God Emperor

Holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, the aura on the battlefield quickly gathered towards Zhang Ruochen, forming a whirlpool of aura.

Zhang Ruochen flew straight out with the Gu Shui Sword. In an instant, they passed through the thunder and lightning and collided with Zhao Wuyan's sword.

With a bang, powerful sword energy fluctuations surged out from the tips of the two swords and hit the formation light walls surrounding the battle platform. The twenty-foot-high battle platform shook slightly.

The force of the recoil caused the two of them to retreat backwards at the same time, falling to the edge of the fighting platform.

Zhang Ruochen's right wrist had a bloody crack, and blood slid down his fingers and fell to the ground in drops.

Zhang Ruochen only felt that his entire right arm seemed to be broken, the pain was endless, and even the meridians suffered heavy trauma.

"After all, my cultivation level is still a bit low. If I can break through to the fifth transformation of fish and dragon, it should be much easier to deal with it." Zhang Ruochen secretly circulated his true energy, flowing into the meridians of his right arm, and began to heal the injury.

Although Zhang Ruochen did not hurt Zhao Wuyan with the sword strike just now, it broke his body-protecting holy gang, leaving a sword mark on Zhao Wuyan's collar and tearing out an inch-long gash.

It is conceivable that if the sword had been moved a little further, Zhao Wuyan's throat would have been penetrated.

Zhao Wuyan felt his hands and feet were cold and did not dare to take it lightly anymore. At the same time, he also understood that this person did have the strength to fight with him and should not be underestimated.

"Your attainments in swordsmanship are indeed very impressive. You have reached at least the eighth level of Sword One, and even the ninth level. However, your cultivation level is still too low, and you are destined to fail today."

Zhao Wuyan was quite confident and had the belief that he would win. He mobilized all his strength and quickly struck the ground with his sword, causing the tip of the sword to collide with the formation on the ground.

"Boom!"

With the tip of the sword as the center, layers of circular air waves rose up, making a loud sound of wind and thunder, and rushed out towards Zhang Ruochen crazily.

Zhao Wuyan is also a smart person and knows how to use strength to attack his opponents.

The power he borrowed came from the formation on the battlefield, and he used the power of the formation to cause a certain degree of interference to Zhang Ruochen.

Of course, not everyone can borrow the power of the formation. If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to borrow the power, but you will suffer the backlash of the formation.

Only by controlling power to an extremely subtle level can we leverage it.

"It's interesting." Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly.

Layers of turbulent air waves hit Zhang Ruochen's body, causing him to slide backwards.

Sliding to the edge of the fighting platform, Zhang Ruochen tapped his toes and leaped up, landing three feet in the air. He stood suspended in the air, easily avoiding the air waves on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, everyone under the platform saw air pillars of black, green, and yellow colors condensed and appeared at Zhang Ruochen's feet. It is precisely because of the support of the three air pillars that Zhang Ruochen can stand in the air.

"Those are the five elements of power from three origins, namely water-attributed aura, earth-attributed aura, and wood-attributed aura." A contestant of the Eighth Transformation of Fish-Dragon said in shock.

"Could it be that...Lin Yue cultivated into the legendary Three Spirits Treasure Body?"

"That should be the case. Only the Three Spirits Treasure Body can compete with the Holy Body."

Qi Feiyu gently tapped her snow-white chin, her eyes flashing with bright light, and she thought to herself: "It's getting more and more interesting, and even the rare three-spirit treasure body appears. How many trump cards does he have?"

The reason why she came to watch the battle was to see if Zhao Wuyan could test out Lin Yue's true strength.

Obviously, Zhao Wuyan was indeed very strong, constantly forcing out Lin Yue's trump cards.

"Wow——"

Zhang Ruochen controls the power of the five elements and turns them into means of attack. The water-attributed aura condensed into lumps of liquid ice water, turning into sharp and sharp ice spikes.

Earth-attribute spiritual energy condenses into boulders, and wood-attribute spiritual energy condenses into vines.

With a wave of Zhang Ruochen's arm, hundreds of ice spikes, like thousands of arrows, shot towards Zhao Wuyan densely.

At the same time, the earth attribute spiritual energy condensed into a huge stone mountain, weighing an unknown number of thousands of kilograms. The mountain of Stone Mountain almost completely covered the entire battle platform and suddenly suppressed it downwards.

"Tai Xuan Wentian."

Zhao Wuyan's eyes flashed with light, and he kicked his legs, rising into the sky like a blue pillar of light. He stabbed out with a sword, and the sharp sword energy formed a huge arc of light, breaking open the huge stone mountain.

Rubbles continued to fall to the ground.

"Uh-huh!"

Suddenly, to the right of Zhao Wuyan, a three-meter-high piece of gravel cracked with spiderweb-like lines, and a figure flew out from it, it was Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen held the sword in his left hand, like a phantom, and thrust the sword out unexpectedly, leaving only a dazzling sword light.

A look of surprise flashed across Zhao Wuyan's face. He never expected that Lin Yue would hide in the stone mountain. Moreover, before this, he was completely unaware of it.

Zhao Wuyan was amazing, his reaction speed was extremely fast, he let out a light drink, and his body quickly sank down, trying to avoid Zhang Ruochen's killing move.

"Let go."

