Zhang Yi thought to himself, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he raised his eyes and looked around.

With just a glance, Zhang Yi realized that the speedy sword Ziqing had obtained the No. 3 jade pendant.

And the little-known saint who came out from the affiliated forces of Anlin County and succeeded in suppressing the elite saints to cut down the beasts, got the No. 7 jade pendant and was assigned to the lower half.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang Yi, you actually took number one..."

Just when Zhang Yi was looking at the ownership of each jade pendant, suddenly, a slightly bitter voice came from the side, and the tone was quite helpless.

Zhang Yi looked around and found that the person who spoke out was Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu.

He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and found that the number in the center was two.

According to the regulations, the No. 2 jade pendant was Zhang Yi's opponent in the first round.

Suddenly, Zhang Yi was embarrassed. He didn't expect that his opponent to be eliminated in the first round was an old acquaintance.

On the spot, Zhang Yi was silent for a moment, and then he shook his head reluctantly, and tentatively said a little weakly.

"Fellow Daoist Ghost Sword... Uh, looking at it this way, we seem to have a good relationship."

Zhang Yi tried to comfort him, while Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu was full of depression.

He was still ambitious.

Although he couldn't beat Zhang Yi and was once defeated by the swift sword Ziqing, Li Wenxiu, the ghost sword, was still full of confidence in the other five, and he was sure to get a high ranking.

In this way, it does not mean that the name of the elite saint is buried.

But at this time, his plan was undoubtedly shattered by reality.

No. 2 jade pendant, and Zhang Yi is the number one jade pendant.

This means that the opponent he needs to face in the first round is Zhang Yi, who has defeated him before, so there is obviously no chance of winning.

In this battle, he will definitely lose.

And because of the ranking of the top eight in the arena, he will fight against Zhang Yi first, becoming the first person to be eliminated in the top eight.

At this moment, the helplessness and powerlessness in Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu's heart can be imagined.

"I'm really unlucky. I met the opponent in the Earth Emperor Sword first, and thus lost the opportunity to crusade the blood spirit mysterious corpse beast."

"And now, I have to lose to the same person again and end this trip to the martial arts event..."

In his heart, Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu sighed involuntarily, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, but after complaining a few words, his expression returned to calm.

As an elite saint, he Li Wenxiu also has his own arrogance.

He won't blame Zhang Yi for the reason, or blame it all on bad luck.

Even if the ring battle is lost again, you must go all out and dare to swing your sword!

Thinking like this, Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu took a deep breath, and his eyes became sharp.

…

On the other hand, after the eight saints all obtained their own jade pendants.

High in the sky, Wu Chun, who was standing on a large sword, moved his spiritual sense, and an invisible pressure immediately filled the four fields, shrouding everyone's hearts.

Immediately, the whispers of everyone in the Martial Arts Square disappeared, and no one spoke.

After finishing this step and keeping quiet, the elder Wu Chun immediately looked at Zhang Yi, who was holding the number one jade pendant, and Li Wenxiu, the ghost sword, who was holding the number two jade pendant, and said calmly.

"Since the jade pendant has been drawn, the quarterfinals of the arena will officially begin."

"Since the two are No. 1 and No. 2, you will be the first to play."

"Yes, elder."

Elder Wu Chun said indifferently, while Zhang Yi and Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu below responded in unison.

Immediately, Zhang Yi looked at Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu, smiled and said, "Daoist Ghost Sword, please."

"You have to be careful. Although I have gained a lot in the Earth Emperor Sword, I will not be merciful."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Yi moved, and the ghost appeared on the left side of the ring without a sound.

When the ghost sword Li Wenxiu saw it, he couldn't help but be on guard. He tightly held the flying sword of his life and took one step forward, and he landed on the right side of the arena. The two stood opposite each other.

After Zhang Yi and the other two were in their positions, the light curtain around the ring also healed independently, forming a completed energy shield to isolate the outside world.

Immediately, the arena became a small enclosed space. There seemed to be sword qi clashes in the void, sparks scattered everywhere, and the atmosphere became tense.

"Brother Zhang Yi, please enlighten me!"

Without too many words, on the right side of the arena, Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu looked serious and bowed to Zhang Yi.

Immediately, he was like a sword unsheathed, with infinite sword intent gushing out from his body, and with the shaking of his wrist, hundreds of swords were slashed in an instant.

These hundreds of sword qi filled the void in front of him, and then combined with each other. After a while, a sword qi lotus flower of about several hundred meters was formed directly in the void.

