Chapter 40: Battle against Yan Zhe

"Crack!"

Immediately afterwards, a series of crisp cracking sounds were heard, clearly heard by everyone.

The next moment, Luo Yuan's hundreds of sword lights completely collapsed and were destroyed by Ji Chen's sword.

Not only that, after dissolving Luo Yuan's attack, Ji Chen's sword light did not weaken in power at all, and still carried an astonishing aura, continuing to approach the direction of Luo Yuan.

"not good!"

Luo Yuan's expression suddenly changed. The horror of this sword was beyond his expectations. Not only was it extremely powerful, but it was also as fast as lightning. In just a blink of an eye, it was approaching him.

"boom!"

The spiritual energy in his body was running wildly, pouring out continuously. In an instant, it condensed into a thick energy barrier around his body.

However, when the sword light fell, the energy barrier around him was unable to resist and was directly shattered by the sword.

"puff!"

The tremendous force knocked him flying. Luo Yuan's face turned extremely pale in an instant. He couldn't help coughing up blood and fell heavily to the ground in the distance.

"Concession."

Ji Chen put away his sword, glanced at the other party indifferently, then turned around and walked down the stage calmly.

"The winner is Ji Chen!"

As the referee's voice came, it resounded clearly throughout the entire stadium, and in an instant, cheers broke out in the audience seats around.

"Is this true? He actually defeated Luo Yuan!"

"That's a master at the fourth level of the Condensed Veins Realm! Am I dreaming?"

"Is that the Heaven-Severing Sword Technique? Ji Chen actually mastered such a high-level Yellow-rank martial art!"

Many people were shocked and found it unbelievable to the extreme.

"How can it be……"

Including Ji Yanran, everyone's face was full of disbelief.

With the cultivation level of the first level of the Condensing Veins Realm, he defeated an expert at the fourth level. Such an achievement was undoubtedly unexpected to everyone.

But Ji Chen really did it.

"The Ji family...really missed out on a top talent."

"If nothing unexpected happens to this boy, he will surely become famous throughout the Yun Nation in the future with his extraordinary sword skills!"

In the VIP seats, some powerful figures who came to watch could not help but exclaim in amazement.

But after hearing such words, Ji Xiaotian had no way to refute anything.

At this moment, he clenched his fists, frowned, and looked very ugly.

"I didn't expect him to be so powerful. I underestimated him before."

Somewhere in the crowd, a young and beautiful woman also narrowed her eyes and looked at Ji Chen.

It was Su Wanyue, the leader of the Moon Alliance.

Previously, she had wanted to win over Ji Chen and ask him to help her manage the Moon Alliance.

But now it seems that Ji Chen’s strength is not to be underestimated.

"If he wins one more game, he will be able to squeeze into the top 20 and be qualified to enter the inner gate."

Not far from Su Wanyue, a young man spoke like this.

His brows were like swords, emitting a sharp aura. He was Jian Wushuang, the master of the Sword Hall.

This is one of the most outstanding outer sects, known as the Ghost Sword.

It is said that over the years, no one in the outer sect has been able to withstand three blows from Jian Wushuang.

So much so that many people have no idea of his true strength.

"Although his cultivation is a little low, his swordsmanship is so extraordinary that it really aroused my interest. I wonder if I can meet him in the future?" Jian Wushuang said, with a hint of fighting spirit emerging in his eyes.

……

"Sister Yanran, if Ji Chen wins one more game, he will be able to squeeze into the top 20. Then he will join the inner gate, and it will be much more convenient for us to see him." Ji Xueruo said happily.

"Ah."

Ji Yanran nodded. Her face seemed expressionless, but in fact she was already shocked to the extreme.

There are a large number of participants in this competition, and there are at least dozens of people who have reached the fourth or fifth level of the Condensed Veins Realm.

However, Ji Chen was able to stand out in the competition with his cultivation level of the first level of the Condensing Veins Realm, and defeated powerful enemies one after another. Now he is about to qualify to join the inner sect.

Such a result was something Ji Yanran had never imagined before.

But even such a genius in swordsmanship has been despised and hated in their Ji family over the years.

He could only receive five spirit stones every month, and only obtained two low-level yellow-grade martial arts.

This kind of treatment is even worse than that of an ordinary servant!

Whenever she thought of these things, Ji Yanran couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

"In the next round, the winner will be ranked in the top 20 and become an inner sect disciple. The loser will fall into the resurrection match and have the chance to win another chance to enter the inner sect."

"The first match, Ji Chen..."

The referee held two signature cards in his hand. When Ji Chen's name was called out, the whole audience burst into cheers.

"Fight Yan Zhe!"

"What? It's Yan Zhe?"

When they heard these words, Lin Cai'er, Li Yang and others couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Yan Zhe? The leader of the Yan Clan, one of the three major outer sect forces?"

In the audience seats, the smile on Ji Xueruo's face froze and her brows furrowed slightly.

Obviously, she had also heard of the name Yan Zhe. This person's strength was not simple. He could call the wind and rain in the outer sect, and his cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Condensing Veins Realm!

"Interesting, I didn't expect that in Ji Chen's most crucial battle, he would encounter such a master!"

"I thought he would be able to make it into the top 20 in this competition, but now it seems..."

"That's Yan Zhe, one of the best in the outer sect. Ji Chen is so unlucky to meet him at this time!"

Many disciples in the field couldn't help but sigh and felt sorry for Ji Chen.

If his opponent was anyone other than Yan Zhe, Su Wanyue and Jian Wushuang, there would be a good chance that he could break into the top 20 this time.

However, he didn't expect that after the draw results came out, he would draw such a master.

"It looks like your good luck is about to come to an end."

On the stage, the two men stood opposite each other. Yan Zhe had a sneer on his face and glanced at Ji Chen.

He had been waiting for this moment.

"Don't worry, I won't let you lose so quickly. I want you to experience the feeling of being defeated. From now on, whenever you think of today's battle, it will become an unforgettable nightmare in your life." Yan Zhe's voice was cold, and his eyes were full of coldness.

Ji Chen stood calmly, looking into his eyes, and said calmly, "It is time to settle the previous accounts with you today."
