Chapter 1406: Chapter 1406: Jian Wushuang’s Decision

Bang bang~

Several loud explosions, the sword aura shattered inch by inch in the void, an infinite force fell upon Xiao Yifeng’s body.

Pfft pfft pfft~

The next second, Xiao Yifeng seemed unable to withstand the suppression of the power within the punch, spewing out mouthfuls of crimson blood, his complexion pale and ugly.

"Before the fist aura even arrived, Xiao Yifeng was already seriously injured. How strong is his power?" The people on the ancient path were all in shock, even Lihen Heaven, Profound Emperor, and Li Yuan, these peerless geniuses, showed a trace of surprise.

Clearly, they were also moved by Li Fei’s power.

"Get down!" Li Fei shouted explosively, a palm fell, breaking through all of Xiao Yifeng’s defenses, the fist aura directly suppressing Xiao Yifeng’s body.

Immediately, Xiao Yifeng’s body fell from the battle stage like a kite with a broken string, fainting on the spot.

Huff!

Seeing this, many people took a deep breath.

Who could have thought, when Xuan Hao challenged Xiao Tianyu earlier, he was killed by Bai Bufan’s long halberd, and now this Xiao Yifeng is suppressed by Li Fei’s power. It feels like if you want to challenge Xiao Tianyu, you must first step over the bodies of Li Fei and Bai Bufan.

However, after two battles, it seems very difficult to step over them.

After all, Xiao Yifeng from the Profound Emperor Hall is already terrifying enough, yet he still can’t take down the two in front of Xiao Tianyu.

Directly challenging Xiao Tianyu is even more impossible.

As the battle continued, fewer and fewer people remained on the battlefield. Of course, with the survival of the fittest, those left were more outstanding. Sadly, the Profound Emperor Hall had already had two peerless geniuses eliminated, and one was even killed, leaving only Profound Emperor and Ouyang Tian.

It seemed that Ouyang Tian and Profound Emperor were much more honest, not deliberately challenging in the next few battles, instead becoming targets themselves.

As for Lihen Heaven, he did not take action either.

His situation was the same as Xiao Tianyu’s, anyone heading towards Lihen Heaven was defeated by Shang Tong and Qiao Yu beside him.

The Palace Master from the Primordial Saint Palace, Li Yuan, was the same. Beside him were Li Cang and Li He, both of whom held the purest royal bloodline of the Great Li Dynasty with extremely strong bloodline power.

Coupled with Celestial Spirit Realm Dao Intent, they seemed to sweep across the battlefield, their opponents being overwhelmingly crushed, giving Li Yuan a better chance to gain the Golden Hall inheritance.

Gradually, the second round of battles ended.

On the battle stage, only Lihen Heaven, Li Yuan, Li He, Li Cang, Shang Tong, Qiao Yu, the Nine Provinces City Lord, Jian Wushuang, Chu Tiancheng, Yan Nanfei, Profound Emperor, Ouyang Tian, Li Fei, Bai Bufan, and Xiao Tianyu...fifteen people remained.

These fifteen people were naturally all peerless figures.

However, Li Yuan, Lihen Heaven, Profound Emperor, and Xiao Tianyu had not taken any action from beginning to end.

It seemed they all wanted to greet the final battle in their most peak condition.

In fact, everyone was wrong. Xiao Tianyu had never intended to make a move from start to finish.

"The rules remain the same, free challenge!" The voice of the white-haired old man in the void was vigorous, without imposing any new rule other than prohibiting a person from being challenged consecutively.

There really were no other requirements.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang’s gaze fell onto the Nine Provinces City Lord, his eyes as sharp as a sword, challenging anyone.

Feeling Jian Wushuang’s gaze as sharp as a sword upon him, the Nine Provinces City Lord felt as if being stared down by a fierce beast, his body trembling.

Just one look from his opponent instilled a sense of fear in him.

"Come out!" Jian Wushuang spoke coldly, even his voice seemed to carry a vast amount of sword qi.

