Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Everyone could feel the intent of the blade gathering in Yagyu Kai's hand.

That sword trembled gently, occasionally flowing with probabilistic divine runes.

As Yagyu Kai's aura continued to rise, the intent of the blade became increasingly terrifying.

Clearly, Yagyu Kai was using an apotheosis-type secret technique, intending to display his strongest state from the outset.

Wu Xu smiled faintly.

He was slender, over eight chi tall, wearing a sea-blue battle robe, with thick black hair scattered and flying in the wind.

"The world says that the Yagyu family's swords are as fast as lightning. Today, I will use the Overlord Spear to meet your Yagyu family's Hidden Kill Sword Technique!"

As Wu Xu's voice fell, he stretched out his right hand, palm open. With a flash of light, a spear over two meters long appeared in his hand.

This battle spear was relatively thick, and looked very heavy. Runes were engraved on the spear shaft, and the light of the runes flowed on the spear shaft, flickering on and off.

His aura was also rising.

Since the opponent was using an apotheosis-type secret technique, he naturally had to use it as well, otherwise he would inevitably suffer.

Both sides were ready, prepared to attack each other, waiting only for the bell of order to ring.

Soon, the bell of order rang throughout the arena with a 'dong' sound.

Wu Xu and Yagyu Kai, who were already prepared for battle, charged towards each other at the same time.

One wielding a battle sword, the other wielding an Overlord Battle Spear.

During the charge, Yagyu Kai's body suddenly flashed, and he disappeared from the spot.

In an instant, his figure reappeared, actually appearing in front of Wu Xu. The battle sword slashed down, drawing a cold, sharp blade, and chopped towards Wu Xu's head.

Wu Xu reacted quickly, instantly retracting the Overlord Battle Spear in his hand and striking sideways.

With a 'clang' sound, the sword and spear collided, erupting with ear-piercing metal afterimages, and sparks flew in all directions.

The Overlord Battle Spear was full of force, shaking away Yagyu Kai's battle sword, and the killing divine runes condensed on the spear and sword bodies both collapsed.

At the same time, Wu Xu's Overlord Battle Spear's hilt end flicked forward, directly striking Yagyu Kai's lower jaw.

Yagyu Kai retreated violently, his figure instantly disappearing, and almost simultaneously reappearing behind Wu Xu. His entire body soared into the air, and he slashed down from behind with his battle sword.

Wu Xu's expression was cold, and he struck the Overlord Battle Spear backward. The upper half of the spear shaft bent, and the spear tip struck the battle sword with a 'clang' sound.

Since Yagyu Kai's body was in a soaring posture and had nowhere to borrow strength.

This strike, the domineering force directly shook him back more than ten meters, and he staggered backward after landing.

During this process, Wu Xu suddenly turned around, the Overlord Battle Spear stabbing forward, the spear shaft spinning at high speed in his hand like a spiral, instantly killing in front of Yagyu Kai.

Seeing that Yagyu Kai was about to be stabbed, his body disappeared again in place.

… …

Countless eyes were nervously watching the wonderful battle on the duel stage.

Yagyu Kai's Hidden Kill Slash was strange and unpredictable, each attack as fast as lightning, catching people off guard.

Wu Xu remained calm and composed, and each time he seemed to be able to predict the future, blocking his Hidden Kill Sword Technique and slightly gaining the upper hand.

"Master, Wu Xu should be sure to win this round, right?"

Hua Qi stared at the battle on the stage and expressed his opinion.

"Winning is definitely possible, but Wu Xu's consumption will be very high.

The Wu Sect follows the path of strength and ferocity, each strike powerful and heavy.

The Yagyu family is the opposite, their cultivation methods and secret techniques are strange and unpredictable, with instant stealth and rapid attacks as their strengths.

Wu Xu's strength is slightly stronger than Yagyu Kai's, but it is difficult to defeat him in a short time.

This is a war of attrition.

Qi'er, watch carefully and ponder the characteristics and combat routines of the Yagyu family's techniques.

