The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 45: Defeat Wu Liangyu Again

The leader of Feitian Demon Sect, Mo Tianxing, smiled faintly and didn't care much. He said to himself: "This year, my Feitian Demon Sect has at least six disciples who can be ranked on the Hidden Dragon List. In terms of number alone, it can be said to be the first among the seven sixth-grade sects."

The other six sixth-grade sects were similar to the Feitian Demon Sect, or even worse than the Feitian Demon Sect.

Except for Xuankong Mountain which has five members who can be firmly included in the Hidden Dragon List, other sixth-grade sects basically have three or four members.

The only regrettable thing is that the eldest disciple Mo Yan is not living up to his expectations.

Perhaps he will be the last one ranked among the seven sixth-grade disciples of the sects.

"Yes, Sect Master, leaving aside our eldest disciple Mo Yan, Gu Yuan, Liang Yu, and the core disciples Qin Xuan who is ranked fourth and Lan Si who is ranked fifth, are all set to be included in the Hidden Dragon List. However, this Qingcheng, she..."

The Grand Elder of the Feitian Demon Sect, a sturdy old man, said hesitantly.

Mo Tianxing naturally knew that Murong Qingcheng was hiding her strength, but considering her special situation, he didn't know what to say. He just said lightly: "She may have her own considerations. Let's talk about everything after the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition is over."

After a break of about an hour, the second round of eliminations began.

According to the competition rules, any two of the twelve groups can be combined into one group.

I don’t know if it was too much of a coincidence, but the group five that Gu Yuan, Wu Liangyu and Mo Yan were in merged with the group that Murong Qingcheng was in.

The group number is still five, but it is not because Gu Yuan and others' group is group five.

Rather, it is because these two groups are the fifth group to merge.

Unlike the previous uneven numbers, each group now has twenty-four, and still only twelve people advance, which means that half of the twenty-four will be eliminated.

As for the twelve who advanced, no matter what their strength was, they were all masters of this year's Hidden Dragon List competition.

That's why Gu Yuan said that the fact that Zhuang Fei in the original novel was able to make the list was largely due to luck.

In fact, Zhuang Fei is indeed quite lucky.

Because there are indeed not many masters, Murong Qingcheng, Wu Liangyu, Teng Mo, the second prince of the Black Dragon Empire, and a master from the previous year who has reached the Baoyuan realm, plus Gu Yuan, an ultra-standard peak warrior in the middle stage of the Ningzhen realm, there are only seven people who have the strength above the Baoyuan realm.

In other words, as long as Zhuang Fei's luck is not too bad, there is still a certain chance of advancing.

After all, among the warriors at the peak level of the late Condensation Realm, he is considered a master.

"First round, first match, Wu Liangyu versus Gu Yuan."

Unexpectedly, the two people from the same group met. The atmosphere in the audience suddenly became heated.

Gu Yuan was not too surprised by this. Currently, the contestants are divided into six groups, with twenty-four people in each group. The twenty-four people will play ten rounds, and each person will have ten opponents. In other words, after the entire second stage of the elimination match, Gu Yuan's probability of facing Wu Liangyu is more than 40%.

Meeting now can be said to be a coincidence, or it can be said to be expected.

"The two men from the Feitian Demon Sect are finally going to face off. It is said that Gu Yuan defeated Wu Liangyu in the Feitian Demon Sect's inner disciple ranking competition two months ago. I don't know who has the better skills."

“I don’t know. Although Gu Yuan has outstanding talent and has comprehended the sword intent at a young age, Wu Liangyu has now entered the Bao Yuan realm and his strength is far superior to what it was before. It is still unknown whether Gu Yuan can still win. After all, the strength Wu Liangyu showed before is much stronger than the second prince of the Black Dragon Empire.”

A pair of huge black wings stretched out from behind him, and Wu Liangyu hovered above the arena, looking down at Gu Yuan from above.

"Hmph, as long as you keep your distance, you won't pose any threat to me." The last defeat to Gu Yuan was a big blow to Wu Liangyu, so in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, he kept a distance of hundreds of meters from the opponent in the air from the beginning. As long as Gu Yuan made the slightest move, he could use the speed-enhancing effect of the Black Crow Technique.

Wu Liangyu had plenty of time to react and would not give Gu Yuan even the slightest chance.

In the first row of the audience, Taoist Black Crow nodded with satisfaction. Wu Liangyu was right to do this. Only when the distance was big enough could the advantages of the Black Crow Technique be brought into full play.

It seems that after the last failure, this disciple of mine has grown a lot.

At least he is no longer as arrogant as before.

Gu Yuan didn't care too much about Wu Liangyu's distance. When the other party entered the Baoyuan realm, he didn't stand still. He not only increased his sword intent to 20%, raised the three-turn heavy yuan Gong to the ninth level, but also integrated the seven styles of the Nine Swords of Gale.

Most importantly, he also learned the Ghost Shadow Technique, which made Wu Liangyu's speed advantage disappear in front of him.

Distance doesn’t matter now.

"Hurricane of Death!"

Wu Liangyu made his move, still using the Death Hurricane, but this time the pitch-black arc-shaped slashing wave was more concentrated and condensed. It was several times more powerful than the Death Hurricane in the inner disciples ranking competition two months ago.

In the blink of an eye, a hurricane-like black light wave formed and raged towards Gu Yuan, covering the sky and the earth, leaving no way to dodge.

puff!

A strange sound of cloth tearing was heard, and a pitch-black scratch appeared in the black light. The scratch quickly expanded, and Gu Yuan walked out of it with a sword in his hand, unharmed.

Wu Liangyu's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously flapped his wings and pushed back quickly.

Swish!
A jet-black sword energy rubbed against his protective Qi and flew past, slashing heavily on the light of the sealing platform, causing ripples.

"Let's see how you can break through this time, Death Storm!"

With the wings and the two scimitars in his hands, the death hurricane was instantly upgraded to a terrifying death storm. Dense arc-shaped slashing waves intertwined softly, almost filling the entire arena, and bombarded Gu Yuan with the momentum to destroy all things.

Wu Liangyu believed that with this attack, Gu Yuan would definitely be defeated.

Gu Yuan stretched out his right leg and took a step forward.

The next moment, he had arrived in front of the black storm, and then, using the Wind Demon Slash as a guide, he held the Fire Scale Sword in his right hand and slashed it diagonally.

Stab it!

There was a flash of pitch-black sword light in the void, and the black storm was split into two, like a curtain being drawn. Wu Liangyu, who was behind the curtain, didn't even have time to react. His protective Qi was split by the sword, and he somersaulted several times in the air, with his back pressed against the Fengtai light curtain mountain and slid down.

“It seems that Gu Yuan has made great progress not only in his artistic conception.” Mo Tianxing, the leader of the Feitian Demon Sect, said in surprise.

Although Gu Yuan had used sword intent many times before, at that time, he had only used about 10% of the sword intent, which was equivalent to someone who had just comprehended the sword intent, and his artistic conception was reserved. Very few people noticed this, almost no one. Now that his opponent is Wu Liangyu, who has entered the Baoyuan realm, naturally there is no need to hide his strength too much.

The elder of the inner sect of Feitian Demon Sect sighed: "Sword intent is more elusive than artistic conception, and it is a great test of one's understanding and talent. Gu Yuan was able to improve his sword intent on the basis of improving his artistic conception. Compared with him, Liang Yu is far behind."
