Chapter 337: Defeating Chiguang with a Single Sword (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)

"If these two clash, we might actually learn something."

Holy Son Haoyue's eyes were cold and indifferent. He disregarded everyone else, not even sparing them a glance. He was only bothered by Li Hao's previous sword strike.

If his master hadn't reassured him afterward, his Dao Heart would have almost cracked.

Besides the Holy Sons, many elders from major forces were also present in the crowd to observe the battle.

They were not qualified to watch the selection battles of the Holy Lands. Therefore, the clashes between vagrant cultivators of the dozens of dynasties had instead become a grand event in the Canglan Realm.

The Canghai Emperor also personally came to watch the battle, sitting on a cloud chariot, keeping a relatively low profile.

"Tingqin said that Qingfeng has joined the Huayou Society, and she was the one who introduced him. It's good that this child has become a Butterfly of the Huayou Society."

The Canghai Emperor chuckled softly to the noble and beautiful woman beside him, his aged hand gently stroking her fair, jade-like hand.

This woman was one of his most favored concubines, and her daughter was Gui Tingqin. The mother benefited from the daughter's status.

"Tingqin is also working for Your Majesty. This child was thinking of you yesterday, saying that the camellias in March have bloomed and she wanted to send some to you."

The noble and beautiful woman said with a gentle and tender smile.

The Canghai Emperor nodded slightly. "It's been a while since I've seen this child. Have her come see me when she has time."

The noble and beautiful woman smiled faintly and then looked at the battle stage, asking, "If that Attendant Chiguang and Attendant Qingfeng were to fight, it would surely be a fierce battle between a dragon and a tiger. I hope they don't become enemies because of it."

The Canghai Emperor stared at the battle stage, a trace of worry in his eyes.

As more and more people gathered at the scene, the top ten battle officially began.

After the rules were announced, the participants were randomly paired. Under the joint witness of ten Demigods sent by the ten divine dynasties, this competition of prodigies would take place.

The scene was grand and bustling, but Li Hao, sitting in the waiting area, was as calm as still water. He felt a sense of tranquility that intensified with the surrounding excitement.

For him, this battle was just a formality. The ranking didn't matter. The important thing was the subsequent confrontation with the three Holy Lands, fighting for the Canglan Realm's qualification to participate, which was crucial. This was merely a warm-up.

Soon, the result of Li Hao's opponent was revealed.

Li Hao looked and was somewhat surprised to see that it was the woman in cloud-like clothing he had met in the Imperial Palace. Her name was Suyun.

Suyun also noticed that her first opponent was Li Hao. Her expression changed slightly. She still vividly remembered Li Hao receiving the incense offerings from ten cities in the Imperial Palace. Afterward, she had observed Li Hao and learned that his swordsmanship had reached the Dao Entry Realm, realizing she was no match for him.

With the other battles concluded, Li Hao and Suyun were in the third match.

On the battle stage, Suyun stared at Li Hao as he approached, saying, "I heard your swordsmanship has reached the Dao Entry Realm, but I would like to experience it."

"Alright," Li Hao nodded.

Suyun's eyes became serious. Once the array was formed, she immediately unleashed her Four Extremities Realm cultivation and then suddenly swung her cloud sleeve.

The cloud sleeve, like a whip, was some kind of treasure. Cloud shadows floated from the sleeve, which was also some kind of divine ability.

Li Hao felt as if the surroundings of the battle stage had turned into a cloud, but this cloud carried a corrosive power, as if it wanted to corrode his body.

However, his physical body had already been cultivated to the ultimate realm, the pinnacle of the limit. The cloud was blocked by his body, unable to harm him in the slightest.

Seeing that her divine ability was ineffective, Suyun's pupils contracted slightly. She could feel that when her divine ability acted on Li Hao's flesh, it was like covering a diamond rock, unable to shake it at all.

"How is this possible?"

Suyun was somewhat dazed. This was the first time she had seen her divine ability fail, especially since it was her ultimate move.

Li Hao didn't delay. He raised his hand and pinched a wisp of cloud. He condensed his Primordial Spirit power on it, turning it into cloud sword energy, and casually slashed it out.

The Supreme Soft Sword Dao, with the cloud as its trajectory, instantly traversed Suyun's Dao Domain, passing by her ear and cutting dozens of strands of her hair, which gently fell onto her shoulder.