When facing the Hidden Kill Sword Technique, the most important thing is not how fast your eyes are, especially in a situation where the strength is evenly matched. Only by relying on the capture of the killing aura and the instantaneous perception of the divine sense can you effectively crack the opponent's offensive."

"Disciple understands. The disciple does not understand, why did the Wu Sect let the strongest Wu Xu take the stage at the beginning? Does he have the confidence to defeat the strongest of the Lin family and the Yagyu family? Is he not afraid of being challenged by them?"

"It doesn't matter who the Yagyu family sends to the stage. What's important is to let you take a good look at the Yagyu family's combat routines.

The strongest of the Yagyu family's participants is the Young Master Yagyu.

He is in the Half-Step True God Realm, and his overall strength is no weaker than yours."

"This disciple will definitely live up to Master's expectations!"

Hua Qi clenched his fists, looked towards the Yagyu family, and fixed his gaze on the Young Master Yagyu.

An hour later, the balance of victory on the duel stage became more and more obvious.

Yagyu Kai was about to be completely suppressed.

His energy, spirit, and spirit were being consumed more seriously than Wu Xu's, and he was already in a precarious situation.

At this time, Yagyu Kai secretly refined a Qi-sustaining pill, which instantly restored a lot of his true energy.

Wu Xu felt the change in his opponent, and guessed in his heart that the opponent must have secretly used some special resources, otherwise it would be impossible for his true energy to suddenly recover so much.

His eyes were cold, and the divine runes of the Overlord Battle Spear in his hand were blazing.

He decided to decide the outcome as soon as possible, and not give Yagyu Kai a chance to breathe.

Otherwise, the battle would be prolonged again, and his consumption would be greater.

"Sect Leader Wu, tell Wu Xu not to be impatient, and slowly drag out the fight. It's best to drag it out until dark before deciding the outcome."

Jun Wuxie secretly gave the order to Sect Leader Wu with his divine sense.

"Yes, Master."

Sect Leader Wu immediately transmitted the sound to Wu Xu on the duel stage.

Wu Xu was stunned in his heart, wondering why the sect leader wanted him to delay.

It was clear that the battle time could be shortened.

If the outcome were dragged out until dark, his consumption would be very large.

At that time, if the Young Master of the Yagyu family came to the stage to launch a challenge, then their Wu Sect would probably be eliminated several people in a row!

"Do not doubt this Sect Leader's decision, just do it."

Seeing that Wu Xu's eyes seemed to have hesitation and incomprehension, Sect Leader Wu immediately added.

Wu Xu had no choice but to do as he was told.

He continued to maintain his previous offensive and fought fiercely with Yagyu Kai.

The battle on the duel stage had always been fierce, and people's minds had always been kept tense.

It was not until dusk.

The effect of Yagyu Kai's pill disappeared.

Although Wu Xu's true energy was also greatly consumed, Yagyu Kai was the same.

The technique cultivated by the Wu Sect made Wu Xu's physical body much stronger than Yagyu Kai's.

After fighting fiercely until now, the effect of the pill disappeared, and Yagyu Kai felt particularly tired.

This made him quickly fall into a disadvantage and gradually be suppressed by Wu Xu.

The setting sun was in the west, and the last ray of sunlight at dusk also disappeared between heaven and earth.

Day left, and night came.

"Yagyu Kai's performance has exceeded this Clan Leader's expectations.

Very good, that Wu Xu's energy, spirit, and spirit have been greatly depleted, and he will not be able to continue fighting on stage in a short time.

Tuo'er, it's up to you next, try to eliminate all the remaining four participants of the Wu Sect!

In this way, by tomorrow, we will clean up the Lin family again!"

Clan Leader Yagyu had an expression of confidence on his face, with a hint of smug smile in his eyes.

Dang!

On the duel stage, the Overlord Battle Spear heavily struck the battle sword that Yagyu Kai was blocking in front of him.

The power of this strike was a strike that Wu Xu had condensed his divine rune true energy in advance, with great force and heavy force.

Immediately, Yagyu Kai only felt a huge force surge towards him.

The battle sword he was blocking was directly bent deeply in the middle by the strike, and the blade was close to his chest.

