Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 667: Sword Cultivation Advantages
The night passed quickly, and at the end of the morning hour on the second day, the sound of a bell was heard from the top of Daoshi Mountain. The sun was rising in the sky, and the golden light spread over the mountains and valleys in an instant.

Chen Mu arrived here early, trying not to miss a fight.

He looked around and found that those who had attended the banquet yesterday, such as Yang Cheng, Chu Mu and others, had not shown up. Perhaps it was not over yet, or perhaps they felt that today's battle was boring and did not come.

However, what he didn't expect was that the person was at the same level as him and had arrived here early to wait.

After thinking about it, he smiled slowly and nodded.

After a while, Elder Qin slowly walked up to the stage under the gaze of thousands of cultivators and said in a loud voice, "There are still six rounds left in the first round. We will continue today. Fellow Daoist Fang, Fellow Daoist Wu, please come up to the stage."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them jumped up and landed on the stage.

A man in white clothes holding a sword, with outstanding appearance and calm expression, must be a sword cultivator with good style.

The other person bowed with a sad face, as if he had lost his parents.

It's no wonder he's acting like that, it's because his opponent is a disciple of Xian Jianchi...

Although Xian Jianchi failed to win the first place in the last sword fight, no one dared to look down on him. Even though he had mastered the secret of perfect Taoism, he was not sure of winning. He was also said to be a member of the Wu family of Danyang.

"Friend Fang, I hope you can show mercy when we fight later..."

Taoist Wu looked submissive and spoke softly.

These words were not heard by others, but they could not escape the palace above the clouds.

Danyang Wu's face instantly darkened, feeling completely humiliated...

Fang Jianxiu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, okay. Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Wu."

Hearing this, Taoist Wu breathed a sigh of relief. After stabilizing himself, he nodded to Master Han Yuan.

"Let's begin." Master Han Yuan said calmly.

"Shh!"

Almost as the voice fell, Taoist Wu heard a startling sword chant. He was startled and looked up hurriedly.

I saw a brilliant sword light rushing up from the opposite side, like a flying star, crossing the sky, and rushing straight towards this place!

The sword light was so dazzling that it actually gave off an aura like a rainbow piercing the sun, making all the cultivators present feel a little dazed.

Chen Mu's eyes lit up, and he sighed, "This is the advantage of sword cultivation!"

"Fang Daoyou, this..."

Taoist Wu was shocked and frightened, and started cursing in his heart.

Seeing such sword light, he didn't dare to bet whether Fang Jianxiu would really show mercy, so he hurriedly picked up a three-legged round tripod the size of an inch and completely red.

As soon as this thing saw the light of day, it emitted a fiery red light, covering his entire body tightly.

The sword light slashed down quickly and landed right on the red light. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of tearing cloth, and the red light burst out and scattered into pieces.

Taoist Wu lowered his eyes and saw a sword mark on the round tripod in his hand. His face changed drastically.

When Fang Jianxiu failed in his first strike, he raised another, moving so swiftly that he showed no intention of showing mercy.

Taoist Wu almost cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay. He quickly made a gesture and used his Taoist magic. With a light tap, a ray of yang fire suddenly ignited in front of him and was slapped into the round tripod by him.

With the help of Taoist magic, the sword marks on the round tripod immediately disappeared, and red rays of light suddenly rose up and circled around the body.

Seeing this, Chen Mu shook his head, feeling that Taoist Wu was about to lose.

He could see that at this moment, Taoist Wu actually had a chance to fight back, but he was afraid and didn't even try, but only strengthened his defense.

Little did he know that the stronger the defense, the more Fang Jianxiu could move freely.

This move by Taoist Wu was not the right one; it would only hasten his defeat...

The result was as he expected. Seeing Taoist Wu using the defensive technique again, Fang Jianxiu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he quietly changed his method.

I saw that the sword light was just one when it passed by, but when it reached within twenty feet, it suddenly turned into nine, connecting to each other and swirling around non-stop.

