A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

However, while such suppression did affect Xiaoyaozi, it could not determine the outcome of the entire battle.

Xiaoyaozi immediately used the Rejuvenation of All Things technique to resist the suppression that caused the world to lose its color.

Upon seeing this, Chisongzi used both hands simultaneously to quickly form a hand seal.

A large Tai Chi Bagua diagram appeared beneath its feet.

The Snow Clearing Sword split into two, then into four, and soon nine swords appeared beside him.

Simultaneously controlling nine swords to attack is several times more difficult than controlling three swords.

Swords flew out at lightning speed, like shooting stars, their attacks even more ferocious than before.

"The storm is coming!"

Xiaoyaozi clasped his hands together, and the surrounding air surged towards him, forming a powerful hurricane. The once clear sky suddenly darkened, and a heavy rain fell without warning.

With the help of the power of wind and rain, the Taoist scriptures around Xiaoyaozi also condensed into golden swords.

Countless flying swords on the field

The constant collisions would occasionally shatter and disappear a few swords, but new swords would soon emerge.

The powerful sword energy almost enveloped the entire Guanmiao Platform, and those closest to the platform couldn't help but take two steps back.

The clash of swords is actually a contest of internal strength between the two sides, with an energy mixed with their internal strength constantly condensing and increasing in the arena.

Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi continued their work without stopping, and Taoist runes appeared around them, eventually forming two giant dragons.

Just looking at it from afar is enough to send shivers down your spine.

The two dragons were locked in combat, and at the same time, a huge yin-yang symbol could be faintly seen beneath their feet, with the two yin-yang fish intertwined, forming a delicate balance.

The two extremely powerful internal forces seemed to freeze for a moment during their collision.

Then, like balloons bursting, these two internal forces unleashed unimaginable and terrifying power. The shockwaves caused everyone to instinctively cover their eyes.

Bei Mingzi acted immediately, lightly waving his right hand to completely stop the aftershocks of their battle; otherwise, innocent people would surely have been injured.

Everyone looked nervously towards the Observation Platform, eager to know the outcome of the duel between the two.

In the arena, both Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi were clutching their chests, with blood still on their lips, clearly having gained no advantage.

However, Xiaoyaozi's injuries seemed to be more serious, and he was somewhat unsteady on his feet. Moreover, the sword he was using had broken into two pieces.

In the contest of internal strength, Chisongzi, who had cultivated for longer, ultimately prevailed.

The competition is almost over.

Xiaoyaozi sighed and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"The Human Sect concedes defeat in this covenant between Heaven and Man!"

As he finished speaking, the outcome of this covenant between heaven and man was revealed.

For the next five years, the Snowfall Sword remained under the control of the Heavenly Sect.

But Chishongzi didn't seem very happy.

Instead, I felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and admiration).

If Xiaoyaozi hadn't not yet perfected his "Manipulation of the Six Qi," only able to control the wind and rain, the outcome of this contest would have been uncertain.

Thinking of this, Chisongzi touched a blue jade pendant hidden under his clothes.

Fortunately, he wasn't without any trump cards.

This jade pendant, carved from a blue jade leaf from the Papermaking Tree, can greatly enhance the user's perception in a short period of time, and to a certain extent, even enable them to "predict the future" and anticipate the enemy's moves. When the difference in strength between the two sides is not significant, this alone is enough for him to suppress Xiaoyaozi and even ultimately win.

However, now that he has won, there is no need to reveal this fact.

Bei Mingzi stepped onto the stage, announced the results of the Heavenly Man Pact, gave a few words of advice to Chi Songzi and Xiaoyaozi, and then left.

Just as he came, Bei Mingzi left without a trace.

As soon as he left, the people gathered around the Guanmiao Terrace began to look forward to another important event.

Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi stepped forward and announced to everyone.

"The martial arts tournament will officially begin tomorrow at 9:00 AM. We will also post the schedule for all the matches later."

Upon hearing this, everyone was extremely excited.

After waiting for so many days, the martial arts tournament is finally here.

Compared to the Heavenly Pact, which had little to do with them, they were naturally more concerned about the martial arts tournament that could bring them tangible benefits.

Not to mention the various rewards that Tianzong set up for the top-ranked contestants, the fact that so many experts participated and that it attracted the attention of countless forces already made this martial arts tournament extraordinary.

Perhaps they can even use this opportunity to become famous!

This is an irresistible temptation for people of this era.

The only pity is that the martial arts tournament is still tomorrow, and I wonder how many people will have trouble sleeping tonight because of this.

Chapter 228 Jimo Sword Style vs. Dize Twenty-Four

The following day, in front of the main hall of Taiyi Palace, the Taoists divided up ten areas for the use of this martial arts tournament.

People from all sides arrived at the scene early in the morning.

After the meeting between Heaven and Man concluded yesterday, the Taoists sent people to post the competition information for all participants.

