My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

At the Tiger Fiend Sect's temporary headquarters, many Foundation Establishment cultivators followed in the elder's footsteps. As soon as they arrived outside the headquarters, they saw the elder transform into a giant blood tiger and attack Su Changge.

Strangely, Su Changge only unleashed a silent sword light.

What happened next became bizarre.

The elder who had transformed into a blood tiger and attacked Su Changge suddenly froze, suspended in mid-air, motionless.

Followed by.

They discovered that the blood essence around the elder was becoming increasingly thin.

The elder's face also turned pale.

Just as the many Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Tiger Fiend Sect were at a loss, Su Changge's expression suddenly changed in mid-air. A strange black pattern, shaped like a worm, suddenly erupted from his chest and continued to spread upwards towards his neck.

"Damn it—"

"Using my self-created ultimate technique, 'Deep Forest Dream Erosion,' was indeed a bit of a stretch."

The ultimate technique, "Deep Forest Erosion Dream," combines the profound mysteries of wood-attribute swordsmanship with the mysteries of the soul.

Those who fall victim to this will be trapped in a silent forest, where they will be deprived of their hearing, spatial orientation, and spiritual perception, falling into an endless sea of ​​trees, and ultimately their souls will be destroyed in eternal silence and disorientation.

midair.

Su Changge's face turned deathly pale as his sword intent erupted from within him, suppressing the strange and recurring poison within his body.

Just as he sealed off the strange and poisonous substance once again,

Hundreds of meters away.

The Tiger Fiend Sect elder, who had been as still as a statue, finally twitched his eyebrows the moment the blood-red protective shield shattered.

Followed by.

He finally managed to open his eyes, and deep within his pupils, countless sword lights grew dimmer and dimmer.

"call--"

"Silent leaves, sword severing the soul."

"That was terrifying, so close, just a tiny bit more..."

Having broken free from Su Changge's swordsmanship, the Golden Core elder of the Tiger Fiend Sect was filled with lingering fear.

In that eerie and tranquil space, if it weren't for the last moment when a strange black shadow suddenly invaded the tranquil space, the Tiger Fiend Sect elder would have had no chance of breaking free from that terrifying and eerie space with his own strength alone.

The Tiger Fiend Sect elder suppressed his injuries to his soul, his face grim as he looked at Su Changge in the distance. He said in a hoarse voice:

"Su Changge, you really are terrifying."

"However, you are currently suffering from a rare poison, and your ultimate technique just now revealed a flaw. It must be due to the poison flaring up, right?"

"How many more times can you make a move?"

A hundred meters away, Su Changge said calmly, "Killing you is more than enough."

"you……"

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Tiger Fiend Sect's expression changed slightly.

He hadn't expected that even though Su Changge's strength had been greatly reduced, she still had the potential to kill him instantly.

Fearing Su Changge's eerie sword light, the Tiger Fiend Sect elder laughed:

"The Azure Emperor Sword Sect's defeat is inevitable. As your outposts are eliminated one by one, your strength will only grow weaker."

"Why not take advantage of the fact that we still have some value and proactively pledge allegiance to the Wei royal family?"

"Your senior sister was once a royal concubine of the Wei Kingdom. We're all family, why fight and kill each other..."

"shut up!!"

When the Tiger Fiend Sect elder mentioned this matter, Su Changge, who was in the distance, suddenly shouted angrily.

"Hahaha!!"

"What, you won't let me say?"

"You want to kill me?"

"Why don't you take a look at those prisoners from the Azure Emperor Sword Sect? They are all the most outstanding disciples of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect."

"They would rather die than surrender."

"If you dare to move, they will all die."

Following the direction pointed out by the Golden Core Elder of the Tiger Fiend Sect, Su Changge discovered that several hundred disciples of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect were being held captive in the Tiger Fiend Sect's temporary camp, including those at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages.

Su Changge frowned and quietly lowered her raised right hand.

"What do you want?"

"Hahaha……"

"Su Changge, you don't want those disciples to be killed, do you?"

Seeing that Su Changge seemed about to draw his sword again, the Golden Core elder of the Tiger Fiend Sect twitched his eyelids and quickly continued, "Su Changge, let's make a bet. If your Azure Emperor Sword Sect wins, I will return these prisoners to you."

