After the training in the Monster Beast Desolate City.
It’s time for the arena battles.
Will determine the power dynamics of Jiangnan City in the future.
This is something the government implicitly acknowledges.
The stronger the martial artists of a family clan, the more resources they can control.
After all, this is an era where martial artists are esteemed.
To resist the demon beasts.
We still have to rely on martial artists.
Therefore, for the families of Jiangnan City, this tournament is of utmost importance.
"The first match, Mu Hai of the Mu Family vs. Nie Ronglong of the Nie Family."
The host announced the names of the combatants.
Subsequently, the two walked onto the platform at Siege Square.
There was hardly any suspense.
The demon beasts hunted by Nie Ronglong were stronger than those by Mu Hai.
From this, it’s apparent there is a difference in their skills.
As expected, after a few moves.
Nie Ronglong punched Mu Hai in the chest.
Immediately, Mu Hai spat blood and flew backward, crashing off the platform.
"Nie Ronglong, wins!"
The next few matches.
Did not stir much commotion.
Hong Yun from the Hong Family and Luo Song from the Luo Family also defeated their respective opponents.
However, the main event is just beginning.
"Xu Cong of the Xu Family, versus Song Yu of the Song Family."
Xu Cong, holding his battle sword, walked confidently onto the platform.
As Xu Dian’s follower.
He was confident in defeating Song Yu.
Even though he didn’t know how Song Yu killed the peak Barbaric Beast.
But that was unimportant.
Meanwhile, Song Yu also walked onto the platform, a step behind.
She held a graceful longsword, her figure slim and her demeanor elegant.
With long strides, she exuded a certain aura.
Standing on the platform, she had a unique allure.
"Xu Cong, a martial artist willing to be someone else’s slave like you, is not worthy of walking further on the martial arts path."
"You cannot defeat me."
Song Yu smirked faintly, immensely confident.
"Hmph! What do you know? Master Xu Dian will become a super strongman in the future."
"All geniuses are just his stepping stones. I came to Jiangnan City to clear some troubles for him."
Xu Cong snorted angrily.
It seemed to him a glory to follow Xu Dian.
A clear sword ring sounded.
Xu Cong wasted no words.
Holding his battle sword.
He thrust a sword toward Song Yu.
As soon as the sword skill was unleashed, it turned into three sword shadows.
Clearly, Xu Cong’s Sword Dao Realm was not weak.
However, Song Yu stood steadily in place,
without a hint of movement.
Her gaze fixed tightly on Xu Cong’s sword.
As the sword shadow approached.
Song Yu’s wrist trembled, her graceful longsword.
Swaying with her arm, she thrust a sword.
Right into the center of Xu Cong’s sword shadow.
Immediately, the afterimage vanished.
Xu Cong’s sword skill was instantly broken.
Song Yu’s action left Xu Cong feeling humiliated.
However, it provoked his ruthlessness.
"Swish swish swish!!!"
Xu Cong quickly shifted his skill, his swordsmanship accelerated.
Three sword shadows, six sword shadows, nine sword shadows.
"This Xu Cong has already reached the Solid Sword Realm of Rain of Sword, a rare genius in Sword Dao!"
"This also reflects how strong Xu Dian of the Xu Family is."
Reidy’s face bore a prideful look.
Xu Dian from the Xu Family was recruited into the Ancient Martial Arts Martial Arts Hall by him.
He even suspected that during the Martial Artist Test, Xu Dian held back significantly.
Xu Dian was definitely not just a genius martial artist.
"It’s a pity, Song Yu of the Song Family is also in the Solid Sword Realm of Rain of Sword."
"Xu Cong is too vicious, his swordsmanship brutal, but lacks agility."
Guo Jianfeng, though not a sword cultivator.
But as an Intermediate War General Martial Artist, he could discern the subtleties.
As soon as Guo Jianfeng’s voice fell.
She suddenly stepped forward.
Her body followed the sword.
The sword followed the hand.
In the air, forming a massive sword flower.
The shape of the sword flower resembled a pear blossom.
"It seems somewhat like the embryonic form of the One Sword Realm of Rain of Sword."
As Song Yu thrust this sword forward,
Zhao Wenman’s smooth forehead frowned, and her red lips emitted a light exclamation.
Song Yu’s sword, as fast as light or lightning, seemed to unite the sword shadows into one.
The graceful sword shadow pierced through Xu Cong’s palm.
And past Xu Cong’s shoulder.
The sharp sword tip stopped at Xu Cong’s throat.
Song Yu’s cool voice rang.
"Ah! How could this be..."
His voice full of disbelief.
Song Yu’s Sword Dao Realm was surprisingly slightly superior to his own.
Xu Cong could not accept this.
But how could Xu Cong know.
Song Yu could achieve this slight breakthrough.
Entirely because she witnessed Ye Qingfeng’s previous Thousand Swords Dragon Slayer move.
"This Song Yu from the Song Family is going to be remarkable in the future!"
The veteran martial artists in the audience sighed one by one.
A thunderous roar echoed throughout Siege Square.
In front of the Xu Family camp.
The young man in black, who had been meditating with closed eyes.
Like a roc spreading its wings.
He jumped onto the platform.
His spiritual power erupted explosively.
Forcing Xu Cong off the platform, utterly embarrassed.
Yet, Xu Cong did not dare utter a word.
He even cast a somewhat respectful glance at the young man.
This person was Xu Tianhao of the Xu Family.
Previously, whether during practical training or in the tournament, he never opened his eyes or spoke a word.
However, for the honor and interests of the Xu Family.
He finally had to step in.
"You... are worthy of making me act."
Xu Tianhao said arrogantly, his tone brimming with boundless dominance.
As if, in his eyes, Song Yu was nothing more than a joke.
Song Yu’s beautiful face turned a shade paler.
She naturally knew who Xu Tianhao was.
A renowned young genius martial artist in the Southern Base City.
Also, extremely overbearing.
Currently, Xu Dian had not yet risen fully.
Therefore, he was the strongest among the young generation of the Xu Family.
Moreover, he never let any grudge go unavenged.
In the Southern Base City, even those in the top ten of Sword Dao talents did not want to provoke him.
"They say Sword Dao is the ultimate way of attack; I, Xu Tianhao, want to see how many slashes you can withstand!"
Xu Tianhao sneered coldly.
The blood pattern long sword in his hand, emanating a cold light.
Like a fierce beast ready to devour.
Song Yu gritted her teeth and spoke.
It seemed she wasn’t prepared to duel with Xu Tianhao.
"To concede, you must show it by kneeling and kowtowing, then get lost..."
Xu Tianhao stabbed the blood pattern long sword into the ground, chuckling mockingly.
"You... go too far..."
Rage surged from Song Yu’s delicate eyebrows.
"If you don’t want to be bullied, then show your strength..."
With that, Xu Tianhao darted in.
He gave Song Yu no time to ponder.
