When Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, Liu Qingi, Mo Beiling, and Fang Luohan, the five of them, flew together, the eyes of all martial artists and sword cultivators both outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley and eliminated within the Sword River, converged upon them.
At this ti, these five were the last remaining top five contenders who had yet to be defeated in the Void Heaven Sword Ranking.
In the Void Heaven Sword Ranking, Fang Luohan was ranked fifth. After capturing the Void Heaven Sword Qi from other sword cultivators, the amount of Void Heaven Sword Qi on him had reached over eighty million strands.
Liu Qingi was ranked fourth, and the quantity of her Void Heaven Sword Qi also exceeded one hundred million strands, reaching over one hundred and thirty million.
Mo Beiling, surpassing both Fang Luohan and Liu Qingi, was ranked third. The sphere of Void Heaven Sword Qi around him had condensed a staggering amount of over one hundred and eighty million strands, incredibly astonishing.
Whether it was Fang Luohan, Liu Qingi or Mo Beiling, just the quantity of their Void Heaven Sword Qi alone was already unbelievable. However, when the final five stood together, all eyes beca even more focused on the other two, especially on Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.
Because Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, who had defeated the highest number of sword cultivators, had quantities of Void Heaven Sword Qi that far exceeded the combined total of the other three.
Each of Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had over five hundred million strands of Void Heaven Sword Qi surrounding them!
Over five hundred million strands.
This simply signified that almost the majority of the Void Heaven Sword Qi from all participating Spirit Sea Realm sword cultivators in the cultivation conference had gathered upon these two individuals!
Liu Qingi had been by Jiang Yao's side all along and had grown accustod to her astonishing Void Heaven Sword Qi.
However, when Fang Luohan and Mo Beiling flew beside Ye Chen and Jiang Yao and witnessed the towering sphere of Void Heaven Sword Qi that spiraled thousands of feet high around them, they were rendered speechless in utter shock in comparison to their own.
Although through the Void Heaven Sword Ranking, they already knew the quantity of Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's Void Heaven Sword Qi, witnessing the scene of this spiraling sphere that soared thousands of feet high still left them deeply astonished.
"Jiang Yao,"
Ye Chen didn't bother with the two shocked individuals. After the five gathered together, he approached Jiang Yao directly.
Observing the sphere of Void Heaven Sword Qi around the girl that resembled his own, Ye Chen nodded with a smile.
Jiang Yao also returned a gentle smile and extended her hand to take hold of Ye Chen's palm.
The three days of the Sword Fighting Conference, just from the amount of Void Heaven Sword Qi congealed around the two of them, it was evident that they had gained trendously.
"Ye Chen," Liu Qingi also looked at Ye Chen's surrounding Void Heaven Sword Qi with a smile.
"Now that only the final five remain, how do you plan to proceed with the last battles?" Liu Qingi asked Ye Chen.
"The final battles?"
Ye Chen's eyes moved past Liu Qingi, landing on Fang Luohan and Mo Beiling.
In these three days, Ye Chen had defeated thousands of sword cultivators. He had learned hundreds, if not thousands, of fencing techniques, which greatly enhanced his knowledge.
Not to ntion the more than five hundred million strands of Void Heaven Sword Qi he had amassed, as well as Ye Chen's mastery of "Xu Tian Wu Ji Tu" and his insight into the newly cultivated five Law Sword Seeds during combat.
It could be said that Ye Chen was now completely satisfied with his gains from the cultivation conference.
Ye Chen was looking forward to the end of the three-day period, when he could convert the surrounding Void Heaven Sword Qi into True Qi and make a breakthrough towards a higher realm to see just how far he could go.
As for Fang Luohan and Mo Beiling in front of him, he didn't feel compelled to defeat them necessarily.
After all, among the remaining five, Ye Chen obviously would not engage with Jiang Yao to take her Void Heaven Sword Qi. Furthermore, Liu Qingi had helped him and Jiang Yao in the square earlier, so Ye Chen wouldn't choose to battle Liu Qingi either.
So whether or not to engage Fang Luohan and Mo Beiling in battle was of no significant consequence.
"I'm quite content with what I've achieved so far. Whether or not to fight in the last battles is not an issue for ," said Ye Chen with a smile. While speaking, he turned to look at Mo Beiling and Fang Luohan, "Of course, if soone wishes to fight with , I won't refuse."
Jiang Yao, standing beside Ye Chen, also nodded with a smile, "My thoughts are the sa as Ye Chen's."
