Chapter 1924: Sword Tossing

Translator: StarveCleric <i class="_hr">Editor: Millreen, but she fell in defeat soon enough

The fourth opponent was an arrogant young man, but he too did not persevere beyond tenin control, not scaring away the other challengers fro Xuan nodded in contentment at his self-control

What he did not knoas that, to the others, being able to spar with an expert of such caliber with just five hundred Ethereal Coins was an invaluable opportunity for them, so there was no reason for them to pass on it

It could be said that they were earning a huge profit just by challenging Zhang Xuan in a duel

It was not as if they could die in the duel, so they had nothing to lose

“Senior, what’s your opinion on that World’s Edge?”

Outside the dueling ring, two figures leaning on a nearby pillar watched the live feed on the screen as they spoke

The person as speaking was dressed in green, and he was hugging a sword Despite his slackened posture, his eyes reflected a sharp Sword Intent that was at odds with his de too was also holding a sword in his hands, and the Sword Intent that he emanated was even more intense It was clear that he was a skilled sword practitioner just by his presence

Both Xuanjiang City and Starlight City were under the jurisdiction of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, so there werethe populace In fact, even in the dueling ring, ers chose to wield a sword

“The fact that he’s able to alternate between feint and real attacks, as well as his ability to carry out Infinitesimal Maneuver, shows that the precision of his control over his strength has reached an incredible level, not paling in comparison even to me There’s no doubt that he’s an expert!” The senior nodded with a s in comparison to the disciples of our Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion!”

“Those two skills are the elementary requirements one has to meet in order to officially become a disciple of our sect Mostthat off It’s only in a ree fuss over this o and sign up for the dueling ring and show that fellow that there’s a wider world out there!” the senior instructed

“Rest assured! If I can’t make him admit within three ht and practice the Transient Swords Tao replied with a confident s We have yet to choose the new outer disciples and ht on time Further the local populace, and if Elder Lu learns of it, he’ll surely reprieniuses from a major sect, it was inappropriate for thee the newbies in the area This was no different fro by a local coe its tea like that, and it would only sully their reputation

“I understand!” Huang Tao nodded as he walked toward the fe for hi Xuan’s fifth opponent

“Look at Dire Swordsman’s win ratio!”

“He’s only lost five matches out of a hundred? Isn’t that insanity?”

“What a ridiculous score this is! It seee has reallya sword, this duel will likely be a sword duel We’ve only seen World’s Edge’s expertise in hand-to-hand combat; we haven’t seen his expertise with the sword”

Every single co reflected on the screen Dire Swords only fivethe crowd

The crowd initially expected it to be a one-sided battle just like those before, but the opinions were soon divided in now

Soe had displayed exceptional hand-to-hand coood with a weapon in hand

Given his opponent’s name, Dire Swordsman, and his score to date, he was likely an exceptional sword practitioner

“Pick up your weapon!”

In the dueling ring, Huang Tao held onto his sword as he gestured to Zhang Xuan

“Very well!”

WithoutXuan flicked his wrist, and a sword from the nearby weapon rack swiftly flew into his hands

There were no tiers to the swords in the Ethereal Hall They were only tools used to execute one’s swordss such as weapon spirit did not exist within theive you two chances before I draw et close toTao remarked calmly

As a disciple of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, he had his own honor to uphold

“You aren’t going to draw your sword right away?” Zhang Xuan taken aback With a frown on his forehead, he ht lose your life if so…”

“Audacious!” Huang Tao exclaimed with a darkened face “Make your move, or else you won’t have to a chance to do so very soon!”

“Alright then!” Zhang Xuan sighed helplessly

He raised the sword in his hand and flicked it around casually, as if he was trying to get used to it Without taking a single step forward, he flicked his finger all of a sudden

Weng!

The sword flew out of his hand

Before he could even rip over his sword!

This was one of the greatest taboos in battle! Once a cultivator lost their weapon in battle, they would have to face their opponent bare-handed, thus putting theeous position!

“That’s too reckless!”

“Is that fellow trying to ad the duel were stunned by what they were seeing

They had never expected to see such carelessness froe

“Look, World’s Edge has turned his body around!”

“You’re right! What does heto adhtest shred of sportsmanshi+p in hirewe turned around and raised his hands after tossing out his sword, as if celebrating so up after seeing Dire Swordsman’s i for World’s Edge to surrender, but as he raising his hand so triu?

Standing on the opposite end of the stage, Huang Tao was taken aback by the situation as well

He had no idea what his opponent was up to or as going on Even if his opponent wanted to admit defeat, the latter should say so verbally instead of displaying such uncertain gestures!

Just as he was deep in thought, his senior anxiously yelled, “Huang Tao, don’t let your guard down! Be careful!”

That re Tao back froathered his attention once more However, before he knew it, the sword that his opponent had tossed ever so casually had already slowly made its way to him

Theone the feeling that it was floating quietly in the air When it was just threetoward hi Tao immediately drew the sword in his embrace to protect hi pain in his head

Putong!

His body fell uncontrollably to the ground as his consciousness swiftly vanished The sword had already pierced his head and ended hi Tao’s corpse swiftly dissipated into light particles before vanishi+ng altogether, leaving only the sword that he had been holding earlier on the ground

Dying in the Ethereal Hall would not cause any harm to one’s real body, but the Ethereal Token that one wielded would shatter and lose its function Similarly, one’s avatar and consciousness in the Ethereal Hall would vanish as well

In other words, dying in the Ethereal Hall was not completely without cost