That great force was transmitted through the blade to his body, which was almost empty of true energy.

Lacking the protection of true energy, his internal organs suffered a violent impact, and his internal organs seemed to have shifted.

His feet slid backward more than ten meters along the ground of the duel stage, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat and spurted out.

Almost at the same time, Wu Xu held his spear and killed him.

Yagyu Kai's pupils shrank, he stepped on the ground with his feet, his body flew backward, and at the same time he held his sword to block.

Dang, there was another metallic tremor.

The Overlord Battle Spear was originally stabbed towards Yagyu Kai's throat, but it was blocked by his battle sword.

Yagyu Kai was once again shaken and spat out blood.

Taking advantage of the striking force of the Overlord Battle Spear, Yagyu Kai flew backwards all the way out of the range of the duel stage and landed off the stage.

Wu Xu, who was closely following with his spear, suddenly stopped at the edge of the duel stage, looking coldly at Yagyu Kai, who was pale and his mouth was full of blood, off the stage.

Because the opponent used special pills, he had murderous intentions.

He wanted to kill Yagyu Kai, but he failed, and was blocked by the opponent's weapon and took advantage of the situation to withdraw from the duel stage.

Hua!

The silent arena, the people who were originally quiet and nervously paying attention to the duel, suddenly became noisy.

"Yagyu Kai was still defeated. I didn't expect him to be able to fight fiercely with Wu Xu for so long.

How can the people of the Yagyu family have such long true energy!"

"Because of the Wu Sect's cultivation method, their attack power is strong and heavy, so they have stronger endurance.

I didn't expect the Yagyu family to be so good in this regard!"

"Yagyu Kai is already so strong, you can imagine how strong the Young Master Yagyu must be.

If he were to take the stage this time, Wu Xu would probably have been defeated long ago."

"It seems that we have all underestimated the Young Master Yagyu.

It is said that he is the third strongest young generation, not as good as the strongest geniuses of the Wu Sect and the Lin family, and slightly inferior.

Now it seems that it is not the case at all.

That Young Master Yagyu is probably the number one!"

… …

People were talking about it. After seeing Yagyu Kai's skills, they couldn't help but think of the Yagyu family's strongest young genius, Young Master Yagyu.

In people's words, there were all praises for Young Master Yagyu, and they felt that he was probably the real number one!

"The first match of the Tianci Battle Pingnan County-level competition, Wu Xu, a participant of the Wu Sect, wins and gets one point."

On the Tianci Temple, the voice of the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao resounded throughout the world, ethereal and majestic, yet very pleasant to hear.

"Wu Xu, Wu Xu, we will always support you, you are the best!"

… …

From the crowd, someone raised their arms and shouted, mostly ardent fans of Wu Xu, predominantly women, who had always idolized him, and some even secretly admired him.

In a large force like the Wu Clan, one of the hegemons of the county, and with Wu Xu being the strongest of the younger generation, possessing both background, strength, and status, it was only natural for him to have many infatuated female admirers.

Young girls, young women, even older women, a considerable number were obsessed with Wu Xu.

Wu Xu dragged his weary body off the duel stage.

Just as his feet left the duel stage, from the side of the Liusheng family, the young master Liusheng leaped onto the stage in a few bounds.

The gazes of the crowd immediately shifted from Wu Xu to the young master Liusheng.

“I, Liusheng Tuo, young master of the Liusheng family—”

The young master Liusheng drew out his voice, his gaze sweeping across the participating forces, quickly landing on the location of the Wu Clan, "Issue a challenge… to the Wu Clan participants…"

“Dong—”

Before the young master Liusheng could finish speaking, the bell of the Heavenly Dao Order chimed, immediately causing everyone to look up.

At this moment, the voice of the Heavenly Dao Avatar sounded: "The hour is late today, the duels are over. All participants, rest where you are, and fight again tomorrow at Chen time."

Instantly, the spirited expression on the young master Liusheng's face froze, his lips trembled, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Liusheng family head and the elders trembled all over, their lips quivering for a long time, but they couldn't utter a single word.

How could this be?

Before the competition, the Heavenly Dao Avatar had not said that challenges were not allowed at night.

