Chapter Seven, the Small Duel Conference

"Respected senior, " at this moment, Fu Yunfeng, who had just defeated Shen Xiujin, suddenly said: "I have done my utmost and only narrowly triumphed over Daoist Shen. I am already at my limit and am willing to step down at this point."

Swordsmanship, the art of killing, is ultimately about quality, invincible and unyielding. I understand now, just as Master Xu said, I have never truly escaped the form of swordsmanship, nor have I touched upon the essence of it

He is unwilling to risk a full-force attack that would give the opponent a chance to breathe and counterattack. Instead, he focuses on coordinating spells and artifacts to continuously suppress Li Changfeng. This is also Li Changfeng's only opportunity to break the deadlock, but whether he can think of it is uncertain, as Xu Zhuang also cannot say for sure.

Fu Yunfeng is victorious

Even the disciples behind Xu Zhuang cannot help but worry and whisper among themselves

Xu Zhuang remained unperturbed by this sudden provocation and calmly said: "Yang Lian, this small gathering for the contest of skills does not permit any foundational cultivators to participate; it is not a place for your nonsense. However, since you have provoked me, it would not be appropriate for outsiders to think that my Su Sect is afraid of your Heavenly Fire Sect."

Start

In this way, it seems that unconventional means have been employed; however, the disciples of the Xuanmen sect, by consuming spiritual elixirs, appear to be beyond reproach. Jiang Han's thoughts raced, yet he ultimately did not intervene to stop this duel of magic

Seeing that Shen Xiujin has gained so many benefits, many people can no longer contain their eagerness and have risen to their feet, ready to take the stage

Unfortunately, no matter how one imagines it, one cannot elevate one's flying sword out of thin air. Even if one's swordsmanship is ever-changing, it remains utterly useless.

In this performance, it is evident that His Highness and the others are thoroughly engrossed, completely unprepared for the sudden escalation of tension. Even the three sects and six factions, along with the true disciples of various mystical schools, display expressions of intrigue.

It ended? Chang Chi did not expect that Li Changfeng and the book would suddenly confront all his attacks. He was still somewhat taken aback when suddenly, all the hairs on his body stood on end. He saw the smoke and fire from the violent explosion suddenly parting, and a streak of blue sword light shot out swiftly, slashing down towards him.

Very well, this Thunder Essence shall serve as a reward, and I believe it can assist you in advancing your cultivation

With a pointed finger, lightning flickered, and a bolt of thunderous energy surged into Shen Xiujin's body. Having just exhausted all his strength and suffered defeat, Shen Xiujin's pale complexion suddenly turned rosy. His skin and pores subtly shimmered with electricity, and even his hair appeared slightly curled from the charge. In an instant, he was not only filled with vitality but was overflowing with it.

Thank you for your generous gift, senior. Shen Xiujin respectfully expressed his gratitude to Jiang Han, and then leaped down from the duel platform, where the contest resumed.

In such a scene, to the onlookers, the outcome seems to be very clear. However, those who are unaware of the underlying circumstances express much astonishment, particularly at how the disciples of the Tianhuo Sect, with their profound skills, are actually overpowering the disciples of the Taisu Sect, leading to a flurry of discussions.

"Come on!" Li Changfeng shouted loudly, suddenly retracting the sword light, with his body preceding the sword. He unleashed all his spiritual power, raising his protective robe and forming a thin layer of shield light. The two forces were about to collide, crashing into each other in mid-air, resulting in a violent explosion.

Hmm? Has it finally come to the end of the line for the strong crossbow? Seeing that Li Changfeng no longer dodged, Chang Chi immediately focused his energy and channeled his power, launching his magical technique and artifact head-on, intending to secure victory in this round.

Li Changfeng, while desperately holding on, felt a deep sense of despair: "If only I had a superior flying sword, or perhaps the legendary sword pellet that operates effortlessly, with my swordsmanship, I could easily escape his attacks and engage in close combat without being in such a dire situation."

As the voice fell, someone from behind stepped forward and said loudly: "Master Xu, I, your disciple Li Changfeng, wish to request to battle."

