The sound of a sword rang out, like the roar of a tiger or a dragon, and Zhuo Qingfeng suddenly drew his sword.
The green light burst out with astonishing power, enveloping Jiang Yuebai like a violent storm.
Jiang Yuebai was fearless, the shadow of his gun flickered and cascaded like waves, and he fought Zhuo Qingfeng head-on.
Zhuo Qingfeng was at the ninth level of Qi training, while Jiang Yuebai was at the eighth level. The difference in their cultivation levels was not reflected at all. The shadow of the spear brought up lightning like a dragon, and it turned the world upside down in the fierce and swift sword of Zhuo Qingfeng.
In an instant, the swords and guns collided dozens or hundreds of times, and lightning flashed everywhere.
Zhuo Qingfeng became more and more frightened as the fight went on. He never expected that his opponent was so powerful and could be evenly matched with him, forcing him to fight with all his strength.
boom!
After a loud bang, two figures shot out in opposite directions, grass debris flew all over the ground, and dust filled the sky. When everything calmed down, only a deep pit remained.
Arcs of electricity splashed from Jiang Yuebai's Thunder Spear, and he waved his hand to throw out a formation plate. Black light formed a mysterious pattern under Jiang Yuebai's feet, and the water gathering formation fell next to the river.
Water spiritual energy rushed into the body to replenish the consumption. Jiang Yuebai did not wait for Zhuo Qingfeng to react. He stirred his left hand smoothly, drawing out half of the spiritual energy in the body to gather water into mist.
Cloud and thunder!
Golden light rained down, Zhuo Qingfeng's face was solemn as if facing a powerful enemy, the long sword in his hand rolled up, stirring up the wind and clouds to meet the attack.
break!
Thunder roared, lightning flashed like a tide, and a vast silver sea broke through the wind and clouds, completely engulfing Zhuo Qingfeng.
In the square, several foundation-building sword practitioners from Guiyuan Sword Sect hurried forward, terrified.
clang!
The sword roared to the sky, and the huge green sword suddenly tore open the sea of thunder. Zhuo Qingfeng held the sword in both hands with a cold face, and a strong wind surrounded his body, pushing away the clouds and thunder from getting close to him.
Jiang Yuebai frowned, put away his gun and replaced it with a knife. At the moment the sea of thunder was torn apart, he rushed forward, and all the spiritual energy in his body was concentrated on the knife, with such force that it was like cutting through thunder.
Three Water-Breaking Swords!
The murderous aura made Zhuo Qingfeng's scalp tighten, and he fought back with all his strength.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Three loud noises were heard, and three sword shadows appeared almost simultaneously in front of Zhuo Qingfeng's three vital points, barely blocking the three swords.
Swords were crossed and light shot out in both directions.
Zhuo Qingfeng was still frightened. This was the first time someone forced him to fight back passively.
Jiang Yuebai's pupils trembled. It was the first time for her that someone blocked two of her special moves in a row.
Since returning to the mines, she has rarely encountered an opponent, so she is naturally a bit arrogant. Meeting Zhuo Qingfeng at this moment is like a blow to the head, which makes her sober up immediately.
There is always someone better than you.
Jiang Yuebai suddenly smiled. The feeling of having a rival made her blood boil.
Jiang Yuebai's smile dazzled Zhuo Qingfeng's eyes. He was stunned for a moment, thinking that Jiang Yuebai was mocking him. His whole body was shining with green light, and the sword energy gathered wildly, and he chopped back at the fastest speed.
The distance was too close, and the speed of the Wild Wind Sword Intent meant that the Earth Escape Talisman could not be activated in time. Jiang Yuebai blocked with his sword and activated the Green Rock Shield on the Wolf Pattern Armor.
The Qingyan shield shattered, and the sword energy tornado hit Jiang Yuebai's shoulder hard. The outer layer of the robe and the inner layer of the wolf-patterned armor were torn apart. Jiang Yuebai's shoulder felt a sharp pain as if he had been hit hard, and he flew backwards.
Zhuo Qingfeng was as fast as a startled wild goose and pursued the victory. The fierce sword energy instantly enveloped Jiang Yuebai.
Blood rushed to his throat, Jiang Yuebai flew backwards in the air with all his strength, forming a seal with each hand and suddenly clasped them together.
Bang!
Flame thunder explodes!
The golden needles hit the face like a rainbow piercing the sun.
The violent aura shocked Zhuo Qingfeng's heart, and he quickly drew his sword to resist.
Boom boom boom!
The lightning caused a fire, and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.
Jiang Yuebai fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood, his shoulder was bloody and his body was cut and bleeding in many places.
Fortunately, her robes and wolf-patterned armor blocked most of the damage, and she had also done some physical training so she didn't hurt any bones or muscles.
But this sword energy is indeed sharper and more difficult to stop than ordinary spiritual energy, and is comparable to the sword light produced by her grandmaster's swordsmanship.
Jiang Yuebai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up. The flames disappeared and Zhuo Qingfeng fell on the edge of the explosion. There were traces of burns on his clothes and there was blood at the corner of his lips.
Although he was in a mess, he was only slightly injured and not seriously hurt.
Jiang Yuebai took out Sui Han Qing and took a sip, then stood in the water gathering formation to recover his spiritual energy and watched Zhuo Qingfeng stand up again.
