In the chaotic battle, blood splattered.
The other Disciples from immortal sects watching from the sidelines grinned, looking at the constantly falling Asked the Dao Sect Disciples, not understanding why the arrival of a Junior Third Realm Completion could turn the entire tide of the battle.
The most fatal were those five dark swords, which would fall to the ground after being struck, disguised as the swords of fallen Disciples.
But then, at some unknown moment, they would suddenly shoot up, aiming directly for the head, making them impossible to guard against.
"Huh, why are all the ones stabbed to death from Asked the Dao Sect?"
"You're right, it's true!"
"There's something fishy here, Asked the Dao Sect might have been set up?!"
Ding Yao gritted her teeth upon hearing the surrounding discussions: "Gongshu Chou, stop holding back, quickly kill that Junior Third Realm Completion!"
Upon hearing this, that Integration Dao completely unleashed the Spirit Origin that had been suppressed, and his aura surged, with terrifying waves of Qi.
Ji You being able to hard control this Integration Dao in front of him, despite being two Realms lower, actually benefited from the speed of his Spiritual Qi circulation.
He dared to fully utilize his Spiritual Qi because his recovery speed was very fast, but the Integration Dao opposite him had been suppressing his Spirit Origin, only daring to strike with half his strength, fearing exhaustion.
But at this moment, seeing the battle take a sharp turn for the worse, continuing to suppress would be foolish.
Gongshu Chou raised his sword, stamped his foot, his aura surged, and he poured all his remaining Spiritual Qi into the sword body; the sword roared like a tiger, slashing horizontally.
This sword strike was like a startling thunderbolt in the night sky, with arrogant Sword Qi soaring into the heavens, its pressure sweeping across the entire field.
"Senior Brother, get out of the way!"
Ban Yangshu roared, his eyes filled with terror.
A Rongdao Realm who had completely unleashed his Spirit Origin, even if it was just one full-power strike, would undoubtedly be fatal to a Junior Third Realm Completion.
The difference in their Realms was too great; it couldn't be compensated for by clever sword moves and abundant Spiritual Qi!
As his voice fell, Ji You already felt immense pressure, seeing that Sword Intent approaching like thunder.
But unexpectedly, he actually raised his sword to meet it, using the blade to cut through the opponent's Sword Qi, directly colliding with it.
In Gongshu Chou's eyes, his sword would directly shatter the opponent's sword, then smoothly slash diagonally from his neck, splitting him in two.
"I've been waiting for you."
"Watch out, the little flying stick is coming."
Ji You whispered expressionlessly, while Gongshu Chou's pupils suddenly constricted.
Because the opponent's sword had left his hand.
It wasn't holding the sword, it was controlling the sword with Qi!
Gongshu Chou was greatly alarmed, realizing that although the sword coming towards him had been held in the opponent's hand all along, it had actually been switched to a Qi-controlled method at some unknown point.
After leaving his hand, the long sword still continued its sweep along the original cutting path.
And the Junior Third Realm Completion holding the sword, however, passed him with extreme agility, his left hand roaring with Spiritual Qi, wrapped around a black sharp spike, fiercely thrusting it towards his heart.
Bang!
Ji You exploded the Spiritual Qi in his palm, striking it out; that sharp black spike directly pierced through his heart, fiercely embedding itself into the stone wall opposite.
Gongshu Chou watched as blood gushed from his heart, and he directly fell to the ground.
At this moment, the scene was utterly silent.
And that white-robed Sword Master wiped his sweat expressionlessly, then stood proudly in the arena, his Sword Intent surging.
A Junior Third Realm Completion had killed a Rongdao Realm.
Even with his Spirit Origin suppressed, this was unbelievable!
Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin also stopped fighting at this point, looking back at Ji You in astonishment, at a loss for words.
It had been so dangerous just now, it seemed Ji You was about to die and his Dao be extinguished, but in the end, it was that Rongdao Realm who died.
"Senior Brother, are you... alright?"
Ban Yangshu's face was pale, fearing it was some risky move of exchanging lives.
Ji You waved his hand: "The sword in my hand wasn't held, it was controlled by Qi. When I made my move, I was already controlling it with Spiritual Qi, all to draw his sword. Then, I had a sharp spike hidden in my left hand, waiting for him."
