After defeating Si Kongji, Xiao Han became the first contestant in the group of death to enter the top 85.
Uh … Of course, there was still a long way to go before reaching the top three.
Moreover, the more he progressed, the more ferocious his opponents would be. He might even encounter a seeded contestant. Xiao Han did not feel complacent at all and returned to his seat calmly.
As soon as he returned to his seat, Xiao Han saw many contestants in the group of death looking at him with deep fear!
However, a few seeded contestants were still somewhat disdainful.
Crown Prince Huo Lie looked at Xiao Han with a sinister smile, as if he was looking at a plump prey. Super Sword Cultivator Xia Feng closed his eyes to rest and nurture his sword intent, as if he did not care about anything. Even Mo Zhen looked at Xiao Han with a provocative and stupid gaze.
Xiao Han glanced around, ignored everyone's attention and sat down calmly.
Moreover, Xiao Han no longer concealed himself. He released 60% of his flesh shell's strength and aura. His entire body was covered in golden light and his 28 true acupoints were shining brightly.
"Heh … Brother Xiao, you are indeed powerful, a dark horse in the group of death!"
Fatty Zhu said with a fawning tone, "Brother Xiao, you've defeated the Medicine King Valley's Si Kongji. You've completely risen to fame!"
"Heh … Brother Zhu is the biggest dark horse in the group of death, right?" Xiao Han laughed involuntarily.
"You flatter me, you flatter me. I am far inferior to Brother Xiao … Brother Xiao, you still have some trump cards right?" Fatty Zhu's eyes flickered.
"I don't.
I have already exposed all my cards. "Xiao Han shrugged.
"Really?" Fatty Zhu asked cautiously.
Xiao Han did not say anything more to Fatty Zhu.
The competition of the group of death continued!
The contestants who could advance to the second round of the group of death were indeed extraordinary.
In the second round, Mo Qingtong encountered a formidable opponent.
It was a young swordsman from the Eight Desolate Palace. He was at the fourth level of true qi and had comprehended the blade intent that could only be encountered by chance.
The attention this battle received was far greater than the battle between Xiao Han and Si Kongji.
The young bladesman from the Eight Desolate Palace had an extremely sharp aura. His blade aura was like a ferocious dragon. Every slash of his blade tore through the sky. The golden blade aura caused the ground to crack and even the air to crack.
The saber Qi contained strands of saber intent that surpassed the speed of sound by several times. It could even kill ghosts and immortals.
Xiao Han watched the battle with rapt attention.
Let's see how Mo Qingtong deals with the saber artist's domineering saber momentum.
Because Xiao Han was also a swordsman, he might encounter Mo Qingtong.
At that time, the scene might be like the duel between this sabersman and Mo Qingtong.
However, the battle between the bladesman and Mo Qingtong soon ended.
Mo Qingtong displayed the Heavenly Devil Great World!
The entire arena fell into complete darkness and silence. The air in all directions withered, and all the saber lights twisted and deformed. Even the ethereal saber intent changed its trajectory, flying back at the bladesman.
The swordsman felt like he was trapped in a nightmare. He had no ability to resist at all. His right arm was pierced by his own sword intent. His sword fell to the ground, and he fell to his knees, wailing loudly. Many illusions actually appeared in his mind, and his emotions collapsed. He was defeated!
Mo Qingtong defeated a bladesman at the fourth level of true qi who had comprehended the saber intent in an instant!
In an instant, Mo Qingtong was in the limelight and almost became the number one figure in the preliminaries!
She was too strong!
Even the mighty figures in the void were full of praise for Mo Qingtong.
"This is the Heavenly Devil Great World?
It's terrifying!
As a swordsman who has comprehended the Saber Essence, his willpower is very strong, and it is impossible for him to be disturbed by external forces. However, the Great Demonic World has actually distorted this swordsman's willpower, and even his mind has been defeated … "Xiao Han frowned deeply." If I encounter Mo Qingtong, how should I deal with her? "
Of course, Xiao Han believed that if he used 'Illusory Movement' and 'Sky Demon Investiture' together, he might be able to contend with Mo Qingtong's Heavenly Devil Great World.
But that was his last trump card. He couldn't use it easily under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Otherwise, the almighty in the void might find trouble with him.
However, the shock and amazement created by Mo Qingtong was soon overshadowed by Mingjian Villa's Xia Feng!
