On Dazhu Peak, I cultivated myself into a demonic master!

Chapter 19 The number one person below Shangqing, is that all?

The next day, the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament had reached its climax.

Today is the most crucial match, the round of 16 to the quarterfinals.

Because of the reduction in the number of participants, the arena was split from eight to four.

Today, the area around the eastern arena was already packed with people. The first match of the day would be a duel between Qi Hao, widely predicted to be the strongest player, and Chen Xiao, the biggest dark horse of the tournament!

This time, whoever loses will be eliminated in the round of 16.

This was quite a gimmick, naturally attracting countless people to come and watch.

Not only the people from Longshou Peak and Dazhu Peak, but also the disciples from other peaks were very interested.

"This match is going to be interesting! Senior Brother Qi Hao is the number one person after Shangqing!"

"Chen Xiao, the dark horse of Dazhu Peak, is not bad either. He has been able to kill in seconds so far. I wonder if he can continue to do so against Senior Brother Qi Hao today."

"You defeated Senior Brother Qi Hao in one move? Are you alright?"

"I think it was Senior Brother Qi Hao who instantly killed Chen Xiao. A hundred years of cultivation is just a joke to you!"

Most of the disciples around him still thought highly of Qi Hao.

"Brother Xiao, go for it! Beat Qi Hao to a pulp!"

Offstage, Tian Ling'er's clear and crisp voice rang out loudly.

She cupped her hands around her mouth and loudly encouraged Chen Xiao.

Du Bishu, however, is still enthusiastically opening the market and acting as the market maker today.

He stood in the crowd, holding a small notebook, constantly recording everyone's betting activities.

"Place your bets now, and don't put your bets on!"

"I recommend all my fellow disciples to bet on my seventh junior brother to win; the current odds are incredibly high!"

"Hehe, I'm betting on Chen Xiao to be defeated in one move today!!"

On stage, Qi Hao did not look relaxed.

He forced a slightly stiff smile, then cupped his hands towards Chen Xiao, saying, "Junior Brother Chen, please go easy on me in today's competition."

"Don't worry, I'll only use half my strength."

Chen Xiao's lips curled up slightly, exuding confidence.

Even as soon as he said that, all the disciples watching around him could hear the strong provocation in his voice.

Chen Xiao made no attempt to hide it.

That's just his personality, and besides, Qi Hao had once had feelings for Tian Ling'er.

In his view, this was an attempt to poach his employees.

If it were another demonic sect, Qi Hao would have died countless times.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hao's face also darkened.

That's practically the same as shitting on his head.

But remembering Chen Xiao's terrifying sword strike two years ago, he suppressed his displeasure and did not lash out.

Next, the competition officially began.

Qi Hao dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately summoned the Frost Immortal Sword.

A flash of cold light appeared, and the Frost Immortal Sword hovered in front of Qi Hao, rapidly condensing the surrounding water vapor to instantly form a thick ice wall.

The ice wall was crystal clear and exuded a chilling aura.

But Qi Hao seemed to think that this was not safe enough, so he added another ice wall.

The two ice walls standing side by side gave Qi Hao a little sense of security.

"With this level of cultivation, you're still playing the turtle shell style? Are you that cowardly..." Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, his eyes full of disdain.

He had already made a plan in mind. To avoid arousing suspicion by using other spells, the Divine Sword Controlling Lightning was undoubtedly the best choice.

Chen Xiao's expression hardened, and he quickly formed hand seals.

"The Nine Heavens Mysterious Temple turns into divine thunder. The brilliant power of heaven is drawn with the sword!"

As he chanted the incantation, the once clear sky instantly darkened.

Huge, deep dark clouds gathered and swirled rapidly above the arena, resembling a black vortex shrouding the sky.

Lightning flashed intermittently within the dark vortex, and a faint rumbling sound could be heard.

"This...this is the Divine Sword Lightning Control Technique!!"

All the disciples were shocked. They never expected that Chen Xiao, at only eighteen years old, had already mastered the Divine Sword Lightning Control technique, and it seemed he could even use it!
Sensing the overwhelming divine power, the contestants on other arenas not far away stopped their matches and looked over in this direction, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Even the elders and the chief disciples watching the match stared wide-eyed.

For a moment, the entire Qingyun Sect's attention was drawn to Chen Xiao's Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique.

Even the sect leader, Dao Xuan Zhenren, noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky and rushed here.

"This child truly possesses such talent; it seems Tian Buyi was right..."

"It happened!"

Qi Hao, of course, also knew about the Qingyun Sect's unparalleled techniques, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

The divine sword, which controls lightning, is incredibly powerful. If I were to be struck by it, I would have absolutely no chance of winning.

We absolutely cannot let Chen Xiao be released!
But now that he had erected two ice walls to block his way, he was trapped behind them, having made a cocoon around himself.

The next moment, a bolt of divine lightning as thick as a bucket roared down from the dark clouds and struck Chen Xiao's immortal sword.

In the eyes of all the disciples, Chen Xiao was shining.

The lightning gathered on Chen Xiao's sword, and a terrifying aura rippled outwards.

Qi Hao's eyes turned bloodshot, and his spiritual energy surged wildly throughout his body at that moment.

However, Chen Xiao smiled slightly and pointed his immortal sword at Qi Hao.

In an instant, the light shone brightly.

The divine thunder transformed into an extremely dazzling bolt of lightning and rushed towards Qi Hao!

"boom!!!"

A tremendous explosion resounded in the ears of all the disciples watching the battle.

The two walls of ice shattered instantly under the impact of the lightning, turning into countless ice shards that flew everywhere.

Qi Hao had no time to dodge and was blasted away by the extremely powerful electric light!

"puff!!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Qi Hao's aura instantly weakened.

With just one move, the outcome was decided!

When the dark clouds dispersed, the audience erupted in an uproar.

Everyone's face was filled with shock.

The match between these two was decided so quickly; no one dared to think that before the match!
Chen Xiao of Dazhu Peak is too strong!

The disciples of Dragon Head Peak who wanted to see Qi Hao utterly defeat Chen Xiao looked ashen-faced, unable to believe that their respected Senior Brother Qi Hao had been defeated so quickly!

"Brother Xiao is so amazing..."

If it weren't for so many people watching, Tian Ling'er would have been so excited that she almost rushed onto the stage to celebrate.

"His divine sword, which controls lightning, is far more powerful than mine."

"Is this really only half of his strength?"

Lu Xueqi stood below the stage, her beautiful eyes slightly widened, and she murmured something.

"Senior Brother Qi, everyone says you are the number one person after Shangqing, but I promised you I would only use half of my strength."

"I didn't expect you to be so easily defeated."

Chen Xiao looked at Qi Hao, who had fallen to the ground, with a smile on his face and teased him.

"you!!!"

He only used 50% of his power to unleash the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique?

Compared to Chen Xiao, his century of cultivation was truly a joke!

Qi Hao was filled with shame and indignation. He felt a surge of anger rush to his head, and his eyes rolled back as he fainted from rage.

Seeing Qi Hao so humiliated, Cang Song walked quickly onto the arena with a livid face.

He glared at Chen Xiao fiercely, then picked up Qi Hao and left.

"Xiao'er!"

"In a competition between fellow disciples, one must not be frivolous!"

Tian Buyi appeared to be lecturing Chen Xiao, but the smile on his lips was hard to suppress.
