Chapter 60 Each has its own merits, five watches, seeking collection and recommendation

  Jian Wuchen was on the trial platform, and after everyone had left, he suddenly appeared on the platform, closed his eyes, and waited for Yu Rou's arrival. Sure enough, it wasn't long before Yu Rou appeared on the platform, wearing a green dress that made her look extremely elegant and beautiful. Among the women Lu Yufeng had seen, probably only the two fairy maidens of Yunyang Sect could compare to her. Of course, Qingxianzi didn't count; in Lu Yufeng's eyes, Qingxianzi wasn't even a human being. Such an extraordinary beauty was probably unmatched even by real fairy maidens.

  "Senior brother, I concede!" Yu Rou said to Jian Wucheng.

  "Sister, you're no match for me!" Jian Wucheng said bluntly as he opened his eyes.

  "Why are all swordsmen like this?" Lu Yufeng thought to himself, both Sword Wudun and Sword Junzi Qing were of the same mold, speaking directly and to the point.

  "But I still want to try, and please spare me, senior brother. Otherwise, I will reveal some things that happened at the Tian Shui Gate back then, just worried that senior brother's face will turn red!" Yu Rou slightly raised her head, smiling faintly, her words causing another wave of daydreaming among the people below.

  "Alright, since you insist on trying, then let's try. With the Cloud Yang Sect's swordsmanship and the shocking sword intent of the Subduing Heaven Sword, defeating the Five Elements Sect's Fire Lunatic will surely make you see the uniqueness of our flying swords." Jian Wucheng seemed to have not heard Yu Rou's words at all, still with a faint smile. After finishing speaking, he spread his arms, and a flying sword flew out from his dantian, carrying an astonishing sword intent, flying high into the air, stirring up a whirlwind of clouds, its might was in no way inferior to Qing Shan's Killing Sword Path.

  "Jian Junzi wears a green robe, cultivating the killing sword path, while Jian Mou cultivates the war sword path." As soon as Jian Wucheng finished speaking, the flying swords in the high sky continued to expand, standing upright in the air, emitting a strong sense of battle intent.

  Jian Wuchen's method had actually made things difficult for the audience below, many of whom were pressed to the ground and couldn't lift their heads. Lu Yu Feng also released his true yuan to resist the overwhelming momentum.

  "Shixiong is indeed well-cultivated!" Yu Rou said, also releasing her own aura. Yu Rou's aura was not weak, but compared to Jian Wucheng, it was somewhat weaker.

  "Sister, don't force it, this might harm your foundation." Jian Wuchen said to Yu Rou, "This energy is more powerful than a normal clash. If you're not careful, you'll hurt your foundation and it won't be easy to recover."

  Only Yu Rou knew that if she didn't release her aura, she would soon be overwhelmed by Jian Wucheng's sword intent and would lose without him even making a move. She was the main one bearing the brunt of Jian Wucheng's sword intent, and she understood just how terrifying his sword intent was. Releasing her aura was also something she had to do out of necessity.

  "Go ahead and make your move, senior brother!" Yu Rou said loudly, gritting her teeth.

  "Good! War!" As soon as Jian Wucheng's war character came out, the sword momentum that covered the sky and earth rushed towards Yu Rou, and Yu Rou's momentum was pressed down along with others, unable to lift her head. However, she still persisted. Yu Rou cultivated the Soft Water Technique, which fully embodied the softness of water in terms of momentum. Although she was nearly defeated by Jian Wucheng's momentum several times, the inexhaustible nature of water allowed her to hold on.

  "War! War! War!" This time, Jian Wucheng let out three loud war cries in a row, and the shocking sword momentum turned into a sharp sword edge, slashing fiercely on Yu Rou's aura.

  Yu Rou's momentum was shattered by Jian Wucheng's single sword strike, and she spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

  "Brother Shifu is indeed formidable, I admit defeat!" Yu Rou said with a sigh of relief as she looked at Jian Wucheng.

  "Sister, I concede!" The duel between Jian Wuchen and Yu Rou was the fastest, even faster than the trial between Qing Shan and Huo Kuang.

  "This Sword Without Dust is really too formidable!" Lu Yufeng heard the people around him say, and he also agreed in his heart. The swordsmanship of Jian Wuduan and Qing Shan's killing swordsmanship could be said to be equally matched, neither superior nor inferior.

