Chapter 192 Accidents one after another
The battle between Shangguan Wan and Wan Jian naturally attracted a lot of attention.
After all, both of them were well-known figures in the inner sect.
Although Shangguan Wan appears stronger than Wan Jian, Wan Jian's sword formation technique still holds a certain advantage in the enclosed space of the arena, which can narrow the gap between the two.
In addition, Shangguan Wan's swordsmanship is known for its defensive nature, rather than its offensive prowess.
In this way, in the eyes of the crowd, this battle will become a protracted war that they can watch.
However, they didn't expect that just now, Chu Yunfan had killed Ye Feng with a single sword strike.
Wan Jian's strength is similar to Ye Feng's.
If Shangguan Wan's battle becomes a stalemate, it will give people the illusion that the battle is deadlocked.
That is, Shangguan Wan's strength is inferior to Chu Yunfan's.
Shangguan Wan, however, would not allow such a thing to happen; she did not want to be seen as inferior to Chu Yunfan in the eyes of others.
Therefore, this time, Shangguan Wan changed her usual steady and methodical fighting style.
Upon stepping onto the competition stage, Shangguan Wan immediately unleashed a powerful peak-level Heaven-rank sword technique.
"A shower of stars!"
The "Starry Rain" technique is a sword aura formed by condensing the power of the starlight of the Tianxuan Star into raindrops, which is then used to attack the enemy.
In an instant, the competition stage was enveloped in an endless rain of starlight, giving people a dreamlike and beautiful feeling.
However, hidden within this dreamlike world lies endless danger.
The sky was filled with a rain of swords, like a volley of arrows, surrounding the myriad swords layer by layer.
Even if Wan Jian summoned hundreds of spiritual swords at the first moment, and then used the sword formation technique to multiply them into ten, it would be equivalent to thousands of spiritual swords launching an attack at the same time.
However, it still seemed insufficient in the face of Shangguan Wan's "Star Rain" move.
Soon, a continuous stream of star-like swords broke through the sword formation of ten thousand swords and landed on the ten thousand swords.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this Star Rain Sword looks like a series of beautiful water droplets; its power is by no means weak.
Each drop of starlight sword is equivalent to a normal attack from a peak Martial Venerable Realm expert.
Under the relentless barrage of star-rain sword attacks, Wan Jian's inner disciple robes, which were comparable to mid-grade defensive spiritual artifacts, were quickly torn and riddled with holes.
Fortunately, Wan Jian was wearing a high-grade spiritual artifact defensive inner armor.
Otherwise, with just this one move, his body would have been riddled with holes.
However, even a high-grade defensive spiritual artifact-level inner armor could not withstand Shangguan Wan's sharp attack. It quickly lost its spiritual light and showed signs of damage.
Moreover, the high-grade spiritual artifact defensive inner armor could only protect Wan Jian's upper body; the rest of his body could only be protected by spiritual energy armor formed from spiritual power.
The spiritual armor was even less able to withstand the relentless attacks of the Star Rain Sword.
Soon enough, Wan Jian was injured, and blood began to seep from his clothes.
Seeing that Wan Jian had not admitted defeat, Shangguan Wan immediately intensified her attack.
Now, Wan Jian's wounds multiplied rapidly, and he quickly became a blood-soaked figure.
"I surrender!"
Seeing that defeat was inevitable, Wan Jian had no choice but to utter these words.
Upon hearing Wan Jian concede defeat, Shangguan Wan finally stopped attacking.
Shangguan Wan's clean and decisive battle quickly sparked heated discussions among many inner disciples.
"Tsk tsk tsk! I never expected that Senior Sister Shangguan Wan's attacks would be so sharp, in addition to her defense!"
"Yes! It seems that Senior Sister Shangguan Wan has been hiding her strength all along."
It wasn't until this inner sect competition that they began to reveal their true strength!
"No wonder everyone says that Senior Sister Shangguan Wan is not someone to be trifled with."
Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
Anyone who dares to provoke her will be pierced through the heart by a thousand swords and die a swift and complete death!
……
Besides the ordinary inner disciples, the chief disciples of the other six peaks also couldn't help but show surprise when they saw Shangguan Wan's battle.
Judging from this battle, Shangguan Wan's strength is much higher than they expected.
Not only is its defense unparalleled, but its attack is equally formidable.
In particular, they all knew that Shangguan Wan had also comprehended the sword intent of water.
If Shangguan Wan's move just now had been combined with the sword intent of water, its power would have doubled.
"This inner sect competition is getting more and more interesting!"
On another arena, Jian Shisan, who had just defeated his opponent, turned to look in the direction where Shangguan Wan was.
Instead of the solemnity one would expect from facing a formidable foe, his face was brimming with fighting spirit.
This confidence stems from one's own strength.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the competition arena, Chu Yunfan was also paying attention to Shangguan Wan.
He was also taken aback when he discovered that Shangguan Wan had resolved the battle with lightning speed.
"It seems that Wan'er is also a strong-willed woman!"
Chu Yunfan smiled as he admired Shangguan Wan's dashing and heroic demeanor.
At the same time, Chu Yunfan's faint mutterings were clearly heard by Yu Feixuan, who was more than ten kilometers away.
Instantly, a knowing smile appeared on Yu Feixuan's face, adding an even more captivating charm to her already stunningly beautiful features.
Especially when Yu Feixuan noticed that after Shangguan Wan left the competition stage, she glanced at Chu Yunfan intentionally or unintentionally.
The smile on her face made her even more stunning.
The other peak masters nearby assumed that Yu Feixuan was happy because of Shangguan Wan's victory, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.
Originally, Shen Yujun, the peak master of Yuheng Peak who had a good relationship with Yu Feixuan, wanted to come and offer his congratulations.
However, at that moment, another astonishing statement came from the competition platform below, drawing everyone's attention, including that of the seven peak masters.
"Wang Batian wins against Wu Po's defense!"
"What? Wu Pofang was actually defeated!"
"That's right! And like Ye Feng, he was also defeated by an inner disciple who was previously unknown!"
"Holy crap! I didn't even see such an exciting competition!"
……
As soon as the referee finished speaking, a continuous murmur arose from the stands in the arena, like a chorus of frogs, rising and falling.
When the referee uttered those words, the most excited people in the audience were Wu Pojun and Chu Yunfan.
Wu Pojun, the chief disciple of Kaiyang Peak, is recognized as one of the top five contestants in the inner sect competition.
At the same time, he also has another identity: Wu Pofang's elder brother.
"His ability to break through defenses is stronger than that of Ye Feng and Wan Jian before, and he can almost secure a place in the top ten of the inner sect."
Unexpectedly, we were defeated by this person!
Wu Pojun stared intently at Wang Tianba, his gaze sharp as a sword, as if trying to see through Wang Tianba.
Originally, Wu Pojun believed that Wu Pofang would win this battle and did not pay any attention to it at all.
Unexpectedly, not long after Wu Pofang took office, news of his defeat came.
This surprised Wu Pojun and also made him take notice of Wang Tianba.
Of all the people who cared more about Wang Tianba than Wu Pojun, none was Chu Yunfan.
"Wang Tianba, I never expected it to really be him!"
When Chu Yunfan first heard the name Wang Tianba, he thought it was his imagination or that there was someone with the same name.
Only when he heard the referee announce that Wang Tianba had defeated Wu Pofang did Chu Yunfan turn around and realize that the Wang Tianba the referee was referring to was indeed the Wang Tianba he had killed once.
