ndaozhu smiled and, with a wave of his hand, took out a jug of fine wine and poured a cup for Su Xin."Try this wine, it's worth far more than that Xuanxin wine you treated me to at the Tianyan Palace....When the battle roster was released, it immediately caused a stir at the venue.

The first eight matches weren't anything special.

But this final ninth game...

"Su Xin to Tu San"

"So early, you're already letting them two face each other"

How did the Red Dragon Building arrange this

Many people can't understand.

This final stage's one-on-one duel, the first two rounds of competition, thirty-six to eighteen, eighteen to nine. The reason why Chi Long Lou sets the battle order is because Chi Long Lou will, based on the strength these geniuses demonstrate, allow the top-tier talents to avoid each other and not be eliminated prematurely.

Now the competition has only reached the second round, with 18 contestants narrowed down to 9. So, Su Xin and Tu San are facing off...

Su Xin needs no further introduction. Given his demonstrated abilities, among the remaining seventeen prodigies, only Xia Mang might be worthy of being his opponent.

While Tu San might be slightly weaker than Su Xin, he is still one of the top talents in this hunting expedition.

Before the first stage of the hunt began, Tu San was considered a sure bet to make it into the top ten. In the second stage of the hunt, his performance was only surpassed by Su Xin and Xia Mang.

Under normal circumstances, they both should have made it to the final round of nine and were destined to enter the Heavenly Flame Palace.

Now, however, they have unexpectedly met.

"Your Majesty, what are we to do"

"Is this an attempt to suppress the Qi Wangfu"

On the high platform, both palace masters of Tianyan Palace looked rather strange.

They sat beside the Heavenly Inferno Sovereign and naturally saw what had just happened.

They knew that the Red Dragon Building had not arranged for Su Xin and Tu San to meet right now, but this was a special arrangement made by the Heavenly Flame Emperor.

……

The second round of the match has begun.

One genius after another stepped forward.

That summer, Mang Yi still effortlessly defeated her opponents with her domineering and fierce gun skills, not even using her full power.

Duanyunfeng's opponent was quite tough, and for a short time, Duanyunfeng only had a slight advantage. But later, Duanyunfeng unleashed his ultimate move.

That dazzling, tragic blood light flared up.

With just three strikes, he defeated his opponent.

Soon, the nine matches will be over, with only the last one remaining.

This last match is also the main event.

……

On the battlefield, Su Xin stood with his sword, while facing him was Tu San. His expression was cold, his eyes calm and still like a dead pool, devoid of any emotion.

In Tu San's hand appeared a pair of blood-colored claws, these were Tu San's weapons.

"Tu San, from Qi Wangfu Su Xin's eyes narrowed slightly."

As for the Duke's Mansion, he had some suspicions, wondering if it was the one where the Yinglong Guard had raided the Su family that night.

But that was just a suspicion; he couldn't be sure.

"Bring out your strongest ability, Su," he said calmly, his words brimming with absolute confidence.

He does have that kind of confidence.

If his cultivation hadn't broken through yet, facing Tu San would require him to exert himself to the fullest, using every trick in the book just to have a chance of winning.

After breaking through, his strength surged dramatically. It's now difficult for Tu San to pose a threat to him.

Tu San remained silent, but his figure had already flashed away.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fleeting streaks of light flashed one after another, Tǔ Sān's movements were incredibly swift and bizarre, leaving trails of afterimages all around him.

"What a fast speed!"

"This technique is so strange!"

In the audience, many people gasped in surprise.

Wow!

A streak of blood-red light suddenly appeared beside Su Xin, flashing like lightning towards his throat.

Su Xin glanced at the corner of his eye, his long sword swung out with a clang, scattering the bloody light.

Then Tu San directly erupted, claws waving.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! ~~

Only streaks of blood-red light, one after another, flashed out.

These crimson streaks, each one swift, accurate, and ruthless, with angles that are incredibly cunning.

Tu San further pushed his body technique to its limit, relying on it to unleash attacks crazily. In the eyes of the many spectators around him, he could only see streaks of blood-red light flashing rapidly, but they couldn't capture Tu San's figure at all.

But under this tempestuous assault, Su Xin's face remained tranquil, his entire being like an unyielding rock, firmly planted on the ground. His sword danced, imbued with the might of the mountains and seas, directly parrying each streak of crimson light. Not even a step did his two feet move.

"This is Su Xin's defensive swordsmanship!"

"This hunt, the number one recognized defense!"

"This sword technique is too invincible, that Tu San's body method is so strange, and the speed is so fast, but there's no way to deal with this sword technique at all.

Countless people marveled.

They had long learned about Su Xin's defensive swordsmanship from the intelligence of Chi Long Lou, which was considered the top defense in this hunt.

Before I had only heard about it, but now I am truly seeing it with my own eyes.

Wow! Wow!

The ever-increasing blood-colored streaks were getting faster and stronger.

Every one is as fast as lightning.

Each one contains astonishing power.

Like the claws of a monstrous beast.

Ke Su Xin remains as steady as a mountain.

Boom!

As his sword technique shifted, a ferocious aura suddenly erupted, instantly forcing Tu San back.

"Sān, is this your full strength" Su Xìn stared coldly at Sān.

Tu San Mian's face was like iron, he didn't respond at all.

Su Xin no longer wasted time following Tu San, his figure flashed, and he proactively attacked.

The longsword swung out, imbued with a nameless frenzy.

