On the martial arts stage.
Jin Tianzhan was dressed in golden robes and exuded a terrifying aura. His eyes were bright as he stared at Goddess Pei Xi.
Anyone could see that Jin Tianzhan was interested in Goddess Pei Xi.
However, Goddess Pei Xi turned a blind eye to it.
This wasn't something that happened in a day or two.
Before joining the Black Sky Sect, Jin Tianzhan had been pursuing Goddess Pei Xi.
If Goddess Pei Xi hadn't joined the Black Sky Sect, Jin Tianzhan definitely wouldn't have joined the Black Sky Sect.
This was because he already had a clear goal before that, and that was to join the three palaces.
Jin Tianzhan had sacrificed a lot for Goddess Pei Xi.
Jin Tianzhan was a very violent person, but he was very gentle when facing Goddess Pei Xi.
"Goddess Pei Xi."
Jin Tianzhan's face was full of smiles. "There's no need for us to fight anymore, right?"
Hearing this, Goddess Pei Xi's expression flickered as she looked at Jin Tianzhan with her beautiful eyes.
"If you admit defeat, there's naturally no need to fight anymore," Goddess Pei Xi said.
Hearing this, the smile on Jin Tianzhan's face was slightly awkward.
He didn't want to attack Goddess Pei Xi.
However, his goal this time was to win the title of Junior Commander King with a complete victory.
So, sorry.
"Goddess Pei Xi, you're no match for me," Jin Tianzhan continued.
Goddess Pei Xi nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. The vital essence around her surged.
Her actions had already shown everything.
Seeing this, the smile on Jin Tianzhan's face disappeared.
In the next moment, Jin Tianzhan's body instantly moved.
In an instant, countless afterimages appeared on the martial arts stage.
It made it impossible to tell which one was Jin Tianzhan's true body.
Whoosh!
Seeing this, Fairy Pei Xi suddenly waved her small white hand.
In the sky, gusts of wind blew. These gusts of wind contained an extremely vast amount of Vital Spirit.
Whoosh!
The gusts of wind blew on the afterimages, instantly shattering them one by one.
Seeing this scene, everyone's expression changed drastically.
All this time, no one had known that Fairy Pei Xi was so powerful.
Today, they truly understood how terrifying Goddess Pei Xi was.
"What an exquisite secret technique."
In the square, Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Fairy Pei Xi's move seemed simple, but it was actually very difficult.
Ordinary martial artists would not be able to do so.
As Fang Chen spoke, a strong gust of wind blew across the arena.
Jin Tianzhan's afterimages were all shattered. In the end, the wind blasted Jin Tianzhan's true body.
Bang
Jin Tianzhan's true body was forced to take a few steps back.
His eyes were extremely solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Fairy Pei Xi, I don't want to attack you. Why are you forcing me?"
Back then, Jin Tianzhan was already much stronger than Fairy Pei Xi at the Guillotine Cliff.
After such a long time, Jin Tianzhan was still confident that he could defeat Fairy Pei Xi.
However, he did not want to attack Fairy Pei Xi.
Love was the most magical thing in the world.
No one would be able to understand Jin Tianzhan's feelings if they weren't deeply involved.
At this moment, Jin Tianzhan felt extremely complicated.
However, Fairy Pei Xi's expression was unusually calm.
She was still attacking, completely ignoring Jin Tianzhan's words.
Seeing that, Jin Tianzhan finally made a decision.
He wanted to win this battle. He would not allow himself to be defeated.
"Fairy Pei Xi, let's end this battle here."
As he spoke, Jin Tianzhan unleashed his strongest power.
A saber appeared in Jin Tianzhan's hand. The saber contained a bit of death aura.
"Death Saber."
Jin Tianzhan growled. The saber spun quickly. The death aura on the saber instantly condensed into a dazzling saber light.
Then, it slashed towards Fairy Pei Xi.
A tsunami-like attack instantly blasted towards Fairy Pei Xi.
Fairy Pei Xi's expression changed drastically.
Immediately, she desperately tried to resist.
However, it was to no avail.
The combat power that Jin Tianzhan unleashed was too strong. Fairy Pei Xi was no match for him and was instantly defeated.
Whoosh!
Fortunately, Jin Tianzhan put away his saber at the critical moment, so Fairy Pei Xi was not injured.
After the battle, Jin Tianzhan cupped his hands apologetically towards Fairy Pei Xi.
Fairy Pei Xi shook her head and left the martial arts arena.
There was an uproar in the square.
Even Scholar Heaven's Fury and the others were surprised.
Scholar Heaven's Fury was the most popular candidate for this junior commander battle.
However, no one expected that Jin Tianzhan of Golden Sky Palace had been hiding his strength.
The power that he unleashed just now was enough to threaten Scholar Heaven's Fury.
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.
"Jin Tianzhan wins," the referee announced after recovering from his shock.
After Jin Tianzhan and Fairy Pei Xi's battle ended, the battle between Golden Sky Palace and Azure Palace also came to an end.
Unsurprisingly, Jin Tianzhan became the junior commander with the most points from Golden Sky Palace.
Although Fairy Pei Xi lost a battle, she still became the junior commander of Azure Palace who advanced to the finals.
In this way, the eight junior commanders with the most points from the eight palaces all advanced to the finals.
