Chapter 596 - 595: Not Aiming for the First, Just Seeking One Defeat!

Chapter 596: Chapter 595: Not Aiming for the First, Just Seeking One Defeat!

Jian Ruohan lost to Feng Yunxiu, taking the second seat.

This caused quite a stir among all the warriors who were watching the battle.

"Jian Ruohan and Feng Yunxiu are terrifyingly powerful!"

"Yes! It’s hard to believe how powerful these two are!"

"Indeed, none of the warriors in the top ten are weak!"

Many people cried out in surprise.

In the Territory of the Shenwu Kingdom, Su Jiannan, the Spirit Sword Sect Leader, saw how powerful Jian Ruohan and Feng Yunxiu were and said solemnly, "Given how powerful Jian Ruohan and Feng Yunxiu are, it might be difficult for Lin Bai to hold onto the third position."

It wasn’t just Su Jiannan who thought this, but Ji Bei, Ye Guxing, and Nanli Dao were also deeply worried about Lin Bai.

Not because Lin Bai was too weak, but because the front ten sword cultivators were too strong!

However, what surprised both Ji Bei and Su Jiannan was that the Jingmeng Sword chose Jian Ruohan.

The two of them thought, it wouldn’t be long before they would strike up a relationship with the Famous Sword Manor.

Following this, both Su Jiannan and Ji Bei showed unprecedented enthusiasm in their eyes. Once the Spirit Sword Sect and the Famous Sword Manor became related by marriage, what could stop the Spirit Sword Sect from rising?

In front of the Famous Sword Manor, even the Canghai Yuntai Palace would have to step aside.

In other words, if the Spirit Sword Sect had the support of the Famous Sword Manor, no one would dare to provoke the Spirit Sword Sect within the Lingdong 700 States.

However, although Qingge Jingmeng is a good story.

Whether Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan could end up together in the end still depended on fate.

After all, at this moment, Lin Bai didn’t have a shred of goodwill towards Jian Ruohan.

And the same was true for Jian Ruohan towards Lin Bai.

The battle continued. After the earth-shaking battle between Jian Ruohan and Feng Yunxiu, Feng Yunxiu began healing his wounds in the fourth seat, and more top hundred warriors ascended the platform to challenge!

An hour later.

Feng Yunxiu opened his eyes again, his eyes showing boundless anger.

Feng Yunxiu took a step forward, standing on the Martial Arts Stage, and roared at Yejian Qiu, "Yejian Qiu, come and fight! This first position is mine alone!"

As soon as Feng Yunxiu got on stage, he started shouting at Yejian Qiu.

Though he lost to Jian Ruohan, Feng Yunxiu had drawn lessons from that battle and firmly believed that he would not lose to Jian Ruohan again.

But now Feng Yunxiu has lost his chance to challenge Jian Ruohan, and now his target is Yejian Qiu.

"When Feng Yunxiu recovered, he challenged Yejian Qiu the moment he stepped on stage!"

"Yejian Qiu was the first sword cultivator in Dongling last year. He was extremely powerful. I wonder if he has improved this year!"

"Amazing! The first sword cultivator of Dongling last year and the uncrowned king of this year, this battle is definitely going to be a spectacle!"

Many of the warriors who came to watch the fight in the Famous Sword Manor were here for this battle.

They all wanted to see who would win between Feng Yunxiu and Yejian Qiu.

One was the first sword cultivator in Dongling last year.

The other was the uncrowned king of Lingdong’s first sword cultivator this year!

The two of them were the major highlights of this year’s Martial Arts Competition.

Even Jian Qianqiu and Dugu Yun were looking forward to it.

Yejian Qiu casually stood up from his seat, walked to the stage, and asked, "Are your injuries alright?"

Feng Yunxiu sneered, "Enough to beat you!"

Yejian Qiu smiled slightly, "Since you say so, you go ahead."

"I came to compete this year, just to be defeated!"

