The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 111: The New and Old First Swordsman
None of the others reached seven feet.

The dragon energy is basically all concentrated on the top ten seeded players.

On the morning of the fourth day, just as the sky was getting light, the entire Qianlong Ancient City was in a frenzy.

The emotions of all the warriors watching the match were extremely high, because the match had already entered the final nine rounds, and the top ten seeded players would not meet anyone else and would instead face off against each other.

A lot.

Because in the previous 62 rounds, he had defeated 62 people, leaving only nine seeded players besides himself.

Looking down from the sky, one can see a torrent of people heading towards the arena.

At this time, there was still some time before the game.

"Gu Yuan, just give it your all and don't worry too much. And Qing Cheng too. No matter what, you are all the pride of our Feitian Demon Sect."

Inside the luxurious manor, everyone from the Feitian Demon Sect had already finished washing up, and Mo Tianxing said to Gu Yuan and Murong Qingcheng.

As for Mo Yan, any discerning person can see that he has run out of steam.

Not to mention the top five, I can’t even keep the eighth place from last year. I’m either ninth or tenth. I don’t have any hope anymore.

Gu Yuan nodded, "Don't worry, Sect Master, the first place on the Hidden Dragon List belongs to me."

For this day, except for the environmental factors in the first two and a half years, he practiced diligently for nearly five years. If he still couldn't get first place, he might as well just find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

Murong Qingcheng also nodded, "Sect Master, I will also try my best to get into the top five."

"Okay, let's go."

At the competition venue, everyone's eyes were focused on the top ten seeded players, and the rest of the younger generation became mere supporting roles.

"The thirteen referees are indeed very discerning. The top ten seeded players have not lost a single game in the previous sixty-two rounds. They are well-deserved to be in the top ten this time."

"I thought Qian Yun and Gu Youyun had a chance to enter the top ten, but who knew that they not only lost to the old young giants one after another, but also lost to Gu Yuan, Ye Chen, Tuoba Ku and Murong Qingcheng."

"What can we do? The people in front of us are too strong, especially Gu Yuan and Si Kong Sheng. Since the start of the competition, no one has allowed them to show even a little bit of their strength. They are simply too strong."

"I'm really looking forward to the showdown between these two."

As everyone was discussing, the first rays of sunlight shone from the east and fell on the arena. The referee stood up and said, "The sixty-third round begins."

The first match was between Gu Youyun and Qian Yun. Although it was not a duel between young giants, one of them was the second disciple of Xuankong Mountain and the descendant of Shi Wang, the second king of life and death realm in Xuankong Mountain. He had the blood of a king and the top earth-level martial arts, Shi Wang Body Protection Fist.

One is the second disciple of Luoxia Sect, who also masters the top-level earth-level martial arts, Zixia Thunder Palm.

They have also practiced the top-level earth-level skills to the tenth level.

The strength is not far from that of the young giants.

So it is also highly anticipated.

After more than a hundred rounds, Gu Youyun defeated Qian Yun with difficulty using the Stone King Body Protection Fist.

It was a feast for the eyes of the spectators.

But the second game onwards wasn’t that exciting, as it was all matchups between lower ranked teams.

It made everyone a little disappointed.

It was not until the ninth game that two giants came on the court, they were Gu Yuan and Li Daoxuan.

Gu Yuan, the eldest disciple of Feitian Demon Sect, only ranked 20th in the last session, but he showed unparalleled potential and talent. Not only did he spend only a year and a half to surpass Lin Yun, who ranked fifth in the last session, and Mo Yan, who ranked eighth in the last session.

He also raised his sword power to 60% early on.

Now, another year and a half has passed. No one knows how strong Gu Yuan, who has switched to practicing the top-level earth-level martial arts, the Xuanyin Sword Technique, has become.

Even Lin Yun, who had a chance to compete for the top three, was like a child in his hands and had no power to fight back.

Li Daoxuan, the eldest disciple of Wuqing Sect, possesses 60% of the sword power. Before Gu Yuan, he was the undisputed number one swordsman of the younger generation in Nanzhuo Domain.

His swordsmanship is fierce and ruthless, and every move he makes can kill people. He is known as the Ruthless Swordsman.

One is the new number one swordsman, and the other is the former number one swordsman. The fight between the two undoubtedly ignited the blood in the hearts of the spectators.

Many people had dry throats and wide eyes, staring at the two people on the stage.

On the magnificent arena.

The two figures stood together a hundred meters away.

On the left side of the arena, Li Daoxuan was dressed in blue and had a long and narrow sword on his waist. The scabbard was simple with a few patterns on it. On the right side, Gu Yuan was standing upright in black, also with a sword on his waist. The scabbard was carved with scales and was dark in color, looking deep and restrained.

"You are very powerful. I am afraid that no one can be your opponent except Sikong Sheng, so I want to have a pure swordsman duel with you. No matter what the result is, I will automatically admit defeat."

In terms of strength, even if two Li Daoxuans were added together, they would not be able to defeat Gu Yuan.

But high strength does not mean high level of swordsmanship. After all, swordsmanship is only a part of strength.

Compared with strength, Li Daoxuan pays more attention to Gu Yuan's swordsmanship level, and looks for opportunities for his own breakthrough from it.

Gu Yuan said: "Since you challenge me with a sword, it would be against my principles if I don't accept the challenge. Come on, if you can beat me in swordsmanship, it doesn't matter if I lose to you."

Clang!
Li Daoxuan's sword was unsheathed. The sword body could not be seen, only a faint sword light flashed across and disappeared.

But how could this be hidden from Gu Yuan's eyes? He casually pulled out the Huo Lin Sword and swung it lightly. A brilliant and hot sword energy broke through the air and slashed heavily in the void.

The sword light was as invisible as the wind. Although Gu Yuan's sword energy cut off the sword light in an instant, the next moment, the sword light gathered again and slashed towards Gu Yuan's face.

"What a sharp sword move, what a strange wind mood!"

There were many warriors in the audience who had reached a very high level in terms of artistic conception, and some of them were even swordsmen who had comprehended the meaning of sword. When they saw this scene, their eyes narrowed, and the sword light swung out by Li Daoxuan was like a gust of wind.

The wind dissipates, but it is still the wind, or rather, the wind will never dissipate, it always exists.

"good."

Since the start of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, apart from Ye Chen, Li Daoxuan is the first person who has impressed Gu Yuan with his artistic conception.

He swung his sword, and the distance in space seemed to shrink.

Ye Chen in the audience narrowed his eyes slightly. Gu Yuan's move was just like his Void-Breaking Finger at Sheep Head Mountain. They could ignore the distance between them.

However, his Void-Breaking Finger was not even the tip of the iceberg and was completely useless. Gu Yuan's swordsmanship did not contain the artistic conception of space, but the artistic conception of wind, which was even higher than that of Li Daoxuan.

If Li Daoxuan's sword light was just a wisp of light breeze, gathering but not dispersing, then Gu Yuan's move was a gust of gale, the wind was everywhere, and the sword technique was also everywhere.

The raging winds in the sky seemed to transform into sword energy, attacking towards Li Daoxuan.
