The Second Sword

The Divine Wood Sect Grand Competition has finally reached the final round that Chen Mobai has been looking forward to.

The three true disciples stood on the arena.

Besides Chen Mobai, there's Feng Hongxue from last year's top-ranked Sword Cultivation Department.

Another one is Li Yixian, a true disciple of the Puppet Department who was tenth last year but broke into the top three this year.

After the three stood there for a while, Meng Hong, the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, descended from the sky with two Foundation Establishment Elder.

"Yes, you are all very good."

Meng Hong looked at Chen Mobai and the other two, said only one sentence, and then sat down in his seat with a smile. Then, Cang Qi, who was to his left, announced the start of the final round.

"If the three of you fight one against one, and each of you has a record of one win and one loss, then the three of us old guys will decide the order of the true disciples."

In the sequence of the Twenty-Four True Disciples, only the top three are worth competing for. As long as the rest are among the True Disciples, they can be guaranteed Foundation Establishment, a Second Grade high-quality Spirit Vein Cave Mansion, and an extra benefit of 200 Spirit Stone per year.

"Both of my senior brothers are far beyond my reach. It is already a stroke of luck that I was able to enter the final round. I will take the third place."

Li Yixian was a tall, stout young man with an honest face.

He was able to fight his way up from tenth place last year to the final round this year because he had mastered a first-tier peak Crimson Sun Puppet and a Second Grade Magic Artifact.

However, when he was advancing from the top six to the top three, he encountered a true disciple of the Spirit Beast Department. Although he managed to defeat his opponent with great difficulty, his Puppetry was also damaged in many parts by the opponent's counterattack, greatly reducing its power.

However, he knew that even if the Puppetry was intact, it would only have a 20-30% chance of winning against Feng Hongxue.

But if that's the case, he's not without the intention to fight back.

However, after witnessing Chen Mobai's stunning sword strike that defeated Mu Yuan in the previous round, Li Yixian knew that only by advancing his Crimson Sun Puppet to the Second Grade Azure Sun Puppet could he possibly withstand that sword strike.

Otherwise, even if there were ten Crimson Sun Puppet, they would only end up as scrap metal and broken wood under the Rainbow of Sword Qi.

Since there's no way to beat Chen Mobai anyway, there's no point in fighting Feng Hongxue.

So I just admitted defeat.

Li Yixian's pragmatic approach drew approval from Meng Hong, who had just sat down.

"This child knows when to advance and when to retreat. If he can Foundation Establishment in the future, he can be given special attention and nurtured."

Cang Qi, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement, as if he had memorized the true teachings of the Puppet Department.

"You two may begin."

After Li Yixian left the arena, Chen Mobai and Feng Hongxue on the stage nodded upon hearing Cang Qi's words.

Let's secure victory as soon as possible.

Having defeated Ding Ying and Mu Yuan, Chen Mobai had no regrets and decided to finish the battle quickly. He opened his storage bag, and the Divine Wood Sword flew out and was held by his fingertips.

[As expected of Sword Cultivator, straightforward and direct. Are you planning to defeat me in one move? Just what I wanted.]

Seeing the Pure Azure Flying Sword leaping and drawing in the overwhelming pure primordial energy, transforming it into a brilliant rainbow that covered everything, Feng Hongxue's expression remained unchanged, but she was secretly delighted.

If Chen Mobai relies on his swordsmanship, which far surpasses his own, to break through his every move and inflict the same complete defeat on Mu Yuan, Feng Hongxue might not be able to withstand it.

But seeing that Chen Mobai had used a deadly sword technique right away, the Spirit Leaf Talisman given by Zhou Wangshen could be used perfectly.

Although she would eventually have to admit defeat, Feng Hongxue hoped to leave a deep impression on this unparalleled swordsmanship genius.

Perhaps in the future, a casual word of guidance from Chen Mobai will be able to help me break through the bottleneck in my sword practice that has been troubling me for so long.

