Sword! Come!

Sword! Come!

On the high platform.

Master Shuiyue noticed Ji Changfeng guiding Su Yi through her breakthrough.

A faint smile appeared on her face as she gazed softly at Ji Changfeng, lost in thought...

"Junior Sister, thank Changfeng for me."

Master Shuiyue spoke softly to Su Ru beside her.

Su Ru nodded with a smile.

The other Peak Masters nearby had also noticed what was happening on the arena. Surprise appeared on their faces, and at the same time...

They felt an inexplicable hint of envy.

"Good."

Seeing this, True Master Daoxuan stroked his beard with a chuckle and said softly:

"Nephew Changfeng possesses both virtue and talent. He helps his fellow disciples and watches over them. Not bad! Not bad!"

Cangsong Daoist burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Nephew Changfeng is truly a qilin of our Qingyun Sect!"

At first, Tian Buyi wore a faint smile upon hearing True Master Daoxuan's praise. But after hearing Cangsong Daoist's words...

The smile gradually vanished from his face.

It was replaced by a puzzled expression.

What was wrong with Cang Song?

Why did it feel as though Old Seven were a disciple of Dragon Head Peak...

On the arena.

The Arena Guardian Elder announced Ji Changfeng's victory without hesitation.

With that, Ji Changfeng officially entered the final four.

At the same time.

On another arena.

Two young women stood proudly facing one another, immediately drawing the attention of many Qingyun Disciples.

After all...

They were simply too dazzling.

"Xiaozhu Peak's Lu Xueqi requests guidance from Junior Sister Ling'er."

Holding the Tianya Sword, Lu Xueqi calmly cupped her hands toward Tian Ling'er.

Tian Ling'er did not yield in the slightest. "Dazhu Peak's Tian Ling'er requests guidance from Senior Sister Lu!"

The moment her words fell.

The two women exchanged a glance, then struck without hesitation.

Whoosh—

A brilliant azure sword light flashed.

The Heavenly Ya Divine Sword was drawn for the first time!

After all, Tian Ling'er was Su Ru's daughter and practically family to Xiaozhu Peak. Thus, Lu Xueqi had shown her plenty of courtesy.

Whoosh—

Tian Ling'er's Amber Vermilion Ribbon resembled the Heaven-Mixing Silk, radiating an immensely powerful binding force as it instantly wrapped toward Lu Xueqi...

Lu Xueqi was very familiar with this Artifact.

After all, she had come into contact with it nearly every night recently. How could she not be familiar with it?

Clang—

Lu Xueqi held the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword as a crisp sword cry rang out. Azure sword light flashed and vanished.

The next moment.

The surrounding Amber Vermilion Ribbon instantly shattered into fragments that filled the sky.

Before a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, Tian Ling'er's probing attack carried little force.

Seeing this, Tian Ling'er was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

She formed a hand seal and once again controlled the Amber Vermilion Ribbon.

"Go!"

This time, Tian Ling'er controlled the Amber Vermilion Ribbon to seal off nearly all of Lu Xueqi's paths of retreat.

If Lu Xueqi had no way to break the situation.

Then there was only one possible outcome for her.

She would be bound by the Amber Vermilion Ribbon's nimble flexibility until she completely lost the ability to move...

Below the arena.

Ji Changfeng stood at the edge.

He had rushed over the moment his match ended.

But as he watched Tian Ling'er's match against Lu Xueqi, Ji Changfeng could not help shaking his head lightly.

How should he put it?

Tian Ling'er appeared to hold the upper hand, but in truth...

Her defeat was already inevitable.

There were several reasons:

First, her cultivation was far below Lu Xueqi's.

Second, her Artifact was countered.

Third, she had made a fatal mistake.

The Amber Vermilion Ribbon was already countered by the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword. Under such circumstances, Tian Ling'er should not have chosen to fight Lu Xueqi from a distance.

She should have used the Amber Vermilion Ribbon's flexibility to engage in close combat and entangle the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword in Lu Xueqi's hand.

Only then.

Would Tian Ling'er have had even a sliver of a chance to win...

Ji Changfeng kept his eyes on the battle atop the arena.

Looking over.

He saw Tian Ling'er forming seals with both hands as the Amber Vermilion Ribbon continuously wound around Lu Xueqi, quickly binding her within...

Joy flashed across Tian Ling'er's face.

Thinking she was about to win, she immediately shouted, "Bind God!"

Whoosh—

The next moment.

The Amber Vermilion Ribbon rapidly contracted, seeking to completely seal Lu Xueqi's final avenue of escape.

But just then...

An incomparably brilliant sword light flashed past.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the Amber Vermilion Ribbon's Bind God was broken apart.

Lu Xueqi's figure flashed, and she appeared directly before Tian Ling'er. The Tianya Sword in her hand rested lightly before her.

