Borrowing a sword

Chapter 322 I regard human life as worthless

There will be a one-day rest period after the quarterfinals of the East-West Continental Championship.

However, it was during this day of rest that the controversy caused by Chu Huaixu quickly escalated.

In fact, many people, when embellishing the story, have even included His Majesty the Moon Emperor.

"Have you heard? Chu Huaixu's actions have infuriated His Majesty!"

"I heard! His Majesty even threw down his pen in the Imperial Study and said, 'Does this brat think that my Yue Kingdom has no one to rely on?'"

What the people of Yue Kingdom find even more unbearable is that the Taoist sect still occupies half of the top eight spots.

This has led to many rumors also containing elements of internal morale-boosting content.

As His Highness the Crown Prince said, he is determined to win this time and avenge his previous defeat; he is very confident of victory!

Upon learning of this, Qin Xuanxiao was speechless.

But as a member of the royal family and hailed as the number one genius of the younger generation in the Moon Kingdom, he had no choice but to shoulder this responsibility and burden.

Moreover, while others were unaware of the inside story, he was.

"Grandpa is indeed in a very bad mood."

There was nothing they could do; after all, the Moon Kingdom was the host of this grand competition.

There is still some home advantage.

In this situation, it's truly embarrassing that the number of players from the Mirror Country still exceeds that of the top eight.

This made the atmosphere somewhat somber during the lottery the following day.

Both Lin Zixuan and Leng Wuyai felt a lot of pressure.

Chu Huaixu was all too familiar with this.

He knew the saying: In competitive sports, being bad is the original sin.

The nature of the competition is actually somewhat similar.

Ordinary people don't care about all that.
They only care about the final result, only about the final win or loss!

This also applies to ordinary disciples of the Moon Kingdom Monastery and various sects.

This is a disgrace to the entire Western Continent!
It's no wonder everyone's cursing behind their backs.

Lin Zixuan and Leng Wuyai were both praying silently when they drew lots.

"You must draw Geng Tianhe or Ji Sikong."

"Please!"

The leading figure of the younger generation of the prestigious Sword Sect has actually become a pushover in everyone's eyes.

Little did they know that Geng Tianhe was now the only remaining member of the Sword Sect, and he was under a lot of pressure.

Moreover, he was eliminated quite early in the Eastern Continent Grand Competition of the First Realm.
"I absolutely have to draw either Leng Wuyai or Lin Zixuan!"

"Brother Ji, although I feel bad about it, it's alright!"

"Please!" Old Geng prayed silently.

In the end, he and Lin Zixuan ended up going to each other, drawing the same number, 1.

Ji Sikong drew Xu Ziqing's number, and both of them had the number 4, which can be considered an internal battle within the Taoist sect.

But from a probability standpoint, this is normal.

Leng Wuyai raised his head and glanced at the remaining people in the room.

What the hell is this!
But a flash of inspiration immediately struck him.

"May I draw the Crown Prince!"

This is practically equivalent to guaranteeing the crown prince's entry into the final four.

It's not shameful to lose to your own people.

That way, when people criticize me, they'll have a little less to say.

Neither my seniors nor His Majesty can blame me.

Hmph! If I don't fight the Taoists, it's the same as not losing to them!

Filled with boundless anticipation, Leng Wuyai began drawing lots.

"Has anyone already drawn number two?" he asked.

A young man dressed in a black and gold robe slowly raised his right hand and smiled as he showed him the number in his hand.

Leng Wuyai looked at the slip of paper in Chu Huaixu's hand, and his face turned ashen in an instant.

The words Chu Huaixu had said to him earlier began to echo in his ears.

Instead of saying all this, you should think about what you would use to block my sword if you were lucky enough to win this round and then draw me in the next draw.

In that instant, Leng Wuyai felt his heart skip a beat.

It was as if that invincible sword energy was already slashing towards him!

The first match of the day is about to begin.

Lin Zixuan versus Geng Tianhe.

This protagonist excels in support abilities, but is indeed slightly inferior in terms of individual damage output.

She possessed many unpredictable and mysterious abilities, and her approach was rather flashy and unconventional. Unfortunately, she encountered a single-minded swordsman like Geng Tianhe.