Suyun was stunned. Although her Dao Domain was not fully expanded, it had not played any blocking role. This sword energy, having entered the Dao, had surpassed the suppression of the laws within the Dao Domain.

Unless her Dao Domain was vast, it couldn't restrain it.

Suyun's expression changed. A trace of struggle appeared in her eyes, but in the end, she slumped and said softly, "I concede."

She had thought she would lose, but she hadn't expected to lose so easily.

Li Hao cupped his hands slightly and then turned to leave the stage, as if he had just come up for a stroll.

The cheers from the audience had just started to ignite when the battle ended. Many people were stunned and shocked. Suyun's previous battles with others had been extremely intense, and her cloud divine ability had made her opponents feel extremely troubled. They had never expected that in front of Li Hao, her divine ability seemed to have no effect before she was defeated.

"That Qingfeng's sword is so strong!"

"I noticed him during the battle of ten thousand people. All his battles seemed to be resolved with a single wisp of sword energy."

"What a terrifying sword Dao. Could he be from the Sword Ancestor Holy Land?"

"How is that possible? Although those from the Sword Ancestor Holy Land all use swords, not everyone who uses a sword is from the Sword Ancestor Holy Land. I also use a sword, does that mean I'm one of them?"

"Don't flatter yourself. They wouldn't even look at your sword Dao."

"Your mother..."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. However, a few people present, such as Li Qingyi, had serious expressions.

Although Li Hao still used only his sword Dao to resolve this battle, he didn't force out any of Li Hao's sword Dao killing moves. He clearly had a lot of power left. In addition, they could also see that the cloud divine ability seemed to have a great impact on the physical body, but Li Hao resisted it, indicating that Li Hao's physical body was also extremely strong.

"The physical bodies of those at the extreme realm of Tongli are all in the divine power state, but he doesn't seem to have entered the divine power state. Could it be that the divine ability hasn't taken effect yet?"

Someone wondered, thinking that it could only be so.

Other martial artists might have differences in their physical bodies, but the physical bodies of prodigies were basically similar, all at the extreme realm of Tongli.

Although there were differences in the extreme realm of Tongli, they were not obvious. Moreover, prodigies had too many things to cultivate. Leaving aside their realm, just the techniques, divine abilities, and other extreme realms were more worthy of study.

"Too weak."

Holy Son Haoyue's eyes were cold and indifferent. Although the woman in cloud clothing had the combat power of a Holy Maiden, she was far inferior to Li Hao. Even he could easily defeat her.

In the crowd, Lin Qingying saw that the sword Dao Li Hao used was still the previous Supreme Soft Sword Dao, and her eyes lit up. At the same time, she also gained some insight.

Li Hao had previously guided her in the sword Dao, but comprehending it was another matter. Unless one had an epiphany, it couldn't be achieved overnight. Otherwise, if a Saint taught a disciple, the disciple would be able to graduate in a single day.

After the battle with Suyun, Li Hao successfully advanced. He then waited for his next assigned opponent.

Suyun, on the other hand, entered the loser's bracket and continued to fight. After a fierce battle, she achieved victory.

While watching the battles, Li Hao was also quietly recording the techniques of these prodigies, and at the same time, he took out his drawing board and ink to paint.

His actions caught the attention of some people, and many were shocked. In such intense and fierce battles, he still had the leisure to paint?

Was this intentional showboating, or was he overconfident?

But when countless divine senses gathered and saw Li Hao's painting, they were all speechless. The figures in the painting were vivid and lively, as if they were striking out in front of them, containing fierce attacks, far from simple showmanship.

"This Young Master Qingfeng's painting skills are superb!"

"Is this what a peerless prodigy is like? In addition to martial arts, his other skills are also beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"With this painting skill, he could become the chief painter of a divine dynasty."

Many people whispered, but Li Hao was not affected by the discussions. His mind was at ease, and he painted casually.

As one after another notification of painting experience appeared, the experience bar was gradually progressing...

Before long, it was time for Li Hao to fight again. He placed his brush on the inkstone and then stood up, teleporting to the battle stage in one step.

This time, his opponent was a young man from the winner's bracket. He had also noticed Li Hao painting offstage. His expression was serious. Among the top ten opponents, besides Chiguang, Li Hao was also a formidable character, giving people the feeling that he was unfathomable.

The sword Dao he had shown was already extremely terrifying, and no one knew what other methods this Qingfeng had.

"You seem confident of victory."

The young man stared at Li Hao and said.

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Victory or defeat here is just a formality. It doesn't matter."

