C11 (1/2)
According to the rules, the 17 judges gathered together and discussed beforehand. They divided the 21 participants into 3 groups. Although this side array formation seemed small and insignificant, there were actually a great number of details. To a great extent, it affected the results of the Martial Meeting. In these three array formations, each and every one of the seven participants' talent couldn't be more or less the same. The strengths and weaknesses of each group had to be relatively clear. This was the only way for the judges to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each group.
Indeed, on the day before the Slaughterer Martial Meeting, a red banner was hung on the square of the Blue Firmament Hall. On it were written in large golden characters: ”According to the previous discussion, the twenty-one disciples will be divided into three formations. The three array beast slaughtering duels were held every morning.
First formation: Ning An stage, Su Xie, Bai Yunfei, Zheng Yi, Zhou Zhile, Liu Chengfeng, Li Zongyin.
The second group consisted of Shen Jingyang, Lin Yichuan, Zhu Yi, Nangong Ming, Lu Lun, Yu Duyan and Lang Gong.
Third formation: Kong Zhili, Ke Yunhao, Li Bin, Sun Wuming, Qin Yuechan, Zhao Yuyi, fifth hidden spirit.
The moment the list was out, the crowd was in an uproar.
Lang Gong was stunned, ”To think that there's still Shen Jingyang. I didn't expect him to improve so quickly over the past few years.”
Yu Duancai said, ”Yeah, there are a lot of experts in the second formation. Why are so many experts in the second formation?”
Kong Zhili scrutinized the list and pondered for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, ”Sigh, it really is all Master's effort.”
Zhao Yu smiled disdainfully and said, ”Senior brother, don't keep us in suspense. Quickly tell me how the list is distributed, and let us prepare ourselves for it.”
Kong Zhili was rather arrogant, thinking that only he could understand the secret behind all of this. Smiling proudly, he said, ”Everyone, look carefully, we are all placed in different formations, and the strengths and weaknesses of each formation are different. This is Master's consideration, otherwise, the number of slots we have to win would be very small.”
Upon hearing his words, everyone nodded their heads.
At the ancient mountain residence, a melodious voice sang. The sound lingered in the air without end.
On the second day of the seventh month, the sun shone brightly.
The flags of the Supreme Mystery were fluttering in the wind, everywhere was filled with joy. Looking into the distance, the crowd moved shoulder to shoulder as they bustled over. All kinds of clothes were dazzling, indicating that the Mysterious Great Capital was flourishing at an extraordinary rate with many talented individuals.
Every two zhang, there would be an embroidered flag with distinct golden patterns on it. All of them were Supreme Profound Capital's and the twelve pots of treasured sword and divine weapons. The sound of the flag fluttering in the wind set off the grand atmosphere of the Slaughterer Beast Association.
From the edge of the abyss, the crowd was even more packed. On an open area beside the abyss, there was a square. This was the best place to watch the beast slaughtering battle, and when the beast slaughtering competition began, all of the disciples that were allowed to watch would gather in this square. Amongst them, there were seventeen seats that protruded high, separated into two rows, and had a wider viewing field. This was where the Taixuan elders, the 12 Altar Lords, and the four city lords sat. Jade Wall, Lang Xie, Xi Yong, and Yi Yuan City were not cultivation platforms, so they naturally wouldn't send anyone to participate. As Taixuan's subsidiary city, this kind of once-in-a-decade event was also required to attend, so the City Lords were naturally in the front row like the 12 Altar Masters.
As for this place, it had been famous for a long time and was located in the four extremes of the world. It was the biggest cave in the entire Qing Qiu mountain. ”Legend has it that the undead cave at the bottom of the abyss is located at the center of the world. The undead cave at the bottom of the abyss is said to be located at the center of the world.
After the seventeen of them took their seats, Yin Baoyun's face was solemn as he said loudly, ”Today is the day of the Martial Arts Competition. Fifty years have passed since the last time, and the seven people who won this time's Martial Arts Competition will be missing seven positions. The disciples who wished to participate would display the beauty of a Supreme Profound disciple and display their talent. The Beastslayer Martial Meeting will take a total of three days. Every day for a period of time, please begin the first array. ”
The fifth Hidden Spirit was standing in the third row. It had an intuition that the heaven and earth were empty, the people were noisy, and its thoughts were flying. He thought back to his time at the Raccoon Workshop, and the days when he first entered the Taixuan capital. Time flew by and he could not believe that he was currently in the world's number one cultivation sect.
