Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 182 The battle for leadership
"This is……"

Everyone was confused and thought Chu Li was going to admit defeat. After all, the sword intent was right in front of them, so what was the point of just flashing some golden lines?

But the people in front of the hall were different. Looking at the golden lines, surprise appeared on their faces.

"Kakaka!"

The sword intent approached and collided with the golden thread on the way, and suddenly a series of teeth-grinding sounds were heard.

At this time, the golden thread seemed to be real, and it actually blocked the unstoppable and cold sword intent and fought against it.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's face changed and he hurriedly wanted to swing the knife again, but he suddenly found that his magic power had been exhausted.

The sound continued, the golden thread became more and more dazzling, and it connected from beginning to end without leaving a gap.

Looking at the inexplicable golden thread that had surrounded him, Jiang Cheng's mind was racing, but he couldn't recognize what kind of magic it was. He only felt that it was a vague sense of formation!

"Sword formation technique..."

In front of the hall, Sect Leader Qin spoke slowly, with a hint of sigh in his tone.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this boy is truly gifted. Your sect will surely prosper in the future with such a fine disciple!"

Everyone nodded and looked at Xiao Jingyuan, who could no longer hide his smile.

"Not only has he comprehended the sword light with his Qi Condensation Body, but now he can even perform the sword formation technique. Even Fellow Daoist Xiao cannot match his talent!"

The female cultivator from Yuehua Mountain covered her mouth and smiled, teasing Xiao Jingyuan.

The sword formation technique combines sword control techniques with specific formations, and is extremely powerful!

However, this technique is extremely complicated and tedious, and the difficulty of practicing it is greatly increased, so it is generally a method commonly used by foundation-building sword practitioners to fight against enemies.

However, Chu Li was able to memorize and comprehend things with the spiritual consciousness of the Qi Condensation Stage, which really surprised them...

At this moment, the arena was already covered with golden sword marks emitting a cold aura, and with the help of Chu Li's magic power, they were gradually moving towards the center.

The slender long sword surrounded by purple was the first to be hit. When it came into contact with the approaching golden wire, a buzzing sound was heard and slowly dissipated in Jiang Cheng's hand.

This change also brought his mind back. Jiang Cheng suddenly raised his eyes and saw the golden sword mark close at hand.

"Ah……"

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, then said in a trance: "I give up."

After two years of hard training, he finally acquired the Heavenly Purple Maple Blade, hoping to defeat Chu Li one day and avenge his defeat at the Beast Taming Banquet. But who could have imagined...

"never mind……"

Taoist Zhang, who had been watching carefully, immediately used his magic power to swing his sword after hearing the word "surrender".

The next moment, the golden sword marks all over the ring disappeared bit by bit, saving Jiang Cheng's life.

"The leader of the six sects' true disciples, ask Chu Li of Jian Pavilion!"

Zhang Laodao shouted loudly, and the leader was judged.

"Hahaha... Senior Brother Chu is truly a rare talent. I've admired him since we were in the sect!"

"Brother Chu, how did you achieve that radiant sword light? Could you explain it to us?"

"Brother Chu, I wonder if you have some free time tonight. I have something to ask you..."

……

All the disciples of the Sword-Asking Pavilion congratulated him in unison, and several female cultivators took the opportunity to express their feelings.

Although the disciples from the other sects did not compliment loudly, they did not pretend to be indifferent either. They all nodded continuously with smiles on their faces.

After all, Wenjian Pavilion is a powerful sect in the minds of most people, so it is not surprising that it won the top spot.

Only the group from Zifenglin had grim expressions and stood aside in silence.

"Humph!"

In front of the hall, Liu Cheng snorted coldly, but he did not lose his composure like Jin Yetian. He just said in a cold voice: "I, Zi Fenglin, am willing to accept the defeat. You can take back all the bets I made before!" Before the gambling started, the cultivators of various sects took out a lot of resources as bets, including some things that even the foundation-building cultivators were extremely envious of.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jingyuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Ah, no rush, isn't there still one person who hasn't been chosen?"

This statement aroused the approval of Sect Leader Qin and Jin Yetian. After all, the leader of the inner sect could only come from their two sects.

"Well, let's finish the last match first, then we can talk about the bet!"

Sect Leader Qin spoke calmly and nodded towards Taoist Zhang.

"Alright." Zhang Laodao's expression changed, and he immediately shouted loudly: "The battle for the top spot will not stop for a moment! Chen Mu of Shuiyunjian and He Shan of Jinguanggu, why don't you step up and take the stage to win the championship!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples who were still discussing the battle for the top spot in the true sect became noisy again, and the shouts of cheers from the disciples of the Shuiyun and Jinguang sects were particularly loud.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Mu let out a sigh of relief.

"call!"

Niu Dali wanted to look serious and formal, but he was afraid that this would put pressure on Chen Mu, so he immediately smiled and said, "Relax, that kid is no match for you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu pursed his lips, smiled, nodded, and strode forward.

"gone!"

Standing on the stage, Chen Mu felt calm instead.

He looked at He Shan opposite him, and for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of certainty in his heart.

He Shan also regained his usual composure, and said with a very calm smile, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I've heard my junior sister talk about you. She said that Chen Mu of Shuiyunjian possesses pure magical power and impressive skills... Now that I've finally found the opportunity, I hope Fellow Daoist Chen will be willing to teach me."

Chen Mu curled his lips inwardly upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "How hypocritical..."

But on the surface, he smiled and said, "Sure, sure!"

After a moment, seeing that both of them were ready, Zhang Laodao gave Chen Mu an encouraging look, then stepped hard.

The light curtain of the arena appeared again.

"The competition begins!"

The clear voice echoed, and Chen Mu's heart moved. He did not take action immediately, but used his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings to prevent He Shan from setting up some concealment measures.

However, He Shan had the same idea as Chen Mu and did not take action immediately.

For a moment, the arena fell into an unusual silence.

"what?"

"How is this going?"

……

Chen Mu's heart sank and he ignored what everyone said.

However, He Shan didn't know whether he was disturbed or changed his strategy to deal with the enemy. Suddenly, he waved his robe and a streak of golden light flew out and swept towards him!

Faced with this powerful and inexplicable golden light, Chen Mu did not dare to be careless, so he stretched out his hand and summoned a waterfall barrier.

"Crash!"

The waterfall lasted for a moment before being cut off by a streak of golden light and dissipated.

The golden light seemed to have exhausted its spiritual power. After breaking through the waterfall, its light faded before it reached Chen Mu.

Seeing this, Chen Mu calmed down and roughly understood the specific power of this inexplicable golden light.

"I just wonder how much mana this golden light horse consumed..."

Just as he was thinking about it, He Shan successively sent out several streaks of golden light, muttering something, and suddenly the sound of chanting rang out on the stage.