Under the sword light, Taoist Wu felt cold all over, as if his whole body was full of flaws. He quickly used Taoist magic to protect himself.

But the sword light moved left and right, real and fake, separated and combined, changing unpredictably, and always flew in from the gaps.

He watched with utmost nervousness, yet he didn't know how to resist. He could only exert all his might to urge the round tripod in his hand, while inwardly thanking Fang Jianxiu for showing mercy...

Fang Jianxiu probed for a moment, finally sensing his opportunity, and spun his sword. Beneath the azure sky, white robes fluttered. As he swung his sword, snow fell from the autumn sky, and a chilling aura filled the air.

Taoist Wu was the first to be hit. He felt his body suddenly stiffen. The flying sword was as fast as a lightning arrow and arrived in front of him in an instant, slashing directly at the red light.

"Bah!"

As if cloth was torn, a crack was instantly cut in his protective red light.

What was even more terrible was that the sword light continued to move forward and headed straight for his neck!

"I surrender!"

At the critical moment, Taoist Wu had never reacted as quickly as he did now, and he immediately admitted defeat.

A ray of clear light rose from his body, and the sword light suddenly shook and dissipated...

It was the starlight that Master Han Yuan had previously cast upon them that took effect.

Taoist Wu went through a journey before his death, gasping for breath.

It can be seen that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would lose his composure when faced with death...

True Lord Han Yuan remained calm and said, "The winner is Xian Jianchi Fanghan."

His name is Han, but he has a very easygoing personality. I don’t know if that’s true or not.

Fang Han sheathed his sword and said to Taoist Wu with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Wu, I'm grateful for your kindness."

Taoist Wu waved his hand with a forced smile and said nothing.

Of course he felt it clearly. If the True Lord had not taken action, he would have died under his sword.

It can be seen that Fang Han agreed very readily, but he did not really show any mercy.

Having lost face and been defeated, no one would be in a good mood...

While thousands of cultivators sighed, they couldn't help but sigh: "This battle is so fast, maybe the first round can be completed today."

Elder Qin had the same thought, and smiled faintly. Without pausing for a moment, he called two more people onto the stage to fight...

……

Time passed by little by little, and in the blink of an eye it was already dusk. The clouds were like fire, illuminating half of the sky.

On the high platform, spiritual light was radiating and roaring. Two figures were moving back and forth in the platform, fighting fiercely.

After a while, with the sound of one of them admitting defeat, the first round of Xuan Ji and his team finally came to an end.

After removing half of the twenty-six people, only thirteen people were able to enter the next round.

Chen Mu had not missed a single match and knew the winner very well.

Among them, there is no need to say much about the people from big sects such as the Yuanqing Sect. Except for the people from the Xianyin Cave Heaven who were eliminated at the beginning, the rest easily defeated their opponents.

What caught his special attention was the battle between Ao Yin and the Chu family of Luoshui.

Chu was particularly good at water magic, but in that battle, he had no chance to display it from beginning to end, and was suppressed by Ao Yin's cloud and rain technique.

He wasn't the only one who was stunned. Thousands of cultivators were secretly shocked, feeling that Ao Yin's talent was truly astonishing. With the body of a demon cultivator, he could actually suppress the immortal talent of the human race with his magic...

"The dragon clan is truly blessed in this world..."

Master Han Yuan also sighed silently, then looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened and it was already the You hour.

His eyes moved, and he thought to himself that he could still have a fight today, so he nodded to Elder Qin.

Elder Qin smiled knowingly, bowed, and waved his sleeves. A breeze rose from the ground and carried him to the platform.

He first threw out the lottery box, then laughed out loud, "Thirteen fellow Taoists have made another step forward. Qin congratulates you all!"

"The second round is about to begin, but I wonder which fellow Taoist will be lucky enough to get a bye?"

After saying this, he turned his gaze towards Xuan Ji and the others, and with a smile, he extended his hand to beckon them...
