The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 44 Murong Qingcheng Lets Go
"Hey, Murong Qingcheng has met her match!"

At this moment, Gu Yuan's attention was attracted by the competition of Group 2. The person on the field was none other than Murong Qingcheng. Her opponent was also not weak, it was Teng Mo who won the 19th place in the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition in the original book.

The martial art he practices is a high-level earth-level sword technique, the Sparking Prairie Sword, but he is much older than Murong Qingcheng, nearly twenty-one years old. If he is a few months older, he will not be able to participate in the next Hidden Dragon Ranking competition.

Being older means having more time to practice.

He has already cultivated the high-level earth-level skills that go with the Sparking Prairie Sword to the ninth level. His overall strength is even stronger than Wu Liangyu's.

On the stage, sword energy was everywhere, palm prints were everywhere, human figures were psychedelic, and the skills were indistinguishable, each with its own merits.

But Gu Yuan shook his head. Murong Qingcheng's Heavenly Demon Art had obviously been cultivated to the seventh level, but she was still fighting the enemy with the sixth level of Heavenly Demon Art. How could she not be defeated?

Sure enough, after more than a hundred rounds.

puff!
The long sword in Teng Mo's hand carried the power of a prairie fire, and with one sword he broke through the demon's force field.

"No need to compete anymore, I lost."

Murong Qingcheng stopped and chose to admit defeat.

Teng Mo was stern. This time his victory was not easy. Even though he was 'one level stronger than his opponent', it was still so difficult to win. If they had another match, he had no confidence of winning.

And she also vaguely felt that the other party was hiding his strength.

I just don’t know why it was hidden in such an important competition as the Hidden Dragon List.

In fact, not only Teng Mo and Gu Yuan could see that Murong Qingcheng was hiding her strength, but any expert present with some insight could see that Murong Qingcheng was hiding her strength.

After all, no matter how much a person's aura is suppressed, once in a battle, clues will inevitably be revealed.

"What's wrong with Murong Qingcheng? It seems like she is hiding her strength."

"Yeah, I feel that way too."

"Maybe I'm not confident of making it to the top ten this time, so I plan to save it for next time."

Everyone was talking and expressing their own views.

Listening to the discussions around him, Gu Yuan looked thoughtful.

At this time, he had already roughly guessed why Murong Qingcheng wanted to hide her strength.

In all likelihood, he hides it because he doesn't dare to show off his brilliant talent and get noticed by the head of the Human-Demon Family in advance.

As for why the next Hidden Dragon List is not hidden.

It should be because the dragon vein energy of the next Hidden Dragon List is at its peak in a thousand years, and I don’t want to miss out on that great fortune, so I want to give it a try.

"Sixth round, Gu Yuan versus Li Bingyan!"

"I surrender."

The young woman with a cold face raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to give up.

"Seventh round, Gu Yuan versus Hu Yue."

"I surrender!"

"The eighth round, Ancient Origin."

"The ninth round, Ancient Origin."

I don't know if it's because Gu Yuan's first four rounds of competition were too shocking, but from the fifth round onwards, all the contestants who played against Gu Yuan chose to give up. They didn't intend to waste time.

As for the other disciples of Feitian Demon Sect who passed the three levels of Longmen, except for the top five core disciples, it seemed extremely difficult for them all.

Among the nine games, the most lost were four or five, and the least lost were two or three.

It might not be a problem to advance to the first round of eliminations, but it is almost impossible to advance to the second round.

"The tenth match, Gu Yuan versus Long Xiaoyun."

Long Xiaoyun did not choose to admit defeat. He was the second prince of the Black Dragon Empire, not an unknown person. In the original novel, he ranked 34th on this year's Hidden Dragon List. He practiced the Black Dragon Empire's top-level earth-level skills and martial arts. He did not think that he would lose to Gu Yuan.

"Take my move, Black Dragon Break!"

hold head high!
A low dragon roar sounded, and Long Xiaoyun spanned dozens of meters and threw out a black dragon-shaped fist, slamming towards Gu Yuan. Driven by this momentum, the air in front was instantly sucked out.

Gu Yuan secretly shook his head in his heart. Compared with the eldest prince of the Black Dragon Empire, the second prince was not a little bit weaker. Although he had cultivated the top-level earth-level skills to the sixth level, this martial art was flashy and impractical.

This top-level earth-level boxing technique was truly wasted in his hands.

Clang!
Two sword lights flashed by, the first sword light cut off the dragon's head, and the second sword light tore through Long Xiaoyun's protective true qi, and the scorching sword pressure blew the opponent away.

"Gu Yuansheng!"

The five groups of referees did not seem to be too surprised by this. They raised their hands and directly announced that Gu Yuan won the final match.

"Awesome. If he didn't make a move, it would be fine. Once he made a move, he ended the battle instantly. Even the Second Prince of the Black Dragon Empire, who practiced the top-level earth-level martial arts, was no match for him. This Gu Yuan is probably already in the top 30 of the Potential Dragon List. It's a pity that his cultivation is a little lacking. Otherwise, I feel that he can be on par with Sikong Sheng from the previous term."

"I don't know if he can be compared to Sikong Sheng, but among the top ten rising stars, he can definitely be ranked tenth."

"It's hard to say. All the newcomers this year are too strong. Whether he can be ranked among the top ten new stars depends on whether he can defeat Wu Liangyu."

In every Hidden Dragon List competition, some extremely gifted geniuses will emerge. If they are outstanding enough, they will be ranked into the top ten rising stars. When the Hidden Dragon List competition is over, those warriors who did not come to watch the competition will know how powerful the rising stars who emerged this time are through their understanding of the top ten rising stars, and will have an intuitive feeling in their hearts. Otherwise, there are so many contestants participating in the competition, and their opinions are different, making it impossible to have a general understanding.

In everyone's mind, there is no doubt that Yan Chihuo ranks first among the top ten new stars. There are many second places. Li Daoxuan, Lin Yun, Bing Ling and Mo Yan, the four sixth-grade sect disciples who are expected to compete for the top five, are ranked in no particular order and occupy four places in the top ten new stars.

Zhang Feng ranked sixth, Gu Qing ranked seventh, Teng Mo ranked eighth, and Murong Qingcheng ranked ninth.

This ranking may not be very accurate, but judging from the current competition, it is almost the same. After all, some people hide their strength and it is impossible to see it.

And the tenth one will be born between Gu Yuan and Wu Liangyu.

The first stage of the elimination round was over. There were three people who won all five groups, namely Gu Yuan, Wu Liangyu, and a seventh-grade sect disciple from Cang Xuan Country.

The three never met in the ten rounds of competition.

Otherwise, there will be one or two fewer people to win.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from losing to Wu Liangyu and Gu Yuan, Wei Dongshe and Zhuang Fei did not encounter any more Baoyuan realm warriors. They only lost one game and advanced safely.

The number of people who won all the games in other groups is about the same as that of Gu Yuan's group.

The largest group only has five people.

After all, sometimes when two strong forces compete, one is bound to lose, there is nothing that can be done about it.

But it is regrettable that in addition to Gu Yuan, Mo Yan, Murong Qingcheng, Wu Liangyu, the Feitian Demon Sect also has two core disciples in the Baoyuan Realm who are ranked fourth and fifth. Although most of the other disciples have advanced, they are basically hopeless in the second stage of the elimination round.

Missed the chance to rank in the top 72 on the Hidden Dragon List.