Both had already been selected to join the Heavenly Sacred Palace, so they did not have to worry about the reward of joining the Heavenly Sacred Palace for being the first on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking. Furthermore, with their significant gains from the event, they naturally would not deliberately compete for that last bit of Void Heaven Sword Qi anymore.
"What about the two of you?" Liu Qingi turned to Mo Beiling and Fang Luohan and asked.
Fang Luohan was taken aback. He had long witnessed Jiang Yao's tactics and certainly knew he couldn't beat her. If Jiang Yao truly sought to defeat him, he would definitely be eliminated.
Relieved upon hearing that Jiang Yao no longer had the intention to actively fight, Fang Luohan sighed in relief and said with a smile, "I do not have the strength to vie for the first spot on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking. Whether I fight or not, it won't affect the overall outco. If neither Ye Chen nor Jiang Yao co after my Void Heaven Sword Qi, I would count myself lucky. I certainly won't be the one to initiate a challenge."
Fang Luohan expressed his stance. However, Mo Beiling next to him was struggling with his decision.
The reason for his struggle was that Mo Beiling still harbored the thought of vying for the first place on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking.
After all, the first place on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking ant one could join the Heavenly Sacred Palace and beco a disciple!
Ye Chen and Jiang Yao might not care about this reward, but it was of utmost importance to Mo Beiling. After all, joining the Heavenly Sacred Palace would be of great help to his future cultivation, far more so than practicing in a third-tier Sword Sect!
But Mo Beiling was afraid, afraid of losing to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao. After all, to vie for the first spot on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking, he had to defeat at least one of them.
Mo Beiling had heard that Jiang Yao had defeated Lu Xiaojia, who controlled the Law Sword Seed; he did not believe he had much chance of defeating her either.
As for Ye Chen, although he had not witnessed Ye Chen's skills, the fact that Ye Chen still ranked first and had acquired over five hundred million strands of Void Heaven Sword Qi ant he certainly had so tricks up his sleeve — sothing Mo Beiling refused to believe otherwise.
Facing such opponents, Mo Beiling was, of course, afraid of losing.
On one hand, there was the temptation of the opportunity to join the Heavenly Sacred Palace by obtaining the first spot on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking; on the other, there was the fear of defeat.
Mo Beiling struggled imnsely.
In the end, the temptation overca his fear.
"I'll gamble. If I lose the challenge, I'll only have lost these strands of Void Heaven Sword Qi— even without them, I'll still succeed in the Rotating Pill breakthrough in the future. But if I win, I get to seize even more Void Heaven Sword Qi, perhaps even winning the slot to enter the Heavenly Sacred Palace."
"I know the power of my Law Sword Seed. A battle with Jiang Yao might not be entirely out of the question, and as for Ye Chen, I'm surely able to fight him. He's only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm; maybe he hasn't faced many strong opponents in the mid-stage and early-stage Spirit Sea Realm of the Sword Fighting Area."
"I must fight, I must strive to claim the first place on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking!"
Once Mo Beiling had made up his mind, he looked up at the remaining four people: "The sword fighting tournant isn't over until the very last mont, and the rankings aren't finalized. I... I still want to fight, to continue striving for the top of the Void Heaven Sword Ranking!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As he spoke, he waved his arm, and over a thousand swords burst forth from him, embedding themselves into the ground.
"These are the weapons of the Sword Cultivators I've defeated. Whether they remain in my hands in the end depends on the outco of the battles to co," Mo Beiling said while looking directly at Fang Luohan, "Fang, I lost to you in the competition among the four third-tier Sword Sects. For my first challenge, I chose you."
Instead of challenging Ye Chen or Jiang Yao first, Mo Beiling initiated a challenge towards Fang Luohan.
Fang Luohan had not expected Mo Beiling to dare to make a play for the first spot on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking at the last mont, let alone challenge him first.
"Back then, I lost to him, and I've heard he's been in seclusion contemplating swordsmanship in the past few years. Could it be that he has made so gains?" Fang Luohan pondered.
However, Fang Luohan responded to the challenge without hesitation: "If Brother Mo wishes to fight , I certainly won't refuse."
At this final mont of the sword fighting tournant, facing a challenge invoked the pride of a Sword Cultivator—one should not, and would not, refuse.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After accepting the challenge, Fang Luohan and Mo Beiling flew directly into the sky, standing opposite each other.
"I thought this sword fighting tournant wouldn't see any more action after Ye Chen and Sister Jiang Yao refrained from fighting. It seems so are still not satisfied and want to battle," Liu Qingi said with a slight smile, raising her head to look at Fang Luohan and Mo Beiling.
Ye Chen and Jiang Yao also smiled and shook their heads, then flew aside to watch the battle between the two.
