As time passed, the competition was about to begin. Every camp was sending out some experts, and the battle between the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Prince was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.
According to the rules of the Sword-fighting Conference, every camp needed to send out three experts in the first round of the competition. A total of three experts would fight against each other.
Whoever killed all three experts in the opponent's camp first would be considered the winner.
In the Ninth Prince's camp, the two experts who were going to fight were naturally Ye Qing and the Fengqi Profound King. As for the other person, under the careful selection of the Ninth Prince, he sent out an old fellow at the peak of the first level of the Profound King, the Heavenly Mandate Profound King.
The Heavenly Mandate Profound King did not say anything. His expression was indifferent as he looked at Ye Qing with a trace of suspicion and disdain. It was obvious that he did not believe in Ye Qing's strength.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Mandate Profound King thought highly of the Fengqi Profound King. He hoped that he could use the Fengqi Profound King's lead to perform a little in the Sword-fighting Conference so that he wouldn't lose too badly.
As for the Seventh Prince's camp, all the experts came out. Under the Seventh Prince's selection, the Shadow Profound King appeared, as well as another expert, the Black Spear Profound King.
Legend has it that the Black Haired Profound King was a long spear that was constantly cultivated. He was not human, but something like a magic treasure.
However, with his continuous hard work and astonishing talent, he finally transformed into a human form. Now, he had the cultivation of the peak of the second level of the Profound King Realm.
Other than the Shadow Profound King and the Black Spear Profound King, there was also the White Bear Profound King under the Seventh Prince. The White Bear Profound King's original body was not human, but a white bear.
In terms of bloodline, the white bear's bloodline could only be considered below average.
His talent could barely be considered average. However, the White Bear Profound King had bitterly cultivated for a hundred and fifty thousand years. With his own efforts, he had also reached the second level of the Profound King Realm.
The White Bear Profound King was an extremely heaven-defying existence in terms of physical defense and attack power. Along with the Black Spear Profound King, they were both good at attacking.
As for the Shadow Profound King in the Seventh Prince's camp, he was good at sneak attacks and assassinations.
Last time, Ye Qing had encountered an assassination attempt by an inexplicable powerhouse. It was the Shadow Profound King.
On the Sword Discourse Arena, the Shadow Profound King, the Black Spear Profound King and the White Bear Profound King all descended.
And in the Ninth Prince's camp, Ye Qing, Fengqi Profound King, and Revelation Profound King slowly stepped out. They walked to the center of the Bright Sword Terrace, and stood facing each other.
When Ye Qing clearly saw the Shadow Profound King in the Seventh Prince's camp, his eyes instantly emitted a cold light. He still had a deep impression of the Shadow Profound King's assassination attempt last time.
Now that he saw the Shadow Profound King, how could he not be angry? Taking advantage of the Bright Sword Assembly, Ye Qing wanted to teach the Shadow Profound King a lesson.
According to the rules of the Sword-fighting Assembly, the first round of the competition was not a 3v3 battle royale. Instead, each round would select a contestant to fight against each other.
If he lost, he would naturally leave. If he won, he could continue fighting.
Ye Qing understood the rules of the game. He recalled a King of Fighters game he had played on the Blue Planet in his previous life. In the game, there were similar rules. If you won, you could keep fighting. If you lost, you could only leave with your tail between your legs.
On the Sword Discourse Arena, the referee gave the order, and the battle between the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince officially began.
First, both sides had to send out an expert. On the Seventh Prince's side, the Shadow Profound King appeared. Among the many Profound Kings under the Seventh Prince, the Shadow Profound King was one of the more outstanding ones. He could hold his own.
And in the Ninth Prince's camp, Fengqi Profound King was the most active. She took a step forward and prepared to fight.
However, just as Fengqi Profound King took a step forward, the old fellow beside him, the Revelation Profound King, stopped him.
The Revelation Profound King slowly said, "Fellow Fengqi, in this old man's opinion, you don't need to personally participate in the first battle.
Amongst the many Profound Kings, the Revelation Profound King could be considered one of the best. It was just that his cultivation was still unable to break through to the second level of the Profound King Realm. Compared to the other Profound Kings, he was slightly inferior.
In terms of battle strength, the Revelation Profound King was actually not weak. It was rumored that the Tianyu Profound King had the initiative.
Anticipating the enemy's moves and flaws before they make a move.
Thus, the Revelation Profound King was often in an invincible position. Even if he fought against an expert of the second level of the Profound King Realm, the Revelation Profound King had a very high chance of winning.
Fengqi Profound King originally wanted to make a move, but after hearing the Revelation Profound King's words, she frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she decided to temporarily give up and let the Revelation Profound King go first.
According to Fengqi Profound King's thoughts, if he let Ye Qing fight in the first battle, the possibility of failure would be extremely high. If he lost in the first battle, the blow to his morale would undoubtedly be very serious.
Thus, after Fengqi Profound King thought about it, he still decided to let the Revelation Profound King fight with the opponent's Shadow Profound King.
Not long after, the first battle between the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince's camp began. The Shadow Profound King's figure was like a ghost. His entire body was like a black shadow or a wisp of black smoke, as if he could merge into the eternal night.
His figure was unpredictable. He specialized in the Way of Assassination and always had a great advantage in one-on-one combat, especially in speed.
In terms of speed, an ordinary expert of the second level of the Profound King Realm might not be able to compete with the Shadow Profound King. In comparison, the Revelation Profound King was clearly weaker in all aspects.
However, the Revelation Profound King relied on his special ability to see through opportunities and still had the strength to fight. Although he was at a disadvantage, he could still barely fight.
Near the Sword Discourse Arena, there were many famous experts of the Sword Dynasty. They were discussing with each other and commenting on the many participants who were participating in the battle.
Among them, there were many civil and military officials of the Sword Dynasty in the VIP seats of the Sword Discourse Arena. They were all important figures of the Sword Dynasty.
One of the generals gave his own evaluation. He said that the chances of winning between the Revelation Profound King and the Revelation Profound King should be around seventy-three or eighty-two.
In any case, the crowd did not think highly of the Revelation Profound King.
Not long after, the battle began. The Shadow Profound King's figure suddenly disappeared from the void. When he reappeared in the next moment, he condensed a ghost claw and grabbed at the Revelation Profound King's throat.
The Revelation Profound King was shocked. He did not expect the Shadow Profound King's speed to be so fast. It was simply unimaginable. At the critical moment, just as the Shadow Profound King's sharp claws were about to cut the Revelation Profound King's throat, the Revelation Profound King's body bloomed with golden light. It was as if he had become a small golden man.
In the next moment, a small golden book floated above the Revelation Profound King's head. It was the Revelation Profound King's divine implement, the Golden Heavenly Book.
This Golden Heavenly Book was, in fact, only a fifth-grade divine implement. It had not reached the level of a sixth-grade divine implement. However, in terms of defensive power, the Golden Heavenly Book could be said to be very heaven-defying. Under the support of the Golden Heavenly Book, the Revelation Profound King's body bloomed with golden light. His defensive power increased by at least three times. Moreover, the effects of the Golden Heavenly Book were far more than that.