  "The first round of the trial has ended, and everyone will withdraw for now. Three days later, the final trial will be held, and the five winners will go on stage together. The last three people standing on the stage will win!" It was that ethereal voice again, announcing the time and rules for the next trial.

  Lu Yu Feng returned to his resting place, sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. During these three days, Lu Yu Feng did not take a single step out of the room. The food he ate was all brought by the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect. Seeing the strength of these people, Lu Yu Feng knew that he needed to work even harder, otherwise, the gap between him and them would only grow wider. However, Lu Yu Feng did not lose confidence. Not to mention his unique Chi Wind Seal, with the green spiritual energy in his body, he might still have a chance to fight against them in the future.

  Lu Yifeng arrived early at the competition venue. Today's battle is absolutely going to be the most exciting, and it's absolutely not to be missed. When Lu Yifeng arrived, the five people who had won the previous competition were already standing on the competition platform.

  Yu Jian Men: Jian Wu Chen, Tian Mo Men: Mo Wu Xiang, Yao Jun Gong: Jin Yu, Yao Wang Gu: Qi Zi Yun and Yun Yang Zong: Qing Shan.

  "How are we going to compare?" asked Qi Zi Yun, the young master of Yao Wang Valley. This was indeed a problem, as five people couldn't be compared fairly in pairs, since there would always be one extra person or one less person.

  "It's easy!" Jian Wuchen said, sitting cross-legged on the ground. "Whoosh!" With a burst of energy, he released his aura, but instead of releasing it outward, he transformed it into a sword, condensing the intense pressure into a nearly tangible flying sword that hovered high above his head.

  Several people immediately understood the meaning of Jian Wucheng, and they all sat down one after another, emitting their own aura. Jian Wucheng's proposal was very good, the five of them transformed into objects with their aura, and then competed with each other. Although they had transformed into objects, it was still a competition of aura in essence, so there was no need to worry about having more or fewer people.

  Mo Wu Xiang's aura was released, condensing into a human silhouette. The silhouette wasn't solid and seemed somewhat ethereal, but it was indeed majestic and not inferior to Jian Wu Chen's. Jin Yu's aura was released, coalescing into a golden-winged Peng bird. As soon as the golden-winged Peng bird condensed, it let out a sharp cry and flew towards the sky before stabilizing above Jin Yu, appearing extremely agile.

  The majestic aura of Yao Wang Gu's Qi Ziyun condensed into the shape of a weapon, which was exactly the shape of his Lian Tian War Halberd, and it steadily hovered above him.

  The green shirt saw that the four people had all condensed their auras into the images they needed, and no longer hesitated. They directly released their auras, and a long sword shot up to the sky, stirring up a cloud of turbulent movement. At the moment when the green shirt released its sword intent, Sword Without Dust's flying sword was trembling slightly, which was excitement, as well as the will to fight against an opponent.

  Jian Wuchen saw that the other four had already made their preparations, controlling their flying swords to rotate continuously. Then, he saw endless sword moves pressing down on the other four. The momentum could be directed at one person coming out, but with the current realm of the five people, it was impossible to reach that level. Therefore, attacking one person meant attacking all four people together, and when someone counterattacked, they would also attack all four people together. This was the situation where the five people were mutually balanced. That's why the five of them chose this method to determine victory or defeat.

  "Hmph!" The swordless Dustless was outside, and the other four people simultaneously let out a cold hum. Then, the momentum of the five people suddenly surged, and each of them occupied one side, emitting a strong aura. For a moment, they were at a stalemate. This kind of atmosphere comparison is the most uninteresting, there's nothing exciting about it. It all comes down to who has the deepest understanding of their own cultivation and who can win.

  All five of them looked calm, but the aura they emitted was enough to intimidate the audience below. The area around the trial platform had already been emptied out, with only a few people remaining. The closer you stood, the more oppressive the aura became. Those who could stand here were all powerful figures, including the five who had lost earlier.

  "If anyone can't hold on, then withdraw on your own. After all, this is just a test of strength. If you're injured because of this, it's not worth it." The one who said this was still Jian Wucheng, and his words were almost the same as what he had said to Yu Rou three days ago.
