Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

This low-grade seventh-rank longsword shone brightly in his hands, making him appear like an invincible general, unstoppable by anyone.

Xiao Yi's heart sank; he had underestimated the opponent's strength.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be defeated in just a few moves.

Swish!Swish!

Two sword energies streaked across the sky like rainbows, and the people in the stands held their breath.

Xiao Yi felt a numbness in his chest, followed by two streams of blood splattering out.

We can't see it, not even the trajectory of the attack...

The excruciating pain came slowly, and Xiao Zhan's pupils dilated slightly.

A sense of powerlessness arose from the bottom of his heart; his body's instincts told him that he could not defeat such a powerful enemy.

"Useless is useless. Your Xiao family has long since declined. What's the point of stubbornly clinging on?"

A teasing voice rang in my ears.

"Give up, hand over your weapon, and I might spare your life."

Xiao Yi fought tenaciously, with swords flashing and shadows flying across the battlefield. To be able to fight a sect with the strength of a Dou Huang was already a commendable feat.

However, a Dou Huang is still a Dou Huang, and Xiao Yi is not yet powerful enough to fight enemies of a higher level.

As soon as his swordsmanship faltered, Duan Tianci seized the opportunity, and several sword shadows flew past, with blood splattering in mid-air.

"A hundred thousand sword energies!"

Duan Tianci pointed his finger, and countless sharp sword energies flew out.

Brush brush!

The battle aura armor shattered, and a chilling sound of flesh being sliced ​​echoed.

Xiao Yi burst into a cloud of blood mist in an instant.

At this moment, there was not a single patch of intact flesh on his body. Sword energy crisscrossed the arena, constantly cutting into his body; it would not be an exaggeration to call it slow slicing.

The people in the stands were chilled to the bone; Duan Tianci's actions had gone beyond the scope of the competition.

But no one dared to speak up, not only because of the power of the Forging Heaven Pavilion, but also because the member of the Xiao family did not admit defeat.

As long as he doesn't admit defeat, according to the rules, no one else can stop him.

Xiao Yi's fighting spirit was becoming increasingly thin, and his continued silence angered Duan Tianci.

"Forget it, I'm tired of it."

Duan Tianci curled his lip, and the sword energy on the field converged, forming a huge longsword above his head.

"Since you refuse to admit defeat, then go down there and keep Xiao Teng company."

Xiao Yi gripped the longsword tightly in his hand, blood flowing freely on the blade, until a faint red glow finally shone brightly.

hum!

In an instant, the blood energy on the field gathered towards Xiao Yi.

Anger, pain, bloodshed—all sorts of negative emotions were coalesced by Xiao Yi's unwavering fighting spirit.

A blood-red behemoth opened its eyes behind it.

Chapter 95 A critical moment

The crimson beast's blood energy directly overwhelmed Duan Tianci's sword energy, creating a stalemate on the fighting stage.

The young master of the Forging Heaven Pavilion, who had been so confident of victory just moments before, now had an extremely ugly expression.

It's happening again! Why is it happening again?!

In the previous weapon forging competition, Xiao Teng also surpassed him at the last moment.

Duan Tianci's handsome face contorted into a ferocious expression as he channeled all his power into his longsword.

"Die!"

Xiao Yi dragged his wounded body, the blood-red longsword scraping against the ground with a grating sound, like a blood-red beast slowly roaring.

"Peerless Blood God!"

The hoarse voice came from Xiao Yi's mouth. He held his head high and his body was as straight as a javelin.

Swish!

The crimson longsword slashed out fiercely, and the giant beast opened its mouth, biting at the sword energy pressing down from the sky.

boom!

A void rift, a full hundred meters long, shattered in mid-air.

Those cultivators below the Dou Wang level couldn't even open their eyes; they were crushed by this power and almost collapsed to their knees.

The aftershocks lingered for a long time. Finally, accompanied by a hoarse roar, the sword energy that filled the sky lost control and was swallowed up by the blood-red behemoth.

Xiao Yi seized the rare opportunity and threw the seventh-grade longsword out of the arena.

岑！

The longsword pierced the stone slab and got stuck in the crack.

At this moment, the whole place was silent.

Only the hilt of the seventh-grade spirit sword trembled slightly, emitting a soft mournful cry.

A smile appeared on Xiao Yi's bloodied and mangled face.

Won.

The rules of the competition state that you win by knocking your opponent's weapon out of the ring.

Duan Tianci stood frozen in mid-air, blood streaming from the tiger's mouth of his hands, seemingly unaware that the match was over.

Duan Tianci only snapped out of his daze when the crowd began to discuss the matter.

His eyes blazed with a chilling ferocity as he stared directly at Xiao Yi.

In the blink of an eye, a crimson gas surged from Duan Tianci's hands, and his figure vanished from the spot.

Exhausted, Xiao Yi watched helplessly as those crimson hands struck him, his heart sinking to the bottom.

Such obvious battle aura characteristics belong to the "Refining Heaven Hand" of the Forging Heaven Pavilion, a magical battle technique that is said to be able to refine all things.

