Chapter 12: The Second Round

Around the end of the day, the first round of the competition was over.

The winners all walked up to Juggernaut and couldn't wait for him to say the second round of the competition.

The Qin Saint disappeared, and the Painting Saint and the Book Saint were eliminated at the same time, so the number of people who entered the second round was eight. However, just because you're eliminated in the first round doesn't mean you don't have the chance to come into contact with the quenching beads. Because once the people in front of them can't take the quenching beads, maybe they can be the next lucky ones.

The eight people standing in front of the Sword Saint were Martial Saint Tie Hao, the Three Musketeers of Unsheathed, the Chess Saint Kang Jie, the Poison Sword Mu Ruxian, the Thunder Sword Zhou Yunlong, and Zhao Yige. Perhaps at this time, everyone noticed that Zhao Yige's strength is extraordinary, and he can be regarded as a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, but he is the only one who does not have a resounding title.

At that time, the head of the crescent moon of the Moon Void Palace was also beside the Sword Saint, and asked Zhao Yige if he had thought of a title for himself that could last for a hundred generations in the cultivation world, but Zhao Yige shook his head and said that he had no intention of wandering the rivers and lakes, nor did he think about giving himself a resounding title. His name was acquired by his parents, and he felt that his name was already a good name and did not need a title. At this time, the Juggernaut said a sentence that was difficult for everyone to accept.

The Sword Saint said to Zhao Yige, and at the same time told the others: "If you become the final winner of this World Conference, the old man will entrust you with the name of the Sword Saint." ”

This sentence has caused a lot of controversy, after all, there are many excellent swordsmen in the top of the Nine Peaks. Like the Three Musketeers without sheaths, all three of them successfully advanced. Although the fact that the three of them were unable to defeat Zhao Yige together, it did not mean that Zhao Yige's strength had the title of Sword Saint. How could a person who had not dried up easily get the title of the strongest among swordsmen. Not to mention that the Three Musketeers without sheaths disagreed, Zhou Yunlong, who had been paying attention to Zhao Yige for a long time, would not agree either.

Zhou Yunlong held his sword scabbard tightly, although he didn't go to the Sword Saint Theory like Nameless, but in his heart, he would definitely not recognize that Zhao Yige's swordsmanship was stronger than him. The Sword Saint also stabilized them, saying that if Zhao Yige could win, he would inherit the title of Sword Saint, and if he didn't win, it would be put on hold for the time being. What's even more interesting is that Zhao Yige later went on to say that if he really won, he would not ask for the title of Sword Saint. The Juggernaut had no choice but to give up the matter and arrange a second round of competition for them.

The second round of the competition will be redrawn. This time, Sword Saint Duan Tianyun will no longer just look at everyone's martial arts strength, he will have to screen talents in the process of competition, and he will pick out people with good conduct and who will be able to go to the world for peace in the future. It is very difficult to abandon all evil thoughts and desires, and the seven emotions and six desires of human beings cannot affect the balance of their own power. Everyone has their own different personalities, and no one can open their hearts to strangers. It is precisely because of this that they are called people, so if the Sword Master wants to find such a person, it is tantamount to picking a bone in an egg and finding a person who is the least human-like among humans. The Sword Saint couldn't do this himself, and he was actually puzzled in his heart, in the sea of tens of thousands of people, was there such a person?

In this second round, the Sword Master directly divided the eight people into two groups, the first group is Wuming, Zhou Yunlong, Kang Jie and Balie Tiehao, and the second group is Wushuang, Wuji, Mu Ruxian and Zhao Yige. They were placed on two peaks, and whoever can get out of their respective peaks and return to the top of the mountain where they are now will be the finalists.

After learning about their group, the eight people consciously divided into two groups and walked to the top of the mountain where they were going. Zhou Yunlong and Tiehao, who were not in the same group as Zhao Yige, both had some regrets in their hearts, because the time for them to fight with Zhao Yige was about to be postponed again. But before fighting Zhao Yige, the two of them can decide in advance who is qualified to defeat Zhao Yige.

After coming to the top of the mountain, Zhou Yunlong and the other four people were dozens of meters apart, standing in four positions, east, west, north and south, ready to fight at any time, just waiting for which person would take the first step. While they were waiting, a fog drifted from the woods behind them. The fog instantly overwhelmed everyone and the trees, and they couldn't even see the ground beneath their feet. Zhou Yunlong felt that the situation was wrong, because the appearance of this fog made him unable to perceive the breath of the other three people.

Zhou Yunlong was unwilling to wait in place, so he found his way forward in the fog. At this time, he felt that the road under his feet was completely different from the bumpy road on the top of the mountain. He crouched down and touched the ground under his feet, and the result was a flat patch, without a trace of sand and gravel. After picking up his hand, he noticed that there were still some water droplets on his fingers. He realized that the fog was man-made.

He drew his sword, danced it three times, and transformed into a thundering dragon. Guided by his sword energy, the thunder dragon searched for the enemy's movements in the fog. But to his surprise, after the Thunder Dragon entered the fog, the Thunder Dragon cut off contact with him, and he could no longer control the Thunder Dragon, and the Thunder Dragon never came back after entering the fog, and he didn't know what the situation of others was.

On the top of another group of mountains, the situation was completely different from Zhou Yunlong's group. Maybe it was because Wushuang and Wuji, who were in the same group as Zhao Yige, had experience fighting him before, and the Sword Saint actually wanted to let Zhao Yige inherit his title, which made it difficult for the two of them to accept it, and they couldn't wait to make a move on Zhao Yige. As Mu Ruxian, who is in the same group, he has no experience in fighting Zhao Yige before, but he is not in a hurry to make a move. As soon as the four of them arrived at the top of the mountain, without hearing any instructions or orders, Wushuang and Wuji struck at Zhao Yige with their swords.

