Exciting and free!
“Overestimating yourself!” On the stone platform, Zheng Teng let out a cold snort, then calmly stepped down, completely unconcerned about severely injuring Xie Yun, as if nothing had happened.
“Next, Mo Li!” the referee’s voice immediately rang out.
As the words fell, Mo Li stepped onto the platform, pointing directly at a tall, slender young man with striking features, saying, “Gun Dragon Sect, Chu You!”
The young man named Chu You leaped onto the stone platform, drawing his long spear. The aura of a third-level Martial Lord surged powerfully, righteous energy rolling and spreading out.
“Please!” Chu You said loudly, looking at Mo Li.
“Please!” Mo Li responded with a deep shout. A vast surge of demonic energy coursed through his body, dark energy gushing fiercely from his arm, and he unleashed a direct trump card with a single punch.
The top figures of these sects were simply too powerful, forcing him to use his strongest attack.
Boom!
A dark fist aura, as if emerging from the depths of the underworld, radiated a chilling presence and blasted towards Chu You.
Chu You stood unmoved, swinging his long spear. Unmatched golden light burst forth, righteous energy surging powerfully. In front of the spear, a spear aura dozens of feet long formed, slashing diagonally through the air towards Mo Li.
“Rumble!”
With a deafening roar, the righteous spear shattered the demonic fist aura, dispersing it into a vast wave of energy. The powerful righteous spear, carrying rolling waves of force, struck Mo Li directly.
“Pfft!” A large mouthful of blood sprayed from Mo Li’s mouth as his entire body was sent flying off the platform, severely injured.
The crowd was shocked again. The top young talents of the eight major sects were truly formidable. Xie Yun was heavily injured in one move, and now Mo Li was also gravely wounded in a single strike, without even testing his opponent’s strength.
Mo Yan’s brows furrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
“Next, Yao Yan!” the referee called out immediately.
Yao Yan leaped onto the platform, bowing to Xiao Disheng of the Absolute Blade Sect, saying, “Brother Xiao, I’d like to spar. Please guide me!”
Xiao Disheng drew a long blade, then charged straight onto the platform. The powerful aura of a third-level Martial Lord radiated, and waves of killing intent surged outward.
Gripping his blade, Xiao Disheng moved like lightning, rushing directly towards Yao Yan.
Seeing this, Yao Yan frowned deeply. He hadn’t expected Xiao Disheng to show no courtesy, immediately unleashing killing intent and charging with a deadly move.
Instantly, Yao Yan activated his strongest attack. His palms shot out, unleashing a vast wave of palm force that surged with unmatched power, crashing towards Xiao Disheng like a tidal wave.
However, Xiao Disheng did not strike with his blade. Radiant light burst from his weapon, forming a barrier that enveloped his entire body.
His body continued forward with unstoppable momentum, cutting through Yao Yan’s palm force like a ship parting waves in the sea, heading straight for him.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Disheng reached Yao Yan, slashing heavily with his blade.
Yao Yan’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly raised his palms, unleashing a powerful wave of palm force.
Yet Xiao Disheng’s blade was supremely sharp, slicing through Yao Yan’s palm force and striking his hands.
“Pfft!” Blood sprayed as Xiao Disheng’s blade cut through Yao Yan’s palms, then struck his head, splitting it in two.
Yao Yan was dead.
The crowd was stunned. In one move, Xiao Disheng had killed Yao Yan?
This Xiao Disheng was too powerful, and his methods were too ruthless.
The Martial Emperor elder of the Nine Heavens Sect darkened instantly, not expecting a disciple of the Absolute Blade Sect to be so brutal, killing without hesitation.
Zheng Teng’s face also turned icy, his eyes surging with killing intent.
When he dealt with Xie Yun, he had only severely injured him. Even Chu You had only gravely wounded his opponent. Yet Xiao Disheng had directly killed Yao Yan.
“Yao Yan, I will avenge you!” Zheng Teng vowed silently.
At that moment, Xiao Disheng paid no heed to Zheng Teng or the others’ reactions, saying disdainfully, “If you want to test my strength, show some real power. You weren’t worthy of me holding back!”
Zheng Teng and the Nine Heavens Sect’s Martial Emperor elder were furious.
“Zheng Teng, when facing disciples of the Absolute Blade Sect, show no mercy!” the Nine Heavens Sect’s Martial Emperor elder said in a low voice, audible to Xiao Disheng, Ren Jinghua, and the Absolute Blade Sect’s Martial Emperor elder.
Yet the three merely snorted coldly, paying no mind.
Of course, many others heard the Absolute Blade Sect elder’s words, quietly speculating that the eight major sects seemed far from harmonious, ready to injure or kill each other at the first opportunity.
The challenge continued.
After the lessons of the previous matches, the next few participants forfeited before even stepping onto the platform.
Until Ren Jinghua of the Absolute Blade Sect took the stage.
Ren Jinghua challenged Xie Ya of the Evil Sect. When everyone thought Ren Jinghua would be killed or severely injured, in the first strike, he displayed immense strength, wounding Xie Ya.
This changed everyone’s perception that the top figures of the eight major sects were invincible, while also shocking them with Ren Jinghua’s power. Last time, he had held back when killing Zi Long.
However, in the second strike, Xie Ya unleashed his strongest trump card, instantly reducing Ren Jinghua to a puddle of gore.
The crowd was stunned once more.
The top geniuses under twenty-five from the eight major sects were truly terrifying. Any second-level Martial Lord facing them would only meet death.
After Xie Ya, it was Ling Hu’s turn, but he forfeited without stepping onto the platform.
At this point, all the top geniuses of the eight major sects were ranked.
The current rankings were:
First: Lin Xiao.
Second: Li Renchou.
Third: Sheng Li.
Fourth: Yin Mu.
Fifth: Zi Ling.
Sixth: Qu Shang.
Seventh: Shi Jiuming.
Eighth: Zheng Teng.
Ninth: Chu You.
Tenth: Xiao Disheng.
Eleventh: Ming Que.
Twelfth: Ka Gu Kui.
Thirteenth: Mo Yan.
Fourteenth: Xie Ya.
Fifteenth: Yang Xiu.
Xie Yun and Mo Li, severely injured and unable to continue, withdrew. Yao Yan, killed, was removed from the final list, leaving three fewer participants.
The next group of challengers consisted of twelve new entrants, starting with those previously challenged.
These participants had to challenge someone on the list, or it would be meaningless.
First up were Qiu Liao and Zhuang Yuan.
The two quickly realised that after the rankings shifted, there were almost no suitable opponents to challenge.
So, they both chose Li Renchou, only to be defeated by him.
Next was Qu Shang, who challenged Yin Mu but was defeated, leaving the rankings unchanged.
Then Shi Jiuming took the stage, defeating Sheng Li and taking the third spot.
Next came Zheng Teng.
As soon as Zheng Teng stepped onto the platform, he pointed at Xiao Disheng, declaring loudly, “Xiao Disheng, come up and face your death!”
The crowd was shocked.
Zheng Teng’s first choice was the powerful Xiao Disheng, seeking vengeance for Yao Yan?
Both were top figures of the eight major sects. Who was stronger?
Everyone grew curious. Even Lin Xiao was intrigued, eager to see just how powerful these fighters were.
