While Lin Ze and Yang Feng were fighting fiercely, in a quiet garden in the inner courtyard, two girls were walking side by side. One of them had a cold face and full of majesty, while the other smiled sweetly, innocently and cutely...
They are clearly Wang Yuanji and Yan Qingren.
"Why do you want to abstain?" Suddenly, Wang Yuanji stopped and asked aloud. Her cold voice seemed to come from a different world, giving people a vague feeling of respect.
But Yan Qingren seemed to have been used to it for a long time. He spread his hands and said: "You know, I never care about rankings. Otherwise, I would have been in the top ten in the class you were in last time. If it weren't for the sword this time,
The number of places in the tomb is limited, so I won’t do it like this. Moreover, for the sake of Jianzuka and his party, I have to preserve my strength as much as possible."
"Jianzhong and his party have not been determined yet," Wang Yuanji said.
"Yes." Yan Qingren nodded, with a hint of worry flashing across his face, and said, "Not long ago, the sword tomb in Qilian Mountain was opened, and the Jianwu Academy planned to let some students go to the sword tomb as a training and training.
Reward, but having said that, this matter has not been finalized until now, which always makes people feel a little uneasy."
"I have a bad feeling."
"Um?"
Wang Yuanji shook her head, as if she was not sure about her feelings, "This time, no matter whether I go to the Sword Tomb or not, I always feel that something big will happen... I hope it's my illusion."
Yan Qingren frowned slightly. She knew very well about Wang Yuanji's ability. Since the other party felt this way, it was probably not an illusion... Not to mention the far side, the situation on the other side of the confused sea area was not good.
I heard that many masters have died. If we really can't defend it by then, it will definitely be an earth-shattering event, and the entire Sword Martial Arts Academy will probably be shocked.
Of course, this kind of thing is still too far for the two students.
Yan Qingren was not the kind of person who would worry too much. If it was something she could not take care of, she would not think too much about it. She quickly put aside the matter in the confused sea area. She then said with some doubts: "I will
I abstained because I wanted to preserve my strength to deal with Jianzhong and his party, but what happened to Zhao Feiyan? Why did she abstain?"
"Perhaps it's the same as you." Wang Yuanji had long been accustomed to Yan Qingren's leaping thinking, so she continued calmly.
"Impossible." Yan Qingren shook his head decisively, "The sword tomb matter is still a secret. In the entire academy, the only person qualified to know about this matter is me, not even you sword masters. Don't talk about Zhao Feiyan
It’s just that with the No. 1 Sword Master Su Ling on her back, even if she is Su Ling herself, there is no way she would know... It’s strange, then why would she abstain? From the look of her, she shouldn’t be as smart as me.”
"..." Regarding Yan Qingren's shameless narcissism, even Wang Yuanji was probably speechless and rolled her eyes.
"By the way, tell me, is she having an affair with Lin Ze? Otherwise, why did she abstain from the fight with Lin Ze?" Suddenly, Yan Qing suddenly realized something was hidden.
Just like a person's secret, she had a mysterious expression. But when she said this, she seemed to have forgotten that she was also the one who abstained from Lin Ze.
Wang Yuanji obviously had a better memory than she did, and said: "You have Lin Ze on your left and Lin Ze on your right recently. You talk about him every day, and you even use any means to get him to be your deputy captain. Are you also related to Lin Ze?"
What kind of adultery?"
"Impossible!" Yan Qingren was immediately startled, and quickly clarified for herself, "I would pay attention to him, and it's not all because of you. If he was not my best friend's fiancé, I would
I'm too lazy to pay attention to him. Besides, how can I poach my friend, don't you think?"
Wang Yuanji didn't say anything, she was just joking.
However, Yan Qingren often takes things seriously when she shouldn't. At this time, she could only hear her say in a deep voice: "By the way, you really need to pay more attention to that Zhao Feiyan. My sixth sense tells me that this
There must be a story between the woman and Lin Ze."
"If there is a story, then there is a story. I believe him."
"Tsk..." Listening to Wang Yuanji's indifferent tone, Yan Qingren smacked her lips and couldn't continue talking. She didn't even care about the person involved, and she wasn't afraid that her man would be taken away. She, a third party, had
What is there to say?
Shaking his head, Yan Qingren said again: "Since you believe him, why haven't you gone to see him for so long?"
"..." A hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared in Wang Yuanji's eyes.
