While saying this, she had already made preparations in secret to pull Du Gu Qingxiao out of that sword flat at any time.
“Swish！”
Just as Fairy Lingyue was speaking, I saw that after Cui Tiegu broke through Du Gu Qingxiao’s sword momentum, he suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath on the spot.
Even though Cui Tiegu only drew the long sword three inches out of its sheath, the sword light that Du Gu Qingxiao chopped over was still intercepted by the violent sword energy that suddenly burst out from the long sword.
“Boom！”
When the ebony-sheathed long sword in Cui Tiegu’s hand was completely drawn out, the sword light like a bright moon that Du Gu Qingxiao controlled with his primordial spirit was instantly cut into dozens of sections.
Immediately afterwards, Cui Tiegu’s figure once again appeared behind Du Gu Qingxiao’s true body as if teleporting, and he raised the long sword in his hand high and slashed at Du Gu Qingxiao’s true body’s head with one sword.
“No！”
Seeing this, Zhao Linglong let out a cry of surprise and flew down from the stands with her sword in hand for the first time.
On the side, the Fairy Lingyue also had the spiritual energy around her body swirling, ready to use her movement technique to rescue Du Gu Qingxiao on the sword platform from under the sword of Cui Tiegu.
“Zheng！ ——”
But just as the Fairy Lingyue was about to take action, another sword chirping sound suddenly rang out on the sword platform.
The next moment.
In just an instant, the huge circular sword platform was suddenly cut into a huge chessboard by crisscrossing sword lights.
One after another, the lotus flowers of flames rising in the Western Zhou Dynasty suddenly appeared at the star positions of the “chessboard”.
“Boom！”
At the same time, an extremely terrifying aura of destruction rushed into the sky from the chessboard.
“Weng weng weng…”
After feeling this aura, the long sword in Cui Tiegu’s hand suddenly stopped three inches away from the neck of Du Gu Qingxiao’s true body.
The next moment.
It was seen that Du Gu Qingxiao’s primordial spirit, driving the natal flying sword, inserted it into the position of Tianyuan on the “chessboard”, and then the Illusory shadow of Du Gu Qingxiao’s primordial spirit, looking at Cui Tiegu from a distance, asked in a calm tone：
“Elder Cui, will you drop this sword or not？”
When he said this, the few lotus flowers of fire that landed on the star positions of the chessboard were slowly blooming.
At the same time, the Fire Lotus Sword Qi like “lava” began to flow out from those Fire Lotus flowers.
In just the blink of an eye, the entire Sword Flat was covered by this lava-like Fire Lotus Sword Qi, and the “bang bang bang” sound of explosions rang out from time to time on the Sword Flat.
Anyone could see that the Sword Flat at this time was like a powder keg.
As long as the fuse is lit, this Sword Flat can be made to explode completely.
And this fuse, needless to say, is naturally Du Gu Qingxiao himself.
”Du Gu Qingxiao’s Fire Lotus Sword Qi, one Fire Lotus is more than enough to kill a Divine Refinement Realm cultivator. Now his Sword Qi Fire Lotus has covered the entire Sword Flat… Tsk tsk tsk…”
On the viewing platform, after Bai Yu Perceived Du Gu Qingxiao’s intention, he suddenly took a deep breath of cold air.
Xu Taiping beside him finally understood the intention of his second senior brother and murmured：
”The second senior brother is betting his life that Cui Tiegu doesn’t dare to strike.”
Fairy Lingyue also took back her True Yuan and Qi and blood at this time, and then said with a sigh of relief：
”Although Du Gu Qingxiao’s sword may not necessarily kill Cui Tiegu, Cui Tiegu will surely suffer serious injuries.”
When she said this, the corner of Fairy Lingyue’s mouth raised slightly, and then she continued：
“Suffering heavy injuries in the first round of the True Martial Swordmaster Tournament, it is almost impossible for him to win the championship.
Fairy Lingyue was very certain that this Cui Tiegu would never dare to draw his sword.
And the other cultivators on the stands, after seeing that the long swords in Cui Tiegu’s hands did not fall together, also guessed Du Gu Qingxiao’s intention one after another.
For a while, on the stands of Western Zhou, there was another burst of discussion.
And just as Du Gu Qingxiao and that Cui Tiegu were in a stalemate, Elder Yu, the mountain-guardian elder of the Qilin Peak of the Nine Mansions, spoke again at this time and said, “If you are hesitant to act, The Sword King List will decide on its own that you two are tied.
Hearing this, Du Gu Qingxiao, once again looked at that Cui Tiegu with a calm expression and said：
”Senior Cui, you can draw your sword.”
