Chapter 140 Ambush
The wind, mixed with sarcastic words, gently brushed past Shangguan Jiannan's ears.
Then, a green figure suddenly appeared, and with a sudden shock, the sharp sword light that originally enveloped Shangguan Jiannan instantly dissipated.
When this person appeared, everyone's attention was on him. His face was cold and his eyes were indifferent, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Powerful aura surged out and pressed directly towards Wang Feng and others in the distance.
Seeing this, Wang Feng looked solemn and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"Broken water flow, Liu Qingshan."
He muttered to himself, recognizing that the other party was the strongest man in Liuyun Sword Sect second only to the Sect Master.
"The second most skilled master of Liuyun Sword Sect..." Wang Feng sighed in his heart, his tone heavy and his eyes full of unwillingness.
Liu Qingshan was wearing a green shirt and holding a long sword. The sword was emitting a faint green light, like flowing water, emitting a heart-pounding aura that instantly filled the entire space and the atmosphere suddenly changed.
"How can we allow the people of Liuyun Sword Sect to get involved with you, the Lieyan Sword Sect, especially Nangong Yue."
Liu Qingshan snorted coldly, and before he finished his words, sword shadows rose up in the sky.
"Break the Water Flow!" These four short words echoed in the vast space, and Liu Qingshan's figure became blurred, like a phantom.
"Retreat!" Wang Feng felt Liu Qingshan's approaching breath and retreated immediately without any hesitation.
The power of that attack had left him with lingering fears, and facing Liu Qingshan, he could not muster the slightest thought of resisting.
The dozen or so people behind Wang Feng were originally in high spirits, but under the powerful pressure of Liu Qingshan, they instantly collapsed and turned around and ran away, fleeing this deadly battlefield.
"Hmph, you're dreaming of escaping?" Liu Qingshan had a blank expression on his face and ignored the fleeing crowd.
In an instant, he snorted coldly again, and Liu Qingshan suddenly stepped on the ground, increasing his speed and rushing forward.
"Liu Shui Mang!" As he shouted softly, the sword flashed, and countless powerful auras burst out. A water dragon over ten feet long rose into the sky and rushed away like a dragon out of the sea.
Although the members of the Fiery Sword Sect tried their best to flee, they could not escape its force.
The water dragon tore through the void and swept towards them with a deafening roar.
The water dragon hit the target, and the water swords scattered everywhere. Explosions occurred one after another in the crowd, and the disciples of the Flame Sword Sect exclaimed in surprise.
Suddenly, a sword flashed through the crowd, and Wang Feng retreated in panic. Faced with Liu Qingshan's power, he had no choice but to escape.
But the irresistible force still hit his sword, knocking him away. He fell heavily to the ground, his face purple and blue, groaning in pain.
Liu Qingshan's figure was as fast as lightning and he arrived in a flash. None of the other disciples escaped.
In a moment, more than ten people from the Fiery Sword Sect fell to the ground groaning. Wang Feng also had difficulty breathing and his face turned ashen.
Liu Qingshan stood with a sword in his hand, exhaled lightly, and looked at his fallen opponent.
He walked forward slowly and took the Yuanling Stones from them one by one, unable to hide the joy on his face.
"What a great harvest!" He put away the colorful spirit stones with satisfaction.
Wang Feng and others looked ashen and extremely desperate.
When all the spirit stones were taken away, the contest came to an end.
Liu Qingshan walked leisurely, ignoring Wang Feng and others.
Shangguan Jiannan stood still, his face pale, his breathing disordered, and his chest churning.
Liu Qingshan carried a long sword on his back. When he passed by Shangguan Jiannan, he whispered: "Remember, not everyone can be a hero and save the beauty."
Shangguan Jiannan's heart trembled and he stared at Liu Qingshan, but Liu Qingshan looked disdainful and ignored him.
"No need to thank me. I saved you because you protected Nangong Yue."
Liu Qingshan spoke calmly, then waved his hand, indicating that he would not pursue the matter against the people from the Tianjian Sect.