In this round, Xia Feng's opponent was Qin Zhu!
Nine-fingered Zither Devil Qin Zhu!
One of the top ten seeded contestants!
The duel between Xia Feng and Qin Zhu could be said to be the most important duel in this preliminaries so far!
A direct conversation between the two seeded contestants!
The atmosphere suddenly became heated!
In the spectator stands, their blood was boiling!
Even the almighty in the void stared with their eyes wide open!
Qin Zhu was indeed one of the top ten seeded contestants. He played a divine tune with his nine fingers. The rhythm and True Qi combined to create a three-hundred-foot tall ancient giant!
This giant was like a peerless demon king. He stepped on demonic clouds, his head was above the vault of heaven. His hands were like hooks, tearing the vault of heaven apart.
However, Xiafeng only needed one strike to shatter the Giant Demon.
Xia Feng drew his sword!
His temperament suddenly changed!
He turned into a sharp unsheathed sword, about to pierce the vault of heaven and kill the immortals!
Eighty-one long rivers of Sword Qi surged above his head. It was the Heavenly Flying Immortal!
In almost a breath's time, Xia Feng slashed out thousands of swords. Each sword was faster and fiercer than the one before. Each sword was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao. Each sword was the work of the gods. Each sword was the ultimate release of Qi!
One slash against a thousand swords, and the thousand swords were like one sword!
Xia Feng cut through the giant demon like a butcher dismembering an ox. The next moment, Qin Zhu's True Qi turned into Xia Feng's sword intent, turning Qin Zhu into dust!
Not even a scrap was left!
Xia Feng sheathed his sword. There was a smile on his face. It was like the smile of a sword god.
The audience was dead silent. It was like a graveyard!
They were both seeded contestants, but Qin Zhu was killed by Xia Feng!
This enchantress of Mingjian Villa had slept for a full four years. When she woke up, she was a genius swordsman. Now, her name had completely shaken the mountains and rivers.
The arrogant Crown Prince Huo Lie's eyes were filled with fear. He hoped that he would not meet Xia Feng early. Otherwise, it would be a battle of life and death.
Xiao Han observed the expressions of the seeded contestants in the death group. Mo Qingtong was slightly moved and Zhou Feng swallowed his saliva. Only the young woman, Ji Rushui, seemed to be immersed in her own world. Her gentle face was filled with sorrow.
Fatty Zhu was beside Xiao Han. His face was pale.
This round of the group of death had ended.
Eighty-five advanced contestants were born.
The wretched Fatty Zhu, like in the previous round, swung his giant sword while dodging his opponent's attack. He crushed his opponent into a bloody mist and advanced to the next round.
The tournament entered a short rest period.
A large number of waiters rushed into the arena, serving delicacies and pastries to the contestants and spectators.
Two young women carried trays and walked to Xiao Han's side. They offered the delicious pastries and fragrant tea with both hands.
Xiao Han accepted the food and thanked them.
One of the young women bowed to Xiao Han. "This young hero is Xiao Han of the Pure Rain Sect. Young hero Xiao?"
"Eh?
Yes, I am Xiao Han. "Xiao Han nodded.
"That's right."
The young woman moved her mouth to Xiao Han's ear and whispered, "Sect Master Wu asked me to pass a message to young hero Xiao. Your proposal to Medicine King Valley's Lan Xi Rong and Jing Yanxue has been obstructed by the Fire Beacon Empire's royal family. Sect Master Wu said that if young hero Xiao meets Fire Beacon Empire's Crown Prince Mo Zhen, please kill or cripple him."
"Huh?" Xiao Han's heart skipped a beat.
At this time, the other maids also took the opportunity to pass on some private messages to the contestants.
"Crown Prince Mo Zhen, His Majesty Mo Chen said that if you meet Pure Rain Sect's Xiao Han, please kill him.
Do not show mercy. "One of the maids passed on the message to Crown Prince Mo Zhen.
"Young Hero Huo Lie, Your Excellency the Emperor of Japan, I have a message for you. If you meet the Pure Cloud Sect's Xiao Han, during the duel, you are to interrogate him about certain matters …" A servant girl passed the message to the Crown Prince.
… …
The maid retreated.
Xiao Han turned back to look at Crown Prince Mo Zhen.
