"I KNEW SHE WILL WIN.YEY!"
Xie Ra worried that his ears might be bleeding after getting tortured from AhLuo's endless screech. It was not a surprise, as elder Ming Tianglong was her heroine. She was so obsessed with this dragon tribe demonic cultivator from her childhood.
The field got cleaned for the next fight as the current victor walked out in a dignified manner.
After the next fight, it was Xie Ra's turn. So, he said goodbye to AhLuo and climbed down the stone staircase.
"Next fight. Daozhang Luo Feng, late nascent soul, Immortal Sword Sect against Daozhang Huang Fu, early nascent soul, Mystic Pavillion."
Xie's ears perked up as soon as he heard the name, Huang Fu. He was the famous prodigy of the Soul Refining Sect. Xie Ra heard that he beat multiple cultivators in higher realms easily. He was only six years older than Xie Ra but was already in the early nascent stage.
And here he was, trying to break through to the peak core realm. His realm was lower than his friends, who made fun of him for being a slow cultivator. If he focused more on his cultivation than roaming around the city, he wouldn't be in this miserable situation.
He got a chance to sit in the front-row seat as he was the next contestant after the fight. He was quite excited.
He saw Senior Luo walking into the battlefield, smiling as always. He looked a lot like AhLuo. Well, he is her elder brother so, it wasn't a wonder. He was one of the brilliant swordsmen in their sect.
This battle would be legendary.
In the next minute, Xie Ra saw Huang Fu walking to the battlefield. He looked extremely handsome and was well built. His face was icy cold. Xie saw his eyes and they were icy blues as he passed him to enter the field a few moments ago.
His appearance could be described using one word. Majestic!
They placed themselves in their own spots and bowed to each other before trading greetings. . Everyone knew it was the greeting phase before a friendly fight.
"Daozhang, Please take care of me."
The fight went on for twenty minutes. Both parties fought brilliantly. Senior Luo's Azure sword collided with Huang Fu's Pale yellow sword with a massive force, emitting a blinding flash.
The resonance of two swords nearly made the listeners go deaf. The audience was quiet, as they were not there in the first place.
All of them were engulfed by the mesmerizing swordplay. It was impressive that a soul refiner could keep up with a sword cultivator this long without using his skills.
Senior Luo seemed to be covered in sweat. However, Huang Fu fought lazily in a very composed manner. Xie Ra couldn't note a single sweat on him. Maybe he was too far? Xie Ra never knew.
Senior Luo sprinted backward and stood, holding his sword in front of his face parallel to his gaze. The pointed end of the sword directed towards Huang Fu in a threatening manner. Senior Luo made a sword seal with his right hand and started to gather sword qi. Xie Ra knew what was coming.
Uniform sword array.
Senior Lan's qi condensed fingers slid along the blade towards the pointed end. This was followed by a circular motion in the air from his right hand. His sword started to levitate on the same spot as he let go of the grip.
He took one step back and started to move both of his hands to draw half circles, vertically in the air. Each circle was drawn in a clockwise direction. YinYang hieroglyph appeared inside the boundary he marked by drawing before.
Qi condensed in the air, which was sufficient to carry on to the next step.
Senior Luo lifted his hands towards his temple. Then, he put them down; both in opposite curves completing a full circle in the air. Levitating sword followed his motion by multiplying its number, resulting in a ring of numerous identical sword illusions.
Senior Luo's inner qi flowed through the sword ring and condensed the illusions. With a single powerful blow, he sent all the swords towards Huang Fu.
Huang Fu waited patiently as dozens of swords charged towards him. After these angry swords reached a certain distance, he started to move. But, the trick he pulled wasn't expected by anyone.
He simply manifested an array and strengthened them with his own qi.This array clearly gave off odd vibe as it looked stronger than a normal one. As soon as incoming swords hit the sarface, it repelled those and directed them back to Senior Luo.
Senior Luo got defeated as his own attack backfire on him.
Like this, the winner was chosen. Early nascent beat a late nascent just using his creativity and quick thinking. Xie Ra watched the winner with a deep admiration in his eyes. It was amazing. Maybe this was how AhLuo felt about elder Ming Tianglong.
"Probably one of his self-created skills." Suddenly a familiar voice talked next to him. Xie Ra jumped. "It wasn't our sect's skill. Probably junior Huang created it himself."
The owner of the voice was his friend, Elder Shen Guang of Misty Pavillion. He met this kind elder a few years ago in a sect tournament. Xie didn't even notice when he appeared next to his seat. He was bewildered.
"Next, the Core formation realm matches. The first match, Xie Ra, Late core formation, Immortal sword sect against Tian bai, Late core formation, Azealia pavilion."
Against the same realm Taoist? Easy.
Xie Ra took his sword in his right hand. But, before he went, he bent towards the elder Shen Guang.
"Elder, Can you give me a chance to meet Huang Fu?"
Elder Shen Guang smiled with reassurance.