Of course, being a part of one of the top ten forces, the Nine Provinces City surely couldn’t refuse battle, and what’s more, Jian Wushuang, a rising genius with no ranking on the Ancient Realm List, made a name for himself in one battle and was thusly appointed Vice Sect Leader of the Juechen Sword Sect.

If he refused to battle such a person, how could he continue to walk in the martial world later?

Moreover, he also desired the palace inheritance.

Thus, he spoke to Jian Wushuang: "Please, enlighten me!"

Saying this, the Nine Provinces City Lord walked out slowly, each step emanating formidable aura, the pressure of the great Dao spreading from his feet, the clear footsteps echoing in the ears of those present, yet predicting the outcome of this battle proved truly difficult.

Jian Wushuang, although a Vice Sect Leader of the Juechen Sword Sect, had no significant ranking on the Ancient Realm List. As for his background, no one knew it, people only knew that a few months ago, during the Ghost Cave Road, he ascended the top by stepping the Ghost Cave Thirteen Steps with indomitable will.

Anyone who could take those thirteen steps couldn’t be underestimated.

Hiss!

A hugely powerful sword qi manifested, Jian Wushuang’s aura suddenly transformed, standing there like an unrivaled sword.

His long hair fluttered, handsome in appearance, yet an extremely cold atmosphere lingered between his brows, as if he was born a cold and indifferent person.

As for his sword, even colder; with the sword drawn, it sealed the world in ice.

"Kill!" Feeling threatened by Jian Wushuang’s aura, the Nine Provinces City Lord couldn’t help but roar, his destructive aura rising, and he thrust his hand forward, the void-like Great Hand Seal bursting forth immediately.

The might of the Dao, destroying everything.

Jian Nanxing’s deep eyes remained calm.

As the hand seal approached, his sword light flashed, an icy sword qi howling forth, in an instant, the battlefield fell with thick snow, wherever the sword qi passed, everything was sealed in ice.

In the next moment, under the eyes of many, they saw the Nine Provinces City Lord’s hand seal being completely frozen.

Jian Wushuang seized the moment, the longsword slashing down from the heavens, cold ice Dao Intent bursting forth, contained within the longsword.

Before the sword arrived, the Nine Provinces City Lord seemed to feel his heart frozen, stopping in its tracks.

"Break!" The Nine Provinces City Lord suddenly roared, bang bang bang~ the ice cracked, the next second he felt a shroud of death enclose upon him, just as he reacted, Jian Wushuang’s longsword arrived at his throat.

"You’ve lost!" Jian Wushuang’s voice was cold.

The Nine Provinces City Lord’s eyes revealed a trace of dimness, he had expected if he would lose, it should be just by a margin, narrowly losing to Jian Wushuang, but he hadn’t expected such a straightforward defeat.

Thereupon, the Nine Provinces City Lord lifted his steps and walked off the battlefield.

"What exquisite Sword Intent!" From this battle, everyone’s impression of Jian Wushuang changed completely, after all, the Nine Provinces City Lord was one of the top ten geniuses on the Ancient Realm List, yet he lost so neatly here.

Jian Wushuang is definitely a formidable dark horse; whether he can fight to the end depends on his fortune.

"What is he planning?"

At this moment, many people were astonished to find Jian Wushuang did not rest but instead stepped towards the direction of the Profound Emperor Hall, was he going to challenge the experts of the Profound Emperor Hall?

It was well known, the Juechen Sword Sect and the Profound Emperor Hall had a good relationship, yet why would Jian Wushuang choose to challenge someone from the Profound Emperor Hall before the end, what’s the reason?

Even Chu Tiancheng and Yan Nanfei from within the Juechen Sword Sect were taken aback.

So they asked: "Vice Sect Leader, what is this about?"

Logically, the Juechen Sword Sect should join forces with the Profound Emperor Hall to fend off enemies before the final showdown, but Jian Nanxing seemed determined to provoke the Profound Emperor Hall.

"I’m no longer a Vice Sect Leader of the Juechen Sword Sect!" Jian Wushuang’s voice was indifferent, leaving many speechless. What did this mean, had he decided to leave the Juechen Sword Sect?
