Tangyu's words, though with a hint of arrogance, were very genuine.

Gumu Can's face darkened, and he swung his wooden-colored sword, thrusting it forward, instantly releasing a beam of Sword Qi that transformed into a hundred-zhang long sharp edge, slashing towards Tangyu. The Sword Qi was overwhelming, with a feeling of tearing through space to kill. If it were faced with this sword at the Ninth Layer Mystic Law Realm, even their expression might change.

This Sword Qi was merely a feint, the real killer move was swiftly following, countless sword shadows covering the sky, so densely packed that they completely engulfed this part of the void. It seemed as if it intended to completely destroy this void. Each sword shadow was half-real, half-fictitious, charged with Sword Qi. Though not real swords, they were extraordinarily terrifying, at least able to slay a Sixth Layer Mystic Law Realm with just one Sword Qi.

The thousands of sword shadows crashing down made for a majestic scene, stirring excitement and tension. Gumu Can's figure was hidden among these thousands of sword shadows, his real sword transformed into the most fearsome, fatal strike, attacking Tangyu. The momentum of Gumu Can's attack didn't seem to be any less than Yan Huohuo's, even stronger, Tangyu thought.

After all, Gumu Can's reputation wasn't lesser than Yan Huohuo's, and Gumu Can was also a disciple under the Daoist Sword True Lord. If Gumu Can faced Yan Huohuo in a battle, the outcome would be hard to say.

Facing Gumu Can's offensive, Tangyu remained utterly calm and unthreatened.

He still used the Mindful Style, still light and leisurely, but also completely destroyed Gumu Can's sword force, disintegrating it without any suspense. In this duel, Gumu Can naturally lost. Of course, Tangyu spared Gumu Can after defeating him, merely withdrawing his sword without injuring Gumu Can as he did with Yan Huohuo.

Gumu Can put away his sword and cupped his fist to Tangyu: "I'm impressed. Tangyu, you are the person I admire most. It's foreseeable that your future achievements are immeasurable. Perhaps I will always look up to your achievements, but I will never give up pursuing you."

Tangyu smirked and said, "A resolute person achieves their goals, Immortal Cultivation is about cultivating the heart. With this determination, I believe your future is also immeasurable. I'm eager to one day have a three-hundred-round battle with you."

Gumu Can chuckled and turned back to his place. As he said, though defeated, he felt honored. Losing to Tangyu was certainly not embarrassing. Having the qualification to battle Tangyu was already a great honor, an opportunity not everyone had. Gumu Can looked at this point with great optimism.

Gumu Can's repeated defeat at Tangyu's hand further reinforced Tangyu's prestige. Others also avoided challenging Tangyu, not wanting to be embarrassed. Instead, the others unanimously chose to battle Pan Chenyu. Ye Ren and Pan Chenyu had an exceptionally intense fight, lasting a full half an hour before the victor was determined. Ultimately, Pan Chenyu defeated Ye Ren using the second axe of the Pangu Nine Axes.

Seeing Pan Chenyu's second axe of the Pangu Nine Axes, Tangyu's eyes slightly brightened; it seemed his talent in the Pangu Nine Axes wasn't much weaker than Tangyu's. He had also cultivated the second axe of Pangu Nine Axes. However, comparing it to Tangyu's, Pan Chenyu's flaws were too many, very imperfect, lacking finesse. Therefore, its power naturally couldn't compare to Tangyu's.

Nonetheless, in Pan Chenyu's hands, it unleashed stunning power.

The subsequent challengers didn't present much suspense; Zi Cang and Xing Tian couldn't withstand dozens of rounds before being defeated. Finally, Hua Wuliang took the stage.

Seeing Hua Wuliang, Tangyu brightened up a bit, knowing this guy could hide well. He wondered if Hua Wuliang would play the "pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger" trick again this time. Tangyu always felt that this guy was not simple.

Hua Wuliang grinned harmlessly, looking at Pan Chenyu and said, "No rush, let's clarify first: this time, I don't intend to compete with you for anything. Your strength is very strong, so you should go easy on me, okay? Even if I lose, don't make me look too bad, right? Hey, hey, don't look at me like that, I'm telling you the truth."

Hua Wuliang's plea was certainly despised by many; the guy was indeed very unscrupulous.

Pan Chenyu didn't waste words with Hua Wuliang and directly attacked. Seeing Pan Chenyu attack without a word, Hua Wuliang immediately fled, quite ungallant, not resembling the style of a top warrior, which was even more disdainful.