Whether the claim of refining all things is true or not is still unknown, but another effect of the "Heavenly Refining Hand" is absolutely legendary.

It can completely destroy a person's fighting spirit.

The special power of the "Refining Heaven Hand" can penetrate into the finest meridians of the human body and then remain there for a long time.

If the person affected cannot find a highly skilled senior to help them resolve the problem, they will be unable to circulate their battle qi for the rest of their lives, or they will suffer a fate worse than death.

Duan Tianci is going to cripple him!

At such close range, no one could stop it unless Duan Hong intervened personally. But clearly, the high and mighty Pavilion Master Duan remained as indifferent as ever, as if he were oblivious to the tragedy that was about to unfold.

Duan Tianci struck Xiao Yi's dantian with a powerful palm strike.

In the stands, some cultivators closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight.

Snapped!

The expected screams did not come.

Just at the critical moment, a large hand firmly grasped Duan Tianci's wrist.

Han Feng appeared on the field, his eyes lowered, his expression slightly cold, and said softly, "Passed."

Duan Tianci's anger surged rapidly. He broke free from Han Feng and activated the Refining Heaven Hand technique to its maximum.

"Get out of my way!"

Han Feng raised his finger, and the Heavenly Origin Finger skillfully broke through the Heavenly Refining Hand. Then he grabbed Duan Tianci's throat and lifted him up like a chick.

On the high platform, Duan Hong narrowed his eyes and slowly stood up.

His son is not someone else's place to discipline him.

"Young friend, your interference in the competition is a bit much."

Duan Hong spoke up, but Han Feng ignored him and just looked at the referee.

"Can we announce the results now?"

The referee glanced at Duan Hong and remained silent.

Han Feng chuckled softly, his eyes saying it all.

However, at this moment, the official judge of the Southern Kingdom stood up and reminded them: "The results are out. The Forging Heaven Pavilion should not ruin its reputation for personal revenge."

The referee hesitated and looked at Duan Hong, only to see that the usually composed and dignified pavilion master now had a somewhat gloomy expression, just like his son.

He gave Han Feng a deep look, then said expressionlessly, "Why don't you announce the results as soon as possible!"

The referee was taken aback and repeatedly declared the Xiao family the winner.

Seeing this, Han Feng glanced thoughtfully at the official overseer of the Southern Li Kingdom, then released Duan Tianci and prepared to take Xiao Yi down to heal his injuries.

"Die!"

Unexpectedly, Duan Tianci was still not giving up. He took out his natal spiritual weapon from his storage ring, a high-grade seventh-rank white jade sword, and used all his strength to stab Han Feng and Xiao Yi in the back.

Han Feng shook his head, and the counterforce of his innate magnetic field spread out.

boom!

Duan Tianci reaped what he sowed. He and his white jade sword flew backward and crashed heavily into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood before losing consciousness.

"Shuzi!"

Duan Hong was furious and was about to leave the arena when he saw the judge of the Southern Li Kingdom raise a crimson token.

Upon seeing the token, Duan Hong, a Dou Zun, froze on the spot, desperately suppressing his anger.

"Please, Pavilion Master Duan, do not break the rules of the conference."

"They injured my son!"

"I also ask Manager Duan to teach the young master a lesson. There should be no more than three offenses. If he does such a bad thing again, he will probably be disqualified from the competition."

Everyone with eyes can tell what just happened, but not a single person dares to tell the truth.

Now, seeing the Nanli officials confront Duan Hong without any fear, their hearts were filled with turmoil.

I've never seen the Nanli government and the Duantian Pavilion fight like this before.

The lord of Bailian Manor watched this scene silently, a cold smile playing on his lips.

This situation has never happened before, but before, when Forging Heaven Pavilion had always been at the top of the rankings, no one had ever forced them to this point.

This is going to be a good show.

The Xiao family, who were almost squeezed out of the four major weapon sects, actually made a comeback and defeated the Forging Heaven Pavilion twice, giving their elder brother a good slap in the face.

It remains to be seen whether this young man, recommended by the Xiao family, can withstand the wrath of Pavilion Master Duan in the final competition.

Duan Hong simply snorted coldly and ordered someone to take Duan Tianci away to heal his injuries.

As the empire's foremost weapon master, he understood all too well just how powerful the imperial family was.

Therefore, when faced with the "Vermilion Bird Order" raised by the officials from Nanli, Duan Hong weighed the pros and cons and decided to hold back.

"Kid, I'll remember you."

Duan Hong transmitted his voice into Han Feng's ears. Upon hearing this, Han Feng looked at the extraordinary pavilion master, smiled, and said nothing.

Looking at Han Feng's calm smile, Duan Hong clenched his fist tightly inside his sleeve.

"The Xiao family..."

Duan Hong turned around angrily and gave orders to his subordinates.

"Go and investigate the Xiao family's recent movements carefully."

Duan Hong suspected that something he was unaware of must have happened quietly.
