The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 27: Sword Duel
In the tenth match of the sixth round, Lin Yang met Tang Wei. Knowing that Tang Wei was a ruthless person, he admitted defeat decisively.

But the other inner disciples who did not admit defeat were not so lucky. They were all beaten badly by him, with broken bones.

In the eighth round, the ninth game, it was Gu Yuan's turn again.

"Junior Brother Gu, I didn't expect that we would meet so soon, but I won't let you down. You better be careful next time."

This time, Gu Yuan faced Ling Xue, the seeded player in the group. She was wearing a black robe for a female inner disciple of the Feitian Demon Sect, with a black sword on her waist, looking heroic.

"As it should be. Please."

Gu Yuan also had a long sword on his waist, signaling the other party to attack first.

call out!
The next moment, Ling Xue moved, and the whole person was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, rushing towards Gu Yuan at a high speed.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between them was shortened to five steps.

"Lock the soul!"

It was not until this moment that Ling Xue drew her sword. As soon as the sword came out of the sheath, the twisted black sword light seemed slow but was actually fast, like an evil spirit from the abyss, which made people feel fear.

Several inner disciples who had fought against Ling Xue before turned pale. They were defeated by this sword. The fear from the deepest part of their hearts and the feeling of being at a loss were still fresh in their memory. It was imprinted deep in their minds.

Everyone says Ling Xue is kind to others.

But when it comes to real fighting, he is no more ruthless than the other ten inner sect disciples.

Because Ling Xue was practicing the Ghost Shadow Sword Technique, a high-level earth-level martial art taught by an inner sect elder of the Feitian Demon Sect.

He is one of the very few among the ten inner sect disciples, besides Wu Liangyu, who practices high-level earth-level martial arts.

"I'm afraid her strength is more than what it seems. Perhaps among the ten inner sect disciples, except for Wu Liangyu, she is the one who hides the most."

Clang!
Under the nervous and excited gazes of the crowd, Gu Yuan also drew his sword. The angle of the sword was incredible and the speed was incredible, as if he had predicted the trajectory of Ling Xue's sword in advance.

With a ding, Ling Xue's sword was blocked and failed. She didn't care and was about to strike with the second sword to suppress her opponent.

But Gu Yuan was the first to launch a counterattack.

"The sword stack is brilliant!"

Although the Eclipse Sword Technique is only an intermediate-level earth-level sword technique, it is extremely powerful in Gu Yuan's hands. A stunning sword light pierced through the void and then transformed into sword energy, going straight for Ling Xue's left shoulder.

"What!" The oncoming sword energy gave Ling Xue the feeling of a dazzling little sun, extremely hot and sharp, burning through her mind.

At this moment, Ling Xue did not dare to hold back any longer, and she rose from the ground and struck down with her sword. She actually emitted sword energy.

Snap! Snap! Snap! .
The sword energies of the two men touched each other, cutting the platform into pieces, and the hard stone pillars at the edge broke at the touch.

The two groups of inner disciples who were competing on the nearby platform noticed this scene, voluntarily paused the competition, retreated to the edge of the other side of the platform, and tried their best to support their body protection Qi to resist.

Even the other groups either stopped or quickly dealt with their opponents and stood by to watch.

"What a thrilling duel. Every sword strike is so dangerous. I'm afraid that ordinary warriors at the peak of the late Condensation Realm are not even a match for them."

"This Gu Yuan is really amazing. When he was in the outer sect, he was known as the number one genius in the outer sect. Now he can easily block Senior Sister Ling Xue's Ghost Shadow Sword Technique. His talent is so strong that it is simply shocking."

This series of actions happened in a flash, and many people did not see how the two sides fought, it was so fast that it was terrifying. On the other side, the inner sect elder who taught Ling Xue the Ghost Shadow Sword Technique and the inner sect chief elder sat together.

The Inner Sect's Great Elder laughed and said, "Your disciple is in danger."

Master Ling Xue was a mature and beautiful woman who looked to be about thirty years old. Although she had only just broken through to the late stage of the Star Realm a few years ago, her strength was second only to the chief elder among the inner sect elders. She smiled confidently and said, "Don't underestimate Ling Xue. In the past year, she has already practiced the Ghost Shadow Sword Technique to the seventh style. Her swordsmanship has improved rapidly, and her strength is more than that."

"Could it be that she has already comprehended the sword's meaning?"

The Inner Sect's Great Elder asked in surprise. The other party's cultivation was weaker than his, but he was one of the few strong men in the Feitian Demon Sect who had comprehended the sword intent.

The reason why the other party values ​​Ling Xue is very simple, that is, she has the potential to comprehend the meaning of sword.

Otherwise, a mere seventeen-year-old inner sect disciple in the late stage of Condensation Realm would not be worthy of being accepted as a personal disciple by an inner sect elder like her.

"It's just half a step of sword intent."

"I see. But that little fellow named Gu Yuan is not as simple as he looks. Perhaps he has comprehended half of the sword intent, or even the true sword intent. You can consider taking him as your disciple."

Since even Taoist Black Crow could see that Gu Yuan was extraordinary, then naturally the two inner sect elders who were in the late Star Realm or even at the peak of the late Star Realm could also see it.

But Master Ling Xue's answer was beyond the Great Elder's expectations. "He was able to touch the edge of the sword's will without any guidance. If I accept him as my disciple, it will only restrict him."

Ling Xue landed lightly on the ground after floating backwards. She looked at Gu Yuan in the distance seriously, "Junior Brother Gu, you are indeed very strong. If we were equal in cultivation, I would never be your opponent. But I will use my full strength next time, so be careful."

"bring it on."

Ling Xue's strength is indeed very strong. So far, the strength he has shown may not be as good as the male Yinfeng Wolf that he killed a few days ago, but compared to the female wolf, it is already not much worse.

If its true strength were to be revealed, it would probably be comparable to a male wolf in its prime.

The most important thing is that she has mastered the intermediate level of earth-level lightness skills.

In a limited area competition platform, even if Gu Yuan's phantom clone had cultivated to a superb level, it would be impossible to escape the opponent's pursuit.

However, the Eclipse Sword Technique alone will not be able to withstand the opponent's subsequent attack.

"This will only expose the sword intent. There is nothing to hide anyway."

In the end, between the two trump cards of Sword Intent and Swift Wind Demon Slash, Gu Yuan chose the former.

"Ghosts!"

Gu Yuan's thoughts were fleeting, Ling Xue had already moved, and this time she did not hold back. She knew that Gu Yuan's swordsmanship was very advanced, and the first six moves of the Ghost Shadow Sword Technique could not do anything to the opponent.

Even if the seventh move is used, the chance of defeating the opponent is not very high.

So she used the half-step sword intent that she had originally intended to use against Wu Liangyu.

A black airflow swept out along with the sword energy. All the inner disciples wielding swords nearby were affected by Ling Xue's Half-Step Sword Intention. The swords on their waists began to tremble for no reason, wanting to fly out of the sheath and merge into Ling Xue's sword momentum. No matter how they suppressed it, they could not stabilize it.

The eyes of the powerful Star Realm masters in the VIP seats were so sharp that they recognized Ling Xue's half-step sword intent at a glance, and their expressions were slightly surprised.
