Chapter 382 - Seven Sword Art

The youth standing before Liu Wuxie was called Ju Lin, with cultivation in the pinnacle True Core Realm. But Liu Wuxie didn’t know where this person got the confidence to say such arrogant words.

Liu Wuxie had recently set an example by killing Deng Chong in a single move. Ju Lin\'s strength was, at best, comparable to Deng Chong\'s.

"Elder Tian Xing, can we sign a life-and-death waiver?" Liu Wuxie asked. In the last round, over fifty people had died, many from mutual destruction rather than intentional killing. Liu Wuxie posed this question with the intention of killing Ju Lin.

“It’s allowed as long as both parties agree to it!” Elder Tian Xing replied coldly. It was evident he didn’t like the current atmosphere in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Internal strife in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was too serious, and unity was the key to determining whether a sect was powerful.

“You and I, only one of us can walk away alive!” Liu Wuxie declared.

Ju Lin showed a hint of hesitation because he had made a bold statement earlier but planned to exhaust Liu Wuxie’s true essence.

“Are you afraid?” Liu Wuxie’s lips curled into a sneer. “If you’re afraid, kneel and kowtow three times, then get lost from here and never show yourself in front of me again.

His boundless murderous intent formed into an abyssal god behind him, releasing an overwhelming abyssal intent. With an abyssal realm in his dantian, Liu Wuxie was like an abyssal emperor at this moment.

This scene naturally shocked countless people, who couldn’t comprehend how Liu Wuxie’s body contained such abyssal energy.

“He’s a devil! Senior Brother Ju Lin, kill him!” The Profound Inscription Peak’s disciples weren’t afraid of causing trouble and urged Ju Lin to act without hesitation.

In the worst scenario, Liu Wuxie would perish together with Ju Lin.

Elder Tian Xing narrowed his eyes, and the nine elders sat together with shock in their eyes.

“This is weird. He’s not a devil, so how can he exude such powerful abyssal intent?” An elite elder was puzzled. After all, if Liu Wuxie were a devil, they would destroy Liu Wuxie themselves without needing anyone to take action.

But the fact wasn’t as they thought because Liu Wuxie was still human. The abyssal god behind him was just a manifestation of his will.

"Outstanding! He must have ventured into the Abyssal Underground World. His future achievements are limitless, judging by his ability to simulate abyssal laws!" a true elder exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He looked as if he wanted to capture Liu Wuxie and study him immediately.

Ju Lin was placed in a dilemma and suppressed by Liu Wuxie’s aura. If he didn’t take action, he would have to kneel and kowtow to Liu Wuxie.

“Liu Wuxie, I’ll fight you to the death!” Ju Lin fell into a frenzy and lost his sanity, possibly influenced by abyssal energy.

Liu Wuxie suddenly smiled because releasing abyssal energy was to influence Ju Lin into making an irrational decision. This was because Liu Wuxie would never show mercy to anyone who wanted to kill him.

Ju Lin created a powerful curtain of sword aura with his sword, tearing through the abyssal energy, and appeared before Liu Wuxie. But Liu Wuxie merely dodged the sword with a slight shift of his body.

Like a cat toying around with a mouse, Ju Lin’s attacks couldn’t even brush the corner of Liu Wuxie’s clothes, making him frustrated.

The surroundings fell into a deep silence, with everyone watching the changes on the battlefield quietly. Ju Lin had lost his rationale and charged around the arena like a blind bat. This scene naturally made the Profound Inscription Peak’s disciples grit their teeth in hatred.

“Trash like you dares to challenge me?” Liu Wuxie suddenly vanished and appeared behind Ju Lin, kicking out.

Ju Lin flew high into the sky before falling off the arena and hitting the ground. His face was twisted with his internal organs all ruptured, and he was killed with a single kick.

In front of everyone, Liu Wuxie had killed another cultivator in the pinnacle True Core Realm once more. This meant Liu Wuxie had killed two people in the competition.

Everyone in the surroundings took a deep breath and couldn’t believe Liu Wuxie was so ruthless.

After killing Ju Lin, Liu Wuxie walked off the arena and successfully advanced to the top 1,200. As battles were ongoing in the other arenas, Liu Wuxie returned to his spot in the Heavenly Trigram Peak’s region.

Most disciples were still fighting in the arenas, and only a dozen people were waiting their turn.

A gaze suddenly swept through Liu Wuxie, which he sensed even if it was a hundred meters away. The Heavenly Trigram Peak’s peak master walked towards Liu Wuxie, covering a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

“Greetings, peak master!” Liu Wuxie bowed, but there wasn’t much respect in his words. After all, the peak master must’ve known when Shao Wendong had threatened him, but he hadn’t stepped in to stop him.

This was probably because the peak master anticipated Shao Wendong to win the championship. At the same time, Liu Wuxie was just a slightly larger grasshopper who would eventually die in the competition.

However, the peak master’s attitude changed after Liu Wuxie killed Deng Chong and Ju Lin.

“No need for the formalities!” The peak master waved his hand, indicating Liu Wuxie was not to be restrained.

From the sect’s records, he already knew the names of the six peak masters. The real name of the Heavenly Trigram Peak’s peak master was Song Yuanqiu, a cultivator who had reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Transformation Realm.