"Xiao Han, you still want to touch Lan Xi Rong and Jing Yanxue?
These two female disciples of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, this Crown Prince has seen them before. They are indeed beauties that can cause the downfall of a nation. Since you want to get your hands on them, then this Crown Prince has no choice but to bring them into my harem as concubines.
But it doesn't matter. After all, this time, you will definitely die! "Crown Prince Mo Zhen looked at Xiao Han coldly.
"I also hope that in the next round, we will be able to meet on the arena." Xiao Han said indifferently.
Killing intent surged in his heart.
After a short break.
Many of the participants and spectators had tasted the delicious pastries, and the competition continued.
It was now the turn of the other groups.
For the other groups, Xiao Han focused on the other seeded participants, as well as Shao Yunrong and Huo Lan, whom he knew.
Several seeded contestants won their matches without any surprises and advanced to the next round.
Shao Yunrong encountered a strong opponent. They fought fiercely for 100 moves. In the end, Shao Yunrong cut a sword mark on her opponent's left cheek with her sword intent. Blood dripped from the wound. Shao Yunrong won and entered the top 40 of her group.
However, Shao Yunrong had used all her skills, and was almost exhausted. It was a pyrrhic victory, and it was hard to say whether she could advance to the next round.
Next was Huo Lan.
Her situation was almost the same as Shao Yunrong's. Huo Lan also won by a narrow margin. Moreover, Huo Lan managed to get the victory by exchanging injuries with her opponent and entered the top 40 of her group.
When she retreated from the duel, she was vomiting blood, and many were worried.
Xiao Han also broke into a cold sweat for her.
Soon, it was the turn of the death group again.
Now, there were 85 participants left in the death group, and they were going to fight in pairs.
However, there was an odd number, so a free participant was drawn first.
Xia Feng of Mingjian Villa was drawn as a free participant.
This made almost all the participants in the death group breathe a long sigh of relief.
The first to fight in the death group was still Xiao Han.
His opponent for this round was randomly selected.
It turned out to be a seeded player!
Zhou Feng of Starry Hall!
This time, the audience was in an uproar!
After defeating Si Kongji, the peerless genius of Medicine King Valley, Xiao Han was known as a dark horse in the death group. His strength was evaluated as close to a seeded player, but still a little behind.
As long as he did not encounter a seeded player, it was still very likely to compete for a place in the main competition.
However, he encountered a seeded player in the match for the top 42 out of the 85!
Zhou Feng!
The sound of discussion rose and fell in succession in the audience seats.
Cloud Sect camp …
"Oh no!
Junior Brother Xiao Han encountered one of the top ten seeded players in advance! "Dongfang Qin's face changed slightly.
"Let's wait and see.
It's not completely hopeless. "Fang Ling's face did not look too good.
"I have to say, Junior Brother Xiao Han's luck is slightly bad.
Meeting a seeded player so early, even if he can win, it will definitely be a pyrrhic victory. It will consume too much of his qi and essence, which is very disadvantageous for the following tough battles. "
…
Void Spectator Stand.
"Hahahaha … Sect Leader Wu, Xiao Han's path ends here." The Sun Emperor laughed, but there was some regret.
"It's a pity that Xiao Han encountered Zhou Feng, and not my disciple Huo Lie.
However, Zhou Feng is also a bloodthirsty person, he will not let Xiao Han have an easy time! "
Lord Wu smiled faintly and did not speak.
Xiao Ming Chu's eyes revealed an expression of contemplation.
An old man with a strong aura, his eyes flashing with light and runes.
"This battle is destined to be very exciting!
Xiao Han's flesh is tyrannical, and he is a Physical Dual Cultivator. As for Zhou Feng, he uses starlight to temper his body, and is almost immortal. He is known as the number one Physical Dual Cultivator in the Blazing Sun Empire.
Furthermore, Zhou Feng is also a Physical Dual Cultivator, and his qi is at the fourth level. Once the Refining Star Demon Slaying Blade is used, both ghosts and gods will be destroyed.
In many ways, Xiao Han is very similar to Zhou Feng!
This battle is very interesting!
Everyone, watch the battle! "
"Hahahaha!
This old man can't wait!
Both of them entered the arena!
Entering the arena!
It's time to fight! "Another old man stroked his beard and laughed.
…
…
