Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

Zhao Beichen’s sword traced a fan-shaped arc, the sword light swift beyond compare.

In the blink of an eye, the ice spikes in the sky turned into ice powder, drifting away.

The woman seized this opportunity to close in, her longsword enveloped in an overwhelming icy force.

Even a slight touch would likely result in frostbite from the chilling power.

Boom!!!

Zhao Beichen’s eyes were indifferent as he took a step forward.

His speed was so fast that he left an afterimage lingering for a split second!

The sword in his hand flashed with dazzling golden light, striking at the woman’s vital points in an instant!

“Desolate Dominator Sword!!”

An ancient and desolate aura slowly emanated as the youth’s sword fiercely slashed towards the woman’s waist.

Bang! Clang!!

The immense force behind the ice-blue longsword’s horizontal block sent the woman flying dozens of meters.

However, in mid-air, the woman suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

Splat!!

Li Guanqi abruptly sat up from the high platform!!

He saw that the woman’s spirit soul weapon longsword had a small nick the size of a pinky nail!

One must know that spirit soul weapons are the life-bound weapons nurtured by each individual.

They are incredibly tough, not to mention that every spirit soul weapon is crafted with painstakingly sourced materials by the cultivator.

Yet, the opponent’s blade had so easily chipped the woman’s spirit soul weapon longsword!!

This scene left the onlookers momentarily stunned.

“When did spirit soul weapons become so fragile?”

Someone sneered, “It’s probably not that simple, right?”

“Did you notice that Zhao Beichen’s aura has changed?”

Not only the onlooking cultivators but even some elders from major sects were now looking at the high platform with extremely grave expressions.

Qin Xian murmured in a deep voice, “That kid’s Spirit Ruin ability is probably not that simple!”

“Could it be… Blade Breaker!!!”

The woman’s beautiful eyes on the high platform were also fixed on Zhao Beichen not far away.

She shouted in a deep voice, “Your Spirit Ruin ability is Blade Breaker!!”

That’s right!

Zhao Beichen’s Spirit Ruin ability was Blade Breaker, capable of shattering any user’s spirit soul weapon!

As long as his strength was comparable to his opponent’s, his Spirit Ruin ability could shatter the opponent’s spirit soul weapon!

Once the Spirit Ruin lost its vessel, the spirit soul weapon, it naturally couldn’t exert any power.

Zhao Beichen walked forward step by step, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth as he lightly sneered.

“Oh? You have good eyes to recognize my Spirit Ruin ability.”

“But… it seems your Lingxiao Pavilion’s path to advancement ends here.”

As he spoke, Zhao Beichen’s aura grew more terrifying, his presence reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection in the blink of an eye!!

This meant that Zhao Beichen now was no different from a half-step Golden Elixir expert.

The only difference was that Zhao Beichen hadn’t truly broken through the realm.

The primordial energy in his pubic region hadn’t condensed into a pill.

Even standing below the platform, Li Guanqi could clearly feel the overwhelming aura.

This made him narrow his eyes, calculating his chances against Zhao Beichen.

But even after a long time of consideration, Li Guanqi couldn’t come to a conclusion.

In the end, he summarized that if the two stood on the arena, the outcome would be fifty-fifty!

Boom!!

Everyone stood up!

Zhao Beichen left three afterimages in place, his sword mercilessly slashing towards the woman!

The Desolate Dominator Sword was the top sword technique of the Purple Sun Hall.

The intricacies of the sword technique were extremely obscure and difficult to understand, and Zhao Beichen was the first Foundation Establishment disciple to comprehend it to the fourth level!

Three swords!

With the first slash, the blade of the woman’s ice-blue longsword began to shatter.

Frost surged around the woman, her teeth clenched tightly!

With the second slash, the ice flower mark on the woman’s forehead began to dissipate under the desolate sword light.

Wherever the two passed, the arena floor was torn into countless fragments.

The woman’s right hand was dripping with blood, her palm split, her face pale as paper!

In her desperate movements, she could only swing the broken sword, raising waves of frost in a frantic resistance.

With the third slash, the sharp sword light radiated across the arena, causing the entire platform to tremble slightly.

In the chaotic sword light, the crowd could only vaguely see the dazzling ice flower behind Ji Linglan beginning to shatter bit by bit!!

The frost dimmed, and the broken sword bled.

The woman had a total of eighteen sword wounds on her body, her robe stained red with blood.

Ji Linglan’s expression was dazed, her eyes hollow as she collapsed to the ground.

Behind her, Zhao Beichen sheathed his sword with an indifferent gaze, speaking softly.

“With you?”

“I’m afraid you can’t even touch my Purple Sun Hall!”

The violent aura around him gradually retracted, returning to his usual indifferent demeanor.

At this moment, the peak of Tianyu Mountain was silent, everyone shocked by Zhao Beichen’s immense strength.

The power displayed by both sides just now was not inferior to any newly entered Golden Elixir stage cultivator!

Even many mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivators shook their heads solemnly, indicating they might not be able to defeat Zhao Beichen!

He was a true prodigy!!

One of the top prodigies in the entire Northern Region!

In the sky, Ge Qing took a deep breath. Even though these two were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, they still broadened his horizons.

He hadn’t expected Foundation Establishment disciples to be this strong now!

The old man spoke in a deep voice, “Purple Sun Hall versus Lingxiao Pavilion, Purple Sun Hall wins!”

Then the old man looked at the stele, and with Purple Sun Hall’s victory, their points began to rise continuously.

Finally, they stopped at the first place!

However, at this moment, Zhao Beichen, with a proud expression, suddenly turned to look towards the stands.

Following his gaze, everyone saw the white-clothed youth carrying a sword box.

Li Guanqi!

The one who had led the Great Xia Sword Sect to this point!

The darkest of dark horses!

No one had expected an unknown Great Xia Sword Sect to reach the final battle under the leadership of a youth.

Sixth place.

A ranking the Great Xia Sword Sect had never dreamed of.

Everyone couldn’t help but look forward to the battle between Zhao Beichen and Li Guanqi!

At this moment, Zhao Beichen suddenly looked at the blind youth, drawing countless gazes to the two of them.

A wicked smile appeared on Zhao Beichen’s handsome face.

Pointing his sword at Li Guanqi, he spoke softly, “To be honest, I’m looking forward to our fight.”

“You are strong.”

Li Guanqi shrugged at these words, holding the trembling little girl in his arms as he turned and flew away.

As he left, he spoke softly.

“Wait for me.”

This statement caused an uproar in the crowd!

The onlookers naturally knew that the Great Xia Sword Sect still needed to win one more time tomorrow!

But judging from Li Guanqi’s previous performance, he was already at the end of his rope.
