Peerless Sovereign

It was only the first day. Although there were some strong experts who were starting to shine, almost everyone still had some strength left and didn't rush forward.    

The next day was finally going to be a hot one.    

Almost everyone in front of him had already started fighting. Those people who were observing from the sidelines also roughly recognized their strength, and began to attack with their full strength.    

Some of the people's rankings started to soar.    

After entering the sect, he sold the treasures he did not need to the sect and actually exchanged them for thousands of achievement points. After three months of painstaking cultivation in the Hanhai Pavilion, he converted them into his own strength and only on the second day in the afternoon did he make his move. In a short span of half a day, he arrived at the top 30 places and seemed to still have some remaining strength.    

And in the Great Spirit Outer Sect, there appeared to be such a disciple. Before, it was so secretive that it suddenly exploded, and only stopped when it reached the top twenty.    

Of course, in the eyes of the others, Gu Yuankai and Luo Xiaoyu were both dark horses. Before the ranking challenge, no one had heard of them and they had no reputation.    

Although the second day was extremely hot, it was still mainly concentrated among the disciples that were ranked lower. Disciples that were within the top twenty rarely took action.    

Although there was some luck in the selection, it was certainly impossible to be ranked in the top 20 based on luck. There was still some strength in the rankings and very few people were willing to provoke them.    

By the end of the second day, the rankings had almost been decided.    

On the third day, although the battle had become more intense, the rankings were no longer the same as the previous two days.    

The third day's challenges had all become much slower, with almost all of them taking place within the top ten.    

Every one of them seemed to have become more cautious, cautiously advancing forward.    

Apart from his battle with Qiu Nu on the first day, Su Lie had revealed his true strength. Those people had automatically ranked him at the top and no one dared to challenge him again.    

"Qiu Nu, challenge Liu Xuanyue!"    

Qiu Nu went up the stage again.    

On the stone pillars, the disciples could not help but be in an uproar. After losing once, they still wanted to challenge him?    

"If we lose again, it will be ugly!"    

Some of the disciples chuckled as they looked at Qiu Nu's voice.    

"Brother Qiu Nu is still very strong. I can only say that Su Lie is even stronger."    

"Don't underestimate him. He has a high chance of winning when he fights with Liu Xuanyue."    

"Su Lie has already made his move once. I've never seen Liu Xuanyue make her move before. I wonder if she's that powerful as well."    

"Just wait and see. We'll know in a while."    

"This Liu Xuanyue has a great reputation even in the Outer Sect. It's unknown who will win in a fight with Senior Brother Qiu."    

In an instant, the sounds of discussion buzzed from the stone pillars.    

Liu Xuanyue was extremely straightforward. She stood up, her figure flashed as she descended onto the arena.    

"Please!"    

Liu Xuanyue wore a black dress that looked like a black ice lotus. She was cold and proud. With a clench of her hand, her crimson longsword fell into her grasp.    

Before he challenged Su Lie, Qiu Nu was full of confidence. He said some harsh words and was easily defeated by Su Lie, causing him to lose a lot of face. This time, he didn't waste any more words.    

Liu Xuanyue raised her palm horizontally and swept it across the sword's body. A layer of dense light immediately enveloped the crimson longsword. At the same time, a sharp aura burst out from her body like a violent gale.    

Qiu Nu roared. He stomped his feet on the ground and dashed towards Liu Xuanyue.    

Actually, with a single glance, one could tell that Qiu Nu was good at close combat. Once Qiu Nu got close to him, he would probably be extremely terrifying.    

His voice was extremely tyrannical. If he was allowed to stay close to them, there would be very few people who could resist his berserk attacks.    

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"    

Liu Xuanyue rotated her wrist and suddenly, sword shadows continuously shot out. Each sword shadow was several zhang long and incomparably sharp. The sword qi slashed horizontally with Liu Xuanyue as the center and every inch of space within a hundred feet around her was enveloped by countless sword Qis.    

Qiu Nu let out a loud roar, took a step forward and stood up. Ignoring the sword qi, he slightly bent his arm and stared at Liu Xuanyue who was in the center of the sword qi, furiously rushing down.    

"Dang, dang, dang!"    

Streams of sword Qi landed on his body, but most of them were blocked by the armor in front of him. The rest landed on his body, only leaving a few white marks.    

"What a terrifying body!"    

Su Lie's pupils constricted slightly.    

If he had not used the Triple Mountain Fragment's absolute strength to suppress Qiu Nu, it would not have been that easy to defeat him.    

Boom!    

Qiu Nu suddenly punched down. In front of his fist, a wave of Qi rippled and shot down like an invisible giant pillar.    

"Bam!"    

Liu Xuanyue held her sword horizontally as she abruptly slid backwards, all the way until she reached the edge of the arena. Only then did she use her palms and feet to prop herself up.    

The strength of Qiu Nu's body had also far exceeded Liu Xuanyue's expectations.    

Although she did her best to dispel the power contained within that punch, the blood within her body also fluctuated.    

