Monarch Cloud Shuttle flicked his finger, and wisps of clouds spread out, covering the ten regions. Two names appeared in each region, and those were the names of the people who were about to fight.
Leng Shiqi looked up and saw his name. He muttered, "It's my turn so soon."
Then, he walked straight to the region in the distance. At the same time, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"Eh, this person is only at the middle stage of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm?" Immediately, many people were doubtful.
"He is indeed at the middle stage of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm. Looking at his young age, it's rare for him to be at this stage."
"I wonder which county he came from. To be able to come to the imperial capital at the middle stage of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, it's either that county has no one, or this person's strength is outstanding and comparable to the late stage."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Hearing the discussion, Chang Fengyu, Huang Shiyuan, and the others from Donglin County sneered. They knew best that this Leng Shiqi was only in his twenties!
His combat strength was close to the peak of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm!
It was far beyond everyone's imagination!
However, they did not say anything. They wanted to see the shocked expressions of others, just like how they were before.
Leng Shiqi's opponent was called Meng Xuan. Others might not know the details of others, but Leng Shiqi, as one of the four chiefs of the First Spirit Cultivator Conference, naturally knew everything.
He instantly recalled all the information about Meng Xuan. This person came from the Cheng Huan County in the northern part of the Thunderblaze Dynasty. He was an elder of a first-rate sect and had a cultivation at the late stage of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.
This was Meng Xuan's best saber technique, and he had a seventh-tier saber in his hand. His strength was not ordinary.
Leng Shiqi stepped lightly and arrived at the center of the region, waiting with his head held high.
Meng Xuan was a thin person who looked very capable. He walked over step by step, and a biting cold saber intent soared into the air and locked onto Leng Shiqi.
Leng Shiqi smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth. "Junior Leng Shiqi, please enlighten me."
Meng Xuan did not underestimate his opponent. He was very clear that those who could come to the Imperial Capital were definitely not weaklings. The fact that this young man in front of him could stand here with the cultivation of the middle-stage of the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm meant that he definitely had something outstanding about him!
He clenched his fist, and a crescent blade that carried the aura of Muyuan appeared. The blade's aura soared into the sky, and its aura reached the rainbow!
On the other hand, Leng Shiqi still took out his Level Five Spiritual Sword, which looked extremely shabby in front of his opponent's Level Seven Precious Weapon.
Meng Xuan's face darkened as well, and he said with dissatisfaction, "Aren't you looking down on us too much?"
Leng Shiqi shrugged and said, "Senior, please don't misunderstand. I'm very poor and only have this much spiritual energy. Please don't blame me."
"Hmph, that's enough. Hurry up and start."
Meng Xuan was a little impatient. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not bullying you because your cultivation is low. I'll let you make the first move."
"Really?" Leng Shiqi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Of course."
"Then this junior will respectfully accept."
Leng Shiqi cupped his hands, and then the blade of his sword trembled. A terrifying sword intent soared into the sky, stirring up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
In an instant, the void froze, and the sky and earth were enveloped by endless sword intent. The sword intent turned into a huge shadow.
The shadow stepped forward with the sword, as if it had merged with heaven and earth. This was the true unity of heaven and man!
Leng Shiqi's first move was a Sword Immortal!
As soon as the Sword Immortal appeared, the space in the entire area trembled slightly, as if even the void was about to shatter.
Meng Xuan's expression became very stiff. He never dreamed that Leng Shiqi's first move would be such a powerful attack. It was so powerful that he didn't have any confidence in receiving it!
The reason why he let Leng Shiqi make the first move was not that he underestimated Leng Shiqi, but that he wanted to see Leng Shiqi's moves first. Who would have thought that he would be in danger before he could see his moves?
Meng Xuan's saber moved, and endless wood energy rose. The saber's momentum cut through the void as if it had the power of ten thousand catties!
However, this saber was nothing in front of the Sword Immortal!
In just one exchange, the Sword Immortal's shadow directly shattered Meng Xuan's saber momentum. The remaining force did not decrease as it pointed its sword at Meng Xuan's dantian!
At this moment, Meng Xuan's expression finally changed drastically. Even though that slash earlier wasn't his trump card, he had fully unleashed the strength of the advanced-stage of the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm. How could it be as weak as paper?
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to counterattack. There were only two things he could do.
One was to resist with all his might, and the other was to admit defeat!
Meng Xuan did not hesitate to shout loudly, "I admit defeat!"
After he shouted these three words, Leng Shiqi's sword style changed. The Sword Immortal's shadow suddenly disappeared, and the sword intent that filled the sky also dissipated as if it had never appeared.
Meng Xuan could not help but feel relieved. Just now, he actually felt a trace of threat to his life!
However, at the same time, his old face turned red. His cultivation was clearly higher than his opponent's, but he had been defeated so quickly. He had lost all his face.
Meng Xuan looked around and saw that there were indeed a lot of eyes watching him and Leng Shiqi. He coughed awkwardly a few times and left dejectedly.
In fact, those people were basically looking at Leng Shiqi. Everyone's eyes were more or less filled with surprise.
Leng Shiqi's Sword Immortal was extremely stunning. Some of the people present were also sword cultivators. They were the most shocked because they could see that Leng Shiqi's attainments in the Sword Dao had even exceeded his own realm!
This meant that Leng Shiqi's future cultivation path would be smooth sailing without too many bottlenecks. This alone was enough to make many people envious.
"He defeated Meng Xuan in one move. This person's strength is probably stronger than many late-stage Unity of Heaven and Man realm cultivators."
"Late-stage?
Even those at the peak of Unity of Heaven and Man realm can't do this. "
"Those who can enter the second round are really capable. This person can't be underestimated."
A few sword cultivators in the crowd gathered together. "Everyone, you all saw it."
"Sword Heart Illuminated, Sword Intent pure. His Sword Dao is very pure. It won't be long before he surpasses me."
"Which sect is he from? Why haven't I heard of him before?"
"Yes, we have to ask around."
At this moment, Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan said, "Leng Shiqi wins."
He even looked at Leng Shiqi a few more times. For some reason, he felt like he had seen Leng Shiqi somewhere before.
Leng Shiqi cupped his hands at Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan and walked to the corner of the crowd. Although he had used several secret techniques to hide his aura, he was not sure if he could really avoid Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan's gaze. It was better to ignore Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan.
Leng Shiqi also knew that although he had easily defeated Meng Xuan with his current Sword Dao strength, there were no weaklings in the following rounds. At most, he could hold on for two more rounds.
If he wanted to make it to the Flying Dragon List with only 36 spots, he had to use other methods!
