Chapter 3696 Five Battles, Five Victories
The first battle has ended.
Lian Qianchou only had a brief moment to catch his breath before immediately starting the second match.
The opponent in the second match.
It was Xiao Yangzi of the Void Sword Sect.
The other party, like Jiang Hanfeng, was a Third Tribulation Half-Saint.
As the duel began, Xiao Yangzi immediately made his move, and in an instant, sword energy poured down like a waterfall, like a storm, towards Lian Qianchou.
Both are semi-saints who seek immortality through swordsmanship.
Xiao Yangzi's swordsmanship is completely different from Jiang Hanfeng's.
The latter's swordsmanship is like a vast, endless galaxy, while Xiao Yangzi's swordsmanship is strange and unpredictable, with an ethereal and elusive force that is difficult to grasp.
A terrifying Daoist aura swept across the sky, evolving into countless sword energies that swept in all directions. The various sword energies were both real and illusory, making them impossible to distinguish.
However, Lian Qianchou was a half-saint at the same level of the Third Tribulation, and his cultivation was no less than Xiao Yangzi's.
Although he had already gone through a battle and was even injured by Jiang Hanfeng, the consumption and injuries were nothing to a half-saint.
All the cultivators were focused on the battle in the void, not daring to be distracted.
The cultivators from the Void Sword Sect and the Poison King Holy Land, in particular, looked grim.
The outcome of this battle will determine the share of the Longevity Immortal Mine for both sides, so it cannot be taken lightly.
Compared to Li Chenyuan.
Su Gu's expression became much more solemn.
Because Lian Qianchou had already lost the first match, he was bound to lose the next one against Xuanji Immortal Sect, so this battle was naturally crucial.
If they lose the second battle as well, the Poison King's Holy Land will suffer significant losses in the first round.
Even if they win the third and fourth battles, the Poison King's Holy Land will still lose a share.
If they lose all their shares, they will lose three shares.
There are only thirty shares in a transaction. If three shares are lost at once, the loss will naturally be significant.
If other cultivators within the Holy Land suffer a few more defeats, the losses to the Poison King Holy Land will be even greater.
but--
As the battle raged on, black energy suddenly surged from Xiao Yangzi's face, his Daoist aura dissipated, and his immortal body gradually rotted away, causing his expression to change drastically in an instant.
"not good!!"
In an instant, Xiao Yangzi realized that he had been poisoned without his knowledge.
He was careful enough, but he still got infected.
At this moment, a strange and deadly poison was corroding him, causing his immortal power to dissipate and the power of the Great Dao to seem to be decaying and dying, which naturally horrified Xiao Yangzi.
But at this moment, Lian Qianchou seized the opportunity and directly unleashed a celestial seal, which descended upon Xiao Yangzi to suppress him.
The latter barely managed to defend himself, but the terrifying power within the Immortal Seal erupted, causing Xiao Yangzi's tiger's mouth to split open, and a large amount of blood flowed down the wound.
Seeing that Lian Qianchou was about to press his advantage, Xiao Yangzi hurriedly said, "I concede defeat!"
The words were spoken in an instant.
With a flick of his sleeve, Li Chenyuan unleashed a mysterious Daoist power that swept Xiao Yangzi back into the Void Sword Sect's camp. Then, with a flick of his finger, a celestial pill appeared out of thin air.
Without a second thought, Xiao Yangzi immediately swallowed the elixir and refined it, then closed his eyes and remained silent.
Li Chenyuan's face darkened slightly, and a murderous intent seemed to emerge in his eyes as he looked at Lian Qianchou: "What a Poison King's Holy Land! Such methods of using poison are indeed divine. In this battle, my Void Sword Sect has lost!"
"You're too kind!"
Su Gu smiled calmly, clearly in a good mood because Lian Qianchou had won a match.
If you win one game and lose another, then it's the same as neither winning nor losing.
If Lian Qianchou wins one more match in the next two games, then the first round will be a sure thing.
Even if we lose, it's only a loss of one share at most.
To put it another way...
If we lose both matches, including the one against Venerable Luo Tian, we'll still lose three shares, which is much better than the worst-case scenario of losing five shares.
……
The Void Sword Sect was defeated.
Following closely behind were the cultivators from the Li Huo Dao Sect.
The half-saint who appeared this time was also at the third tribulation level.
But this battle.
Ultimately, the Li Huo Dao Sect prevailed.
Lian Qianchou was one move off guard and suffered a crushing defeat.
Seeing this, Su Gu's smile faded somewhat.
When Lian Qianchou was defeated again in the battle against the Forgetful Immortal Sect, the smile on Su Gu's face disappeared completely.
Although he had anticipated this situation and was prepared to lose three shares, Su Gu still felt dissatisfied when it actually came to this.
soon.
The final match of the first round has arrived.
Facing a half-saint like Venerable Luo Tian, Lian Qianchou immediately conceded defeat before the battle even began, fearing that if he was even half a step slower, he would perish.
This is no joke.
If an Eighth Tribulation Half-Saint were to go all out, it would be absolutely beyond my ability to contend with.
Moreover, the Poison King Holy Land and the Xuanji Immortal Sect have a long-standing feud, and the two major forces are constantly clashing with each other. As for whether Venerable Luo Tian would seize this opportunity to kill him, Lian Qianchou naturally dared not gamble.
This is the end.
In the first round, the Poison King's Holy Land was the first to be eliminated.
Five battles, four losses and one win, resulting in a loss of three shares.
Followed by.
Then it was the turn of Jiang Hanfeng from the Lingxi Sword Sect, ranked second, to reappear. His opponent was Xiao Yangzi from the Void Sword Sect.