"Senior Qiu's strength is indeed extraordinary. Senior Liu doesn't seem to be a match for him."    

"To be able to push senior sister Liu back with a single punch. This is such a terrifying power …"    

"Just now, who will win and who will lose, it is still too early to say!"    

The disciples below began whispering.    

"Senior Sister Liu shouldn't have used her full strength yet!"    

Su Lie shook his head and chuckled.    

He had exchanged blows with Liu Xuanyue before. Su Lie was well aware of her strength. That move just now might have been powerful, but it was definitely not Liu Xuanyue's strongest martial art.    

Qiu Nu pushed Liu Xuanyue back with a punch. Both of his feet stomped on the stage. Without any hesitation, he rushed forward again to attack Liu Xuanyue.    

Liu Xuanyue's feet slightly stomped on the edge of the stage. With a flash of her black shadow, she appeared in front of Qiu Nu and slashed her long sword diagonally.    

The crimson longsword in her hand was bright red and exuded a terrifying temperature, as if it had just been taken out from the furnace.    

Qiu Nu threw a punch. However, under his punch, a black shadow flashed by and the crimson long sword instantly cut through half of Qiu Nu's armor.    

A half foot long sword mark instantly appeared on the upper half of the armor. The sword marks were all scarlet red and were melting at the edges.    

"So terrifying …"    

Outside, Su Lie and the others were watching with their hearts in their mouths.    

If the sword landed on Qiu Nu's body, he would instantly be seriously injured.    

Qiu Nu's pupils constricted. Then, with a low growl, he stomped his foot down. Around his body, ring after ring of air waves instantly expanded like a sharp blade.    

"Ding!"    

Liu Xuanyue appeared behind him in a flash, and the circular airwaves arrived before her. She could only use her sword to block.    

However, the power within that ring-shaped Qi wave was still extremely terrifying, and it instantly knocked her away.    

"I'm afraid it won't be easy for Qiu Nu to win against Senior Sister Liu."    

When he saw this, a trace of a smile appeared on Su Lie's face.    

Qiu Nu's strength was indeed terrifying, but his speed was fatal. Whether it was the speed of Liu Xuanyue's attacks or her movement technique, both were extremely fast. He was simply unable to keep up with her.    

He was good at close range combat, but the moment he got close, Liu Xuanyue's speed would be too terrifying. He would become even more dangerous, and if he relied on that technique to push Liu Xuanyue away, how could he win?    

"Brute force, no brains!"    

In the sky, Yuan Yang and the Eighth Elder also shook their heads repeatedly.    

In their eyes, Qiu Nu was just a live target. No matter how strong he was, it was useless not to be able to hit him. Who would stand there foolishly and fight him head on?    

If he could train in another high level movement technique, coupled with his powerful strength, perhaps it would be alright. But right now, with just his strength alone, he doesn't have the assistance of ranged attacks. With the two elders' eyesight, even if their strength was weaker than his, they could still defeat him easily.    

"Swish, swish, swish …"    

Shadow after shadow flashed past Qiu Nu. The fiery red sword slashed across his body. In the blink of an eye, the eye had left numerous sword scars on his armor, almost dismembering it.    

He roared again and again, throwing punches after punches, but they couldn't even touch the hem of Liu Xuanyue's clothes. He looked extremely comical, as if he was just crazily dancing and waving his arms around by himself.    

"Pfft!"    

Qiu Nu's mind was in a mess and he was momentarily caught off guard. His fiery red sword instantly slashed across his legs.    

"Humph!"    

Qiu Nu let out a grunt. His body flashed and fine sweat appeared on his forehead.    

No matter how strong his physical body was, he would not be able to withstand it. Two bone-deep wounds instantly appeared on his legs, but not a single drop of blood flowed out. The wound was a pitch-black charred mess, faintly emitting the smell of burning flesh.    

With great difficulty, he managed to stabilize his body and raised his head to look at Liu Xuanyue, who was standing there with her sword drawn. His face was ashen.    

He had lost when he challenged Su Lie. He did not expect to lose when he challenged Liu Xuanyue!    

"I admit defeat!"    

He wasn't going to force himself to hold on any longer, or else he would lose all his face.    

"Thanks!"    

Liu Xuanyue lightly nodded her head as her silhouette flashed. After which, she flew back and sat on the second stone pillar.    

Qiu Nu took out a pill and scattered it on his wound. Only then did he slowly return to the stone pillar. However, his entire body seemed to have lost its spirit and his aura became weaker.    

"So boring!"    

Above Su Lie's head, Yu Ling glanced at the defeated Qiu Nu and curled her lips.    

This little girl's identity was not simple. Almost all of the new disciples knew that no one had come to challenge her. She supported her chin with one hand as she sat blankly on the stone pillar. It seemed as if she was about to fall asleep.    

"Junior Brother Su Lie, how about we make a bet?"    

Yu Ling's eyelids twitched as she stared at Su Lie.
