The day of the second round of the knockout stage.

On the square, it was still crowded and full.

But it's different from the last time it was bustling.

This time, the atmosphere in the entire audience seemed a little trembling, and no one dared to speak loudly at will.

Every now and then there is a gaze that looks towards the stands.

To be precise, they were looking at Deng Xiujin and Qiu Gaochang.

Today's Deng Xiujin's face was extremely gloomy, and his body exuded a terrifying aura that made people walk on thin ice.

Qiu Gaochang, who was sitting not far away, also had an ugly face, and couldn't stop touching his chin, as if he was pondering something.

It's not for nothing that the two of them became like this.

Because just the day before, Jin Haocang from Yihuan City died in a high-end inn!

Not only did he die, but also one of his bodyguards, who was very strong, and he was a powerhouse in the early stage of the Divine Longevity Realm!

But there was no trace of a struggle at the scene.

This also shows that the strength of the murderers who killed them is very likely to be in the late stage of the Shenshou Realm, or even ...... Higher!

And such a murderer is mixed up in Linfeng City!

To this end, the autumn ???????????????? Gao Chang and Deng Xiujin almost fought.

If it weren't for the city lord of Linfeng City, it would be impossible for them to sit together now.

"Jin Haocang's death...... Does it have anything to do with him? ”

Kong Wangying looked at Ye Qingchen in the rest area and whispered to Lin Fuhai next to him.

"If that's the case, then the energy hidden behind this kid is probably beyond our expectations."

Lin Fuhai responded indifferently: "But no matter how we guess the true identity and origin of this kid. ”

"We ...... It's inevitable that you can't have any holiday with this kid. ”

He didn't lower his voice when he said this, but said it normally, and he didn't shy away from Qiu Gaochang and Deng Xiujin.

Qiu Gaochang and Deng Xiujin were stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Qingchen, and immediately understood what Lin Fuhai meant.

To put it simply, it is better to believe what is there than not to believe what it is not.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Ye Qingchen does not have a so-called backer behind him, with his potential, he can be completely worthy of wooing.

Even if you can't be a friend, you must never be an enemy.

For the sake of just one Jin Haocang, offend such a potential seed...... Not worth it at all.

"Old immortal, what do you think?"

Qiu Gaochang asked directly.

“……”

Deng Xiujin was silent for a while, and then pouted:

"What can I think? Since this has come to pass, then I'll just let it be. ”

Deng Xiujin's meaning is also obvious.

He had given up on pursuing the matter.

"Then ...... the Jin family in your city?"

"I'll just give them a squeak, if they insist on doing it...... That's none of my business. ”

Deng Xiujin Road.

Soon, the second round of the elimination stage will begin.

Among the first batch of players to fight on stage, there was Ye Qingchen.

The other party is still a cultivator of the eighth level of the transcendent realm, and he is from the Polar Night Xuanzong.

In the battle, the opponent obviously used roundabout tactics to preserve his true qi as much as possible and not to collide with Ye Qingchen.

Obviously, although Ye Qingchen's combat power is exaggerated to a certain extent, these geniuses are not vegetarians.

They soon discovered Ye Qingchen's weakness - that is, the lack of foundation.

Therefore, this opponent adopted such tactics as soon as he came up, in order to make the best use of his powerful advantages.

However, Ye Qingchen naturally would not let the other party succeed so easily.

When the opponent retreats, he attacks.

He wants to force the opponent to have to fight him head-on, and then destroy the opponent's purpose.

And this has clearly been successful.

The other party had to fight him head-on, and the speed at which the True Qi was consumed was also extremely terrifying.

In the end, Ye Qingchen successfully defeated the other party and successfully won the qualification for the third round of the elimination stage.

Those who successfully advanced to the third round of the elimination stage were all the seven hotly discussed players, plus a sudden "dark horse" Ye Qingchen.

And this time in the draw, Ye Qingchen drew the "sheath walker" Zhou Yongping who he saw in the rest area before.

Both sword cultivators, these two glanced at each other the moment they drew each other.

"It's an honor to draw you."

Zhou Yongping suddenly transmitted a message to him.

"I've watched you fight before."

"Your kendo attainments are extremely high, and you are the most worthy opponent for me at this stage."

Ye Qingchen was stunned, and then responded with a smile:

"I'm looking forward to having a good fight with you."

The clock was fast approaching three days later.

Compared with the selection stage and the first two rounds, the audience who came to the scene this time was obviously several times more than before.

Because from this stage onwards, it is the real battle for geniuses.

Especially in the case of the birth of a super dark horse with Ye Qingchen.

He has risen to prominence from the selection stage, from obscurity, all the way to the present fame.

Therefore, many people are looking forward to what step Ye Qingchen can take.

As he and Zhou Yongping became rivals, the attention they received was even higher.

However, they all knew very well that although Zhou Yongping's cultivation was still at the eighth level of transcendence.