Upon hearing this, everyone paused, then a chill ran up their spines.
He wasn't actually afraid of the opponent unleashing his Spirit Origin; instead, he had been waiting for him to do so, and then to output his full strength.
Because only then could he be sure that the opponent had no remaining Spiritual Qi to protect himself, so he secretly changed from holding to controlling the sword to draw out that full-power strike.
He then closed in, piercing the heart of the opponent who had no Spiritual Qi protection.
This move could be considered a sneak attack, and could only be used once, because once the opponent became alert, it would not be effective again.
So the preceding seven flowing swords and the dark swords that injured people were all paving the way for this one stab.
Qingyun World had been peaceful for too long; everyone was focused on cultivating the Dao, and even the Dao Discussion Conference relied on Realm to suppress others.
But Ji You was different.
The moment he decided on Dual Cultivation of martial arts and Dao, he was thinking that if he were to leave Tianshu Academy in the future, he would enter the Dao as a bandit.
Thus, all his swords were learned for killing.
If it was just a contest, a lower Realm practitioner indeed couldn't win against a higher Realm practitioner, but life and death were different.
There were many ways to make someone die.
At this moment, Ding Yao looked at the Rongdao Realm lying on the ground, her face pale.
【That person's sword is very strong】
She suddenly recalled what Zhuo Wanqiu had told her during the body search in the mountain forest.
As an Inner Courtyard Disciple of Lingjian Mountain, she had scoffed at that statement at the time.
Especially since that person remained motionless and allowed them to search him, which made her completely disregard him, even thinking it was a waste of time to casually kill him.
It wasn't until this moment that she realized where his true strength lay.
It wasn't just his sword, nor just his Divine Thought; even the intensity of his Spirit Origin circulation had already surpassed that of a Rongdao Realm.
But she didn't understand why, if that was the case, he didn't resist when they met that day.
She looked up and saw that the Junior Third Realm Completion had recalled all his swords, suspended in the arena, and was looking coldly at the cultivators whose Spiritual Qi was almost exhausted, one person surrounding everyone.
"Senior Brother, take the others and leave first."
"Alright."
Ban Yangshu sheathed his sword, immediately sent someone to help Pei Ruyi up, and led the Disciples towards the dense forest on the hillside.
Wen Zhengxin stayed behind to cover their retreat, planning to leave once everyone had gone far enough.
Just then, she heard Ji You's voice suddenly echo in the silent arena.
"If you all rush me now, there's a good chance you can beat me to death, after all, I'm not that strong."
"But, why bother?"
"You know, if Senior Sister Wen and I strike together, even if we die here, we can still kill a few, or a dozen, before we die."
"The one killed... could be you, or it could be you."
Ji You lightly pointed at a few cultivators and said: "You might think it won't necessarily be me, but why wouldn't it be you? You're all sent by the immortal sects as cannon fodder, why fight so hard? How much money did they give you?"
As his words fell, the Disciples of Lingjian Mountain and Asked the Dao Sect remained silent for a long time.
And so, one Junior Third Realm Completion, with seven faintly humming long swords, truly held the pass against all comers.
It should be noted that although the remaining two Rongdao Realms were injured, killing a Junior Third Realm Completion was not a problem, and Disciples of other Realms were not to be underestimated either.
But at this moment, no one dared to step forward and take the lead.
Wen Zhengxin had stayed in the Inner Courtyard for many years and was not well acquainted with Ji You. Looking at his bandit-like profile at this moment, her eyes couldn't help but become very complex.
Before entering the mountain, Ban Yangshu had reported to her that he planned to leave a Junior Third Realm Completion Disciple outside to provide support.
She hadn't thought much of it, always feeling that a Junior Third Realm Completion might not add much strength.
However, those seven swords flying across the sky, returning to their origin, completely subverted her understanding of the words Junior Third Realm Completion.
Subsequently, the two sheathed their swords and departed under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Just then, everyone suddenly heard a painful muffled groan, and turned to look at Gongshu Chou, who was lying on the ground, only to find his right hand trembling as it slowly lifted from the pool of blood.
