Chapter 221 Competition
Hall Interior.
When Chu Tianhe asked Qin Ming this question, the Hall Interior became silent.
At this moment, the other Old Ancestors did not come forward to dissuade him, because they also wanted to see for themselves whether the true strength of this legendary Cultivator of Wei Kingdom was as powerful as the rumors said.
Daoist Long heard the Combat invitation issued by the Spirit Sword Mountain Old Ancestor, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he replied in a muffled voice, "Since Senior Chu has such interest and wants to regain prestige for his disciple, I can also accompany you."
At this time, Nalan Xi also spoke, "Since both of you agree to resolve the conflict through Combat Method, and considering the Beast Calamity is currently upon us, the Combat should be limited to a friendly exchange. Under no circumstances should lives be taken. I shall act as the witness."
Nalan Xi saw that Daoist Long had a forthright personality, was upright, and possessed great strength. She developed a fondness for talent. Although she had failed to win him over, she did not want anything to happen to him in the Immortal City.
After thinking for a moment, she secretly transmitted her voice to Qin Ming, Little Friend Long, this Chu Tianhe of Spirit Sword Mountain is not comparable to ordinary Pseudo-Core Cultivators whom Dugu Yang has defeated.
As the Old Ancestor of Spirit Sword Mountain, not only can this person exert seventy percent of the Cultivation strength of a Golden Core Cultivator, but he has also Cultivated the Sword Dao Divine Power of Spirit Sword Mountain to the Perfection Realm.
If you are not confident, you should reconsider.
Qin Ming heard this and cast a grateful glance towards True Person Nalan Xi, but his Expression remained calm as usual, without the slightest intention of retreating or showing timidity.
Chu Tianhe of Spirit Sword Mountain saw that Daoist Long had agreed, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. He then said, "Since it is a Combat Sparring, we should add some stakes as a bet. If Little Friend Long loses, then your Thunder-attribute Demon Core will belong to this old man."
As soon as Chu Tianhe said this, the surrounding Core Formation Grandmasters secretly cursed him for being shameless.
After all this, it turned out that this old scoundrel had taken a fancy to the Second Order Perfection Demon Core on Daoist Long!
Qin Ming also sneered inwardly upon hearing this, and then he also asked, "Since Senior Chu has taken a fancy to my Demon Core, I wonder what Senior will use as a bet?"
"As long as it is equivalent in Value to this Second Order Perfection Thunder-attribute Demon Core, whether it is Spirit Stones, Cultivation Methods, Spirit Materials, Talismans, Pills, etc., you can make your request."
"As the master of a sect, this old man can still afford these things." Chu Tianhe said with a fake smile.
He had never even considered that he might lose. Chu Tianhe was extremely confident in his own Strength. Even if Daoist Long was a Body Cultivator, he was fully confident in defeating him.
Qin Ming was secretly delighted to hear that Spirit Materials could be chosen at will, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, the group left the Great Hall.
The Combat venue was set up on an Open Ground on the Azure Sea Peak Side Peak.
Hearing that there would be a False Core level Combat, the nearby Cultivators all rushed to watch the spectacle.
False Core Old Ancestors already belonged to the category of truly Top-Tier Cultivators in the Southern Wastelands Cultivation World.
Being able to witness such a grand event with their own eyes would provide plenty of topics for after-Tea conversations.
"What?!"
"The Old Ancestor Chu Tianhe of Spirit Sword Mountain of Jin Kingdom has issued a challenge to Daoist Long, the legendary Cultivator of Wei Kingdom?!"
"Isn't this clearly bullying the weak with the strong?"
"Haha! That Daoist Long of Wei Kingdom is doomed to lose! Our sect's Old Ancestor Chu recently comprehended the 'Awakening of Insects Sword Intent'. He is invincible below Golden Core!"
"Hurry, the Combat is about to begin!"
"This is definitely an unprecedented Battle!"
"I still bet Daoist Long will win!"
…
On Azure Sea Peak Side Peak, a group of Cultivators had already arrived upon hearing the news, gathering a large crowd.
Of course, the Cultivators who could come up to watch were either qualified to reside in the Core District, or they rented Cave Residences on Vast Ocean Peak. Their respective backgrounds and Strengths were not to be underestimated.
"Since both of you are ready, let the Combat begin." Nalan Xi immediately announced, and then raised her hand and waved, setting up a protective Barrier centered on the two.
The watching Cultivators were also relieved and stopped to watch the Battle. The Barrier set up by a Core Formation Grandmaster was naturally not something that the two Inside the Field could break.
Chu Tianhe of Spirit Sword Mountain flew into the field, his Aura surging, completely releasing his False Core Realm Cultivation.
'Hehe! I didn't expect this kid to actually dare accept my Combat invitation. It seems he is overconfident in his own Strength.'