The swords of Wushuang and Wuji, one light and one heavy, one clever and one sinking, happen to be two swords that can make up for each other's shortcomings. The two swords flew towards Zhao Yige together, and Zhao Yige used two swords at the same time this time, pulling out the Chiyang Sword and the Ghost Che at the same time, and repelling the two swords that flew together. Wushuang and Wuji were also a little surprised, but they didn't expect Zhao Yige to use two swords at the same time to deal with them. However, the swords on the continent are more slender and are not suitable for use together. Moreover, Oni Che belongs to the Taidao of Lai Kingdom, and the blade is curved and only one side has a blade, and it is a reluctant move to combine it with a double-edged sword. Wushuang and Wuji believe that if Zhao Yige's actions this time do not prove that his swordsmanship has reached the peak and can integrate two weapons with different attributes, otherwise he will be humiliated and dig his own grave this time.

Wuji first used the momentum of Tai'a Sword to break the formation, and put pressure on Zhao Yige with the momentum of Mount Tai to press the top. The Tai'a sword flew into the air, and then its sword qi turned into a mountain, enveloping the sword body. When you look up, it looks like a small mountain peak is suspended in the air out of thin air. Then Wuji waved his finger to the ground, and the mountain in the air lost its levitating power and accelerated towards Zhao Yige's position. In the process of Tai'a Sword falling, the air above Zhao Yige's head was accumulated, and the air pressure in the middle became larger, making it very difficult for Zhao Yige to dodge from both sides, as if he had been pressed by two mountains, and wanted to take a step to the side, but he felt that the soles of his feet were deeply stuck in the cracks of the rocks and could not be pulled out.

However, Zhao Yige had no intention of hiding.

The scorching sun was at his head, and the Chiyang Sword in his hand was the most powerful. The Chiyang Sword in his hand turned red, and he made a slashing motion upward, and a half-moon-shaped red sword qi flew towards the Tai'a Sword that was pressed above his head. If the sword qi of Tai'a Sword is a mountain peak, then the sword qi of Chiyang Sword is the light of the sun shining at noon. No matter how high a mountain is, it has the side that is illuminated by the sun. And if there is even a crack in that mountain, the sun's rays will burrow into the cracks of the peak. The sword qi of the Chiyang Sword split the sword qi of the Tai'a Sword into two sections at once. Tai'a Sword was also rushed by the Chiyang Sword's sword qi, and it was chaotic in the air, spinning indiscriminately. Wuji then used the fingers of both hands to control the Tai'a sword, so that the Tai'a sword did not hit the ground, and finally flew back to his side.

Wuji's first attack was frustrated, Wushuang took the Xuanyuan Sword into two, one sword flew straight in front of her, and she held the other sword in her hand, followed closely behind, and rushed towards Zhao Yige under the cover of the flying sword.

Zhao Yige switched to the ghost in his left hand this time. The design of this demon knife allows the wielder to hold the knife in front and back, and change the trajectory of the up and down slash, both offensive and defensive. He first used the flying sword that came from the ghost, and then Wushuang raised his sword and stabbed at him. The sword has not arrived, but the edge has arrived. The sword qi rushed straight towards Zhao Yige's eyebrows, and Zhao Yige just rotated the ghost in his left hand, allowing the tip of the Taidao to slash at the flying sword qi. The edge of the sword qi was cut off by the ghost, and what rushed to Zhao Yige's face was no longer a sharp sword qi, but a gentle breeze.

Then Wushuang fought Zhao Yige with a single sword, and attacked the other side of him with a flying sword. The handsless middle sword and the imperial qi sword attacked at the same time, and he had defeated Mo Feixue before, but he didn't get any advantage in the face of Zhao Yige. Zhao Yige is like having a pair of eyes behind him, and he can know where the flying sword is attacking from behind. The unequaled swordsmanship inherited the mastery of the swordmaster, and originally had an absolute advantage in swordsmanship. Some unexpected sword moves, she originally thought there would be a surprise effect. But Zhao Yige is like knowing the order of her moves, and she can always block them one by one. It was not so much that Zhao Yige saw her movements, but that he predicted her movements. Zhao Yige himself does not have too strong swordsmanship, and the swordsmanship he learned from Yan Qinghou before is a powerful killing move based on strength, which has no advantage compared with the flexible swordsmanship of Wushuang, which once made Wushuang puzzled.

Later, Wuji also gave up using the Qi Imperial Sword, held the hilt of the Tai'a Sword with both hands, and fought with Zhao Yige with Wushuang. Zhao Yige used the fierceness of the Chiyang Sword to fight with the Tai'a Sword, and the other hand used the ghostly femininity and the flexible Xuanyuan Sword to compete. After these dozens of moves, Wushuang and Wuji were questioning and depressed on their swords, but Zhao Yige's expression became more and more calm.

Mu Ruxian, who had been watching the battle, didn't know whether he should make a move, because the duel between the four of them was actually only the last winner in the end. If he helps the Three Musketeers of Unsheathed to deal with Zhao Yige, he may not have a chance to win against Wushuang and Wuji in the end. If you help Zhao Yige deal with them... This should not be the case. Since there can only be one winner, then of course he hopes for himself. Because of his peculiarity, it proves that there can be no survivors for those who are on the same path as him.

When Zhao Yige and the three of them were in full swing, Mu Ru first ripped off his mouth-blocking spike and spit out a pale green breath from his mouth. Then he quietly pulled out the Sword of Relief, and a puff of poisonous gas began to spread to the ground without anyone noticing...