The Gu Shui Sword swiped across Zhao Wuyan's right wrist and collided with the skin, making the sound of gold and stone rubbing against each other, and sparks popping out.

In the end, the Gu Shui Sword broke through Zhao Wuyan's physical defense, severed the tendon of his hand, and left a deep bloody mark.

Zhao Wuyan made a muffled sound in his mouth, and felt a sharp pain in his arm. The sword flew out of his hand and was caught firmly by Zhang Ruochen.

The two of them fell to the ground again. Zhao Wuyan covered his bloody wrists and quickly retreated in embarrassment.

Zhang Ruochen had already seized Zhao Wuyan's sword, held it in his left hand, and said, "It's another good sword of the twelfth-level true weapon level. If you admit defeat, the sword will be returned to you."

The hand tendon was severed, causing Zhao Wuyan's right hand to completely lose its combat power. It would take at least a day to use elixirs to reattach the hand tendon.

Although his combat power was greatly reduced, Zhao Wuyan had no intention of bowing his head and snorted coldly: "It's just a twelfth-level true weapon. Even if it is captured by you, it doesn't matter. When the decisive battle comes, I hope we will meet again, When the time comes, I will let you see my true strength."

Although he was defeated by Zhang Ruochen's sword, Zhao Wuyan was quite unwilling. He only felt that it was because of his carelessness that the other party caught his flaw and capsized in the gutter.

In fact, he still has the strength to fight.

If you use your trump card, you may even have a chance to completely turn the tables and turn defeat into victory.

However, Zhao Wuyan found that the wound on his wrist could not be healed at all, and his meridians were quite painful. It seemed that he had been secretly manipulated by Lin Yue.

After all, Lin Yue, a "little man", has always had a bad reputation in the Liangyi Sect.

Zhao Wuyan had a vague feeling that the situation was not good, and continuing to fight might not be a good thing for him.

In this case, it doesn't matter if Lin Yue wins one game.

Just wait until the decisive battle and then defeat him.

Zhao Wuyan did not look back, nor did he ask Zhang Ruochen for the battle sword. He went straight to the bottom of the battle platform, and then left Zhiyu Ling Mountain.

All the contestants were in a daze.

"What's going on? Zhao Wuyan obviously still has the strength to fight and has every chance of turning defeat into victory, so why did he suddenly leave the battlefield?" Many people expressed confusion.

Dao Xuanqi, the oldest among the contestants, said thoughtfully: "On the surface, we only saw that Zhao Wuyan's right hand tendon was severed, but in fact that may not be the case. Perhaps, he was more injured than we thought. Be heavy.

If only the hand tendon was broken, it would at most reduce Zhao Wuyan's combat effectiveness.

However, Zhang Ruochen's sword strike just now sent a sword energy into Zhao Wuyan's meridians. That sword energy contained the power of time, and even with Zhao Wuyan's cultivation level, it was difficult to resolve it in a short time.

If the battle continues, even if Zhao Wuyan wins, he will definitely suffer heavy losses and will be unable to cope with the coming battle.

In fact, Zhang Ruochen really hoped that Zhao Wuyan would continue fighting, so that he could use the "drag" technique to "drag" Zhao Wuyan alive into serious injuries, making him unable to participate in the decisive battle.

In the decisive battle, there will naturally be one less opponent.

"He is a smart man."

Zhang Ruochen smiled, put away Zhao Wuyan's twelfth-level true weapon level sword, and walked straight off the fighting platform.

Lin Yue's victory was certainly beyond the expectations of many people. Originally, everyone only regarded Lin Yue as a swordsman wizard.

Now, all the contestants have to start taking him seriously, as a nemesis, as a favorite in the top ten.

As soon as Zhang Ruochen arrived at the foot of Zhiyu Ling Mountain, a faint sound of breaking the wind sounded behind him. Then, a figure flashed, and Xu Changsheng appeared in front of him, standing under a tree four feet away.

After the two rounds of fighting, it was already late at night, and the surroundings were dark. Only the top of Lingshan Mountain was still alive with fire, and bursts of noise could be heard.

Zhang Ruochen stopped, glanced at Xu Changsheng standing in the darkness, and said, "Senior Brother Xu, what do you have to say?"

Xu Changsheng's eyes were quite cold and he said: "Lin Yue, I checked you out specially. Four months ago, you were only at the Tianji Realm. Your qualifications can only be regarded as excellent, but you cannot reach the top level."

"You just went to the evil land of the Eastern Territory for training once and came back. Not only are you no longer addicted to women, but your cultivation has suddenly reached the fourth transformation of fish and dragon, and you have also cultivated Jianyi to the ninth level, just like It’s a different person.”

From the beginning to the end, Xu Changsheng stared closely at "Lin Yue" in front of him, observing the changes in his expression.

To his disappointment, Zhang Ruochen seemed very calm from beginning to end, showing no signs of abnormality.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "What does Senior Brother Xu mean?"

Xu Changsheng snorted coldly, "I guess you are no longer the Lin Yue you once were. Maybe you are just some evil person in the black market who has put on Lin Yue's skin."

"If I were not Lin Yue, do you think the Half-Saint Patriarchs wouldn't be able to tell? Senior Brother Xu, if you are really free, you'd better think more about how to improve your swordsmanship, so as not to be unable to even enter the top ten in the decisive battle. It wasn't me who was embarrassed." Zhang Ruochen said with a faint smile.
