Chapter 1884: Like a Dark Horse
Hong Yu, who was sitting in the judging area, felt the corners of his lips twitch.
He saw all the spectators’ astonishment and confusion, but he was the only one who knew that Jin Duyi was not being daring.
He was not seeking his own death.
In fact, Jin Duyi had always liked to defeat the enemy after they revealed their strongest fighting method!
She Ling, who controlled his Great Dao Field, Endless Road to Hell, was also defeated in this way...
Gao Lingtian was also stunned at first and found his opponent’s decision hard to believe.
By now, he had acknowledged Lin Xun's combat power, and he even regarded him as a strong enemy worthy of his full effort.
However, he did not expect that his opponent, who had always been calm, tranquil, and composed before, would become so proactive at this moment.
This Blade Dao Field was the embodiment of his dao, and it was also the reason why he had become famous in the Cloud State and was titled the Demon Blade Saint-King!
No one has ever walked out of my Great Dao Field alive. Will you, Jin Duyi, be an exception...Gao Lingtian's heart surged with an unparalleled fighting spirit, and his spirit and energy were completely on fire.
He didn't waste any words and used all his strength to execute his killing move.
He raised his hand.
In his Great Dao Field, white blade qi surged as thousands and thousands of them appeared. They were densely packed like a purgatory of sharp blades.
The sharp and domineering, unparalleled blade art was being reflected at this moment.
Lin Xun walked in it, as if he was strolling into a sea of fire and keen edges. Everywhere around him was filled with white blade qi.
The blade qi resembled purgatory, wanting to cut people into pieces and trap them in it.
If it were someone else in the same realm, they would have been unable to resist it long ago.
However, Lin Xun seemed incredibly calm. With every move he made, wisps of sword qi emerged, defeating all the multi-directional attacks one by one.
That sword qi came from the Taixuan Sword Scripture.
The power of the dao imprinted in the sword qi was the embodiment of Lin Xun's art!
Bang, bang, bang!
Collision sounds resounded, as if a peerless blade master and a peerless sword master were fighting, shocking all who saw it.
"Good!"
Gao Lingtian's eyes became more and more fiery like the scorching sun.
Only such a powerful opponent could allow him to fully stimulate the potential within him. Furthermore, he could release it completely and to his content.
He took a deep breath and suddenly howled loudly, "My blade is like the Dao!"
Then his Great Dao Field turned into an endless prison full of blades, and the unparalleled blade qi torrent showed an indestructible and unrivaled momentum, piercing the nine heavens and ten earths.
At this moment, Gao Lingtian had gone crazy and wild!
He was crazy about blades and wild about the fight. How many people in the world are like me?
Lin Xun was surprised by his demeanor. This guy's resolute pursuit of the dao of the blade was definitely the craziest he had ever seen since he had started cultivating.
Lin Xun was not careless at this moment.
In fact, he thought that he had to respect an opponent as rare as the guy in front of him, so...
He also used his true power.
Buzz!
A grain of sand transformed until it was like a world. It then condensed into the Seal of All Beings, and a vast ancient aura spread throughout Blade Chant Purgatory in an instant.
Then, the unrivaled white blade qi torrent became stained with a layer of turbid loess.
Indistinctly, the pious chanting of all living beings resounded.
Boom!
The Seal of All Beings fell, and the endless blade qi torrents that were everywhere immediately broke and exploded before scattering like rain!
Boom!
Blade Chant Purgatory was regarded by Gao Lingtian as the foundation of his blade dao, but it instantly trembled violently.
At the same time, Gao Lingtian was hit. His face turned pale, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face, "Is this your real power?"
It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that he had been wrong before because he had never seen the other party's true strength from the very beginning!
"I guess so,” Lin Xun said casually.
Boom!
As soon as his response fell, under the pressure of the Seal of All Beings, the Great Dao Field that was praised by many of the older generation was broken.
At this moment, the blade qi in the sky turned into a violent and chaotic torrent and spread suddenly on the ring.
If there had not been an ancient and forbidden formation surrounding the arena, then once it spread out, it would definitely cause an unimaginable disaster.
"Oh heavens!"
"Broken? Gao Lingtian's Great Dao Field... How could it be broken?"
"Impossible!"
The experts who had been paying close attention to this duel were shocked at this moment, and many people stood up and screamed.
In fact, this scene was too incredible. No one had thought that someone could escape from the Great Dao Field, Blade Chant Purgatory.
"This..."
Tao Songting's expression froze, and he was a little restless. This result also surprised him.
"This Jin Duyi is really unexpected. People have to admire him..." Madam Yu sighed as her beautiful eyes twinkled.
Hong Yu was relieved.
This was Jin Duyi, a peerless figure who had once shocked all the higher ups in Xuanji Dao Sect. Since he was just fighting Gao Lingtian, how could he possibly lose?
At this moment, almost everyone in the audience was drawn in by this scene, and their hearts trembled.
Bang!
In the arena, Gao Lingtian staggered to the ground amidst the smoke and dust.
