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

Jinlun was engulfed in the raging sandstorm, yet his fighting spirit remained undiminished, his eyes gleaming with a burning madness:

"Undertaker of the Sands, I never expected to meet an opponent like you in this Bloodline Tournament. How exhilarating!"

"From now on, I will give it my all."

"That suits me perfectly."

"I'd like to see where my limits are."

I hope you won't let me down.

Gu Qing's gaze sharpened slightly as she spoke earnestly.

He once became a cannon fodder mercenary in the Immortal Kingdom because he failed the college entrance examination.

He has gone through two mercenary trials.

Now, Gu Qing is climbing out of the deep pit step by step.

He wanted to see just how big the gap was between himself and a true genius.

Both of them saw fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

This time.

Gu Qing had the upper hand and naturally wouldn't give Jin Lun a chance to launch an attack.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Qing's eyes, and he clenched his fist tightly.

In an instant.

Within a radius of a thousand meters, the endless sea of ​​sand in the desert transformed into countless sand dunes. These dunes were illuminated by the mysterious spiritual light emitted from the dark red crystal ball, and they were stained with incredibly complex spiritual patterns, as if they had all come alive.

The salon was imbued with spiritual light, and it collided with the sword threads unleashed by Jinlun.

The sword thread did not sever the salon.

A hint of surprise flashed in Jinlun's eyes. Was his profound and mysterious technique inferior to his opponent's?

I do not believe!

He manipulated the sword threads repeatedly, like dragon-binding ropes, actively binding the dragon shaft controlled by Gu Qing.

clack clack...

As the salon moved nimbly, the sword threads controlled by the golden wheel remained firmly in place, and the profound power of the metal element radiated layers of spiritual light, which was like the outer sheath of a cable.

During the struggle, the golden wheel's sword threads were forcibly torn apart.

A mysterious and spiritual light exploded.

Golden sword energy exploded.

"madness!!"

"Since you won't change your tactics, then I'll let you trap yourself in your own web."

Gu Qing controlled the salons and exerted their power. Countless salons stirred up waves in the sea of ​​sand, constantly spinning and transforming into a quicksand vortex like an eye of the sea, pulling the golden wheel down into the ground.

Jinlun's pupils shrank suddenly, and just as he was about to take off, his ankle was bitten tightly by a dragon.

"rise!"

He roared, and golden light burst forth from his body. But then more sand dragons surged out from the depths of the sand sea, biting his legs, waist, and arms one after another.

The sword threads carved sparks on the sand scales, but ultimately could not withstand the onslaught of the sand swarm.

Gu Qing made a loose grip with one hand and slowly pressed down.

The salons hissed and began to spin.

The desert is boiling.

Countless sand dunes, one after another, frantically circled the golden wheel, stirring up sand waves hundreds of feet high.

The rotation accelerated, the sand waves turned into whirlpools, and the whirlpools collapsed into huge quicksand eyes.

Jinlun roared and cleaved a dragon in two, and immediately ten more pounced on it.

He cut off ten, and a hundred more entangled him.

"No!!"

One by one, the sword threads in Jinlun's hand snapped, and the golden, mysterious spiritual light exploded into a sky full of golden light in the sand vortex.

At the center of the vortex, the golden wheel seemed to fall into an abyss.

Dragged to the ground by endless yellow sand.

Gu Qing stood at the edge of the vortex, the dark red crystal ball slowly rotating in his palm, the mysterious spiritual light becoming increasingly condensed.

however.

Jinlun, who had sunk underground, was not dead; he was still fighting.

A sharp aura burst forth from the depths of the earth, followed by tremors and vibrations on the ground.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Another profound and mysterious technique, sword energy, erupted from the ground, causing wisps of sword energy to rise across the entire surface, piercing the ground like a honeycomb.

"drink!!"

Deep underground, the golden wheel's seven metallic mysteries transformed into seven illusory golden swords, protecting him.

"I can't lose here."

Jinlun gritted his teeth and persevered, enduring terrifying pressure, his forehead veins bulging, as he unleashed his profound and mysterious techniques with all his might.

The earth trembled, and the sea of ​​sand surged.

Jinlun unleashed two profound and mysterious techniques simultaneously, unleashing two kinds of sword energy at the same time.

Sword energy burst forth from the earth.

The first type of sword energy was unstoppable. After bursting out of the ground, its momentum did not diminish, and it soared straight into the sky.

The second type of sword energy is as fine as a hair, penetrating everywhere, like thousands of golden needles piercing through, turning the sand on the ground into a sieve.

The clang of metal against metal resounded through the sky.

Two completely opposite sword energies erupted alternately, tearing open bottomless cracks in the sea of ​​sand.

"Only now are you changing tactics."

"It's too late."

A slight error can lead to a huge difference.

The dark red crystal ball in Gu Qing's palm suddenly accelerated, and the sand sea within a thousand miles spun faster, carrying the golden wheel as it continued to sink deeper into the earth.

Sixty meters!

Boom...

Deep underground, Jinlun felt the pressure suddenly increase dramatically, and his expression changed drastically.

In a gravitational field ten times stronger than normal.

For every ten meters it sinks, the pressure and compression deep within the earth explode exponentially.

"Damn it..."

"If it continues to sink, I'm afraid—"

"I'm afraid only the Golden Wheel Slash can carve out a way out!!"

Seven mysterious sword shadows surrounded Jinlun, three of which flew out and, under Jinlun's control, transformed into a crescent-shaped sword aura.

The sword energy of the full moon appears to have no edge, yet it possesses unparalleled sharpness.

They swept along the underground path.

Nothing is indestructible.

only……

After a few breaths, he still hadn't broken through the earth's seal and returned to the ground.

"How could this happen?"

Jinlun looked surprised and puzzled, not understanding the reason.

"One hundred meters!!"

On the ground, the dark red crystal ball spinning in Gu Qing's palm shimmered with brownish-yellow spiritual light.

Countless grains of sand trapped the golden wheel, forming a prison of sand.

The golden wheel appears to be constantly rising and breaking through.

But the truth is not so. The truth is that the Sand Cage is constantly descending and has reached a depth of 100 meters underground.

"die."

The dark red crystal ball in Gu Qing's palm controlled the contraction of the gravity field.

In an instant.

The pressure and compression from a hundred meters underground were instantly amplified tenfold by Gu Qing's profound gravity, surging towards the golden wheel.

"puff!!"

Jin Lun coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the several sword shadows formed from the profound golden energy around him also succumbed to the strain.

clack clack...

The mysterious sword shadow dissipated into wisps of metallic spiritual energy.

Jinlun looked up at the seemingly endless earth, his eyes filled with resentment:

"Undertaker of the Sands, you win this time. I won't make the same mistake next time, and I'll definitely beat you."

The roar of the golden wheel echoed underground.

Through the fluctuations emanating from the profound mysteries of earth, Gu Qing could hear the impotent rage of the golden wheel.

but……

Gu Qing gave him no chance to turn things around.

The sand beneath the ground instantly closed in, exploding and crushing Jinlun into a pool of flesh and blood.

Sensing the underground, the golden wheel transformed into a string of illusory runes and disappeared.

Gu Qing shook her head.

When Jinlun misused the Sword Silk Technique, his defeat was already inevitable. A life-or-death battle is no child's play.

……

The battle between Gu Qing and Jin Lun was profound and powerful, attracting a large number of spectators.

After a few breaths.

Seeing that there was still no movement from underground, everyone had different expressions.

"Jinlun was defeated? Impossible!"

"What's going on? Why isn't he coming out yet?"

"Has Jinlun been scared out of his wits and turned into a coward? Why don't you come out and say something...?"
