A warrior at the middle stage of the Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm wasn't even able to force Fang Chen to use his full strength.
Bang
This warrior who was initially hooting heavily fell to the ground. His face was ashen, wishing that he could find a hole to hide in.
Fang Chen's body had reached the Tristar Dao Body realm, so the strength of his body was not something he could defend against.
Fang Chen's punch sent the disciple flying, causing an uproar. Even Heavenly Sword Zi who was on the main platform had a face full of shock.
"Tristar Dao Body?"
He was experienced and knowledgeable, hence he was able to see through Fang Chen's physical strength.
"This kid isn't bad, he's actually able to reach the Tristar Dao Body at such a young age." Tian Jianzi thought to himself.
After Fang Chen's battle ended, the remaining matches were more anxious.
The second round of the competition lasted for two hours before it was completely over. The second round had a total of twenty disciples eliminated, and the remaining twenty disciples entered the third round.
In the third round, there were 20 disciples. Two against two, a total of 10 matches.
The first one to go on stage was still Xiahou Wu. His strength was too tyrannical, the warriors he fought didn't even have the courage to fight, and directly admitted defeat.
Fang Chen's competition was in the seventh match, his opponent's name was Liang Han, and he was one of the ten outer sect disciples.
When Liang Han saw that Fang Chen was his opponent, his face revealed a sinister look. In the back row of the main platform, Mo Yiqing saw this scene, and sneered in his heart, Liang Han was his disciple that he had arranged beforehand. His goal this time was to kill Fang Chen, but who would have thought that they would run into each other in the third round.
"Fang Chen, you're dead for sure." Mo Yiqing said coldly.
On the plaza, countless disciples were staring at Fang Chen and Liang Han. On the stage right now, Liang Han's face was filled with an arrogant smile.
"Fang Chen, although you are powerful, when you meet me, Liang Han, you can only stop." Liang Han laughed coldly.
Fang Chen squinted his eyes. He could feel a trace of killing intent from Liang Han.
"Killing intent?"
Fang Chen thought to himself, and then he quietly observed Liang Han, even though Liang Han tried his best to hide it, it was still caught by Fang Chen.
Liang Han didn't give Fang Chen too much of a chance, his figure flashed, and instantly unleashed a tyrannical technique, wanting to take the opportunity to kill Fang Chen.
After sensing Liang Han's killing intent, Fang Chen took out the Star-Hidden Sword. This was the first time Fang Chen took out a Star-Hidden Sword.
Crash …
The body of the Star-Hidden Sword emitted a terrifying aura, and Fang Chen immediately executed Water-Fire Sword Art's sixth level.
Whoosh …
A boundless sword light instantly shot out from the Star-Hidden Sword, and in the next moment, this sword light directly collided with Liang Han's long sword.
Ka-cha …
Liang Han's long sword instantly shattered, and at that moment, the smile on his face vanished, replaced with a look of fear.
"How is this possible?"
Before Liang Han even finished speaking, Fang Chen's Sword-light of fire and water had fiercely pierced into his body.
Bang
Liang Han's body heavily fell to the ground.
"How is this possible?"
The entire plaza was in an uproar. Countless disciples were in shock as waves of shock swept through their hearts.
In the second round, Fang Chen sent a punch flying towards the middle stage of the Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, and in the third round, Fang Chen heavily injured Liang Han with one strike.
Before anyone could even wake up from their shock, Liang Han had already lost his life.
"Liang Han is dead." A disciple shouted.
All of a sudden, the elders on the platform frowned.
At this moment, Mo Yiqing's face turned ice-cold as he said in a cold voice, "Sect Master, this child is too vicious. He actually killed a fellow sect disciple in the Large Competition."
Sect Master, this child's strength is enough to crush Liang Han, but he chose to kill Liang Han directly, in violation of the sect rules.
Several elders said in succession. They were very angry at Fang Chen's actions.
He realized that even he was a little unable to see through Fang Chen. The more it was like this, the more curious Heavenly Sword Zi became towards Fang Chen.
Amidst the condemnation of the crowd, Heavenly Sword Zi finally spoke.
"Fang Chen killing Liang Han was truly a accidental kill. In all of the previous great competitions, because of accidentally killing many disciples, I think Fang Chen did not break the sect rules." Tian Jian Zi said in a low voice.
Since even the Heavenly Sword Son had appeared to protect Fang Chen, the other elders did not dare to say anything, especially Mo Yiqing, who stared at him furiously. If looks could kill, Fang Chen would have been killed many times over.
Fang Chen's face was filled with calmness as he gave a slight bow to Heavenly Sword Zi, expressing his gratitude.
Even the five disciples standing in front of the outer sect gate had their attention fixed on Fang Chen. Amongst the crowd, the number one disciple of the outer sect, Xiahou Wu, had a trace of golden light flashing across her eyes.
"It's been a long time since I've met an opponent in the outer sect. I wonder if you can let me go all out?" Xiahou Wu said in his heart.
The third round of the competition ended in complete astonishment.
When the third round of the competition ended, everyone's eyes were filled with envy. A disciple who could make it to the fourth round would also be able to enter the top ten.
