Li Mubai stepped onto the ring full of fighting spirit, while Chen Yongliang flew onto the ring.

As Li Mubai approached step by step, Chen Yongliang raised his twin swords and slit his own throat from a distance.

Threat, naked threat.

Killing intent, undisguised killing intent.

In the battle between the Void Spirit Realm and the Dragon Transformation Realm, Li Mubai was already at a disadvantage in terms of realm.

This battle is worrying.

"Haha, Chen Yongliang was second on the academy's combat power ranking five years ago, and Li Mubai is second on the current combat power ranking. It's interesting to see the two second-place contenders fighting."

"What's the point? Chen Yongliang broke through to the Dragon Shaping Realm three months ago, while Li Mubai is only at the Void Spirit Realm. Anyone with eyes can see that Li Mubai is destined to lose."

"Your Guangxiang Kingdom is really interesting. The Dragon Transformation Realm is the Dragon Transformation Realm. Why do you always call it the Dragon Shaping Mirror?"

"What we shout is none of your business, you demon from the Scorpion Kingdom."

Li Mubai is the son of a merchant whose parents are wealthy but powerless. He doesn't curry favor with Crown Prince Lu Yan or Second Prince Lu Cilin, but instead chooses to be loyal to Zheng Qian.

Therefore, he was targeted by Lu Yan, who arranged for Chen Yongliang, who was at the Dragon Transformation Realm, to deal with him.

It's interesting when the second-in-command faces off against the second-in-command, and the new second-in-command gets beaten by the old second-in-command.

"Kneel down and surrender, or die."

Chen Yongliang was of average appearance. He was the son of a fifth-rank official, an official who observed the weather. He had no way to make money and was considered poor compared to other young masters.

Even without Lu Yan's order, he would still kill Li Mubai, who came from a wealthy merchant family but had a weak family background.

It's nothing more than resentment towards the rich.

Li Mubai, dressed in pristine white, held a long sword in his hand, his eyes clear and profound.

"I only know that the brave are invincible, I don't know what surrender means."

Before the match even started, the two were already locked in a fierce battle, each eager to eliminate the other and advance smoothly.

Clang...

The referee struck the gong and shouted loudly.

"start."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Li Mubai's figure blurred, appearing in front of Chen Yongliang like a ghost. His longsword transformed into a silver streak, aiming straight for the opponent's throat.

Chen Yongliang reacted with lightning speed, his twin blades transforming into two afterimages as they clashed fiercely with the sword light, producing a deafening roar.

The battle instantly intensified, with sword light and blade shadows clashing on the arena, each clash causing the space to tremble.

"Impressive. Although Li Mubai is only at the Void Spirit Realm, he can fight Chen Yongliang, who is at the Dragon Transformation Realm, to a standstill. He can be considered a monstrous talent."

“Li Mubai cultivates the King-level technique ‘Sword Heart Clarity’, while Chen Yongliang only has the Profound-level technique, giving him an innate advantage in technique.”

Even with an inherent advantage, one can still lose, after all, Chen Yongliang can fly, while Li Mubai cannot.

Chen Yongliang also discovered his disadvantage in his cultivation technique. Although he was a level higher than Li Mubai, his spiritual energy and strength were comparable to Li Mubai's.

Even if you have money to buy advanced cultivation techniques, you'll still die.

Chen Yongliang flew into the sky, and his attack speed increased.

He cultivates with dual swords, and flying wouldn't give him much of an advantage in the sky; it would only consume more spiritual energy. So, he chose to use his diving advantage to clash head-on with Li Mubai.

Li Mu Bai stood his ground, his Lingxiao Sword containing an array that could amplify the release of spiritual energy.

If the fighting continues, Chen Yongliang will definitely be the first to run out of spiritual energy.

"Whirlwind."

Chen Yongliang roared and flew into the sky, wielding his twin swords in a hurricane-like motion. Countless sword shadows slashed out from within the hurricane, enveloping Li Mubai below.