With light steps, he walked towards Nangong Yue, whispered a few words, and then the people from Liuyun Sword Sect set off.
Shangguan Jiannan saw Nangong Yue looking back with a complicated look in her eyes.
He took a deep breath and looked at Liuyun Sword Sect's receding figure with a gloomy expression.
"We're going too."
He spoke briefly to Chu Qingxuan and the others, and only cast an indifferent glance at the people from the Fiery Sword Sect.
Everyone in the Tianjian Sect was quite dissatisfied with Liu Qingshan's attitude and glared at each other. It was not until Shangguan Jiannan spoke that they came to their senses.
The battlefield of the underworld is vast and boundless, with people moving around and battles happening frequently.
This place is the core of the decisive battle and is extremely chaotic.
The confrontation between Liu Qingshan and the disciples of the Fiery Sword Sect was only a small ripple in this chaos.
In the distance, the roar of battle continued and intensified.
Shangguan Jiannan and his group of seven had no choice but to move forward cautiously and avoid large-scale conflicts in this place full of powerful people.
The Yuanling Stone in his hand glowed faintly. Although there were many disciples of the Tianjian Sect around him, they had not met each other because the square was so vast.
In this battlefield where chaos and opportunities coexist, they can only move forward step by step and find their own way to survive.
In the distance, the Lingtai Hall was shining brightly, quiet and solemn, and the ancient atmosphere surged, covering the entire square.
There is the end point of the decisive battle and also the place where the rankings of each sect are announced.
The border of the vast Taoist Palace Square is difficult to find. The deep part is shrouded in a veil-like mist, and the line of sight is only a few dozen feet away. Further away, the Lingtai Palace is suspended in the air, shining brightly and dazzlingly.
Amid the interweaving of light and shadow, subtle sounds can be faintly heard.
Shangguan Jiannan, Chu Qingxuan and seven others, holding Yuanling Stones, moved forward steadily, communicating with each other: "Gather more disciples, and the chances of winning will increase greatly."
"With unity, the collection of Yuanling Stones will be quick."
The other disciples also discussed in low voices, moving cautiously and not daring to slack off.
Shangguan Jiannan was particularly vigilant and took every step carefully, knowing full well that there were dangers hidden in the fog.
Suddenly, there were several explosions not far away. Everyone immediately became alert and looked around. They only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was safe.
After several hours of exploration, the team gradually grew larger, with purple robes fluttering like purple flames, and finally gathered into an elite team of fifteen people, all of whom were inner disciples with strong strength.
The leadership was transferred from Shangguan Jiannan to a burly disciple who was ranked eighth.
Although Shangguan Jiannan is one of the new forty-six strongest members of the Tianjian Sect, it is difficult for him to convince the others in this place where there are so many masters.
The new team leader gave an order: "Brothers, follow me and charge!" Shangguan Jiannan followed easily and became a solid backing.
The Tianjian Sect vowed to take the top five.
Wang Wu, a burly man with a voice like thunder and a strong temper, is good at using a long sword and is known as "the Crazy Slasher".
At this moment, he was holding a huge blade with a cold glow, leading more than ten people and marching quickly. The team behind him followed closely, and their emotions were ignited by his loud voice.
In the fog, purple shadows shuttled back and forth, and the number of people gradually increased. There was no need to hide anymore.
Wang Wu led the way, and everyone was brave and unstoppable, and they had no rivals, and they reaped a lot of rewards along the way.
When they arrived at the square, everyone had Yuanling Stones on their waists, and some teams even returned with full loads. The Tianjian Sect disciples were delighted, as such results were beyond their expectations.
As we walked, the air was filled with spiritual energy and the fog became thicker.
Despite the good results, everyone still moved forward cautiously.
The surroundings were quiet and the atmosphere was eerie. Everyone looked solemn and looked around, not daring to slack off.
"Sword power, kill wildly!" Suddenly, cold words came through the fog.
Before he could react, several meters long rays of light suddenly appeared on the right, and a terrifying aura came towards him.
