The Prodigies War

In fact, this sword attack was Gu Jianxing's killer move as it integrated the secret of his own Great Dao Field into one sword attack!

Lin Xun had once killed quasi-Emperor Kong Yin, whose Great Thousand Sword Shadows had been terrifying as he had honed that technique for eight thousand years.

Compared with that, while Gu Jianxing's sword strike was inferior in power, it was not worse than the Great Thousand Sword Shadows in terms of momentum.

Lin Xun had to admit that Gu Jianxing was indeed an excellent cultivator.

It was a pity as his opponent was still not good enough.

Then Lin Xun clawed out with his hand.

The fiery red sword qi that descended into the world like a divine rainbow was directly grasped by Lin Xun. When he retracted his five fingers, this unparalleled sharp sword qi was immediately crushed and turned into specks of fiery red light pouring from his fingers.

The whole audience was shocked and felt incredulous.

This was Gu Jianxing's ultimate move, but it was crushed like tissue paper?

"Embers disseminating death in the void!"

In the arena, Gu Jianxing's eyes were like sharp swords, and he attacked again without hesitation. His power was like a whirlwind sweeping fallen leaves, and his sword was like a raging flame thrower.

His power became stronger and stronger, making him resemble a sword master of fire.

Lin Xun's strength had made him sense a threat, so how could he dare to hesitate?

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In a moment, the stage looked like it was covered with a layer of flames, and the sky was full of crisscrossing and raging fiery sword energy.

Howling like a whirlwind, as domineering as thunder, as majestic as a torrent, as swift as light and shadow...

Gu Jianxing flashed, and his body and hair were surging with flame patterns. His power was so great that it dominated the whole arena.

Countless sounds of people sucking in cold air and swallowing their saliva rang out one after another in the stadium.

Many spectators were dazzled and their minds were shaken.

Earlier, when Gu Jianxing had won ten consecutive victories, he did not use any of these powerful arts.

From this, it could be seen that Jin Duyi had forced Gu Jianxing to use his real trump cards!

"Fire Embers Sword Curtain!" Gu Jianxing shouted.

Suddenly, in the arena, the criss-crossing flaming sword qi suddenly condensed and turned into a magnificent, vast, and fiery red Great Dao Field.

This time, Lin Xun did not actively choose to enter it.

This was because Lin Xun already understood the power of the Great Dao Field controlled by Gu Jianxing through his previous repeated attacks.

It made no difference whether or not he entered Fire Embers Sword Curtain.

However, for Gu Jianxing, activating his Great Dao Field could allow him to release all his power to its limit.

"What a Great Sword Field!"

"Such a technique is rare."

Many people exclaimed.

Some old monsters couldn't sit still.

When Lin Xun was about to be covered by the fiery and gorgeous sword curtain, he suddenly swung his fist and sent it forward.

The fist was as heavy as a mountain, with a yellow earth light, but it was surging with a charm of the dao that resembled a furnace but was not a furnace and was like an abyss but was also not an abyss.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed, and the descending Fire Embers Sword Curtain instantly stopped in mid-air.

As the astonished crowd gawped, dense spider-web-like cracks appeared within Fire Embers Sword Curtain.

Kaboom!

The sword field that had integrated all of its cultivator’s arts did not have time to release its power before it exploded on the arena.

The sky was full of fiery red light mixed with earth-shaking explosions that filled the ring.

BANG!

Gu Jianxing swayed before he staggered and fell to the ground. He was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his face was terribly pale.

This punch destroyed not only his Great Dao Field, but also caused him serious internal injuries. His internal organs seemed to be displaced, and his qi and blood were disordered.

In the audience, there was a complete silence as everyone was shocked.

One punch had destroyed the stunning Great Dao Field!

Furthermore, Gu Jianxing, who was so powerful and dazzling, was seriously injured!

For a moment, everyone felt dazed.

Before, they had great confidence in Gu Jianxing, thinking that Jin Duyi was destined to stop at nine consecutive victories.

But now, the cruel reality was like a slap in the face, hitting them hard!

No matter how dazzling Gu Jianxing was, no matter how famous he was…did any of that matter?

No! He still couldn’t beat Jin Duyi!

Some women who had previously screamed and cheered for Gu Jianxing crazily now looked as if they had eaten a dead fly or had lost their parents. They were unable to accept such a reality.

"So strong!"

Chu Qiu was moved, and his heart was shaken.

He knew best how strong Gu Jianxing was. While participating in this first round of selections, Gu Jianxing was one of the opponents he had his eye on.

However, Gu Jianxing was now seriously injured by Jin Duyi, who had appeared out of nowhere, which was also beyond Chu Qiu's expectations.

"This boy...is really a hidden talent..."

Tao Songting revealed a complicated expression. He had to admit that he had misjudged Jin Duyi earlier and had greatly underestimated his strength.

"To be honest, even I didn't expect it." Madam Yu smiled wryly. Although she had always been optimistic about Lin Xun, she was also surprised and astounded when she saw this scene.

Only Hong Yu was calm and happy, as if he had personally slapped Tao Songting with Lin Xun's hand.

