Novel Full Chapter 434
Chapter 434: Chapter 67 Senior Sister An’s Overwhelming Game Chapter 434: Chapter 67 Senior Sister An’s Overwhelming Game The top twelve of the White Jade Capital had been determined.
If modern business thinking were applied, there would definitely be an award ceremony first, followed by a deep dive into the personal branding of each person.
Finally, a series of endorsement deals would be arranged to recoup the costs.
Unfortunately, whether it was Kunlun, Shushan, or Penglai, none of them had such commercial thoughts.
Or perhaps everyone thought that since the top twelve of the White Jade Capital had been decided, the title of the twelve righteous talents would naturally spread throughout the world.
Therefore, before the disciples had much time to discuss, the internal competition among the top twelve swiftly commenced.
Drawing lots!
Twelve drawn swords shot out of the container, and everyone used their Sword Control Heart Method to capture the flying swords in their hands.
Soon, as all the drawn swords were claimed, the jade list on the White Jade Capital’s plaza quickly revealed the first round of matchups:
Qiu Changtian versus Bi Sheng.
An Zhisu versus Duan Fenhai.
Ling Yunpo versus Shi Liuli.
Xu Yinglian versus Lin Duanshan.
Luo Yan versus Guan Zhan.

Guan Shanyue versus Yan Zhitui.
Aside from two whose facial expressions weren’t too good, the rest looked fairly calm.
After all, the cultivators who could make it to the top twelve had few “loopholes” to exploit among the weak.
Unless one faced the likes of Qiu Changtian or An Zhisu right at the start, most people could accept their match-ups-like Duan Fenhai and Bi Sheng, who were considered pitiable but helpless cases.
The six battles wouldn’t be held simultaneously but would take place one after the other in the center of the vast White Jade Capital plaza, facilitating viewing by cultivators from all three sects.
Some people flew on their swords while others rode on flying artifacts, hovering in the air around the plaza.
Qiu Changtian and Bi Sheng stood at the center of the plaza, ready to compete.
As for Qiu Changtian’s battle, Ling Yunpo wasn’t planning to watch.
He knew that the more details he saw, the more he would have to reproduce in the future, and he wasn’t about to make life harder for himself.
So he suggested taking a stroll nearby, and An Zhisu had no objections…
The senior sister also didn’t want to watch Qiu Changtian’s match, especially since Bi Sheng was unlikely to win against him.
The two arrived at a higher pavilion and suddenly saw Duan Fenhai flying past on his sword.
“What is Senior Brother Duan doing?” Ling Yunpo greeted him, “Why aren’t you watching the battle?”
Duan Fenhai simply controlled his sword light without landing, saying:
“Ah, just wandering around.
I’ve seen Qiu Changtian’s battles many times before.
???g?.??
There’s no suspense in this result, and I won’t meet him in the next rounds anyway, so why bother watching?”
Ling Yunpo understood his meaning; after all, once he lost to An Zhisu in the next match, he would fall into the loser’s group of seventh to twelfth place, while Qiu Changtian would move into the winner’s group from first to sixth place, indeed having no chance to clash with him.
But that’s okay, Senior Brother Duan, you have the chance to face my Senior Sister An!
Since you’re going to receive a beating either way, why care who your opponent is?
Duan Fenhai, unaware of Ling Yunpo’s thoughts, simply waved his hand in midair before turning back towards the plaza.
Ling Yunpo, about to speak to An Zhisu, suddenly saw the drawn sword in the senior sister’s hand light up, slipping from her grasp and flying towards the direction of the White Jade Capital plaza.
That was fast!
Hasn’t even been five minutes, right?
Ling Yunpo was utterly astonished, never expecting that I, Qiu Changtian, would be so strong!
He quickly rose on his sword, following An Zhisu to the plaza.
There he saw Duan Fenhai just descending from the plaza, his face full of helplessness as he clasped his hands in resignation.
The competition began, and Duan Fenhai immediately used the Heavenly Wind Sword to fend off An Zhisu’s attack, activating the Daoist magic on the Cangtie Sword.
Suddenly, countless stars burst forth like a barrage, shooting toward An Zhisu, that for a moment, they covered the entire arena, leaving no possibility of escape!