In order to enter the top ten of the outer sect, not only could they obtain a large amount of resources, they could also obtain unimaginable benefits. Many disciples' faces were full of envy.
As expected, Fang Chen easily entered the top ten outer door. Following that, everyone started to guess whether Fang Chen could actually enter the top five.
The results of the fourth round would be revealed.
The fourth round of the competition was about to begin. Tian Jian Zi had given the order for the ten disciples who had entered the fourth round to take a break.
Fang Chen nodded and sat cross-legged in the resting area, ready to recover the spiritual energy in his body.
Right at this moment, a burly man walked to the front of Fang Chen, and looked at him with resentment.
"Fang Chen, you killed Liang Han." The tall and sturdy man said coldly.
"So what?" Fang Chen looked up at the muscular man and asked.
"When killing someone, you must be prepared to be killed." The burly man said with a sneer.
"So?" Fang Chen said.
"So, in the following matches, you'd better pray that you don't run into me, or else you won't live past today." With that, the burly man turned around and left.
After the burly man left, a disciple beside Fang Chen said in a low voice: "Fang Chen, you have to be careful, Zhu Yuan is a man who is ruthless and merciless, if he dares to say that, he will definitely kill you in the competition."
Fang Chen nodded and did not say a word.
Zhu Yuan was previously ranked fifth among the outer sect disciples. Although he was only ranked fifth, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm and although he was also at the peak of the Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, he was still incomparable to Xiahou Wu.
However, Zhu Yuan believed that he could kill Fang Chen.
The time it took to burn an incense stick passed quickly, and the rest was over.
In the third round of the competition, a total of ten disciples were eliminated. The remaining ten disciples entered the fourth round.
Those who were able to persevere to this point were all extremely powerful.
The fourth round of the competition had begun. Fang Chen's opponent was a disciple whose strength was slightly weaker. When he saw that Fang Chen was his opponent, his face was filled with helplessness.
In the end, under the gazes of everyone present, he directly admitted defeat.
As their opponent admitted defeat, Fang Chen easily entered the fifth place, causing many disciples to exclaim.
The five matches were quickly over. Among the disciples who had entered the top five, besides Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu, there was also the Zhu Yuan who had threatened Fang Chen before. The other two were the five disciples who had been in the outer court for the previous tournament.
After the fourth round ended, the next round would be the competition for the top three positions.
This round of the competition would not be held in the form of a battle. Heavenly Sword Zi had already decided on the process of the competition, and at that moment, he slowly stood up, looked at the five people, and said, "The five of you can enter the top five amongst the numerous disciples. Very well, the following matches will be different from the previous matches."
Many disciples listened to Heavenly Sword Zi's words.
"For this round of the competition, the five of you will separately climb the Divine Pillars of Heaven. In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the final ranking will be based on the height of each individual's position above the Divine Pillars of Heaven." Tian Jian Zi said.
Instantly, countless disciples cried out in alarm.
The Tong Tian Divine Pillar had already been sealed in the Baimei Sword Sect for many years. He did not expect that it would once again appear in the mortal world for the sake of his five disciples.
The Heavenly God Pillar was originally just an ordinary stone pillar, but after a long time, the Heavenly God Pillar absorbed the sword intent of every generation of warriors in the Baimei Sword Sect.
Finally, after a long period of time, a boundless sword intent was contained within the divine pillar. Ordinary martial artists were simply unable to approach the surroundings of the divine pillar.
Only those extremely talented sword cultivators would be able to get close to the Skypiercing God Pillar. Wanting to climb to the Skypiercing God Pillar was even more unattainable.
This time, the reason why the Heavenly Sword Son released the Divine Pillar was because he wanted to see exactly how strong the potential of the way of the sword was for this year's outer sect disciple.
"The Heavenly Divine Pillar has actually been unsealed. Could it be that a Heavenly Sword Son will appear among the current batch of outer disciples?"
"In all the great competitions in the past, as long as a Heavenly God Pillar appears, a Heavenly Sword Son will definitely appear, and this time will not be an exception."
"It's really exciting. I never thought that after so many years, a Heavenly Sword Son would actually appear."
"Don't even think about it, the Heavenly Sword Son is a Xiahou Wu and no one can shake his position."
When they found out that the Tong Tian Divine Pillar was going to be unsealed, all of the disciples went completely crazy, even Xiahou Wu and the rest were excited.
If one could climb the divine pillar and become number one in this year's tournament, they could become a Heavenly Sword Son.
The Heavenly Sword Son was a form of address given to peak disciples by the Baimei Sword Sect. To be able to become a Heavenly Sword Son, he would definitely become a sword cultivator that would shock the entire Ancient Sword Continent in the future.
In all of Baimei Sword Sect's previous generations of Heavenly Sword Son, other than the disciples who died in the middle, the other Heavenly Sword Son s all became powerful sword cultivators that shocked the entire Ancient Sword Continent.
This time, when the Heavenly God Pillar was unsealed, the Heavenly Sword Son would definitely appear within the group of five.
Becoming the Heavenly Sword Son would also mean that he would become the next Sect Master of Baimei Sword Sect!
"Heavenly Sword Son?"