Suddenly, a cheer sounded out, interrupting the fifth Hidden Spirit's train of thought. He suddenly came back to his senses. The crowd was in an uproar as sounds of amazement rang out incessantly. He saw seven people in the first array leaping onto the surface of the abyss.
Suddenly, there was a loud crashing sound like a thunderclap. The calm surface of the abyss was surrounded by purple mist, and waves suddenly rose up. A giant beast with a dragon head and lion body emerged from the bottom of the abyss with half of its body covered in golden scales. The Aquatic Qilin's expression was sinister and mystical, causing people to be in awe.
The appearance of the Aquatic Qilin frightened many spectating disciples in the square. The seventeen of them were experienced and knowledgeable, so they could remain calm and unperturbed.
The fifth hidden spirit couldn't help but take a deep breath. He couldn't help but worry for the two senior brothers, Ning An and Zhou Zhile.
The seven disciples on the surface of the Abyss had all cultivated to the highest level of the Genuine Force. If they had borrowed Zhen Qi to establish themselves on the surface of the Abyss, if it were any other Sword Controlling Realm disciple, they would have already fallen into the depths of the Abyss.
With a few humming sounds, the seven of them produced their treasured swords at almost the same time. Some of the swords released a green glow, some of the green stars, some of the blue lights were dazzling, but the most surprising thing was the Green Hill's Sword which was produced by the Ning An Stage.
When Ning An's sword appeared, it was like a peony among ten thousand flowers, competing to be the most beautiful and seizing one's life. In an instant, it became the focus of everyone.
”Tsk tsk, this Qing Qiu Sword is the most precious treasure of the primal chaos capital. Who is this person? How can he possess such power and influence, and be able to make use of the Qing Qiu Sword?” A disciple who seemed to be from a luxurious place said in envy.
”This person is Elder Yin's inner disciple, Ning An. It's said that he entered early and his skills are profound. He's already reached the fourth level of the upper Qing realm.” The Xuanyuan Altar disciple continued.
As the water qilin spoke, it gasped with its nostrils. Suddenly, a loud ”whooshing” sound rang out. It spat out a streak of ice from its mouth and charged forward like a bolt of lightning.
The seven of them hurriedly retreated two steps. With a shake of their hands, the immortal sword before them shone brilliantly as they took the initiative to face the incoming attack. The other six people recovered from their shock and also brandished their Immortal swords to stab forward. However, Ning Anshi was still able to seize the initiative.
The sword energy collided with the ice shard. With a bang, the ice shards scattered and stars covered the sky. The ice shards were like flowers in the sky.
”Good!” The crowd shouted. Yin Bao Scroll also slightly nodded with a happy expression.
The Aquatic Qilin was already enraged. Its dragon whiskers twitch like steel whips that filled the sky. It struck down from above the heads of the seven people. The seven people's clothes fluttered in the wind.
Of the seven people, four of them were already panicking, Ning An stage, Su Xie and Bai Yun Fei were still relatively calm, they did not have any intention of retreating, the three sword beams became one and pulled towards their heads, causing the multicolored light to seem like a veil, the three swords instantly becoming many times wider and forming a screen of light above their heads.
The Tianyu Altar Lord and Overlord Shen immediately felt much happier and felt greatly proud of themselves.
The Aquatic Qilin was enraged that its strike was ineffective. Its dragon whiskers suddenly grew several times larger. The huge dragon whiskers covered the glittering icicles and once again struck down.
The seven of them had already experienced it. Seven sword beams combined into one, and a beam of light shot towards the approaching Dragon Tooth. With a loud rumble, Bai Yunfei, Zheng Yi, Liu Chengfeng, and Zhou Zhile flew out of the deep cliff and landed in front of the plaza.
The three Altar Masters on the high seats frowned and sighed. Then, they hurriedly ordered the disciples behind them, ”Hurry and bring our men over.”
