Chapter 168: A Sword in Hand
Yi Xiaoyao slowly walked out of the crowd and came to the area where the six people in the top 20 of the Hidden Dragon List were located.
These six people have different postures, and there are some gaps in the momentum between each person.
Yi Xiaoyao's gaze first fell on one of the young men with a very peaceful demeanor, this person's momentum was very strong, according to the discussions of the surrounding disciples, it should be the sixth ranked Su Xiang.
Su smiled faintly at Yi Xiaoyao's eyes, and Yi Xiaoyao also nodded slightly to him.
Then, Yi Xiaoyao looked at the red-robed young man who was holding the knife in his arms and closing his eyes to recuperate, this person's momentum was the strongest among the six, just by seeing the cold light big knife in his arms, he could guess that this person was the second ranked sword wind breaker on the hidden dragon list.
Dao Feng Po seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, opened his eyes in vain, met Yi Xiaoyao's eyes, and glanced at him with an emotionless gaze, and closed his eyes again.
A fine light flashed in Yi Xiaoyao's eyes, and a trace of fighting intent rose in his heart, among these old disciples, only this sword wind broke if he was qualified to be able to cause him to care.
As for the other four, Yi Xiaoyao didn't even glance at them, and walked directly past them.
Maybe these four people would have paid great attention to Yi Xiaoyao two months ago, but now, they have no interest.
And the four of them were looking at Yi Xiaoyao with a sneer, intending to defeat him and take away the eighth ranking, but at this moment, seeing that Yi Xiaoyao directly ignored them, a touch of anger suddenly appeared on their faces.
The black-robed hall master's eyes also moved slightly, noticing this phenomenon, of course he knew what these arrogant old disciples wanted to do.
"Now that you're all here, I'll get down to business."
"There are still a few days before the battle for the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit, you are the strongest Jindan Realm disciples in my Seven Killing Star Palace, and you are also the few people I am most optimistic about, so it is very likely that the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit will finally fall into your hands this time."
As he spoke, the black-robed hall master looked at a few of them intentionally: "But I hope that you are a few of you in the same sect, and there will be no internal contradictions!" ”
The faces of the four people who were outside the top ten suddenly froze, of course they knew that the hall master's last words were talking about them, and they were all silent with changing faces.
Then, the hall master said: "I got the news that this battle is not an ordinary ring battle, and some of it is related to the team, so I will divide the few of you into two groups according to your strength. ”
"The sword wind is broken, the appearance is solemn, and the three of you are in the top ten of the hidden dragon list, as a group. The rest of Hua Yunfeng is a group of four. ”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Dao Feng Po, Su Xiang and Yi Yao did not change, but the faces of the other four people changed.
The strength of Dao Feng Po and Su Xiang is well known, and being in a group with them is naturally the most beneficial to the results of the battle, so everyone must want to be in a group with these two.
But now, the hall master divided Yi Xiaoyao into that group according to the ranking, and they didn't recognize Yi Xiaoyao's ranking at all, so how could they agree.
"Hall Master, I don't agree with this division!"
The four of them opened their mouths in unison and protested to the hall master.
The black-robed hall lord frowned slightly, and said: "I am so divided, naturally I have my intentions, after all, it is not only a few of you who participate in the battle this time, especially the Shangguan Heavenly Sword, will be your biggest opponent, and the strongest few people in a group will have a better chance to win the battle." ”
"Hall Master, we all agree with what you said, and we have no objections, but you let Yi Xiaoyao follow the sword wind to break through their group, and we are not convinced!" One of them spoke.
The black-robed hall master glanced at him and asked, "Yi Xiaoyao is ranked eighth, ranking higher than the four of you, why are you not convinced?" ”
"Hehe, ranked eighth? He just defeated Ye Qingqing, and then jumped to the eighth place, everyone knows the water in this matter, I'm afraid he has no corresponding strength! ”
The other person also sneered and said: "Unless he dares to fight us head-on, if he really has the strength to defeat us, we naturally have nothing to say." ”
Suddenly, the surrounding disciples began to discuss with wonderful faces.