The young man's eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately understood Li Hao's meaning. His goal was to represent the Canglan Realm, and he didn't even care about the current battle.

However, wasn't that the same for him?

As a prodigy, who didn't have that kind of arrogance that looked down on everything?

"I really want to see your clash with Chiguang, to see what trump cards you both have."

The young man narrowed his eyes and said, "By encountering me, you may have to expose a little something in advance."

As he spoke, the array was formed. He suddenly burst out, directly summoning his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol. Then, the blade in his hand ignited with a dark, raging flame, and he slashed towards Li Hao.

The Dharma Idol in his hand also condensed a blade and slashed down with him. The space seemed to slightly crack. This strike contained an extremely strong blade intent, as if it wanted to split the earth.

Li Hao felt the vast and powerful force. The Heaven and Earth Meridian circulated slightly and emerged behind him, instantly drawing in a vast amount of Heaven and Earth power. Then, he formed a sword energy in his hand and casually slashed it out.

The Supreme Soft overcoming the Supreme Hard, the sword energy was like a soft thread, quickly adhering to the opponent's blade and breaking into the Dharma Idol.

With a bang, the Dharma Idol shattered, and the sword energy passed by the opponent's neck, drawing a bloodstain.

Li Hao withdrew his hand, and the Heaven and Earth Meridian behind him, like a spider web, also retracted and hid.

The young man standing within the Dharma Idol was stunned, and then his face turned pale, looking rather unsightly.

He wanted to force out some of Li Hao's true abilities, but this sword Dao was more terrifying than he had imagined. Li Hao did show the Heaven and Earth Meridian, which he hadn't shown in previous battles, but he only slightly circulated it to gather some power, which couldn't be considered a trump card.

After the young man conceded, Li Hao cupped his hands and then turned to leave the stage.

When he returned to his seat, he saw the ink on the tip of the brush on the inkstone about to drip. He quickly picked it up, turned it in the inkstone, adjusted the brush, and then started painting again.

This series of actions was smooth and natural, leaving many people who had been following Li Hao speechless.

Compared to the battle, he seemed to care more about his painting.

"It ended with a single sword again. Who can force him to use a second sword?"

"Too strong. I guess only Chiguang can suppress him."

"I didn't expect such monsters to emerge from among us vagrant cultivators. My master said that cultivation depends on the individual. If one's talent is mediocre, joining a Holy Land may not necessarily lead to great achievements. I believe it now!"

"Looking at him, it seems he hasn't even warmed up yet. It's a bit exaggerated."

The audience was buzzing with discussion.

Lin Qingying saw Li Hao's focused appearance and immediately thought of the small courtyard where he carved and painted every day. A faint smile appeared on her beautiful and cold face, like a flower blooming on a snow-capped mountain, giving a stunning feeling.

She knew that Li Hao wasn't pretending to be relaxed, but that he genuinely enjoyed these things.

Others might not understand, but she had seen it many times and knew Li Hao's temperament.

"His behavior really reminds me of an old friend."

Not far away, Bian Ruxue said softly.

As Holy Maidens of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, they came to watch the battle and stood relatively close.

Lin Qingying was somewhat surprised and looked at her, asking, "What?"

Bian Ruxue's eyes showed distant thoughts, and she said softly, "When I was a child, there was also a prodigy who loved painting and playing chess all day, but he was not interested in martial arts. But his martial arts talent was extremely terrifying, even not inferior to the Holy Sons in the Holy Land. It's just a pity that he was too playful."

Lin Qingying was slightly stunned. She knew that Bian Ruxue came from the mortal world. There was such a monster in the mortal world?

"This can't be considered playful."

Lin Qingying said, "He's just doing what he likes. What we pursue in cultivation is to be free and unrestrained. He is already able to be free."

Speaking of this, she looked at Li Hao with envy in her eyes.

Bian Ruxue looked at her and said, "Didn't you pursue becoming a Sword Saint?"

"Yes, and no." Lin Qingying's gaze turned to the painting figure, and she said thoughtfully, "If I have someone to accompany me, the Sword Dao is not necessarily something I must cultivate. After all, what we seek in cultivating to become Saints is nothing more than freedom and unrestraint."

Bian Ruxue's eyes showed a trace of disappointment. She withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "I am different from you. I want to see the highest scenery, and I will die without regrets!"

