The second day, as the sun rose, the clouds were lit up with a pale golden light, creating another stunning view.
The Yunhai Square was still bustling with activity, with many people either participating or watching the next round of the Seven-Peaks Meeting of Martial Arts.
Most people gathered in front of the tall red list. The number of people on the red list had halved from yesterday, and the participants were looking to see who their opponent would be today and maybe even gather information about their strengths and weaknesses.
Li Xiu looked at the list and saw that he was assigned to compete on the "Li" platform. As for his opponent, he was not too concerned.
People around were talking about the outstanding disciples in this martial arts competition, many were talking about the duo of Longshou Peak, Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu, who came from the same Grasstemple Village as Zhang Xiaofan. Of course, more people were talking about Lu Xueqi.
Although she won yesterday's battle without mercy relying on the strength of the Tianya Magical Sword, which broke the opponent's silver-white fairy sword and made many disciples unhappy, the emergence of the Tianya Magical Sword once again made her the center of discussion, and most people want to see the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon.
As for Li Xiu, he quickly disappeared after winning yesterday's competition in a flash of brilliance, so people only know that a powerful stranger with an unfamiliar face suddenly emerged from the Main Peak, and his identity and name have not yet been widely spread.
Just as Li Xiu was about to leave the crowd and walk towards the "Li" platform, Zeng Shushu approached him.
"Yesterday you won too fast, I couldn't catch up, so today I want to see how good your sword skills are. After all, it's possible that we'll meet in the next round."
Although Zeng Shushu spoke like this, he seemed to be joking and clearly did not care much about the outcome of the Seven-Peaks Meeting of Martial Arts.
The two walked towards the "Li" platform and soon Li Xiu saw that more than a dozen disciples from Fenghui Peak had surrounded the platform, feeling a little confused.
Zeng Shushu spoke first, reminding him: "It's just a coincidence that you are facing off against one of my Fenghui Peak disciples today. Be careful, my Senior Brother Wang is an old disciple."
Li Xiu nodded without saying anything. In the plot, besides Zeng Shushu, there were no famous figures in the Fenghui Peak, but it was also understandable. After all, it was one of the Seven-Peaks of the Qing Yun, how could there only be one outstanding disciple.
However, Li Xiu still did not take it seriously. The fact that this person did not make it to the end of the Seven-Peaks Meeting of Martial Arts shows that his strength is limited. Given the strength he can currently use, it should not be a problem.
Just like yesterday, a chair was placed on the high platform and a white-bearded elder was sitting there, squinting and cultivating.
In the Seven-Peaks Meeting of Martial Arts, there are eight elevated platforms in total. In general, each platform will have at least one elder stationed by the Qing Yun Sect.
This is to prevent young disciples from being too impulsive and firing up real flames, and also to prevent the exchange of martial arts and techniques from becoming too intense, in case a disciple is unable to stop in time, the elder will have to step in.
Li Xiu noticed a difference, this white-bearded elder was the same elder who presided over the battle on the "Kun" platform yesterday. He did not know if it was a coincidence or if it was arranged by Daoxuan, but he followed Li Xiu to the "Li" platform.
Li Xiu stepped forward and first paid respects to the elder, then gracefully stepped onto the platform. The Senior Brother that was mentioned by Zeng Shushu was already there.
"The one in front should be Senior Brother Wang of the Fenghui Peak, I apologize for keeping you waiting, Senior Brother."
Li Xiu spoke kindly with an apologetic tone and cupped his hands.
Across the high platform, a man with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted figure and a full beard was closing his eyes and meditating. The once spacious and elegant Taoist robe appeared a bit tight on him and he lacked the gentle and reserved demeanor of a cultivator. Instead, he exuded a faint aura of ferocity.
Li Xiu spoke to him but the man didn't even open his eyes or respond, as if he didn't hear.
Li Xiu's face didn't show anything, but his eyes suddenly turned cold. He understood why Zeng Shushu, who was always friendly with people, referred to this person as "my Senior Brother Wang" with a hint of resentment.
Li Xiu shook his sleeve and didn't speak anymore. He also quietly waited for the start of the competition.
Half a stick of incense later, suddenly a "bang" was heard, and the clear bell ringing echoed across the Yunhai square.
The man opposite with a tiger-backed physique opened his eyes fiercely, shouted loudly, like a roar of a wild bear in the mountains, the voice shook the high platform! Then, he just shook his sleeve and shot a dark green small shield fiercely towards Li Xiu!
The dark green small shield was originally only the size of a palm, but as the man gestured with his spell, the small shield grew with the wind and became a person's height in an instant, and the pattern on the shield became clearer.
The shield was engraved with a strange beast, which was tiger-like with dog fur, had a human face and tiger legs, a pig mouth and wolf teeth, and a tail that was longer than its body. It was clearly a picture of a man-eating monster with its claws extended!
The man-eating monster shield emitted a strange and ferocious light, and the blurred figure made people feel as if a real man-eating monster was about to leap out of the shield and attack them ferociously. The momentum was formidable and soul-stirring!
The disciples of Qing Yun below couldn't help but show a few shocked expressions, but Li Xiu, who was the first to bear the brunt of it, still kept a calm expression.
The shield approached closer, and it was only halfway when he quickly drew his sword and a purple light shot out from Li Xiu's back, like a flash of lightning across the sky towards the shield, fiercely shooting towards it.
"Bang!"
With a heavy sound, the dark-green shield was heavily struck, flipping back in mid-air, and the purple light also slowed down for a moment before passing by it and quickly shooting towards the big man with the tiger back again, imposing and intimidating.
The big man with the tiger back changed his expression dramatically, he had never seen such a fast and fierce sword technique, he quickly shook his sleeves and used a spell.
Suddenly, five shields shot out in succession, growing longer in the wind, and four shields formed a line to block the purple light!
The remaining shield was under the feet of the big man with the tiger back, supporting him in flying mid-air.
The Purple Wing Sword looks slender and fragile, unable to bear the weight, but how could Daoxuan throw a common flying sword to Li Xiu.
Although it is not comparable to the Tianya Magical Sword, the Purple Wing Sword is also undoubtedly an incomparable magic sword in the world. It is made of an extremely rare South Sea purple crystal gold as the main material and seven rare exotic metals as auxiliary materials, and can support mountains and cut rivers!
The purple light shot through the air, and as soon as it made contact, it immediately broke through two shields, and in just a few moments, it also knocked down all the remaining shields.
However, the big man with a tiger back has practiced for decades and is specialized in these six shields, so it is not that easy.
At almost the same time that the Purple Wing Sword knocked down the shields, he used a technique to recall the shields and defended in front of him, rotating five sides non-stop, and with the remaining one supporting him to fly left and dodge right, the Purple Wing Sword was unable to approach him for a while.
Although Li Xiu stood on the stage almost motionless, forcing the big man with the tiger back to dodge everywhere, looking to be at an advantage, the big man with the tiger back still managed to endure for a long time without falling.
