Emperor of the North

As soon as Qing Feng appeared in the air above the White Jade Square, he used his powerful consciousness and said: "Everyone be quiet, today is the first day of our Gold Jade Sect"s great compet.i.tion, the first round of the inner sect disciples" compet.i.tion is about to begin, everyone partic.i.p.ating in it can go to their own stage to wait, this is the arena for the inner sect disciples" compet.i.tion, the location for the core disciples" compet.i.tion is the Golden Peak, and the outer sect disciples" compet.i.tion is at the plaza at the foot of the mountain, everyone do not be mistaken."

"The rules of the compet.i.tion are as follows. Use a random method to decide who your opponent is. This time, the number of inner sect disciples will total two thousand six hundred and eighty-two people. You will fight in the arena here …"

For example, the use of Dao talismans was prohibited, and people"s lives were not allowed to be harmed. Very soon, the disciples who were partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion all arrived at the side of the arena. Because the arena was limited, it required multiple fights every day.

Just like the other ninety-nine stages, Stage 57 was filled with inner disciples who had come to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. Other than them, there were also some outer disciples and other disciples who stood far away to watch the compet.i.tion.

Not long after, the hundred Innate realm managers jumped onto the hundred stages of the White Jade Square. They held a list in their hands, which was the judge for the compet.i.tion.

"Except for the referee, no one else is allowed to interfere in the battles of the different groups of disciples. Otherwise, no matter who it is, they will be severely punished! I shall announce the start of the inner court disciple compet.i.tion! "

"No. 288 Lin Yuan, No. 1439 Wu Jian, go on stage!"

Once Qing Feng"s order was given, the judge of Stage 57, the Gold Jade Sect, opened the list in her hands and called out the numbers and names of the two people.

Receiving the order from the referee, two people immediately walked out from Stage 57. They were two relatively young Gold Jade Sect Disciple s, both looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and although they looked young, their cultivations were not weak. One was mid-stage postcelestial, the other was late Xiantian.

"You all know the rules of the compet.i.tion, so I will not nag any further. Whoever leaves the arena first will be considered to have lost, and those who know that they cannot be defeated can admit defeat, remember to take their lives, and those who violate the rules of the sect will be punished!"

The referee spoke a few words, he then checked the two partic.i.p.ant tokens and inner sect disciple ident.i.ty token, after confirming the ident.i.ty of the two, he walked down the stage, the two Gold Jade Sect Disciple s who were called out looked at each other, and jumped up onto the stage.

Without saying much, the two Gold Jade Sect Disciple s who had leaped onto the stage immediately took out their weapons. One of them wielded two blades and the other wielded a long sword.

It was not just Stage 57, the other stages were also starting the first round of the compet.i.tion, it had to be said that this compet.i.tion was very stimulating, some of the more popular disciples and many of the supporters shouted for support, causing the hundred arenas of the gigantic White Jade Square to flicker with different colours, and the audience was shouting even louder.

There were a few among them who Li Mu could feel the pressure. All of these people were people who had reached the pinnacle of the Innate Realm and were experienced in battles.

On a stage not far from Ring 57, a middle-aged man let out a loud shout, and immediately after, he raised his hand and pointed at his opponent. A bright multicolored finger qi shot out, directly piercing through his opponent"s right shoulder.

Blood splattered. The inner disciples that had been hit by the Primordius Finger had been severely injured. He did not delay any further and directly admitted defeat, leaving the arena.

There were many situations like this. Although they were both Xiantian realm warriors, because of the difference in power techniques, martial skills, and weapons, there was still a huge gap between the strength of the inner disciples and that of their opponents.

A loud shout came out from Stage 57, which was in front of Li Mu. The dual blade wielding inner disciple raised his blade and his body quickly rotated, forming a yellow tornado and knocked his opponent out of the stage, obtaining victory.

"Number 288 Lin Yuan wins!" The next group will be number one thousand three hundred and fourteen Li Mu, number seven hundred eighty-nine, Yuwen Ji! "

After the first group"s battle ended, the referee opened up the list in his hand and announced the next group"s members.

Just as Li Mu stepped onto the stage, his opponent Yuwen Ji followed suit.

Li Mu sized up the opponent in front of him. It was a man around 30 years of age, holding a thick refined iron rod, his cultivation level was mid-stage postcelestial.