'He thinks that by fluke he killed a Second Order Perfection Demonic Beast, he can challenge a False Core.'
'It's a pity, I am not an easy opponent.'
'Ignorant junior, daring to provoke the prestige of Spirit Sword Mountain, I must give him a Lesson he will never forget!' Just as Nalan Xi's words fell.
Chu Tianhe's eyes sharpened, even when facing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Daoist Long, he had no intention of holding back.
"I have heard that Little Friend Long's Body Refinement Technique is extremely powerful. Today, I will see whether this old man's sword is indestructible, or your Physical Body is even better."
Qin Ming, transformed into a Curly-Bearded Strongman, was not at all timid, and laughed carelessly, "Hehe! I also want to experience Senior Chu's exquisite Sword Moves."
"However, I am just a boorish man and do not know how to control my Strength. If I accidentally injure Senior later, please do not blame me."
Chu Tianhe's Expression changed upon hearing this, and he said coldly and angrily, "You have quite the courage, sir. Words are useless, let's see the truth under our hands."
In the next instant, Chu Tianhe's short and stout body moved. His right hand formed a Sword Art in the air, pointing towards the sky! *Zheng!* Chu Tianhe's entire aura suddenly changed.
A scarlet Spirit Sword emitting terrifying fluctuations flew out, hovering directly above his head.
"It's actually a Top-Grade Spirit Tool!"
"Isn't that the 'Rainbow Sword', one of the twelve famous swords of Spirit Sword Mountain?"
"Hiss~ Old Ancestor Chu is going to get serious!"
*Boom!* "Condense!"
A strong Sword Intent erupted from Chu Tianhe's body, soaring into the sky, as if merging with the Rainbow Sword above his head, becoming one with the sword!
A hundred-feet-long Rainbow Sword Light rose up, seeming to pierce the firmament, emitting a terrifying Power as if to destroy the heavens and the earth.
*Shua!* Chu Tianhe did not intend to entangle with this junior Qin Ming, fighting back and forth, as that would make him, the master of a sect, appear incompetent.
Therefore, he used his trump card Sword Move right from the start.
It was precisely the 'Awakening of Insects Sword Intent' he had newly comprehended.
As Chu Tianhe pointed with his Sword Incantation, the hundred-feet-long Rainbow Sword Light, with a force of crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, instantly pierced through the void and slashed down towards Qin Ming opposite him.
Even the Cultivators watching from the side, seeing such terrifying Sword Qi, were also frightened and worried for Daoist Long on the opposite side.
Nalan Xi was slightly surprised to see this sword, and said, "To be able to Cultivate Sword Intent to such a degree, Chu Tianhe is also a pity. With his Earth Grade Spirit Root, if he hadn't been impatient and only formed a False Core back then, I'm afraid there would be one more heaven-defying Sword Cultivator among the Golden Core Fellow Daoists."
She shook her head, and looked again at Daoist Long transformed by Qin Ming, already concluding in her heart that he would not be able to withstand Chu Tianhe's sword, and was already prepared to step in and block it.
But just as she was about to act.
She saw that Daoist Long had no intention of avoiding it, so she decided to watch a little longer.
Even when facing such a Sword Move, Qin Ming was not afraid at all. His True Qi Transformation had already reached the third transformation, and he only lacked Demon Beast Essence Blood to Cultivate the legendary 'True Apex Body'.
At this moment, facing Chu Tianhe of the False Core Realm, it was still more than enough.
Just when everyone was still immersed in the shocking Sword Move of Old Ancestor Chu Tianhe of Spirit Sword Mountain.
Suddenly!
A towering Blood-colored Four-Armed Demonic Ape illusory figure emerged from Daoist Long's body!
The moment the Blood-colored Demon Ape appeared, an Aura like a primordial behemoth descended! *Crack!*
Under this immense Power, even the Barrier set up by Nalan Xi suddenly cracked like glass! *Bang!* The Blood-colored Demon Ape simultaneously extended its four arms and turned them into palms, clapping its four palms together towards the incoming Rainbow Sword Light! It actually forcibly caught this sword with its bare hands!
"How is this possible?!" An expression of disbelief appeared on Chu Tianhe's face.
But what horrified him even more was yet to come.
He saw the Blood-colored Demon Ape suddenly exert force with its four arms! *Crack!*
The hundred-feet-long Rainbow Sword Light was instantly shattered by the Demon Ape's immense force, turning into countless stars and dissipating in the air.
*Zheng!* The Rainbow Spirit Sword lost control and was grabbed by the Blood-colored Demon Ape's palm, and casually put away by Qin Ming.
Chu Tianhe was caught off guard by this, and spat out a mouthful of old blood. Just as he was still in a daze.
The Blood-colored Demon Ape closed its five fingers into a fist, spanning hundreds of feet in distance, and bombarded towards him!
