The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 29: Duel with Wu Liangyu

The game continued, but in the eyes of everyone, the originally exciting battle became dull.

Although the other ten inner sect disciples were quite powerful, with Wu Liangyu even being far better than Ling Xue, they had no equals.

There’s not much point in seeing flash sales too much.

At the elders' table, Elder Li looked at Gu Yuan and said to Taoist Black Crow, "It seems that this time, he is the only one who can compete with your disciple."

Taoist Hei Ya smiled and said, "The sword energy that is integrated with the sword intent is indeed very powerful at the level of Condensation Realm, but it is hard to say whether he can defeat Liang Yu. After all, the sword intent alone cannot make up for the difference in their skills and cultivation. Of course, both Gu Yuan and Liang Yu are at the top of the core disciples, so the competition for the top ten inner disciples is not that important to them."

"makes sense."

Elder Li smiled and did not comment.

The ten rounds of competition ended quickly.

Except for Ling Xue, almost all of the top ten seeded players won first place in their group.

However, Ling Xue's strength is obvious to all. Having comprehended half a step of sword intent, she is already qualified to compete for the top three inner disciples.

It’s just that she is destined not to be the first or the second.

The key is that there is still a big gap between her and the first and second place.

However, it shouldn't be a problem to compete for the first place among the next inner disciples.

However, Lin Yang, because he was promoted to an inner disciple too young and lost too many times, did not advance and was ranked outside the top two or three hundred.

It was noon now.

Taoist Black Crow stood up and announced that the final would be held in the afternoon.

The cafeteria for disciples of the Feitian Demon Sect.

"I never thought that this class would have such a strong man like Senior Brother Gu Yuan. He actually comprehended the sword intent and defeated Senior Sister Ling Xue."

"Senior Sister Ling Xue is not bad either. She became one of the ten inner sect disciples only half a year ago. Strictly speaking, she can be considered a new strong person, and she has also comprehended the half-step sword intent."

"I can only say that Senior Brother Gu Yuan is too strong. When he was an outer sect disciple, he was known as the outer sect's number one genius. Now that he has entered the inner sect, he is bound to shine."

The cafeteria is divided into areas for inner disciples and outer disciples, and the meals are naturally different.

But no matter whether they were inner disciples or outer disciples, they were all talking about Gu Yuan, and unknowingly, Gu Yuan had been given the title of senior brother.

in the afternoon.

The Martial Arts Square was bustling again, even more lively than in the morning.

On the central platform, Taoist Black Crow announced loudly: "The finals are divided into a knockout round and a ranking round, both of which will be ten rounds, and will be decided by random draw. The knockout round will eliminate ninety people, leaving only ten people, and the ranking round will determine the ten major inner disciples of this term. Without further ado, the finals officially begin."

boom!
The audience seats were filled with roars of approval, and everyone was supporting their favorite inner sect disciple.

"First platform, Li Fei versus Wu Yi!"

"On the second platform, Ling Xue versus Ge Long!"

"The seventh platform, Gu Yuan versus Wu Liangyu!"

But contrary to many people's expectations, Gu Yuan actually met Wu Liangyu in the first elimination round. "I really didn't expect that Senior Brother Wu Liangyu and Senior Brother Gu Yuan would face off so soon. Senior Brother Gu Yuan has comprehended the sword intent. Even if he can't win, at least he can force out most of Senior Brother Wu Liangyu's strength!" someone said.

"Yes, if it was someone else, there would be nothing to watch. Even Senior Brother Leng, who ranked second last time, only lasted two moves at the hands of Senior Brother Wu. He was defeated in the third move."

“I don’t know to what extent Senior Brother Gu Yuan can push Senior Brother Wu Liangyu. Let’s wait and see.”

In the minds of most people, Gu Yuan is still unlikely to be Wu Liangyu's opponent. The gap in skills, martial arts and cultivation cannot be made up by sword intent alone.

The deacon who drew lots saw that he had actually drawn Gu Yuan and Wu Liangyu. What's more, the strength of the two of them was obviously beyond that of other inner disciples, enough to be on par with the core disciples. If ten platforms fought at the same time, it would easily hurt innocent people. So he looked at the outer elders including Taoist Black Crow.

"Let these two compete first, and let the others wait for now."

This battle concerns the fate of the first disciple of the inner sect. After Taoist Black Crow looked at the other outer sect elders, he quickly made the decision.

After hearing what his teacher said, Wu Liangyu's aura burst out violently, and his figure flashed, as if an ancient ferocious bird shot onto the arena. His domineering posture was frightening.

Unlike Wu Liangyu's grandiose behavior, Gu Yuan's expression remained calm. He took out the Red Flame Sword from his storage ring and put it around his waist, then walked step by step to the opposite side of Wu Liangyu.

"You are quite capable. I thought this Inner Disciple Ranking Tournament wouldn't see much change. I didn't expect a swordsman like you who has mastered the sword's meaning to appear. This is good, as it saves me from being bored."

Wu Liangyu's robes fluttered, his aura was gathering strength, and a violent aura unique to the Black Crow Technique emanated from him.

"Each each other."

Gu Yuan slowly drew out his sword, and the sword intent gushed out from his body, competing with the violent aura of the Black Crow Technique.

"Hehe, it seems that you are a little too confident in your own strength."

Wu Liangyu's eyes flashed with brilliance, which contained the artistic conception of the Black Crow Art, and fiercely pressed towards Gu Yuan. At the same time, a dark aura stretched out from behind Wu Liangyu. The wings were four or five meters long, lifelike, and the sharp feathers were clearly visible. Wherever they went, the surrounding air was instantly cut.

"Hurricane of Death!"

With a flap of its wings, a pitch-black light glowed brightly, and countless arc-shaped slashing waves superimposed on each other to form a hurricane-like slashing wave group that covered the entire competition platform.

"seal up!"

The fist-sized Fire Kirin on the tip of the sword roared. Gu Yuan's eyes were sharp. He slashed with the sword. The Fire Kirin integrated with the sword intent increased several times and turned into a dense sword net, sweeping out.

Chi Chi Chi.
But after colliding with the slashing waves, it only lasted for a moment before collapsing.

"Humph, you really think that you can block the death hurricane from my Black Crow Technique with just a mere earth-level intermediate sword technique? You are just dreaming."

Wu Liangyu sneered, and the dark light became brighter again. Countless arc-shaped slashing waves overlapped and gathered in the void, forming a hurricane-like black light wave, which raged towards Gu Yuan, covering the sky and the earth, and there was no way to dodge.

"What a great Black Crow technique."

Gu Yuan's eyes were sharp, and his figure flashed as he shuttled between countless arc-shaped slashing waves. These slashing waves were not launched at the same time, some were launched in front and some were launched behind, some were fast and some were slow. Relying on his powerful soul perception, body control ability and speed, Gu Yuan was able to take advantage of the gaps and squeeze in, and he managed to get five steps in front of Wu Liangyu.

"How is it possible that they escaped the death hurricane?"

Including Ling Xue and the other top ten inner disciples of the previous session, all the inner and outer disciples in the audience opened their mouths slightly, stunned.