What kind of cultivation method does Chang Chi practice? How is it that his spiritual power seems inexhaustible

Meanwhile, Jiang Han furrowed his brow, and Ye had already noticed that the Heavenly Fire Beneficial Elixir was, in fact, a powerful and domineering medicinal pill secretly passed down by the Heavenly Fire Sect. However, it was not suitable for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage to use. Regularly consuming this elixir could lead to excessive replenishment, which would harm the user. Nevertheless, it also allowed them to freely utilize spiritual power and employ spells and magical artifacts

How is it that this person seems to exert endless energy? With such a method of using spells and magical artifacts, there is no sign of fatigue at all

At this moment, Li Changfeng was already showing signs of fatigue, and amidst his evasions, the situation was extremely perilous. The flying sword was on the verge of falling, and Chang Chi, seizing the opportunity, intensified his offensive. Various techniques came at Li Changfeng like a torrential storm, leaving him gasping for breath.

"Yang Lian, do not think that victory is assured, lest you leave yourself without any face." Xu Zhuang replied calmly and then fell silent, directing his gaze towards the stage.

The two parties did not delay; at that moment, both Li Changfeng and the other person swiftly leaped onto the stage and took their positions.

In the sky, a streak of azure sword light soared up and down, darting left and right. Under the relentless bombardment of Chang Chi's spells and magical artifacts, it could only evade, with no opportunity to counterattack

Suddenly, both individuals sprang up at the same time. Chang Chi raised his hands, and a fierce blaze erupted, as if boundless spiritual power was unleashed recklessly, quickly threatening to engulf the entire arena in a massive fire. At the same time, radiant light burst forth from his body, and several magical artifacts flew out simultaneously, all aimed at Li Changfeng.

Suddenly standing up and pointing at Xu Zhuang, he said: "Hey, who from the Tai Su Sect? Today’s duel will be inaugurated by my Tian Huo Sect and your Tai Su Sect, how about that mhetushu.com com?"

Such a thought flashed through Chang Chi's mind in an instant, as the flying sword was already poised to strike. The red glow of his robe flickered, but it could not hold for even a breath before it shattered. The flying sword was about to sever his head.

Chang Chi, true to his name, had red hair and beard, with flames flickering subtly in his eyes. An aura of domineering heat emanated from his entire being. His demeanor and tone, however, appeared composed as he clasped his hands together and said: "I am Chang Chi of the Heavenly Fire Sect"

"Very well," Jiang Han's gaze swept across both parties, seemingly intrigued. "In that case, please come up to the stage, both of you."

Upon reaching this point, it suddenly seemed as if a spark of inspiration had flashed through his mind. Although it was vague and indistinct, Li Changfeng felt as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope. Yet, despite racking his brains, he could not clarify why he felt a surge of emotions. Nevertheless, he was truly unwilling to give up, repeatedly contemplating his thoughts and feelings.

In "The Taizu of the Formless Sword Qi," there exists a profound realm known as 'Ultimate Quality,' which speaks of the most extreme quality and the most powerful killing force. Mastering the Ultimate Quality allows the sword qi to be invincible, capable of cutting through mountains and rivers, rendering it omnipotent... Do you understand

Li Changfeng had a youthful appearance, full of vigor and ambition, eager to make his mark. As soon as he landed, he pointed with his hand and released a green flying sword, then announced his name: "Taisu Sect, Li Changfeng"

Junior Brother Li appears to be quite passive

At this moment, he gritted his teeth, frantically urging the flying sword, dodging the onslaught while exerting all his strength towards Chang Chichong.

"Heavenly Fire Beneficial Spirit Pill." The moment the duel began, Xu Zhuang's gaze was already fixed on Chang Chi, as if he could see through him, penetrating flesh, blood, and bone, revealing a pill that was wildly releasing medicinal power, spiritual energy, and fiery force. "So this is the method, no wonder the aura is so unstable"

Li Changfeng transformed with the book, merging his form with the flying sword to become a streak of blue sword light, soaring into the air. He intended to strike directly at the enemy's head, but suddenly saw Chang Chi erupting with a violent blaze, flames rolling forth, as five or six magical artifacts simultaneously struck towards him. He hurriedly maneuvered the sword light, darting and weaving like a fish to evade the attacks.

