Chapter 573 Who wins?
An atmosphere of impending doom quietly descended.
Long Aotian flipped over, and three swords flew past his legs.
Immediately afterwards, the spirit sword reversed its direction!
"They've flown back!"
"What a brilliant move of materializing spiritual energy! It's still three swords. If I were Hongmu, I would already be worried about whether my spiritual veins could withstand it."
"Haha, don't worry. It's basically impossible for the Nascent Soul stage to materialize spiritual energy; that's something for the Deity Transformation stage."
"It feels like a knife has been stabbed into my heart, so deeply!"
"Long Aotian's attacks are primarily based on overwhelming force; Hongmu's three sword strikes are clearly intended to kill Long Aotian!"
"Aren't these two from the same sect? Have they really forgotten about fighting? They're practically beating each other to death."
"That's right, so fierce. Several times I felt that Long Aotian was going to be beaten to death by Hongmu."
"This is a sect competition. Doing your best is the only way to show respect to your opponent."
"In terms of swordsmanship alone, Long Aotian is a specialist, while Hongmu's swordsmanship is very mixed and a bit messy, but when combined, it is very powerful."
"Doesn't anyone think that many of Hongmu's sword moves have the shadow of a great master?"
"I can see that. I just don't know which master Hongmu studied swordsmanship under. He can learn so many different styles and still be so proficient. It's not something that can be done just by having talent."
Qi Xun also came to the scene for this sect competition.
He was a teacher at Wanjue Academy, and he was also bringing the academy's students to broaden their horizons. He had been paying attention to Xiaoyao Sect ever since he sat in the audience.
Most of the cultivators in the Xiaoyao Sect came from the Wanjue Academy. Qi Xun, a member of the sect, knew that it was the sect where Bei Mingzi belonged.
In previous years, the number of people from the Xiaoyao Sect in the sect competition was always less than ten. Bei Mingzi never thought of leading a team to participate in the sect competition, so the Xiaoyao Sect faded from everyone's sight since the Great Cataclysm.
Upon returning to the cultivation world, Qi Xun did not know who was leading the team. After searching for information online and observing the live stream, he looked at the female cultivator standing at the front—Hongmu.
After Hongmu entered the arena, every move he made carried the sword intent left behind by the seniors of the Wanjue Academy Sword Field.
More than anything, Qi Xun saw in him the shadow of Dugu Junli's world-renowned sword techniques.
As the principal of Wanjue Academy, Dugu Junli has always been a rogue cultivator. His sword techniques are complex, mostly learned from collected secret manuals, and can be considered a synthesis of the best techniques.
The same goes for Hongmu. Qi Xun looked at the sword intent in the sword arena and was very familiar with it. When he went to the sword arena, he only learned about 70-80% of it. He only learned the moves that the previous students of Wanjue Academy had figured out.
As for the sword techniques added to the Sword Arena by Wanjue Academy, some were supplemented by technology, and others were recorded by Jiang He through his sword enlightenment.
During her year and a half at Wanjue Academy, Jiang He spent almost every day in the sword arena and the trial tower, recording the sword techniques she had learned into the system.
Many of the sword techniques learned by the sword cultivators at Wanjue Academy today are derived from the sword moves recorded by Jiang He.
Because of the inclusion of the basic sword techniques course at Wanjue Academy, sword cultivation once became a popular major among top universities in the national college entrance examination.
The sword cultivator's strength has greatly improved, and he once again won first place in the academy's grand competition a year ago.
Jiang He deserves half the credit for this first place.
Qi Xun frequently watched and studied the sword moves, and now he has broken through his cultivation level, reaching the Refinement stage and successfully comprehending the Dao.
Therefore, he was extremely familiar with the sword techniques used by Hongmu.
Forefathers planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade.
But the more people look at it, the more it resembles the ancestors.
Long Aotian and Jiang He's figures intertwined.
Long Aotian, too, used the figure of the cultivator before him to recall the predecessors.
The spirit sword reversed direction, turning around and piercing Long Aotian's arm.
The audience gasped in surprise.
Jiang He's spirit sword pierced Long Aotian, and her figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Long Aotian's fingertips were unable to move.
He watched as the spirit sword was fiercely drawn.
However, the ice sword melted inside his body, causing Long Aotian's arm to go numb, leaving him with only one usable hand.
Jiang He disappeared and then reappeared behind the other party, the ice sword in her hand shattered into ice shards.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a sharp blade shaped like ice shards!
Long Aotian used his still-conscious hand to lift his numb right hand.
His right hand caught the sharp blade Jiang He had thrown, leaving it covered in numerous knife-like cuts.
Long Aotian stared at Jiang He, then swung his giant sword at his opponent to buy time.
Jiang He had naturally thought of this as well. Her spiritual energy was exhausted, making it difficult for her to withstand the sword strike. But thinking of the ice blade, Jiang He looked straight ahead and conjured an ice sword for the last time. The ice sword appeared, but instead of colliding with Long Aotian's giant sword to block the sword strike, it bypassed the giant sword and slashed towards Long Aotian...
The cold, robotic voice announced the start of the match. Blood trickled down the field, and the spectators outside stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the two players on the field.
"The match is over, Long Aotian versus Hongmu..."
-
"Just like that, you killed them all?"
"Holy crap, this is amazing! I actually went to the Dharma training ground to watch the competition."
"Yes, it was a true, literal killing. When you say it's a sword fight, you mean it. There's no ambiguity. Sword moves flew everywhere the whole time. It was a real treat to watch. I've never seen so many obscure sword moves in my life. It feels like any move can be turned into a killing blow by Hongmu."
"Anything else? Anything else? Tell me more."
"I need to know more details, the kind I need to know right now."
"Don't worry, there are live replays available, it's pretty much the same anyway, we're just watching it on a screen."
"Is it really that good? What you've said makes even a body cultivator like me want to go and see it for myself."
"I recommend starting with the section on spiritual energy materialization."
"There's no difference. Just watch from the beginning, and you'll never guess who won. They're incredibly cool!"
"What do you mean 'handsome'? You're just lying. Those two are really in a terrible state. Seriously, the screen is full of blood. If you watched it in the live stream, it would be all pixelated."
"Huh? What do you mean? Was it very brutal or was the fight too intense?"
"The latter."
"Just listen to me, you can't go wrong watching the live replay. I've seen a lot of people break through to the next level after watching this match."
"I'm really going to go see it because of what you said."
"I feel that Long Aotian and Hongmu still had some strength left, I don't understand why they didn't dodge the final blow."
"Personally, I feel that the two are evenly matched and can fight for at least three days and three nights. The main reason is that the ability of the redwood to materialize spiritual energy is too abnormal. I really didn't expect that the ice blade could be hidden in the ice shards."
"That's right. Who knows the shock of seeing Long Aotian's right hand covered in glass shard-like wounds when the screen was zoomed in? His whole hand was completely useless. It scared me to death."
"There's something I'm not sure if I should say, but after all that talking, I still can't figure out who really won this round."
"Oh right, who's number one on the sword cultivator ranking right now?"
"Just look at the big screen and you'll know."
Did Redwood win?
"No."
