Hearing this small voice, several people fell silent instantly.

They all looked towards the sound and saw a small crack appearing on the black stone pillar at some unknown time.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread around like a horned dragon.

In the blink of an eye, it was all over the stone pillar's body.

Boom!

The black stone pillar finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke into countless tiny stones.

"How is this possible?"

Gongsun Quan, who looked arrogant just now, suddenly looked dull.

The few remaining people also showed incredulous expressions.

The stone in the sword is an extremely special material.

Not only is it extremely strong, it can also dissolve sword energy.

Even with the strength of Wang Song, Xiao Yao and Gongsun Quan, they could only leave faint traces on the stone pillars.

However.

This seemingly unspectacular young man actually chopped the stone pillar into pieces.

"Haha, I really didn't expect that."

"This friend of Princess Anran is indeed quite capable."

Xiao Yao's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but marvel.

"Tch, what's so big about this?"

Gongsun Quan mocked again and said with a sneer on his face: "We are here for a sword competition. It doesn't mean you are strong, you must be strong in swordsmanship. This has just begun, and the fun is yet to come."

"That's right."

A cold light flashed in Wang Song's eyes, and he said: "Wait until later, we will see his good show."

"That's enough."

Wang Jianqi snorted coldly and said: "If you really have the ability, show it with actions, don't just show off with words."

"alright."

Qing Wu Hou coughed and said: "Sun Moon Sword God, everyone is almost here now, let's prepare to enter the second stage."

"good."

Wang Jianqi took a glance and found that half of the cultivators present had passed the examination, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Then he raised his voice and spread it throughout the entire scene, saying: "Congratulations to everyone, you passed the first level of assessment. Now let me tell you about the second stage of the test."

"In the second stage, the test is the soul."

"At that time, Qingwuhou will play the Heavenly Demon Dance and bring down the illusion of infinite Heavenly Demons. If you are a practitioner who is not confident enough in yourself, you can withdraw early."

"Otherwise, if you wait until the test begins and want to quit, it will be too late."

Wang Jianqi's words immediately caused a commotion.

However, the practitioners present all had firm eyes, and no one flinched.

"very good."

Wang Jianqi nodded secretly and said: "Now let us invite Qing Wuhou to play for everyone."

"Everyone, you are polite."

Qingwuhou stood up from his seat, and with a wave of his hand, an antique guqin appeared in front of him out of thin air.

He looked down at the guqin and reached out to stroke the strings.

Buzz!

A deep piano sound resounded throughout the square.

Everyone suddenly felt as if they were struck by lightning, and their souls trembled slightly.

"The piece I will play for you next is called Demon Dance. This music will cause endless illusions. If any of you can't hold on, just raise your hands and admit defeat, someone will take you away from the scene.

"

After saying that, Qing Wuhou sat cross-legged on the ground.

The fingers of his hands moved smoothly over the strings of the piano, and the beautiful sounds of the piano suddenly resounded.

Countless practitioners listened to the moving melody with confused expressions in their eyes.

"Ah ah ah, I can't stand it anymore."

It didn't take long before some people couldn't hold on anymore and raised their hands to surrender.

When the examiner is dismissed, the cultivators who admit defeat will be taken away from the square directly.

The sound of the piano continues, and more and more people admit defeat.

As the sound of the piano floated, Wang Song, Xiao Yao and Gongsun Quan also showed struggling expressions on their faces.

"Get out of my way."

At this moment, Duanmu Heng suddenly roared angrily, and his whole body became filled with murderous aura.

His eyes brightened instantly, and he was the first to break free from the endless illusion.

"break."

Gongsun Quan shouted loudly and opened his eyes suddenly.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Yao and Wang Song also broke through the illusion.

"In three breaths, you can escape from the illusion of the devil."

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqi nodded secretly.

Although Gongsun Quan and others were quite arrogant, they were still in a good mood and were able to break free from the illusion very quickly.

But what surprised him the most was Shen Chenfeng.

From beginning to end, he had a sleepy expression, as if he was not affected by the sound of the piano at all.

finally.

After the song, countless practitioners were eliminated, and in the end only eight people were left.

Each of these eight people is a master among masters.

Of course, there is no need to say more about Wang Song, Xiao Yao, Gongsun Quan and Duanmu Heng.

The few remaining cultivators are also very good.

"Congratulations to everyone, you have successfully passed the second stage of the test."

"Next, let's move to phase three."

Wang Jianqi's eyes flashed, and he walked up to the eight people and said in a calm voice: "The third stage of the competition is very simple, it is the arena test. Through the competition between the two sides, the strongest one will be determined. However, our competition is different from ordinary competitions. .”

"Since it is a sword competition, it is natural to use swordsmanship during the competition."

"Except for swordsmanship, no use is allowed."

Wang Jianqi looked at the contestants and asked in a neutral tone.

"Sun and Moon Sword God, I have a question."

Duan Muheng suddenly spoke, his voice low, and said: "What I practice is the sword technique of killing people. Only when killing people can the power be at its strongest. Is killing allowed in this Sword Questioning Conference?"

"In this competition, there is no limit to life or death. You can use it to your heart's content."

The cold voice shocked everyone's hearts.

Wang Jianqi's face darkened and he said, "Do you still have any questions?"

"no problem."

Except for Shen Chenfeng, the seven people all looked excited.

As long as he can win the title, he can marry Princess Anran and reach the pinnacle of life.

"Very good, now I announce that the ring competition has officially begun."

Wang Jianqi took a deep breath, and his voice spread throughout the audience, saying: "The competition in the arena will be conducted by drawing lots. Now, I invite the third prince to draw lots."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Eight bamboo sticks with names engraved on them fell into the box.

The third prince Gou Wuyan stepped forward and shook the box, then flicked his fingers, and two bamboo sticks flew into the air.

He looked at the name on the bamboo stick, shouted loudly, and said: "The first competition will be between Duanmu Heng and Song Jia. The battle will not end until one party admits defeat or is killed."

"Now, please invite two contestants to come on stage."
