In the forest, Li Yi saw Chen Xinzhu's expression clenching the hilt of his sword, and spoke with a somewhat solemn tone.
"Are you talking about that kid from Huashan Sect?" Upon hearing this, Murong Jiang, who had been defeated by Duan Lian, raised his eyebrows slightly.
Li Yi looked at Chen Xinzhu in the competition arena with concentration and nodded lightly.
"That's right, I have fought against him and I have a deep understanding of his power. Once he becomes serious, the little girl of the Duan family... I'm afraid she will lose!"
Hearing the determination in Li Yi's words, Murong Jiang frowned.
"Really? My opinion is completely opposite to yours. In my opinion, the winner of this battle will only be the little girl from the Duan family."
Having said this, Murong Jiang paused and then said.
"Although I competed with her, to be honest, I didn't see the depth of her strength at all. She is a bit unfathomable."
Hearing Murong Jiang's words, Li Yi was also a little surprised.
He did not expect that Duan Lian could be praised so highly by Murong Jiang. It seemed that his strength should not be underestimated.
but……
Recalling Chen Hsinchu's performance in defeating Xia Lixuan, Li Yi still believed that Chen Hsinchu had a better chance of winning.
Thinking of this, Li Yi smiled, looked at the two people in the competition field, and said softly.
"Then let's wait and see."
…
Under the gaze of countless people in the field, Chen Xinzhu did not dodge in the face of nearly a hundred red streams of light coming at extremely fast speeds.
Seeing that Chen Xinzhu was about to be drowned by the red light...
Clang!
Chen Xinzhu instantly drew his sword out of its sheath and slashed horizontally!
In an instant, a huge half-moon-shaped sword energy appeared instantly, and the sword light flashed!
Bang! Bang!
Just like cleaning up garbage, wherever the half-moon-shaped sword energy passed by, the red stream of light shattered and dissipated.
Chen Xinzhu wasted no time, and quickly rushed towards Duan Lian, who was not far away.
Seeing this sudden change, Duan Lian's expression remained unchanged.
She had expected that Chen Xinzhu still had reservations.
(Looking for the sun with one finger!)
Duan Lian stopped and stood firm. A bright red light suddenly lit up on the index finger of his right hand.
This is the killer move of Xunyang Finger!
call out!
A crimson finger shot out in an instant, spanning dozens of meters and arriving in front of Chen Xinzhu in the blink of an eye.
Using the same moves, Duan Lian's speed is obviously much faster than Duan Ping's.
Not only the speed, but also the lethality are completely different. It is obvious that Duan Lian's understanding of Yang Seeking Finger is far beyond Duan Ping's.
but--
"Well done!"
Whoosh!
The Zixu Sword slashed out vertically, striking the incoming crimson stream of light head-on.
In an instant, a dazzling red light bloomed from the crimson stream...
Bang!
The crimson flowing light was finally cut in half by the Zixu Sword and shattered instantly.
Chen Xinzhu's robe was blown by the air waves.
Without stopping, Chen Xinzhu came within ten meters of Duan Lian.
Seeing this scene, Li Yi chuckled lightly and said to Murong Jiang, "It seems that's the end of it."
Murong Jiang disagreed.
"Unfortunately, if Mr. Chen has the same idea as you...he will definitely suffer a big loss, just like me before."
"Um??"
At this moment, Chen Xinzhu, who was in the competition arena, was less than three meters away from Duan Lian.
A flash of purple light flashed in Chen Xinzhu's hand, and the Purple Xu Sword in his hand was filled with purple light. With the blessing of Zixia Sword Qi, he instantly used a powerful air sword drawing technique.
Duan Lian's face remained expressionless, he flicked his hands together, and several red streams of light met Chen Xinzhu again.
but……
After the war started, while Duan Lian was collecting intelligence, Chen Xinzhu had already figured out the power of Duan Lian's Sun-Seeking Finger.
Chen Xinzhu did not dodge or evade, and slashed straight at Duan Lian with the Zixu sword in his hand.
Bang!
The Zixu Sword cut off the first incoming red stream of light, and its speed did not slow down. The Zixu Sword continued to move forward.
Bang!
The second stream of red light was chopped into pieces...
Bang!
The third way...
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xinzhu had swung more than half of the Zixu Sword in his hand, and the red stream of light that had been chopped into pieces reached eight streaks.
At this moment, the distance between Zixu Sword and Duan Lian is already very close!
…
(Is this the end?)
Based on Chen Xinzhu's inference, Duan Lian now has only one last chance to take action.
The previous eight attacks had no effect at all, so what about the last one?
"It's a pity that I didn't get to see the Duan family's unique skills!"
Just when Chen Xinzhu was thinking this, a faint red light lit up on Duan Lian's right index finger...
(The last struggle?)
Chen Xinzhu didn't hesitate at all, and slashed Duan Lian's neck with the Zixu Sword in his hand.
But at this moment, Chen Xinzhu suddenly felt a fatal sense of crisis.
