As for that,
Wang Quan Yan did not care.
Why exactly could Lin Jingyu not draw his sword?
Wang Quan Yan knew the answer perfectly well. After all... he had also understood the thought Dragon Slayer had just conveyed.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Why did he feel like some kind of cuckold?
Wang Quan Yan raised a hand and stroked the Dragon Slayer Sword in his grasp. The emerald divine sword gave a faint tremble, expressing its affection...
What was this supposed to be?
Looking at Lin Jingyu's despairing face, Wang Quan Yan wondered if this counted as—doing it right in front of the husband?
At that moment,
Lin Jingyu's face was full of despair.
But deep down, he was even more unwilling to accept it.
No!
He refused to believe it!
Dragon Slayer Sword definitely still loved him!
Wang Quan Yan must have used some kind of sorcery to win Dragon Slayer Sword's heart!
All he had to do was prove himself in front of Dragon Slayer Sword!
All he had to do was defeat Wang Quan Yan!
Then he would definitely win back Dragon Slayer Sword's heart!
"Draw your sword!"
Lin Jingyu pulled himself together.
However,
the moment Wang Quan Yan drew Dragon Slayer Sword,
Lin Jingyu fell into despair again.
Please.
Please, could you not use Dragon Slayer Sword?
"I won't allow you to touch it..."
Lin Jingyu gritted his teeth, his face twisted with fury.
He brandished the enchanted sword in his hand and charged at Wang Quan Yan without regard for anything else, determined to defeat him and regain Dragon Slayer Sword's recognition.
"Come! Fight!"
But just as Wang Quan Yan swept Dragon Slayer Sword across the air,
Lin Jingyu's expression changed.
He hurriedly withdrew his enchanted sword, as though terrified that his own attack might hurt Dragon Slayer...
What the hell?!
Wang Quan Yan wore a strange expression.
Why did he suddenly feel like he was the greatest villain here?
With that thought,
Wang Quan Yan shook his head helplessly.
He casually swung his sword, completely ending this farce.
Whoosh!
Dragon Slayer Sword bloomed with a dazzling flash of sword light.
A faint sword intent soared into the sky. The entire arena was enveloped by Sword Momentum, leaving Lin Jingyu nowhere to retreat. He was directly swallowed by that brilliant sword light, then sent off the arena without any suspense...
This time,
Wang Quan Yan did not make things difficult for him.
Although Lin Jingyu was also a Dragon Head Peak disciple,
still...
in Wang Quan Yan's eyes, he seemed more like a wronged husband?
For that very reason,
Wang Quan Yan decided not to make things difficult for him.
After all,
Lin Jingyu had already suffered enough.
Bang!
At that moment,
Lin Jingyu was sent off the arena by Wang Quan Yan's single strike.
He lay motionless on the ground, his face ashen, as though his entire world had plunged into darkness and he no longer had anything to cling to...
No—
Lin Jingyu screamed wildly in his heart.
Seeing this,
the many Dragon Head Peak disciples nearby hurried forward.
They sheepishly dragged Lin Jingyu away, inexplicably feeling rather embarrassed...
"This match."
"Grand Bamboo Peak's Wang Quan Yan—victory!"
The Tongtian Peak elder on the arena announced the result.
For a time,
the Top 32 to Top 16 matches officially came to an end.
Since it was still early, True Person Dao Xuan decided to hold the Top 16 to Top 8 matches today as well...
In other words,
Wang Quan Yan still had another match to fight.
As he stepped down from the arena,
the many watching disciples around him parted to make way.
Wang Quan Yan calmly left with his sword in hand.
Whoosh—
Just then,
he suddenly noticed a pair of aloof eyes.
Wang Quan Yan paused slightly. He stopped and looked into the distance, where an aloof maiden in white stood before him. Her white dress fluttered, her hair danced in the wind, and a trace of inexplicable meaning flickered in her clear, cold eyes...
Others might not understand her gaze,
but that did not mean Wang Quan Yan could not!
