a majestic aura erupted from his body, even causing his hair and clothes to burn.
"That is... Heavenly Flame!"
Sharp-eyed people recognized the flame on Xiao Yan and exclaimed in shock.
"It's Fallen Heart Flame!"
Xiao Yan exhaled a long breath, circulating the Dou Qi in his body to the limit.
Facing the ultimate move of a Half-Step Dou Ancestor, he must do his best. If he still thinks about holding back, the outcome will probably be very miserable.
Crack crack!
Xiao Yan brushed his hand over the Heavy Ruler, and the flame patterns on the ruler surface gradually lit up.
"Flame Splitting!"
In the crowd, Feng Guang's eyes lit up, his fists clenched tightly.
"It's that move!"
He had seen Brother Xiao's Dou Technique!
The momentum displayed today is much more tyrannical than that day in the Heaven Eye Mountain Range!
Seeing Xiao Yan display a Heavenly Flame, Tang Ying felt something was wrong.
Just now he hadn't figured out the opponent's bottom line. Rashly using the ultimate move was indeed somewhat inappropriate.
But the arrow is on the string and has to be shot...
Tang Ying's eyes became firm.
So what if he has a Heavenly Flame?
Watch my sword cleave your flame!
Ten thousand sword shadows gathered in the air, forming a huge long sword.
"Go!"
Tang Ying pointed with his sword fingers, and the long sword covering the sky and sun fell menacingly, killing towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan brewed for a long time, and the flame in his eyes burned more and more fiercely.
"Tsunami Ruler!"
Swish!
A semi-arc flame slash flew out, slashing towards the giant sword in the sky.
When the two energies collided, turbulent fluctuations spread around. Fortunately, the barrier of the Wind Lightning Pavilion was quite strong and didn't affect the people on the stand.
The long sword condensed by Tang Ying carried sharp sword intent. After colliding with Xiao Yan's Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler, it fell layer by layer like water from a tilted sky, directly gaining an overwhelming advantage.
Seeing that Xiao Yan's Dou Technique couldn't stop his Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect, Tang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, his chest suddenly trembled violently. A formless flame had ignited in his heart at some unknown time!
"This is..."
Tang Ying's pupils shrank suddenly. He just wanted to take action, but in the next instant, the Heavenly Flame exploded in his heart!
Boom!
The Dou Qi in Tang Ying's body flowed uncontrollably. Under normal circumstances, Tang Ying could naturally rely on his superb control ability to quickly quell the Dou Qi abnormality. But because he was executing a high-level Dou Technique at this time, the backlash caused by the uncontrolled Dou Qi was much more severe than usual.
"Pfft!"
Tang Ying spat a mouthful of blood, and traces of cracks began to appear at the top of the giant energy sword.
He gritted his teeth, forcefully controlled the out-of-control Dou Qi, and restored the balance in his body.
It has to be said that as the chief of the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, Tang Ying's comprehensive strength is very strong.
Ordinary opponents don't have such fast reaction speed, nor the attitude of maintaining calm when facing a crisis.
Unfortunately, in this battle, Tang Ying lost.
The Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler displayed by Xiao Yan suddenly erupted with multiple aftereffects. The flame wave aura became more and more tyrannical, finally shattering the giant sword directly from bottom to top with irresistible force!
"Lost!"
Everyone watched dumbfounded as Tang Ying was hit by the Tsunami Ruler and then fell from mid-air.
Xiao Yan of the Falling Star Pavilion is actually this strong?
Defeated Tang Ying!
Xiao Yan panted heavily at this time; the move just now was also his extreme outburst.
But fortunately, he won this bombardment.
The Fallen Heart Flame hit the opponent's weakness. Although Tang Ying reacted quickly, it was too late.
In a duel between experts, even a slight error will cause fatal consequences.
This is the importance of trump cards.
If Tang Ying knew from the beginning that Xiao Yan possessed the Fallen Heart Flame and knew its abilities, he would have used Dou Qi to protect his heart meridian in advance. This way he wouldn't be affected too much, at least able to persist until the ultimate move was fully outputted. If so, the current situation would look much better, at least not directly defeated by Xiao Yan and falling from mid-air.
"It's over..."
Xiao Yan exhaled a long breath.
A flying sword flew from the high platform and caught the falling Tang Ying.
"Worthy of being a high disciple of the Falling Star Pavilion, actually possessing such a wondrous object as the Fallen Heart Flame. We lost this battle."
Venerate Sword said.
As his disciple, Tang Ying is also the strongest among the disciples traveling from the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion this time. His defeat at the hands of Xiao Yan already explains the ending of the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion in this grand competition.
Venerate Sword's face was calm, seemingly without any ripples, but everyone knew that this powerhouse's mood right now was definitely not wonderful.
Xiao Yan cupped his hands in salute, turned, and retreated to the resting area.
Feng Xian noticed that the hand under Venerate Sword's sleeve was clenched tightly and shook his head slightly.
This old fellow is still so calculating.
Isn't it just Tang Ying losing to Xiao Yan?
The corner of Feng Xian's mouth curled up imperceptibly.
What's there to be angry about...
But then again, Feng Xian was also quite surprised that Xiao Yan could defeat Tang Ying.
