They allowed themselves to be completely swallowed up by the spatial rift, and the figures in the scene became blurred.
After Xu Long's probing attack, no one in the arena dared to face that fearsome Xu Long anymore.
Xu Long no longer paid attention to the blurry figure of the Heavenly Immortal cultivator.
After the spatial rift appeared, he knew that his real test had only just begun.
After a streak of light swirled around, Yun Xiao, who had been hidden inside the fragmented space for a long time, also moved in an instant.
He had already received a Perfected Yunxiang, so it was even more impossible for him to stand by and watch his fellow disciples be annihilated on the spot by Xu Long.
Although their performance in the competition was poor, they were still a reserve force. After weighing their options, they unleashed their sword energy in an instant.
It briefly withstood the World-Breaking Blade, after which the spatial rift opened.
Yun Xiao knew that Perfected Yunxiang had personally determined the winner, so it was time for him to make his official appearance.
"Disciple of the Deacon Hall, Yun Xiao!"
The cold, sharp voice approached from afar, and when it reached his ears, it was like a sharp sword aura, piercing through the swirling energy shockwaves in front of him.
A strange light flickered in Xu Long's eyes, and the figure behind the scenes finally emerged.
As Yun Xiao and his group approached, Xu Long could see that there were seven people in total.
Led by Yun Xiao, Mid-stage Mystic Immortal cultivator, the group spread out in a fan shape, subtly surrounding Yun Xiao in the center as they gathered.
When Xu Long heard the newcomer announce his name, his gaze lingered on him for a moment.
At this moment, he recognized this person as one of the guards who had previously served by Perfected Yunxiang's side.
Xu Long was not surprised that Yun Xiao appeared in the fragmented space; he could even have guessed it.
Now, Perfected Yunxiang is watching the every move of these selected disciples.
After Yun Xiao and his group landed, Xu Long knew that this might be the final test of the competition.
Only those who pass the tests of the disciples in the Deacon Hall and remain in the fragmented space are truly among the twenty finalists.
As Xu Long watched the seven figures rush towards him, a thought popped into his mind.
So, are there also Mystic Immortal cultivators hiding in other fragmented spaces? And how many disciples are there after this selection process?
Before the thought had even faded, an aura of confinement appeared beside him.
The disciples of the Deacon Hall, who had been gathered together just moments before, suddenly separated as they approached Xu Long.
Xu Long is now subtly surrounded, with two Heavenly Immortal cultivators setting something up behind Xu Long.
Xu Long ignored the Heavenly Immortal cultivators and stared only at the cold, stern face opposite him.
Mid-stage Mystic Immortal Yun Xiao, was his primary focus.
Upon seeing the disciples of the Deacon Hall disperse into formation, Xu Long mustered his immense willpower.
Then, it controlled the giant hand in the air to change direction and rushed towards the direction where Yun Xiao was.
As the will compelled the giant palm, the Dharma Body's palm nimbly spun in the air.
As if controlled by someone, it quickly flipped and stood up in one direction.
The sky above Yun Xiao's head suddenly darkened, and a scorching heatwave formed.
Before the Dharma Body's palm even arrived, the heat wave surged towards him.
Yun Xiao looked at the giant hand above his head, where raging heavenly fire was still burning.
As the fire dragon between the palm lines roared, it stirred up the airflow within the fragmented space.
Xu Long resorted to his old trick, attempting to use his giant hand to control Yun Xiao and sever his connection with other disciples of the Deacon Hall.
Yun Xiao did not dodge at all under the giant palm, as scorching heavenly fire surged towards him.
Instead of paying attention to the flames that were devouring the figure, he instead struck out a solid magic seal to his side.
Xu Long, standing below, narrowed his eyes slightly, a meaningful smile playing at the corners of his lips:
This guy does have some experience in fighting!
Yun Xiao did not dodge when facing the giant palm and heavenly fire. He flipped his hand and formed a magic seal, which he then unleashed to his side.
The solidified magic seal magnified like a shield of light, and Yun Xiao's Magic Power surged into it wildly.
His expression turned slightly bitter, because he knew that the heavenly fire above his head was not the key issue.
Xu Long's enormous magic seal had already struck beside Yun Xiao; the magic seal that had just dealt with the cultivators had now been transferred to Yun Xiao's side.
That's why he risked everything to condense a magic seal to defend himself.
The hand seal of the Dharma Body Palm was of an unusual size. After feeling a strong sense of pressure, Yun Xiao knew that his hand seal probably could not continue.
He had no choice but to unleash his own magical Magic Power, expanding his magical seal accordingly.
After the two enormous seals made contact simultaneously, wispy spatial cracks began to appear at the location where Yun Xiao was.
When those two powerful energies collided, they created a small vortex.
When chaotic energy churns within, it will completely shatter Yun Xiao's location.
boom!
A deafening roar echoed throughout the fragmented space.
The moment the two seals came into contact, a violent explosion occurred.
Xu Long, who had been observing from the opposite side for a long time, suddenly turned cold, and a streak of light flashed across the sky.
A chaotic burst of energy erupted from the explosion's epicenter, coalescing into something resembling two enormous hands.
It stirred up the surrounding air currents and energy, tearing apart the location where the Yun Xiao was in an instant.
Loud crackling sounds erupted as shockwaves swirled endlessly within the spatial rift.
Countless fragments of space were stirred up and flew everywhere. Yun Xiao in the arena had already retreated far away.
But the violent energy continued to roar incessantly, with rolling heavenly fire swirling around the shockwave.
The disciples of the Deacon Hall all made way, as the soaring energy resembled an earth dragon, tumbling its massive body within the narrow gaps.
When the chaotic energy subsided slightly, Xu Long stood alone in the arena.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and a sharp whistling sound immediately reached Yun Xiao's ears.
Before he could even react after the magic seal exploded, Xu Long's sword light was already hurtling towards him.
Buzz!
A resounding sword cry echoed from beyond the heavens, and a streak of light flashed suddenly amidst the chaotic energy shockwave.
The soaring energy was instantly cut off by a cold light, and countless fragments of space dodged in front of the beam.
It was as if a straight passage had been carved out inside the narrow, fragmented space.
A cold glint flashed in Yun Xiao's eyes, and the sharp sound in his ear disappeared immediately.
Clang!
A sharp, cold sword cry also erupted at that moment.
As the sword light approached, a white glint flashed in Yun Xiao's eyes. He unleashed his own swirling sword energy at the sword light.
After a sword cry, dozens of sharp sword energies burst forth from behind Yun Xiao.
One of the white sword lights was particularly imposing, just like his cold and stern face.
This white light also possessed an aloof and exceptionally sharp aura, and when it appeared in an instant, it was already the leader of the crowd.
Seeing the approaching sword light, Yun Xiao activated his True Spirit, causing the white light to swirl above his head.
