"This...this is the unique power of illusion of the 'Illusion Heart Exquisite Body'?!"
"To be able to lead the opponent to leave Fengyuntai without the other party noticing... It's really terrifying!"
"Furthermore, Fu Tianrui has cultivation and soul power at the third level of the Hegemony Realm! He actually didn't realize in time that he had fallen into an illusion!"
"Doesn't this mean that Fairy Xia's soul power is actually higher than his?!"
Only those who have witnessed it with their own eyes can deeply understand the horror of the "Illusion Heart Exquisite Body".
Just like the scene just now.
Under their gaze, when Fu Tianrui had just used the "Green Lotus Sword Sea", Xia Qingyao had already avoided the target range of the "Green Lotus Sword Sea".
He just stood three feet away and looked at Fu Tianrui calmly.
Fu Tianrui's subsequent behavior... was like a funny clown.
His proactive attack and pursuit in the air... without the blessing of illusion, seemed particularly ridiculous.
But no one present could laugh.
Because they asked themselves, if it were them, it would be impossible for them to do better than him!
"I...I actually lost..."
Fu Tianrui stood in the air for a long time, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
He simply couldn't believe that Xia Qingyao defeated him with almost no effort!
He didn't even touch the other party's body at all during the whole process!
"Qinglian Sword Pavilion Fu Tianrui left the Fengyun Tower on his own initiative and lost the qualification to fight!"
"Congratulations to Huanxia Sect Xia Qingyao for winning and advancing to the quarterfinals tomorrow!"
When Yu Ningbai's voice fell, Fu Tianrui's body trembled visibly.
Then out of the corner of his eye, he felt a light blue figure passing by and flying back to the rest area of the Huanxia Sect.
He also saw her sitting near a young man.
The young man seemed to have said something to her, and then he clearly saw Xia Qingyao's exposed eyes curling up, obviously showing a happy smile.
"It turns out...she has already fallen in love with someone else and doesn't even care about me..."
Fu Tianrui seemed to have suffered a great blow, and flew back to the rest area of Qinglian Sword Pavilion in despair.
He knew that although he was at the third level of the Hegemony Realm, compared with Ye Qingchen's terrifying potential and exaggerated combat power, he was nothing at all!
"The power of your illusion is indeed very strong...even Fu Tianrui, the third-level Overlord, was not able to detect your illusion in time."
Ye Qingchen said in amazement.
Logically speaking, the intensity of soul power is directly proportional to the height of the cultivation realm.
The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the soul power.
"Because he is not the type of warrior who specializes in cultivating soul power."
Xia Qingyao's cherry lips under the illusion veil were slightly raised: "If he practices soul power on weekdays, then his current soul power strength will definitely exceed the third level of Hegemony Realm."
"In that case, it might be difficult for me to deal with it."
In this sentence, Xia Qingyao only said that it might be difficult to deal with it, but did not say that it was invincible.
This gave Ye Qingchen a new understanding of Xia Qingyao's strength.
"But even if we win tomorrow's quarter-finals, we will definitely lose against Qi Ziyan in the semi-finals."
Xia Qingyao sighed quietly.
no way.
Even though she is extremely confident in her "Fantasy Heart Exquisite Body".
But how can Qi Zinuan be so easy to deal with?
Cultivation of the power of literary arts requires the understanding of all kinds of Taoist powers.
In this case, how could his soul power be weak?
Maybe, his soul power has already surpassed the fifth level of Hegemony Realm!
His cultivation is the best among all the heroes, and his soul strength must also be equally outstanding. He is simply the well-deserved number one among the younger generation!
"It doesn't matter, let's see how I beat him in the final."
Ye Qingchen said casually.
Hearing this, Xia Qingyao was amused and laughed, and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait and see how you perform."
She did not ask why Ye Qingchen had such strong self-confidence.
Because she knew that since Ye Qingchen dared to say such words, it would not be without purpose.
Among all the people present, she was the only one who understood Ye Qingchen best.
As the sun gradually sets.
Today’s top 16 competition has come to an end.
Finally, the qualifying list for the quarterfinals has also been sorted out.
It is worth mentioning that among the top eight, six are disciples of the top four sects!
People were not surprised by this.
Oh, no.
If Gui Ming Palace had not been eliminated by Ye Qingchen.
At least Jing Minglong, who they had high hopes for, should be on top.
One can imagine how irritable Yanxueyin must have been during this period.
In addition, in this top eight battle, except for the battle between Ye Qingchen and Xiao Wumo, the other battles involving the other three seed disciples were also without any suspense and nothing to watch.
Therefore, tonight, many people are discussing who will win tomorrow, Ye Qingchen or Xiao Wumo.
As a result, the Confucian-style study room seemed very lively tonight.
————————
The next day.
On the stage.
Today's first round of the quarterfinals has just begun, and it ended very quickly.
Ren Qianzhong easily won this battle without wasting any effort.
I believe that in the subsequent two battles between Qi Ziyan and Xia Qingyao, they will win easily.
Therefore, the next battle between Ye Qingchen and Xiao Wumo became even more eye-catching.
"Go ahead and be careful."
Yun Yangqing spoke out: "You are both sword cultivators, and your mutual understanding and knowledge of the way of swordsmanship will cause a gap between the two of you."
