C108 (1/2)

”First match, Star Gauze Sword Sect wins; second match, prepare, both sides will enter the stage.”

As the referee's announcement sounded out, many of the audience still didn't understand what was going on. However, there were also many people with discerning eyes who were able to see what was going on and began to laugh inwardly.

When Zhou Tong's secret technique was opened and closed, not only did he figure out the opponent's secret technique, he also coaxed the opponent to close the secret technique. Although it was a bit opportunistic, it had to be said that the arrangement was very reasonable.

In the waiting area of the Violet Firmament Palace, the group of Violet Firmament Palace members discussed briefly, and soon after, a female cultivator walked up the stage.

The girl's elegant long hair was coiled into a beautiful bun, and she held a thin, plain sword in her hand. When she walked up the stage, she was able to look at her opponent from ten meters away.

”You are very powerful and cunning,” The girl squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly at Zhou Tong, then said, ”My name is Liu Rui, honestly speaking, I was sent here to wear you down, but this time, I do not want you to win so easily.”

”Tsk tsk, what Violet Firmament Palace is doing is wrong. He sent a beauty over, does this mean that he is reluctant to part with her? ”With evil intentions.” Clucking his lips, Zhou Tong's face was filled with a strange smile. He looked at the sword in Liu Rui's hand and thought to himself.

What Zhou Tong did not expect was that in the Violet Firmament Palace located in the capital city, there was actually a cultivator. The Canglong Mountain was an army, and most martial cultivators were normal, but he never expected that there would be so many martial cultivators here.

The two of them said no more and each stood on their respective swords. Suddenly, both of them moved. Without any warning, both of them tapped their toes at the same time and charged forward.

After observing each other's actions, the two of them simultaneously launched a burst of attacks. In the blink of an eye, the twenty meter distance was completely gone. The two of them collided in the center of the stage.

The two swords clashed, and released a loud sound, following that, Liu Rui flicked her wrist at an extremely fast speed, and slashed her sword downwards.

Zhou Tong also lowered his sword tip to accurately block, and with a push, he deflected Liu Rui's sword. The sword tip swept out, Liu Rui's sword quickly moved to block in front of him, blocking Zhou Tong's attack, and immediately, the two of them separated by about three meters.

”Oh wow, that big sister who trains in Sword Heart is so strong.” Within Zhou Tong's expression, there was a sense of approval. He raised his hand and lightly patted, without the slightest hint of sarcasm, completely out of the joy of discovering his own kind.

With just that one strike, Zhou Tong had already discovered that the lady in front of him was a sword cultivator who was training in Sword Heart, and her moves were intentional.

”I also didn't expect that you would be a cultivator of Sword Heart.” Liu Rui returned the greeting with a smile towards Zhou Tong. It had nothing to do with the tournament, it was a form of etiquette for 'the same kind'.

However, it was precisely because they were of the same species that the victor of this battle would have to be decided by them with all their might.

This was the first time they collided evenly, and Liu Rui was suddenly filled with the desire to win, and after a short period of adjustment, she attacked again. The long sword stabbed forward once more, and Zhou Tong also did the same, as the two swords clashed once again.

But this time, just as the two swords were about to make contact, Liu Rui's wrist flipped, bringing the long sword and spinning around, like a poisonous snake.

On the other hand, Zhou Tong had done the opposite. Borrowing Liu Rui's attack, he gathered some strength in his hands, and immediately bent over, causing the sword to fiercely tremble and release a ring shaped slash, forcing Liu Rui to quickly jump backwards.

The moment Liu Rui landed, Zhou Tong's thrust had already arrived in front of him!

Seeing that, Liu Rui immediately used both hands to block, and at the same time blocking the sharp sword, she pulled Zhou Tong's sword to the side, causing the power of Zhou Tong's thrust to dissipate a bit, and hit nothing but air.

Liu Rui took this opportunity to slash out. Zhou Tong dodged hurriedly with his back bent, his palm hitting the ground, and prepared to kick. However, he was stopped by Liu Rui's knee, and took a step forward.

Just as Zhou Tong stood up, he raised his sword to block Liu Rui's stab. His center of gravity was instantly destroyed, and he anxiously used [Exquisite Dust Shadow] to pull away.

Liu Rui did not give Zhou Tong a chance to catch his breath, and immediately used another thrust to catch up. Relying on the Exquisite Dust Shadow's ingenuity, Zhou Tong and Liu Rui quickly started to fight, and when the center of gravity stabilized again, Liu Rui suddenly squatted down to avoid Liu Rui's attack, taking the opportunity to push Liu Rui back, and only now did Zhou Tong manage to stabilize his body.