Lin Qingying glanced at her and felt the other party's coldness, as if she looked down on her words. She didn't mind and smiled faintly, saying:

"Perhaps the most beautiful scenery is at the foot of the mountain. Standing high only allows you to see far, but the true beauty is not at the top of the mountain."

"You haven't seen it, so how would you know? With your temperament, if not for his guidance, your Sword Dao would hardly have great achievements."

Bian Ruxue said, unwilling to continue the conversation.

Lin Qingying smiled and said, "But with my temperament, I was able to receive his guidance. This is my luck. My master said that luck is also a part of strength. Prodigies have the luck of the Heavenly Dao on them, so it seems my luck is not bad."

Bian Ruxue frowned. She had also heard her master, the Sword Saint, say this, and it was irrefutable.

"You said that your old friend in the mortal world was also like this. What happened to him later? Could he be Qingfeng?"

Lin Qingying's eyes turned, and she asked with great interest.

She found it hard to imagine that there could be a second person like Qingfeng in the world.

Bian Ruxue's thoughts drifted, but she quickly pulled them back and shook her head. "I was brought here by my master, and I no longer know about things in the mortal world. He can't be Qingfeng. Their auras are completely different. This is something that cannot be hidden or changed."

Lin Qingying heard this and didn't think much of it. She glanced at Li Hao and said softly:

"Don't you envy him?"

Envy? Bian Ruxue looked at her in astonishment. When she saw the hint of tenderness in her eyes, she immediately seemed to understand something. Her eyes became even colder, and she said:

"Your Sword Dao will not go far."

With that, she didn't intend to continue the conversation.

Lin Qingying perceived her thoughts, smiled faintly, and didn't get angry. She didn't bother with her anymore, knowing that they had different temperaments and were not on the same path.

With the fierce battles on the stage, apart from Li Hao and Chiguang, the others also showed extraordinary strength. The top ten battle gradually reached its climax. The clash between Li Hao and Chiguang that many people were looking forward to didn't happen in advance, until the two both advanced to the finals, where they finally met.

"I thought we could see a good show in advance, but I didn't expect them to meet only in the final battle."

"This seems to be a fated duel!"

"Is divine ability stronger, or is sword Dao stronger? The battle between divine ability and sword Dao at the Dao Entry level has been debated for countless years. After this battle, there should be a result."

Many people in the audience looked eager. It was finally the final battle.

Li Hao had finished painting the portraits of all nine prodigies. Now that it was the final, he also put away his drawing board and ink.

This action fell into the eyes of many people, who all felt that Li Hao was about to get serious.

Chiguang was the first to stand on the battle stage. Seeing Li Hao put away his drawing board, he smiled faintly. In previous battles with others, Li Hao seemed to still be thinking about his painting, but he started to get serious when he encountered him.

However, how many of his methods he could force out would depend on his ability... Chiguang's eyes flickered, and his gaze swept across the audience, lingering on a few figures in kasayas with shaved heads, before withdrawing his gaze.

At this time, Li Hao also walked onto the battle stage.

After drawing everyone once, Li Hao had already seen that Chiguang was basically a level above the rest of the top ten, aside from himself.

The painting experience of the others was at most around 22,000, while Chiguang's was 35,000. This gap was too big.

One had to know that the gap between a Demigod and Chiguang was only about 10,000 experience.

And the manifestation of a 10,000 painting experience gap in battle was crushing!

From this, it could also be seen how big the gap between the Sword Master, who initially provided 370,000 experience, and a Demigod was!

"As I expected, this final battle is between us."

After the array was formed, Chiguang was not in a hurry to make a move, and said indifferently.

Li Hao nodded, "You're too kind."

Seeing that Li Hao had no interest in talking much, Chiguang raised his eyebrows slightly. He originally had some feelings of惺惺相惜(mutual appreciation) for a monster like Li Hao, but the other party didn't seem to have this sense of closeness.

Although he previously looked down on Li Hao for spending his mind on other things, after this round of competition, he felt that apart from a few individuals in the Holy Lands, only Li Hao could barely keep up with his pace.

His true opponents were destined to be in the other worlds that would represent the Canglan Realm.

"I saw that you haven't been using a sword before. This time, are you still not planning to use a sword?"

Chiguang stared at Li Hao and said.

Li Hao heard his reminder and nodded, taking out the dark Gongming from his Heaven and Earth space.

This sword was completely black and without light, as if it could devour everything.

Chiguang smiled faintly, and then flames emerged all over his body, saying, "Let's see if your sword can cut through my fire!"

