"The rules of the points competition are very simple."
A disciple from the sect in charge of hosting said coldly: "Choose your own opponent, regardless of the means. The winner will get all the points of the loser, and the top 100 points can enter the three major sects."
The rules are simple, but the difficulty is not small.
And regardless of the means, it means that there may be casualties.
This is also the consistent style of the three major sects.
Fang Chen and Di Yun stepped onto the bluestone arena, and the surrounding testers instantly became excited and gathered around the arena, looking forward to this competition.
The elders on the high platform also noticed the movement here, and focused their eyes on the ring, wanting to see the strength of these two people.
Di Yun held a long sword, assumed a fighting posture, and said to Fang Chen: "Fang Chen, I advise you to admit defeat, lest you be stepped on by me later, which will not look good."
Although his soul has not fully recovered, it has improved a lot after being treated with the Concentrating Pill. Moreover, after fighting the man in black, he became more proficient in controlling spiritual power and gained a lot of combat experience.
He focused his mental power on the bone-clawed cat demon. Although the cat demon could not come on stage to help, he could be ready to respond to emergencies off the stage at any time.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's get started!"
Fang Chen shouted coldly and took the lead in attacking. He was holding a sword and his body was like an arrow, stabbing towards Di Yun. The sword struck Di Yun's chest with a sharp sound.
Di Yun did not expect that Fang Chen would dare to attack. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered and waved his sword to block.
With a "clang" sound, the two swords collided. Fang Chen felt his arms go numb. Di Yun's strength was stronger than he imagined.
Di Yun seized the opportunity and struck Fang Chen in the waist with a backhand sword.
Fang Chen was frightened and quickly dodged sideways. At the same time, he held his sword in front of him to block Di Yun's attack.
The two of them were going back and forth in the ring, their sword shadows intertwined, and the battle was extremely fierce.
The surrounding trialists were dazzled and exclaimed from time to time.
Chi Ling'er stood under the stage, nervously looking at Fang Chen on the stage, clasping his hands tightly together, muttering to himself: "Fang Chen, come on, you will definitely win!"
The man with sharp eyesight had a solemn expression, carefully observing the moves of the two, nodding from time to time, as if analyzing the strength gap between the two.
The battle lasted for half an hour. Fang Chen gradually felt exhausted. The sequelae of overdraft began to appear and his head ached.
Di Yun also felt uncomfortable. Although his cultivation level was higher than Fang Chen's, Fang Chen's moves were flexible and extremely tough. No matter how he attacked, he could not completely defeat Fang Chen.
Di Yun gradually became anxious. He knew that procrastinating like this would be detrimental to him and the battle must be ended as soon as possible.
Di Yun took a deep breath and poured all the spiritual power in his body into the long sword. The sword body emitted a faint golden light.
He shouted at Fang Chen: "Fang Chen, follow my move - Golden Light Slash!"
After saying that, he swung his long sword, and a golden sword aura struck at Fang Chen. The sword aura was so powerful that it tore the air apart.
Fang Chen's pupils shrank suddenly. He could feel that the power of this sword energy was extraordinary. If he was hit, he would be seriously injured.
He did not panic, but remembered the defensive moves recorded in the "Yin Yang Creation Sutra".
Hence he injected his spiritual power into the sword, and at the same time mobilized the power of the jade talisman on his chest. The jade talisman emitted a faint white light, echoing the spiritual power of the sword.
Fang Chen held the sword tightly with both hands and blocked the sword in front of him, forming a white defensive barrier.
"Dang——" The golden sword energy collided with the white defensive barrier, making a deafening sound.
Fang Chen was so shocked that he stepped back repeatedly, his feet leaving two deep marks on the ring, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. But he did not fall down, but gritted his teeth and persisted in blocking Di Yun's attack.
Di Yun's eyes were full of shock and disbelief when he saw that his special move was blocked by Fang Chen.
He never expected that Fang Chen, whose cultivation level was not as good as his own, could actually receive his Golden Light Slash. At the moment when Di Yun was stunned, Fang Chen seized the opportunity and came to Di Yun in a flash, pointing his sword directly at Di Yun's throat.
「You lost.」
Fang Chen's voice was cold, with a hint of exhaustion, but extremely firm.