This is Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu's lotus sword formation supernatural power, and it is his greatest reliance.

Because he was defeated by Zhang Yi not long ago, Li Wenxiu did not have any temptation in the ring at this time.

At the beginning of the standing fight, he directly used the strongest sword move, and did not expect to defeat Zhang Yi, but at least he had to create some trouble for Zhang Yi.

"boom!"

At this moment, the energy light curtain on the edge of the ring trembled, and the sword qi lotus flower swirled, flying towards Zhang Yi, and absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth on the way, making it more and more terrifying.

This is Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu's strongest attack method.

And flying in the void, when it was close to Zhang Yi, the sword qi lotus suddenly had another change.

Visible to the naked eye, this sword-qi lotus flower was born at will, blooming in the void, and then it actually bloomed like a flower.

It is obviously a kendo supernatural power, but it is fragrant and fragrant.

Even with the isolation of the arena energy light curtain, the fragrance still spread throughout the Martial Arts Square.

And looking at the edges of its blooming petals, there is also a hint of purple-gold color permeating.

In the Earth Emperor Sword, Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu once used the Lotus Sword Formation, but at this time, the opponent's magical power seemed to be even stronger.

It has both form and spirit, like the finishing touch, with a sense of reality.

"Brother Zhang Yi, in the Earth Emperor Sword, I was unable to cut down the beasts, but it also gave me the treasure of heaven and earth, the purple and the heavenly lotus."

"Although it is not as precious as the pure crystal nucleus, it is quite in line with my magical powers. After integrating into the Lotus Sword Formation, it has undergone a new evolution."

"Please advise!"

The kendo supernatural powers were exerted with all their strength, even with the background of the ghost sword Li Wenxiu, his face was pale and his breath was unstable.

…

on the ring,

I saw the lotus sword formation blooming in the void, and its red petals had purple brilliance flowing on the edge, which was quite sacred, like a rain of light, swept away towards Zhang Yi with the dazzling aura of immortality.

This scene seems very dreamy, but in fact, under that beautiful appearance, there is a majestic sword energy that can destroy a world!

Even the energy light curtain guarding the surrounding arena was constantly rippling.

Facing the full blow of Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu, how will Zhang Yi respond at this time?

Gu </span> On the Martial Arts Square, Zi Qing, who was hugging He Yuanjian, stared at Zhang Yi, wanting to know what he could do.

Ziqing did not hope that Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu could defeat Zhang Yi, which was somewhat unrealistic.

But if she can force out some of Zhang Yi's trump cards, then for her, she will be able to know the bottom line better when she fights Zhang Yi in the arena.

After all, she is the number three, which means that the two will face each other in the second round.

However, contrary to Ziqing's expectations, Zhang Yi didn't seem to respond to Li Wenxiu's full blow.

He just stood there quietly, without any movement, seemingly indifferent, or too underestimated, in short, he did not use any means.

Seeing this scene, the swift Jian Ziqing frowned, and her expression was a little unhappy.

"Because Li Wenxiu is a defeated general, is he so contemptuous in the martial arts arena..."

Quick Jian Ziqing thought in her heart that her perception of Zhang Yi plummeted.

If Zhang Yi is such a person who underestimates the enemy, even if the opponent's strength is still tyrannical at this time, he is destined to be unable to go far in kendo.

In this way, she lost her qualifications as her opponent.

But at the same time, on the high platform of the Martial Dao Square, the county owner Tao Ye's eyes suddenly narrowed.

As if feeling something, his eyes fell on Zhang Yi, and his expression became a little suspicious.

It was at this moment that the purple lotus flower cut through the space and landed in front of Zhang Yi.

The strands of sword energy permeated the air, blowing Zhang Yi's black hair back.

…

"boom!"

The sword qi blew his hair, and the purple gold petals were already close to Zhang Yi's body three inches, and at this moment, Zhang Yi's eyes flashed a dazzling light.

He finally moved!

I just heard a dull sound roaring in Zhang Yi's body, like a super volcanic eruption, and a huge pillar of True Yuan light, Mu Ran rushed up from Zhang Yi's body, like a pillar connecting heaven and earth.

The original pressure of the peak of the triple heaven is also rising, and finally it seems to have broken through a certain limit. With the bang, a majestic breath spreads out, shrouding everyone in the martial arts square.

The energy barrier that originally guarded the ring also suddenly fluctuated violently.

It seemed to feel the extremely tyrannical energy shock wave, and it became a little shaky.