Upon hearing this, Cui Tiegu rolled his eyes at Du Gu Qingxiao, and then instead of drawing his sword at the real body of Du Gu Qingxiao in front of him, he even put the sword back into its sheath.
Finally, he yawned, turned around and walked towards the bottom of the sword flat, and said without looking back：
“It’s really boring.”
Obviously, this Cui Tiegu had given up the idea of competing with Du Gu Qingxiao for victory or defeat.
And almost at the same time when Cui Tiegu turned around, I saw the virtual shadow of the Swordmaster List “boom” again, and it appeared again in the sky above the sword flat.
Then, a line of golden ancient seal script slowly appeared on the Sword Champion List——
“In this sword trial, Cui Tiegu and Du Gu Qingxiao tied.”
The moment the Sword Champion List announced the outcome of this match, a deafening uproar suddenly erupted on the stands in the west of the Sword Terrace.
Although many people had already guessed the outcome of a draw.
But when the Sword Champion List was really announced, they still couldn’t believe it.
After all, in the eyes of anyone, this was a dead end for Du Gu Qingxiao.
No one expected that Du Gu Qingxiao would instead bet his own life and come up with a draw！
“Who said that in the Sword Champion Meeting, realm and cultivation determine everything？”
“Open your eyes and take a good look. At the True Martial Sword Champion Meeting, there are only those who are bound to lose, but there is no inevitable losing situation！”
But Du Gu Qingxiao’s draw also allowed some cultivators who originally thought that in the face of cultivators with higher realms, there was only the outcome of inevitable defeat, to see another possibility.
On the stand where the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect were located.
At this time, there was already a sea of cheers.
Zhao Qian, who had originally prepared to go on stage, exchanged a glance with the seven peak masters behind him, and then they all let out a long sigh of relief.
I saw Zhao Qian pick up the sound transmission jade slip, put it to his mouth and transmitted the sound：
”Linglong, since your second senior brother is safe and sound, come here quickly. Don’t always stay with a group of loose cultivators.”
……
On the grandstand where Xu Taiping and the others were.
After hearing Zhao Qian’s voice transmission, Zhao Linglong looked at Xu Taiping helplessly and said：
”Junior brother, I have to go to the Qingxuan Sect side first and can’t continue to accompany you here to watch the competition.”
Xu Taiping stood up, shook his head and said：
”Senior sister Linglong, you go. Since the second senior brother has already passed this level of Cui Tiegǔ, there is nothing to worry about in the following sword questions today.”
Immediately, after Zhao Linglong gave a few more instructions to Xu Taiping, she then turned around and headed for the grandstand where the Qingxuan Sect was located.
And in the sword questions of this group in the following, Dugu Qingxiao and Cui Tiequan almost won each of their sword questions.
So in the end, in this sword question, they tied for the first place and entered the next round of the competition together.
And the competitions in the other two groups in the following, because there were no particularly powerful or famous cultivators among them, so it seemed a bit boring.
The only thing that made Xu Taiping perk up a bit was.
In the sword questions of these two groups, he saw many acquaintances who he had met in the Xuanhuang Tower.
For example, Luo Cheng of the Bajing Dao Palace, Yun Ye of the Sanhuang Dao Palace, and Ye Feiyu of the Taihao Sect in the Jue Ming Tian.
Because the cultivation bases of these people were far stronger than those of their peers, they all advanced to the next round of the competition.
Moreover, because the cultivators in True Martial Heaven were generally much weaker than those in the other several worlds.
Therefore, apart from Du Gu Qingxiao and Cui Tiegu in the first group, almost all the cultivators who advanced to the next round of the competition came from the other several worlds.
This caused the originally full stands to empty out many seats early on.
After all, whether they were freelance cultivators or cultivators from sects and aristocratic families, they didn’t want to see the cultivators from True Martial Heaven lose so miserably.
“Sigh…”
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
“There’s no need to watch. In the next round of the sword questioning, the cultivators from True Martial Heaven will definitely lose again.”
“Is there really no one in our True Martial Heaven cultivation world？”
Several cultivators sitting in the seats in front of Xu Taiping and the others, after seeing the cultivators from True Martial Heaven losing continuously in the sword questioning against the cultivators from the other several worlds, finally couldn’t hold on any longer and got up and left one after another.
Looking at the hint of desolation in the eyes of the several departing cultivators, Xu Taiping For no reason felt a bit sad.
After the True Martial Barrier was opened wide.
Not only the freelance cultivators in True Martial Heaven, but also the disciples of these sects and aristocratic families in True Martial Heaven also longed to receive the respect and recognition of the various worlds.
But the current True Martial Heaven cultivation world had obviously disappointed them.