Sanguinati of Fengtian Palace, Xue Zixuan of Bloodthirsty Palace, Wen Hanshan of Frosty Peak Palace, Bai Chenfeng of Sky Wind Palace, Jin Tianzhan of Golden Sky Palace, Fairy Pei Xi of Azure Palace, Baili Guan of Pearl Mountain Palace, and Scholar Heaven's Fury of Heavenly Book Palace.
These eight people were the eight strongest junior commanders in the Black Heaven Sect so far.
Today, it was already late.
Seeing that the sky had already darkened, Ye Zichen sighed.
After a discussion, the eight armored commanders decided that the finals would be held tomorrow.
It was just enough time for the eight junior commanders who advanced to the finals to prepare for the night.
After the referee's announcement, everyone left.
Just as Fang Chen was about to leave, Fairy Pei Xi called out to him.
"Sanguinati."
Fairy Pei Xi's voice entered Fang Chen's ears.
Immediately, the latter stopped in his tracks.
When he turned around, Fairy Pei Xi was already beside him.
Fairy Pei Xi stretched out her fair little hand and smiled. "Long time no see."
Fang Chen froze for a moment, then reached out and shook Fairy Pei Xi's hand.
"Long time no see."
Last time, they had only met once at the Decapitation Cliff outside Fengtian City.
However, Fang Chen had a good impression of Fairy Pei Xi.
Back then, four powerhouses of the younger generation came to the Decapitation Cliff and tried to communicate with the demon sword.
Among them, Jin Tianzhan and Wang Wenlong looked down on him.
They knew him, but they still tried to kill him.
Only Gu Xingyun and Fairy Pei Xi spoke up for him.
"I didn't expect you to have grown to such a level since we parted that day," Fairy Pei Xi said with a smile.
Fang Chen also smiled. "Yeah, I didn't expect that we would be fellow disciples the second time we met."
Most of the martial artists had already left. In the distance, Jin Tianzhan's face was extremely gloomy.
He glared at Sanguinati, his heart filled with anger.
Seeing Fairy Pei Xi talking and laughing with Sanguinati, he finally couldn't hold back and came to Sanguinati's side.
"Sanguinati, long time no see."
Jin Tianzhan said in a deep voice.
However, there was a hint of threat in his words.
Fang Chen looked at Jin Tianzhan fearlessly, his robe fluttering without wind.
"Jin Tianzhan."
Fairy Pei Xi sensed Jin Tianzhan's killing intent and scolded him.
Hearing that, Jin Tianzhan's killing intent quickly receded. He then turned to look at Fairy Pei Xi with a smile on his face.
"A clown will always be a clown. No matter how you package him, it's useless," Jin Tianzhan muttered to himself.
"Even an ant can trip an elephant. What's so strange about a clown defeating a so-called genius?"
Fang Chen retorted.
"Kid, if I meet you in the finals tomorrow, I'll break your legs," Jin Tianzhan sneered and said disdainfully.
After saying that, he turned and left without giving Fang Chen a chance to refute.
Fairy Pei Xi looked at Fang Chen apologetically and also left the Bloodthirsty Palace.
Looking at Jin Tianzhan's back, Fang Chen narrowed his eyes.
"I hate it when people threaten me."
After a day of the Junior Commanders' Battle, the eight strongest Junior Commanders had been decided.
Tomorrow was the final round. At that time, the eight Junior Commanders would fight one on one.
It was extraordinary to be able to advance to the final round.
Fang Chen also felt a trace of pressure. As soon as he returned to the Fengtian Palace, Fang Chen went directly to the battle arena.
There was a battle arena in each of the eight palaces.
The battle arena was a magical place.
After a martial artist entered, the battle arena would sense it and form a phantom completely condensed from vital essence. It was exactly the same as the martial artist's cultivation.
The martial artist fought with the phantom to improve their combat strength.
Fang Chen entered the battle arena and prepared to hone his Heavenly Demon Sword Art.
Puchi!
After defeating a phantom beside him with a sword strike.
Suddenly, 16 phantoms appeared in the battle arena.
"Kill!"
Every time a phantom was defeated, the number of phantoms in the battle arena would double.
From one phantom at the beginning to 16 phantoms now.
If he defeated these 16 phantoms, he would directly face 32 phantoms next time.
In short, there were endless phantoms in the battle arena.
It was the best place to hone one's combat strength.
While Fang Chen was fighting crazily in the battle arena, the Junior Commanders of the other palaces also entered the battle arena one after another.
Only Jin Tianzhan and Heaven's Fury Scholar were very confident, thinking that with their strength, they could easily take first place.
The two of them did not enter the battle arena.
They disdained to be with others.
Night fell, and the sky was twinkling with stars.
The battle arena in the eight palaces was brightly lit.
Rumble!
In the battle arena, the sound of battle resounded through the sky.
However, this was a sealed space, so there was no need to worry about sound leaking out.
Fang Chen burst out with all his strength, urging the Heavenly Demon Sword Art to the extreme. One phantom after another was killed by him.
Now, the number of phantoms that Fang Chen was facing had reached a shocking 128.
And this was not his limit.
"Kill!"
Fang Chen shouted in a low voice, and the Heavenly Demon Sword Art was displayed again.
Only by breaking through the limit could one squeeze out one's potential and improve one's strength.
Fang Chen kept killing phantoms.