At this moment, in the Martial Dao Square, the expressions of countless people changed suddenly, and they looked at Zhang Yi with suspicion in their eyes, and they even lost their voices and blurted out their debut.

"Fourth, the fourth-layer heavenly saint realm?!"

At this time, the undisguised mighty coercion emanating from Zhang Yi far surpassed the ghost sword Li Wenxiu who competed with him on the same stage.

That is the unique pressure of middle-level saints who have stepped into the four-layered realm!

In comparison, Zhang Yi at this time is like the vast and furious sea rolling up thousands of feet of waves, while the ghost sword Li Wenxiu is just a swaying wooden boat in the raging sea, and they are not the same.

In the first round of the top eight battle of this martial arts event, Zhang Yi did not hide it, and showed all the cultivation of the fourth-level heavenly saint realm.

This is tantamount to playing the king bomb at the beginning of Dou Dizhu, which caused the saints around the Martial Dao Square to lose their voices for a short time.

"break!"

All beings lost their voices, and even the swift sword Ziqing looked surprised and suspicious, but Zhang Yi did not stop.

Facing the swirling purple-gold lotus, he snorted lightly, then raised his right hand and pointed at it.

"Boom!"

There was a thunderous roar around the arena, and as Zhang Yi dropped his finger, a dazzling brilliance condensed at his fingertips, turning into a transparent sword energy that was condensed to the extreme.

This is the kendo supernatural power, the technique of transforming clouds, evolved from the fourth level of heavenly cultivation!

Immediately, Zhang Yi pointed it down, and the brilliance of the sword qi fell on the purple gold petals.

The purple gold petals of hundreds of meters in size were no match for the brilliance of the sword qi the size of a fingertip. There was a great contrast, but the result was completely different.

I saw Zhang Yi pointed, and the brilliance fell, but after a stalemate for two breaths, the purple gold petals shattered, turning into an energy storm and raging away.

The brilliance of Zhang Yi's sword qi was attacked by the air in the storm of lotus fragments and landed on the chest of Li Wenxiu, the ghost sword.

High in the sky, Wu Chun's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then it returned to its original state, and no one noticed.

In the arena, the brilliance of sword qi dissipated quietly, Zhang Yi smiled calmly, and stopped attacking.

"Brother Zhang Yi has actually broken into the realm of the fourth-level heavenly saint, which really makes Li admire very much."

"I lost this battle."

Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu lowered her head, looked at the missing piece of clothing on her chest, shook her head helplessly, her expression full of bitterness.

He knew that Zhang Yi had shown mercy.

Otherwise, the blow landed on him, and the sword energy in it would burst out, piercing through his heart in an instant and erasing all his vitality.

So he conceded defeat.

Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu didn't expect that the gap between the two was already a world apart after not fighting each other for a few months.

At the beginning, he was still in the same realm as Zhang Yi. Although there was a gap in combat power, his cultivation base was not high or low. Although he was defeated, he fought for a while.

But at this time, several months have passed, and the two of them will fight again in the martial arts arena.

He has made great progress by relying on the Purple Heavenly Treasure Lotus found in the Earth Emperor Sword, but the gap is even bigger, and he can't even take a single move.

Although he is an elite saint, Li Wenxiu has to admit that Zhang Yi at this time has surpassed their level and stood on a new ladder.

At this time, he is not even qualified to become Zhang Yi's opponent.

With bitter thoughts in my heart, Ghost Sword Li Wenxiu left the ring when she turned around.

He shook his head and sighed inwardly.

"It seems that this martial arts event, the first place has no suspense."

On the other side, after Li Wenxiu conceded defeat, Zhang Yi also turned around, floated down from the ring, and landed calmly on the Martial Arts Square.

At this time, he showed all the fluctuations in the cultivation base of the Fourth Layer, which greatly shocked everyone.

After all, although Wen Jianshan is one of the top forces in the violent sea area, the saints who have reached the fourth level of cultivation can also be regarded as high-level.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang Yi has already broken through to the fourth level, no wonder I can't see it through."

At this time, on the high platform, Tao Ye shook his head and said, with a look of emotion in his eyes.

Although when he was in Chiyan County, he recognized Zhang Yi's potential and believed that one day he would step into the realm of middle-level saints.

But Tao Ye believes that it will take at least a hundred years or more to do this.

After all, this is a big bottleneck.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Yi has come to this point, and it is enough to be on an equal footing with him.

"Perhaps, this is the evil spirit of martial arts..."

Tao Ye whispered in his heart.
