Chapter 33 Entering the Top Eight (Part One)
The outer disciples under the stage were stunned.
Du Wenke was a hot contender for the top ten in this ranking tournament, but he was unexpectedly defeated by Xuan Tian with just seventeen moves, which was beyond the expectation of all the disciples.
And Xuan Tian was still using only mid-grade Huang Jie's martial skills, the "Fierce Bull Fist" and the "Wind Chasing Sword".
This shows that Xuantian defeated Du Wenke without using his full strength.
Xuantian's strength, what degree has it reached?
After this battle, every outer door disciple had a sense of confusion in their hearts. Although Xuan Tian was very powerful, the disciples had never thought that Xuan Tian could defeat Du Wen Kei, which proved that Xuan Tian had the strength to enter the top ten.
The entire fifth round, there was no other match that could compare to the battle between Xuantian and Du Wenke in terms of attracting interest. Therefore, throughout the round, the topic of discussion among the outer sect disciples on the square was still the battle between Xuantian and Du Wenke.
The fifth round has only 32 matches. After the competition is over, it will also take some time to decide the 33rd-64th places. On the same day in the morning, the fifth round of competition was completed.
After lunch, in the afternoon of the same day, the sixth round of competition has already begun.
If the fifth round is said to be the start of the entire ranking tournament, then the sixth round can be considered explosive.
The sixth round is 32 advancing to 16, among the 32 disciples competing, 30 are tenth-order cultivators of the Martial Dao Realm, one is a ninth-order cultivator, and one is an eighth-order cultivator.
Apart from Fan Hong and Du Wenke who were defeated by Xuan Tian, all the top disciples of the 10th level of cultivation entered the top 32.
Du Wenke was defeated by Xuan Tian in the fifth round, Yang Dingjun's anger burned like fire, he hated Xuan Tian so much that his teeth itched, and he wished to immediately get on the ring and have a fierce battle with Xuan Tian.
However, in the sixth round, Yang Dingjun still did not draw Xuan Tian as his opponent, but instead drew a 24th-ranked outer sect disciple named Jutou.
Liang Chong is the strongest giant disciple under Yang Dingjun, ranked 6th, who has had a rare encounter and cultivated a body-refining technique, possessing immense physical strength. He once fought against Yang Dingjun with his bare hands and didn't fall behind after three palm strikes, his power is truly formidable.
He drew out a token from the box with the number 27 written on it, which made Liang Chong slightly frown and sigh in his heart for not having drawn Xuan Tian.
However, Elder Han took the token and loudly shouted: "Round 6, Match 6, No. 6 Liang Chong vs No. 467 Huang Tian, Arena 6."
What? Liang Zhongda was shocked, but immediately overjoyed in his heart. He cast a grateful glance at Han Changlao and thought to himself: Huang Tian, your good fortune has come to an end. I will let you know what it means to be ruined.
Hearing Elder Han's voice, Xuan Tian looked at him with a puzzled expression.
In the fourth round, he met Fan Hong of the 10th repair; in the fifth round, he met Du Wenke, ranked 11th; in the sixth round, he met Liang Chong, ranked 6th.
Xuantian's opponent, one round more formidable than the last, shocked all the outer sect disciples, and Xuantian was equally perplexed.
Xuantian's doubts are correct. The fourth round encounter with Fan was unexpected, but the fifth and sixth rounds were deliberately arranged by the sect.
All outer disciples have arrived at the 6th arena. Xuan Tian is facing Liang Zhong, this will be another intense battle.
Liang Chong ranks 6th, with the strength to compete for the top five. Even if he breaks into the top three, no one will think it's unexpected. Compared to Du Wenke, he is even more outstanding.
Xuantian won against Du Wenke, whether he can win against Liang Chong is completely unknown.
Ring 6, Xuantian and Liang Chong stood facing each other ten meters apart.
As a junior brother, Xuan Tian gave a courtesy call in advance: "Junior Brother Huang Tian, please ask Elder Brother Liang Chong for guidance."
