Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 166 Li Yi
Wiping Sword Realm, Central District.

Zhuluping.

A robust and handsome young man was sitting on a small earthen mound, with a huge halberd slung across his back.

He was holding a map in his hand, and his expression was somewhat troubled.

"Why is no one coming...? Isn't this the central area?"

With no fights to fight, he was bored out of his mind and itching to get back to work.

The token at his waist bore the gleaming number: eighty-nine.

He is Li Yi.

In such a fascinating competitive environment, and under such rules of combat.

As an extreme warmonger, Li Yi, unable to enter a fighting state, was in a state of anxiety every minute and every second, feeling that he was "wasting his life and time".

"Thinking about it now, it was much more exciting on the battlefield..."

Recalling the days when I followed General Xiao to lead troops into battle, I felt the oppressive feeling of thousands of troops surging towards me.

A flicker of excitement flashed in Li Yi's eyes.

Later, by a twist of fate, he stepped into the world of cultivation. He originally thought that the battle between immortals would be very interesting.

However, in reality, there was no battle between immortals at all.

He had originally applied to go to Changping, but because he was going to join Bamofeng and there were various assessments ahead, he was unable to pass the application.

The closest thing to a super war was probably a man named Song Yan, who provoked the Xuan Yuan Sect several times.

However, they didn't end up fighting.

When we usually go to Wipe Sword Peak to spar, it's always just small-scale fighting.

Now that I have advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining, it is even more so.

There were very few cultivators in the Qi Refining stage who could actually exchange a few blows with him, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators ignored him completely.

He's only thinking about breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm as soon as possible so he can have a proper exchange with the seniors of Demon-Slaying Peak.

"This is boring."

At the very first moment the sword-wielding began, he was teleported to the edge of the southwestern region.

He believes that due to the rules governing the implementation of the ban, people will eventually gradually move towards the central region.

And so he cut his way from the edge of the southwest region all the way to Zhuluping, the very center of the Wiping Sword Area.

However, he was somewhat surprised to find that there were not many people in the central area at this time.

After he had cut them all down, he looked at the tokens and, including those unlucky guys from before, there were only eighty-nine tokens left.

This made him a little dissatisfied.

"What the hell have all these people been doing?!"

He complained.

Extremely boring.

But the thought that in a few hours, all the survivors would be engaged in a massive free-for-all here made him so excited he wanted to cry.

He rubbed his hands together, about to put the map away.

Suddenly, I noticed a mark on the map.

"Huh? Someone's here!"

Li Yi's eyes lit up.

The spiritual energy fluctuations from the southeast caused him to spring up from the ground.

He grabbed the halberd from his back and headed straight for the southeast.

"Huh? Senior Brother Li?"

The disciple was startled, but upon recognizing the newcomer, his face lit up with joy: "It's me! Do you remember me? I am..."

Let's put on a show first!

"Hey, wait! Senior Brother Li, please have mercy..."

……

Eight and a half hours have passed since the start of the sword-wielding competition.

The penultimate movement of the restriction has already ended.

Currently, the only areas available for cultivators to operate are the central Chasing Deer Plain and the four surrounding terrain areas.

After several fierce battles, only about seventy cultivators remain.

Some of these are cultivators who are still wandering on the outermost edge, waiting to pick up bargains.

Some of them are powerful figures who have established their own strongholds on the outskirts of the central area.

Another group consists of lucky individuals who wander around and somehow manage to remain in the realm.

It is due south at this moment.

A dense forest on the edge of the restricted area.

Gu Qingqing was walking nervously to the north, glancing back every now and then.

To outsiders, she appeared to be a lone female cultivator, guarding against a sneak attack from behind.

Gu Qingqing's movements were attracting the attention of two cultivators.

"Rustling..." Suddenly, the sound of leaves rustling rang out from the ancient trees on both sides.

"……who?"

Gu Qingqing immediately spoke up, but there was no panic in her voice.

Two figures descended from the tree and stood in front of Gu Qingqing.

Judging from their attire, they are disciples of Tongchen Peak.

Gu Qingqing took a few steps back, looking frightened.

"Hey, junior sister, don't be nervous."

One of them began to speak in a detailed manner: "My name is Chen Youcai, and this is Junior Brother Baihe."

Bai He, standing beside Chen Youcai, bowed slightly, his face warm and gentle.

"We've been looking out for each other, and luckily we haven't been eliminated yet."

"Judging from my junior sister's cultivation level, she is not very advanced, yet she was able to travel here alone. She must be a person with great fortune."

The two chatted casually, but subtly moved closer to Gu Qingqing.

"Sigh... You know, this Sword-Touching Competition is basically just a stage for those genius disciples from various sects to show off."

“There’s no place for us nobody disciples.”

"Perfect timing. I wonder if Junior Sister would be interested in traveling with us, so we can look out for each other."

The two glanced at each other, slightly turning their heads.

Female cultivator.

Sixth level of Qi refining.

Traveling alone.

The waist tag only has the number "2".

All these factors combined made it feel like the spirit runes were free for the two of them.

"Junior sister, where did you come from? Didn't you meet anyone?"

The monk named Baihe asked the question while casually taking out a map and glancing at it.

It sounds like they're checking the terrain, but actually, it's just to make sure there's no one else in the area.

"I've met two senior brothers."

Gu Qingqing seemed to have lowered her guard, and she gently shook her head.

"My name is Gu Qingqing. I have not encountered any other fellow disciples along the way."

Really lucky.

Looking at both maps, there is indeed no one else nearby.

Baihe grinned and said in a low voice.

"Senior Brother Chen, today is a lucky day for both of us."

Chen Youcai leisurely walked to Gu Qingqing's side, and a faint spiritual light began to gather in his palm.

“Junior Sister Gu, your two senior brothers will tell you a lesson today, and that is…”

"Wait a minute."

Gu Qingqing suddenly spoke, a cunning glint in her eyes.

"Qingqing doesn't understand these things."

She chuckled, revealing two small tiger teeth: "If you have any reasoning, go tell my Senior Brother Song!"

"Ok?"

hum-

A streak of black and white light shot out from who-knows-where!

The inspiration came so quickly, and since both of them were focused on Gu Qingqing, they didn't have time to react.

laugh.

The Unbound Boat is blessed by its natal flying sword.

The faint protective spiritual energy on the two was instantly shattered, and the spirit-patterned jade pendants at their waists fell to the ground.

"Come."

The two jade pendants slowly floated away behind Gu Qingqing.

"Who?!"

The two were shocked and quickly activated their spiritual energy to protect themselves, while simultaneously reaching for the two jade tablets in the air.

rustling—

The surging sword energy stirred up the fallen leaves on the ground, and a figure appeared behind the two of them without them noticing.

I gently patted them on the back.

"Senior brothers, may I borrow your spirit runes for a moment..."

I hope you won't take it to heart.
