Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 36 Sect Grand Competition (1)

Jian Muyi's swordsmanship is very distinctive, forceful and relentless, but its weaknesses are also obvious.

Zhou Mian's swordsmanship was superior in its agility, and although he was on the defensive, Jian Muyi could not gain any advantage.

If this stalemate continues, it will come down to who can't keep up the pace first.

In less than half an incense stick's time, Zhou Mian's stamina was clearly starting to wane, and Jian Muyi took the opportunity to knock her sword away.

Zhou Mian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and raised her hand: "I admit defeat."

Jian Muyi sheathed his sword, picked it up, and returned it to her: "Thank you for your kindness!"

Zhou Mian returned to the team and gave Xu Yu a wry smile. Xu Yu patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, you played very well."

The third draw will pit two members of the Wen family against each other.

Su Wusi watched the two weaklings fighting while holding her sword. Jian Muyi couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he turned to the side and spoke to Su Wusi.

"Junior sister, how do you think they managed to squeeze into the top ten?"

Su Wusi shook his head: "Perhaps I'm just lucky?"

Xu Yu clicked her tongue and commented sharply, "It's an eyesore."

When Jian Muyi saw him speak, he moved closer to Xu Yu and said, "Hey, I thought I could have a match with you, but I didn't expect you to be eliminated by my junior sister. What a pity. How about we arrange another match after the competition? I haven't even had a chance to use the new sword technique I just learned."

Xu Yu's lips twitched, suppressing the urge to hit someone: "Why don't you fight your junior sister? She's so strong, you might not even be able to beat her."

Jian Muyi carefully considered the feasibility of Xu Yu's words and replied, "My junior sister and I can spar anytime, but you and I might not meet for half a year. Shall we make a date? How about after the competition?"

"Why don't you fight with my senior brother? You're always picking on me!"

"People should know their own limitations. My senior brother and your senior brother are evenly matched opponents. If I were to face your senior brother, I would definitely get a sound beating."

Xu Yu's lips twitched: "You're quite self-aware."

Jian Muyi chuckled: "That's right."

Ye Xiao listened to their conversation and gently poked Shi Ming with the scabbard: "Is he always this annoying?"

Shi Ming pressed down on his throbbing brow: "Occasionally, but only occasionally. You'll get used to it."

Ye Xiao asked in surprise, "Aren't you and Junior Sister Luo afraid that he'll get beaten to death in a sack when he goes out?"

"It's okay. There are people who deserve a beating more than him, so he won't be the only one who gets beaten up."

"Oh."

After several rounds of competition, only Su Wusi, Shi Ming, Ye Xiao, and a member of the Wen family remained on the field.

Another round of drawing lots, Su Wusi versus Ye Xiao.

"Go, junior sister!"

Even after being eliminated by Ye Xiao, Jian Muyi was still grinning: "If we can't beat them, we just surrender!"

The two stood on the field and bowed with their hands clasped in greeting.

"I would appreciate your guidance, Senior Brother Ye."

"excuse me!"

Ye Xiao was the first to draw his sword, and a sharp sword aura accompanied by a gust of cold wind swept over.

Su Wusi knew Ye Xiao's swordsmanship very well. Although his swordsmanship was slightly immature compared to his previous life, it was still quite difficult to fight him. Perhaps in a few years, Ye Xiao would be able to reach the level of his previous life.

Like master, every sword aura unleashed by Huaiyun Sword is sharp and resolute, just like its master.

Dust billowed across the field as Su Wusi dodged and weaved under Ye Xiao's onslaught, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

Ultimately, there was a difference in cultivation level. The Huaiyun Sword was held horizontally in front of Su Wusi's neck; with just a little more force, she would be injured.

"excuse me."

The man's voice was like a clear spring. Su Wusi smiled, sheathed his sword, and bowed respectfully: "I have lost."

Ye Xiao also sheathed the Huaiyun Sword and returned the greeting, saying, "Thank you for your courtesy."

Next up is the match between Shi Ming and that member of the Wen family.

Luo Zai Shui, watching from the sidelines, kept a close eye on Wen Lian not far away, trying to figure out what the man would do next.

Less than fifteen minutes later, the audience erupted in uproar.

Luo Zai Shui quickly looked away: "What's going on!"

Seeing that Shi Ming was not injured, Luo Zai Shui breathed a sigh of relief.

Nie Xushuang explained calmly, "Shi Ming only lasted three moves before he conceded defeat."

Luo Zai Shui was stunned, then smiled knowingly: "He'll get scolded when he goes back."

Chu Yeli shook his folding fan: "Then I suggest he go back and immediately go into seclusion."

There was much discussion among the audience, but it did not affect the members of the five major sects at all.

"So you just handed the championship to Ye Xiao like that?"

Chu Yeli smiled happily: "Then I'll keep these spirit stones for myself."

Before a quarter of an hour had passed, his smile vanished, because Ye Xiao hadn't even fought back; he had simply conceded defeat.

"Tsk." Chu Yeli patted his palm with his folding fan. "What's wrong with him? Why does he have to fight Shi Ming instead of being the champion?"

"Let's fight." Nie Xushuang didn't seem to care much about these things. "Wouldn't it be better to let the world see a real sword duel?"

Luo Zai Shui's eyes held a hint of anticipation.

The champion has been decided; Ye Xiao and Shi Ming will face off to determine the second and third place winners.

The two stood on the field, and a gust of wind blew up the sand and stones on the ground, which slapped against their clothes.

"Zheng—"

No one could see who struck first; the only way to spot the two figures was by looking at the afterimages of two sword lights, one red and one blue, in the air.

Luo Zai Shui stood up excitedly, and Chu Ye Li also put away his folding fan, exclaiming, "Only Ye Xiao can keep up with Shi Ming's speed."

With a loud "bang," the red and blue sword shadows clashed, and only then could everyone see the positions of the two people.

After only a quarter of an hour of fighting, both men were already bruised and battered, indicating that neither had given the other any leeway.

Luo Zai Shui, the only one who could clearly see the two figures from the sidelines, couldn't help but hold his breath, while Jian Mu Yi, who had been chattering away in the audience, was also stunned.

Neither side held back; it was a duel fought with all their might, all to show the world what the way of the sword truly is.

Almost simultaneously, the two placed their swords against each other's necks, thus ending a thrilling duel.

"Who's winning?"

Some people in the audience couldn't help but raise questions.

Luo Zai Shui breathed a sigh of relief, sat back down, and smiled, "Senior Brother won."

Ye Xiao was the first to sheathe his sword: "You won."

Shi Ming subtly curled his lips into a smile: "You flatter me!"

The Kendo Grand Tournament has now come to a successful conclusion.

"Senior Brother!"

When Shi Ming returned to the sidelines, Xue Xin was the first to surround him and apply medicine and bandages.

"Ye Xiao is too ruthless. Senior Brother, are you alright?"

"Cough cough cough."

Xu Yu kowtowed a few times to remind Xue Xin and the others that they were still there.

Ji Tinghan and Luo Zaishui also gathered around.

She smiled and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother."

Seeing that she was alright, Shi Ming smiled and said, "Yes, we're done."

Seeing that his plan had failed, Wen Lian, who was standing not far away, slapped the maid next to him and walked away.

Seeing this, Nie Xushuang couldn't bear it and secretly slipped her a bottle of topical ointment.

Chu Yeli followed behind, pretending not to have seen anything.

Tomorrow is the competition between talisman cultivators and array cultivators. What kind of crisis will they face?