The air grew unbearably hot, sword intent surging and swirling, rolling up wave after wave of heat.

The entire battlefield seemed to be engulfed in a sea of flames.

The boundless sword intent surged forward, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, crashing down upon Tu San.

Tu San still relied on his agility and speed to entangle with Su Xin. However, under the guidance of that sword's momentum, the terrifying aura surged from all directions towards him.

This is Su Xin's mastery of the Leihuojuan after reaching its peak. It represents a greater degree of guidance and control over the "Leihuzhi勢" (Power of Thunderfire).

The

Three Strikes Technique could not be fully unleashed, it could only desperately try to defend.

This resistance clearly reveals the difference in power between the two sides.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a series of consecutive collisions, Tu San would be directly knocked back each time.

He has sustained some serious injuries over the course of several incidents.

"Not giving up yet" Su Xin frowned.

Anyone with eyes could see that Tu San had no chance in this battle.

The disparity in strength is still very apparent.

Most people, in this situation, would choose to admit defeat directly and not continue to be tormented.

Though he was being attacked, Tu San remained silent and his expression didn't change at all. He simply continued to struggle against Su Xin's assault.

"Humph!"

Su Xin let out a cold snort, her swordsmanship's might further increased.

BOOM!

Another brutal crushing attack, Tu San waved his claws to defend, but was once again sent flying.

As he was flung backwards, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of hot blood.

Su Xin had no intention of further entanglement with him. After smashing him away, she took a step forward, and an incredibly conspicuous icy sword light suddenly flared to life.

Phantom Scroll, First Form, Darklight!

This sword strike was incredibly fast, and Tu San's figure was already retreating. He had no way to block it.

If it was a real fight, Su Xin could have killed him with this single sword strike.

But after all, it was just a hunting match, Su Xin naturally couldn't go all out. When the sword light was about to touch Tu San's body, he had already changed its direction.

This sword strike was originally capable of cleaving through the three heads in one fell swoop, but now it only managed to leave a shallow cut on Tusa's shoulder.

Hmph!

Tu San steadied his stance, and in the next instant, he took a sudden step forward, waving his right hand.

Though he did not brandish his claws, a black light suddenly shot out from beneath his sleeve.

This ray of black light was actually a razor-sharp, half-foot-long black needle.

"Despicable!"

"This…"

There was a gasp from the audience.

That's too fast.

That came out of nowhere.

No one expected that Tu San would have such a hidden trick up his sleeve.

The key is that, even though Su Xin was clearly holding back, the distance was so close.

This black needle, that terrifyingly cold tip still directly shot towards Su Xin's skull.

Tu San's expression remained unchanged, but in his eyes, which seemed like a pool of stagnant water, a shocking killing intent flashed.

The prince commanded, "Su Xin shall be put to death!"

In Tu San's mind, there was only the command of that Young Master.

The sudden crisis also changed Su Xin's expression.

However... he once had a near-fatal assassination attempt.

That experience had already given him a profound lesson.

He was always on guard, with a touch of suspicion, towards anyone, at any time.

Though Tu San's move was sudden, and the black light indeed quick, Su Xin reacted immediately after sensing it.

Su Xin didn't have time to draw his sword, but on his body, strands of sword shadows condensed into tangible forms.

Su Xin's body hovered on the edge of danger, as if an additional layer of sword intent defense had materialized out of thin air.

"Shan Hai Realm!!"

"After the Mountain and Sea Scroll reaches its peak, sword intent can be condensed into a tangible form through pushing it to its limits, only then can the Sword Intent Realm be formed!"

On the high platform, both palace masters of Tianyan Palace were taken aback.

The Empress of the Diyue Palace stood up directly, exclaiming in surprise: "How is this possible Wasn't he still hunting in the second stage, just mastering the Great Completion of the Shan Hai Scroll How could he condense the Shan Hai Realm so quickly"

After mastering the Shan Hai Scroll to its greatest extent, one can cast the Shan Hai Domain technique.

To truly master the technique of 'Shan Hai Realm', it requires a certain amount of time to delve into its intricacies and comprehend its essence.

Under normal circumstances, it takes several months.

What do you think

From the end of the second stage hunting to now, hasn't it only been three days

In just three days, he mastered it

"This swordsmanship talent is simply incredible!"

The Lord of the Imperial Moon Palace had long been unable to find peace within his heart.

The realm of mountains and seas is a domain protected by sword intent.

That icy, terrifying black needle slammed into the Shan Hai domain, but instead of shattering it, it was shaken by the sword intent domain and landed on the ground.

The needle plunged into the ground, and in an instant there were sizzling sounds like boiling water poured onto snow.

The ground melted away at a terrifying speed, and in an instant, a huge pit appeared out of thin air.

"Poison!"

"On the tip of that needle, there was actually deadly poison!!"

The hundreds of thousands of spectators present, as well as the many top experts and dignitaries on the platform, all changed their expressions.

For a moment, the entire ground melted away.

Such terrifying poison, if it came into contact with a person's body...

If Sosuke couldn't rely on the Shan Hai domain to block that black needle, and let it pierce his body, even just breaking through a little bit of skin, the result...

You, looking for death!!

Su Xin's heart was filled with fury, his killing intent surging uncontrollably.

Ice-cold eyes, like those of a death god, instantly locked onto Tu San before him.

……e almost perfectly, bringing out the full power of each move.It was like this before.However, at this moment, as he wielded this sword technique again, it felt completely different.It's not because of...
