Chapter 91: The Power of the Divine Sword (Part 1)

  The fourth watch has arrived

  ——————————————————————

  Seven young disciples entered the fifth round, one of whom drew a bye. The other six were paired off against each other, with the winners joining the bye to make up the final four.

  Ying Chengzi's lineage had five people enter the fourth round, but only Yi Feng was able to make it into the top four. The other three were: Zhendong Yu, a early-stage disciple of the sect leader; Yunfeng, the sect leader's granddaughter; and Qingmufeng, a disciple of Ying Lingzi.

  Ying Lingzi was Ying Chengzi's second senior brother, who had given him the two-thousand-year-old Huoyun Teng many years ago.

  This time, Yi Feng happens to be paired against Qing Mu Feng, while Zhen Fang Yu is paired against Yun Feng.

  Qing Mu Feng himself had been cultivating in the late stage of Jindan for many years, with a profound and unmatched strength. It was said that he already showed signs of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. With a mid-grade spiritual sword and a low-grade spiritual armor that provided decent defense, he easily won every battle, never revealing his true abilities.

  Before the semi-finals began, Ying Zicheng had already fulfilled his promise and gave Yi Feng that piece of two-thousand-year-old Huoyun Teng.

  However, Yi Feng did not dare to implant the Huo Yun Teng into his body to form a fire-based spiritual root. Firstly, he didn't have the opportunity, as Xing Chenzi and Ying Chengzi were guarding him closely every day, fearing that this genius would be killed off like a precautionary measure; secondly, because once the Huo Yun Teng was implanted into his body, many masters would come to watch the competition, and it might expose the fact that he had two spiritual roots, at which point he wouldn't be able to find an appropriate excuse to explain.

  Huoyun Teng is already in hand, and as for the champion Yi Feng, he doesn't particularly yearn for it. Moreover, even with his current strength, whether it's Yuan Ying's initial stage Zhen Fang Yu or the extremely well-equipped Yun Shuang, he wouldn't be afraid of them one bit. Not to mention, Yi Feng has a ten-out-of-ten guarantee of defeating Qingmu Feng, and at least the runner-up position is stable.

  Entering the top four, Xingchenzi was already very pleased. Although he only got fourth place, it should be considered as repaying Xingchenzi's kindness. After all, if it weren't for Xingchenzi, Yi Feng might not have returned to Yunfuzong after leaving the Extreme East Sea Region.

  The game is on schedule.

  Such an important match would naturally not be held at the same time, Yi Feng and Qing Mu Feng's first match, while Zhen Fang Yu and Yun Shuang's duel was scheduled for the next day.

  The competition has not yet begun, and it seems that in order to inspire the four strong players' morale, the sect actually took out the prizes for the top three places one by one to showcase and introduce them. The high-quality spiritual equipment-level treasures were full of praise, making people's hearts move with excitement.

  Even the materials for third place are treasures!

  Apart from Yi Feng and Yun Xiao, the other two people's eyes revealed a scorching greed, after all, top-grade spiritual equipment was something that even their masters didn't possess, and only some of the highest-ranking experts in the sect would have one or two pieces.

  Then came a lengthy exhortation to the four strong contestants, which almost put people to sleep before the match officially began.

  When...

  The familiar bell rings again, with only two people on stage and a sea of waving sleeves below.

  The two of them exchanged polite greetings, which was unavoidable, and then simultaneously stood up. Yi Feng grasped the Chi Yan Ling Sword, while Qing Mu Feng grasped his mid-grade spirit sword.

  Qing Mu Feng had also made inquiries about Yi Feng before the match, knowing that Yi Feng's methods were extraordinary and his swordsmanship was very strong. So as soon as he came up, he didn't wait for Yi Feng to make a move, and launched a surprise attack!
