“In the next round, you just do your best and don’t have to fight these monsters to the death.”
Little Martial Aunt Lu Rushuang nodded and reached out to gently pat Xu Taiping’s shoulder.
She deeply understood Xu Taiping’s words. After all, she had also participated in the Golden Scale Meeting and knew very well that in the face of true talent, all efforts were vulnerable.
“Boom！——”
At this moment, a harsh air explosion sound rang out again on the Golden Scale Platform.
Looking at the Golden Scale Platform again, it had already been clearly divided into two parts by the sword energy of Juque and the aura of the True Martial Great Emperor.
These two auras are in a stalemate ed for less than two breaths of time, and then Zhu Qiongmo suddenly joined his palms to form a seal and then forcefully pointed downward at Ji Ye, and shouted loudly——
“Sword, come out！！！”
As soon as the voice fell, accompanied by a sword cry like a dragon’s roar, bright halos suddenly lit up on the Juque sword, and a magnificent sword intent that was ten times more vast and thick than before, with a sword momentum as if it was going to split this heaven and earth, Boom slashed towards the Illusory shadow of the True Martial Great Emperor below.
“Bang！”
And just as the Juque sword slashed down, the strings of the guqin on Ji Ye’s leg suddenly broke after emitting the last syllable.
Immediately, the Illusory shadow of countless military array soldiers on the field suddenly shattered, turning into wisps of cyan-green astral winds, rapidly converging into the hands of the Illusory shadow of the True Martial Great Emperor, and finally turning into a long sword with a cold light shining westward, which was held in the hands of the Illusory shadow of the True Martial Great Emperor.
“In the sky and on the earth, there is no me, the True Martial, who will not!”
A thick and hoarse voice, as if through the long river of time, resounded like thunder in the Golden Scale Pool startling the dragons peeking in the pool and causing them to dive into the water one after another.
Immediately, the Illusory shadow of the True Martial Emperor holding the long sword slashed at the falling Juque Sword with one sword.
The moment the long sword was slashed, the cultivators only saw that half of the sky and earth under the long sword of the True Martial Emperor was densely covered with sword shadows, and an unprecedented oppression, like a powerful palm, tightly pinched the necks of the people on the stands.
When this sword collided with the Juque Sword, the harsh cracking sound deafened most of the cultivators on the scene, leaving only the buzzing tinnitus sound, and this suffocating feeling of being pinched by the neck disappeared.
When everyone came back to their senses and their hearing in both ears was restored, they happened to see the Juque Sword burst open in the sky above the Golden Scale Platform.
At the same time, Zhu Qiongmo’s body was swept by the aftershock of that sword, and a blood mist exploded from his back, just taking the shape of a sword shadow.
“Bang！”
Zhu Qiongmo’s body uncontrollably smashed heavily to the ground.
The stands in the Western Zhou Dynasty were deathly silent. The crowd did not laugh or sneer, but only had respect.
Because as long as they ask themselves, most of the cultivators present couldn’t have withstood the sword strike just now from the shadow of the True Martial Great Emperor.
Unlike the respect for Zhu Qiongmo, the gazes of the crowd looking at that Ji Ye were filled with awe and reverence.
Especially those cultivators who had already learned that the tune that Ji Ye had just played was the Demonic Heaven Entering the Formation Tune. At this moment, looking at Ji Ye, their gazes were simply no different from seeing a ghost.
It should be known that although Dongfang Yuejian also employed the Source Technique One Stroke Opens the Heaven before, she clearly had only mastered the most rudimentary part.
But this Ji Ye had actually mastered the Demonic Heaven Entering the Formation Tune to the extent that he could invite the True Martial Great Emperor into the formation.
At least in terms of the strength displayed on the surface, there was a gap between the two.
For a moment, almost all the cultivators present who had advanced to the next round had the same thought in their hearts——
“Don’t draw this Ji Ye in the next round！”
On the attic stand of the Xuanyun Martial Hall, including Lu Rushuang and the others, everyone also had such a thought in their hearts.
“Bodhisattva bless, when it comes to the next round, senior brother must never draw this Ji Ye. This person simply can’t be fought against！”
Princess Tiancheng had already started praying to the Bodhisattva.
“Judging from the current situation, this Ji Ye is indeed the most difficult opponent.”
Lu Rushuang also said with a solemn expression.
Xu Taiping smiled when he heard this, and then, while stretching, he looked at Chu Tiancheng and Lu Rushuang and said：
“My grandfather often said that the more you don’t want something to come, the more it will come.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Tiancheng covered Xu Taiping’s mouth and said：
“Bah bah bah, senior brother, you must not have a crow’s mouth！”
……
That evening.
After watching all the competitions today, Xu Taiping, Lu Rushuang and others returned to the Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall.
As before, everyone did not enter the house to rest, but waited in the front yard for the Golden Scale List to announce the list of the next round.
“Fortunately, so far, apart from that Ji Ye, the others are not much different from our initial speculation.”
Princess Tiancheng looked at the list in her hand of those who advanced to the next round today and said.
“This is not a good thing.”
Lu Rushuang shook her head.
Xu Taiping also had a solemn expression.
Just because the six competitions later were too plain, so that they didn’t even find a trace of the Xuanhuo Demon Seed, in this way, the probability of a direct encounter in the next round would be greatly increased.
This is naturally not a good thing.
“Master, why do you say that？”
Chu Tiancheng, who didn’t know the existence of the Xuanhuo Demon Seed, looked at Lu Rushuang with some confusion.
“Because…”
“Weng…”
Just as Lu Rushuang was about to explain, the spirit mirror placed on the table suddenly let out a trembling sound.
”The list of the next round of the Golden Scale Ranking battle is about to be announced！”
Chu Xiaoxiao, who was bored aside, suddenly had her eyes shine and rushed to the spiritual mirror.
The eyes of the other several people also looked towards the spiritual mirror at this time.
Soon, names began to appear one by one on the spiritual mirror, and when Xu Taiping’s name appeared, Chu Tiancheng suddenly stood up with a “ceng” sound, and then stomped his foot angrily and said：
”How could this be！！！”
In the list shown in the spiritual mirror the name next to Xu Taiping was actually Ji Ye from Guangling Pavilion of Jue Ming Tian.
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Taiping sighed and said：
”As the saying goes, what you fear will come true.”
Just as he finished speaking, the voice of the Saber Ghost rang out in his mind——
”What’s there to be afraid of？ Hurry up and wash up, and come to the Saber Domain with me tonight to practice！”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s mouth twitched a few times, and then he transmitted a voice in his heart and said：
”Senior, the competition is in a couple of days. Let me rest…”
”Only the dead need to rest. Hurry up and get in here！”
”Alright.”
……
”Great！”
Almost at the same time, in a room of the inn where the disciples of Guangling Pavilion were staying the Goddess Mu Yuchen jumped three feet high after seeing the list on the spiritual mirror.
“Brother, Xiaoye can finally avenge you this time！”
Then she excitedly looked at Mu Yun.
Mu Yun frowned upon hearing this, and then nodded and said：
“Compared to the other few, this Xu Taiping is indeed a well-known opponent.”