The vast majority of sword cultivators in the world admire the idea of ​​"one sword to break all laws"!
His [Azure Sky Flame] combined with [Great River Sword Intent] made each sword strike stronger than the last, like waves crashing one after another. Lin Zixuan controlled nine paper figures in one go, giving her an advantage in the early stages.

But once the other side gradually got used to these fancy tricks, they immediately became somewhat powerless.

Now, four of the nine paper figures have been destroyed.

With a pang of heartache, she immediately withdrew it, then with a wave of her hand, several leather dolls appeared.

These colorful leather dolls are like shadow puppets in a shadow play.

The spell she is currently using is a high-grade Earth-level spell called "[Playful Connection to the Netherworld]".

Moreover, this technique and the cultivation method she practiced were interdependent.

Only by cultivating the techniques can one master the spells.

With this technique, she gained the ability to "shift between forms".

She can switch places with any shadow puppet at any time, almost like teleporting!
The nine shadow puppets were far superior to the paper figures from before.

Chu Huaixu stood below the arena watching, unsure whether Geng Tianhe could win.

Because he knew that Lin Zixuan was hiding something.

Unfortunately, this girl couldn't unleash high burst damage; otherwise, Geng Tianhe would have undoubtedly lost.

This prodigy from the Sword Sect was completely overwhelmed by this teleportation technique.

After finally finding an opening, he was about to end the fight when he was suddenly attacked from behind!

The shadows of these leather dolls in the sunlight actually look like they're alive!

After feeling the pain, Geng Tianhe's sword energy instantly went astray.

Nine paper figures flew up, trying to stick to his body.

Once the tag is attached, Lin Zixuan can control his limbs.

Geng Tianhe had a silver bell hanging from his waist, which had been silent until now, when it suddenly rang loudly.

A burst of energy was generated, scattering the shadow puppet that was rushing towards them.

Standing in the sunlight, Lin Zixuan had no shadow!

She used herself as a human skin puppet to refine her own shadow.

Isn't this also a kind of shadow puppetry?
"Oh no!" Geng Tianhe thought to himself.

A figure suddenly appeared, and he was ambushed and sent flying backward, spitting out blood and suffering severe injuries.

In his panic, he swung his sword at Lin Zixuan.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a talisman with his left hand and stuck it on his body.

The talisman temporarily made him feel no pain.

This inspiration came from observing Chu Huaixu's competition.

Seeing that Brother Chu was not afraid of pain, he returned to his sect and invited the weapon-refining master and the talisman-making master of the Sword Sect to work together to refine this treasure.

In actual combat, it has indeed proven to be remarkably effective!
— Learning from Brother Chu is definitely the right thing to do!
At this point, Lin Zixuan had already used all the tricks she had been hiding. That's how sneak attacks work; if the first strike fails, it becomes very difficult to deal with.

Knowing he couldn't hold on much longer, Geng Tianhe quickly realized that now was not the time to conserve his spiritual energy.

Simply put, he started using some AOE skills that consume a lot of mana, aiming to cover the entire map.

This is exactly what a flashy type like Lin Zixuan can't handle.

In the end, Geng Tianhe narrowly won despite being seriously injured.

He had already learned from Brother Chu that in a competition, one must not show mercy to the beautiful, but must learn to ruthlessly destroy them!

The petite girl was cut off from the arena with a single sword stroke, like a kite with a broken string, and immediately fainted.

After winning, Geng Tianhe held on the stage for seven or eight seconds before the yellow talisman on his body became ineffective, and he immediately lost consciousness.

Overall, it was a closely fought battle.

Although Lin Zixuan lost unfortunately, the result is already stated.

One person from the Eastern Continent Mirror Kingdom has already entered the list of the top four!

And the next match...
Many Chinese people already knew the outcome.

Chu Huaixu was indeed extremely arrogant and cruel.

But how could Leng Wuyai possibly be his match?

This means that the Mirror Kingdom has already secured two of the four semi-final spots.

But what happened next once again enraged the people of Yue.

Chu Huaixu is operating at his own pace, still laying the groundwork for his ultimate plan.

The young man, dressed in a black and gold robe, slowly walked onto the arena.

He looked down at Leng Wuyai and said calmly, "What did you say to me last time?"

"Oh, so you're saying I treat human life like dirt?"

Chu Huaixu's dark eyes were fixed on Leng Wuyai, then he slightly beckoned to him, saying in an extremely haughty manner:
"Come, grasshopper, come up and take the sword."
