Super-High Evaluation
This scene startled many people.
Ji Chutong's ability to trigger such astonishing Dao principles was something even some Great Ascension Stage, or even those newly entering the Sendai stage, found hard to accept.
But when Qi Zixiao spoke, his simple words directly deterred the Daoist principles. Not only that, but they also felt an intense, thirsty desire to hear what followed.
Unfortunately, if Qi Zixiao didn't speak, how could they hear her?!
Qi Zixiao didn't care whether people were shocked or not; all she wanted to do was prevent Ji Chutong from having a big fight with Shi Tiesheng.
When she saw the sky full of Dao laws, even she was startled. But she knew one thing very well: even if Ji Chutong had Innate Dao Body, she couldn't possibly have much control over the Dao laws at her current level of cultivation!
For example, at this moment, it looks quite terrifying, but can Ji Chutong really control this vast array of Dao principles?
Not necessarily!
It's very likely that she was only able to barely activate these Dao principles, using their power to suppress herself.
And... isn't it just the Dao?!
I may not have learned anything else on Earth, but I'm certainly very good at talking!
He casually quoted the first two lines of the Tao Te Ching, and the effect was excellent. He immediately frightened Ji Chutong, and even the countless Daoist principles disappeared...
Moreover, Ji Chutong's appearance clearly showed that she was deeply shaken at the moment.
Such a great opportunity, if we don't act now, when will we?!
Qi Zixiao immediately drew her sword.
Choke!
The sword energy soared into the sky, like an uncontrollable brat, instantly shattering the clouds in the heavens, and then, carrying astonishing sword intent, it slashed down towards the still 'dazed' Ji Chutong.
"Not good!"
Ji Chutong's Protector Disciple immediately exclaimed, "Your Highness, be careful!"
"This is..."
As the attack approached, Ji Chutong reacted instantly, dodging at lightning speed while extending her fair and delicate hand and unleashing several palm strikes in succession!
With her True Essence merging with the laws of heaven and earth, Ji Chutong's every move contained a portion of the power of heaven and earth, which was astonishing and difficult to resist.
However, Qi Zixiao, wielding Top-Grade Dao Artifact Divine Weapon, also held the advantage, and the two sides were evenly matched in their attacks.
On the contrary, the protective formation of the arena, which had been 'struggling to hold on,' was completely shattered by the dissipated sword energy...
Call!
Ji Chutong leaped back, her face cold, and whispered, "What were you just saying?!"
"None of your business?"
Qi Zixiao chuckled, "Hehe, didn't you ask me if I knew what the Dao is? What, I just said it casually, and you're not happy about it?"
"..."
Ji Chutong coldly replied, "Sharp-tongued!"
"Let's fight again!"
"Let's fight!"
Qi Zixiao's intention was to stall for time before engaging in battle.
Just what I wanted!
On the stands, Huo Yuan blinked, gave Lin Fan a deep look, and then looked at Jian Zi Qiu Mobai on the other side of the stands. After noticing that his face was ashen and his whole body was stiff, he seemed to understand something and chuckled.
"Interesting. It seems he didn't lend his sword to this kid, did he? Or was it stolen?"
"A dignified swordsman, even his sword has been stolen... Interesting, interesting, hahaha!"
He shook his head and smiled, his worries gone.
When Huo Yuan first saw Lin Fan take out the Cloud Piercing Sword, he was genuinely a little worried.
It wasn't that I was worried Ji Chutong would lose, but rather... as a swordswoman, if she could lend out her sword, what level of relationship would that imply?!
It should be known that for sword cultivators, the sword is almost more precious than a common person's wife.
Moreover, it needs to be nurtured at all times. The longer it is nurtured, the more its sword intent will resonate with its owner, and the more astonishing its power will become when fought.
But now it seems that ' Lin Fan ' directly refined the Cloud Piercing Sword, in other words, Qiu Mobai's previous nurturing was almost completely wasted...
If it was "borrowed," Huo Yuan would really suspect that the Sword and Sabre Divine Sect had some unspeakable secret with this mysterious and powerful "True Person HeHe."
But now...
One look at Qiu Mobai's flustered expression and Sword Seventeen's liver-like face was enough to explain everything.
"Isn't it almost time?"
Huo Yuan smiled and suddenly spoke.
The Celestial Platform Realm subordinate beside him immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, there are only a few breaths left. We can begin at any time..."
"Then let's begin. However, we must re-stabilize the arena of that True Person HeHe Tai Yi Saintess, so as not to let their battle affect the other prodigies."
"Yes, sir!"
After agreeing, the Celestial Platform Expert immediately flew into the sky and announced the start of the duel.
At the same time, with a wave of his hand, he set up an even more astonishing formation to protect the arena where Ji Chutong and Qi Zixiao were fighting.
As a result, even though Ji Chutong and Qi Zixiao fought more and more fiercely, they were unable to break the formation...
Splash...
One after another, figures flew onto the arena.
Among them, the one who was most worried and uncertain was Shi Tiesheng.
He practically flew onto the stage, staring anxiously at the direction of the battle between Ji Chutong and Qi Zixiao.
However...
