Chapter 1278 The Confirmation of the Champion

"I never imagined that I, Jian Hanxing, would one day become someone else's pushover?"

Jian Hanxing gripped his longsword tightly, a bitter feeling rising in his heart. Then, his eyes sharpened as he scanned his surroundings, awaiting his next opponent.

Even if he is seen as an easy target, he will use his sword to show everyone that defeating him and becoming the new champion is not so easy!

"Who's coming? Stop dawdling and wasting time!"

Jian Hanxing roared down, urging everyone to come up and fight him.

While many were still hesitating and weighing their options, a cold voice rang out from the crowd: "I'll do it!"

The sound caused many people to turn their heads to look.

When everyone realized who had said those words, they all looked surprised.

Because this person is none other than Xiao Jianchen, who performed amazingly in the previous chaotic battle!

At this moment, Xiao Jianchen was also dressed in white, holding a long sword, and exuding a sharp sword aura, forcing everyone to automatically make way for him.

Jian Hanxing, Xiao Jianchen!

Both of them were dressed in white, and both were powerful sword practitioners!

Their clash was like the battle of two sharp swords!

Everyone's eyes lit up, realizing that what was about to be a very exciting kendo match!

When Jian Hanxing saw that it was Xiao Jianchen who wanted to challenge him, he also revealed a strong fighting spirit. His whole body seemed to turn into a sharp sword, confronting Xiao Jianchen head-on!

On the other two sides, Shi Kai, the young master of the Xuanjing Clan, also stepped onto the arena to confront one of the arena champions.

Mu Wanling, the Holy Maiden of the Qingmu Holy Clan, has also stepped onto the third arena and is about to begin her challenge!

All three arenas have welcomed new challengers, which has made everyone extremely excited!

Without a doubt, these three matches are all battles between top-tier geniuses, and their excitement is probably no less than that of the battle between Wuchen and Xiang Guanhong just now!

Xiao Jianchen didn't say much. His figure transformed into a blur as he rushed straight to the arena. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, landing on the arena like a feather.

The two stood facing each other. Sword intent surged between them, and the invisible auras collided, producing a series of subtle explosions.

"Draw your sword!" Jian Hanxing shouted in a low voice.

Xiao Jianchen lightly raised his longsword, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground. He did not launch a preemptive attack, but the sword energy around him grew increasingly fierce.

Jian Hanxing waited no longer. The long sword in his hand emitted a clear and melodious sword sound. He moved with the sword, and a streak of sword light shot straight at Xiao Jianchen's face.

The sword light was as fast as lightning, carrying a chilling aura, as if it could freeze the space itself.

Xiao Jianchen remained motionless. He only moved when the sword light was almost upon him.

His sword was strangely slow, yet incredibly fast.

Clang! With a crisp sound, the two longswords clashed in mid-air.

Jian Hanxing felt an immense force coming from the sword, which made his hands go numb.

He swayed slightly and took a half step back.

Xiao Jianchen's sword tip never deviated even by an inch.

His eyes were cold, and his swordplay was simple and unadorned, yet it contained the sharp edge of the ultimate truth.

"Again!" Jian Hanxing roared.

His immortal power erupted, and sword light cascaded down like a waterfall. He unleashed the ultimate sword technique of the Sword Sect, creating a dense layer of sword shadows that completely enveloped Xiao Jianchen. Each sword shadow contained immense killing intent.

Xiao Jianchen's sword was like a faint light in the abyss. He moved through the shadows of the sword, dodging attacks at the last second with incredible angles and counterattacking.

His sword techniques were few, but each move precisely targeted Jian Hanxing's weaknesses.

On the arena, the clang of metal against metal was deafening!

The sword energy crisscrossed, cutting countless tiny marks into the already damaged arena once again.

Jian Hanxing grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. Xiao Jianchen's sword seemed to be able to see through all his moves, and his sword intent was like ten thousand years of ice, chilling him to the bone.

"Break!" Xiao Jianchen shouted softly. He thrust out his long sword suddenly, and a sword beam of extreme refinement streaked through the void like a meteor.

Jian Hanxing's pupils contracted; he sensed the deadly intent contained within this sword strike. He had no choice but to parry with his sword.

boom!

A huge roar sounded!

Jian Hanxing was blasted away and crashed heavily onto the edge of the arena.

The longsword slipped from his hand and embedded itself in the arena floor. He struggled to get up, but found himself in excruciating pain in his chest and his internal organs churning.

Xiao Jianchen's sword tip was pressed against his throat. The icy sword intent made his whole body stiffen.

"You lost." Xiao Jianchen's voice was completely calm.

Jian Hanxing's eyes held a complex expression, which ultimately turned into a sigh. He knew he had lost. He was utterly defeated.

Xiao Jianchen sheathed his sword and stood upright, like a lone pine tree standing proudly on a mountain peak.

He became the new champion!

Meanwhile, the battles on the other two arenas also reached a fever pitch.

Shi Kai, the young master of the Xuanjing Clan, faced a burly challenger wielding a giant axe. The challenger possessed astonishing strength; each axe strike carried the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, causing the arena to tremble under his attacks.

Shi Kai, however, appeared unusually calm. A faint crystalline light surrounded him, and he moved with agility. He dodged the sharp edge of the giant axe, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Boom!" The giant axe fell again, smashing a deep crater into the arena floor.

Shi Kai flashed to the challenger's flank. He formed hand seals and uttered softly, "Crystallization!"

Countless tiny crystals flew from his hand, like a sky full of stars, instantly adhering to the giant axe challenger's body. The challenger felt his body become heavy, and his movements slowed down. His skin began to show signs of crystallization.

"Shatter!" the challenger roared, unleashing his divine power in an attempt to shatter the crystals on his body.

However, Shi Kai's crystallization power was far stronger than he had imagined.

The crystals continued to spread, covering his body, suppressing his power and slowing his movements.

Shi Kai's eyes were indifferent; he knew that the outcome of this battle was already decided.

He formed another hand seal and softly uttered, "Crystal Explosion!"

The crystals attached to the challenger shattered instantly!

This wasn't a physical explosion, but rather the collapse of internal energy. The challenger let out a muffled groan, his internal immortal energy becoming chaotic, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily off the stage, incapacitated.

Shi Kai withdrew his hands, and the crystalline light dissipated. He stood calmly in the center of the arena, becoming the second new champion!

On the third arena.

Mu Wanling, the holy maiden of the Qingmu Holy Clan, was facing a cultivator skilled in fire magic.

The cultivator was surrounded by raging flames, like a god of fire. He waved his hands, and fire snakes, fire dragons, fire rain, and all sorts of fire-based supernatural powers emerged one after another, turning the arena into a sea of ​​fire.

Mu Wanling remained remarkably calm despite being engulfed in flames.
