The powerful sword qi from behind forced Qin Shi to take a few steps back. When he stabilized himself, his eyes turned cold.
"Sword Qi Piercing Space!"
There was an uproar below the stage, and countless disciples widened their eyes in excitement.
Sword Qi Piercing Space was a movement technique that had great influence in the Sword Sect. It was also the fastest movement technique in the history of the Sword Sect.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
There was a series of tremors in the distance of a thousand meters. Su Tiao's body appeared in front of everyone's eyes in pieces, and he closed the distance between him and Yun Yan several times.
Below the stage, many elders in the elder seating area could not help but exclaim, "Sword Qi Piercing Space shooting four times in a row. How powerful."
"Yes, I really did not expect Su Tiao to have cultivated Sword Qi Piercing Space to such a superb level at such a young age."
"Indeed, with his current level, he is not far off from the 33rd generation back then."
"This boy's talent is extraordinary, and his future is limitless. He already has this level of cultivation now, and if he is given a few hundred years to grow, he might reach a height that the Sword Sect has never reached before."
Many elders sighed in admiration.
Zhang Hun stroked his beard and chuckled. His face was filled with satisfaction and mockery towards Lu Shan.
Some of the neutral elders looked at each other and began to discuss, "However, this battle is really interesting."
"Yes, the two of them should have been fellow disciples, but they ended up like this."
"But then again, Su Tiao's actions today are really a slap to Master Lu Shan's face. He trampled on Yun Yan so easily. This is undoubtedly showing to the world that his choice back then was not wrong." "Sigh, Master Lu Shan has really been unlucky these years.
"Alas, Master Lu Shan has really been down on his luck these past few years. Su Tu's betrayal caused him to sink into depression for several years. Later, he thought that Mei Tianjiao's appearance could help him walk out of the shadow, but he didn't expect Mei Tianjiao to unfortunately die, and Jian Qing was expelled from the sect in the end. All these years, he has always been alone, concocting pills in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. It wasn't easy for him to take in Yun Yan, and now he has been humiliated by Su Tu.
"Yes, fate really makes fools of people. No matter what, Lu Shan was someone who was as famous as Zhang Hun and Feng Sha, but in the end, he ended up like this."
"Things remain the same, but people have changed."
Many elders sighed in a daze. One of them said, "With Su Tiao's temper, this competition might take his life. If that's the case, Master Lu Shan's last root will be pulled out, and he will probably collapse."
"Who knows? But given the current situation, it's impossible for Yun Yan to hide from Su Tiao, unless Su Tiao shows mercy and lets Yun Yan live."
At this point, everyone raised their heads and looked at the stage, but they could not help but shake their heads.
This was because they all knew that this was basically impossible. The expression on Su Tiao's face was extremely obvious. The thick murderous intent was aimed at taking Yun Yan's life.
However, just when everyone was certain that Yun Yan was dead for sure, Yun Yan struggled to his feet in the ruins. He did not even have the strength to stand. He looked at the approaching Su Tiao as his eyes were filled with disbelief and helplessness.
However, right at this moment, a young elder suddenly said, "I don't think so. All of you seem to have overlooked something."
"What do you mean?"
"Yun Yan's life or death is not in the hands of Su Tiao alone. Don't forget that there's still another person on the stage who has the same expectations as Su Tiao."
"Oh?"
Several elders frowned. Soon after, they looked at the corner of Qin Shi's black robes from the corner of their eyes and exclaimed, "You're talking about Qin Shi?"
This elder was the one who had followed behind Jian Qing at the God Domain Ceremony. He lightly nodded.
The numerous elders fell silent. Moments later, one of them shook his head and said, "It's impossible. If it was someone else, perhaps Qin Shi might be able to change anything. However, given the current situation, it's simply a daydream for him to rescue Yun Yan from Su Tiao's hands."
"Su Tiao's speed has already reached the limit. In fact, there might not be anyone among us who is faster than him. Although Qin Shi is also proficient in speed, there's still a fundamental difference between the elemental power he uses and the Sword Qi Piercing Space martial art."
"Yun Yan is dead for sure."
Su Tiao's speed could only be measured by his breathing. Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, Su Tiao was already in front of Yun Yan.
The entire crowd held their breaths.
Lu Shan's fists fiercely clenched, his old eyes suffused with worry and killing intent.
Su Tiao paused for a moment, before he sneered at Yun Yan, "Brat, looks like even the heavens aren't going to save you. You won't be able to leave this stage today. However, don't hate me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for following the wrong person."
Yun Yan's eyes widened, filled with rage. However, he discovered that he was unable to move even half a step under Su Tiao's pressure.
Su Tiao ignored him, turning around to glance at Qin Shi, who was still rooted to the spot, before he suddenly chuckled, "Haha, brat, looks like I've won this time."
