Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

At this moment, the most shocked person was none other than Chu Yunfan.

He had just fought Jian Shisan and knew Jian Shisan's strength very well.

Now, Wang Tianba has actually managed to defeat Jian Shisan. This strength is simply beyond Chu Yunfan's imagination.

"What exactly happened to him in the past six months?"

Chu Yunfan stared intently at Wang Tianba, as if trying to see through him.

However, no matter how Chu Yunfan looked at it, he could only discover that Wang Tianba had comprehended the Blood Sword Intent, and it was a perfect Blood Sword Intent.

Just as Chu Yunfan was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Wang Tianba suddenly turned to look at Chu Yunfan.

At that moment, Chu Yunfan suddenly had a guess in his mind.

"Could it be that Wang Tianba obtained some kind of evil technique, which is why his strength has increased so rapidly?"

Chu Yunfan made this guess for two reasons.

Firstly, Chu Yunfan saw that bloodshot, evil look in Wang Tianba's eyes once again.

Moreover, this look was even more pronounced than the one Chu Yunfan had seen last time, and it also revealed a madness that wanted to destroy everything.

As for the second reason, it's because Chu Yunfan knew that there were some evil cultivation methods on the Qingyun Continent that could allow cultivators to rapidly increase their strength in a short period of time.

For example, the methods of absorbing yin to replenish yang and absorbing yang to replenish yin mentioned by Xiang Fei belong to the category of evil practices.

Besides enabling practitioners to rapidly increase their strength, these evil techniques also share another common characteristic.

That is, it will cause those who practice evil arts to also become evil in their minds.

"Regardless of whether what he practices is evil or not."

In short, he must be completely eliminated in this inner sect competition!

A murderous intent flashed in Chu Yunfan's heart. Immediately afterwards, he left the arena and returned to Tianji Peak to continue practicing the "Great Fusion Technique" that he had just comprehended.

Time always flies when you're practicing.

Chu Yunfan felt as if only a moment had passed, and then it was the next day.

On this day, Chu Yunfan's opponent was Xiao Yi, the chief disciple of Tianji Peak.

Because of their rivalry, even though they both came from Tianji Peak, Xiao Yi showed no courtesy to Chu Yunfan.

Upon stepping onto the stage, without even exchanging a few polite words, Xiao Yi immediately unleashed his ultimate move—the "Tianji Star Killing Sword"—to launch a surprise attack on Chu Yunfan.

However, Chu Yunfan's sword speed has already reached a level far beyond that of ordinary people. He stood still, and the Wind Spirit Sword in his hand danced like a phantom, directly blocking Xiao Yi's attack.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfan used the "Tianji Shadowless Sword" to teleport away from the original spot.

At the same time, Chu Yunfan also created countless afterimages in the air by perfecting the Wind Sword Intent, thus confusing Xiao Yi's vision.

Then, endless sword energy of wind surrounded Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi's strength lies in his ghostly teleportation and extremely fast sword speed.

Now, his sword speed is not as fast as Chu Yunfan's, and he can't even use teleportation to sneak attack Chu Yunfan.

On this arena, facing the endless sword energy of wind, even if he could teleport, he would have nowhere to hide.

Moreover, he lacked the formidable defense of Wu Pojun and the incredibly fierce attacks of Jian Shisan.

Thus, Xiao Yi's defeat was inevitable, and he could only leave the stage in a miserable manner.

For Chu Yunfan, defeating Xiao Yi was nothing out of the ordinary. He didn't take it to heart and immediately returned to Tianji Peak after the battle to continue cultivating his "Great Fusion Technique".

After all, Wang Tianba's strength had exceeded Chu Yunfan's expectations. He had to make the most of every moment to improve his own strength in order to prepare for the battle with Wang Tianba.

And finally, the time has come.

After half a month, the Inner Sect Competition has finally come to its final battle, which is also the most exciting one: the championship battle between Chu Yunfan and Wang Tianba!

Because, so far, after all rounds of battles, only Chu Yunfan and Wang Tianba have the highest scores.

Chu Yunfan and Jian Shisan drew their match, placing Chu Yunfan second in the standings.

Wang Tianba, on the other hand, won every battle and ranked the highest in points.

If Chu Yunfan draws with Wang Tianba in this battle, or loses, he will miss out on winning first place in the inner sect competition.

Only by defeating Wang Tianba can Chu Yunfan become the only undefeated champion in the inner sect competition and win first place.

Of course, for Chu Yunfan, what he needs to do is not just to defeat Wang Tianba.

So, as soon as Chu Yunfan stepped onto the stage, he did something that stunned everyone.

"Your Honor, I request to engage in a life-or-death battle with Wang Tianba!"

Chu Yunfan's words startled even the referee, a Martial King, into breaking out in a cold sweat.

It should be noted that, as things stand, both Chu Yunfan and Wang Tianba are the dark horses of this inner sect competition and are the treasured disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect's inner sect.

The referee was also worried that something might happen to the two of them during the fight, which would then incur the displeasure of their respective sects.

Now, things have gotten out of hand. Chu Yunfan has actually brought up a life-or-death battle. No wonder the referee is scared half to death.

After hesitating for a moment, the referee came to his senses and said to Chu Yunfan:

"The rules of the Inner Sect Competition prohibit intentional killing."

Therefore, I cannot grant your request for a life-or-death battle!

Hearing the referee's answer, Chu Yunfan was not surprised, and immediately added:

"Your Honor, Wang Tianba and I had already engaged in a life-or-death battle before the Inner Sect Competition."

However, this life-or-death battle was left unresolved because Wang Tianba faked his death.

Logically speaking, once a life-or-death battle begins, it should be fought to the death; this is also a rule of the sect!

After speaking, Chu Yunfan looked at Wang Tianba.

Seeing this, Wang Tianba did not refute, but replied in a very certain tone:

"Your Honor, the facts are exactly as Chu Yunfan said."

The Law Enforcement Hall had already agreed to the life-or-death battle between him and me; the contract for this life-or-death battle is now in effect within the Law Enforcement Hall.

If Your Honor does not believe me, you may go to the Hall of Enforcement to check!

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee's face showed a mixture of surprise and confusion. He hadn't expected that Chu Yunfan and Wang Tianba had a long-standing feud.

However, this is not something that a mere referee like him can decide.

Left with no other option, the referee turned his attention to where the seven peak masters were located.

Just then, Li Wujiang, the peak master of Tianji Peak, and Wu Zongheng, the peak master of Yaoguang Peak, suddenly appeared on the competition stage.

Li Wujiang stared at Chu Yunfan and asked:

"Both of you are talents that the Qingyun Sword Sect has only seen once in a hundred years. The death of either of you would be a loss to the Qingyun Sword Sect."

"How about I step in and avert this life-or-death battle you've set out for?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan immediately replied:

"My Lord Peak Master, I have a blood feud with Wang Tianba."

One of us is destined to die. Even if you can stop us in this inner sect competition, you still won't be able to stop us in the future. I beg you, Peak Master, to grant my request!

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's answer, Li Wujiang's face immediately showed displeasure.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yunfan, as a disciple of Tianji Peak, refused to give him, the peak master, even the slightest bit of face.

At the same time, Wang Tianba, who was standing to the side, spoke up before Wu Zongheng could even speak:

"Chu Yunfan and I are sworn enemies, even if you can stop him this time, you can't stop him next time!"