As he spoke, he suddenly made a move, revealing his extreme realm. The Heaven and Earth Meridian gathered power, pushing his aura to the peak, and then he waved his hand to display his fire-type divine ability.

"It's coming!"

Offstage, many prodigies who had previously been defeated by Chiguang's hands all had their eyes narrowed.

That fire-type divine ability was extremely terrifying, a guaranteed hit that couldn't be dodged, only endured.

They didn't know if Li Hao's sword Dao would be affected under the burning of that fire-type divine ability.

At the same time, the moment Chiguang made his move, Li Hao immediately felt a surge of anger in his heart. The anger seemed to burn like a flame, igniting his own emotions, and even his blood felt like it was boiling and violent.

But soon, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a sword intent suddenly rose from his heart.

Slash!

The Only Me Sword Dao,斩心中火(cut the fire in the heart)!

The burning anger was instantly extinguished, and Li Hao's heart returned to the state of stillness he had when he first stepped onto the stage.

He raised his hand and swung his sword.

On the black Gongming, a dazzling sun and moon sword light suddenly appeared, like a dazzling divine sun, brilliant and blazing, illuminating the entire battle stage.

With a single sword strike, the divine sun seemed to explode, turning into rolling heat waves that suppressed Chiguang!

"My Sword Dao..."

Holy Son Haoyue was stunned, and then his pupils contracted, his eyes revealing shock.

His own sword intent was actually being displayed by the other party, and it wasn't sword intent, but sword Dao!

The vast and surging sun and moon were more terrifying and more exquisite than what he displayed!

His sword Dao, which he had cultivated for many years, was actually seen through and surpassed by the other party!

Holy Son Haoyue's expression was shocked, changing, and pale with anger. His previously stable Dao Heart was now cracking inch by inch, giving him a feeling of cognitive collapse.

Chiguang saw the flames in Li Hao's eyes disappear, and his originally indifferent expression was stunned. His pupils contracted slightly, somewhat surprised. His fire-type divine ability was actually extinguished?

He didn't see what method Li Hao used, but this imposing sword light covered him.

The sword energy contained the power of Heaven and Earth. In that sun and moon, there seemed to be countless intertwined lights and shadows, using the sun and moon to reflect Heaven and Earth, and using Heaven and Earth to suppress all things.

His whole body felt as if he was carrying hundreds of thousands of mountains, so heavy that his knees felt sore and torn. However, a fiery divine light suddenly burst out in his eyes. Was this the opponent's strongest swordsmanship?

Boom boom boom!

The Sun and Moon Sword Dao suppressed down like stars, and the entire battle stage caved in and cracked. However, Chiguang stood upright in it, surrounded by flames. He shot out a brilliant divine light from his eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Boom!

The sword force of the divine sun's explosion directly sent his body flying, crashing into the array.

The array trembled, and Chiguang's body fell. He was covered in cracks. This sword had severely injured him.

He climbed up from the ground, his blood surging, but he was trying to control it, not using his true power.

He turned into a domain of flames around his body, stacking forty layers of Dao Domain, barely managing to offset Li Hao's sword.

Even so, his whole body was illuminated and burned by the sun and moon, covered in cracks.

Outside the arena, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that in the face of the powerful Chiguang, Li Hao's sword would actually erupt with unprecedented power.

Li Hao had used the Sun and Moon Sword Dao before, but he clearly didn't use his full strength and easily won.

Now, they truly witnessed the terror of this sword Dao.

The sun and moon carried the suppression of Heaven and Earth, as if they wanted to flatten the entire Sacrificial Dao Mountain.

"Is this Qingfeng's sword? What a terrifying Sword Dao!"

Countless people discussed in shock, all horrified. They didn't expect the other party's hidden methods to be so terrifying.

However, in the crowd, many of the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land were stunned.

They all recognized that this was not Qingfeng's own Sword Dao, but the Sword Dao of Holy Son Haoyue!

Moreover, Holy Son Haoyue only had sword intent, while what Li Hao displayed at this moment was the Sun and Moon Sword Dao!

More imposing, more complete, this was the true Sun and Moon Divine Sword!

Holy Son Haoyue's face was pale. The young man was not using his own sword, but his sword. This seemed to also indicate another terrifying thing.

That was, Li Hao's own Sword Dao was even more terrifying!