“What business does the peak master have with me?” Liu Wuxie asked tentatively.

“Nothing much. I’m just here for a casual chat,” Song Yuanqiu said without pretense. He wasn’t a stranger to Liu Wuxie because he was present when Liu Wuxie had trapped over a hundred disciples with his spiritual array.

“What does the peak master wish to discuss then?” Liu Wuxie collected himself and looked Song Yuanqiu in the eyes without fear.

Most people were drawn to the battles in the arenas and paid no attention to Liu Wuxie’s side.

“How confident are you in winning the championship?”

Liu Wuxie was stunned because he hadn’t expected Song Yuanqiu to ask this question. He replied, “Seventy percent!”

He would naturally give his all to obtain the championship, and his strength would be revealed sooner or later. Thus, there was no need for him to hide it. But according to his estimation, he had a seventy percent chance of winning if there were no accidents. Then again, it was best for him not to be overconfident.

“Seventy percent is quite a lot. Go and compete for it confidently. I’ll back you up if anything happens!” Song Yuanqiu signaled that he would take responsibility for whatever happened in the upcoming battles and that Liu Wuxie could act freely.

Most of Heavenly Trigram Peak’s resources were concentrated on Shao Wendong, and Song Yuanqiu’s intentions puzzled Liu Wuxie.

“What do you mean?” Liu Wuxie voiced his doubt.

"You\'ll understand in due time. Just do what you want; there\'s no need to worry about Shao Wendong. If a conflict arises between you two, I guarantee I\'ll stay neutral and won\'t favor either side." Song Yuanqiu\'s words provided the greatest assurance to Liu Wuxie.

“Thank you, peak master!” Liu Wuxie seemed to understand a little and was grateful for his words.

Peak masters seldom paid attention to outer disciples, preferring to focus on elite and true disciples. His saying such words to Liu Wuxie demonstrated his high regard for him.

More disciples gradually returned to the Heavenly Trigram Peak’s area, and Song Yuanqiu ended his conversation with Liu Wuxie, returning to his place.

Liu Wuxie sat with his legs crossed, pondering about Song Yuanqiu’s words.

Logically speaking, it made no sense for him to receive the peak master’s attention as a new disciple. On the contrary, Shao Wendong was an old disciple with powerful strength. He had participated in two rounds of the outer sect’s competition and was famous.

Thus, there was no way Liu Wuxie could compare to Shao Wendong in terms of strength or reputation. But Song Yuanqiu’s words showed he didn’t favor Shao Wendong.

Liu Wuxie shook his head and tossed it aside before cultivating the Primordial Astral Fist. Different perspectives lead to other views. From a peak master’s position, he was naturally more concerned about the bigger picture rather than personal gains.

The round concluded with 1,100 people advancing to the next stage, but casualties had increased. In this round, twenty people died, fifty were severely injured, and twenty escaped with minor injuries. Some competitors, despite winning, lost limbs and couldn\'t continue to the next round, forcing them to withdraw from the competition with resentment.

As the battles progressed, the fight became increasingly brutal. More than one-third of the participants were injured, but they didn’t even have time to bandage their wounds because they had to rest to restore their true essence.

After a brief rest, the lottery continued for the remaining 1,100 people to compete. Out of twenty thousand participants, only slightly over a thousand people were left, and they were all elites among outer disciples.

The lottery process was even faster this time and was done in less than fifteen minutes.

Glancing at the bamboo slip in his hand, a faint smile rose on Liu Wuxie’s lips. This was because he got number 77 again and seemed to have a special fate with this number.

With a flash, Liu Wuxie landed on Arena 77, and a white figure followed shortly after him. Upon seeing this person, a smile rose on Liu Wuxie’s lips.

"Greetings, Junior Brother Liu!" Yun Lan smiled wryly, not expecting to face Liu Wuxie in this round.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Yun!" Liu Wuxie responded politely. Yun Lan, along with Fan Xi, had supported him when he faced Su Ji and Deacon Kou, helping him secure his first fortune in the cultivation world.

“I didn’t expect Junior Brother Liu to have grown so much in just over two months, and I must admit I’m envious of you. I initially wanted to give up, but I’m unwilling to lose like that. I mastered a sword technique three days ago and haven’t had a chance to use it. Today, I wish to take this opportunity to seek guidance from Junior Brother Liu.” Yun Lan was courteous with his tone and admitted he couldn’t beat Liu Wuxie.

He wanted to use this opportunity to temper his sword technique further and seek the imperfection in his technique.

“You’re flattering me if you put it that way. Let’s have a friendly spar!” Liu Wuxie gave an inviting gesture. He was also curious about the sword technique Yun Lan had mastered.

“Junior brother, you have to be careful. The powerful aspect of my sword technique is the ability to manifest seven sword auras simultaneously.” Yun Lan revealed his sword technique openly to Liu Wuxie, which earned the latter’s respect.

“Manifest seven sword auras simultaneously? Could it be that Senior Brother Yun Lan has mastered the Seven Sword Art?” Liu Wuxie recalled reading about this formidable technique in a book. This was a powerful technique recorded in the Scripture Collection Hall.