"Alas!" Yan Qingren could not help but sigh heavily, "Woman, your name is Tangle."
…
On the other hand, the battle between Lin Ze and Yang Feng has reached a fever pitch. One of them is in the sky and the other is on the ground. The sword energy and flying swords clash like wild thunder and lightning. The entire arena has ceased to exist under their bombardment.
, were it not for the existence of the defensive sword formation, I am afraid that this competition square would have been covered by their attacks.
Lin Ze was extremely surprised. Although he did not underestimate Yang Feng, in fact he still underestimated Yang Feng's strength. Up to now, he had almost used all his strength, but he still could not defeat Yang Feng. Instead,
His sword energy has been destroyed countless times... The other party is indeed qualified to challenge Dao Wumian.
But Lin Ze didn't know that Yang Feng was even more surprised than him. Not to mention that all his flying swords had been sacrificed by top experts. Not only were they sharpened like clay, but they also had some divine power. He was standing on the same level.
On the shoulders of giants, he is inherently more powerful than his peers. And more importantly, he can control the flying sword with almost no consumption as long as his mind flashes. But until now, his
More than two hundred flying swords have been broken, the true energy has been depleted, and even the consciousness is close to the edge of collapse, but Lin Ze... his condition is actually better than himself.
Yang Feng simply couldn't believe how Lin Ze could have such a huge amount of energy!
This is incredible.
As for the surrounding spectators, they had long been stunned by the battle between the two. How had such a large number of flying swords and sword energy dueled before? What's more, the power was so great. Although it was also the same.
They are students from the inner courtyard, but compared with Lin Ze and Yang Feng, they are simply three-year-old children with no strength.
The gap cannot be calculated by calculation!
"Yang Feng is going to lose." Jiang Yue suddenly said in the special viewing area. Although at present, the battle between Lin Ze and Yang Feng is still evenly matched, but he can see that Yang Feng's sword energy is no longer as good as before.
He was so sharp at the beginning, and in order to resist Lin Ze's domain power, his energy also drained too fast, making it difficult for him to persist.
On the other hand, Lin Ze's Qi capacity was as deep as the ocean. As time went by and Yang Feng's Qi weakened, the effect of his domain power became more and more powerful, and he was almost certain to win.
"This is natural." Su Ling's face was indifferent. She had expected this result from the beginning.
And the fact was just as the two said. After a while, Yang Feng's energy finally could no longer keep him fighting and he had to admit defeat.
"You won. It seems that only you can compete with Dao Wumian for first place." Yang Feng said after Lin Ze fell down.
Lin Ze took a few deep breaths and said with a smile. "You are also very good. You are still the first to be able to push me to this level. If I hadn't taken advantage of having so much energy, the outcome would have been uncertain.
."
Then the two people left the stage one after another. The competition staff performed some simple repair work on the arena, and the next competition soon ushered in. And this time it was Dao Wumian who started the game, and his opponent was Baigui Yexinghan.
Negative.
Although in terms of strength, Han Yin was probably the weakest among the ten people this time, he was not timid and did not admit defeat even when facing Dao Wumian. However, no matter how strong his fighting spirit was, he could not make up for his lack of strength.
The gap was so large that in the end, Han Yin was defeated by Dao Wumian with one sword just like those before.
"Go on." Dao Wumian stood on the ring, yawned, and said lazily.
His attitude seemed extremely arrogant, as if he didn't take everyone seriously, but in fact he had always been like this. He always looked like this, and people didn't take it seriously even if they saw him more often. Even if
When Tian Dao Wumian becomes serious and humble, everyone will feel uncomfortable.
Dao Wumian's second opponent was Ba Dao Nantian. Like Han Yin, he did not admit defeat, but he could not block Dao Wumian's sword. Then, the third opponent was Wuyingshou Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji originally planned to take advantage of his speed to strike first. As long as he took advantage of his speed and suppressed Dao Wumian's first draw, even if he couldn't win in the future, he would at least be able to hold on for a while.
However, what he never expected was that before Zhou Ji, who was known as the Shadowless Hand, could draw his sword, Dao Wumian's sword had already knocked him away.
Zhou Ji, who is famous for his speed, is not as good as Dao Wumian even in terms of speed!
After watching these games, all the spectators were amazed.
"Dao Wumian is so terrifying. I feel like his sword drawing skills are faster and more severe than before. I really don't know who can stop him."
"I guess only Lin Ze has a chance."
