In his heart, Song Daren's status was only below that of Tian Buyi, Su Ru, and Tian Ling'er.

Tian Buyi was like a teacher and father to Zhang Xiaofan. Although he was always criticizing him, most fathers are like that. Su Ru was like a loving mother who gave him a lot of care.

Tian Ling'er is the white moonlight, while Song Daren is the kind and amiable older brother in the family.

Then Song Daren jumped down from the arena. "Xiao Fan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Senior Brother, you're amazing!"

He was genuinely praising her, saying she was at least much better than Peng Chang.

Song Daren's power was too great; even with the Great Brahma Prajna within him, he could not withstand this tiger-like power.

"I'm so glad you're alright." Song Daren breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, the elder, acting as the referee, announced Song Daren's victory.

He had also been amazed by Zhang Xiaofan's true Tai Chi essence.

Of course, although the true meaning of Taiji in Taiji Xuanqing Dao has the same name as the true meaning of Taijiquan, its nature is different.

Just like the true meaning of Tai Chi that Lin Zhu comprehended was different from that of Zhang Sanfeng.

Tian Ling'er skipped over to Song Daren and Zhang Xiaofan, "Senior Brother, you're amazing! You're the first disciple from Dazhu Peak to make it into the top four."

Then she looked at Zhang Xiaofan and said, "Xiaofan, you're pretty good too!"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled shyly, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

"There's no need to thank me," Tian Ling'er said reproachfully, patting Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder.

Zhang Xiaofan just smiled foolishly.

Song Daren sighed inwardly. Everyone on Dazhu Peak could see that Zhang Xiaofan liked Tian Ling'er.

However, Qi Hao had previously flirted with Tian Ling'er, and now Tian Ling'er has taken the initiative to get close to Lin Zhu, so his junior brother has no chance at all.

Tian Ling'er always treated Zhang Xiaofan as a younger brother.

The second half of the match will begin in the afternoon.

Qi Hao versus Lin Jingyu, an internal battle within Dragon Head Peak.

Although Lin Jingyu possessed the Dragon-Slaying Sword, his cultivation level was far inferior to Qi Hao's.

As before, Qi Hao fought Lin Jingyu for dozens of rounds before finally achieving a "hard-won" victory.

Zeng Shushu also defeated his opponent.

The final four have been determined: Lu Xueqi, Song Daren, Qi Hao, and Zeng Shushu.

On the fifth day, the semi-finals officially began.

Lu Xueqi versus Song Daren.

Facing Lu Xueqi, Song Daren felt immense pressure this time.

Lu Xueqi is at the eighth level of the Jade Purity Realm, while Song Daren is only at the sixth level.

Although Song Daren had grasped the true meaning of the fierce tiger, Lu Xueqi was also perfectly suited to the Tianya Sword.

"Senior Brother Song, please forgive me."

Lu Xueqi originally thought that this was someone her senior sister liked, so she should give her face, but her words were still so cold, like ice blades and ice swords.

Song Daren couldn't help but shiver. "Junior Sister Lu, please!"

Facing Song Daren, Lu Xueqi drew her Tianya Sword at the very beginning of the fight, a treatment she had never received before.

A sudden burst of blue light made Lu Xueqi's icy expression appear even colder.

Song Daren also drew his Ten Tiger Swords and made the first move.

He knew that if he didn't make the first move against Lu Xueqi, he would have no chance.

Unleashing his true power as a tiger, he charged towards Lu Xueqi like a real tiger.

Lu Xueqi circulated her spiritual energy, and the blue light of the Tianya Sword intensified.

Facing the charging Song Daren, he swung his sword, and the azure sword energy roared, clashing with the tiger's sword energy and separating instantly.

The power transmitted from the Ten Tiger Swords made Song Daren's hands go numb, forcing him to slide a considerable distance.

Lu Xueqi, on the other hand, felt a heaviness and a stinging pain in the meridians of her hands.

But once the spiritual energy within his body circulated, this feeling disappeared.

Song Daren, however, was different. The sword energy of the Tianya Sword had already penetrated his body, and his physique was not as strong as Zhang Xiaofan's. He was already slightly injured.

Lu Xueqi pressed her advantage relentlessly, unleashing the Tianya Sword, which, imbued with surging sword energy, transformed into countless flying swords that shot towards Song Daren.

A roar of a fierce tiger emanated from Song Daren's body, and spiritual power surged forth, forming a yellowish-brown phantom of a tiger that was about to block Lu Xueqi.

"Go for it, senior brother!"

Tian Ling'er shouted loudly to cheer on Song Daren.

"Oh no, this is bad!"

Above, Tian Buyi slapped his head.