Upon discovering that Jiang Yuebai only had minor injuries, Zhuo Qingfeng's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, astonished by how strong her body was.
"Who are you? How could someone like you be unknown in the Tianyan Sect?!"
This question puzzled not only Zhuo Qingfeng, but everyone around the square as well.
Shi Zhongshan looked at Wen Miao, then stared at Wen Ci and snorted and laughed.
"She has mastered the power of thunder and lightning, is proficient in two weapons, and can form a spell with one hand in an instant. The power of her spells shows that she has an astonishing amount of spiritual energy. Her physique is comparable to that of a Buddhist monk. In every aspect, she is far superior to a Qi training master. But she is only at the eighth level of Qi training. Sect Master Wen, you are telling me that she is a nobody?"
Wen Miao glanced at Shi Zhongshan and said to Wen Ci, "It's not your fault. This girl is just like Li Jiuchuan back then. She was born as a servant. She is at the bottom of society and is cautious and prudent. She has her own considerations."
"I heard Jiuchuan say that after she returned from Yinshan, she had not shown her talent in other aspects except for the fifth-level farming spell. Who would have known that she had such a skill? Jiuchuan also gradually became famous after she established her foundation."
"It's hard for a person with five spiritual roots to be outstanding. As the sect master, you should consider the overall strength of the sect and naturally focus on disciples with better spiritual roots. There is still a long way to go, so it's not too late."
Wen Ci nodded. She was truly amazed by Jiang Yuebai today. He looked even better than Li Jiuchuan back then.
At first, everyone thought that she was unlucky to meet Zhuo Qingfeng and that she had started off badly.
But at this moment, Zhuo Qingfeng, who was in the early stage of foundation building, was beaten by her until he vomited blood. The fact that the outcome was still undecided showed how powerful Jiang Yuebai was.
It’s hard to say now who is unlucky.
"Who is stronger, Jiang Yuebai or Lu Nanzhi?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen them fight. I feel she is no worse than Lu Nanzhi."
"Where on earth did she come from? Why have I never heard of her name before?"
"I knew she was a spiritual farmer. I laughed at her with Qi Tianbao. Now thinking about it, I feel ashamed."
"Hahaha, the best Qi practitioner in the Sword Sect was beaten to vomit blood by a farmer in our sect. It was so fucking satisfying hahaha."
Whispering sounds came from the group of Qi training disciples outside the square, and their eyes were cast towards the mirage with expectation.
Shi Zhongshan heard it clearly, his face turned pale, he clenched his fists and said nothing.
Everyone was looking forward to the outcome, but little did they know that Jiang Yuebai had already begun to consider retreating.
The competition had just started for less than half an hour. If she wanted to defeat Zhuo Qingfeng, she had to try her best to have a chance.
She left the Eight Formation Plate behind to protect Huaxi Valley, although she also had hidden formation plates, formation flags, eighth-grade talismans, and two combat puppets.
But her goal was not to defeat Zhuo Qingfeng alone, but to win the first place in the competition.
So... Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!
"Lu Nanzhi!"
Jiang Yuebai looked behind Zhuo Qingfeng and shouted, taking advantage of his panic to throw out a handful of ice thorns with one hand and perform the entanglement technique with the other hand.
The vines grew instantly, cold air spread, and snakes danced wildly.
Zhuo Qingfeng frowned and swung his sword wildly, like a violent storm, tearing through the thorns in an instant and leaping out.
However, Jiang Yuebai had already activated the water escape talisman and escaped from the river.
Zhuo Qingfeng gripped his sword tightly and scanned the surroundings, but could not find any trace.
A strong wind swept across, spreading outward from Zhuo Qingfeng's body, leaving no grass growing wherever it passed.
After a moment, Zhuo Qingfeng took a deep breath to calm himself and looked towards the central column of light in this world.
"Jiang Yuebai, don't even think about escaping from this battle!"
Zhuo Qingfeng sheathed his sword and galloped away on the breeze.
There were sighs and anguish all around the square.
"I think Jiang Yuebai knew he couldn't beat Zhuo Qingfeng, so he just ran away."
"That's right. She has almost used up all her cards. Zhuo Qingfeng hasn't used his full strength yet, so naturally he can't beat her."
Hong Tao sneered as he listened to the discussion among the foundation-building cultivators of Guiyuan Sword Sect.
"As long as they all go to the center, we will meet again sooner or later. The winner will be decided by then. Please be careful with your words, lest you get embarrassed and step down."
Gongsun Zhu, Yu Qiuchi and others nodded in agreement, and they all supported Jiang Yuebai in their hearts.
A dark horse breaks through the siege and makes a stunning debut.
Shi Zhongshan remained silent. It was because they had praised Zhuo Qingfeng too highly before and now he was at a disadvantage. Although the people around him did not mock him verbally, the look in their eyes made Shi Zhongshan feel uncomfortable.
Wen Miao shook the wine jug and watched with interest as Jiang Yuebai emerged from the downstream of the river and fell to the shore to rest.
"She knows when to advance and when to retreat, and she can distinguish priorities and not be too competitive. That's good! I hope she can hold on to the end. In addition to other disciples, there are many more and greater dangers in this mirror world."
After Wen Miao finished speaking, everyone discovered that in the dense forest in front of Jiang Yuebai, there was a gathering of evil spirits and many ghostly shadows.