"Yes, he is the only one. After all, no one else has the ability in this area."
Although Dao Wumian only played three games, in fact, his only remaining opponent was Lin Ze, because Zhu Zhen, Yang Feng and Tie Chensheng had already fought against him when they were eliminated, and they all lost to him.
Under his sword, there is no point in fighting anymore at this time.
These three people obviously knew this, and when it was their turn to fight against Dao Wumian, they all abstained.
"It's gone so soon...ahhh." Dao Wumian held the sword in one hand and covered his mouth with the other. His expression seemed to be that he had not yet woken up. His dreamy eyes fell on Lin Ze who was not far away, and then again
He took it back and said, "Well, then I'll go back and take a nap. Remember to call me for the last scene."
With that said, Dao Wumian turned around and walked off the ring.
Lin Ze looked at his back and narrowed his eyes slightly. This Dao Wumian was indeed incredibly strong. If he didn't use his last trump card, it would be difficult to defeat him.
"What?" Lin Xue saw the subtle changes on his face and asked involuntarily.
Lin Ze shook his head, "It's nothing, I just feel it's a little troublesome."
"This Dao Wumian is very arrogant. Are you sure you can beat him?"
"His behavior is not called arrogant, it should be called casual, as if nothing is taken seriously by him. However, he does have the capital to ignore everything... To be honest, it is difficult."
The next game had nothing to do with Dao Wumian. Basically, Lin Ze had nothing to do with it. Except for Han Yin, who had not fought him, everyone else had already fought. When it was his turn, Han Yin had fought again.
Decisively admit defeat.
In this competition, Han Yin was definitely the most tragic one. First, she was knocked unconscious by Yan Qingren, and then she was knocked to death by Dao Wumian's sword. As a result, she lost her confidence. Later, she met the sword demon Tie Chensheng and Feiyu Jianyang.
During the confrontation, he was beaten twice in succession, and now he faced Lin Ze. Knowing that he was no match for Lin Ze and would only be beaten once more, how could he seek abuse again?
Just like that. Soon, the finals came to an end and the rough rankings were almost confirmed.
Because Zhao Feiyan gave up in the first game and had zero points, he ranked tenth. The ninth was Han Yin, who only won the game in which Zhao Feiyan abstained. The eighth was Yan Qingren. Because Zhao Feiyan abstained first, so
Although she also abstained, she won the points.
Then, the seventh place is Ba Dao Nantian, the sixth place is Shadowless Hand Zhou Ji, the fifth place is Emperor Jian Zhuzhen, the fourth place is Sword Demon Tie Chensheng... The rankings of these four people have not changed at all from the previous one.
Yang Feng, on the other hand, was defeated by Dao Wumian and Lin Ze respectively, and his ranking dropped one place, from second to third.
But with the strength of Lin Ze and Dao Wumian right in front of him, it would not be an injustice if he finished third.
In the end, the only ones who have not yet been determined are Lin Ze and Dao Wumian. The first person in the inner court will be born among these two people.
"In the last game, Lin Ze has no sleep against the knife!"
When the judges said these words, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience. For everyone present, the showdown between Lin Ze and Dao Wumian was undoubtedly the most anticipated match. Everyone wanted to watch it.
Let's see, which one is Lin Ze's sword intention that is stronger, or Dao Wumian's drawing of the sword that is stronger.
Will Lin Ze, the black sword, rush to the end, or will Dao Wumian continue to be the overlord?
Not only the ordinary inner courtyard students' eyes widened, but also the other top ten contestants, the judges, and even people like Su Ling Jiangyue paid special attention.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, the winner of these two will have a great chance of ascending to the position of sword tyrant and tied with them.
Not far away, Zhao Feiyan left and returned, but she did not approach the competition square. Instead, she stood far away in a corner where no one was paying attention, looking at the distant arena with confusion.
On the ring, Lin Ze and Dao Wumian were already standing, facing each other. Lin Ze looked calm, with a slight smile on his face, while Dao Wumian stretched and yawned, looking listless.
This was a game that the spectators were looking forward to, but those involved seemed not to pay it any attention.
Seeing this scene, many people felt extremely speechless.
When the judges announced the start of the competition, neither of them took action. Dao Wumian wiped away his lazy expression, and his listless eyes instantly glowed with breathtaking momentum. He looked at Lin Ze and said, "I heard that you are
Wang Yuanji’s fiancé, yes or no?”
