"Song Wen'an wins and advances into the top ten of this competition."
Song Wen'an, with blood-stained white hair, silently retracted the flying sword and wiped away the blood on it with his spiritual power.
Tang Tang is very powerful. If he is not killed, he will be the only one to die in the end.
Fortunately, the illusion array he set up successfully deceived it, so he got the chance to kill it with one blow.
The disciples never expected such an outcome. Senior Brother Tang, who had the advantage, was killed.
"What's going on? Why didn't Senior Brother Tang Tang dodge Senior Brother Song's flying sword? And he didn't even notice after being hit by the sword."
"I see!"
A formation disciple thought of a possibility and became excited. "It's an illusion formation. Senior Brother Song seems to be at a disadvantage and keeps dodging. In fact, he is taking this opportunity to set up an illusion formation to confuse Senior Brother Tang's mind and find a chance to counterattack!"
"Illusion array?"
The others looked surprised. No wonder Senior Brother Tang behaved so strangely. It turned out that he was trapped in an illusion.
Song Wen'an's attainments in formation cultivation are evident from his ability to set up a magic formation without anyone noticing during a battle.
The formation disciple nodded and looked in the direction of Song Wen'an with a fanatical look.
"I even suspect that Senior Brother Song set up a second-grade illusion array. With Senior Brother Tang's cultivation, a first-grade top-grade illusion array would not be able to trap him for long. And did you notice that after Senior Brother Tang was pierced through the heart by the flying sword, he did not feel even the slightest pain. This is not something that a first-grade illusion array can do."
"Level 2 Illusion Formation, how is this possible!"
The people around couldn't help but exclaimed, "That's something that only the foundation-building uncle can master. Even though Senior Brother Song is proficient in formations, he can't possibly know even a second-level formation, right?"
The formation disciple shook his head, "Nothing is absolute. Senior Brother Song has studied formations for decades, so it is very likely that he can use a second-level formation."
Everyone was terrified. If Senior Brother Tang Tang had really entered the second-level illusion array, then his loss would not be unfair.
While the disciples were discussing this, Lan Wei from Group 3 defeated her opponent and successfully entered the top ten.
When the competition reached the fourth round, Gan Yiqiu's opponent didn't even enter the ring and directly admitted defeat.
Gan Yiqiu suddenly felt bored, and stood on the stage and shouted to the loser, "It's too boring to just admit defeat like that, don't you really want to fight? I will be very measured in my attack. Maybe you'll be lucky and win."
The person who was called out turned pale. Gan Yiqiu had just crippled a man not long ago, but now he was saying that he should be careful when attacking. He only had one life, and he wanted to keep it for the next outer sect competition.
"Gan Yiqiu wins and advances into the top ten of this competition."
The foundation-building cultivator standing by was speechless as he watched Gan Yiqiu jumping around on the stage, and drove him off the stage after the result was announced.
This little episode did not affect the following competition. The last match of the finals would determine who would eventually advance to the top ten. Even if they knew they could not win, there were still many people who wanted to give it a try.
However, the gap in strength between the monks was not easily overcome, and in the final battle, no one held back at all.
The fight became brutal at one point, with casualties continuing to occur.
Some people were so seriously injured that they had to be carried off the field.
Seeing this scene, the disciples outside the venue felt sympathetic. As outer disciples, it was too difficult to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Although it is not easy for inner disciples to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, as it requires 30,000 contribution points to exchange for it, at least they do not need to risk their lives.
If outer disciples want to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, the only way is to participate in the Outer Sect Competition. There is no other possibility.
As the competition progressed, this competition finally came to an end.
"Group 10, number two Xu Chunniang versus number four Liu Yujia."
After the foundation-building cultivator finished speaking, two female cultivators walked onto the stage one after the other.
The last top ten candidate will be born in this battle.
The two looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
Liu Yujia chuckled, "I admit that Junior Sister Xu is very strong. It is rare to see her reach this level at such a young age. Junior Sister is young, so she can wait for the next competition, but I don't have that much time to wait. I must get this foundation-building pill."
She said the words "we must win" in a very decisive manner.
Xu Chunniang pursed her lips slightly, "The Foundation Building Pill is not something I can give up easily, so I can only offend Senior Sister."
Liu Yujia nodded slightly, "In that case, let's see what happens next."
When the foundation-building cultivator announced the official start of the competition, Liu Yujia tapped her toes lightly and retreated backwards like a bird in smoke.
Wherever Liu Yujia went, green smoke rose up.
With the cover of the green smoke, her figure seemed vague and unclear, making it difficult to see clearly.
"This is Senior Sister Liu's body movement technique, 'Smoke and Cloud Step'. It is said that Senior Sister Liu was favored by a foundation-building master uncle and was able to pass it down. This Smoke and Cloud Step not only has infinite variations, but also has the ability to psychedelically deceive people."
"In the previous duels, Senior Sister Liu never used this body movement technique. It seems that she is going to use it for real now. Senior Sister Xu is still a little inferior to Senior Sister Liu."
"Sister Xu has made it this far in her first competition, which has proven her strength. I believe she will be able to advance to the top ten in the next competition."
On the field, Xu Chunniang looked at the smoke rising everywhere and Liu Yujia who was uncertain in the smoke, and took out the Delusion-Breaking Pearl with a calm expression.
After sending the spiritual power into the Delusion-Breaking Pearl, a mysterious force emerged from it and covered Xu Chunniang's eyes.
With the power of the Delusion-Breaking Pearl, Xu Chunniang saw clearly where Liu Yujia's true body was, but she did not act rashly.
At this time, Liu Yujia didn't know that the Smoke and Cloud Step, which she regarded as her trump card, had been easily cracked.
She controlled the flying sword and shot towards Xu Chunniang.
At the same time, a willow-leaf-shaped dart appeared in his hand.
The dart is slender and small, with a silvery-white luster all over, and it is easy to overlook it if you don't look carefully.
Xu Chunniang probably guessed Liu Yujia's plan. She wanted to use the flying sword to distract her attention and then launch a sneak attack with the willow leaf dart.
She had an idea and pretended to be unaware of the situation. She took out the blue-patterned tripod and concentrated on dealing with the flying sword.
Under Liu Yujia's control, the flying sword's attack was treacherous and invisible, and the battle with Xu Chunniang was very stalemate.
Liu Yujia himself took this opportunity to constantly change position, looking for the best time to attack.
Xu Chunniang seemed to be unable to keep up with the speed of the flying sword, so she began to use the power of talismans, constantly taking out some talismans to resist.
She had to deal with the flying sword in front of her while being on guard against Liu Yujia who might appear at any time. She looked quite struggling.
Liu Yujia was very calm and did not attack casually, but continued to use the flying sword to exert pressure. She was waiting for the opportunity to hit the target.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long for this moment.
After the talisman in Xu Chunniang's hand became ineffective again, she did not take out a new talisman, but tried her best to control the green cauldron to fight against the flying sword.
Liu Yujia was delighted and guessed that her talismans were almost used up.
After waiting for an opportunity, she unhesitatingly fired the dart in her hand towards Xu Chunniang's heart.