Another crimson sword light surged forth as An Zhisu unified her body with her sword.
The sword light pierced through the countless starry projectiles and ferociously struck toward Duan Fenhai.
Seeing this, Duan Fenhai was left without a choice, after all, he wasn’t arrogant enough to think that he could defend against the Weed-Cutting Sword Immortal’s powerful move with ordinary swordplay; his only option was to also unify his body with the Cangtie Sword and unleash a similarly explosive iron-colored sword light to forcefully meet the crimson sword light head-on!
These two sword lights collided directly, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire venue.
No one expected that the two Shushan cultivators would go all out from the start.
The crimson sword light clashed again with the iron-colored sword light, and after being shaken by the powerful force, they diverted and then viciously struck again.
The sound of metal clashing was incessant, nearly forming a continuous roar of “thunder.”
To a layman, the spectacle was exciting, but to an expert, the technique was clear.
Ling Yunpo locked his eyes on the two sword lights, confirming that whether it was the force of the strike or the speed of recovery after being repelled, the crimson sword light was always one step ahead of the iron-colored sword light.
At such terrifying speeds, magical treasures and Daoist magic…
all lost their significance; there simply was no time to activate them.
Knowing he was outmatched, Duan Fenhai could only forcefully hold on, since using Unity of Body and Sword to fight was equivalent to slow suicide.
But not using it meant an immediate defeat, leaving him with very little choice.
“This is truly frightening,” Lin Duanshan, who appeared beside Ling Yunpo at some point, said in amazement, “The last time it was Qiu Changtian who overwhelmingly prevailed with strength, and now it’s Senior Sister An’s turn to effortlessly triumph.
Could there really be an insurmountable gap between her and us?”
“Isn’t that the case?” Ling Yunpo said with a laugh, “If the gap in cultivation realms could be easily bridged by technique, then what would be the point of Qi Refinement?”
“But, isn’t Senior Sister An practicing the same Qi Refining Technique as us?” Lin Duanshan couldn’t help but laugh ruefully, “It couldn’t be because her father is Qi Sha True Person, so she naturally refines Qi faster than us, could it?”
Heh, it’s not that.
She is cultivating the “Supreme Sun and Moon Primordial Classic,” while what you’re practicing is a castrated version of the “Supreme Primordial True Record”.
These two are not Qi Refining Techniques of the same level at all!
Ling Yunpo inwardly sneered, as he saw the outcome on the stage finally determined.
The crimson sword light grew several lengths in an instant and struck the iron-colored sword light out of the arena with a single blow.
Duan Fenhai’s body slammed heavily into the edge of the square, and the Cangtie Sword was blasted away, injuring several onlooking disciples who had no time to dodge.
“Shushan’s An Zhisu wins!” A mechanical voice sounded around the Jade List.
There was silence around for a moment before it suddenly burst into an uproar of noise.
The voices were all whispers and mutters, completely unintelligible as to what everyone was discussing.
“I just heard a few Kunlun disciples saying,” Guan Shanyue, who appeared out of nowhere, laughed and said, “An Zhisu is probably the only one in this competition who can challenge Qiu Changtian.”
“Is that so.” Ling Yunpo smiled faintly.
Sorry.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
As Qiu Changtian, I am invincible, whether it’s Xu Yinglian, An Zhisu, or even you, Sister Guan…
either you won’t encounter me, or you will and then you’ll be defeated by me.
There is no third possibility!
“What are you still standing there for?” Guan Shanyue asked curiously, “It’s your turn!”
“Oh right.
Off I go.” Ling Yunpo hurriedly descended via his sword light.
Shi Liuli had already taken the lead and was standing in the square, her eyes widened as she looked at him, seemingly still doubting-as if she was pondering where she had seen him before and where that familiar sense of déjà vu came from.
“Cultivator Shi?” Ling Yunpo greeted with a clasped fist.
“Hmm, hmm.” Shi Liuli replied absentmindedly, seemingly lost in her own thoughts.
Still suspecting me, huh?
Alright, then.
I’ll soon have you so occupied that you won’t have the time to wonder!