Lin Ze did not expect that Dao Wumian would ask such a question. It seemed that the rumors circulating in the academy that Dao Wumian was in love with Wang Yuanji were not groundless.
Lin Ze neither admitted nor denied, but just said: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
Dao Wumian smiled calmly, "No, of course there is no problem. The only thing left is this game between you and me. But if it is, I will take a closer look at your strength. If you are too weak, haha
."
Lin Ze suddenly sneered, "In other words, if my strength is too weak, do you have to step in and meddle in my own business?"
"Uh." Dao Wumian scratched his head and said a little embarrassed, "I haven't thought about this. Although I do have some thoughts about Wang Yuanji, she doesn't like me, so there's nothing I can do about it. And since you are her fiancé
, then if I can defeat you, I can regain some face, don’t you think?"
"ha?"
After hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but be stunned. At first, he thought Dao Wumian was someone like Ye Mingyu, but now it seemed that it was a little different.
Lin Ze asked, "What if you lose?"
"Haha." Dao Wumian laughed immediately, "If I lose, wouldn't it prove that Wang Yuanji has a unique vision? If I lose to someone who is better than me, what can I complain about?"
"I see." Lin Ze also smiled and pulled out the Peerless Sword from the Qiankun Acupoint, "In this case, I can only make you convinced of your defeat."
"Haha, that's not easy." At the same time, Dao Wuyan's right hand has been pressed on the hilt of the sword, making a gesture of drawing the sword. "If you only have the strength you had before, there is no possibility of defeating me."
With Dao Wumian's sword-drawing skills, unless he can be completely suppressed, there is no point in playing tricks in front of him. Lin Ze thought that he did not have such strength, so he was not greedy for merit, but immediately stepped back a few steps
, with a hundred and twenty percent vigilance in his heart. He stared closely at Dao Wumian's right hand.
Can Lin Ze stop Dao Wumian from drawing his sword?
This is something that not only Lin Ze cares about, but also other people who are paying attention to this game.
Because this first blow almost determines the outcome of half of the entire game!
Dao Wumian held the handle of the sword in his hand and his body was half-bowed. At this moment, his face no longer had the lazy and leisurely look before. Instead, he only had all the qualities that a good swordsman should possess... calmness, composure, forbearance, and carefulness.
!
With Dao Wumian's sword in hand, he became the most dazzling presence in the arena. Everyone's eyes never left his body. Even the voices in the audience were silent.
Then, I don’t know how long it took, Dao Wumian’s eyes changed!
He is no longer a calm and composed swordsman, but a hungry beast, as if he is seeing unsuspecting prey walking past his eyes. Some are only fierce and ruthless.
Whoosh!
Almost at the same moment, Dao Wumian drew his sword.
Without even giving him time to blink, Lin Ze saw an extremely sharp sword light splitting the air, like lightning, coming to him in an instant, as if it was going to devour him.
The speed was unparalleled. This was the fastest attack Lin Ze had ever seen, but he still caught it!
However, Dao Wumian's sword drawing is not just about speed, or in other words, speed is only his most basic part.
More importantly, hidden behind the speed... is a terrifying situation!
The moment he saw the sword light coming, Lin Ze instinctively felt a chill coming from the bottom of his heart. Looking again, the sword light was no longer a sword light, but a meteor that burst through the sky, carrying an unmatched aura.
Momentum...In an instant, the whole world in Lin Ze's eyes changed.
He seemed to be standing in the void, facing an oncoming meteor!
So that’s it, that’s it!
Many people couldn't understand that although Dao Wumian's draw of the sword was fast, it actually did not reach the ultimate speed, but why no one could block it, not even the sword demon Tie Chensheng, or even Fei Yu
A person of Jian Yang Feng's level was still defeated by this draw of the sword. Why?
Before this, Lin Ze also thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.
Until this moment, facing Dao Wumian's drawn sword head-on, he finally understood... How can a person standing in the void and unable to move resist the meteors falling from the sky?
Although this empty scene is just an illusion, and Dao Wumian did not really move people into the void, but just like in the Jianyi room, although the scene is fake, the feeling is real.
Therefore, so many people could not block Dao Wumian's draw of the sword. Even Lin Ze at this moment felt irresistible.
But, it’s just a feeling!
Lin Ze, who had gone beyond the limit, had already broken through the limitations of his own feelings.