"Senior-apprentice Brother, I think you should just directly go down. I estimate that you won"t be able to withstand a single blow from my pair of heavy hammers. In order to avoid unnecessary injuries, I think you should just go down.

Looking at the opponent in front of him, Li Mu smiled lightly.

"Such arrogant words. You only have Early Xiantian but you actually dare to boast like that. Allow me, Yuwen Ji, to see just how capable you are. To think you would have the courage to say such words to an existence higher than you, like me!"

Yuwen Ji was infuriated by Li Mu"s words. The True Essence in his body surged, and the iron rod in his hand flickered with a green light, transforming into a dozen rod shadows in the air, flying towards Li Mu.

Li Mu helplessly shook his head, he swung the heavy hammer in his right hand hard and directly smashed it onto Yuwen Ji"s metal rod.

"Boom!"

With an explosive sound, Li Mu smashed his hammer against Yuwen Ji"s thick iron rod. Li Mu had only used 50% of his strength for this hammer strike, but Yuwen Ji would not be able to withstand it even if he had only used 50% of his strength.

The iron rod in Yuwen Ji"s hand was bent by Li Mu"s hammer. Under the powerful impact, Yuwen Ji was washed off the stage, while at the same time, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Li Mu being able to kill his opponent in one move naturally caused a lot of commotion among the people below. Unlike the other late Xiantian experts, Li Mu"s cultivation was lower than his opponent"s, but he was able to deal with his opponent in one move.

Li Mu jumped down the stage, and laughed bitterly at Yuwen Ji, who still had not reacted. After he said this, Yuwen Ji was so angry that he spat out another mouthful of blood, if not for his zhen yuan cultivation being powerful, he would have fainted.

After the round ended, Li Mu did not have the intention to stay any longer. He placed the two hammers on his shoulders and walked towards the other stages.

Because there were simply too many arenas, Li Mu started to ask about the heavenly law within the heliogram fragment.

"Kid, you want to see the strength of those formidable opponents, let me tell you, forget it, although we are both in the Xiantian realm, but the strong ones would easily finish the battle in a few breaths, and before you can even go over, I have already finished."

Then why don"t you help me look around and see where Leng Qingcheng is? I haven"t seen her in a long time. I want to see her. "

Li Mu felt that Luan Tian"s words were not unreasonable, and after thinking for a while, he came up with another idea.

Luan Tian speechlessly cursed, as he felt that Li Mu"s suggestion was beneath his notice.

"That"s true. I heard that women hold the most grudges. According to what you said, I think it would be better if I didn"t go. Huh?" Isn"t that Xiao Kuan? What is he doing, he still hasn"t won his first battle! "

Li Mu"s eyes turned, just in time to see a stage not far away, where Xiao Kuan was currently fighting with someone, and it was rare to see someone familiar, so Li Mu immediately walked towards Xiao Kuan"s stage.

Walking to Stage 75, Xiao Kuan clearly saw the scene of Xiao Kuan"s big battle.

Xiao Kuan"s opponent was a young man around thirty years of age. Different from the time when Xiao Kuan held the Giant Que in his hands, the young man did not use any weapon, as his entire body was covered in a layer of refined iron armor, and he even wore two sets of refined iron fists. From the zhen yuan qi that he was releasing, he was impressively also a late Xiantian expert who was of a similar level to Xiao Kuan.

Xiao Kuan slashed out his Giant Que from time to time, slashing his opponent"s fine iron armor, but each slash did not cause much damage to the opponent, and was completely blocked by his opponent"s fine iron armor, and even rebounded his opponent.

"What a good set of fine iron armor, and it"s actually at the eighth level. The giant sword is ten thousand kilograms, and with Xiao Kuan"s blade technique and martial skill, logically speaking, he should be unrivalled. I didn"t expect to meet such a strong opponent in the first match."

Looking at the battle on the stage, Li Mu could not help but mutter.

"Three Styles of Breaking Sky, Slashing the World!"

"Iron Killing Fist, unparalleled in the world!"

Facing Xiao Kuan"s finishing blow, the man in the metal armor was not one to be outdone. With a low and deep growl, he aimed both of his fists at the pitch-black blade Qi and threw out a punch, causing his surging true essence to transform into two streaks of silver light pillars in the air, blocking the attack of the pitch black blade Qi.
