"This Chain of Sealing must be one of the treasures of Feilai Xianfeng, it's not your personal artifact, is it? Uncle-Master Gong's desire to win is too strong."
Lu Yi's eyes flashed with sharp light, and he made this judgment instantly.
Generally speaking, such a terrifying imprisonment-type treasure could not be possessed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It must have been given to Mo Wen by the peak master of Feilai Xianfeng.
Mo Wen's subsequent actions precisely verified Lu Yi's conjecture.
"Cousin, why do you care whose treasure this is..."
"Anyway, you lost now, what's the point of fussing over such things!"
As he spoke, Mo Wen walked up to Lu Yi and extended a finger.
"Pop!"
Before Lu Yi could react, Mo Wen flicked his forehead fiercely with his finger.
"Ouch...!"
Lu Yi couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Hahahaha!"
In the next second, Mo Wen's continuous laughter followed.
"Alright, no matter what, I've won."
After laughing for a while, Mo Wen's expression turned serious as he looked at Lu Yi.
...
"Forget it, forget it! Regardless of the reason, I am still inferior to you in skill. I concede."
Lu Yi shook his head and admitted defeat.
"Zheng..."
In the next moment, the silver chains binding Lu Yi returned to Mo Wen's hand, restoring Lu Yi's freedom.
...
"Mo Wen wins!"
Mo Wen successfully advanced to the top four.
Mo Wen became the second inner disciple to advance to the top four.
The third match, Wu Tao vs. Ximen Jingxue.
On the continental fragment.
Ximen Jingxue stared coldly at Wu Tao, a vast spiritual power erupting from his body.
Ximen Jingxue held the Nine Star Chain Bow, and at this instant, his entire aura surged astonishingly.
That surging and majestic aura made it seem as if Ximen Jingxue had transformed into a bow, standing tall against the heavens, looking down upon the world!
The Nine Star Chain Bow was one of the peak treasures of Xian Gong Peak. As a bow cultivator, Ximen Jingxue, with the Nine Star Chain Bow, was like a tiger with wings.
Seeing Ximen Jingxue's cold demeanor, Wu Tao didn't want to waste any more words.
Sword intent surged, and a sky-piercing sword qi appeared like a long rainbow piercing the moon. Wu Tao's Chuxi Sword pointed at Ximen Jingxue.
...
Ximen Jingxue drew the bow, nocked the arrow, bent his waist, and pulled the string. His movements were as fluid as flowing clouds, without any hindrance, and it was impossible to find any flaws.
A brilliant emerald light condensed in Ximen Jingxue's arrow at this moment.
The dazzling light flowed, seeming to bring an infinitely terrifying sense of oppression. A hundred-zhang arrow glow stood across the heavens and earth.
And the direction of this arrow was precisely towards Wu Tao.
...
After being locked onto by such a terrifying arrow, Wu Tao could deeply feel the terrifying power contained within it.
Wu Tao even suspected that he would die under this arrow.
Therefore, Wu Tao changed his previous direct confrontation combat style to a mobile, elusive one.
Within the short time it took for an incense stick to burn, Wu Tao moved hundreds of times.
However, Ximen Jingxue also constantly adjusted his position with Wu Tao's movements. The astonishing arrow condensed by the Nine Star Chain Bow was always aimed at Wu Tao's heart.
Ximen Jingxue firmly held the initiative in attack and defense between the two.
...
Having experienced hundreds of battles, Wu Tao had never encountered such a troublesome opponent. His keen senses warned him that a single mistake could lead to death.
...
After a while, as the Nine Star Chain Bow had consumed a considerable amount of spiritual power due to prolonged use, Ximen Jingxue injected some of his divine sense into the arrow.
Ximen Jingxue said in a deep voice, "Yang Gang Qi, the extreme yang of heaven, shatter stars and extinguish seas, where the arrow points, all things are annihilated!"
In the next second, the terrifying arrow condensed by the Nine Star Chain Bow in Ximen Jingxue's hand shot out at a speed barely discernible to the naked eye.
As immortal light flowed, the vast and mighty hundred-zhang arrow instantly shot towards Wu Tao, its aura terrifying!
No matter how Wu Tao dodged, the vast and mighty hundred-zhang arrow followed him like a shadow.
After dodging for a while and realizing he couldn't escape, Wu Tao refused to be outdone. He stared intently at the hundred-zhang arrow with burning eyes, showing no fear.
He believed in his own strength to surpass others.
He wanted to forge his own path to the heavens and become the supreme powerhouse in the world. These were his deepest ambitions.
If not for this, he would not have chosen to steal the spotlight, to be under the spotlight, surrounded by envious or jealous gazes.
A true powerhouse, at any time and place, would possess self-confidence.
Losing confidence meant losing the possibility of further progress, and thereafter, he would be submerged among the ordinary people, leaving no trace of his name in the river of history.
Wu Tao did not want to be such a mediocre person.
...
