Volume 1 Chapter 945 The Test in the Sword Array
The two of them felt the same expression in everyone's eyes. They laughed bitterly and explained, "Our Myriad Sword Sect and the Spirit Sword Pavilion are organizing this sword intent competition together. The two of us are only here to supervise the battle to ensure fairness. Of course, the rules are also set by us."
Everyone heaved a deep sigh of relief. If they met these two, then there was nothing comparable. They could just surrender. However, Kong Yun was slightly disappointed. The restriction of the rules was only inferior to the sword intent, so he wanted to fight the two of them to see where he was lacking.
"This is a seed of sword intent. It is also a reward prepared by our Myriad Sword Sect for the leader of the sword intent competition. I'm sure the Spirit Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master will not disappoint everyone, right?" The Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master took out a finger-sized crystal and looked at the Spirit Sword Pavilion Master with a trace of provocation.
"Sword intent seed, that is really a sword intent seed!"
"Isn't this too generous?"
Under the arena, many rogue cultivators stared fixedly at the crystal in the Myriad Sword Sect's sect master's hand, their eyes filled with hope. Of course, no one dared to snatch it, otherwise, there was no other possibility other than death.
The so-called seed of sword intent might be useless to others, but for martial artists who cultivated the sword dao, it was definitely a precious treasure! The reason for that was because the seed of sword intent was condensed from the sword intent of a Master God-level Sword Dao expert. It was extremely rare for swordsmen to have the effect of accelerating their comprehension of the sword dao, because condensing sword intent seeds would have a certain negative impact on the Master God himself. Few people would choose to do so. Even great powers like Wanjian Sect and Lingjian Pavilion would not have more than five sword intent seeds!
The Spirit Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master's lips trembled slightly, knowing that he had been set up by the Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master
"Pavilion Master Lin, I remember that you always carried the Spirit Sword with you." The Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master said with a strange tone.
At this moment, everyone's gazes were focused on the Spirit Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master. The Spirit Sword was one of the three great swords of the Spirit Sword Pavilion. Other than Kong Yun, almost all swordsmen knew about it.
The Spirit Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master's heart was bleeding. The Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master had a plan for the Spirit Sword. Today, he was here for him. However, in front of so many people, if he did not take out the Spirit Sword, the Spirit Sword Pavilion would lose all face. At that time, outsiders would definitely say that the Spirit Sword Pavilion was inferior to the Myriad Sword Sect. This was absolutely intolerable.
The corner of his eyes twitched slightly. The Spirit Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master gritted his teeth. Then, a half-black and half-blue sword appeared in his hand. It was surrounded by a divine luster. Even Kong Yun couldn't help but be attracted to it because Kong Yun could feel that the black part of the sword was actually carrying soul force!
"What a powerful sword!" The corners of Kong Yun's eyes unconsciously trembled. Kong Yun estimated that the Spirit Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master's Spirit Sword was definitely no weaker than his Thunder Tribulation Sword!
The Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master revealed a happy expression. He was extremely confident in the Immortal Sword Stay. As long as he could obtain the position of the leader, this Soul Spirit Sword would belong to his Myriad Sword Sect!
At this moment, the eyes of every expert who participated in the sword intent competition were burning hot, and they were determined to obtain the soul sword momentum!
"Next, I will explain to you the rules of this sword intent." The Ten Thousand Sword Sect's Sect Master succeeded in his crafty scheme. He was very happy in his heart as he stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.
The originally bustling crowd fell silent. Sometimes, the rules could be used.
"There are more than a hundred people who have signed up to participate in the Sword Intent Tournament this time. It is impossible for everyone to draw lots one-on-one. Therefore, I will discuss with the Spirit Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master to set up a sword intent formation for you. If you can survive until the last ten people, then you will pass the first round!"
Almost every word struck the heartstrings of Kong Yun and the others. The rules were very simple, but only ten out of a hundred remained. This elimination rate was too terrifying.
However, Kong Yun was not afraid of this. Although the Heavenly Dao Sword Intent was not perfect, he was still confident in facing the sword formation set up by others.
At this moment, the four figures landed in the crowd at an extremely fast speed. However, just as they landed, Kong Yun could feel the four fierce auras.
"Sure enough, it's amazing." Kong Yun was secretly shocked. The four people who had just arrived were precisely the Four Extremes mentioned by the shop owner. At the same time, almost all the martial artists who were standing beside the four of them unconsciously took two steps back under their fierce momentum.
Immediately after, a male and female figure appeared beside the Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master and the Spirit Sword Pavilion's Sect Master. Similarly, the two of them looked at Four Extremes with determination and confidence, as if they were looking forward to a battle with the two of them. At the same time, the two of them exchanged glances with each other, full of hostility.
"Look, it's Jian Liuxian and Lin Ying! This time, they look good!"
"That's right. It's rumored that my goddess has entered the ancestral land of the Spirit Sword Pavilion. I didn't expect that she would have already come out."
"Compensate, return your goddess. You deserve it!"
Sounds came from the spectating platform to Kong Yun's ears. Indeed, Zhang Ying's appearance was excellent in Kong Yun's eyes, and his temperament as a swordsman had a different charm from this woman's.
The Myriad Sword Sect's sect master chuckled and said to the Spirit Sword Pavilion's sect master, "Brother Lin, since everyone is here, let's begin."
