67: Your sword Xihe can actually compete with my Blue Sea Snake Talisman?

"Ah? Is this Ji Xuantian's level?"

"Hahaha, if his level is really like this, it's going to be hilarious."

"Could he be hiding his strength?"

"No way, his moves and abilities are clear with a simple check, is there a need to hide them?"

"He must have his own ideas, let's wait and see."

"..."

[Collapse Value +40]

Everyone was almost completely disappointed by Ji Xuantian's performance.

Originally, there were many people in the arena who had heard a little about his reputation but hadn't seen him with their own eyes.

Now that they saw him in person, they all couldn't help but shake their heads.

Only Ye Liuhuo and the others were not careless.

"As far as I know."

Liu Qingxue glanced at the few people beside her and said softly, "Ji Xuantian possesses many sword moves, among the more famous ones are..."

She was a very cautious person.

To prevent them from all being defeated by the opponent alone later, she first shared the information she knew with the others here.

The detail of this information made Ye Liuhuo, who also understood Ji Xuantian, feel ashamed.

"You specifically investigated him?"

"Yes, but strictly speaking, I specifically investigated all of the top ten prodigies this time."

Liu Qingxue admitted it without hesitation.

"What about you? From your look, you also know him very well?" she asked Ye Liuhuo.

"That's right..."

Ye Liuhuo looked at the fight in the arena and said with a wry smile, "Although I am a member of the Ye Family, due to some internal family conflicts, I followed my mother to the Nanling Continent from a young age. When I was still in the Heaven-Human Realm, Ji Xuantian challenged me. He and I are considered old rivals."

"Then you should be from the Nanling Continent, why did Tianji Restaurant list you as from the Northern Barbarian Continent?" The fat monk Zhang Jiuyun asked with a curious look.

"Heh heh, it's all thanks to my young master cousin."

Ye Liuhuo shook his head and said simply, "If he hadn't brought such shame to the family, I wouldn't have needed to be called back to carry the banner of the number one person among the younger generation of the Ye Family."

And at this moment.

Ji Xuantian in the arena still didn't know that his opponents had already clearly shared information about his abilities during the time he was stalling.

He was still struggling desperately.

That's right!

Zhou Hao had already completely spread out the talisman field, and now he had to face various attacks from all directions.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...!"

"Damn it! If this continues, I'm bound to lose!"

Ji Xuantian, kneeling on the ground, panting, covered in scars and looking quite disheveled, gritted his teeth.

Now he had almost completely lost the ability to fight back!

[Zhou Hao's Spirit-Retreating Talisman Array is severely draining your spiritual power and stamina. You know that if you continue to hide your strength, you will soon be defeated. So at this critical moment, you decide—]

[A: Continue not using it, let others know that you didn't use any magic the entire time, believing that you intentionally wanted to lose.]

[B: Start realizing and fight seriously, making a desperate last stand.]

[C: Surrender and admit defeat.]

[D: Once you lose, you'll have nothing. Quickly and frantically use your trump card moves and hidden techniques that no one has ever seen before, attempting to turn the tide.]

Lin Sheng observed the situation and finally chose D.

"Once a talisman master or formation master has set up the field, they are basically invincible among those of the same realm—unless the opponent has heaven-defying combat power like me."

"But now, Ji Xuantian, whose realm is only Shenwang First Level and has suffered such heavy losses, has absolutely no hope."

"It's better to take this opportunity to expose his trump cards and leave people with the image of fighting back desperately but still being defeated."

On the martial arts stage.

Ji Xuantian suddenly realized!

How foolish!

He was really foolish!

Why hide his strength? If he had used his full power attack from the start, maybe he would have already defeated three opponents by now.

Intense regret lingered in his heart, but what followed was a desire for victory so strong that he no longer cared about anything else!

"I have never been defeated by an opponent who is only one realm higher than me!"

"This battle must not be lost!"

Under everyone's gaze, he suddenly roared and climbed up: "I won't lose! Come out! True Flame Sword!"

A spiritual sword, golden all over with a blade flowing with vermilion flames, appeared in his hand, replacing the original simple and unadorned black sword.

"True Flame Sword!?"

Zhou Hao opposite was clearly startled: "The sword that the Nanling Sword God once requested Mother Xishan to forge? How is it in your hands?"

The fame and deeds of the Nanling Sword God were known to some extent by every cultivator.

"Because..."

Facing the gaze of his opponent and everyone offstage, Ji Xuantian generously admitted: "I am precisely the sole successor of the Nanling Sword God!"

"Watch my move! One Sword Western River!"

One Sword Western River was created by the Nanling Sword God after observing the Western River.

The moment the spiritual sword was swung, waves of sword energy, one after another, would surge towards the enemy like a great river, carrying dazzling beautiful scenery.

Those with weak willpower could easily have their minds confused, and then be torn to shreds by the sword energy that arrived in an instant, layered like ocean waves!

"Azure Sea Snake Talisman!"

Zhou Hao was indeed momentarily confused, but luckily Ji Xuantian's move wasn't released quickly, so he immediately used his strongest move to resist.

"..."

Both sides were injured.

"Not bad."

Zhou Hao gasped for breath, feeling the spiritual power draining from his body. Although he was amazed that the opponent still had such strength at this point, he still laughed loudly on the surface: "Your One Sword Western River is indeed powerful, it can actually match my Azure Sea Snake Talisman."

If the other party could be so arrogant, what was wrong with him, a "child," being a little arrogant?

This sentence made Ji Xuantian almost spit blood.

A sword move created by the world's number one Sword Immortal, matching an unknown minor skill?

[Collapse Value +10]

"Ahhhhh! I'm going to kill you!!"

Ji Xuantian was completely enraged. He threw out all his trump cards and sword moves in one go.

However.

Using these sword moves so recklessly completely depleted his spiritual power.

His mind went blank.

Under everyone's gaze, he fell straight to the ground, and the True Flame Sword in his hand also slipped and fell.

The match ended.

The winner—Zhou Hao!

[Collapse Value +100]

"No way!? Is this Ji Xuantian really that weak!?"

"It's not bad! Almost defeating Zhou Hao, who is a God King, with a Shenwang First Level cultivation is already very impressive!"

"I didn't expect the successor of the Nanling Sword God to be so weak, it's truly a disgrace to the Nanling Sword God."

"Alas, even after giving it his all, he couldn't turn the tide..."

[Collapse Value +60]

When Ji Xuantian was woken up by cold water, he heard such comments filling the square.

The rage in his heart almost made him faint again.

Which time before did he not easily defeat several opponents higher than his own realm?

Now everyone was saying he "almost defeated an opponent one realm higher, which is quite good." Wasn't this greatly lowering others' evaluation of him instead!

"Ahhhhh!"

"It shouldn't be like this! It shouldn't be like this!!"

Ji Xuantian painfully clutched his head, unwilling to accept such reality.