While running, he shouted, "Hey, Panyu Chen, you should at least notify me before attacking! You're so rude to attack silently, very scary, too impolite. We're all civilized people, don't be so rough. I think we should sit down and talk first, and then fight. Even when hanging, people need a chance to breathe; stop, stop, if you don't, I will fight back. Damn, you're serious, damn it."

Hua Wuliang cursed while running but was forced to fight back by Pan Chenyu. Although Hua Wuliang claimed to be weak, his strength was indeed notable, also Ninth Layer Mystic Law Realm. Hua Wuliang's techniques were complex, sometimes swordsmanship, sometimes knife techniques. His movement speed was extremely fast, giving him an advantage over Pan Chenyu. Hua Wuliang used this advantage to avoid direct confrontation and played tricks with Pan Chenyu.

This situation made Pan Chenyu frown, as it was very frustrating.

Tangyu shook his head, internally ridiculing, "Hua Wuliang seems to be playing tricks again, trying to lull Pan Chenyu into vulnerability and then deliver a heavy blow. This guy is truly shameless to use such sleazy tricks."

With Hua Wuliang, the unscrupulous guy, this battle added quite a bit of fun. Even though it was an intense fight, there wasn't a hint of tension or pressure, instead, it was very joyful.

Pan Chenyu's temperament was excellent. Facing an opponent like Hua Wuliang, he wasn't provoked at all and remained composed in the battle. Methodical, without the slightest bit of distraction. In terms of movement technique speed, Hua Wuliang had a certain advantage, but Pan Chenyu's attacking gestures were also extremely fierce. Meanwhile, Hua Wuliang did not engage Pan Chenyu head-on, focusing mainly on dodging and side-attacks.

After the two fought for a while, Pan Chenyu's eyes darkened: "It's time!"

With a flash in his hand, Pan Chenyu's Nine Plate Axe appeared, and he struck down at Hua Wuliang from mid-air. The second axe of the Pangu Nine Axes, the force was earth-shattering, with supreme might bearing down on Hua Wuliang.

Hua Wuliang exclaimed loudly: "Damn, playing serious so quickly? Can't we have a joyful fight? Oh man, you're forcing me here. Why can't I just be a quiet pretty boy? Why can't I be low-key for once, why must you force me to explode?"

Though Hua Wuliang's words were outrageous, his actions did not hesitate. His eyes became somewhat serious.

Boom——

Hua Wuliang made a powerful move, unleashing ripples of energy from his hand like umbrellas, enveloping him securely. The ripples spread out like scattering flowers, sweeping through the space, extremely strange.

Pan Chenyu's Nine Plate Axe struck the ripples, feeling like it was stuck in a quagmire, greatly weakening the power of the Pangu Nine Axes, slowing its speed down. It was as if frozen there, the original earth-shattering momentum suppressed all at once.

After sending out the ripples, Hua Wuliang raised his sword and swept out like a dawn aurora, the sword edge heavily clashing against Pan Chenyu's Nine Plate Axe, producing a sound like a loud bell echoing, earth-shaking and reaching the heavens.

The power exploded instantly, ringing with a clang, earth-shattering.

Rumble!!!

Both of their powers erupted completely, causing both to be sent flying, falling out of the ring, and only managing to land on the ground several hundred yards away. Only then did the space return to peace, and the world regained its light. Everyone's gaze was wide-eyed, many looked surprised. Even the Elders looked at Hua Wuliang with rather peculiar expressions.

This unscrupulous guy, who seemed so weak before, was unexpectedly strong. No one expected him to draw with Pan Chenyu.

Such a result was certainly beyond many people's expectations. In the disciple selection, Pan Chenyu was second only to Tangyu. Last time, he beat Hua Wuliang, but this time, it was a draw. One can't help but marvel at Hua Wuliang's strength, his growth and improvement reaching such a frightening level.

Tangyu shrugged: "I knew this guy wasn't simple, as expected pretending to be weak to fool the strong, reaching such strength, is quite impressive."

Zhuang Qian and Holy Sun swallowed hard, looking at each other, both cursing in unison: "Despise, so despise, Hua Wuliang this bastard is simply incomparable in his trickery."

The two were tied, Elder Yu glanced over at the Sect Master Immortal to see how to judge this situation. The Sect Master Immortal gestured for Elder Yu to handle it himself.

Elder Yu looked at Pan Chenyu and Hua Wuliang and said, "You two ended in a tie, now which of you wants to fight with Tangyu? You three will contend for the top three spots."

Pan Chenyu shook his head: "My strength is definitely not a match for Tangyu, but I still want to fight Tangyu, to see how far his Pangu Nine Axes have reached."

Hua Wuliang shrugged: "Then I won't go up and embarrass myself."
