Chapter 3771 The Second Seal Is Broken

"Still quite resilient. Hurry up and throw down your sword, then kneel and surrender."

Leng Qingqiu's tenacity was beyond Li Qianying's expectations, and it also somewhat enraged her. She took another step forward.

Leng Qingqiu's body trembled violently. This time, blood began to seep from her nose, eyes, and mouth.

But she remained as tenacious as ever, showing no sign of giving up, her Lvxian Sword stubbornly pointing forward.

"Ye Dage, is Leng Qingqiu unable to hold on? Why don't we let her give up?"

Xiao Qing felt a bit of pity. She had been with Leng Qingqiu the longest, and their bond was the deepest.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. Normally, at this point, one should give up, but he didn't want to overly interfere with Leng Qingqiu's decision.

"No rush, let's wait and see."

He ultimately did not interfere. As long as Leng Qingqiu didn't die, he could heal even severe injuries, so there was no need to worry too much.

"Stubborn fool, let's see how long you can last!"

Li Qianying wore a cold smile and took another step forward.

Leng Qingqiu swayed again, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, her consciousness was already somewhat unclear, and her whole body was shaking violently, as if convulsing.

But in her mind, there was a voice: she was a Sword Immortal, she would never yield, and she would never put down her sword.

The essence of the First Sword Immortal's Legacy was never to yield, no matter how strong the opponent, one must unleash the sword in their hand.

Regardless of success or failure, life or death, what was needed was to advance bravely!

"I will not yield! Strike!"

Leng Qingqiu wanted to let out a loud roar, but the sound only echoed in her mind, and she spat out another mouthful of blood with a "wah."

"It's over. Why is she still holding on like this?"

"What's the point of holding on? It's destined not to change any outcome…"

"Losing is losing. Just give up. Why should a Disciple from a small Sect be so stubborn…?"

The surrounding crowd watched everything on the stage. In their eyes, this woman's persistence was completely useless, completely asking for trouble.

Li Qianying was even more so, standing there arrogantly, her eyes full of mockery, seemingly enjoying her opponent's death throes.

But just then, Leng Qingqiu's mind heard a crisp "crack," as if an eggshell was breaking, or something instantly shattered.

At the same time, a surge of violent power rose from her Dantian, breaking through her previous Bottleneck almost in the blink of an eye.

The First Sword Immortal's second Seal was finally completely broken at this moment, and Leng Qingqiu's cultivation stepped into the Immortal Lord Rank in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the originally dim Lvxian Sword shone brightly, and its sharp Sword Qi condensed into a tangible form.

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu's sword was finally raised, and it was incredibly fast and incredibly sharp.

A Sword Qi of about ten feet long, like an escaped Dragon, struck Li Qianying like lightning.

Her cultivation reaching the Immortal Lord Rank, although still one Rank lower than Li Qianying's Immortal Lord Middle Stage, this gap could be offset by her powerful Sword Intent and broken through in one fell swoop.

This scene was beyond everyone's expectations. No one had imagined that this woman, who was already on the verge of collapse, would suddenly become so powerful.

Even Wu Huo Daojun on the viewing platform narrowed his pupils: "Little girl, amazing! She actually broke through at this moment!"

Li Qianying had originally thought the situation was settled, and all of this caught her completely off guard.

Facing that earth-shattering sword, she didn't even have a chance to dodge. The Sword Qi directly pierced through her right chest, leaving a bowl-sized blood hole.

And she herself was struck and sent flying dozens of feet, falling heavily below the arena.

Just moments ago, she was incredibly arrogant, unilaterally suppressing her opponent, but now she was cut down on the spot with one sword. The disparity was immense.

Silence, a deathly silence!

Everyone in the training ground was dumbfounded. This reversal came too suddenly; no one had expected such a result.

Just then, a deafening thunderclap came from mid-air. Dark clouds gathered, and thunder rolled. It was the Heavenly Tribulation descending.

Leng Qingqiu won with one sword, then did not linger. She soared into the air and flew towards outside Yuangu City.

Ye Bufan waved his hand. Xiao Qing, Luo Bingyan, and Shen Qiyun followed closely behind to act as Protectors for her Undergoing Tribulation outside.

Only at this moment did the crowd recover from their shock. Wu Huo Daojun announced the result of the match: Leng Qingqiu won.

The other three matches had also ended, completing the fourth round of the competition.

Next came the fifth round, and the participating Disciples ascended the stage one after another.

Among these people, the most eye-catching were Ye Bufan and Jian Juebi.

Jian Juebi was a Core Disciple of the Four Directions Sword Sect. Coincidentally, in this round, he drew Qin Muyue, whose Dantian was damaged, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

On the other side, Ye Bufan became another focal point.

The reason was simple: the Lingyun Sword Sect had now completely refreshed everyone's perception, transforming from an unknown small Sect to one that attracted widespread attention.

After this round of the grand competition, only twenty-five out of fifty participating Disciples could remain. So far, the Lingyun Sword Sect had successfully advanced four people, a result that was enough to make them stand out among all major Sects.

It was precisely because of this that many people's attention was focused on this sole male Disciple of the Lingyun Sword Sect, wanting to see how strong he truly was and if he would be as astonishing as Leng Qingqiu and the others.

Unfortunately, the result disappointed everyone. As soon as Ye Bufan jumped onto the arena, Xu Shengye, who stood opposite him, bowed respectfully.

"Young Master Ye, I thank you here."

He was an extremely intelligent person. Although he hadn't seen Ye Bufan make a move, the entire Lingyun Sword Sect was led by this man, so his strength would naturally not be poor.

Even Immortal Lord Rank powerhouses were beaten to tears, some dead, some injured. How could he, a Great Luo Immortal, have the courage to make a move?

So this guy was extremely straightforward. He first bowed, then turned to look at the viewing platform.

"Esteemed Elders, I concede this match."

After speaking, he leaped down from the arena.

"This…"

Everyone present had been eagerly watching, but they didn't expect such a result.

"Oh my goodness, is this guy for real? He actually conceded on the spot…"

"It infuriates me! Just now, Leng Qingqiu preferred death to surrender, but this guy doesn't even have the courage to make a move…"

"What a pity! I still haven't seen this Ye fellow make a move…"

The crowd erupted in a frenzy, some shocked, some angry, some regretful.

But then everyone realized a problem: Ye Bufan had advanced.

"This guy's luck is too good! He hasn't even moved a finger so far…"

"He can advance three Ranks just by standing on the arena, already going from a hundred people to twenty-five. It's truly infuriating…"

"Oh my goodness, if I could advance like that, I'd do it too…"

At this moment, everyone's criticism was directed at Ye Bufan. From the group stage until now, he hadn't made a single move, yet he had advanced.

Meanwhile, other Disciples had fought hard, some were severely injured, some even lost their Physical Body, and ultimately still ended up being eliminated. Compared to him, it was truly infuriating to see how some people fared better than others.

Wu Huo Daojun, however, didn't care about that much. He acted according to the competition rules and immediately announced the result.

As Ye Bufan was about to step down, a cold snort came from beside him.

"Brat, you really got lucky. I hope you don't run into me in the next match, or I'll make sure you die!" He turned his head and saw that it was Jian Juebi from the adjacent arena who had spoken.
