On the sed and third days, the first round of the Blue Wind Ranking Tour tinued.
Nothing signifit happened, aside from the Burning Heaven quietly withdrawing from the petition. They left Heavenly Sword Vil i on the night of the first day.
This caused quite a otion; many people couldn't uand why one of the great sects suddenly left the petition.
This undoubtedly affected the atmosphere of the petition. Many things happened during this year's petition, which caused mas to feel uneasy.
"I am sorry, I should've told you before; now they've already run away," g Yue said apologetically, standio Yun Wuji in the arena.
When the Burning Heaven ran away, Yun Wuji and g Yue were still cheg if a cat girl's tail should be attached to her lower back or somewhere lower.
"It doesn't matter; a monk may run away, but not with his temple. After the petition, I will pay a visit to their to collee prote fees," Yun Wuji said, shaking his head to reassure her. At the same time, he thought, I've been ied by this world's culture as well...
He didn't take the Burning Heaven seriously, and he would naturally not five them. In fact, if they had e to him and begged for fiveness instead of running away, he would have taught that young master a lesson aorted a few resources before letting them go.
But sihey chose to flee, the price they o pay this time would be multiple times higher.
Like the first round of group stages, the sed round was also held ihirty little sword arenas.
Although the number of participating disciples was deo three hundred, each person had to fight a full fifteen matches.
This round was still beled "group matches," but petitors were no longer divided into groups. Oppos could be drawn from the e of disciples in the sed round. This was to make sure everything was fair.
"Sword Discourse Arena Number Fu 's Gu gge vs. Ye 's Ye Wu!"
"Sword Discourse Arena Number Seven: Iron Spear Sect's Lei Wei vs. Woealing Peaches Sect's Lin Fan!"
"Sword Discourse Arena Number Eleven: Frozen Cloud Immortal Pace's Wu Xuexin vs. Golden Armame's Rong Xin!"
The battles at the Thirty Sword Discourse Arenas proceeded simultaneously, and Wu Xuexin was the first to fight.
"I'll be leaving first!" Wu Xuexin said to the other two girls as she jumped into the arena.
Her oppo was already standing there, waiting for her. He was a muscur man wielding a giant axe, with a long mustache. Though he was only 20 years old, he looked as if he were in his middle age.
"Greetings, Fairy! I have always admired the fairies from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Pace. Please go easy on me," Rong Xin said, cupping his fist. With his strength at the sixth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, he knew he couldn't win, but he would shame his sect if he admitted it directly.
"Hm," Wu Xuexin nodded lightly in respoo his greeting. In this tour, the only people worthy of her attentiohe two disciples from the Heavenly Sword Vilge and her fellow sisters.
"Then, if you'll excuse me," Rong Xin said as he gripped his axe, stomped on the ground, and jumped high into the air before sshing down at her with his axe.
His axe weighed about six hundred kilos, and when he swung it, it produced a sharp sound, slig through the air. The hands gripping the axe were tight, with his arm muscles trag and veins popping out.
Wu Xuexin g the man in the air aly waved her hand. Instantly, an icy wall appeared above her.
Boom!
The axe struck the ice, produg a loud explosion as tiny ice fragments flew around from the impact.
Rong Xin was sent staggering back to the ground, his hand trembling from the impact. He had used almost all his power in that attack, and the force had made his hand numb. Raising his eyes, he saw that the icy wall was nearly unharmed, with only a tiny trace where the axe had nded earlier.
"Shit!" he cursed under his breath. With a loud shout, he jumped again and attacked the icy wall with all his power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He attacked many times, while Wu Xuexin, oher hand, didn't move. She observed him from the side as if she weren't fighting him but rather a spectator watg someotle a wall.
Although Rong Xin could ge his angle and attack her, that would only prompt her to create another ice wall. Worse yet, she might retaliate and turn him into a popsicle, which would be even more humiliating than giving up ht.
"Huff, huff, I give up!" Rong Xin finally stopped attag and surrendered after a while. Looking at the icy wall standing tall before him, he felt a sense of powerlessness aion.
"Thank you foing easy on me, Fairy," he said, bowing toward Wu Xuexin before leaving. In addition to his deje, he couldn't help but admire her.
Wu Xuexi easy on him and didn't finish him off because he was quite polite and she wao elevate her sect's reputation. Otherwise, she would have taken him out with a single blow.
"Rong Xin admit defeat, Wu Xuexin wins!"
At the same time, the other two girls, Shui Wushuang, and Wu Xuexin also started their fight and finished.
"...Mu Lingxue wins!"
"...Shui Wushuang wins!"
"...Wu Xuexin wins!"
