Chapter 259 The Last Day

Chapter 259 The Last Day

Another day of competition has come to an end; tomorrow will be the last day.

That is, the ranking battle for the top ten.

However, at the end of today's competition, Nie Tianyuan solemnly reiterated the rules, forbidding any signs of murder during the competition.

Those who violate this rule will be disqualified immediately and will be subject to severe penalties!

This is clearly aimed at Lin Que.

After all, they had already witnessed the power of his sword strike.

It can be said that it is an unsolvable existence in the same realm, unless there is some kind of protective magic treasure to resist it.

But this didn't matter to Lin Que.

Anyway, he didn't plan to use that sword again in the following matches.

Putting aside the fact that using this sword technique consumes a great deal of energy, it basically leaves one with no ability to resist after the strike.

Those who make it into the top ten all have certain survival mechanisms and won't easily fall victim to such an attack.

Even if they don't, I believe they will after today.

The fragmented soul within Ye Xinghun's body probably didn't expect this situation to occur. Whether it was due to carelessness or arrogance, no one knows.

Of course, Lin Que will also have to be careful not to expose himself again in the upcoming matches.

Because of this sword strike, Lin Que guessed that he had already attracted the attention of some powerful figures, and he had to be careful.

At this moment, within the Xuan Yin Sect's headquarters...

Tianyin Old Ghost stared grimly at Ye Xinghun, who was lying unconscious on the bed, emanating a strong killing intent from his body!

The sect elders standing behind him all kept their heads down and dared not raise them.

They were all under the extremely oppressive aura of the old ghost Tianyin, and cold sweat was pouring down their foreheads!

"All of you keep a close eye on that kid!"

"besides!"

"Go and contact the Heavenly Star Pavilion for me!"

"I will ensure that brat has nowhere to escape and dies without a burial place!!!"

A moment later, Tianyin Old Ghost gritted his teeth and spat out these words.

"Yes, sir!"

The sect elders standing behind Tianyin Old Ghost all clasped their hands in a respectful bow.

They all then left, not daring to linger in the room, leaving only the Old Ghost of the Dark Sky.

After leaving the room, the elders of the Xuan Yin Sect breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at each other in dismay.

After nodding to each other, they immediately left to carry out the tasks assigned by the old ghost Tianyin.

......

The next day, when Lin Que reappeared.

Just like yesterday, everyone showed him the utmost respect!

That's how it is in the world of cultivation: the strong are respected!

This time was slightly different, however, as even some figures from the eight major families and the four holy lands turned their attention to Lin Que.

This made Lin Que's heart skip a beat!

Just as he had guessed, his performance yesterday had already caught the attention of some people.

Actually, that's not the case. Lin Que had already attracted the attention of a few people during the previous competition.

The reason is nothing more than the swordsmanship he used.

After everyone was seated, the void projection reappeared, and Nie Tianyuan, as always, began without saying much.

As the projection froze, it turned out that Chen Jiuge was the first to appear in the competition.

Moreover, his opponent is Lin Que's "old acquaintance," Gu Changye!

Seeing this, Chen Jiuge gave Lin Que a helpless smile!

"Junior brother, it seems I will never have the chance to fight you again."

"I probably can't beat him."

"It's up to you from now on."

After saying that, Chen Jiuge walked towards the arena.

"There will be plenty of opportunities, just do your best, Senior Brother!" Lin Que nodded.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiuge did not turn around, but waved his hand casually.

Although Lin Que and his group had great confidence in Chen Jiuge, their opponent was Gu Changye, making this battle extremely difficult.

The appearance of the two caused the female cultivators in the audience to erupt in cheers once again!

They didn't even know who to support in this battle.

“I can sense that you have also comprehended the sword intent.” Gu Changye looked at Chen Jiuge and said, “Since you and that kid come from the same sect.”

"Then don't disappoint me."

Chen Jiuge smiled lazily!

"I'm nowhere near as good as my junior brother..."

Even so, Chen Jiuge still cheered himself up, after all, he couldn't afford to lose too badly.

Immediately afterwards, Nie Tianyuan announced the start of the competition!

What was unexpected was that at the start of the competition, the two of them simultaneously unleashed two extremely powerful sword intents!

At that moment, both of their longswords were drawn simultaneously!

The sword intent soared straight into the sky, piercing through the white clouds above, leaving everyone in awe!

Without further ado, the two figures vanished from the arena in an instant, and then everyone saw sword energy clashing.

The dazzling sword moves covered the entire arena!

The intensity was so great from the start, it's clear that neither side held back.

To Lin Que's surprise, Gu Changye had stopped showing off and had thrown away his folding fan somewhere.

It's speculated that he might have suffered a loss at the hands of Ye Xinghun.

In fact, Lin Que's guess was completely correct. After watching the match between Lin Que and Ye Xinghun yesterday, Gu Changye suddenly realized that it was also good to end the battle quickly.

After all, that sword strike was truly spectacular!

This led Gu Changye to realize a truth.

Why put on such a show? It's all just empty bravado!

Therefore, when he faced Chen Jiuge, he immediately unleashed his full strength, intending to defeat him in one fell swoop.

Although Chen Jiuge's strength is not as good as Lin Que and Ye Xinghun, it won't be easy for Gu Changye to defeat him quickly.

On the arena, every sword move that Gu Changye made was neutralized by Chen Jiuge, who then launched a counterattack.

This made Gu Changye frown slightly, not expecting this person to be quite capable.

Then, as the two swordplays became more intense, the arena, which had just been repaired yesterday, was destroyed once again!

The clash of sword energies from their every move seemed capable of tearing the void apart.

In particular, the two intense sword intents made everyone watching feel extremely dangerous, causing a chill to run down their spines!

Furthermore, with the clash and intertwining of sword intents, the arena at this moment is like an independent space that has been enveloped and cut apart.

It was as if anyone who dared to step into this space would be torn apart like a thin piece of paper by the boundless sword energy within.

This is a battle that no one in the same realm can interfere with.

Lin Que's gaze suddenly sharpened as he watched!

"My senior brother is about to lose..."

Feng Wudao, who was watching the competition intently, was immediately startled by Lin Que's words!

He quickly asked, "Junior brother, why would you say that?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Que sighed and said, "I have fought with Gu Changye before, and I know how strong he is."

"Although my senior brother was able to block all of his sword moves and even counterattack."

"But that was before; you'll see if you look closely."

"As time went by, my senior brother could only defend himself; he no longer had the space to fight back."

"The consumption must have been enormous, but looking at Gu Changye..."

"His complexion remained unchanged from beginning to end, as if he had not consumed any energy."

as predicted!

After listening to Lin Que's words, Feng Wudao began to observe carefully.

Just as he said, Chen Jiuge's expression became more serious with each sword move he deflected from Gu Changye's.

Gu Changye, however, showed no change whatsoever, appearing relaxed and at ease!

"Your strength is indeed impressive!"

"But, let's end it..."

After Gu Changye swung his sword and forced Chen Jiuge back, his aura surged once again!

The longsword in his hand burst forth with dazzling sword light!

It seems like something is brewing...