On the stage, Gu Jianxing's expression was also extremely complicated, flickering with shock, confusion, and bewilderment.

He had not been careless, nor did he underestimate the enemy.

He just didn't expect that the opponent he chose this time would be so unknown yet so powerful!

Even if he tried his best, he couldn't shake it!

He said bitterly, "It turns out that in front of you, my swordsmanship is really as pale and powerless as my previous provocation..."

He stood up and turned away.

There was no need to fight again as he was destined to lose if he tried again.

His figure was bleak as he walked off the stage. All the spectators who saw this scene couldn't help but sigh.

Gu Jianxing, a dazzling sword genius, had already won ten consecutive victories and qualified for the second round of selections. He had won countless compliments and his reputation had soared.

However, since he was now defeated by Jin Duyi, all that praise and fame had gone up in smoke.

At this moment, he was a stepping stone for Jin Duyi's success!

No matter how dazzling or powerful he was, Jin Duyi would be a mountain that could not be avoided whenever he was mentioned!

After this battle, Gu Jianxing no longer had the opportunity to continue with more challenges, so he was doomed to not be able to fight against Chu Qiu.

Despite this, he could enter the second round of selections, which was a blessing in disguise.

As Gu Jianxing left, the silent atmosphere in the field was broken, and there was a great uproar. All eyes were focused on Lin Xun.

Jin Duyi!

He was a mysterious, unknown cultivator, but in today's Dao Debate Contest he was a dark horse that had come out of nowhere.

Dong Liushi, Wang Zhenyang, Gao Lingtian... All the experts who were favored by the spectators had been defeated by him one by one.

In this battle where he had achieved ten consecutive victories, he defeated Gu Jianxing in one fell swoop!

No one would have expected this to happen.

Therefore, everyone looked at Lin Xun on the stage with wide, glazed eyes.

This also made people more and more certain that Jin Duyi was definitely not a cultivator from Cloud State but instead most likely a peerless figure from another world in the Ancient Nebula Road.

Otherwise, with the combat power he showed, he would have been famous all over the world long ago, and it would be impossible for people to not have heard of him now.

Someone calculated the time. From the time when he started off as a nobody until now, it only took a stick’s worth of incense. Jin Duyi had already shocked everyone present!

The speed of his rise and the momentum were so strong that it was enough to make people dumbfounded.

On the examination seat, Hong Yu smiled slightly, "This Jin Duyi...is really an eye-opener."

Tao Songting's lips twitched as he raised his hand to take off his Auspicious Wood Hairpin. He threw it to Hong Yu and said, "You win."

Hong Yu hurriedly responded, "I was also in the dark, but I didn't expect my luck to be so good today. Brother Tao, please don't mind this."

Tao Songting said unhappily, "It’s fine. A loss is a loss, so don't think I’m a sore loser."

Madam Yu suppressed the grin rising on her lips.

Other quasi-Emperors also secretly sighed that this Jin Duyi...was indeed a dark horse that surprised them all!

The more famous Gu Jianxing was, the more extraordinary Jin Duyi who defeated him was. This was the tragedy of becoming someone else’s stepping stone.

"Hey, Jin Duyi did not leave the ring after obtaining ten consecutive victories. Is he going to continue to accept challenges?"

Some people were surprised to find that Lin Xun was still standing in the arena.

For a time, many other people also looked over.

"Even Gu Jianxing is not his opponent, so who dares to challenge him now?"

Many experts who were waiting in the sidelines felt bitter.

Chu Qiu, Zhuo Fengying and some other talented experts occupied other arenas, which made them feel pressured.

Now that Gu Jianxing had just left, another Jin Duyi who was stronger than Gu Jianxing had appeared, which made them feel stuffy inside.

"That's not necessarily true. As Senior Tao Songting mentioned, one’s stamina is limited, so how could Jin Duyi not be physically tired after fighting ten battles in a row?"

Some people were dissatisfied, "If we can seize this opportunity, then we may be able to defeat him!"

Sure enough, not long after, a cultivator came forward to challenge.

Unfortunately, in just a moment, he was defeated by Lin Xun in the arena.

"Everyone!" Someone gritted his teeth and yelled, "If you fail, then you just have to fight again. If you don't even have the courage to fight, then why are you participating in the Dao Debate Contest? What's the point of seeking the dao?"

These words were like a raging fire, stirring the hearts of the waiting participants.

"Yes, if you lose, stand up and continue to fight. If you don't fight because of fear, then when will you ever be able to succeed?"

"Go!"

For a moment, many participants rushed out, excited and determined.

They weren’t actually bewitched by that encouragement. Instead, the rules of the selection were very clear. Even if they were defeated, they still had the opportunity to challenge others.

This was equivalent to giving them many opportunities to fight for!

For a moment, whether it was the ring where Lin Xun was, or where Chu Qiu, Zhuo Fengying and others were, they were also targeted by many participants.

The audience became very excited and full of expectation when they saw this.

"This is what a truly powerful person would do."

Seeing this, Tao Songting, Madam Yu and others all nodded inwardly.