In the following fight, nothing ued happehey all won all their following fights.
...
Sixth day of the Blue Wind Ranking Tour, which was also the st day of the sed round of group stages.
Yun Wuji silently teleported to the Sword Ma Terrace. Before arriving, he had already spread his seo firm that no one was there.
Heavenly Sword Vil's Sword Ma Terrace was several times rger than the ranking tour's Sword Discourse Arena. As far as the eye could see, nearly ten thousand swords flew in the sky above, stirring a vortex of sword energy.
Various kinds of swords also covered the entire surface of the Sword Ma Terrace
The terrace was covered with various swords, and in the ter stood a pitch-bck sword, half-buried in the ground and half-reag for the sky.
More than a hundred years ago, the Mighty Heavenly Swion ambushed and sealed Yun Che's grandfather, Yun ghai, a him to Heavenly Sword Vil, where he was sealed beh the Sword Ma Terrace.
And around fifteen years ago, Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou came to the Blue Wind Empire to save Yun ghai but they both ended up being poisoned.
For the plot's sake, the couple thought it was a good idea to perform this dangerous mission while Mu Yurou regnant.
*Corre: {While on the Profound Sky ti, Mu Yurou became pregnant with Yun Che and oisoned by a cold poison during her pregnancy} — So in short they smashed without prote in the middle of the mission.*
She ended up giving birth to Yun Che, who was also affected by the poison, and his parents had no choice but to cripple his profound veins to remove it.
Again, for the plot's sake, they had to cripple his profound veins instead of his other parts.
Yun Wuji walked around the enormous formation, it for a while.
A few mier, he grasped all the fws in the formation. It was unnecessarily big and ed a huge amount of energy, which was why it o be replenished every twenty years. Additionally, its massive size created many holes and fws.
Of course, these fws are not visible to everyone, Yun Wuji could notice them because of his almost frightening genius.
He walked to the giant sword and put his hand on it. The moment Yun Wuji disappeared, he easily ehe formation.
Yun Wuji could easily dismahe formation and or even use brute ford destroy it. But that would be too dumb, it would immediately attract the attention of the Mighty Heavenly Swion and maybe eveher three sacred grounds as well.
Although Yun Wuji was strong and if he used his trump cards he could crush anyone, why should he invite unnecessary trouble? Only fools would do that! Although Yun Wuji was arrogant and narcissistic at times, he was also cautious; otherwise, he would have died long ago in the Azure Cloud ti.
He spent years running and hiding from all the major forces on the ti without being exposed, and it was naturally due to his cautious nature. This was evident in his fighting style, where he always used siricks to win.
It was only after he came to the Sky Profound tihat he began to beore overbearing in his as, but that was also because he had grown stronger and khat nothing could threaten him for the time being.
The spaside the formation was a gloomy pce filled with a stale, rotten smell.
Not far away was a ed old man, his long hair u and c his head, which was lowered to ceal his face.
Sensing Yun Wuji's presehe old man raised his head and looked up.
"Greetings..." Yun Wuji smiled and was about to greet the old man politely, after all, he was someone important for his pns.
However, before he could finish his words, the old man's eyes opened wide, and he suddenly howled. "GRR... AAHH!!!! Mighty Heavenly Swion, you old dogs! Here to visit this granddaddy again... HAHAHAHAHAHA! You shameless, treacherous dogs! If you have the guts, kill me already! I want to bee a malicious spirit, tear your flesh, drink your blood, crush your bones, and drag you down to the eighteenth level of hell to suffer eternal torment uen thousand bdes and the pain of hellfire!"
"Hmm, Senior, you misuood. I am not from the Mighty Heavenly Swion; I came here specifically to save you," Yun Wuji said. He didn't mind being cut off; he could uand the man's feelings. Having gohrough so much, it was normal for him to react like this. As long as he expined patiently, they could have a civil talk.
"Despicable, shameless dogs, do you take me for a fool?!" the old man shouted, refusing to hear his words. He firmly believed Yun Wuji was from the Mighty Heavenly Swion. "Are y to py some dirty trie? Kill me if you dare! You gutless basta—"
Smack!
Yun Wuji watched the old man howl, saliva spraying from his mouth. After a moment, he raised his hand and spped him.
"..." Yun ghai's head twisted to the side from the force of the sp, aopped talking. Slowly, he turned around to look at Yun Wuji in shock. Did he just get spped?!
" we talk now?" Yun Wuji asked, looking at Yun ghai as he retracted his hand. He was quite satisfied with the results of his sp. Civil talk? Scratch that, wake-up calls were better.
"..." Yun ghai.

By the way, the story about the guy who got drilled is true; it was a case that went through the court.