A brilliant sword rainbow shot over, like a rosy dawn falling. However, just when everyone thought Feng Hongxue was about to be defeated, he took out a golden leaf.

After the spiritual energy was injected, the meridians on the leaf began to burst out with powerful spiritual light, transforming into a transparent leaf-shaped light shield that blocked the sword Rainbow of Sword Qi that Chen Mobai unleashed, which was absolutely impossible for someone at the Qi Refining realm to withstand.

"Spirit Leaf Talisman!"

Upon seeing this scene, Meng Hong's aged eyes flickered as he recalled Feng Hongxue's personal file, and he understood what was going on.

"Using such Talisman for the True Disciple Battle is somewhat wasteful."

Lu Yi, the Minister of the Transmission Department on the right, muttered this sentence.

Whether it's Magic Artifact or Talisman, defensive ones are more expensive than offensive ones. This Spirit Leaf Talisman could easily sell for nearly a thousand Spirit Stone in the market.

Some of the poorest of the True Disciple might not be able to earn this much in a year.

"However, in this case, Feng Hongxue might have a chance to win."

Cang Qi remained expressionless and began to analyze the situation on the field.

He thought the same as Zhou Wangshen, believing that no matter how talented Chen Mobai was, he was only at the Qi Refining stage, and that the Rainbow of Sword Qi could probably only be used once.

If this sword strike fails to defeat the opponent, there is a high possibility that the opponent will capsize due to excessive spiritual energy depletion.

In that case, the ownership of Junior Zeng Foundation Establishment Pills might change.

"Don't worry, if I'm not mistaken, Nephew Feng will admit defeat in the end."

Meng Hong's words startled Cang Qi and Lu Yi slightly, but they then frowned, especially the latter, who seemed to disapprove of this behavior.

"It's too deliberate. Although Zhou Wangshen is a descendant of Old Ancestor Zhou, his methods are still a bit crude. Trying to win people's hearts like this is very likely to backfire on Sword Cultivator."

"If it were someone else, it might be like that, but he is, after all, a descendant of Old Ancestor Zhou. Even if Chen Guixian knew, he would still have to give him some face."

Just as Cang Qi and Lu Yi disagreed, on the arena, Chen Mobai calmly sheathed his Divine Wood Sword after Feng Hongxue calmly drew her sword after using the Spirit Leaf Talisman to block the Rainbow of Sword Qi.

"Junior Brother Chen, although it may be a bit unfair to win, I would still like to ask you to give me some pointers on my swordsmanship."

Faced with Feng Hongxue's respectful request for guidance, Chen Mobai felt a little nervous.

Could this person have a second Spirit Leaf Talisman?

[Forget it, I can still unleash one more sword strike. If he can withstand it, I'll just admit defeat. Hopefully, Uncle-Master Zeng's batch of Foundation Establishment will yield two pills by then.]

Chen Mobai was very open-minded.

But the others didn't know what he was thinking and assumed he was just being angry with a sullen face.

"Junior Brother Chen, this sword technique of mine is called ' Flying Swan Drifting Snow '..."

Just as Feng Hongxue was about to unleash her most prized move, she saw the handsome young man opposite her with a sullen face and a slight frown. Under her incredulous gaze, he flicked his finger and took the Divine Wood Sword.

Then, an overwhelming amount of pure primordial energy was drawn in and transformed into a brilliant sword rainbow that rushed towards us.

"Pfft!" Without the Spirit Leaf Talisman, Feng Hongxue was completely unable to resist. Her sword broke and she flew away, spitting out blood and fainting.

Chen Mobai was determined to decide the outcome with this sword strike, so he poured all the remaining Longevity Spiritual Power, except for the last drop of Liquid Spiritual Power, into the Divine Wood Sword.

The force was stronger than the first strike! I didn't control it well.

If Cang Qi hadn't been paying close attention and redirected the aftershock of the sword towards the sky, Feng Hongxue might have been crippled even if she hadn't died.

As expected of Sword Cultivator, he has a violent temper.