Immediately, he turned around, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. With a twist of his hand, the Devouring Flame Sword ignited. He gathered the sword at his waist, before slowly stabbing it towards Yun Yan's chest.
During this entire process, a mocking smile hung from the corners of his mouth, as if he was enjoying this slaughter and the joy of defeating Qin Shi.
At this moment, the Devouring Flame Sword had already pierced through Yun Yan's sword robes. The entire crowd's eyes were wide open, the entire place completely silent, as if afraid of missing any detail.
"Bzz!"
Just at this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out in this deathly silence where even the drop of a pin could cause a ripple, instantly setting off an extreme frenzy.
"Bzz bzz bzz!"
Endless explosions rang out, causing the entire crowd to furrow their brows. Soon after, when they turned their bodies slightly, their eyes were instantly filled with shock.
"Isn't it a little too early to say that you've won!"
Suddenly, a mocking laugh came from behind Su Tiao. Even he himself was slightly startled, because the direction of the voice was simply too close to him, as if it was ringing in his ears.
He abruptly turned around, and then his vision darkened as he was covered by a black robe. In that instant, he was in a daze, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"How, how is this possible?"
Su Tiao's heart sank. Qin Shi had suddenly appeared behind him.
Moreover, it was a very calm appearance, with one hand grabbing onto his arm that was holding the Devouring Flame Sword.
Of course, he didn't see it clearly, but the countless disciples and elders below the square saw it clearly, and they almost choked with sobs. After a long while, someone suddenly screamed, "Just now, just now, what happened just now?"
"So, so fast … Isn't this too fast, a little too unbelievable?"
Qin Shi's actions had even alarmed Feng Sha, Zhang Hun, Fang Qing, Wan Yue and the others. Even their eyes were slightly infatuated.
"Heh, this little thing is really unbelievable." Wan Yue was stunned for a while, then she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Just now, just now, was that Sword Qi piercing through the air?"
"What did you say?
Sword Qi piercing through the air?
You, you're saying that Qin Shi also used Sword Qi piercing through the air just now? "
"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong. The Sword Qi that shot out from behind the black robe is definitely the Sword Qi piercing through the air. It can't be wrong …" The disciple paused, his expression strange, "But, but, how could he know Sword Qi piercing through the air?
Sword Qi piercing through the air is a movement technique of the Sword Pavilion. In the entire Sword Sect, there are only a handful of people who have mastered this movement technique. Other than the Sect Master, Zhang Hun, Feng Sha, and Master Lu Shan, only Su Tiao has comprehended it in the Sword Pavilion a few years ago. How could this kid have mastered it? "
Suddenly, someone's expression changed as he exclaimed, "Could it be that it's also the Sword Pavilion?"
At this time, many people were surprised to remember that half a year ago, Qin Shi had also entered the Sword Pavilion and reached the highest level that the Sword Pavilion had ever reached.
However, until now, no one knew the swordsmanship that he had comprehended.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes flickered, "It's highly possible!"
In the end, many people were certain that this was the reason and said, "This kid has really hidden it well."
"But did you guys notice that the Sword Qi piercing through the air he used just now is a little different from Su Tiao's?"
After pondering for a moment, everyone nodded their heads.
"Indeed. Earlier, Su Tiu used four consecutive sprays and traversed a distance of a thousand meters in three breaths of time. Qin Shi, on the other hand, only used a single spray and traversed a thousand meters. Isn't this brat's talent a little too frightening?"
"No, although his Sword Qi piercing through the air is fast, its movement is very stiff. Furthermore, it seems like it's lacking something."
A sharp-eyed person said, "It's not that it's lacking anything. From his Sword Qi piercing through the air, there's a thick thunderous sound as if it's fused with his own. It's a little different from ordinary Sword Qi piercing through the air."
Hearing that, many elders nodded their heads in agreement.
But no matter what, everyone's attention was on Qin Shi. He was like the main character with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Su Tiao's eyes turned cold. In terms of surprise, he should be the most surprised person here. He fiercely clenched his fist and shouted, "How is this possible? How did you master the Sword Qi piercing through the air?"
Perhaps others might not know, but Su Tiao knew very well that Qin Shi's Sword Qi piercing through the air couldn't have been comprehended from the Sword Pavilion.
That was because when he entered the Sword Pavilion and obtained the inheritance of the Sword Qi piercing through the air, he did something that no one knew about, and that was to personally shatter the martial record of the Sword Qi piercing through the air.
In other words, in the entire Sword Sect, apart from him, it was impossible for a second person to learn this movement technique.
However, the current Qin Shi had caused him to be even more shocked.
Seeing Su Tiao's surprise and anger, Qin Shi suddenly laughed.
Then, he made a self-movement and looked down at the ancient book that had been silent for many years on his waist.
Burning the book.