The black-robed hall lord snorted coldly: "Even if Yi Xiaoyao's strength is not enough to rank eighth, it is the turn of Hua Yunfeng, who is ranked eleventh, and Dao Feng Po is in a group, Hua Yunfeng didn't say anything, why are you three so opposed?" ”
Yi Xiaoyao sneered faintly, these three people are probably not dissatisfied with the group, but because they are dissatisfied with his ranking, after all, they all think they have the strength to defeat Ye Qingqing.
At this moment, Hua Yunfeng also spoke, and said, "Since the hall master has said so, then let me come and learn from Senior Brother Yi." ”
Regarding Yi Xiaoyao's record, Hua Yunfeng was the first to disbelieve it, and he didn't even believe that Yi Xiaoyao could defeat Ye Qingqing.
After all, Hua Yunfeng and Yi Xiaoyao had fought before, and although he was defeated by the sword at the beginning, if he used his spiritual power at that time, he could defeat Yi Xiaoyao with one move. He never believed that Yi Xiaoyao could be so powerful in just a few months.
Moreover, Hua Yunfeng was defeated by Yi Xiaoyao with a sword momentum, and his heart was greatly hit, and later the news spread for some reason, and it was exaggerated a lot, making him lose face.
This time, Yi Xiaoyao ranked eighth on the hidden dragon list, and even squeezed Hua Yunfeng out of the top ten and fell to the eleventh place.
Therefore, he must defeat Yi Xiaoyao and regain face and ranking!
The black-robed hall master didn't want to say anything more, nodded and said, "Okay, the two of you will fight a fair battle here, but if you don't have a deep hatred, don't hate it!" ”
Yi Xiaoyao shrugged helplessly, since the hall master had said so, he had no choice but to accept it.
The surrounding people gave up an area one after another, and only Yi Xiaoyao and Hua Yunfeng were left in the field.
"Senior Brother Yi, the sword momentum was slightly inferior in the last competition with you, and you are not so lucky in this competition for real strength."
Hua Yunfeng smiled coldly at Yi Xiaoyao, deliberately accentuating the tone of the four words "true strength", indicating that he had been defeated by Yi Xiaoyao before and had not used his true strength.
Yi Xiaoyao just responded lightly: "Senior Brother Hua, you can strike first." ”
Hua Yunfeng chuckled: "Let me strike first?" Then you won't have a chance to make a move! ”
But he didn't refuse, he directly pulled out his knife, and the knife momentum of the Dacheng stage was released, and he immediately slashed out.
This knife, breaking through the air, is terrifying, as if it can split mountains and mountains.
The sword light shone under the sword momentum, and countless sword qi surged out, oppressing the surrounding disciples to the point that their faces turned red and breathless.
Obviously, this Hua Yunfeng is much stronger than Ye Qingqing, and it is worthy of being ranked tenth, and now eleventh.
But when Yi Xiaoyao saw this knife, there was no fluctuation in the pupils of his eyes.
Immediately, as soon as the Blood Sword came out, everyone felt the astonishing sharp aura emanating from the peak.
I saw that between Yi Xiaoyao raising his sword, a Changhong sword shadow casually turned into a sword shadow, and the Dao sword qi shone out along with the sword light.
This sword is not a sword move, it is just the most ordinary casual slash.
Because this is a competition with the same sect, he can't start too hard, if Yi Xiaoyao uses powerful swordsmanship, he is worried that this Hua Yunfeng will be a dead man in the next moment.
Although it was an ordinary slash, under the blessing of the power of the Blood Sword and the peak of the sword momentum, the aura it exuded was even more terrifying than Hua Yunfeng's sword.
Hua Yunfeng's complexion changed suddenly, how could he not see that Yi Xiaoyao's sword was just a casual slash, but why was the power aura so powerful?
And in the next moment, he actually saw Yi Xiaoyao's sword qi slashed out casually, instantly splitting the sword qi that burst out with all his strength directly in half, and still had a powerful force rushing towards him!
"What?"
The smile on Hua Yunfeng's face had completely dissipated at this time, and he was shocked and slashed again to resist these terrifying sword qi.
Rumble!
After a loud roar, Hua Yunfeng's steps retreated one after another, his body was extremely embarrassed, and he finally sat on the ground, staring at Yi Xiaoyao with a pair of eyes full of horror.