She was probably saying—
The Top 8 is coming up. I hope to meet you in the Finals!
Wang Quan Yan: Fine!
The many Qingyun Disciples nearby exchanged looks.
They watched Wang Quan Yan stop and lock eyes with Lu Xueqi. If there was nothing between those two, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death!
Heh—
So they were so innocent they could have five children, huh?
Pah!
And they still called that upright and honorable?
Just look around. Who here believed that?
Grand Bamboo Peak had eight or nine contestants in total, but only three made it into the Top 16: Wang Quan Yan, Song Daren, and Zhang Xiaofan.
To be honest,
quite a few people from Grand Bamboo Peak were surprised that Zhang Xiaofan had advanced.
After all,
Zhang Xiaofan was only at the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity.
He did not even have a proper magic treasure.
How had he made it into the Top 16?
As for that,
Wang Quan Yan knew the reason perfectly well.
Zhang Xiaofan might only be at the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity, but his foundation was actually exceedingly deep. After all, he was the first person in history to cultivate both Buddha and Dao.
Even though he was only at the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity,
his physique and foundation were enough to rival the Ninth Layer of Jade Purity!
As for the matter of magic treasures?
Heh—
Was Zhang Xiaofan's magic treasure really just an ordinary Fire-Burning Staff?
How could that be!
The fusion of the Blood Devouring Pearl and the Soul Absorbing Rod had directly turned the Fire-Burning Staff in Zhang Xiaofan's hand into a divine artifact far surpassing the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon.
With such a divine artifact,
combined with Zhang Xiaofan's formidable physique and foundation, was reaching the Top 16 not a simple matter?
Perhaps luck had played some part in it,
but his strength was certainly not something that could be overlooked.
The Top 16 to Top 8 matches soon began.
In this round,
Song Daren encountered a formidable opponent.
In the end, he could only regretfully stop at the Top 16.
But—
Zhang Xiaofan continued breaking through the competition.
Relying on the Fire-Burning Staff in his hand, he defeated a Seventh Layer of Jade Purity disciple from Chaoyang Peak despite being a realm below, advancing into the Top 8 of the Seven Peaks Tournament in one stroke.
At the same time,
Zhang Xiaofan's performance
also caught the attention of one of the Peak Masters.
Whoosh!
On the High Platform,
Cangsong seemed to sense a familiar aura. He abruptly opened his eyes and looked at the Fire-Burning Staff in Zhang Xiaofan's hand, his gaze flickering slightly...
"This is?"
"The Blood Devouring Pearl!"
Cangsong was startled.
Why was the Blood Devouring Pearl in the hands of a Grand Bamboo Peak disciple?
Cangsong's eyes flickered.
In the end, he chose not to expose it on the spot.
Because tonight, he still had another plan to carry out...
Meanwhile,
the matches continued.
During her Top 8 qualifying match, Lu Xueqi once again encountered a Dragon Head Peak disciple.
Without the slightest hesitation, she decisively drew the Tianya Divine Sword and directly severed the other party's life-bound immortal sword. If she remembered correctly...
this Dragon Head Peak disciple currently fighting her
seemed to have been the one shouting the loudest beneath the arena during Wang Quan Yan's match?
Heh—
No strength to speak of.
Who was he trying to impress?
Lu Xueqi calmly turned, sheathed her sword, and left.
So,
did she truly hate Dragon Head Peak?
Or was she simply trying to vent someone's anger for him?!
Lu Xueqi did not know.
She only knew that she hated Dragon Head Peak.
"Next match!"
"Grand Bamboo Peak's Wang Quan Yan versus Dragon Head Peak's Qi Hao!"
At that moment, the Tongtian Peak elder on the arena suddenly announced the next competitors, and his voice immediately stirred up a huge uproar among the crowd.
The long-awaited clash of titans.
It had finally arrived!
Who would have thought Qi Hao and Wang Quan Yan would meet in the round of sixteen-to-eight!?
Whoosh!
The aloof maiden's gaze turned toward them.