As a result, all their plans had been disrupted.

With a night of rest, wouldn't that Wu Xu be able to recover to his peak?

Wasn't their second strongest participant, Liusheng Jie, eliminated in vain?

For the Liusheng family, this was simply terrible news!

“Liusheng family head, this sect master sees that your complexion doesn't seem too good.

It's just a matter of winning or losing a match, why be so concerned? Just win it back tomorrow,”

The Wu Clan master said with a smile.

The Liusheng family head and others had livid faces, staring at the Wu Clan master, a flash of cold light passing through their eyes, and they coldly snorted.

At this time, Jun Wuxie and the others were eating grilled meat and drinking wine, enjoying themselves immensely.

Without even looking, he knew that the people of the Liusheng family must have livid faces, feeling so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.

The Heavenly Gift Battle was organized by his woman.

How could they possibly compete with him under the rules set by his woman?

The young master Liusheng, with a dark face, came down from the duel stage and returned to the Liusheng family's group, not saying a word, a flash of sinister color occasionally flickering in his eyes.

“Qi'er, what did you gain today?”

Jun Wuxie asked Hua Qi while drinking the wine that Jing Ya's clone was feeding him.

“Reporting to Master, purely in terms of fighting against the Liusheng family's participants, this disciple has gained a lot.”

“Very good. In that case, tomorrow you will go on stage and fight the young master Liusheng.

Eliminate the Liusheng family early, so that other forces have a chance to enter the top sixteen.

As for the Lin family and the Wu Clan, you are not to challenge them.”

“Ah? Master, why is that?”

“The Lin family and the Wu Clan are my people. Otherwise, why do you think Wu Xu would have challenged the Liusheng family? How would you have had the opportunity to see the second youngest expert of the Liusheng family fight a grueling battle.”

“This…”

Hua Qi was stunned, his face full of shock, unable to speak for a long time.

When did the Lin family and the Wu Clan become Master's people?

Could it be during those two days when I was in closed-door cultivation?

Master is truly too powerful, he actually subdued the two hegemonic forces of Pingnan County just like that!

At this moment, in a certain area of the arena, there was a second-rate force, their elders and participants quietly watching the Wu Clan, the Lin family, and Xinghua Village.

In the depths of their eyes, a hint of coldness occasionally flashed.

The Liusheng family's participants were very strong, but they were successfully tricked by the Lin family and the Wu Clan, and their second strongest expert was eliminated in the first match.

“The Liusheng family still wants to compete for the first prize, they truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

The first prize, no one but us can take it away.”

The head of that second-rate force sneered inwardly, a confident smile on his face.

The world thought they were a second-rate force, but they didn't know their true strength at all.

If it weren't for the special mission given by those above, why would they have come to this place.

“Family head.”

At this time, a middle-aged man quietly came to the side of the family head of this second-rate force, and whispered something in his ear.

A flash of cold light passed through the family head's eyes, "Are you sure the information is accurate?"

“Reporting to the family head, there is absolutely no mistake, the information is accurate. The day before yesterday, the garrison commander led people disguised into the Tianyi Sect's sect, and joined forces with the experts of the Lin family and the Wu Clan to open the treasure trove.

However, they left after the treasure trove was opened.”

“Hmm, this family head thought, the Tianyi Sect was destroyed, the treasure trove resources are abundant, how could the garrison not have taken action.

So it turns out they secretly concealed their identities and colluded with the Lin family and the Wu Clan, secretly dividing the Tianyi Sect's treasure trove resources.

To this day, the garrison commander has not reported this matter.

By the way, has the information on that Jun Wuxie been found?”

“No, his origins are unknown.

He came from Pingsha Ancient Town, and Pingsha Ancient Town is far away from the county seat, our people are on their way to Pingsha Ancient Town, it will take some time.”

“The garrison commander harbors selfish intentions, privately appropriating massive resources, he wants to betray the Lanling Royal Mansion!

You immediately send the news to the prefecture city, and send the news about Jun Wuxie to the prefecture city together!”

“Yes!”

The middle-aged man took two steps back, turned and left.