"Junior Sister Ling'er, I concede," Lu Xueqi said calmly.

Tian Ling'er's little face fell, but she could only nod unwillingly.

"Xiaozhu Peak's Lu Xueqi wins!"

The Arena Guardian Elder announced the final result.

The surrounding Qingyun Disciples cheered loudly. This match had been simply too spectacular.

Two stunningly talented young beauties competing!

Who could resist watching that?

Below the arena, Ji Changfeng smiled faintly as he watched Tian Ling'er approach with a miserable expression.

"Ji Changfeng! What are you laughing at?" Tian Ling'er's eyes were slightly red. She pouted, looking utterly aggrieved.

She practically seemed to be saying, If you don't comfort me, I'll cry for you to see.

"Alright, alright."

Ji Changfeng smiled and rubbed her head, then said softly, "How about I avenge you tomorrow?"

The moment he said that, Tian Ling'er's eyes lit up.

Avenge her?

"Really?" Tian Ling'er blinked.

"Of course it's true."

Ji Changfeng smiled and nodded.

When coaxing a child.

A little lying was necessary.

But the moment he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a cold gaze directed at him from not far away.

Ji Changfeng looked over without changing his expression.

It was Lu Xueqi.

Fine.

There was another one he needed to coax.

"Alright, let's go watch Little Fan's match." Ji Changfeng calmly withdrew his gaze.

"Okay." Tian Ling'er's mood improved greatly.

The two of them headed together toward the arena where Zhang Xiaofan was competing.

Behind them, Lu Xueqi silently watched Ji Changfeng's departing back, a trace of coldness flickering in her eyes...

Avenge her?

Hmph.

Come then.

Ji Changfeng and Tian Ling'er arrived at the arena for Zhang Xiaofan's match, only to discover that it had long since ended.

No.

It would be more accurate to say that it had never begun.

Zhang Xiaofan's opponent was Chang Jian of Tongtian Peak. The other man had injured his vital energy in the previous round's battle against Dazhu Peak's Song Daren...

As a result, he could not attend this round.

So Zhang Xiaofan did not even step onto the arena and advanced directly into the final four.

With that, all four finalists had been decided.

They were Lu Xueqi, Ji Changfeng, Zhang Xiaofan, and Qi Hao.

Two of the final four were from Dazhu Peak, and Tian Buyi was practically laughing with delight.

He had originally thought there would only be Ji Changfeng.

But he had not expected Zhang Xiaofan to make it into the final four as well?!

Not bad, not bad!

"Old Seven, Old Eight, get some proper rest. You still have a match tomorrow."

Tian Buyi gave them a reminder.

Of course, he was mainly speaking to Ji Changfeng.

After all...

Tian Buyi did not believe Zhang Xiaofan could defeat Qi Hao, who was at the Jade Purity Ninth Layer.

"Yes, Master!" Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan nodded respectfully.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the night was gone.

Last night, Lu Xueqi had not come out to "coincidentally" run into Ji Changfeng.

Because of that.

Ji Changfeng guessed that she was angry?

"Because Nai Qi heard me say yesterday that I'd help Ling'er get revenge?"

Ji Changfeng felt that was probably the reason.

But it was fine.

Wasn't anger perfectly normal?

Everyone got angry.

In any case, after today's match.

Nai Qi would probably have no one but him in her heart.

Ahem.

After four years of planning.

Ji Changfeng only wanted to shape Nai Qi into his own form.

What bad intentions could he possibly have?

"This match: Dazhu Peak's Ji Changfeng versus Xiaozhu Peak's Lu Xueqi!"

At the Arena Guardian Elder's command.

Ji Changfeng leisurely stepped onto the arena.

At the same time, the expressionless Lu Xueqi approached, holding the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, their gazes met.

Without hesitation, Lu Xueqi drew the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword and said coldly:

"Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak, please enlighten me!"

"Clang—"

A dazzling azure sword flash flickered past.

The Tianya Sword pointed directly at Ji Changfeng.

"Ji Changfeng of Dazhu Peak, please enlighten me!" Ji Changfeng said with a faint smile, cupping his hands in salute.

Yet he showed no intention of drawing his sword.

Because...

He had not brought one.

In truth, for Ji Changfeng, who had mastered the Sword Manipulation Technique, it did not matter whether his sword was on him or not.

As long as he wished it, he could summon his personal sword from afar with a mere thought!

At this moment, Lu Xueqi frowned slightly.

Her gaze swept over Ji Changfeng, but she saw no trace of any Artifacts.

"Where is your sword?" Lu Xueqi asked coldly.

Ji Changfeng smiled faintly at her question.

Instead of answering, he slowly raised his right hand and called out softly:

"Sword—come!"