Looking at the girl in front of him, an incredible scene appeared in Chen Xinzhu's field of vision.
On Duan Lian's index finger, a dark red ball lit up, like a miniature sun.
When the "little sun" flips over, Chen Xinzhu can feel the terrifying energy contained in it. This is the source of the sense of crisis!
(One yang finger!!)
As soon as Chen Xinzhu had this idea, the "little sun" on Duan Lian's index finger instantly turned into a crimson light and hit his chest.
Instinctively, Chen Xinzhu gave up the attack in an instant, stepped heavily on his feet, and dodged aside in an instant.
At this moment, Chen Xinzhu did not hold back at all. The Zixia Sword Qi in his body boiled violently and quickly filled his legs. The Jin Yan Gong, which had reached the level of Dacheng, was operating at full strength in an instant.
In less than a tenth of a breath, Chen Xinzhu moved half a meter to the side!
but……
The speed of Duan Lian's "Little Sun" is really too fast, even faster than Chen Xinzhu's previous sword speed.
Even though Chen Xinzhu tried his best to dodge, in the end... he was still passed by "Little Sun"!
Boom!
The "little sun" hit the mountain wall heavily, and an earth-shattering sound erupted in an instant, the rocks cracked, and sand and rocks flew...
“This, this, this—!!”
Seeing this scene, Li Yi in the mountain forest was extremely shocked.
In fact, it was not just Li Yi. The next moment, the whole audience burst into cheers, and the atmosphere reached its peak!
"Too strong!!"
"This power is so terrifying!"
"I didn't expect Fairy Duan Lian to have such a trump card. It seems that the balance of victory is about to change."
"Fairy Duan Lian, you are too strong!"
"It seems that the winner is about to come out..."
"What a pity, Chen Shaoxia was just a little short of winning!!"
…
After taking a look at the burnt robe on his side, Chen Xinzhu was extremely amazed.
Just a little bit different...
He loses!
At this moment, Chen Xinzhu finally saw Duan Lian's plan.
All her previous actions were completely preparing for this attack.
Whether it is her constant long-range attacks, or her constant dodging and distance, it is creating an illusion for Chen Xinzhu...
Duan Lian's melee combat skills are not as good as Chen Xinzhu's!
At the beginning, Chen Xinzhu was a little wary, but after a quarter of an hour of "hide and seek", Chen Xinzhu couldn't help but look down on her.
People with good skills may be bold, but people with high skills may underestimate others.
Under Duan Lian's deliberate guidance, Chen Xinzhu fell into her trap and unknowingly became her puppet.
If it weren't for his powerful soul perception, he would have sensed the danger in advance.
At that moment, he had already lost...
…
Off the court, Yan Ding wiped away a cold sweat.
At that moment, even he was shocked. He even thought Chen Xinzhu was going to lose!
"Is this the Duan family's Yangzhi?" Yan Ding's tone was a little dry.
"Well, it's the secret skill of the Duan family... Yiyang Finger!" The middle-aged man in blue shirt from the Murong family said in a serious tone.
"This speed is really terrifying!" A certain innate was still frightened.
"Although Yiyangzhi is not bad, the little girl from the Duan family is more terrifying." Ji Tianhan's face was extremely serious.
"Yeah, even I didn't react until the last moment. Thinking about it now makes me a little scared."
"That's right, at that moment, even I broke out in a few drops of cold sweat."
After hearing everyone's words, Yan Ding's expression became more serious.
(In terms of martial arts, although the little girl from the Duan family has mastered the Yiyang Finger, Master Nephew Chen has also mastered the Zixia Magic Kung Fu, and is no weaker than her.)
Although he thought so, Yan Ding still couldn't feel relieved when he recalled the situation just now.
(Can Master Nephew Chen win?)
At this moment, even Yan Ding felt a little unconfident...
"Can Senior Brother Chen still win?" Yang Jianzhang murmured bitterly.
Zheng Ning's face next to him was also extremely serious. He looked at Chen Xinzhu in the competition arena and said nothing.
but……
"What are you talking about?" Xue Jiang's tone was high.
Seeing Yang Jianzhang and Zheng Ning looking over, Xue Jiang smiled confidently and said in an extremely serious tone.
"Senior Brother Chen... of course he will win!"
…
In the fighting arena.
Chen Xinzhu swept across with his long sword, Duan Lian ducked sideways and attacked with one finger.
His feet moved slightly, and with his superior Qinggong, Chen Xinzhu easily dodged Duan Lian's counterattack.
"Why don't you use Yiyangzhi?"
While sighing at the girl's strength, Chen Xinzhu asked casually.
"Fei is so angry!"
Chen Xinzhu was a little surprised when he heard Duan Lian's cold words.
He never thought that Duan Lian would answer...
Okay, if you think about it carefully, it is normal that such a big killing move requires more energy, especially for Houtian realm warriors.
Isn't he the same?