Chapter 427 Sword Draws Thunder

Hearing Tian Ling'er shout like that, Song Daren couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.

Against an ordinary opponent, this slight fluctuation would be nothing.

But now he was facing Lu Xueqi, Lu Xueqi who wielded the Tianya Sword, and Lu Xueqi who had also comprehended the essence of the sword, and whose cultivation was much higher than his.

And so, tragedy struck.

The tiger-shaped sword energy outside the body fluctuated slightly, and the Tianya sword energy seized the opportunity to enter and penetrate inside.

Then came a continuous torrent of azure sword energy, which instantly obliterated the tiger's sword energy.

With a flick of her wrist, Lu Xueqi brought the tip of the Tianya Sword to a stop in front of Song Daren's neck.

"Senior Brother Song, you flatter me."

Song Daren smiled with relief. His cultivation level was never as high as Lu Xueqi's to begin with, and although he was much older, he could accept this outcome.

“Junior Sister Lu’s cultivation is profound; I, your foolish brother, concede defeat.”

The referee's announcement rang out, "In the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak wins in the fourth round of the final two!"

Tian Ling'er looked disappointed and then stared at Lu Xueqi.

He turned to Lin Zhu and asked, "Do you think Xueqi didn't use her full strength when she fought me the day before yesterday?"

"You just realized? She hasn't even drawn her Heavenly Sword yet."

Having spent more time with Tian Ling'er, Lin Zhu's words no longer carried the tone of politeness.

"She's incredibly talented!"

Tian Ling'er felt discouraged.

Lin Zhu smiled but didn't offer any comfort; at this point, any words of comfort would be meaningless.

It's good that Tian Ling'er has realized the gap between herself and Lu Xueqi, isn't it?

The afternoon match was quite simple: Zeng Shushu faced off against Qi Hao, and Zeng Shushu lost.

To avoid suspicion, Tian Ling'er didn't even come to watch the exciting battle that afternoon.

At this moment, Qi Hao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, truly died completely.

The next morning, Zeng Shushu and Song Daren first settled their score.

Song Daren's true meaning of "fierce tiger" is strength, but Zeng Shushu's cultivation is higher, and he has also comprehended the true meaning.

The Xuanyuan Sword he wields is modeled after the Xuanyuan Sword, and its power far surpasses that of Song Daren's Ten Tiger Sword.

Given that his cultivation level and weaponry were completely outmatched, and he had no advantage in terms of true intent, Song Daren was naturally going to lose.

In the afternoon, the championship battle of the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament will take place.

Tian Ling'er arrived and stood beside Lin Zhu.

At this moment, Qi Hao on the arena had already frozen his heart with ice and snow. Although the Frost Sword in his hand was still in its sheath, a chilling aura was already emanating from it.

Lu Xueqi's expression was solemn. Qi Hao was her greatest opponent in the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament, without exception.

Tian Ling'er looked at Lin Zhu and asked, "Who do you think will win between the two of them?"

"I don't know." Lin Zhu shook his head. He felt that Lu Xueqi would fight desperately; she was a person who never gave up.

At the referee's command, Lu Xueqi and Qi Hao simultaneously drew their swords.

The Tianya Sword is azure blue, radiating light; the Hanbing Sword is snow-white, naturally formed from frost and snow.

Lu Xueqi didn't hold back this time and took the initiative, shouting, "The beginning of a new era, sword condensation!"

The Tianya Sword was swung, its sword energy condensed and then split into six, piercing towards Qi Hao and locking him in all directions.

"The year draws to a close, the weather is cold, and ice has frozen!"

The Frost Sword hovered in the air, and Qi Hao activated his Dao Seal, forming a Frost Barrier to protect himself within the ice.

The Heavenly Sword Qi struck the ice wall, and with a few clanging sounds, the sword qi shattered, and the ice wall cracked and crumbled.

Qi Hao made another hand seal, "Bitter wind and rain, ice breaks!"

The shattered ice walls formed numerous ice swords, which, guided by Qi Hao, swept towards Lu Xueqi.

Holding the Tianya Sword, Lu Xueqi changed her movements and her sword flashed without a trace. With a flash of blue light, she shattered the ice swords and the tip of the Tianya Sword pierced towards Qi Hao.

Qi Hao's gaze was icy, just like his current state of mind. "A thousand miles of ice, Frost Dragon!"

A dragon's roar resounded, and a divine dragon made entirely of ice appeared behind Qi Hao, roaring as it charged towards Lu Xueqi.

Lu Xueqi's figure stopped in mid-air. The ice dragon was too powerful, and she had no choice but to retreat.

'Is this the power of the ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm?'

"With the four symbols as guides, all rivers flow into the sea!"
