The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1312 - 1310: Martial Arts Competition Begins!

Chapter 1312: Chapter 1310: Martial Arts Competition Begins!

After sitting for a short while, Gu Qingyun stood up, walked to the center of the arena, and said, "I am Gu Qingyun from the Ancient Clan, and today we are hosting the Martial Arts Competition. I believe everyone is already clear on the rules."

"Since that is the case, I shall not waste words!"

After speaking, Gu Qingyun straightforwardly took out a purple-gold token from his Storage Bag and placed it on the prize platform.

When this purple-gold token appeared, all the warriors present exclaimed, their gazes filled with greed!

"Purple Gold City Token!"

"Whoever holds this token may enter Purple Gold City!"

"This is the Qualification Token for the All Nations Disciple Recruitment Conference in Purple Gold City!"

"This is the Qualification Token!"

"How wonderful it would be if I could obtain one?"

Many warriors were longing for it.

Lin Bai watched the purple-gold token, his eyes gleaming with brilliance.

The All Nations Disciple Recruitment Conference is held in a place called "Purple Gold City" within the Azure Dragon Empire.

Purple Gold City is not open to the outside on ordinary days, only opening half a year before the All Nations Disciple Recruitment Conference. At that time, warriors holding the Purple Gold City Token can enter Purple Gold City and thus qualify to participate in the Disciple Recruitment Conference!

Purple Gold City is not territory belonging to the Azure Dragon Empire; it was created by forefathers of the Territory of All Nations, jointly forged by all Martial Arts Sects and experts from the Territory of All Nations, specifically to select outstanding talents from the Great Sects of all nations!

Upon entering Purple Gold City, one’s career flourishes!

After a few glances at the Purple Gold City Token, Lin Bai withdrew his gaze, smiled slightly, and thought that if Gujian Yun does not have any mishaps, this Purple Gold City Token should belong to Lin Bai!

After Gu Qingyun took out the Purple Gold City Token, he smiled and said, "It seems everyone can’t wait any longer, let’s start the Martial Arts Competition."

After saying this, Gu Qingyun retreated to the Spectator Stand, and Gu Hai appeared in the arena to preside over the Martial Arts Competition. Gu Hai announced, "All warriors participating in the Martial Arts Competition, please come forward!"

"This competition is divided into two parts, the Elimination Round and the Final Round!"

"The Elimination Round has divided sixteen battlefields. When you registered for the Martial Arts Competition, the registration token already assigned your battlefield. According to the number on your token, enter the corresponding battlefield."

Gu Hai called out softly.

Immediately, the warriors of the Ancient Clan divided the area into sixteen large circles, encircled by Magic Circles.

"Daddy, I’m going," Gujian Yun said, standing up from her chair upon hearing Gu Hai’s call.

Gu Qingyun advised, "Be careful."

Gujian Yun nodded her head and then looked at Dongfang Bai, asking, "Don’t you have any words for me?"

Lin Bai said, "Don’t disappoint me!"

Gujian Yun nodded, "I will definitely thrash Du Yue! Let him know that Auntie’s bottom hasn’t been beaten in vain these past two months!"

After saying that, Gujian Yun walked towards the first battlefield without looking back!

Hearing the words "beat the bottom," Gu Qingyun’s old face darkened, and he looked at Dongfang Bai, saying, "Mr. Dongfang’s method of teaching is really... peculiar!"

Lin Bai said, "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are needed!"

"Hehe," Gu Qingyun laughed ambiguously.

Gujian Yun was in the first battlefield, and Du Yue was in the second.

After waiting for the other warriors to enter, Gu Hai shouted, "The Martial Arts Competition is to spar until a point is made. Remember, do not harm anyone’s life. If you are defeated by your opponent, concede immediately and exit the circle."

"Of course, since it is a Martial Arts Competition, there will be the use of knives and swords. Knives and swords do not have eyes. If you accidentally take a life, it can only be attributed to your own lack of skill. My Ancient Clan will not be responsible for anyone participating in the competition!"

"If anyone wants to quit now, there’s still time!"

"If no one quits, then let the Martial Arts Competition begin."

Gu Hai stated blandly.

These warriors, having reached this moment, who would think of quitting?

Upon hearing Gu Hai declare the start, the warriors within these sixteen circles drew their weapons and began to fiercely attack!