Feng Yunxiu laughed wildly, "Yejian Qiu, I never thought you would be so arrogant. Do you really think that within the Lingdong 700 States, there is no one who can defeat you?"

"Today, you will inevitably lose to me, and I will step over your body to ascend the throne of the First Sword Cultivator of Lingdong!"

Yejian Qiu nonchalantly replied, "If you are truly capable, the throne of the First Sword Cultivator of Lingdong is yours for the taking."

"Yejian Qiu, make it clear, this throne is something I’ve earned with my genuine strength, not something given by you!" Feng Yunxiu, his eyes flashing with icy coldness, spoke in a cold voice.

Yejian Qiu nodded lightly.

"Witness my sword!"

"The fourth sword of Nine-element Sword Box! Shadowless!"

The moment Feng Yunxiu made his move, it was the fourth sword, so fast it left no sword shadow.

Like a sudden thunderbolt, his sword aimed directly at Yejian Qiu’s throat.

Lin Bai’s eyes widened in surprise as he watched Feng Yunxiu disappear from his sight, only to reappear with his sword savagely aimed at Yejian Qiu’s throat.

However, Yejian Qiu just stood there, smiling, without trying to dodge!

"What is happening?"

"Why is Yejian Qiu not dodging!"

"It’s over, it’s over. Feng Yunxiu’s sword is too fast. Yejian Qiu doesn’t have time to dodge!"

"It’s over. Yejian Qiu is probably going to die under this sword."

Many sword cultivators witnessing this scene cried out in shock.

Jian Qianqiu and Dugu Yun were also poised to act. If Yejian Qiu really couldn’t resist this sword, he might be killed by Feng Yunxiu’s sword. Then, Dugu Yun and Jian Qianqiu would have to save Yejian Qiu in the blink of an eye.

However, an astonishing scene took place.

As Feng Yunxiu’s lightning-fast sword was about to reach Yejian Qiu’s throat with an irresistible force.

Suddenly, Yejian Qiu gave a slight smile and extended two fingers to firmly catch Feng Yunxiu’s treasured sword!

Clang!

Hiss——

The sound of the entire audience drawing a breath could be clearly heard.

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan also widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at the scene before them.

Yejian Qiu had easily caught Feng Yunxiu’s savage sword with just two fingers!

Lin Bai exclaimed, "Incredible!"

Jian Ruohan was also deeply shocked by Yejian Qiu’s strength.

The expression on Feng Yunxiu’s face was priceless as he stood there, dumbstruck, staring at Yejian Qiu.

Feng Yunxiu, at that moment, couldn’t comprehend how his dazzling sword aura had been caught by Yejian Qiu!

"I’ve won!"

When Yejian Qiu caught Feng Yunxiu’s sword, he gave a faint smile and instantly kicked out, sending Feng Yunxiu flying.

He was flung off the martial arts stage, flying over the heads of the warriors, hitting the stone wall of Sword Discussion City, flying at least a thousand meters!

Splat——

Feng Yunxiu lay on the ground, his face expressionless, his eyes filled with horror, repeatedly crying out, "How is this possible! How could he have defeated me so easily!"

Dugu Yun squinted his eyes at this moment, stood up, and said, "Yejian Qiu, I, Dugu Yun, on behalf of the Swordsmanship Courtyard, one of the Nine Courts of the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge, invite you to join the Swordsmanship Courtyard of the Miracle Ridge!"

Wow!

The entire place was in an uproar. As soon as Yejian Qiu defeated Feng Yunxiu without even drawing his sword, Dugu Yun issued an invitation.

Yejian Qiu gave a faint smile: "Thank you for your kind intentions, Elder Dugu, but I have my own path to follow. If I can’t find anyone in the Lingdong 700 States who can defeat me, I won’t go to the Miracle Ridge!"

"I came to the competition this year, not for the first place, but just to seek a defeat!"