After all, the Sword Dao that one cultivated oneself was definitely not comparable to the Sword Dao of others. Li Hao had only briefly clashed with him. Even if he had been secretly spying on him since he came to the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, it had only been a little over a year. To cultivate the Sun and Moon Sword Dao in such a short time, this level of comprehension was already terrifying enough.

If he displayed his own Sword Dao, it would only be even more terrifying.

Holy Son Haoyue suddenly thought that the Sword Dao Li Hao used to defeat him earlier seemed very similar to Lin Qingying's, it was her sword!

Thinking of this, his expression became even more unsightly.

What kind of Sword Dao was Li Hao's own Sword Dao?

Could it be that, like his master, the Sword Saint, he used all living beings as his sword, and the Sword Dao of all living beings was his own sword?

Thinking of this, he felt his heart clench fiercely. He used the sun and moon as his Sword Dao, wanting to reflect the heavens, and also walked the same path as his master. When reflecting the heavens, he would naturally also reflect all living beings, and all living beings were also under the light of the sun and moon. If his Sword Dao was completed, it would not be inferior to his master's!

But now, Li Hao was displaying his Sword Dao here.

If Li Hao's cultivation reached the Saint Realm, with sufficient power, this Sword Dao would erupt with even more terrifying power, truly reflecting Heaven and Earth, with all things as his sword!

Chiguang's body swayed, but the wounds on his body were slow to heal. The Sun and Moon Sword Intent that had penetrated his pores was still tearing at his flesh.

He stared at Li Hao, but there was excitement and a smile in his eyes.

Li Hao stood quietly with his sword, looking at the other party. He could feel that the other party had other abilities that he hadn't displayed.

"Is this your strongest Sword Dao? I've experienced it. It's indeed very strong!"

Chiguang's voice came, directly transmitting to Li Hao's ears.

Li Hao looked at the other party, seeing that although he looked miserable, there was a smile in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, I have to save my ultimate move for the twin sons of the Buddhist Sect. I can't use it in advance. I want to represent the Canglan Realm as the number one. I'll give you the position of number one among the vagrant cultivators. Next time we clash, I'll take it back!"

Chiguang said, showing satisfaction in his eyes. Li Hao's sword made him feel the feeling of blood boiling. This Supreme Prodigy Battle made him even more expectant. He had encountered such a character just among the vagrant cultivators. He didn't know what kind of fierce sparks would collide when he clashed with the heavens later.

Li Hao was stunned, somewhat surprised. Was the other party planning to give up?

But this way, he didn't mind. Anyway, if one sword wasn't enough, he would just use another sword. If it really didn't work, it wouldn't be impossible to use his own Sword Dao to quickly resolve it.

"If you weren't playful, and your Sword Dao was a little stronger, perhaps you could really pose a threat to me."

Chiguang said to Li Hao via voice transmission, feeling quite regretful in his words.

Li Hao smiled and also put away the black Gongming, saying, "Then let's compete again next time."

"You have to work harder next time."

Chiguang smiled. Seeing Li Hao's strongest sword move, he already knew Li Hao's strength level.

Afterward, Chiguang turned and conceded to the referee, not continuing.

Hearing Chiguang give up, everyone was shocked, but it was also understandable.

The power of Li Hao's sword just now was too strong. Even outside the array, they felt suppressed by the sword force, unable to move.

"Chiguang's fire-type divine ability was actually blocked by that Qingfeng!"

"He can even block that kind of divine ability? What kind of method is this?"

"It seems that this Qingfeng is even more terrifying than we imagined. There shouldn't be any problem with him representing our Canglan Realm, right?"

"I thought Chiguang would win, but this Qingfeng is even more unfathomable. This Sword Dao is too terrifying."

Countless discussions sounded in the audience.

Holy Son Haoyue heard this, his face turning green and white, feeling both a cold sneer and anger in his heart. He sneered at the ignorance of these people, who didn't understand that Li Hao still had methods he hadn't used. He was angry that the other party displayed such a terrifying Sun and Moon Sword Dao, so if he made a move later, wouldn't he be ridiculed?

He suppressed his anger, his face ashen, and he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. He felt a kind of madness in his heart, an unprecedented desire to perfect his own sword intent before the next clash.

But rushing along the path of cultivation was useless, and it was easy to go astray. He felt more憋屈(frustrated) in his heart.

"Chiguang actually lost."

On the cloud chariot, the noble and beautiful woman was stunned, somewhat surprised. This Attendant with twelve cities' worth of incense, and who was also going to marry a princess, actually lost to Qingfeng.