Originally, he thought it was already very good that the two fought evenly. He didn't expect Tang Ying to suddenly use his ultimate move, giving Xiao Yan a chance to decide the universe with one blow.
Still young and arrogant. Tang Ying's playstyle in the first half was very conservative, but he got too anxious in the second half.
Venerate Sword's mood at this time was indeed very complicated because letting Tang Ying use the ultimate move was his command. If not for his command, perhaps Tang Ying could have found Xiao Yan's flaws and defeated him.
But since things have come to this, it is absolutely impossible for him to stand out and admit his mistake.
He can only grit his teeth and swallow the fruit of defeat, then emphasize that Xiao Yan is a high disciple of the Falling Star Pavilion and possesses such a wondrous object as the Fallen Heart Flame, so that Tang Ying's defeat is more excusable.
Venerate Lei was also somewhat embarrassed at this time.
He admitted that he played tricks in the first match, wanting to mess with Feng Xian's mood, letting Xiao Yan directly face Tang Ying and end up in a miserable defeat.
But who could have expected Xiao Yan to be so fierce, directly defeating Tang Ying.
Now he not only offended Feng Xian but also offended Venerate Sword. Truly a huge loss.
Venerate Lei coughed lightly and prompted the referee to continue the next match.
"Next match, Wind Lightning Pavilion Feng Qing'er, against Bone Refining Sect Pan Shi!"
To show the fairness of the competition, Venerate Lei arranged for his direct disciple to deal with an Eight-Star Dou Emperor from a small sect.
Hearing his opponent's name, the face of Pan Shi from the Bone Refining Sect instantly darkened.
Wind Lightning Pavilion Feng Qing'er... How to fight this!
After stepping onto the ring extremely passively, Pan Shi was defeated by Feng Qing'er in one encounter.
Everyone finally saw the gap between a true genius and an ordinary genius.
For Pan Shi to break into the top eight, he already stood out among geniuses, but meeting Feng Qing'er, he still lost in one move.
"Worthy of being the strongest genius of the Wind Lightning Pavilion!"
Everyone praised.
Unfortunately, it was too fast; the battle ended before they could see it clearly just now. If any cultivator could fight Feng Qing'er evenly, that would be exhilarating!
In the following few matches, Feng Guang faced another cultivator from outside the Four Pavilions. The opponent was a Nine-Star Dou Emperor. Without much suspense, he lost.
But Feng Guang himself had no regrets. Being able to enter the top eight was already luck; losing now is not a pity.
Then, that Nine-Star Dou Emperor met Xiao Yan.
This battle also had no suspense. Even though the Nine-Star Dou Emperor played very conservatively, facing Xiao Yan, he was still knocked off the ring within ten moves.
Xiao Yan carried the Heavy Ruler and raised his chin to Feng Guang, indicating he had avenged him.
After these two battles, no one dared to underestimate Xiao Yan anymore. Those who previously thought he won by luck also began to elevate him to the ranks of the chief disciples of the Four Pavilions.
"Next match, Wind Lightning Pavilion Feng Qing'er, against Falling Star Pavilion Mu Qingluan!"
As the referee's voice fell, a warm cheer erupted on the field.
This battle is the most anticipated match by everyone.
Between the top geniuses from the two pavilions, who can achieve final victory?
Mu Qingluan had just defeated a disciple of the Sky Fire Pavilion, and her aura was at its strongest.
Defeating a Half-Step Dou Ancestor with the Dou Ancestor realm is not too difficult, but facing Feng Qing'er now, Mu Qingluan can sense that the other party has also broken through to the Dou Ancestor realm.
"Didn't expect you also broke through?"
Feng Qing'er smiled faintly, her eyes revealing a contemptuous look overlooking all living beings.
"I should be the one saying that."
Mu Qingluan stepped on the void, speaking domineeringly.
Feng Qing'er was not to be outdone, also taking a step. The two stood towering in mid-air, and a magnificent momentum spread invisibly.
The referee elder retreated a few steps slightly before announcing the start of the fight.
As soon as the voice fell, the two glaring at each other collided, and the powerful shockwave blew the referee away.
Fortunately, I retreated some distance in advance... the referee said with lingering fear.
The battle between two Dou Ancestors formally escalated the situation to the third level.
The audience on the stand was confused at this time.
The cultivators who originally thought they could get a good look at Feng Qing'er's combat posture couldn't even catch the figures of the two now.
Feng Qing'er operated "Three Thousand Lightning Movement", her figure like lightning, shuttling rapidly through the battlefield. Mu Qingluan used the movement Dou Technique of the Green Luan clan, strong winds under her feet, her speed not inferior to Feng Qing'er at all.
"Wind Killing Finger!"
Feng Qing'er struck down with a wind and thunder finger force, and Mu Qingluan countered with a blast of strong wind.
"Divine Wind Wild Dance!"
The two attacks collided, and Feng Qing'er's body flew backward, almost leaving the ring.
She looked at Mu Qingluan in disbelief, not knowing where the opponent got such strong power.
"Interesting!"
Feng Qing'er's attack was frustrated, but she didn't feel discouraged. Instead, she revealed a somewhat crazy smile.
She raised her hand and formed a weird seal, then her body erupted with a mysterious and powerful aura.
Mu Qingluan smiled faintly: "Finally revealing your true form?"
"Sky Demon Phoenix!"