Liang Chong was about eighteen years old, his height was over two meters, and he held a sword in his hand that was wider, thicker, longer and heavier than normal swords.
Seeing Liang Zhong, Xuan Tian thought of the third master of Fu Wei Gang, who was also so powerful and majestic. However, compared to Liang Zhong, the third master was far inferior. Even ten third masters wouldn't be a match for Liang Zhong.
Liáng Zhòng gazed down at Xuán Tiān, his eyes casting a disdainful glance, saying: "You were able to defeat Dù Wén Kè, truly beyond my expectations. However, this round you've encountered me, your end has arrived."
Liang Zhong mentioned Du Wenke, Xuan Tian asked: "Are you also a person of Yang Shixiong?"
Liang Zhong did not refute and said, "Although Master Yang wanted to personally settle with you, unfortunately, you were encountered by me first. I will replace Master Yang to settle with you."
The Frost Sword was drawn from its scabbard, and Xuan Tian said calmly, "You're still not skilled enough for this!"
Liang Jun's eyebrows furrowed and he snorted in anger, saying: "If you have the ability, try it out and you'll know. You make the first move."
Looking at Xuan Tian, Liang Zhong was extremely confident, with a strong demeanor, looking down on the weak.
Liang Zhong was so heavy that Xuan Tian didn't show any courtesy. As soon as Liang Zhong's voice fell, Xuan Tian kicked the ground with one foot, and his whole body shot out like a hunting leopard, with one sword slanting out, and it was another opening move of the Wind Chasing Sword Technique - the sword rose like the wind.
"A minor skill!"
Liang Zhong's disdainful voice rang out, the heavy sword in his hand bursting with light, one sword slashing down, carrying a dazzling sword aura, directly slashing at Hanshu Sword.
The swords clashed, emitting a hissing sound in mid-air.
Liang Zhong's physical strength was quite impressive, capable of withstanding the pure Yang energy of Yang Dingjun's Great Completion Realm. This single sword strike was incredibly powerful, unmatched by anyone, and even Bai Zhanghe and Zhang Long were unwilling to clash with Liang Zhong head-on, instead seeking to defeat him through clever means.
Xuantian was no exception, just as the two swords were about to collide, Xuantian's foot moved and his wrist shook, the Frost Sword suddenly drew a trajectory, like a gust of wind, bypassing Liangzhong's heavy sword, and stabbed towards Liangzhong's chest.
Liang Zhong was shocked, Xuan Tian's sword was like the wind, and the wind could not be split. No matter how powerful Liang Zhong's sword was, the wind would flow faster with the momentum of his sword.
So, Liang Zhong's heavy sword, seemingly powerful and fierce, however, did not achieve even half the effect. Xuan Tian's one sword, bypassed his heavy sword, causing his entire body to feel a chill, producing an intense crisis.
Even if Liang Zhong's physical skills are enhanced, it is impossible for him to be immune to swords and guns. Moreover, the Frost Snow Sword in Xuan Tian's hand is a famous sword with unparalleled sharpness, and no matter how strong Liang Zhong is, one sword can take his life.
Liang's eyes widened in shock, his foot retreated, and the heavy sword in his hand swept across his body, casting a series of sword shadows in front of him, like a layer of sword curtains.
In one move, Liang Zhong changed from offense to defense and retreated two steps.
The onlookers were all astonished, for Xuan Tian's single sword move was so mysterious and unpredictable that it defied the ordinary.
In the distance, Li Yichang, also known as "Yaojian", was watching the match on the arena, his eyes suddenly flashing with intense light. Watching Xuantian's swordsmanship, his fighting spirit greatly increased. As a swordsman, Li Yichang was known for his eccentric and unpredictable techniques, unmatched among the outer sect disciples.
However, Li Yi often saw a sword that was no weaker than his own mysterious and profoundness when he retreated from Xuan Tian's counterattack against Liang Chong.