Thinking of this, Chen Xinzhu stopped talking and concentrated his mind, waving the Zixu sword up and down in all directions, putting Duan Lian at a disadvantage again.
However, this time, he kept an extra thought in mind.
(Next time, kill it with one strike when you get the chance.)
Bang!
Duan Lian placed his fingers heavily on the side of the sword, hindering Chen Xinzhu's attack. At the same time, he kicked Chen Xinzhu's bottom lane with a red light.
With his mind concentrated, Chen Xinzhu reacted quickly, and his right foot brought purple light to meet Duan Lian's jade leg.
Bang!
Waves of air flew around, and Duan Lian used his strength to quickly retreat back, just in time to avoid Chen Xinzhu's long sword.
Chen Xinzhu didn't want to let her go, so he moved his feet and quickly chased after her.
After taking precautions, dangerous situations like just now are no longer possible.
As long as he plays steadily, Chen Xinzhu is confident of achieving final victory.
(Come on, Yiyangzhi!)
At this moment, Chen Xinzhu was ready to face Yi Yangzhi head-on!
but……
Another half-quarter of an hour passed, and although Duan Lian was already at an absolute disadvantage, she just didn't use her Yang Finger.
"This is the fifth time I feel like this!"
Duan Lian had at least five opportunities to use Yi Yang Finger, but she just let these opportunities pass.
Why exactly—in fact, even Duan Lian himself didn’t know the reason.
She just felt it...
Whenever she was about to use her Yang Finger, her instinct would strongly stop her.
Under this instinct, her cautious temperament made her hesitate and she delayed in launching a counterattack.
She could feel that as long as she used her Yang Finger, she would face an extremely strong counterattack.
She had this premonition...
(Do you want to admit defeat?)
At this moment, the girl's fighting spirit was a little low.
In her opinion, if you continue to fight, you may not be able to win, so it is better to just admit defeat.
Anyway, we have reached the top eight of the list and have successfully completed the old man's mission.
but……
At this moment, Duan Lian suddenly saw Duan Ping off the court from the corner of his eye.
The uncle who had been clamoring for her to avenge him last night was unusually quiet at this time.
Duan Lian could see that this uncle no longer had any thoughts of revenge at this moment, but only worried about his niece.
"Why!"
Sighing softly, Duan Lian couldn't help but recall the experience of being carried by this uncle on his back and sneaking out of the palace when he was a child.
That was her happiest time...
Although the uncle later became estranged from their family due to some events, she still cherished this memory.
(Forget it, let’s try again.)
If it still doesn't work, admit defeat.
As soon as he thought of this, Duan Lian discovered an excellent opportunity. Without any hesitation, the crimson light lit up again on the index finger of Duan Lian's right hand.
Yiyangzhi...reappears!
Seeing this scene, Chen Xinzhu's eyes lit up.
The Zixia Sword Qi in his body boiled instantly and rushed towards the sword body.
(Come on, let me see your Yi Yang Finger and my Zixia Magic Skill, which one is stronger?)
Under the nervous gaze of everyone present, the "little sun" on Duan Lian's index finger appeared again!
Chen Xinzhu let out a heavy breath and clenched the Zixu Sword with both hands.
"Deadly Chain - Three Immortal Swords!"
After chanting silently in his heart, Chen Xinzhu's Zixu Sword instantly turned into a ray of purple light, like the divine thunder from the Nine Heavens descending, and slashed hard at Duan Lian.
Feeling Chen Xinzhu's terrifying sword intent that cut off everything, Duan Lian felt relieved.
(Is this where that feeling comes from?)
The three deadly swords in a chain have reached the level of Dacheng!
Coupled with the blessing of Zixia's magical power, this sword can definitely cut off the "little sun" like just now!
but……
(Although it is still a Yang finger, this time it is the eighth level.)
Duan Lian didn't hesitate at all, and instantly pointed at the sword that was coming towards him with a finger in his hand.
At this moment, Chen Xinzhu felt a strong crisis again.
--no!!
Chen Xinzhu is very sure.
——This is not enough!
The sense of crisis that this point in front of him gave him even exceeded the several Xiantian realm opponents he had encountered before.
In front of this finger...
If he doesn't make changes, he will definitely fail!
(Duan Lian?...You are really strong!)
but……
(I don’t want to lose again in this life!)
In an instant, Chen Xinzhu once again burst out with an extremely huge Zixia Sword Qi.
Faced with such an opponent, Chen Xinzhu let go of all suppression of Zixia's sword energy...
The edge of the sword energy shot straight into the sky, the air was twisted, and the purple light was brilliant.
Except for the realm of swordsmanship, at this moment, Chen Xinzhu had already used all his strength.
(I didn’t expect that I would be forced to this point just after the quarterfinals.)
With a touch of emotion, Chen Xinzhu's Zixu Sword instantly lit up with a dazzling purple light.
Boom!
“——————!!”
A sword and a finger collided instantly.
The next moment, like thunder falling from the sky, a strong roar and light burst out, taking away all colors and sounds...