They had underestimated Qingfeng's strength earlier.

The Canghai Emperor's eyes flickered. He was a Demigod, and he saw more clearly. He saw that Chiguang didn't unleash his true trump card, presumably intending to save it for later battles. After all, the current competition among vagrant cultivators was not worth mentioning compared to the Canglan Realm's qualification to participate.

"This kid Chiguang is probably treating the twin sons of the Buddhist Sect as his opponents. Those twin sons are indeed a bit terrifying. Not to mention the Six Extremities Realm, the Buddhist Heart and Demonic Idol are simply terrifying. They should be top-notch even among the heavens..."

The Canghai Emperor's eyes flickered. No matter what, after this battle, he would increase the incense offerings to this Attendant Qingfeng.

"This is not his Sword Dao!"

Lin Qingying's eyes were excited. The Sun and Moon Divine Sword displayed by Li Hao was already so terrifying, his own Sword Dao must be even stronger.

Bian Ruxue's expression was also extremely serious. No wonder the other party had the leisure to paint. This strength was a bit terrifying, much stronger than her.

"How can he use Holy Son Haoyue's sword? Could it be that he also cultivates the same Sword Dao as the Sword Saint, where his own Sword Dao can accommodate other Sword Daos?"

The other Holy Sons and Holy Maidens were all surprised and suspicious, having a clearer understanding of Li Hao's strength. In this Canglan Realm clash, this Qingfeng was probably a huge hidden dark horse, very likely to challenge for the top ten of the Supreme Prodigy Battle!

One had to know that those who could enter the top ten were all monster-level freaks. Now that the Saints were reincarnating and cultivating one after another, the intensity of this Supreme Prodigy Battle was also unprecedentedly fierce.

"His sword is indeed frightening..."

Li Qingyi and the others had serious expressions, all seeing Li Hao's terrifying strength.

"It seems that, apart from Senior Brother Shuhai, no one will be his opponent."

The young man with the folding fan said in a low voice with a serious expression.

Li Qingyi nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and it seemed that her previous defeat was not unjust.

At this time, with Chiguang's concession, the top ten battle also ended.

The Demigods of the ten divine dynasties stepped forward to reward the ten people, also announcing the end of this grand event.

The next clash would be the competition with the three Holy Lands in three months. At that time, there would be realm stones reflecting the battle, and the entire Canglan Realm would be able to see this struggle.

Suyun looked at Li Hao, knowing that in their previous battle, Li Hao had shown mercy. The gap between them was too great.

Her eyes flickered. There were still three months left, and she needed to go into seclusion and cultivate properly.

"In three months, it will be the Canglan Realm clash. We also need to go into seclusion."

"I didn't expect there to be such monsters among the vagrant cultivators, and there are two of them. That Chiguang is also not bad."

The many Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land had serious expressions. They didn't stay any longer and returned to the Holy Land to enter seclusion.

The several figures in kasayas in the crowd chanted a Buddhist phrase, but their expressions were indifferent, and they turned and left.

Li Qingyi and the young man with the folding fan also felt great pressure. Apart from Li Hao and Chiguang, there were also strong opponents among the others, and they all needed to prepare seriously for the battle.

Although three months of cultivation might not lead to much progress, they had gained a lot of insights from watching so many battles, plus the Holy Land competition. If they could digest and absorb all of this, they would also improve significantly in the short term.

"I should also go back into seclusion."

Lin Qingying stared at Li Hao for a moment, didn't go over to greet him, and turned and floated away.

When she came out of seclusion next time, if her swordsmanship had reached the Dao Entry realm, perhaps she could still have a chance to compete. Otherwise, she would definitely just be a foil.

With the end of the battle, many figures in the crowd left. Chiguang glanced at Li Hao. At this moment, the injuries on his body were slowly healing. He transmitted his voice:

"There are still three months. Work hard. Although your current Sword Dao is very strong, it's still a bit lacking."

Li Hao was somewhat speechless. This guy talked a bit too much. He suddenly felt that he should have used the Only Me Sword Dao earlier to directly split him in half and let him calm down.

After Chiguang finished speaking via voice transmission, he also left the battle stage. Although he didn't use his full strength in this battle, he still felt somewhat unhappy. He didn't expect his fire-type divine ability to be suppressed by Li Hao's Sword Dao. If he could easily win with just his fire-type divine ability, then it would be truly perfect.
