"Chaoge, it's your turn."
While everyone marveled at Ling Zhan's amazing combat skills.
Suddenly, a teacher walked over and gave a reminder.
The quarterfinals were not over yet.
Moreover, Li Chaoge's match was in the second round.
After the divine architect urgently repaired the arena, there was no delay, and the second match began immediately.
"I will avenge you for the opening match."
After leaving this cold remark to Ling Zhan.
The next moment.
Her graceful figure transformed into thousands of sword qi, dispersing from the original spot.
Her real body had already appeared on the stage.
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox followed its master onto the stage as well.
The so-called 'vengeance for the opening match' naturally referred to the unreasonable accusation by Gojou Momoka after Ling Zhan killed Ichikawa Ichirou.
She even demanded the tournament officials disqualify Ling Zhan and hand him over to the Holy Tribunal.
To be honest, even Ling Zhan almost forgot about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Li Chaoge remembered it.
Actually, Ling Zhan had never taken this group of little bakas seriously.
Even in the future, if they dared to provoke him, he would kill them one by one!
That's all.
At this moment.
Gojou Momoka, dressed in an Onmyoji robe, stood coldly face-to-face with Li Chaoge.
Looking at this woman, whose appearance, temperament, and strength far exceeded her own.
A deep jealousy and hatred flashed in Gojou Momoka's eyes.
Her divine beast, Yamata no Orochi, looked solemnly at the woman with nine fox tails.
"Both contestants, prepare yourselves!"
"Countdown begins!"
The referee didn't waste any words and directly announced the start of the match.
When the countdown reached '1'.
Buzz!!
Countless spell papers flew out from Gojou Momoka's Onmyoji robe!
Without any chanting, the spell papers transformed into shikigami.
Speaking of which...
Onmyoji's attack methods are relatively simple.
Either summon shikigami.
Or cast spells.
However, it seemed Gojou Momoka was not following the usual pattern.
After successfully summoning thousands of shikigami of varying grades, she stained her fingertip with blood and inscribed an obscure spell mark in the air.
At the moment the spell mark was completed...
Awooo!!
All the summoned shikigami let out miserable howls.
Then, all the spectators saw with shock that the bodies of those shikigami seemed to be drained by some mysterious force, turning into streams of black energy that flowed into Gojou Momoka.
As the black energy entered her, her skin turned pitch black at a visible speed.
Her bright eyes turned crimson.
At this moment...
She slowly raised her head, her crimson eyes staring straight at Li Chaoge.
A terrifying energy slowly seeped from her body.
She now looked like an overinflated balloon, ready to explode at any moment!
Obviously.
She used some kind of 'sacrifice' extreme skill.
However.
Li Chaoge's expression remained indifferent, making no move, letting Gojou Momoka prepare her killer move.
"Ha..."
Gojou Momoka slowly bent down, placing her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist.
A breath of white air came out of her small mouth.
Her originally clear and pleasant voice now turned hoarse, overlapping with the sound of some mysterious creature.
"Li Chaoge..."
"Dismiss your divine beast!"
"One move between you and me to decide the winner!!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
Swoosh!!
Gojou Momoka instantly drew the sword in her hand!
Boom!!
A deafening thunderclap suddenly exploded from the ground!
Then the audience watched in shock as, under Gojou Momoka's 'Iai Slash', dazzling destructive lightning surged forward like an evil dragon, rushing straight at Li Chaoge!
With the terrifying power of the curse, the thunder dragon looked even more ferocious and terrifying.
Thunder Bestowal!!
It was Thunder Bestowal!!
The captain of the Ghost Slayers' special katana suddenly appeared in Gojou Momoka's hand.
"Goodness! She hid her trump card so well!"
"She never used it in previous matches, but against Li Chaoge, she pulled it out without hesitation!"
"It's over, it's going to hit!"
Under everyone's gaze.
The thunder dragon instantly reached Li Chaoge.
At this critical moment...
Clang!!
On the stage.
Only the sound of a sword resounded.
The crowd saw a pale sword light flash by.
When they blinked again.
Li Chaoge's sword was already slowly being sheathed.
The thunder dragon dissipated.
Looking at Gojou Momoka, who also sheathed her sword, and Yamata no Orochi with its arms crossed...
Both of them were frozen in place.
Thud!!
In the next second, two heads fell to the ground like fruit under the shocked gazes of the crowd.
Wow!!!
The uproar swept through the entire super arena like a tidal wave!
"Holy crap!!"
"Sword God!!"
"Who am I? Where am I?"
"..."
Not only the audience.
Even the referee and the top-level experts in the VIP seats all stood up, looking at the motionless figure on the stage with admiration.
Clearly still a Swordmaster!
But displaying a majesty akin to a Sword God!
"As expected of the strongest sword genius among the younger generation in the Dragon Kingdom!"
"This woman has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, stepping into the realm of 'man and sword as one'!"
"Now, what she lacks is not swordsmanship, but just levels and skills!"
Such an evaluation.
Could not be higher.
Others might not see the value in Li Chaoge's simple sword strike.
But these keen-eyed hundred-level experts could see it clearly.
Even the Rotten Witch clicked her tongue in admiration: "Your Dragon Kingdom is indeed a place that produces talent."
Princess Saint Luni's beautiful face also showed a serious expression.
Li Chaoge...
Indeed, an opponent of the same level as her.
"What do you think of my sword?"
After the referee announced the result, the first thing Li Chaoge did when she stepped off the stage was to walk gracefully to Ling Zhan and ask this question.
Her originally cold expression appeared slightly cute with her chin slightly raised.
This gesture was like a little woman deliberately showing off in front of her beloved.
"Very strong."
Ling Zhan frankly gave his evaluation.
Indeed strong.
Even Ling Zhan, who pursued perfection, couldn't find any flaws in that sword strike.
It could be said that this was the peak sword under the third tier of the swordsman profession.
Even Ling Zhan might not be able to surpass it.
Of course, only in terms of 'swordsmanship'.
After all, Ling Zhan was just a non-specialist, with many limitations, which was nothing to deny.
Hearing this cold guy finally give a sincere praise.
A trace of a smile appeared in Li Chaoge's beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of joy that it was worth swinging that sword.
From now on.
These two much-watched Dragon Kingdom contestants officially advanced to the semifinals.
Only two steps away from the championship.