The two of them exchanged a glance and simultaneously leapt into the air above the arena. Then, with a wave of their sleeves, two majestic sword intents gathered and descended, forming a grand formation in the center of the arena.
Kong Yun's expression froze. He had never seen such a method before.
"Haha, the first round of the competition can begin." The Spirit Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master stroked his beard, clearly very satisfied with the formation that the two of them had created together.
As he finished speaking, an extremely fast figure took the lead and rushed in. It was one of the four poles, the Extreme South!
"Hmph, you always like to be in the limelight!" Ji Bei coldly snorted, and then his figure moved and rushed into the formation. The two of them had already entered, and everyone stepped into the grand formation one by one.
Kong Yun stepped in and felt a weak sword force stimulating his skin. Although he couldn't hurt himself, it was very uncomfortable. Kong Yun could bear it.
Slowly, however, the pain grew stronger and stronger. Kong Yun frowned and used the Metal Laws to form a protective shield around his body. However, contrary to Kong Yun's expectations, the previous pain did not weaken. Instead, it could increase its power with the help of his own Metal Laws.
At the same time, the rest of them, like Kong Yun, put away their defensive measures.
"Do you want to use sword intent to resist?" Kong Yun thought for a moment. Since it was a sword intent competition, although it was only the first round, the main theme would not change. However, Kong Yun did not immediately use the Heavenly Dao Sword Intent. He could still endure the power of the sword formation now, and wanted to observe how the others did it.
"Ah!" A rogue cultivator was the first to lose his composure, and the sword intent in his body surged out to form a sword aura around his body.
Almost instantly, the rogue cultivator felt his entire body comfortable and couldn't help but mutter. However, he knew that he had already lost when he first used sword intent in the same situation. However, he did not immediately withdraw from the arena. Instead, he continued to persevere with the power of the sword.
Slowly, more and more swordsmen couldn't endure the stabbing pain coming from the sword formation and began to display their sword intent to resist it.
Half a day passed. Only Siji, Jian Liuxian, Zhang Ying, Kong Yun, and another youth did not use their sword intent.
"This woman's temperament is actually so tenacious." Kong Yun thought to himself. At this moment, he felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing on him. If Kong Yun hadn't always been tough, he wouldn't have been able to hold on anymore.
Almost at the same time, the Four Extremes couldn't hold on any longer, and the sword intent in their bodies erupted, directly dispersing the sword intent of the surrounding people.
Seeing this, Jian Liuxian, Lin Ying, Kong Yun, and the rogue cultivator no longer retained their sword intent, and the sword intent within their bodies gushed out!
In an instant, eight sword intents that far surpassed the rest appeared in the sword formation. Eight rays of light glowed in the sword formation, faintly showing signs of contention.
Four Extremes and Jian Liuxian, Zhang Ying's eyes were locked on Kong Yun and the rogue cultivator at the same time. The two of them had never heard of him before, but in terms of sword intent alone, they were no weaker than them!
Jian Liuxian's eyes were gloomy. One had to know that he had inherited the supreme sword intent of his ancestors. He was actually on par with these people at this moment. He could faintly feel that Kong Yun's invisible sword intent was even more terrifying than his own!
Not only the people in the formation, Even Sect Master Wanjian Sect and Pavilion Master Lingjian Pavilion had ugly expressions on their faces. Originally, the two of them were very confident in Jian Liuxian and Lin Ying. After all, each of them had inherited the powerful sword intent of their respective forces. However, the two of them had never expected that the Four Extremes would actually improve so quickly during this period of time. Where did the other two come from? Both of them had invested money for this sword intent competition. If outsiders took it away, it would definitely be unacceptable!
"Look, who is the owner of that invisible sword intent? How come I've never heard of it before?"
"That's right. He can actually resist the Four Extremes. What a powerful sword intent."
On the viewing platform, almost everyone's gazes were attracted by Kong Yun's Heavenly Dao Sword Intent. When Emperor Demon God and the others heard this, they only pursed their lips and smiled. However, the shop owner was deeply shocked. He had originally thought that Kong Yun was only interested in the path of the Sword Dao, but he never expected that he would be so strong!
"Ah!! I can't hold on any longer!"
Finally, the sword intent of the first person was unable to withstand the pressure of the sword formation. He jumped out of the formation and looked back at the people who were still holding on in the sword formation with strange expressions.
With the first, the second, and the third, there were slowly less than 30 people left in the sword formation.
"Bang!" Immediately afterwards, everyone was shocked. A rogue cultivator who was firmly in the sword formation actually exploded and died. Blood splashed on the faces of the surrounding people.
"Why is this necessary?" Kong Yun felt helpless. Although the Heart of Sword Intent and Soul Spirit Sword were good, could it be that his own life was important?
With the lesson from the past, no one dared to forcefully hold on any longer. He jumped out of the formation, his eyes filled with unwillingness, but he understood that his strength was weak.
After half an incense stick of time had passed, the final ten people were finally confirmed.
Not surprisingly, Siji, Jian Liuxian, Lin Ying, the rogue cultivator Kong Yun had been paying attention to, and two other swordsmen had passed the first floor, but they were already covered in blood, unable to proceed to the next round.
Therefore, only eight people passed in the first round!
The Myriad Sword Sect's Sect Master coughed softly and broke the sword formation together with the Sword Spirit Pavilion Master. Then, he jumped onto the arena and looked at Kong Yun and the others.