Ji Chutong did not leave the battle and was still fighting Lin Fan, which made Shi Tiesheng feel slightly relieved.
But it was only slightly so.
Completely reassured?!
This is just the beginning!
There's still a full incense stick's time left. Unless Ji Chutong still hasn't arrived by then, he'll still only be left with the outcome of being 'out of luck'!
For cultivators, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn is quite long, especially for such prodigies.
Under normal circumstances, with Ji Chutong's strength, defeating a Rogue Cultivator in the Void Refining Initial Stage would only take one move.
Even though Lin Fan was showing great strength at this moment, Shi Tiesheng still didn't think he had much of a chance of winning.
At the same time, many people didn't even fly onto the ring before admitting defeat.
for example...
Qi Zixiao's opponents, Du Chuan's opponents, Lu Yao's opponents, Zou Hu's opponents, and so on, all chose to concede defeat and forfeit immediately.
This also allows these top geniuses to focus on the battle between Ji Chutong and ' Lin Fan ' without having to fight themselves.
"Watch closely, everyone!"
Lu Yao whispered to her junior sisters beside her, "Ji Chutong is the current Tai Yi Saintess, with Innate Dao Body. Even I am ashamed of my own strength!"
"This is your best chance to get to know her..."
"But Your Highness, even if we were to encounter her, we wouldn't stand a chance of winning, would we?"
"It's definitely not possible in the short term."
Lu Yao's expression was somewhat wistful. "But a prodigy... before he grows up, he's just a prodigy."
"No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Perhaps one day, Ji Chutong will fall into depravity, or perhaps one day, you will obtain an extraordinary opportunity and rise to great heights."
"Everything is changing, so if you have the opportunity to learn about the most outstanding talents of our time, you should not miss it."
The crowd seemed to understand, but nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Your Highness."
However, some people asked curiously, "But Your Highness, why is that True Person HeHe so powerful? He's only at the Void Refining Initial Stage Refinement realm, yet he was able to fight Ji Chutong to this extent..."
The man exclaimed in surprise, "If it were me, even though I'm also at the Void Refining Initial Stage realm, I'm afraid I could only withstand a few moves from Ji Chutong at most!"
"He... seemed to be forcing himself to stay upright."
Lu Yao gently shook her head. "I can't see it clearly either, but his True Essence consumption should be more than twice that of Ji Chutong, but he can still persevere. He must have some kind of method to quickly replenish his True Essence. We'll just have to watch."
"No matter who he is, and no matter whether he wins or loses, this battle is worth our attention!"
Zou Hu frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the arena.
Why is Your Highness frowning?
Someone came closer, expressing curiosity. "Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Ji Chutong?"
"Roll!"
Zou Hu cursed, "In Laozi heart, Zixiao is the best in the world..."
"Laozi was thinking, this Lin Fan, this ' True Person HeHe,' is actually quite powerful, able to fight Ji Chutong to this extent..."
"Back in the day, Laozi..."
He paused for a few seconds before saying, "In short, Ji Chutong is not someone to be trifled with; she's no weaker than Du Chuan."
"To be able to fight Ji Chutong like this, I'm True Person HeHe quite interested in this Laozi. I hope I can run into him and have a match with him in the future!"
"Hiss..."
The surrounding disciples of the Nine Dragons Holy Land were all taken aback. No one expected that Zou Hu would have such a high opinion of Ji Chutong and ' Lin Fan '.
In fact, in most cultivators' memories, Du Chuan was much more 'violent'. Although Ji Chutong had never been defeated, Du Chuan's record was clearly far more formidable...
Everyone knows that Ji Chutong is not weak, but no one knows that she is on par with Du Chuan!
If that's the case, then isn't Lin Fan, who's currently fighting her, also a formidable opponent?!
To be able to fight a peerless genius like Ji Chutong for a while without being defeated, such a strong person is worthy of being taken seriously by all the geniuses!
On the other side of the stands, Du Chuan remained calm, as if nothing could startle him.
Even so, Du Chuan's bright eyes remained fixed on the arena where Ji Chutong and ' Lin Fan ' were.
Various lights were shining in his eyes.
No one knew what he was thinking, but he didn't seem relaxed at all.
"This guy!!!"
"How dare they be so arrogant? Their lawlessness has reached this level! Do they really think the Sword and Sabre Divine Sect is without anyone?!"
In the stands of the Sword Saint Sect, Sword Master Qiu Mobai was filled with shock and anger, cursing inwardly!
At this moment, he hated Lin Fan to the core.
It was truly unbelievable that Lin Fan would be so audacious as to dare use the Cloud Piercing Sword in full view of everyone!
This guy's got a death wish, isn't he?!
What is the Cloud Piercing Sword?
Top-Grade Dao Artifact! Priceless and unavailable!
That's not all. At the same time, the Cloud Piercing Sword is also one of the symbolic divine weapons of the Sword and Sabre Divine Sect. It was the Natal Divine Weapon of the previous generation's sword master and belonged to him!
Qiu Mobai was already furious about being robbed, but dared not make a sound, only thinking of finding an opportunity to get it back.
But now... is there any need to make a fuss?!
Everyone knows that, okay?!
