Testing the Sword!

"Okay, can you please tell me why you're targeting me?"

Looking at the twelve Dou Emperor surrounding him, Xiao Yan asked with an unchanged expression.

Of course, such blatant targeting left not only the spectators but also the other contestants on the Bluestone Square completely bewildered as they watched this scene.

But they had no intention of interfering; they were simply looking at Xiao Yan with the eyes of someone who was looking down on him.

However, some people sensed something was amiss, but didn't know why.

After all, the Four Pavilions Assembly has been held for so many sessions, and it is extremely rare for it to attract so many people to target it so soon after it begins.

Moreover, the few times this happened were when passersby joined forces to target the Chief Disciple of the Four Pavilions!

As for strangers teaming up to target each other, this is the first time Xiao Yan has ever witnessed such a thing.

"Haha, do you guys think that guy did something that would incur the wrath of heaven and earth?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's just bad luck, or maybe someone's targeting us."

"But the conference has only just begun, hasn't it? Did he offend those 12 people who ganged up on him before the conference even started?"

"Hmm~, maybe they just don't like him!"

"Tsk tsk, it seems quite clear who will be the first to go."

"Yeah, 1v12, I don't see him having any chance of winning."

"It's hard to say. I'll bet he's exceptionally talented!"

"Do you think he can beat those 12 people?"

"No, I think he can hold on a little longer and won't be the first one to be knocked out."

The news of Xiao Yan's current unfortunate treatment spread to almost every corner.

However, almost no one was optimistic about Xiao Yan.

After all, this is 1 vs 12!

At the same time, faced with Xiao Yan's question, the 12 Dou Emperor exchanged glances, but none of them spoke.

"Heh, you're not going to talk? Well then, I'll make you open your mouths!"

Xiao Yan smiled, and a fiery aura began to emanate from him.

The next second, to everyone's astonishment, Xiao Yan actually chose to face the 12 Dou Emperor head-on!

Just as Xiao Yan was engaged in a fierce battle with 12 Dou Emperor, Nalan Yanran, after leaving his side, quickly found her own target.

Tang Ying is the Chief Disciple of the Myriad Sword Pavilion. He is an upright and honest person, and his actions are open and straightforward. He is very much like his teacher Sword Venerable. He is respected by many of his fellow disciples in the Myriad Sword Pavilion.

He himself possessed the cultivation of Peak Dou Emperor, making him one of the most outstanding individuals in this Four Pavilions Assembly.

Therefore, he seemed to handle the chaotic situation with ease.

"Bang"

Before he even drew his sword, he had already swept a Four-Star Dou Emperor out of the Bluestone Square.

He then prepared to look for his next target.

However, before Tang Ying could find his next target, someone else approached him first!

"Hmm? Interesting, someone actually came to me on their own initiative!"

Looking at the Pink-Haired girl who had stopped him, Tang Ying smiled.

You should know that in such a chaotic battle, bystanders usually choose to avoid the four Chief Disciples of the Four Pavilions in order to survive to the end!

Such instances of someone actively seeking out the Chief Disciple the Four Pavilions for a one-on-one duel are extremely rare.

Tang Ying never expected that he would run into this person today.

The person who approached Tang Ying was naturally Nalan Yanran.

As Sword Cultivator, the kind of people she most wanted to fight were also Sword Cultivator!

Throughout the entire venue, whose Sword Dao was superior to Tang Ying's?

Therefore, it was not surprising at all that Nalan Yanran would take the initiative to approach Tang Ying.

Even the Sword Venerable, who had been paying attention to Nalan Yanran earlier, found this scene to be perfectly natural.

"Young lady, are you trying to challenge me? Let me give you a piece of advice: if you face me, you won't be able to make it to the final Top Eight."

Tang Ying kindly reminded Nalan Yanran of something.

However, Nalan Yanran remained unmoved by Tang Ying's "kind advice."

"Clang~"

The silver-white longsword in his hand was already drawn, pointing diagonally at Tang Ying.

"I've come to test my sword against you, draw it!"

Nalan Yanran spoke solemnly.

Despite being a beautiful young woman, Nalan Yanran at this moment seemed to transform into a sharp sword, her entire aura exuding a powerful sense of oppression!

At the same time, Tang Ying, who had been somewhat nonchalant, became extremely serious after sensing the aura emanating from Nalan Yanran.

At this moment, he was certain that the Pink-Haired girl in front of him was not trying to become famous by challenging him, but actually had the strength to threaten him!

Therefore, he naturally dared not be careless in the slightest!

"Sword Cultivator!"

Tang Ying then uttered two words.

Someone who wields a sword isn't necessarily Sword Cultivator, but someone with such an aura, even without a sword in hand, is definitely a Sword Cultivator!

To be asked to "test one's sword" by a Sword Cultivator is an extremely solemn matter.

Even if he could sense that Nalan Yanran possessed the strength to threaten him, he would not be negligent at this moment.

At the same time, Tang Ying also felt a sense of excitement.

As the Chief Disciple of the Myriad Sword Pavilion, he was naturally the number one Sword Cultivator of his generation within the sect. However, in the entire Central Plains, apart from the Myriad Sword Pavilion, there were actually not many Sword Cultivator outside the sect.

If Tang Ying wanted to find a fellow Sword Cultivator swordsmanship with, he could basically only do so within the Myriad Sword Pavilion.

Now that he has finally encountered a Sword Cultivator who is not from the Myriad Sword Pavilion, how could he not be excited!

Before anyone knew it, Tang Ying's black longsword had also been drawn.

As the two silently confronted each other, an invisible aura emanated from them, causing many other contestants to instinctively choose to avoid them.

After all, in a battle between Sword Cultivator, the crisscrossing Sword Qi is unpredictable, and nobody wants to be caught in the crossfire, right?

The standoff between the two did not last long.

At one point, both sides moved simultaneously.

"Whoosh," "Whoosh"

"Keng"

With a flash of white and black light, the swords in the two men's hands clashed, sparks flying.

The powerful recoil separated the two once again.

"The Wind's Extremity - Annihilation!"

"Blade Dance!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the two separated and each unleashed a Dou Technique simultaneously.

One side possessed only one aura, yet it carried an aura that seemed capable of destroying everything.

On the other side, it was densely packed, enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"Boom"

The collision of the two produced a tremendous roar, drawing the attention of the other contestants around them.

But the two of them had no time to care what others thought; at that moment, they only had eyes for each other!