Holding the Chuxi Sword, Wu Tao's sword hummed incessantly, his aura surging, and he merged with his sword, transforming into a sky-piercing sword light like a rainbow, charging towards the hundred-zhang arrow.
"Boom!" A world-shattering roar echoed. The mighty hundred-zhang arrow instantly collided with the sky-piercing sword light that Wu Tao had transformed into, exploding.
The terrifying power swept across the entire continental fragment, filling an area of several miles with an aura of destruction.
Tall mountains and large rocks were leveled without exception. Waves of terrifying fluctuations erupted in the air.
...
"Spectacular! The battle between Ximen Jingxue, who wields the bow, and Wu Tao, who wields the sword, is truly earth-shattering and sea-churning."
"To be honest, I don't have much hope for Wu Tao, the swordsman. It's not that his strength is inferior to Ximen Jingxue, the archer."
"As you saw just now, how powerful was the Nine Star Chain Bow in Ximen Jingxue's hand."
"That's true. However, Wu Tao, the swordsman, might not be without his trump cards. Let's keep watching."
...
"Yes, it's too early to draw conclusions now."
The cultivators watching from their floating cities and palaces discussed animatedly, each expressing their opinions and arguing enthusiastically.
On the pure white seat made of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade, Taiyi Immortal Sect's Sect Master Zhu Shenzi and other sect leaders of the dominant forces chatted occasionally glancing at the battle between Ximen Jingxue and Wu Tao, nodding in approval.
These two young fellows performed well and did not disgrace Taiyi Immortal Sect. They would receive some benefits after this grand competition.
Wu Tao, who was currently engaged in battle, was unaware that his sect leader, Zhu Shenzi, had taken notice of him. Otherwise, Wu Tao would have felt secretly delighted.
...
Due to the continuous momentum of his sword light, which had broken through the hundred-zhang arrow, Wu Tao's sky-piercing sword light, like a rainbow, surged directly towards Ximen Jingxue.
Seeing Wu Tao charging towards him, Ximen Jingxue remained calm. Let alone Wu Tao.
With the Nine Star Chain Bow in hand, he would dare to fight even a Core Formation cultivator.
Ximen Jingxue once again used nearly half of his spiritual power. The arrow was already on the string, ready to be unleashed.
As Ximen Jingxue's opponent, Wu Tao's clothes were tattered due to the recoil,
but the sharpness radiating from his body was even stronger. The Chuxi Sword spun vertically, piercing through the heavens and earth, its power irresistible.
"Surrender, Wu Tao, and you might live!" With a soft shout, Ximen Jingxue released his hands, and the terrifying arrow whistled out.
As the arrow passed, it rapidly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy to increase its power.
"Well met, Ximen Jingxue, don't spout nonsense. Take my sword first, then we'll talk!"
After a loud shout, Wu Tao drew his sword and charged out. With dazzling radiance, a spirit of unyielding perseverance and growing courage erupted with several times its power upon encountering the invincible arrow, forcefully suppressing the arrow mid-air.
In terms of powerful artifacts, the Chuxi Sword and the Nine Star Chain Bow were comparable. In terms of strength, Wu Tao was no weaker than Ximen Jingxue at this moment.
No matter how terrifying an arrow was, how could it wound Wu Tao with a single blow!
Thus, with the Chuxi Sword and the Nine Star Chain Bow, Wu Tao and Ximen Jingxue, fighting with all their might, finally saw a dazzling white light spread from the point of convergence, illuminating the surroundings.
...
Wu Tao once again broke through the arrow and, holding the Chuxi Sword, stood opposite Ximen Jingxue.
The bow was a ranged weapon, while the sword was a melee weapon.
Logically, after Wu Tao approached Ximen Jingxue, Ximen Jingxue should have panicked and voluntarily surrendered.
However, seeing Wu Tao looking pale, his sword-holding hands trembling violently, his steps faltering, and appearing to be severely weakened,
Ximen Jingxue remained unperturbed. He gripped the middle of the bow with his left hand, pulled the string with his right, and assumed a stance, giving Wu Tao no opportunity to attack.
"Come, let's decide the winner with one move, let me, Ximen Jingxue, witness your strength."
"A former ordinary inner disciple, how powerful have you become now!" Ximen Jingxue's aura surged, his cold voice reaching Wu Tao's ears.
Ximen Jingxue released his hands, and another emerald-green beam arrow, even more powerful than the previous one, bloomed.
Cold light flashed, arrows roared through the heavens, winds and clouds changed, carrying the power to destroy everything, and shot towards Wu Tao.
This arrow gathered all of Ximen Jingxue's spiritual power. After releasing it, he was too weak to draw the bowstring again and could only quietly await the outcome.
...
The emerald-green beam arrow enveloped the surroundings, eclipsing the sun and moon. Between heaven and earth, only the arrow light was brilliant, blooming with the glory of archery.
Wu Tao looked at the terrifying arrow shooting towards him again, his fighting spirit constantly surging.
His long hair fluttered, fearless. The path of a strong person was to face adversity, overcome obstacles, and achieve immortality through nine deaths and ten injuries.