Looking at the captured disciples, Su Changge suppressed his anger and asked:

"What are we betting on?"

"I bet your Azure Emperor Sword Sect disciples are no match for our Tiger Fiend Sect. Do you dare?"

"This Golden Core elder from the Tiger Fiend Sect deliberately provoked me," he said.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the Tiger Fiend Sect elder wins or loses; he only needs to stall Su Changge and buy time for the Golden Rooster Ridge side.

As for those prisoners, they will not affect the overall situation at all.

Su Changge glanced at the Tiger Fiend Sect elder and nodded:

"Can."

"How do you want to bet?"

"Each side will send three Qi Refining stage cultivators to compete in the arena. The winning side can keep sending their own people, and the side that loses all three of their competitors will be considered to have lost."

"how?"

"no problem."

"Tomorrow, a temporary fighting arena will be set up forty miles north of here."

After a brief pause, the two transformed into two streaks of light, one red and one green, and headed towards their respective camps.

On the ground, the Tiger Fiend Sect members breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Su Changge retreat.

Su Changge had just unleashed a single sword strike.

The terror of that sword strike became an indelible shadow in the hearts of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Tiger Fiend Sect.

"Elder, are we really going to have a match against the Azure Emperor Sword Sect in the arena tomorrow?"

"With those prisoners in our hands, the Azure Emperor Sword Sect will be hesitant to act rashly. Isn't it ultimately up to us?"

When the Tiger Fiend Sect elder landed, a Foundation Establishment cultivator asked, puzzled.

"idiot."

When the Tiger Fiend Sect elder landed, a Foundation Establishment cultivator asked, puzzled.

"idiot."

"Now that Su Changge has personally intervened, if we don't give him any hope of saving people, do you think he might retaliate?"

"What if I kill you all while I'm at it?"

"hiss--"

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators present immediately gasped in shock.

original.

Unbeknownst to them, they had become bargaining chips in Su Changge's negotiations.

……

The next day, the duel between the Tiger Fiend Sect and the Azure Emperor Sword Sect took place as scheduled.

Dozens of miles outside the Qingdi Sword Sect's mountain gate, an area was designated as a temporary arena. Both sides, in addition to Golden Core cultivators, brought along a group of Foundation Establishment deacons and elite Qi Refining disciples.

As soon as Gu Qing, Su Changge, and the others arrived at the place where the duel was to be held, their expressions turned grim.

Looking towards the arena, not far away, there were Tiger Fiend Sect members who had deliberately set up some cages to confine the Qingdi Sword Sect prisoners like wild beasts.

"Master, those freaks from the Tiger Fiend Sect are so despicable!!"

Beside Gu Qing, Yang Xi said unhappily.

For this arena challenge, Yang Xi contracted a three-thousand-year-old Blue Jade Sword Realm Bitter Bamboo. His natal flying sword contains a Foundation Establishment Realm sword energy reserve.

As long as she makes a move, she can easily defeat one of the Tiger Fiend Sect's opponents.

"Don't get angry."

"The most important thing in a battle is to stay calm. If you get angry, you'll easily be led by the nose by your opponent."

"These arrangements might have been deliberately made this way by the Tiger Fiend Sect."

"To provoke you."

Gu Qing's words were not only directed at Yang Xi, but also served as a warning to the other disciples of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect.

"How treacherous the Tiger Fiend Sect is!"

The other Qi Refining Realm disciples also felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

Su Changge and the Tiger Fiend Sect elder exchanged a glance on opposite sides of the arena. The Tiger Fiend Sect elder then spoke, "In this arena competition, life and death are the sole responsibility of the participants."

"Enough talk, let's get started!"

Su Changge was seething with anger and said coldly.

The first match is about to begin.

The disciples of the Tiger Fiend Sect and the Azure Emperor Sword Sect stood at opposite ends of the arena, watching the battle with unyielding hatred in their eyes.

The two factions have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, their relationship as irreconcilable as fire and water.

The disciple from the Tiger Fiend Sect who participated in the first round was 2.5 meters tall and had unusually large hands.

On the Azure Emperor Sword Sect's side, the first disciple to participate in the competition was named Bai Ye, who possessed the cultivation level of the Perfect Qi Refining Realm.

"First match, begin!"
