Refining Ruins Cauldron

Who would object to the sect leader's proposal?

Moreover, Master Qinggu has made it very clear that anyone who disagrees can challenge him on the spot.

Everyone present knew how formidable Gu Qingyun and Mingji were.

None of the remaining top ten prodigies believed they could truly defeat these two monstrous talents!

The competition for first place is already clear.

Instead of waiting a long time, let's get straight to the point!

Cheers rose, and the disciples' enthusiasm was instantly aroused.

"I agree with the sect leader's proposal!"

"I agree!"

"What's the point of watching others fight? Watch the ultimate showdown!"

"Whoever wins between Mingji and Gu Qingyun will be number one, the number one outer sect disciple!"

"Sect Leader is mighty! This is going to be good!"

"..."

The other top ten prodigies naturally had no objections to this.

Mingji and Gu Qingyun are far ahead of them in terms of strength. If they insist on competing against each other, they will only be asking for trouble.

Now it's all good. We've saved ourselves a beating, and the peak master can even rank the players based on their performance. Everyone's happy, so why not?

Sun Kang and Mo Yingying, who had fought against Mingji and Gu Qingyun, especially agreed with the suggestion!

These two guys are both monstrous talents, and neither of them wants to experience that kind of direct pressure again!

No one objected, and the proposal was approved on the spot.

The elder judge stepped forward.

"In that case, let us proceed with the final battle as the sect leader has suggested."

"Gu Qingyun of Tiandu Peak versus Ming Ji of Tiandu Peak!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire audience erupted in cheers once again, everyone was extremely excited.

This competition, which has lasted for several days, has finally come to its final showdown!

Mingji versus Gu Qingyun, whoever wins will be the number one outer sect disciple!

……

The contestants entered the arena, and the two landed steadily on the ring.

Their eyes met, and the air seemed to be filled with an invisible glint of swords.

In an instant, an invisible sword intent raged, and Mingji's aura was the first to erupt!

A wave of cold air swept across the arena, instantly covering it and causing the surrounding temperature to plummet!

Such power, is it really something that a Qi Refining Realm cultivator could unleash?

The audience members looked frightened and quickly backed away, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Neither sword intent nor cold air could withstand something of their level!

"This oppressive aura... Senior Brother Mingji has probably been hiding his true strength all along!"

"Is this the true value of a four-year undefeated streak? I'm afraid Gu Qingyun's chances are slim this time."

"Who says it isn't...?"

Across from him, Gu Qingyun appeared calm, but his expression grew increasingly serious.

He had to admit that Mingji was the strongest opponent he had encountered in this competition, without exception.

Regardless of cultivation level or swordsmanship skill!

The vast and boundless sword intent instantly engulfed him.

At this moment, Gu Qingyun was more like a small boat in a storm, tossed about by the wind and rain, and could be capsized by the giant waves at any moment!

A sense of danger was palpable, and Gu Qingyun had no choice but to be on high alert!

That's not all. Mingji has an ice spirit root, and the cold aura he cultivates lacks the gentle nourishment of a water spirit root, but has a lot more of a murderous intent!

This is precisely why his sword intent became even purer and sharper!

At this moment, Mingji was merely standing still, yet Gu Qingyun could feel an unprecedented pressure!

He had a feeling that if the former didn't move, he would remain still, but if he did, he would definitely make a name for himself!

There must be absolutely no room for wishful thinking!

Gu Qingyun took a deep breath, and the Azure Serpent Spirit Sword quietly appeared in his hand.

With the spirit sword in hand, Gu Qingyun's aura exploded out completely.

Having experienced so many life-and-death battles, although his swordsmanship skills were not as good as Mingji's, his murderous aura was by no means weak!

This is the kind of killing intent that only those who have truly fought a life-or-death battle and crawled back from the brink of death possess!

Two completely different auras collided, seemingly sparking a flame!

Even before the fight began, the atmosphere on the stage was already thick with tension.

The disciples watching the battle were completely focused, even forgetting to breathe, just so they wouldn't miss a single moment!

Even a blind man could see that a great battle was about to break out!

A battle of this caliber is a once-in-a-century event!

Who will ultimately emerge victorious? Who isn't looking forward to it?

On the stands, Master Qing Gu remained calm.

He glanced at Mingji, then his gaze fell entirely on Gu Qingyun, as if deep in thought.

This little guy... is interesting.

Could it be that the prophecy in the sect's ancient books truly applies to him?

……

Back in the arena, both players were at their peak, evenly matched and equally matched.

Mingji spoke first: "Please."

His expression remained calm and composed, his eyes fixed on Gu Qingyun.

The latter didn't hold back either, and the five elements of spiritual power within his body were running at their maximum at this moment!

Seven Star Sword Technique, Burn the Heavens!

A burst of firelight appeared and gathered on the Azure Serpent Spirit Sword.

Gu Qingyun did not rush to make a move, but silently accumulated spiritual power and waited for the right opportunity.

In a duel between masters, the slightest mistake can lead to a world of difference!

He knew very well that he wouldn't have many opportunities to make a move!

Once defeated, the outcome is decided.

Gu Qingyun decided to unleash the full power of his Heaven-Burning Sword Technique without holding back!

The red light on the Green Serpent Sword deepened, eventually turning reddish-brown.

The blade cracked and sputtered, as if it could no longer withstand this level of spiritual pressure.

With his eyes locked on Mingji, Gu Qingyun was like a tiger king that had its eyes on its prey and was poised to pounce!

They remain silent until they strike, and once they do, it will be with overwhelming force!

"That's interesting, but that's all."

Mingji nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

However, it's just something to admire.

He, who had been inactive until now, finally made a move.

With a whoosh, the three-foot-long sword was drawn.

The sharp sword intent cleaved through the void, soaring straight to the heavens!

The sword blade descended from top to bottom, seemingly with effortless ease, but at that moment, the surrounding air felt as if it were being cleaved in two!

An endless chill blocked all of Gu Qingyun's escape routes!

He had no way to avoid that sword strike!

Appeared.

Break through all laws with sword intent!

Mingji's strongest attack!

Gu Qingyun frowned, his eyes fixed on the invisible sword intent that was slashing down at him!

"Burning the Heavens!"

With a deep voice, Gu Qingyun no longer held back.

A fiery red sword light burst forth, directly confronting the enemy!

Rumble!

The two attacks collided in mid-air, and the explosion shook the heavens and the earth!

The aftershocks spread outwards, causing the entire martial arts arena to shake violently, with sand and stones flying everywhere, just like an earthquake!

The sturdy arena, made of granite, could not withstand the destruction and cracked inch by inch until it shattered completely!

The protective array around the arena was activated instantly, and the light barrier trembled violently, almost collapsing on the spot!

The spectators, who thought they had retreated far enough, were now so frightened that they all retreated.

The disciples standing at the front were even more shaken by the aftershocks, their blood surging and their faces turning pale.

Even the residual power of a battle of this caliber is terrifying!

"Heavens...heavens...is this still the Qi Refining Realm? Even Foundation Establishment cultivators might not be able to do something so earth-shattering!"

"Is this... a dream?"

In the distance, Luo Mei clenched her fists tightly, unaware that her palms were already soaked with sweat.

Her gaze was fixed on the center of the explosion, waiting for that familiar figure to appear...