At the moment when the meteor-like sword light was about to fall on Lin Ze, Lin Ze's eyes lit up, and a murderous aura that could kill gods and demons was released from him, and his eyes instantly turned into
It was as red as blood, and then, he moved!
The unparalleled sword moved upwards, and the void world was shattered in an instant... Bang!
A sound like the clash of gold and iron sounded, and Dao Wumian's draw of the sword was blocked.
Wow!
Seeing this scene, countless exclamations suddenly erupted from the audience.
"Oh my God, Dao Wumian's draw of the sword was really blocked!"
"That's amazing! Sure enough, I knew that only Lin Ze could stop Dao Wumian from drawing his sword!"
"Lin Zeguo is so strong, it's hard to imagine how he was able to stop him."
There was shock, admiration, and disbelief. No one in the inner courtyard could stop him from drawing the sword. Now that Lin Ze took it, it was natural that it would cause such a sensation.
"However, as a result, the battle situation becomes complicated." Su Ling said in a deep voice from the special viewing seat.
Jiang Yue nodded, "Yes, Dao Wumian's drawing of the sword is just the beginning. His true power is only after he draws the sword."
On the ring, Dao Wumian's face showed unprecedented excitement, and he laughed and said: "Hahaha! Well, you are worthy of being the man favored by the Martial God Wang Yuanji. You are the only one in the inner courtyard who can stop me from drawing my sword."
, it seems that I can no longer be muddleheaded, come on, let you see my real sword-drawing skills!"
As he spoke, Dao Wumian's long sword had been sheathed, but his whole body was sharper than when it was unsheathed. His whole body stood there like a sharp sword thrust into the sky.
The real sword-drawing technique?
Was the previous knife a fake?
Hearing Dao Wumian's words, most people in the audience were shocked.
But Lin Ze was not surprised at all. He had already known that although drawing a sword was proof of Dao Wumian's power, it was not his unique skill, because no one would put his ability to keep things under control on the table and let everyone know about it.
It's just that no one has ever broken Dao Wumian's sword draw, so over time, people mistakenly thought that Dao Wumian could only draw his sword.
"Come on, I will try my best in this battle and won't hide anymore." Lin Ze said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean? Could it be that Lin Ze hasn't used all his strength yet?" There was a burst of discussion in the audience again. Everyone thought that Lin Ze had used all his strength in the battle with Yang Feng, but listening to his words now, could it be that
Is there a more powerful ultimate move that you haven’t used yet?
Not only were the spectators outside the field shocked, but even Dao Wumian showed a somewhat expectant expression.
Lin Ze did not speak, but proved it with actual actions. He was holding the Wushuang sword tightly in his right hand, and touched the sword with his left hand. His right finger passed across the sword surface, and a burst of fire burst out, and a spark of fire fell to the ground.
The arena was on fire.
"Sword Intent?" Dao Wumian suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"That's right." Lin Ze smiled calmly, "For a master like you, testing has no meaning anymore. If I only use one sword intention, I can barely resist your attack, so I can only use the one at the bottom of the box.
I've brought out my skills... the double sword intention, the chorus of water and fire!"
As the words fell, a faint water-colored light curtain appeared on Lin Ze's body. The previous flames rose with his gesture, and water and fire blended together... The two existences that were originally opposites now seemed to be...
They have become of the same origin, water melts into fire, and fire refines water. It has not weakened, but has become stronger.
"How is it possible! Two sword intentions, Lin Ze actually has two sword intentions!"
Seeing Lin Ze's Water, Fire and Sword Intention, countless people were frightened. Even people like Su Ling and Jiang Yue looked surprised. You must know that sword intention is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought.
, among a hundred geniuses, it is already very good to have one person with sword intent. In the Sword Martial Arts Academy, there are no more than three people with sword intent.
There is a sword demon Tie Chensheng, plus two sword tyrants, and Tie Chensheng's sword intention has obviously not yet begun to take shape, otherwise, he would not be ranked like this.
But now, Lin Ze possesses two kinds of sword intent alone. It's simply... it's so fucking extravagant!
Countless people talked about it, and they were surprised, envious, jealous, and shocked.
At the edge of the competition square, in a corner nearly a thousand meters away from the ring, Zhao Feiyan's eyes widened, and her beautiful face was filled with an expression of disbelief, "Extreme Flame Sword Intent! It is the extremely flaming sword of the flaming sword.
Meaning! But how is this possible? How can he have the extremely fiery sword intention, because... I am clearly here!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, you
