Refining Ruins Cauldron

But this is far from over!

As the cracking sounds grew more frequent, the spiritual armor ultimately failed to stop Gu Qingyun's Heaven-Burning Technique!

Unable to withstand the weight, it shattered.

it's over...

Sun Kang knew perfectly well that he had lost, and that he had also been defeated by Gu Qingyun's sword!

The sword was aimed right at his heart!

He had nowhere to hide and could only watch helplessly as the sword approached!

If Gu Qingyun continues to stab, he will be seriously injured on the spot, or even die!

At this moment, Sun Kang was in a daze, as if he could see the revolving lantern between life and death.

As the top disciple of Quanwu Peak, Sun Kang is hard to beat. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators can exchange a few blows with him.

I thought this competition was a sure thing, and that I would not only make it into the top ten, but also have a chance to compete for the top three, or even first place!

But in the very first round, he encountered Gu Qingyun, a prodigy!

It's not unjust that I lost to him.

However, the expected splatter of blood did not occur.

The Green Serpent Sword stopped on the surface of Sun Kang's skin, leaving only a small cut.

A drop of blood slid down, telling the story of Sun Kang's defeat—simple, yet crystal clear.

Gu Qingyun did not choose to kill.

Sun Kang had no grudge against him, and their martial arts exchange was a friendly sparring match that ended when the point was reached.

He can still distinguish that.

Coming to his senses, Sun Kang swallowed hard. Having just escaped death, even his eyes were much clearer.

"I lost."

He admitted defeat on the spot, his voice hoarse and tinged with bitterness, but without any resentment; he was completely convinced of his defeat.

Even his proud defense couldn't withstand this sword strike. No matter what other methods he used, the outcome would be the same.

Sun Kang finally understood what those top sword cultivators meant.

No matter how many changes you make, I will shatter them all with a single sword!

Pure, simple, and brutal.

Force can overcome all laws!

At this moment, the entire venue fell silent.

Everyone was stunned for a long time, unable to react.

That's...it's over?!

It was still just one sword strike!

Gu Qingyun continued his legendary swordplay!

"My God... God, just what kind of monster is this guy?"

"Just how fast is his sword?!"

"Who can withstand Gu Qingyun's sword?!"

The disciples were bewildered, and by the time they came to their senses, the next round of the competition had already begun.

Perhaps because Gu Qingyun's move was too shocking, the rest of the competition seemed to take much longer.

At this level, all the prodigies are roughly equal in strength, making it difficult to achieve an absolute crushing victory.

Of course, Gu Qingyun is an exception.

The intense battle on the stage, where evenly matched opponents clashed, reignited the audience's enthusiasm.

After several matches, the arena was filled with excitement, and cheers and shouts of encouragement rose up.

……

After several twists and turns, it was finally Mingji's turn to take the stage.

Standing opposite them was Mo Yingying, the prodigy of Xuanqing Peak.

Mo Yingying specializes in formations and has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Although she wasn't exactly a stunning beauty, she was quite pretty and had a pleasing appearance that grew on you.

She wore a light pink dress that accentuated her voluptuous figure before gracefully taking the stage.

However, Mo Yingying's expression was not good at the moment.

She had naturally witnessed Mingji's prowess.

Although I have never fought against him, everything I have seen and heard speaks volumes about the strength of my opponent.

Mingji, as the top disciple of the outer sect of Tiandu Peak, has never been defeated in four years since he entered the sect. Such a record is rare in a hundred years!

Faced with such a formidable opponent, who could remain calm?

Now standing on the ring, Mo Yingying has no way out.

Keep going, and you'll have a chance to reach the top in one step.

If you're afraid, you'll lose everything!

Mo Yingying specializes in formations. As long as she can maintain distance and use formations to gradually weaken the enemy, she still has a chance of winning.

"Senior Brother Mingji, please!"

Mo Yingying clasped her hands in a fist salute and immediately began to move.

Before anyone knew it, she had a stack of talismans in her hand, and judging by the thickness, there were probably at least twenty of them!

Mo Yingying clearly went all out to win!

These talismans are all of high quality; any one of them could fetch a good price in spirit stones if placed outside.

Some of the more perceptive audience members immediately became excited.

They've never seen such a rich and varied playing style before!

No sooner said than done, Mo Yingying struck first, muttering incoherently.

"go!"

The activated talisman shot out, pressing forward towards Mingji!

Her choice was undoubtedly correct.

Use talismans to suppress and block the opponent, thus buying time for your own formation.

The reason why formations are so powerful is because they possess terrifying power.

Of course, the greater the power, the more preparation is needed, and the longer it will take!

As the talisman approached Mingji, it immediately burst forth with multicolored light.

Attacks of various attributes are activated and bombard the target continuously, covering almost no blind spots!

The scene was no different from setting off fireworks.

The audience members couldn't help but change their expressions.

Although Mingji is strong, can he really withstand an attack of this scale?

Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator came, even if they didn't lose, they would still have to suffer a lot, right?

However, Mingji remained calm and his expression did not change at all.

The overwhelming attack seemed to be slowed down infinitely in his eyes.

The next instant, the blade was drawn!

Glistening snowflakes flew out with the sword, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply!

Mingji possesses an ice-elemental spiritual root, and his cultivation is so strong that it can influence the surrounding environment!

There are no fancy tricks, only the simplest and purest sword strike.

The immense spiritual power surged like a giant wave, instantly crashing onto the talismans.

In the blink of an eye, the once powerful talisman attack froze completely in mid-air.

Even the fire-attribute talisman was frozen solid and then cleaved in two!

When they looked again, Mingji's figure had vanished.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Mo Yingying!

The latter thought that by using talismans, he would have time to set up the formation.

Unfortunately, it was all just a beautiful fantasy.

Before he knew it, the longsword was already at his throat.

The chill emanating from the sword was terrifying, almost freezing the spiritual energy flowing within his body!

A few strands of hair fell, but Mingji's sword did not fall.

Gurgle.

With her red lips slightly pursed, Mo Yingying unconsciously swallowed, her pretty face already pale with fright.

She was horrified to find that her legs were trembling uncontrollably.

That is the most primal, instinctive fear in the face of death.

beat?

What can we use to fight?

How could I possibly be a match for Mingji?

They couldn't even withstand a single move!

Mo Yingying gave a wry smile and could only obediently admit defeat in the end.

"I lost..."

There was no other choice.

Although they are all prodigies, there are still differences between them.

Even with so many talismans erupting simultaneously, they still couldn't stop Mingji's sword strike.

Even if I set up a proper formation, the outcome will be the same!

This is hardly a Qi Refining Realm battle!

Mingji's strength is already enough to shake a Foundation Establishment expert!

Even among the inner disciples, he would be among the top!

Sheathing his sword without the slightest hesitation.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mingji turned around and walked off the stage step by step.

Only at this moment did the audience realize what was happening...