Di Yun looked at the tip of the sword very close to him, feeling the threat of death. Not only was he not afraid, but he showed a ferocious smile: "Lost? Even if I lose, I, Di Yun, will support you!"
With that said, he suddenly activated the remaining spiritual power in his body, wanting to explode his dantian and die together with Fang Chen.
Fang Chen's eyes flashed coldly, he would never give Di Yun a chance to die together.
Just when Di Yun's spiritual power was about to explode, Fang Chen turned his wrist and pierced Di Yun's heart with his sword without hesitation.
"Pfft", blood spurted out, Di Yun's body froze in place, the ferociousness in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by endless fear and unwillingness, and then he fell heavily on the ring, his breath completely dissipated.
The surrounding trialists fell silent for an instant.
Di Yun is dead!
He is from Jade Dragon!
Chi Ling'er rushed to the edge of the ring and looked at Fang Chen worriedly: "Fang Chen, are you okay? It was too dangerous just now!"
Fang Chen shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, an angry voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Fang Chen! How dare you fight me!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man wearing Qingmumen clothing walking quickly.
That young man was tall and tall, with a gloomy face, and his whole body exuded the fifth level of spiritual energy fluctuations in the Tongmai Realm. He was Shi Bin, Shi Li's cousin who had been escaped by Fang Chen before.
Shi Bin was defeated by Fang Chen yesterday and has always held a grudge.
In just one day, his strength seems to have improved further, becoming even stronger than yesterday.
Seeing Fang Chen kill Di Yun, Shi Bin could no longer hold back and challenged Fang Chen.
Shi Bin jumped onto the ring and stared at Fang Chen fiercely: "Fang Chen, you killed Di Yun. Today I, Shi Bin, will definitely take your life to avenge my brother's death! Do you dare to compete with me again?"
The testers around him again Everyone was excited, and they all started talking: "Shi Bin has broken through to the fifth level of Tongmai Realm! Fang Chen has just killed Di Yun, and his physical and spiritual energy have been consumed a lot. I'm afraid it will be more difficult this time!"
Mo Ying frowned and whispered to Fang Chen: "Shi Bin has just broken through and is full of spiritual energy. You are not in good condition now. It is not appropriate to fight with him. It is better to admit defeat first and wait until you recover before making plans." "
After saying that, he clenched his sword and said coldly to Shi Bin: "I accept your challenge! But you must remember that you are responsible for life and death in the arena. If you lose, don't blame my men for being ruthless!"
Shi Bin laughed loudly, his eyes full of disdain: "He is ruthless? Do you think you, a waste at the second level of Tongmai Realm, are worthy of saying this? Today I will let you know what the strength gap is!"
After saying that, he pulled out the long knife from his waist and mobilized the spiritual power in his body. The long knife emitted a thick black mist, carrying a cold breath, and slashed towards Fang Chen.
Fang Chen did not dare to be careless, and used the skills of the "Yin Yang Creation Sutra" to the extreme, and at the same time mobilized the power of the jade talisman on his chest again.
His body flexibly dodged Shi Bin's attacks, looking for opportunities to counterattack. Shi Bin's sword skills were more ruthless than Di Yun's, and each sword carried strong power, forcing Fang Chen to retreat continuously, creating dangers everywhere.
The battle lasted for a stick of incense. Fang Chen's physical and spiritual energy was greatly consumed. He had several more wounds on his body and his clothes were dyed red with blood.
But he did not give up. Instead, he continued to comprehend the mysteries of the "Yin Yang Creation Sutra" during the battle, and became more and more proficient in controlling spiritual power.
Seeing that Shi Bin could not attack for a long time, he became more and more anxious. He shouted: "Fang Chen, take my move - Black Wind Slash!"
After saying that, he poured all the spiritual power in his body into the long knife, and the black mist condensed into a huge knife shadow and slashed towards Fang Chen.
The power of this sword was several times stronger than Di Yun's Golden Light Slash, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, making a "sizzling" sound.
Fang Chen took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
He completely integrated the power of the jade talisman with his own spiritual power. The sword emitted a dazzling white light, forming a huge sword shadow that collided with Shi Bin's sword shadow.
There was a loud "boom", the arena shook violently, gravel flew, and the surrounding trialists retreated to avoid being affected.
