Seize a dragon boat!
Eight hundred dragon boats were squeezed into the narrow Luoyan Gorge. The sect elites whose dragon boats capsized flew towards other dragon boats at the side.
If they did not seize the dragon boats and were not allowed to retreat to the shore, they would only die!
“Go away!”
Some people on the dragon boats shouted. Then beams of magical power flew into the sky.
The water dragon swirled, and wind blades filled the sky!
Meteorites fell from the sky, and fire clouds lingered.
The magical technique and sword light collided, creating clouds and waves!
Turbid waves surged, and more dragon boats were affected. They collided with the reefs on the shore and turned into fragments.
In an instant, nearly a thousand sect elites flew above the water and rushed in all directions.
Several figures landed in front of a dragon boat.
A cold glint flashed across the eyes of a green-robed Daoist sitting cross-legged at the bow of the ship.
“Who dares to attack my Xuansheng Dao’s dragon boat?”
As soon as the Daoist finished speaking, the two sword lights behind him slashed down!
The sword turned into a green dragon, and flames flew everywhere!
Two sword lights swept past, and the bodies that were charging towards the dragon boat were all shattered by the sword.
Although Xuansheng Dao was not one of the nine sects, they were one of the sects that were competing for the nine sects.
In the past two years, many young experts of the Xuansheng Dao Sect had become famous.
The Daoist sitting at the bow of the boat was called Wang Xuanji. He was a Daoist of the Xuansheng Dao Sect, and his cultivation and combat strength were extremely high.
According to the information obtained by the Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s Battle Sword Hall, Wang Xuanji’s cultivation level was half a step into the Golden Core realm and he was good at three wind-element divine powers.
“Buzz!”
On Wang Xuanji, who was sitting in front of the dragon boat, a green spiritual light flashed and turned into wind blades that protected the sky above the dragon boat.
A young man in a black robe came over with a sword. The aura on his body was at the fifth level of the Meridian Opening Realm and above. He was an expert of a certain sect’s younger generation.
This person held a long sword and slashed at the wind blade.
“Buzz!”
The sword shook and shattered into pieces.
The young man was wrapped in the wind blades and killed.
Earth Realms were as fragile as rags in front of this tornado!
No matter how many people wanted to come, they did not dare to land on the Xuansheng Dao’s dragon boat.
However, after a hundred breaths, the unfalling dragon boat would weigh a thousand tons with every breath. Who could stop it?
“Boom!”
A dragon boat wrapped in spiritual light charged forward, shattering the reefs and vortexes and entering the Luoyan Gorge.
“The Spiritual Dao Sect is indeed extraordinary.” Looking at the golden light that enveloped them, someone on the shore whispered.
The dragon boat of the Spiritual Dao Sect was leading the way.
“In the end, he’s still the overlord of the Western Frontier. You’ll only see his glory when you fight for the first place.”
In the sky, a Golden Core cultivator stroked his beard and chuckled.
This person wore a Daoist robe and was obviously from a Daoist sect.
The Western Frontier’s Daoist sects respected the Spiritual Dao Sect.
After he said that, the surrounding Daoist sect experts all laughed.
Many people looked at Tuoba Cheng.
A mere Nine Mystic Sword Sect dares to compete with the Spiritual Dao Sect?
Ridiculous, they thought.
“Clang—”
A sword cry sounded. Below, a thousand-foot-long sword light flashed, flattening the water 10,000 feet ahead.
Before the waves fell, a dragon boat rushed out and went against the waves, passing through the Luoyan Gorge ahead.
Tai Yi Sword Sect.
“The number one sect in the Sword Dao is really powerful,” someone exclaimed as they watched the dragon boat sail through the waves.
“Was the person who drew his sword the number one direct disciple of the Tai Yi Sword Sect, Feng Yuange?” someone asked in a low voice, staring at the dragon boat.
“I don’t know. I heard that Feng Yuange’s combat strength is comparable to a fifth-level Golden Core Realm cultivator. He didn’t use his full strength when he attacked just now.”
“Boom!”
At this moment, the waves slashed by the Tai Yi Sword Sect’s sword light flowed back and collided, causing the dragon boats behind to shake unstably. Several of them fell into the water.
As soon as the cultivators fell into the water, black shadows rushed out of the water and bit them.
Roars, screams, sword cries, and explosions of spells sounded.
This place was narrow, and the strange black-armored fish that were originally scattered everywhere gathered here.
There was a black shadow in the water, and it was impossible to tell how many of these strange fish there were.
Black fish, broken boats, and cultivators who fell into the water. The river was chaotic.
Behind them, black waves could be seen rushing over.
More black-armored fish rushed over, causing waves that blotted out the sky.
Each of these black-armored fish had the strength of an Earth Realm expert.
If they passed through the Luoyan Gorge and were surrounded by these countless black-armored fish, they would definitely die!
In front of them, the dragon boats of the Wind Spirit Sword Sect, the Yuntai Dao Sect, the Shangyang Demon Sect, and the other major sects of the Western Frontier were all enveloped in spiritual light as they moved forward in a straight line. They broke through the waves and headed towards the Luoyan Gorge.
Behind them, the others with sufficient strength also pushed the speed of the dragon boat to the limit, turning into a golden line on the water.
“I didn’t expect that this first round would determine who is stronger and who is weaker.” In the sky, a Golden Core cultivator sighed softly. “My Wood Spirit Dao is still too weak. Only 31 of us have charged into the Luoyan Gorge.”
Although the sequence of entering the Luoyan Gorge could not completely show one’s strength, it could be seen that those with powerful strength could enter safely in advance.
Most of the sects that wanted to compete for the qualifications of the nine sects were in the first tier.
The Golden Core experts of the Wood Spirit Dao seemed emotional, but they were actually showing off.
At this moment, there were still more than 700 dragon boats stranded outside the Luoyan Gorge. The fact that the Wood Spirit Dao could pass through in advance showed their strength.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him enviously.
“Eh, it seems like the Nine Mystic Sword Sect…”
Someone whispered and glanced at Tuoba Cheng, whose expression did not change.
At this moment, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s dragon boat was clearly among the hundreds of dragon boats and was bobbing along with the waves.
There was no visible threat or outstanding technique about it.
With this standard, they dare to challenge the Spiritual Dao Sect and compete for the number one sect in the Western Frontier? they wondered.