His clothes were tattered, his hair was disheveled, and on his pale and transparent face were blood stains at the corners of his lips. However, he seemed unaware of this as his eyes fixedly stared straight ahead.
Lin Xun stood there, spotless, as calm and peaceful as before.
"I lost... I am convinced..."
After a while, Gao Lingtian wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and sighed.
"Your dao is crazy and wild, but very good." Lin Xun knew that Gao Lingtian's blade dao had inspired him. In fact, it reminded him of the Sacred Combat Art that he had sometimes forgotten about.
This supreme fighting method had been inherited from one his senior brothers, and he had always used it to improve his combat power.
However, he had never thought about whether he could also integrate this art into his own Great Dao Field.
Clang!
Gao Lingtian put away his weapon and clasped his fists towards Lin Xun, "Jin Duyi, you are the first to defeat my Great Dao Field. In the future, I will try my best not to let this happen again."
After that, he jumped down the ring. His tall and thin figure looked simultaneously extremely cool and lonely.
In the arena, Lin Xun now became the only focus of the audience.
This was his fourth victory. Although he performed well before, he did not receive as much attention as other dazzling figures in the stadium.
However, since he had defeated Gao Lingtian, he suddenly caught the attention of all the spectators.
Jin Duyi!
He was a powerful figure who had come out like a dark horse!
Just a moment later, a cry of surprise rang out, "Gao Lingtian...broke through after the battle!?"
"Really?!"
All of a sudden, many old monsters were startled, and their eyes that were originally focused on Lin Xun all looked toward one place.
Gao Lingtian, who had originally been leaving, suddenly stopped and sat cross-legged on the ground as if he had instantly comprehended something. Layers of mysterious light rippled from him.
It could be seen with the naked eye that the aura around him was surging like a river after a downpour of rain!
"From an advanced stage supreme Saint-King, he has reached the perfect level in one leap!"
Tao Songting's eyes lit up, and he revealed his admiration, "This Gao Lingtian is indeed a genius in the way of the blade."
"It can only be said that Jin Duyi gave him the opportunity to break through,” Hong Yu interjected calmly.
Tao Songting suddenly felt annoyed. He keeps talking about Jin Duyi. Does Hong Yu really intend to go against me?
Gao Lingtian's breakthrough shocked the whole audience.
He was also the only peerless figure who had miraculously achieved enlightenment and a breakthrough after being defeated during a selection round of the Dao Debate Contest.
Chu Qiu, Gu Jianxing, Zhuo Fengying and the other young experts all had different expressions on their faces.
At their level, it was almost impossible to make further progress in their cultivation through hard work alone.
A breakthrough required opportunities and insights!
Obviously, the duel with Jin Duyi was a chance for Gao Lingtian, and he had successfully seized it and broke through!
Therefore, at this moment, Chu Qiu and the others had already unconsciously attached some sort of importance to Lin Xun and regarded him as an opponent that could not be ignored.
"This battle was wonderful!"
Many people shouted excitedly.
An unexpectedly powerful Jin Duyi and a well-known Gao Lingtian had staged a dramatic battle. The unexpected result of the fight was definitely the biggest surprise today.
"Is it too late to bet on Jin Duyi now..."
Some crazy gamblers within the audience couldn't help but be tempted.
However, the focus of the spectators was soon occupied by the battles on other stages.
Because not long after Lin Xun defeated Gao Lingtian, Chu Qiu successfully defeated his tenth opponent and became the first peerless expert to win ten consecutive battles since the start of the first round of selections!
Undoubtedly, he had the qualifications to enter the second round!
As a result, the entire audience shifted their attention to Chu Qiu, and everyone was astonished.
"Seniors, can I continue to accept challenges?"
On the ring, Chu Qiu spoke in a loud and resounding voice that reached the entire audience.
"Yes."
Tao Songting and others looked at each other, and none of them refused his request because the rules did not stipulate that after winning ten consecutive victories, they could not continue to fight.
"Oh heavens, what is Chu Qiu going to do?"
"He must want to take this opportunity to challenge his own limits!"
"But in this way, the other cultivators will have fewer opportunities to seek ten consecutive victories. After all, there are only three days..."
The whole audience was in an uproar and talked endlessly.
"Is Chu Qiu unwilling to be overshadowed by Jin Duyi..."
Gu Jianxing's eyebrows showed a hint of coldness.
Not long after, he also defeated his tenth opponent and became the second expert to win ten consecutive victories. However, the attention he received was not as sensational as Chu Qiu's.
This made him feel a little displeased, and he immediately said, "Seniors, after ten consecutive victories, can one continue to challenge other stages?"
As soon as this was said, the whole audience looked at him strangely. Then they couldn’t help from becoming excited as they had realized that Gu Jianxing was also not willing to stop after obtaining ten consecutive victories. He wanted to continue to show off!
Obviously, he was serious about competing with Chu Qiu!
Tao Songting, Madam Yu, Hong Yu and other seven judges in the assessment seats were also surprised. After a brief discussion, they finally agreed.
"Yes!"
