People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 563 Six Harmonies vs. Eight Trigrams

As time passed, the audience seats began to buzz with noise once again, but the various live streaming rooms were even more lively.

The popularity of the Qianlong Cup is undeniable. In no time, all kinds of comments flew by, with many people spamming things like: "Really?!" faithfully repeating the same thing over and over.

They couldn't sense any imposing presence through the screen; they only saw Li Qi casually glance at them, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

Many people even wondered if this was rehearsed beforehand, but upon closer examination, getting more than 500,000 people to cooperate seemed like an impossible task.

Even the legendary user of the Face Fruit probably doesn't have this much face.

Soon after, Cang Yueming also appeared. He held his knife, closed his eyes, and walked steadily to his position. It seemed that everything in the arena was irrelevant to him. His world consisted only of himself and the knife in his arms.

Any expert could sense that Cang Yueming's aura was growing stronger and more terrifying each day.

But considering Li Qi's even more terrifying strike on the altar, it's quite reasonable for the opponent to be so prepared.

The more Cang Yueming acted this way, the more many experts felt that Li Qi was outrageous. He was a Seven Immortal who had broken through three levels of limits, crossed realms to fight four levels of Seven Immortals, and even made the opponent enter a state of flow.

This ten thousand years of unparalleled fighting is of extremely high value.

Even at this time, some people were thinking that if Li Qi were given another six years, and he were the same age as the Three Saints, he might actually be able to cross the boundary and fight the Three Saints.

However, chaos breeds monsters. Now, humanity is enjoying great fortune, divine authority is at play, and holy marks and divine seals are descending. A terrifying calamity is about to arrive. The only peaceful thing is the material world. In fact, this is already a chaotic world, and all sorts of powerful figures are emerging.

While it's certainly exaggerated to see someone like Li Qi appear, it's still within the realm of what people can accept.

After all, if you really think about it, the Dao Venerable who made a fleeting appearance not long ago was even more outrageous; he was less than twenty years old and killed a half-saint in one move.

Li Qi's various strengths are clearly visible to experts, which is quite conservative compared to the monster Dao Zun.

It was at this moment that, accompanied by the distant, resonant sound of an ancient bell, the final of the Qianlong Cup officially began.

As the names scrolled wildly on the big screen, the room immediately fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Five seconds later, the name on the big screen froze.

Jiang Xinyuan VS Gong Zhengyang

Of the two, Jiang Xinyuan had fought Li Qi before and broke through to the second level. This person followed the path of martial arts Zen.

The mind is in harmony with the six directions, free from thought and desire!
Gong Zhengyang, on the other hand, was at the same level, following the path of establishing the Dao through the Eight Phases. His sword transformed into eight phases and eight directions, constantly changing and coming together.

Following the natural order, all things unfold; reversing it, they return to the origin!

The martial arts skills of these two individuals have been evident to all during this period. In fact, in terms of skill level, their two advanced realms can be ranked among the top fifteen in the final competition.

Therefore, the appearance of these two people, also in the live broadcast room, sparked a discussion.

Then, in less than thirty seconds, the two were already on stage. A sixty-second countdown began, but neither spoke, only gathering their strength until the sixty seconds were up, at which point another three seconds of the countdown started. Then, the instant the timer reached zero, within five seconds, the two masters exchanged thirty-seven blows, and Gong Zhengyang lost an arm and was eliminated.

As the competition progressed, the battle became increasingly fierce and brutal. When the difference in martial arts skills was huge before, it was possible to defeat the enemy without harming anyone. But in this situation, where are the weak?!

In fact, with their speed, they could do more than ten strikes per second. However, that would only be fast, which is useful against the weak, but lacks momentum and power. Against a true master, it would just be a circus act, with no real lethality.

Only by slowing down can the power and force of the knife reach their peak.

Of course, what they call slow is ridiculously fast compared to ordinary people.

What ordinary people can see is the changing light and shadow, and feel the powerful, surging, and constantly colliding aura. Just looking at the moves is meaningless.

The brilliance of skill is limited, but the brilliance of intention and spirit undoubtedly far surpasses that of material objects.

After that, there were several more sessions, and then, on the big screen, the two names were displayed once again.

Bai Yunwei VS Hong Zhiyu

With these two names finalized, the curiosity of countless people was instantly piqued.

This time, the person who generated the most discussion in the Nanzhou Qianlong Cup, besides Cang Yueming and Li Qi, is Hong Zhiyu, who, like Cang Yueming, joined the competition halfway through.

The top ten sects and thirty-three sects in the world all had a spot that could directly enter the semi-finals, and the imperial court certainly couldn't be left out, since it was the organizer of the competition. No one thought there was anything wrong with this privilege.

Hong Zhiyu, being the thirteenth princess of the empire, bearing a striking resemblance to the emperor, and possessing unparalleled genius and exceptional martial arts skills, naturally enjoys immense popularity.

Even so, her popularity was still lower than Li Qi and Cang Yueming, which shows that in this world, strength ultimately speaks, otherwise even a princess cannot reach the peak.

However, Hong Zhiyu has never encountered any formidable figures, which is somewhat regrettable.

At this point, she finally encountered a master of the same realm who had broken through the third level of the limit. In addition, her opponent was also a very popular genius and beautiful girl. The battle between the two beautiful girls naturally attracted more attention.

Even in Li Qi's previous life, some competitions specifically brought in amateur pretty girls to fight. To say that those who watched the competitions were there to see the fighting was simply unbelievable.

At that moment, the chat rooms exploded with comments, with countless people spamming: "Start fighting! Start fighting already!"
At this moment, Li Qi had also looked over. His mind was now free from the illusion of form and formlessness, and he was not misled by appearances. At a glance, his mind was not turbulent or distracted, but only appreciated the splendor of life.

One is a peerless genius created by the Xuan Emperor through defying fate, and the other is a celestial star created by the Saint through even more heaven-defying means. In a sense, this is also a duel between the Saint and the King in terms of methods.

Bai Yunwei is just one person and cannot represent the level of a Saint. If we really want to show the level of a Saint, we should replace Bai Yunwei with Meng Wujie, that would be more reasonable.

But this means Hong Zhiyu will have no chance to fight.

Li Qi's gaze was undoubtedly powerful. Even though Li Qi himself did not exude any aura, when he looked at it with his heart, an invisible force was revealed, making the two people who were standing on the stage feel an invisible pressure.