But his own combat power no longer belongs to the level of the eighth level of the transcendence realm!

If Ye Qingchen wants to defeat Zhou Yongping, I'm afraid he will be forced to do everything he can!

Therefore, they are looking forward to the battle between the two, whether there will be any different variables.

In the square, two of the six round platforms were also removed, and only four were left.

"You say, these two boys are both sword cultivators. Although the kendo is different, the two of them are both good at kendo. ”

"Who will win the battle between the two of them?"

In the stands, Yu Cheng gently shook the feather fan in his hand and glanced at Ye Qingchen and Zhou Yongping in the rest area.

"It's hard to say, although the sword paths of these two people are different, they are both extremely domineering, and their power is even more terrifying."

Qiu Gaochang said casually, and suddenly seemed to be interested, and turned his head to look at Deng Xiujin:

"By the way, the old immortal, why don't we make a bet?"

Deng Xiujin snorted and said, "Okay, just bet...... I'm betting that Ye Qingchen's kid won. ”

Autumn Gaochang; “……”

Seeing Qiu Gaochang's look as if he had eaten stool, Deng Xiujin was immediately happy.

"What? Even you think Zhou Yongping can't win against Ye Qingchen? ”

Qiu Gaochang suddenly became dissatisfied: "I don't have it, who knew that you bet on Ye Qingchen first, that's what I want to bet!" ”

"Don't talk about those who don't, this bet is what you proposed, don't back down at this time."

Deng Xiujin was deliberately excited: "Otherwise, I would really look down on you old guy." "......" Qiu Gaochang gritted his teeth, "Bet on it!" I bet Zhou Yongping will win! ”

It's not just these two bigwigs who are betting on the victory or defeat between Ye Qingchen and Zhou Yongping.

Even more than eighty percent of the spectators in attendance bet on one of the casinos in the city.

It can be seen especially how much attention is paid to the duel between Ye Qingchen and Zhou Yongping.

"Please draw each other's eight players on the stage in turn!"

Zhong Kai shouted loudly.

The words fell, and the eight players climbed the four round platforms respectively.

The moment Ye Qingchen and Zhou Yongping stepped onto the round platform, almost half of the eyes of the audience were focused on the two of them.

On the round stage, the two were opposed to each other.

"Bai Jinlan once told me that you are an opponent worthy of attention."

Suddenly, Zhou Yongping spoke: "I think so too. ”

Bai Jinlan?

Ye Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Bai Jinlan would attach so much importance to him.

"Four round platforms, listen to my orders...... Showdown, begin! ”

Zhong Kai's voice fell, and Zhou Yongping ???????????????? Holding the sheath, he grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand and slowly pulled it out.

As the sword body was unsheathed, the cold cold light was reflected on Zhou Yongping's face, and his side face was reflected in the sword body.

"The name of the sword - 'No Waste'."

Zhou Yongping pulled out the Wuhuang Sword, held the scabbard in his left hand, and raised the Wuhuang Sword with his right hand, facing Ye Qingchen.

"Please advise."

Sword cultivation, since the sword in his hand to start the duel, the end of the duel.

Seeing Zhou Yongping's appearance, Ye Qingchen frowned slightly.

Generally speaking, when sword cultivators fight, they either don't have a scabbard and store the sword inside the ring.

Either so, put the scabbard in the ring, just in case something happens during the battle.

However, this is not the case with Zhou Yongping.

But it's not much use to think about it at this time.

Ye Qingchen also called out the Yucang Sword: "The name of the sword is 'Yucang'...... Please advise. ”

Rumble!

Zhou Yongping's body suddenly erupted with a sword intent like a slaughter after autumn.

A barren aura also spread, covering Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen's body also erupted with a strong aura like a 10,000-year-old ancient tree, and the sword intent on his body rushed in all directions, swallowing the clouds and rivers.

The next moment, the two of them stomped hard at the same time, and the swords in their hands slashed at each other at the same time.

Bell ——!!

A clang, almost piercing the eardrum, rang out in all directions.

Zhou Yongping's brows furrowed suddenly.

He could sense that when the sword qi that burst out of his own burst touched Ye Qingchen's sword qi, it was as if it was swallowed by a whirlpool, and a part of the sword qi disappeared out of thin air!

At the same time, the Immortal Sword in his hand was also faintly trembling when it collided with the opponent's Imperial Sword!

"This sword...... Absolutely extraordinary! ”

In just a moment, Zhou Yongping made a judgment in an instant, and at the same time, the true qi exploded in an instant like a mountain and a sea, shaking Ye Qingchen far away.

At the same time, he swung the scabbard of his left hand and waved it lightly.

In an instant, the aura of destruction like desolation swept in, like a sword slashing, and everything in the world was desolate!

】

This kind of aura is exactly the same as the breath slashed out by the Boundless Sword!

This scene made Ye Qingchen's pupils shrink slightly-

He could actually use the scabbard as another wasteless sword?!
