Chapter 460
Chapter 460: Chapter 93: Crushing Decay the First Game Chapter 460: Chapter 93: Crushing Decay the First Game The first round in White Jade Capital, Qiu Changtian was matched against Bi Sheng.
Bi Sheng, a regular in the top ten of the Shushan Immortal Sword Ranking, typically oscillated between the sixth and eighth ranks.
From the difficulty of breaking into the top five, it was evident that Bi Sheng’s strength still fell short when compared to the likes of Lin Duanshan, with the main factor being her “impatience.”
Once her opponent adopted a tactic of grinding down her patience, Bi Sheng would often rush to attack, inadvertently exposing flaws… If she couldn’t change this aspect of her temperament, her achievements in the path of swordsmanship would ultimately be limited.
However, Qiu Changtian did not plan to confront Bi Sheng with the circling tactics used by other formidable Shushan warriors.
He decided to continue with a swift and decisive approach, to dominate decisively!
As the two had no prior acquaintance, there was none of the pre-match chitchat.
The moment the match started, Bi Sheng immediately initiated Man-Sword Unity, with her sword light surging dozens of feet in an instant!
Good!
Qiu Changtian was also invigorated.
There was nothing wrong with Bi Sheng’s tactical choice.
Considering Qiu Changtian’s abundant, even excessive True Yuan, only a fool would engage in a war of attrition with him.
She had to go all out with her strongest moves from the start!
If even those couldn’t take him down, it would mean the disparity in strength was indeed too great, and she could simply concede-saving both time and effort.

Facing the massive green sword light ahead, Qiu Changtian calmly lifted his hand to command the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword, pouring rich True Yuan into it, before slashing mightily straight ahead.
???G?.??
A sound like the heavens shattering and earth splitting echoed as the colliding Tianyuan Yiqi Sword and green sword light were both forcefully repelled dozens of feet away.
With an unperturbed expression, Qiu Changtian quickly stabilized the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword, while the green sword light dissipated instantly, revealing the pale, grievously injured Bi Sheng.
This was the downside of Man-Sword Unity.
Since force is mutual, once an offensive is brute-force disrupted head-on, one must endure a shock as great as the attack itself.
The Flying Sword could certainly withstand this damage, as it was forged of metal, but a Sword Immortal merged with their sword would suffer.
Even an exceedingly robust Sword Immortal like Senior Sister An, who would vomit blood after crashing into Qingcheng Mountain, how could Bi Sheng withstand it?
One saw her forcefully keeping her composure, as if enduring immense pain, and Qiu Changtian frowned as he said to himself,
“Spit it out!
Spit it out!”
Before he had finished the third “spit it out,” Bi Sheng could no longer hold back and vomited a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering severe internal injuries.
Without a change in expression, Qiu Changtian once again commanded the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword.
Seeing this, Bi Sheng swallowed an Elixir and again forced Man-Sword Unity, using the speed boost from her big move to dodge the attack of the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword.
Are you serious?
Activating your big move again while still recovering from internal injuries?
Qiu Changtian sighed internally, continuing his pursuit with the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword, while Bi Sheng struggled to evade, not daring to take another hit.
A single hit had nearly cost her half her life; how could she dare take a second one?
It appeared that Bi Sheng’s sole hope lay in delaying time to find an opening for a lethal strike-the likely only chance for her to turn the tables.
However, would he give her that opportunity?
Qiu Changtian sighed and swung his sleeve again, launching a strike of Tai Yi Thunder.
Tai Yi Thunder wasn’t strong in single-target fortification, but its range of damage was immense, controlled within the confines of the White Jade Capital plaza by the True Yuan input Qiu Changtian moderated.
Following another thunderous boom, the lightning engulfed the entire field, leaving no place to hide.
Divine Thunder struck Bi Sheng’s sword light hard, forcibly ending her Man-Sword Unity state.
As her body was flung through the air, the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword pierced through her directly.
And then, she was reborn on the White Jade Capital plaza.
“Kunlun, Qiu Changtian, wins!”
The mechanical voice announced and the surrounding area once again erupted with cheers.