This martial arts tournament has attracted numerous participating forces of all sizes, resulting in over a hundred participants.

Despite the large number of participants in the martial arts tournament, no chaos ensued.

The Heavenly and Human Sects joined forces, with everyone from the sect leader to the elders watching from the sidelines to prevent any accidents.

The matches in the first two days were very fast, with many games decided within one or two rounds.

Whether by coincidence or not, those powerful figures, such as Gai Nie, Six-Fingered Black Knight, Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School, and Yue Shen, did not encounter them and thus advanced all the way.

Soon, the competition entered its third day, and most of the weaker competitors had been eliminated, so the competition began to enter a more exciting phase.

The first match was between Ji Mo Hua Xue and the farmer Tian Meng.

The peasant family also sent people this time, but only the two brothers, Tian Meng and Tian Hu, participated in the battle. However, Tian Hu was defeated and eliminated because he encountered the Moon Goddess.

This match had attracted a lot of attention before it even started, partly because many well-informed people already knew about the relationship between Ji Mo Hua Xue and Bai Yuan, so they were actually watching the match because of Bai Yuan.

Some people knew even more; they knew that just over a year ago, Ji Mo Hua Xue was an ordinary young lady from a wealthy family who didn't know any martial arts.

Although they haven't shown anything particularly special in previous matches, it's already quite surprising that they've made it this far.

Therefore, these people are more curious about how long Ji Mo Hua Xue can withstand Tian Meng, a master who has been famous in the farming family for a long time.

As for winning? Isn't that just wishful thinking?

Looking at his younger sister on the field, Ji Moyun couldn't help but feel a little nervous for her.

He was unlucky; he encountered Six-Fingered Black Knight in the last match and was undoubtedly eliminated, which is why he had time to watch Ji Mo Hua Xue's match.

On the dueling ground, Ji Mo Huaxue and Tian Meng stood facing each other.

Tian Meng was initially surprised to see that his opponent was such a stunningly beautiful woman.

However, he was aware of the relationship between Ji Mo Hua Xue and Bai Yuan, so he did not underestimate her.

"I've heard that Miss Jimo learned her swordsmanship from Master Bai Yuan?"

"So what?"

Ji Mo Huaxue frowned slightly and asked a question in return.

"To be honest, I feel a little sorry that no one from the Taoist school is participating in this martial arts tournament. They can't compete with Taoist masters and personally witness the power of Taoist swordsmanship. However, since Miss Ji Mo's swordsmanship was learned from Master Bai Yuan, it should be the same. I just wonder how much you have learned?"

Tian Meng drew his sword with a whoosh and stared at her with a fierce look.

Ji Mo Huaxue was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

"I don't learn Taoist swordsmanship, but I'm still very interested in seeing the Farmer's Twenty-Four Earthly Techniques. I wonder how it compares to my [Jimo Sword Style]."

As she spoke, her left thumb...

With a gentle push on the hilt, the sword was drawn.

"【Jimo Sword Style】?"

Upon hearing Ji Mo Huaxue's answer, Tian Meng was slightly taken aback, and everyone present was somewhat puzzled.

I've never heard of this sword technique before?

Tian Meng revealed a hint of disdain: "Since that's the case, then Tian Meng will have to offend you!"

With that, he stomped his foot heavily and launched a rapid attack on Ji Mo Hua Xue.

Ji Mo Huaxue neither dodged nor evaded. Her eyes narrowed, and a red sword aura rose from her sword as she attacked Tian Meng. Surprisingly, she was even faster, arriving first despite being the one who attacked later.

Tian Meng was immediately startled, having lost the initiative, and could only passively parry.

Realizing something was wrong, he had no choice but to retreat first, using a somersault to create distance.

Even after only a brief encounter, Tian Meng knew that winning this match would not be so easy.

He immediately used the Spring Life Technique, which greatly enhanced his aura.

"Come again!"

Ji Mo Huaxue keenly sensed the breath of spring from her opponent, smiled slightly, and used the corresponding [Spring Flower] sword technique.

For a moment, everyone outside the arena felt a warm and comforting spring atmosphere, and almost everyone subconsciously thought that this was the sword intent that Tian Meng was unleashing.

However, true masters such as Six-Fingered Black Knight, Yan Fei, Moon Goddess, and even Nan Gong all saw the difference.

This sword intent did not come from Tian Meng!

On the field, Jimo Huaxue danced gracefully, somehow attracting countless flying petals. This scene made everyone's eyes widen.

The flying flowers swirled around her. Suddenly, Ji Mo Hua Xue unleashed a sword aura, and the flying flowers, as if guided, all flew towards Tian Meng.

Tian Meng instinctively sensed danger; he even felt a chill run down his spine.

They had no choice but to switch from offense to defense once again to withstand the power of this sword strike.

He blocked the sword energy, but he couldn't stop the petals flying in the air.