Suddenly, a bloody battle erupted in the Central Square of Huanglong City.

At the start, there were warriors who were defeated and indeed fled from within the circle.

But eventually, the warriors’ eyes turned bloodshot, completely disregarding the rules of the competition and slaughtering away!

Soon, the Central Square was covered in blood!

Lin Bai looked towards the first battlefield and saw that Gujian Yun was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, she kept dodging other people’s attacks with her movement technique!

Gu Qingyun was getting anxious, "What is Gujian Yun doing? Why isn’t he attacking? Look at Du Yue in the second battlefield; he has pulled out his Sharp Sword and is crazily defeating his opponent!"

Lin Bai glanced again at Du Yue in the second battlefield.

He saw Du Yue, his face twisted in a mad laugh, holding a Sharp Sword, his body stained red with blood—but it was not his own, it was the blood of others.

In the second battlefield, Du Yue was like a butcher, mercilessly slaughtering his opponents under his sword!

Soon, in the second battlefield, all the warriors were fearing Du Yue’s ferocity, not daring to approach easily, and could only choose to admit defeat!

The second battlefield was the first to decide who would enter the final battle!

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "What’s the point in striking? This is just an elimination round; just making it to the final battle is enough."

Gu Qingyun didn’t think so; if there was a chance to knock down an opponent, why miss out on the best opportunity?

"Wow! Du Yue is really strong, in the second battlefield, he has already slaughtered nearly a hundred people! These warriors under his sword are just like cabbages, powerless to resist!"

"Truly, he is the top talent of Huanglong City!"

"It’s unbelievable."

Many watching warriors showed a look of awe towards Du Yue.

"On the other hand, Gujian Yun in the first battlefield is being chased everywhere, alas, it seems the Ancient Clan is truly going to lose!"

"Yes, after this year’s Forbidden City Disciple Recruitment Conference, it’s feared that the Ancient Clan won’t even obtain a Qualification Token!"

"You see, all the big and small families of Huanglong City are now revolving around the Du Clan. Huanglong City is about to see a change!"

Many warriors shook their heads upon seeing Gujian Yun’s ineffectiveness.

Du Yue stood in the second battlefield area, watching Gujian Yun in the first battlefield, and said, "Gujian Yun, with your little Sword Art cultivation, you think you can compete with me?"

"Can you even make it to the final battle?"

Upon hearing Du Yue’s words, Gujian Yun coldly laughed, "Du Yue, just wait, auntie will beat you so hard in the final battle that you’ll be searching for your teeth on the ground!"

After speaking, Gujian Yun fiercely drew her Sharp Sword and struck a warrior who had been chasing her out of the circle with a single blow.

"How is that possible! You clearly have such strong strength; why didn’t you strike earlier, only to do so when I thought I had a chance to defeat you?" exclaimed the warrior who had fallen out of the circle.

Gujian Yun coldly laughed, "A lapdog of the Du Clan, you really thought you were a match for auntie? Let me tell you, auntie was just toying with you!"

The warrior who had been continuously chasing and attacking Gujian Yun was precisely a person placed in the first battlefield by the Du Clan, intended to keep Gujian Yun outside the final battle if possible!

Seeing Gujian Yun defeat this warrior of the Du Clan, Du Yue coldly laughed, "See you at the final battle!"

Gujian Yun coldly said, "See you at the final battle!"

Soon, half an hour later, the elimination round ended.

Only sixteen people stood within the circle; these were the sixteen who would enter the final battle!

Among them were Gujian Yun from the first battlefield and Du Yue from the second!

From the direction of the Du Clan.

Han Di slightly chuckled, "Heh, I told you Du Yue, this kid, has good talent in Sword Art, one of the best among the young warriors I’ve seen in my life, second only to the Crown Prince!"

"As for that little girl from the Ancient Clan, heh, just flowery fists and embroidery legs—this battle, Du Yue is certain to win!"

Han Di laughed cheerfully.

Zhao Chou’s eyes flashed coldly, "Senior Han Di, since we have already predicted Du Yue’s victory in this battle, shouldn’t we now shift our focus a bit towards Dongfang Bai?"

Hearing Zhao Chou’s words, Han Di slightly nodded and raised his eyes again towards Lin Bai, his gaze... carrying malevolent intent!