But this time, the crowd was not only cheering for Qiu Changtian but also applauding Bi Sheng.
This Shushan Sword Immortal had demonstrated the unyielding spirit of Shushan to the fullest by fighting against Chief Qiu to such an extent.
No matter what, never giving up always commands respect.
Bi Sheng had reached her limit, defeat was not her fault, the main issue was that Chief Qiu was too strong!
Qiu Changtian left the arena with composure, and this time not only did Kunlun disciples gaze at him with admiration, but even the Shushan disciples looked at him with a mixture of respect and awe.
Very good, the reputation of the invincible character setting began to spread to Shushan now.
One day, all cultivators in the Cultivation Realm will be contributing to my Synchronization Value!
Though gravely injured, Bi Sheng did not hurry to leave.
She just took a few elixirs first, then with a complex look in her eyes, she stared at the disappearing figure of Qiu Changtian.
Is this the might of the great Chief of Kunlun?
An extreme force to conquer the strong, even if we consider what Senior Sister An said…
When Qiu Changtian reached the outskirts of the arena, he saw the surrounding Kunlun disciples all wearing proud expressions as if sharing in the glory.
“How was it?” Xu Yinglian asked him, “I think that Shushan Sword Immortal has potential, it’s just that she’s weaker in several aspects.”
“Her main issue is the lack of a final, decisive attack,” Qiu Changtian said calmly, “Once her strongest Man-Sword Unity was broken, she had no move to turn the tables.”
His gaze turned to the crowd as he seriously said:
“Amidst the variety of swordsmanship and spells, one should not only seek depth but also breadth.
If you only focus on one method of attack, what can you use to break through when you are unable to overpower your opponent with a head-on collision?”
“We shall take heed,” the Kunlun disciples replied respectfully, although they were speechless inside.
Chief, even in Shushan where you excel most in swordsmanship, you can still crush your opponent with swordsmanship alone.
What chance would anyone stand against such overwhelming power, and what counter-strategy could they possibly have?
“That is true,” Xu Yinglian said with a frown, “but with the condition most junior brothers and sisters are in, they have to exert all their efforts just to seek depth, let alone having the time and energy to pursue breadth.”
The crowd: ………
Is it our fault we lack talent for cultivation?
Do you really need to be so blunt?
Qiu Changtian let out a laugh and said:
“I didn’t make myself clear.
I’m not saying that specializing in a single Daoist Magic is inappropriate.
I’m just reminding everyone that, while meeting your own needs, you can consider diversifying your attack methods appropriately.”
“Of course not,” “The Chief is right,” the Kunlun disciples began to chime in from all directions, anxious not to be misunderstood by Qiu Changtian.
“Who did Junior Sister Xu draw?” Qiu Changtian changed the subject, though he already knew the answer.
“Lin Duanshan,” Xu Yinglian took out the draw sword.
“This person’s swordsmanship is versatile, be careful,” Qiu Changtian continued, “And what of Brother Guan and Brother Yan?”
“Luo Yan,” Guan Zhan said coldly.
“Guan Shanyue,” Yan Zhitui also began to smile wryly.
“Luo Yan has few moves, but from his previous fights, he mainly relies on the magical treasures from his Heavenly Craft Hundred Treasures Bag,” Qiu Changtian feigned ignorance, “Brother Guan might consider a fast attack, not giving him the chance to take out and activate his magical treasures, or else the outcome is uncertain.”
Guan Zhan, although aloof by nature, knew that the Chief Disciple was correct and nodded slightly.
“As for Brother Yan…” Qiu Changtian pondered for a moment, then said, “If you find yourself outmatched, you may adopt a defensive stance and wait for an opportunity.”
“If you can make Guan Shanyue become negligent and reveal a weakness, there will be a chance to turn defeat into victory.”
His implication was that Yan Zhitui’s overall strength was not on par with Guan Shanyue; he could only hope for the opponent to carelessly expose a flaw.
Yan Zhitui didn’t say much, merely bowing deeply:
“I will take the lesson to heart, brother.”
