I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 572 Encirclement

Long Aotian's giant sword drew closer.

Jiang He's black hair was blown up by the wind and scattered messily to her side. She raised her spirit sword to block, and the two swords faced each other in the air above their heads.

The swords didn't clash, but a long river of spiritual energy flowed between them. In the collision of spiritual power, Long Aotian's eyes were resolute as he raised his head:

"break!"

The sword's position changed, and the river shifted.

Long Aotian moved forward step by step on the ground.

In contrast, Jiang He was forced to retreat step by step by the sword energy.

Jiang He's feet sparked as she touched the ground, and her shoes were soaked with blood.

She didn't have time to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. Jiang He braced herself against the ground, and gradually, the sharp sword energy followed the wind, leaving many bloody marks on her face.

Jiang He knew she couldn't continue this head-on confrontation.

She swiftly put the sword into her mustard pouch.

The moment the sword fell, the location of Jiang Heling's sword, which was also the location of Long Aotian's Heaven-Reaching Sword, moved rapidly.

The stalemate was broken, which meant that the balance between the two was lost.

The Heaven-Piercing Sword overwhelmingly cut through the air and headed straight for Jiang He's position.

The vacuum disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of sword energy.

Shangguan Linghu, standing below the stage, silently worried for Jiang He.

By moving the spirit sword aside and taking the brunt of Long Aotian's sword strike alone, unless Jiang He is fast enough, she simply cannot withstand this sword strike.

After all, the speed of the Heaven-Piercing Sword is too fast...

Blood Alliance Kongji watched the two fight without a change in expression. He believed that Jiang He could dodge.

The truth is just as Kongji had imagined.

Jiang He barely dodged Long Aotian's full-force attack. Where she had been standing, the ground cracked and the soil inside surged out, clearly demonstrating the power of Long Aotian's sword strike.

Xiao Xiao from the Hehuan Sect secretly watched the competition. She was a magic cultivator, and Jiang He was also a magic cultivator. It was inevitable that the two would meet.

On the ranking list of cultivators, Kong Ji, Jiang He, and An Yi of Lingyun Sect are all her rivals.

Kong Ji's cultivation level is inferior to hers, so this battle will be easier for him, but Jiang He...

She simply couldn't understand it. Jiang He not only participated in the Sword Cultivator Ranking but also the Magic Cultivator Ranking, and now she even occupied the top three positions on both rankings. If she wanted to take the top spot, she would have to get past Jiang He first.

So Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to go to the sword training ground to watch the duel between Jiang He and Long Aotian.

I watched it for quite a while.

Xiao Xiao suddenly realized that if she really encountered Jiang He, the battle situation might be much more severe than she had anticipated.

Long Aotian's sword cleaved the earth, and Jiang He flew from the ground into space.

Inevitably, she was affected by the sword energy, and a deep, bone-revealing wound appeared on her wrist.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a prodigy.

Jiang He sighed inwardly, ignoring the pain in her wound, and swiftly unleashed a sword strike.

Jiang He's spirit sword slashed at Long Aotian, and another spirit sword formed from spiritual energy came from behind Long Aotian, the two swords attacking from both sides, forming an encirclement.

Jiang He looked at Long Aotian, her tattered clothes fluttering in the air. She lightly pressed her thumb and forefinger together, and a clear, pure sound landed.

Long Aotian stumbled and hurriedly dodged to the side. A sword emerged from the ground, and except for the air above, Long Aotian was almost completely surrounded by the sword.

The three swords formed a pincer attack. Jiang He bent over, and a sudden gust of wind arose from the sword energy. Her fingers touched the ground, and with her other hand, she decisively summoned another spirit sword:

"Encircle".

As soon as Jiang He finished speaking, the sword flew into the sky, forming a sword-shaped cage.

There were only four swords, but they formed a cage around Long Aotian, and a chill emanated from him.

Just when I thought Hongmu was about to leave the stage, she escaped and even set up a trap, simultaneously performing three spiritual energy transformations. I must say, Hongmu's spiritual veins are incredibly vast.

The two drew their swords in the blink of an eye; it's truly hard to imagine who would win.

If Hongmu had planned ahead and managed to avoid being discovered by Long Aotian, I feel like it's a sure thing.

I don't think so. Hongmu was severely injured once, so his strength should have decreased.

Wow, those two are fighting so fiercely! I see blood flowing from Hongmu's feet and face.

Holy crap, it really is! That face must have been injured by sword energy.

The sword cultivators here really don't hold back when they fight, unlike the magic cultivators who have to chant before unleashing their ultimate moves.

But watching fight like this is so exciting, it feels like every punch lands on you.

Yes, I love watching the matches featuring body cultivators and sword cultivators the most. There's not so much intrigue and backstabbing, just pure fighting.

Hey, hey, hey, who are you calling scheming against each other?

Haha, of course I'm talking about you Falun Gong practitioners. You can secretly set up several different traps.

Long Aotian is in danger now. If I were to go on stage, I really wouldn't be able to avoid it.

I can't avoid it, I really wanted to skip ahead. I should have known better than to watch it now, it's making me so excited.

Long Aotian's sword strike should have already damaged Hongmu. Their strength is evenly matched; now it depends on who makes a mistake or can't hold on.

Stop talking. After watching the scene for so long, the footage is still not clear at all. This area happens to be sandy, and when the wind blows, it's all covered in sand, completely obscuring the screen. The two people fighting also blocked the camera.

The equipment in the live stream was fine, the picture was quite clear, but I was a little surprised, it seemed like the whole ground was shaking. Did anyone else feel the camera was shaky?

Yes, I specifically turned on the highest graphics settings and recorded the screen to watch this match, but the screen kept shaking. StarCraft's image stabilization technology is still a bit lacking; the shaking really affected my viewing experience.

[Chatting paused, I'm going to watch the live stream.]

Heng and his party glanced at Jiang He and then at Long Aotian. This move was quite impressive.

"I don't know how you'll break this deadlock. Once the sword energy intensifies, it will directly annihilate you within it. You're ready to fight anytime soon, and you're not holding back at all when it comes to a fight."

"I know," Long Aotian replied to Heng Yixing in his mind.

He can break free from these shackles.

But the final result will undoubtedly be disastrous.

Thinking it over, Long Aotian didn't dodge and charged straight into the sword cage.

He blocked a sword that was aimed at him with the greatsword in his hand.

When Long Aotian touched the spirit sword created by Jiang He's spiritual energy, his arm went slightly numb, and the icy coldness slowed down the speed at which he swung the sword.

Seeing that the buried swords had surrounded Long Aotian, Jiang He decided to press her advantage and pursue him.

With a wave of her hand, three more swords appeared.

As Jiang He continued to create things, her spiritual energy was greatly depleted.

And this sword was aimed directly at Long Aotian, who had just broken through the sword cage.

On this side, Long Aotian had just broken through an opening when his clothes were torn to shreds by the swords. Even so, he still straightened his back and faced the three swords that shot towards him.

Long Aotian did not relax; he kept his arms taut, ignoring the many wounds on them.

He stared at the trajectory of the spirit sword, and then the giant sword stood upright. A wave of sword energy traveled to the front of the Heavenly Sword. He pressed down hard on the hilt to prevent the giant sword from shaking.

In the decisive battle between sword energies, both men wore cold, cautious expressions.

They stared at each other, their eyes filled with a sharp glint.
