Fang Qi was at a loss for words.
He was reluctant to take this task, which was given to him without warning since the average activation number per episode for Wind and Cloud was less than 100!
However, he had to take this task for the sake of the task reward.
The Seven Peak Compet.i.tion was the first climax of Jade Dynasty, and all the previous episodes had been building up people’s antic.i.p.ation and frustration. When the fans of Jade Dynasty watched Zhang Xiaofan win a match with poor talent, they were elated!
They had begun watching Jade Dynasty for the sake of the spiritual treasures, spiritual spells, and powerful sword techniques, but gradually they sank into the story.
“This main character is interesting…”
“Right! He’s far from Li Xiaoyao’s level, but he’s more like a main character now!”
“This episode is super cool!”
The two episodes released on Monday only covered a small part of the Seven Peak Compet.i.tion, and the episodes released on Tuesday covered most of this big event. Su Tianji who had been preparing for the Counter Strike compet.i.tion paused their training for the TV series.
By this time, the fans of Jade Dynasty had grown greatly.
In the morning, about 80% of the customers in the shop watched Jade Dynasty!
Comparatively, Wind and Cloud had much fewer watchers. As Nalan Hongwu said, the highest-level warriors in this TV series by now were only at the Grand Ancestral Warrior Realm, which couldn’t attract customers.
Except for the disciples of the academies and the story fans such as Dong Qingli, most people were busy preparing for the Compet.i.tion, and they didn’t want to watch it!
This TV series was coming to the part where the battle between the Sword Saint and Xiong Ba was about to occur, but it only attracted the hardcore fans of the TV series such as Song Qingfeng and Liang s.h.i.+, the warriors of low levels.
Even the Royal Princess Ji Yu and the others who liked this TV series decided to postpone watching it.
As for the cultivators such as Su Tianji, Xue Daolv, and Lan Mo, they just didn’t watch a TV series purely about warriors. After all, warriors were weaker than cultivators until they reached the Emperor Warrior Realm.
However, it was only a small improvement since the seventh realm of warriors, Emperor Warriors, could only overpower the sixth realm of cultivators, Divine Ocean Realm. It was heard that some masters in the Three Saint Gates had reached the Divine Palace Realm, the seventh realm of cultivators.
They weren’t people whom Emperor Warriors could handle!
“Young Master Song! Are you going to watch Wind and Cloud today?” After watching Jade Dynasty, Lin Shao and Xu Luo were prepared to practice for the Counter Strike team compet.i.tion when they saw Song Qingfeng clicking open Wind and Cloud.
“Are you going to practice your a.s.sa.s.sin character?”
“I’ll just watch for a little while; I’ll be fine!” Song Qingfeng waved his hand. “I’m the No. 1 a.s.sa.s.sin in this shop and have nothing to worry about!”
“Okay! Okay! We’ll go and play Counter Strike. Just make sure that you don’t mess it up!” Seeing that he was determined to watch it, Lin Shao and the others went on with their own businesses.
Song Qingfeng thought, There were two episodes yesterday and two today. Even if the plot is slow, the Sword Saint should appear.
With this thought, he began to watch Wind and Cloud.
Meanwhile, Liang s.h.i.+ and his buddies were also watching it.
Soon they came to the part where Duan Lang took the Fire Scale Sword and Wu Ming tried to stop the Sword Saint from going to the battle.
“The Sword Saint looks old…”
“The Sword Saint is so old while Xiong Ba is in his prime. I have a bad feeling about this…”
The customers watching Wind and Cloud began talking among themselves, knowing that different from cultivators, the warrior’s old age would negatively affect their abilities.
“Will the Sword Saint be defeated by Union Master Xiong?”
For people like Liang s.h.i.+, the Grand Ancestral Warriors Realm was quite high, and they were fascinated by the combat techniques in Wind and Cloud.
Soon, they watched Wu Ming block the Sword Saint’s killing strikes with ease.
Even Wu Ming was certain that the Sword Saint couldn’t defeat Xiong Ba.
By now, Song Qingfeng was regretting watching it. What’s the use of watching the old Sword Saint getting himself killed? Maybe I should have practiced my a.s.sa.s.sin character first…
In fact, the others shared his thought, but they continued watching due to their admiration for the Sword Saint’s persistent pursuit of the Sword Dao.
In contrast, the Sanfen Field in the Worldly Union looked as calm as usual without any grim atmosphere before the battle.
The many masters who were invited to watch the battle were sitting in the audience seats, and the people of Wushuang City had arrived as well. However, the Sword Saint, who was the Master of Wushuang City wasn’t here.
The sun was overhead, and the time for the battle had come!
The Sword Saint stood in front of the many steps leading to the Worldly Union, and the high steps looked as if they were reaching the sky.
While he walked up the steps, the viewers saw that the Sword Saint was nearing the end of his life.
The steps before him began to blur. When he looked up, the gate of the Worldly Union was as far as the sky!
Each step that he took was a fight with fate and nature!
Despite his hard efforts, he only covered a small part of the 1,000 steps.
He lost the battle before it even began! Everyone had predicted this ending!
What a regret it was that he lost the last battle in his life before he even began!
“I want to battle!”
The viewers saw that the Sword Saint’s steps were slow and even wobbly!
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky! A beam of light pierced the clouds and shone on the Sanfen Field. Then, the people found that the Sword Saint was standing proudly on the field without a sound!
“What… is this?!”
The viewers who were about to walk away from this lackl.u.s.ter battle were instantly stupefied!
At this moment, the Sword Saint looked magnificent and sharp, no longer tired and listless!
“What happened? Wasn’t the Sword Saint still climbing the steps a moment ago?”
“How come he got up here instantly?!”
The expressions of Song Qingfeng, Liang s.h.i.+, and the others’ faces changed drastically with bafflement.
At this moment, everyone felt a chilliness when they saw the overwhelming presence emitting from the Sword Saint’s eyes!
The presence was so sharp that everyone and everything within its range felt as if they were sliced by blades!
Before the Sword Saint showed his hand, Xiong Ba was frozen with fear!
Even the viewers such as Liang s.h.i.+ and Song Qingfeng were also stunned.
“How can this horrifying presence be only at the Grand Ancestral Warrior Realm?!
Since the scheduled time for the battle had pa.s.sed, a large group of elite warriors jumped out from behind Xiong Ba and charged forward.
The Sword Saint walked forward slowly as if he didn’t see them, and some of Xiong Ba’s fierce subordinates began hacking their sabers toward him!
However, something weird happened! The warriors all froze in mid-air!
Even the blood gus.h.i.+ng out from their bodies froze in mid-air!
Seeing this scene, Song Qingfeng, Liang s.h.i.+, and the other viewers felt totally blank!