"But who wins and who loses depends on your performance."
"Please rest assured, Master Yun, I naturally understand the reason behind this."
Ye Qingchen clasped his hands and said solemnly: "No matter what, I will never be lax or careless."
He knew that the reason why Yun Yangqing did this was because he saw that he was extremely confident in facing Xiao Wumo, and did not want him to stumble due to being too conceited, so he said a few words specifically.
From this, it can be seen that Yun Yangqing is making him alert to himself all the time.
Ye Qingchen naturally understood her intention.
The next moment, he turned around and jumped, his feet touching the ground of Fengyuntai.
Opposite him, Xiao Wumo, holding the scabbard with one hand, was already standing opposite him.
"After hanging around there for so long, are you finally here?"
Xiao Wumo said with a cold face: "Maybe you are scared and are thinking about how to admit defeat later?"
He never likes to wait for others.
Coupled with the loss of face caused by the disciple of Qinglian Sword Pavilion who ran away when he met Ye Qingchen yesterday, he had no good impression of Ye Qingchen even more.
"In such a hurry, do you want to get off the stage early and go home for dinner?"
Ye Qingchen said with a smile.
A simple sentence made Xiao Wumo's expression change instantly.
His aura suddenly became extremely oppressive: "Are you looking for death?!"
"Haha, anyone can say harsh words. The key is to see if you have the ability to do it."
Ye Qingchen smiled and said: "Come, let me see if you have this ability!"
“You will never be disappointed!”
Xiao Wumo spoke coldly, his aura as sharp as a sword condensed to the extreme, and could burst out at any time!
When Yu Ningbai saw this scene, he knew it was time, so he waved his hand and shouted:
"The second game of the quarterfinals begins now!"
boom!
As soon as Yu Ningbai finished speaking, Xiao Wumo's two-fingered parallel sword triggered thousands of cyan sword energy, which converged into an extremely spectacular and mighty torrent of sword energy!
"go!"
Xiao Wumo shouted sharply and pointed his sword slightly in the air.
The mighty torrent of sword energy swept out in an instant, shaking the surrounding space and covering Ye Qingchen!
The torrent of sword energy gathered by Xiao Wumo was clearly more powerful and terrifying than the "Green Lotus Sword Sea" displayed by Fu Tianrui yesterday!
"That's it?"
Facing this torrent of sword energy, Ye Qingchen's face did not show the slightest fear, but instead showed a touch of disdain.
He also wielded a parallel sword with two fingers, and a sword glow burning with colorful divine flames suddenly appeared.
With a stroke of his sword finger, the sword light of colorful flames suddenly expanded to a size of hundreds of feet, and he slashed in the air!
boom--!!!
The colorful flame sword light, which was hundreds of feet in size, seemed to split the sky and cut off the torrent of sword energy directly!
The entire torrent of sword energy was directly split into two! It became fragmented in an instant!
Not even a trace of sword energy escaped to Ye Qingchen!
"?!"
Xiao Wumo's eyes narrowed.
He shouted softly, and a green lotus sword shadow rose into the sky from behind, directly meeting the colorful flame sword light slashed by Ye Qingchen!
boom!
The sword shadow and colorful sword light shattered at the same time.
Endless sword power swept around.
Fortunately, Yu Ningbai and several elders of Rufeng Study opened the defensive barrier in time, so that it did not affect the other disciples in the nine rest areas.
"No way?! Is Ye Qingchen actually so strong?!"
"In the battle in the Heavenly Fantasy Realm, I know that he can fight against an ordinary fourth-level Overlord, and even suppress him."
"But I didn't expect that... Ye Qingchen only used one sword, but Xiao Wumo needed to use two swords in succession to resolve it!"
"Doesn't this mean that Ye Qingchen's swordsmanship is far superior to Xiao Wumo's?!"
"This is too scary!"
Seeing the incredible scene just now, everyone's faces were full of surprise.
The previous decisive battle had given them a clearer understanding of Ye Qingchen's strength.
Although they still couldn't believe it, they were convinced that Ye Qingchen could fight against, and even defeat, the fourth-level Overlord with average talent.
But is Xiao Wumo an ordinary fourth-level Overlord?
on the contrary.
He is even considered a leader among the younger generation in the same realm except for the Four Holy Lands!
How can it be considered average?!
Therefore, people found it so incredible when he used two consecutive sword moves to neutralize one of Ye Qingchen's sword moves!
"Unexpectedly, your swordsmanship is far beyond the original level, and is even slightly better than mine..."
Xiao Wumo frowned and said.
He didn't expect that Ye Qingchen would actually make achievements in the art of swordsmanship.
Moreover, his swordsmanship skills are even better than his own!
"Haha, so you don't need to use such clumsy tricks to test my strength."
Ye Qingchen chuckled lightly and said, "Just use your full strength."
"……as you wish."
Xiao Wumo made a faint sound and put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
Clang!
There was a slight clang.
But it seemed to ring in everyone's ears.
Then, in front of Ye Qingchen's eyes, a long sword that was completely blue and had a lotus flower engraved on it appeared.
"This is my sword...the name of the sword is Qinglian...it has been with me in battles for more than ten years, and I have never been defeated."
