Chapter 78 A sword coming from the west
With a loud bang, the sky seemed to be torn apart. The long sword in Shangguan Jiannan's hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, pointing straight to the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar. The surrounding air was instantly swallowed up by a cold and mysterious energy, which made all the warriors present dumbfounded.
"This... this sword technique is so terrifying!"
"Could it be that a sword immortal has really descended? But this power is beyond human power!"
Exclamations came one after another, and the disciples' faces were full of disbelief.
The earth-shattering explosion seemed to engulf the entire world. It lasted for a long time before gradually subsiding, but the remaining chill in the air still made people shudder.
Shangguan Jiannan, at this moment, was like a god of war walking out of an icy abyss, breathing heavily, his face as pale as paper, it was obvious that the attack had exhausted all of his Xuanyin spiritual energy.
He stood there, his body swaying, but with an unyielding light in his eyes.
At this moment, in the distance, a figure fell to the ground with a bang. It was the arrogant Guo Haoyang before.
His clothes were tattered and charred, and he lay motionless on the ground, obviously having lost his fighting ability.
This scene shocked everyone present.
"He...he actually won!"
"It's incredible that Shangguan Jiannan actually defeated Guo Haoyang!"
The disciples were talking one after another, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Shangguan Jiannan.
Although Shangguan Jiannan's body had reached its limit, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Finally... I won."
He whispered to himself, feeling both the joy of victory and fear of the power of the previous attack.
He originally planned to use the Dark Night Sword to directly attack Guo Haoyang's soul, but in mid-air he suddenly had an idea and incorporated the "Tianxuan Sword Technique" into it.
When the two swords were combined into one, their power doubled, something even he himself had not expected.
"This... is also a killer move."
Shangguan Jiannan thought to himself, "But I must be more cautious when using it next time."
As the disordered breath in his body gradually subsided, Shangguan Jiannan slowly stood up straight.
His eyes became more determined, as if after this battle, he had become more mature and powerful.
In the inner courtyard, the situation became chaotic again because of his battle, and his name resounded through the sky once again.
Shangguan Jiannan felt a surge of fear in his heart.
He knew very well that although the fusion of the two sets of sword techniques could unleash astonishing power, the energy and internal strength consumed were also enormous. This move could only be used as a last resort and should not be used lightly unless in desperate situations.
The staggering consumption was hard for even him to bear, and he could not help but stand there in a daze for a long time. Only after the depressed air in his chest was completely relieved did he slowly start to practice the "Night Shadowless Heart Method", and a somewhat spiritual aura emanated from his body.
After a brief silence, the crowd around him suddenly burst into deafening cheers, drowning him like a tide.
Shangguan Jiannan challenged Guo Haoyang and won! This news spread quickly in the inner courtyard, and his name once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
A few days later, this victory not only helped Shangguan Jiannan secure his 14th place, but also sparked countless discussions.
Some people even gave him a resounding nickname based on his battle with Guo Haoyang - "Flying Fairy from the Sky".
A sword came from the west, a fairy from the sky, this name quickly spread in the inner courtyard and became synonymous with Shangguan Jiannan.
Although he is currently ranked only fourteenth, people believe that with time, he will rise again and even have the hope of becoming one of the core disciples of the inner courtyard.
As the battle in the netherworld draws closer, the inner courtyard is in turmoil and talented people emerge in large numbers.
Although Shangguan Jiannan's Fire Sword has a place among them, it is just one of the many shining stars.
The once-in-three-years battle in the Netherworld has inspired the sect's disciples' infinite fighting spirit. They have launched challenges one after another, and the Tianjian Sect's elite list has become more cruel and intense.
New talents emerge every day, while former greats fade into obscurity.
However, Shangguan Jiannan seemed relatively calm in the midst of this ever-changing situation.
As his ranking had reached 14th, there were fewer challengers and he was able to enjoy a moment of peace and leisure.
In the hall, he gathered with a group of friends, laughing a lot and the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful.
Although Jiang Feng failed to make his name on the elite list, he has been promoted to an inner disciple and also shares this joy and peace.
Deep in the spacious and magnificent hall, Jiang Feng, Shidong, Jiang Ruyue and other close friends sat together, talking and laughing.
Shangguan Jiannan was in a particularly good mood, with a warm smile on his lips. He raised his glass and shouted with great enthusiasm: "Everyone, let's drink this together!" Before he finished speaking, everyone responded, clinking their glasses, laughing and talking, their joy was beyond words.