The smoke and dust dispersed, and Fang Chen was seen holding a sword and standing steadily on the ring. Although his face was pale and his breath was disordered, his eyes were still firm. Shi Bin fell under the ring, his sword dropped to the side, there was a deep sword wound on his chest, and blood kept pouring out. He was obviously defeated.
Shi Bin was lying on the ground, looking at Fang Chen on the ring, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment. He never expected that after he broke through to the fifth level of Tongmai Realm, he would still lose to Fang Chen.
"I am not willing to give in! I am not willing to give in!"
Shi Bin roared and suddenly took out a black jade talisman from his arms.
This jade talisman is a treasure that Shi Bin got by chance. It contains powerful energy. It was originally his trump card to deal with life and death crises. Now that he was defeated by Fang Chen, he was unwilling to accept it and decided to use this jade talisman to kill Fang Chen even if they both died.
Shi Bin injected the remaining spiritual power in his body into the jade talisman. The jade talisman instantly emitted a rich black light, and a terrifying energy wave spread.
"Fang Chen, even if I die, I will drag you along with me!"
Shi Bin yelled crazily and threw the jade talisman towards Fang Chen.
Fang Chen felt a chill in his heart. He could feel that the energy contained in the jade talisman was extremely terrifying. If he was hit, he would be shattered to pieces.
He wanted to dodge, but found that his body was restrained by an invisible force and he could not move at all. Chi Ling'er and Mo Ying also sensed the danger and wanted to step forward to help, but were shaken away by energy waves.
Just when the jade talisman was about to hit Fang Chen, the energy in the jade talisman suddenly lost control and erupted with a terrifying force far beyond Shi Bin's expectation.
There was a loud "boom", and the land for miles around shook violently. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth violently rioted, forming huge whirlpools of spiritual energy, converging in the direction of the arena.
The power of the aura vortex is extremely powerful, exposing everything hidden in the valley.
I saw the soul bottle that had previously collected the remnant souls being rolled out from a hidden corner. The body of the bottle was shaking violently, and the runes on the surface shone with a strange red light. The remnant souls inside seemed to be breaking free, and let out a shrill roar.
At this moment, three black shadows suddenly appeared from three corners of the valley.
They were three old men in black robes. Their faces were withered, their eyes were shining with a strange red light, and they exuded a gloomy aura.
These three old men in black robes are the masterminds behind the collection of remnant souls. They have been waiting for the opportunity to activate the blood sacrifice array that has been arranged.
The three black-robed old men saw a trace of excitement flashing in their eyes when the soul bottle was exposed.
The leader of the black-robed old man sneered: "I didn't expect Shi Bin, a loser, to help us start the plan in advance. In this case, don't waste time and activate the blood sacrifice formation!"
The other two black-robed old men nodded and formed seals with the leader of the black-robed old man. They were mumbling words, the seals in their hands were constantly changing, and black runes flew out of their hands and landed in every corner of the valley. As the runes were activated, black pillars of light suddenly rose in the valley, shrouding the entire valley.
The black light pillar contains a strong smell of blood. The blood on the ground is attracted by the light pillar and gathers into blood lines, flowing towards the soul bottle in the center of the valley. The remnant soul in the soul bottle felt the smell of blood, became more violent, and let out an even more shrill roar.
“The blood sacrifice formation, start!” The old man in black robes who led the group shouted loudly, and the seal in his hand suddenly changed.
In an instant, the black light pillar burst out with dazzling red light, and a terrifying suction force came from the formation, sucking all the spiritual energy, blood and remaining souls in the valley into the formation.
The surrounding trialists and the elders on the high platform were all stunned by the scene in front of them. They had never seen such a strange and terrifying formation.
"No! This is the blood sacrifice formation! They want to use blood sacrifice to improve their strength, stop them!"
An elder reacted, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the three black-robed old men at the same time.
Other elders and trialists also reacted and wanted to step forward to stop the three black-robed old men. But the Blood Sacrifice Formation has been activated, forming a powerful defensive barrier to keep them out. The three old men in black robes sneered and continued to activate the formation. The bloody smell in the valley became more and more intense, and the riots in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became more and more intense. A huge crisis was quietly coming.
Fang Chen stood on the ring, feeling the terrifying power of the blood sacrifice formation, and his heart was filled with solemnity. He knew that if the three black-robed old men successfully activated the blood sacrifice formation, the consequences would be disastrous. He must find a way to stop them, no matter how high the price is.