The clash between two half-saints of swordsmanship was an astonishing spectacle.
But alas.
Xiao Yangzi was poisoned and suffered injuries. Even though he took a magic pill to treat him immediately, he could hardly recover much.
therefore.
This battle lasted a long time and ultimately ended in Xiao Yangzi's defeat.
Seeing this scene.
Li Chenyuan's expression grew increasingly grim.
Including this battle, the Void Sword Sect has suffered two consecutive defeats. Considering their inevitable loss to the Xuanji Immortal Sect, the Void Sword Sect's current situation is far from optimistic.
If things go well, they can win two more rounds and only lose one share. But if things go badly, they will lose all the remaining rounds and become the first force to lose all five rounds.
Seeing Xiao Yangzi's pale face, Li Chenyuan felt that the probability of the Void Sword Sect losing five matches seemed quite high.
Looking at the Poison King's Holy Land side, Su Gu smiled.
"It seems things aren't going well for the Void Sword Sect, but it's alright. The Void Sword Sect is a large and powerful organization, so even if they lose a few shares, it won't be a big deal."
"The competition is not over yet, and the outcome is still uncertain. It is too early for Holy Lord Su to speak!"
Li Chenyuan glanced coldly at the other party, retorted, and then looked at Xiao Yangzi.
"Elder Xiao, hurry up and recover. I don't expect you to win by a large margin in this battle; just winning one round will be enough!"
Seeing the other person's pale face, Li Chenyuan ultimately did not have much hope, nor did he put too much pressure on the other person, and slowly said.
Upon hearing this...
Xiao Yangzi gave a bitter smile: "I have failed the sect!"
Two losses in two battles!
Such a record is simply unacceptable.
However, he was also aware of his current situation. The poison had not been completely eliminated, and even if he had time to recuperate, it was impossible for him to recover his full strength.
Winning the next three battles will likely not be so easy.
Regardless of the circumstances, having come this far, Xiao Yangzi had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.
……
soon.
The fifth battle of Lingxi Sword Sect, which ranked second, has also come to an end.
Including the initial battle with the Poison King's Holy Land, Jiang Hanfeng secured a share for the Lingxi Sword Sect.
Next up was the Void Sword Sect.
Xiao Yangzi had suffered two defeats in his previous two battles. Now, his opponent was a third-tribulation half-saint from the Li Huo Dao Sect. In order to give the Void Sword Sect a chance to survive, Xiao Yangzi went all out and fought against the half-saint from the Li Huo Dao Sect.
Despite suffering heavy losses, the opponent defeated the half-saint of the Li Huo Dao Sect and ultimately won the battle.
When it came time to fight the Forgetful Immortal Sect, Xiao Yangzi simply admitted defeat.
Because he exhausted all his resources in his third battle, his strength is now less than one-tenth of what it used to be, making him no match for the Forgetful Immortal Sect.
The fifth battle was against the Xuanji Immortal Sect, so there's no need to elaborate further.
finally.
The Void Sword Sect suffered four defeats and one victory in five battles, just like the Poison King Holy Land, which lost three units.
Li Chenyuan was able to accept this result.
After all, given Xiao Yangzi's situation, it would be normal for the opponent to suffer five defeats in five battles.
If we can win another match now and minimize the losses of the Void Sword Sect, that would be quite good.
What followed was much simpler.
Poison King Holy Land, Spirit Stream Sword Sect, and Void Sword Sect have all completed five matches, leaving only Fire Blaze Dao Sect, Forgetful Immortal Sect, and Xuanji Immortal Sect still unfinished.
But everyone knows that Xuanji Immortal Sect was the biggest winner in the first round.
But who will be the second winner depends on the battle between the Li Huo Dao Sect and the Wang Qing Immortal Sect.
So far, the two sects have fought three battles, with each winning two and losing one.
In the next battle, whoever wins will have a record of three wins and two losses, and like the Lingxi Sword Sect, will secure a share.
If they lose, then it will be two wins and three losses, resulting in the loss of one spot.
soon.
The half-saints from the two major sects then made their move.
In this battle, both sides went all out, with neither side holding back.
Because everyone knows that this is the last battle, there is no need to hold back.
Although a fifth battle exists, it involves an Eighth Tribulation Half-Saint from the Xuanji Immortal Sect. Even if they were at their peak, they would never be a match for him.
and so.
At this point, there's no point in holding back any longer.
The only right way is to fight with all our might and strive to gain as much benefit as possible for the sect.
Unfortunately.
The half-saint of the Li Huo Dao Sect had fought a bloody battle with Xiao Yangzi, but ultimately lost and suffered a significant loss of strength.
Looking at the Forgetful Immortal Sect, Xiao Yangzi directly conceded defeat in that battle, allowing the other side to preserve their strength.
In this way...
The former has suffered a significant loss of strength, while the latter is almost at its peak, so the difference between them is naturally considerable.
finally.
The half-saint of the Forgetful Immortal Sect was superior in skill, successfully suppressing the half-saint of the Blazing Fire Dao Sect and winning this battle.
The Li Huo Dao Sect was naturally unwilling to accept this outcome.
But there's nothing we can do about it. The facts are clear: we've lost, and there's nothing more to say.
After being defeated by the Forgetful Immortal Sect, the Half-Saint of the Blazing Fire Dao Sect also simply admitted defeat when facing the Xuanji Immortal Sect.
With the Li Huo Dao Sect's defeat, the Wang Qing Immortal Sect simply conceded defeat as well.
This is the end.
The first round was the end of it all.
Xuanji Immortal Sect won all five battles, successfully securing five shares and becoming the biggest winner of the first round.