Shen Xiujin, relying on his mastery of talismans and the intricately designed Little Thunder Talisman Array, achieved a series of victories but ultimately faced defeat. After Jiang Han announced the opponent's victory, he looked at Shen Xiujin and praised, "Friend, you have won four consecutive battles.

"Your swordsmanship is quite good, unpredictable and effortless." Suddenly, a voice echoed in Li Changfeng's mind, and it was as if he saw light in the darkness; his spirit was uplifted, and a memory surfaced in his heart

It is impossible... How could he possibly break my spell and still have the strength left?

Oh? Jiang Han glanced at him and said, "Well, although you voluntarily stepped down, you have still won a match. This magical artifact shall be awarded to you." With a snap of his fingers, a magical artifact fell into Fu Yunfeng's hands. A fleeting look of joy crossed Fu Yunfeng's face as he hurriedly expressed his gratitude and left the stage.

"Hahaha, very good, Fu Yunfeng, you are quite perceptive." The red-robed Taoist was none other than Yang Lian, the true disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect. Upon hearing Fu Yunfeng voluntarily step down, he clapped his hands and laughed heartily: "Great! Now the real show is finally about to begin. Chang Chi, it's your turn to come on stage!"

Although Chang Chi relies on the wonders of elixirs and spares no effort in his relentless offensive, if he were to exhaust his spiritual power in one breath, unleashing countless spells and magical artifacts, it would indeed be difficult for Li Changfeng, with his cultivation level, to withstand such an onslaught

Although Chang Chi's offensive was fierce, he was actually a composed and steady individual. Relying on the wonders of elixirs, he was by no means mindlessly launching a barrage of attacks. His use of spells and magical artifacts was quite well-coordinated, with waves of assaults connecting seamlessly, leaving no opportunity for the opponent to close in. In an instant, Li Changfeng found himself in an even more precarious situation.

Li Changfeng felt a deep sense of foreboding and exerted all his strength to propel the sword light to flee. However, due to the limitations of his own insufficient magical power and the mediocre quality of the flying sword, he was unable to shake off the offensive on the opposite side.

Yang Lian listened to the commotion in the hall, feeling quite pleased. He couldn't help but turn to Xu Zhuang and said, "Xu Zhuang, it seems that the younger generation of the Tai Su Sect is not very capable. Should I send a message to Chang Chi, so that he can save some face for your esteemed sect?"

However, matters have two sides; the transformation of the elixir's power into spiritual energy ultimately requires time. Chang Chi's character is calm and steady, which also implies a lack of decisiveness

Thinking back to two days ago, after Master Xu Shushu had set the matter of the duel with the true disciples of the Upper Xuanzong, I immediately volunteered to fight. Over the past two days, I have diligently practiced my swordsmanship, yet now that I have stepped onto the stage, I find myself in such a difficult predicament. What face do I have to meet my fellow disciples and to face Master Xu Shushu

Upon comprehending this layer of reasoning, a resolute thought surged within Li Changfeng's heart. The momentum of his sword suddenly shifted, as if it could no longer be controlled, making it impossible to evade. He adjusted his stance and charged directly towards Chang Chi.

Suddenly, while speaking, he struck at a disciple who was following behind him, and one person stepped forward: "Yes, it is the master's decree."

However, swordsmanship, at its core, is a technique for killing enemies. The variations are merely the form of swordsmanship and do not constitute its essence. Your swordsmanship is abundant in variations, yet it lacks sharpness

Suddenly, a long yawn echoed, and everyone was taken aback. They turned to look in the direction of the sound, where a young Taoist priest in a bright red robe was lazily resting his chin on one hand, appearing utterly bored. He said, "This farce is far too dull. Hey, Chang Chi, you go ahead and quickly deal with that person, and put on a good show."

Even if it is unpredictable, it is still of no use... Even if it is unpredictable...