A heavy sword curtain blocks Liang Zhong's path, layered and stacked, seemingly impenetrable except by brute force.
However, the Xuantian's Frost Sword in his hand swept across, just like a raging wind, and as long as there was an opening, it would blow in.
A strange scene unfolded, and Hanshu Sword pierced through Liang Zhong's sword curtain in an instant, without making a sound, and stabbed directly at Liang Zhong's throat.
The sword had not yet arrived, but a chill ran down Liang's spine and reached his throat.
Liáng's eyes widened in shock, his hair stood on end, and a cold sweat broke out instantly on his back.
Tap tap tap!
Liang Chong continuously retreated three steps before dodging Xuan Tian's throat-piercing sword.
Xuantian stepped forward, his body following closely behind, tightly pursuing the enemy. One move, with twists and turns, the Frost Snow Sword stabbed out three times amidst the lightning and sparks.
Liáng Zhòng Yù was extremely depressed, he had great power but couldn't even touch Xuán Tiān's sword, let alone his body. His brute strength was completely unable to be unleashed, and under Xuán Tiān's sword, he was forced to retreat step by step, looking utterly disheveled.
Xuan Tian's sword came straight at him with three swift strikes, forcing Liang Zhong to retreat. Seizing the opportunity, he swung his heavy sword down, aiming to knock Xuan Tian's sword out of his hand with a single blow. If he could just dislodge Xuan Tian's sword, defeating him would be within reach.
In an instant, the heavy sword chopped down onto the Frost Sword.
However, there was no expected sound of metal clashing, and the Frost Sword retreated like the wind, following the direction of the heavy sword's slash.
The screen was extremely strange, it seemed that Liang Zhongyi's sword had cut off Xuantian's Frost Sword, but in fact, the Frost Sword had been actively moved away by Xuantian, almost sticking together with the heavy sword, yet still differing by a hair's breadth.
The sword of cold snow is like the wind, no matter how fast and heavy the sword cuts, it's always off by a hair's breadth, unable to touch.
Ding!
A soft sound, Xuan Tian leaned the Cold Snow Sword against the Heavy Sword, the distance between the two swords changed from a hair's breadth to being stuck together. The collision at such close range had almost no fluctuation in power.
Liáng zhòng de mán lì, yòu méi yǒu qǐ dào rèn hé zuò yòng.
Translation:
The great brute force also did not have any effect.
Just as the two swords were about to touch, Xuan Tian's arm rotated and the Frost Sword immediately spun around, sweeping to the side.
A small whirlwind of force was generated, following the heavy sword's momentum, to one side. The heavy sword suddenly tilted and moved aside, opening the middle gate.
The Frost Snow Sword was as light as the wind and soft as water. Along with the heavy sword, it sliced through in an instant, cutting to the hilt of the sword.
Liang Zhongda was shocked and hastily withdrew his hand, with a clang, the heavy sword fell to one side.
The Frost Snow Sword continued its speed unabated, from bottom to top, and continued to slash towards Liang Chong.
Liang Chong stepped back repeatedly, and just heard a "chi" sound. Blood splattered, and his left chest transmitted a severe pain. Liang Chong let out a miserable hum, but the speed of his retreat was still slower than Xuan Tian's sword. He was cut by Hanxue Sword on his left chest.
A wound from the left chest to the shoulder, Liang Zhong's body retreated more than ten meters backwards, covering his left chest wound, and directly fell off the stage.
In the sixth round, Xuan Tian played against Liang Chong and won, advancing to the seventh round.
It's a long story, but the duel between Xuantian and Liangzhong lasted only for over a dozen breaths. Xuantian's sword moves were unpredictable, and Liangzhong couldn't defend against them. Not only was his sword knocked out of his hand, but he was also stabbed in the chest and fell off the stage.
Under the stage, a sound of inhaling cold air was heard.
Just over a dozen breaths, and he defeated the powerful Liang Zhong. All the outer sect disciples were already stunned.