Li Mubai raised his head, his handsome face calm and indifferent, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Tian Jie, my fiancée, once I make it into the top ten, I'll come to hell to see you and we'll get married.

When Tian Jie disappeared, he guessed a bit of the truth: she had been captured and was dead.

"A sword heart shines alone."

Li Mubai roared, and a sword light condensed in the sky, instantly rushing towards Chen Yongliang.

The sword light tore through Chen Yongliang's hurricane and struck him, slowing his movements.

Right now, in his sword-heart state, Li Mubai seized the opportunity and cleaved the still-ordinary broadsword in two with a single strike.

The sword continued its momentum, severing Chen Yongliang's right hand.

Before Chen Yongliang could feel the pain, the large knife in his left hand continued to slide upwards.

shuh...

Li Mubai's left arm flew into the air and landed on the arena.

Zheng Qian crushed the chair handle with one blow. Li Mubai was an upright and honest man, known as the Gentleman Sword, and had no grudge against Chen Yongliang.

Chen Yongliang made a throat-slitting gesture towards Li Mubai as soon as he entered the stage, which was clearly arranged by Lu Yan.

Lu Yan, you will pay for Li Mubai's severed hand with your life.

No matter how much Lu Yan targeted Zheng Qian, he never thought of killing Lu Yan, because he always believed that he was just a passerby in Guangxiang Kingdom and would leave after the Gathering of Heroes.

At this moment, Zheng Qian harbored murderous intent towards Lu Yan.

If you mess with my brother, you're dead.

Fan Tielan covered her mouth, tears glistening in her eyes.

Li Mubai was his best friend, and he lost an arm.

My best friend Tian Jie returned from her Taoist studies and saw that Li Mu Bai had lost an arm. How should I tell her that she didn't take good care of Li Mu Bai for her?

Mo Li's eyes were icy cold. In an instant, she realized that Chen Yongliang was sent by Lu Yan to kill Li Mubai.

Because of me?

Mo Li felt guilty; perhaps this was Lu Yan's warning to her.

The student who killed me warned me, "Lu Yan, you're being far too cruel."

Mo Li had previously thought that Lu Yan would let her go, and was quite grateful to him. Now, she realized how naive she had been.

Mo Li's state of mind matured instantly at this moment.

She saw the ugly side of humanity.

Lu Yan was very satisfied with Chen Yongliang's bravery. He wanted to kill Li Mubai not only to seize a spot in the finals, but also to tell everyone that getting close to Zheng Qian would lead to death.

Of course, giving Mo Li a warning was also part of his idea.

He applauded his plan for killing three birds with one stone.

Chen Yongliang lost his right hand, and Li Mubai had his left arm severed; both were seriously injured.

In terms of the severity of the injuries, Li Mubai's injuries were more serious.

Li Mubai took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, and just when everyone thought he was going to treat his severed arm, he simply threw it to Chen Yongliang.

"Stop the bleeding, continue."

Li Mubai, the Gentleman Swordsman, truly deserves the title of "gentleman".

Chen Yongliang took the bottle, his hatred growing even stronger.

Why do you have such good medicine and I don't?

bang...

Chen Yongliang crushed the bottle with a shove, his face full of disdain.

"I never use medicine in battle."

One person lost a hand, and the other lost an arm; both were seriously injured, yet neither stopped the bleeding or received treatment.

That's just how men are.

"That was so exciting! Their fight was absolutely amazing."

"Chen Yongliang and Li Mubai are indeed two second-in-commands; when they fight, they're incredibly reckless."

"Chen Yongliang only lost his hand, but Li Mubai lost his arm. Li Mubai is going to lose this match."

Both were powerful cultivators at the Dragon Shaping Realm, with robust bodies and exceptional healing abilities. The wounds on their severed arms were healing automatically, and the bleeding was beginning to decrease.

Just as everyone was having a lively discussion, Chen Yongliang's cold eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared fiercely at Li Mubai.

"Next move, I'll take your life."
