The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 108: End of the Knockout Round

"Ye Chen, did Lin Yun really make a mistake just now?" Qin Yulian, the eldest disciple of Nanluo Sect, looked at Ye Chen in confusion.

She had heard Sect Master Long Biyun talk about Gu Yuan. This person was a rare genius in the Feitian Demon Sect. In terms of talent alone, he might not be as good as Queen Xuan, but he was no less than the Evil King back then.

Ye Chen shook his head. There were many powerful people in the Spirit Sea Realm present, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to use his soul power to investigate. Besides, Gu Yuan was also a person with soul talent and could sense his soul power. It would be very impolite to rashly use soul power to investigate the other party.

But his eyesight was not bad. When he released the Blood Flame Breaker earlier, although Lin Yun's breath was a little disordered due to the injury, his energy and spirit were highly concentrated, and there was no possibility of mistake.

Besides, Lin Yun himself said that the Blood Flame Break has been perfected.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, Gu Yuan is so powerful that he can ignore the Blood Flame Break.

"The strength is more terrifying than I thought."

Ye Chen subconsciously touched his dantian in his lower abdomen. At this moment, he was extremely glad that the martial arts he practiced was the Taixuan Gong. If it weren't for the true energy tempered by the Taixuan Gong, even if his sword intent had been improved to 70%, he would not have much chance of winning.

After all, no matter how strong the sword intent is, the increase in attack power is limited.

If you are in a situation of absolute strength, it will be of no avail even if you raise your sword intent to perfection.

The second round of knockouts continues.

Perhaps it was because the brilliance that Gu Yuan had previously displayed was too dazzling, even though many geniuses emerged one after another, everyone seemed to have little interest.

This is like a person who has just tasted the most delicious food in the world. If you ask him to eat ordinary food, it will naturally be tasteless.

It was not until the last few rounds of the second stage elimination match that Ye Chen revealed 50% of his sword intent and defeated Bing Ling.

Tuoba Ku displayed super strong defense and faced Mo Yan's strongest killing move, the Phantom Seven-section Finger. In the end, he only had an eyebrow cut off. The spirits of the spectators became high again.

On the contrary, Gu Yuan always looked very interested and watched each game seriously.

For him, it doesn’t matter whether the game is exciting or not. What really matters to him is whether he can gain insights from it.

Who can guarantee that a person with ordinary talent and strength will not realize the true meaning of martial arts by chance?
Although such incidents are rare, they have happened in the True Spirit Continent.

"Hey, Ling Xue met an opponent?"

In the last round of the second stage knockout stage, Gu Yuan's attention was attracted by the matches of three groups.

The two people on the field were none other than Ling Xue, the fifth disciple of their Feitian Demon Sect. Of course, her current strength had surpassed Wu Liangyu, and perhaps it wouldn’t be long before she would be renamed the fourth disciple.

His opponent is Gao Feng, who had recently been defeated by Ye Chen but defeated Wu Liangyu, a person who had achieved a small level of understanding of sword intent.

Gu Yuan shook his head. Both of them had bad luck. Although their cultivation and sword skills were similar, Gao Feng's use of swordsmanship was obviously more sophisticated. The reason why they were evenly matched now was because Ling Xue's cultivation techniques and martial arts were both at the high earth level.

Gao Feng, on the other hand, suffered from a disadvantage in terms of martial arts level.

"One Hundred Demons Night Attack!"

Ling Xue had a blank expression on her face. She held the low-grade sword in both hands and used a sword move from the Ghost Shadow Sword Technique that made the sword fall from the sky. The sword force was overwhelming. Suddenly, it seemed as if ghost shadows were pouring out from the stage and sweeping towards Gao Feng below.

"Swordsmanship in the air!" Gao Feng used the swordsmanship that had defeated Wu Liangyu. He lifted the sword into the air, his right hand grasped the hilt, and a stunning sword light flashed.

Puff! The ghosts in the sky were shattered, but because Ling Xue had seen this move before, she was prepared. While dodging the sword light, she pierced Gao Feng's body protection with a sword.

"Concession!"

Ling Xue sheathed her sword, fell to the ground and took a deep breath. Even at this moment, she was still frightened, because if she had not seen the sword-drawing technique in the air, she would most likely have lost.

Gao Feng then landed on the stage. He looked down, his chest was a little red, and he said bitterly, "I lost. The Ghost Shadow Sword Technique of the Feitian Demon Sect is indeed worthy of its reputation."

His sword-drawing technique is only at the mid-level earth grade. Only when it is used by surprise can it exert a power that is not inferior to the high-level earth grade martial arts.

But at that time, he had been forced into a state of no return by the opponent's Hundred Demons Night Attack.

If he didn't use the sword-drawing technique, he would be defeated immediately.

This is the advantage of disciples from large sects. When their strength is similar, even if one's fighting skills are better than the other's, they can make up for their weakness with martial arts.

"Ling Xuesheng!"

The three groups of judges showed admiring looks. Although Gao Feng lost, it was rare to find a swordsman with such strong fighting skills.

In addition to the unfathomable Gu Yuan, Ye Chen, who is also a rising star, and Li Daoxuan, the eldest disciple of the Wuqing Sect.

Among the younger generation of swordsmen, Gao Feng has the best fighting skills.

"The number of outstanding disciples of Feitian Demon Sect this year is so high, surpassing other sixth-grade sects by more than one level. In addition to the five core disciples, there are four more disciples who have successfully entered the ranking competition, adding up to nine people. This is more than the previous session, accounting for one-eighth of the places on the Hidden Dragon List, while other sixth-grade sects have no more than five people, and the least is only three."

"In addition to quantity, the quality is also top-notch."

"We can't help it. Who asked the Feitian Demon Sect to have Gu Yuan? In addition to Murong Qingcheng and Mo Yan, two young giants, only Xuankong Mountain where Sikong Sheng is can compete with the Feitian Demon Sect in terms of the quality of disciples."

"That's not necessarily true. The Fire Spirit Prince's strength should not be underestimated. Since the start of the competition, no one has ever been defeated by him. The battle for first place should be between the three of them."

"Maybe not. Tuoba Ku should also be counted in. Mo Yan, who ranked eighth last time, couldn't even break his defense. In the end, he was defeated by a single punch. Isn't this strength enough to compete for the top three?"

Although Ling Xue won the game, unfortunately her strength was obviously inferior to those young giants. So, using her identity, everyone began to discuss the fight between the Feitian Demon Sect and the young giants, and everyone had their own opinions.

Time passes like water.

Half an hour later.

The tenth round has come to an end, and the top twelve in each group will be included in the Hidden Dragon List and become the top players of this session.

Others were disqualified and failed to make the list.

All of them looked gloomy.

"All those who made the list should stand on the competition stage and receive the baptism of the dragon's energy. Don't panic when the time comes. All those who are not relevant should leave."

The chief referee stood up at this time. He was very familiar with the Qianlong Ranking competition and knew some of the mysteries of the Qianlong Ancient City.

Swish swish swish swish.
Upon hearing this, all the eliminated young people withdrew from the competition venue, and the remaining 72 people on the list jumped onto the competition stage.
