C164 Kill Your Way into the Top Eight
"Ding!"
The Killing Force Sword struck the Immortal Sword, instantly releasing a burst of sparks. The Immortal Sword swayed in the air, the Spirit Qi around its body flickered, as though it was going to fall down at any time.
"This is bad!" Xia Mao thought this was bad. He didn't even have time to recover from his soul injury. He quickly changed his hand gestures and urged the dozens of thunderbolts in the sky to attack Nie Zhen at the same time.
"Rumble rumble rumble!"
Nie Zhen was hit by the lightning head on and dropped to the ground. The lightning followed him like shadows and crashed into the surface of the stage together with Nie Zhen. Dust flew everywhere and thick smoke billowed.
"This is bad... "He won't …" Previously, he was hit by Nie Zhen's Asura Pupil Technique and the Sky Thunder Tribulation was affected. Xia Mao thought that Nie Zhen would be able to dodge this attack, and at that time, he did not care about the situation and directly controlled the lightning to strike down on him. Who knew that Nie Zhen could not dodge it, and all the lightning and thunder hit Nie Zhen's body.
Even if the power of the Sky Cracking Thunder was greatly reduced due to his soul being attacked, it was still dozens of lightning bolts. If there was an accident, even if it didn't kill him, Xia Mao would blame himself if it hurt Nie Zhen's foundation.
When the surrounding disciples saw this soul-stirring battle, their hearts rippled, and in the end, Nie Zhen was struck by the Sky Cracking Thunder Tribulations, causing them to be extremely shocked.
"Senior Brother Nie, he …" "He couldn't have been struck to death by lightning, right …"
"It shouldn't be possible... Before Senior Xia hit Senior Brother Nie, he seemed to have suffered an attack from Senior Brother Nie, so the power of the heavenly tribulation should have been affected … "
"Even if the power of the Sky overturning lightning tribulation isn't even one in a hundred, it still isn't something that can be casually endured right … "I remember that Senior Brother Nie didn't use any defensive methods back then, but purely relied on his physical body to withstand it …"
"It won't happen... Senior Brother Nie possesses many pills. Even if he was struck by lightning, it would still be easy for him to recover. "
The surrounding disciples started to worry about Nie Zhen. Xia Mao was even more unsure about Nie Zhen's situation since he wanted to rush into the thick smoke to find him.
If they could see the indifferent expressions of the five grand masters, if they could see the faint looks of surprise in their eyes, they might have become more rational.
Just when Xia Mao was about to rush into the smoke to check Nie Zhen's condition, he suddenly heard Nie Zhen's voice coming from the smoke.
"Heh heh... Fortunately, I broke through half of the heavenly tribulation first, otherwise, I might really not be able to withstand it. "
"Eh …." Everyone was speechless. From Nie Zhen's tone, it seemed like nothing had happened. Could it be that this brat's body was made of iron? Even such a powerful move was unable to defeat him? No way!
When Nie Zhen walked out of the smoke, everyone finally believed that Nie Zhen was really safe and sound because Nie Zhen looked very calm. He didn't even look like he used too much strength.
"Impossible!" Could it be that this kid has tendons of copper and bones of iron?! "
"It can also be a medicinal pill. Aren't there many body tempering medicinal pills in this world?" Maybe Senior Brother Nie had taken it before, so he managed to take it. "
"That is very possible. Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine that he would not be injured from the last attack."
Everyone was discussing outside, guessing why Nie Zhen was unharmed.
If Nie Zhen had received this attack while being riddled with scars, there wouldn't have been any problems for everyone. However, Nie Zhen was completely unharmed and didn't even burn his hair. This was very depressing.
How could they possibly imagine that Nie Zhen's flesh and blood had already been modified by the Divine King's bloodline? A mere Sky Cracking Thunder was not enough to break Nie Zhen's body.
"Heh heh... Number two, it seems like this Nie Zhen has many secrets … Although the power of the Sky Thunder Tribulations was greatly weakened by Nie Zhen's Spiritual Sense attack, it would be impossible for the body to withstand it if it had not been specially trained. " Fourth Sect Master's eyes were sharp like a torch. He could tell that Nie Zhen's physical body level was not low. It could even be said that he was very strong. However, he could not figure out the specific reason.
Second Sect Master Duan Rong shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Don't ask me. Actually, I don't know Nie Zhen as much as you do... "I think that perhaps he has refined some kind of body refining medicinal pill. After all, according to that old man Tian Huo, his strength in the Pill Dao might have already surpassed his."
Great Sect Master nodded and smiled, "It doesn't matter. Nie Zhen is a disciple of my Duobao Sect, so the deeper he hides, the more cards he can't be more beneficial to the sect, right?"
On the stage, the most horrifying thing was Xia Mao himself, who was completely unscathed after using the Sky Tribulation Lightning. When he saw Nie Zhen calmly walk out of the smoke, he was so scared that his jaw dropped.
Xia Mao knew better than anyone how powerful this move was. He was confident that even if First Senior Brother and Qin Wuyan faced this move, although he could dodge it, he would not be able to face it head on with his physical body.
In other words, in terms of physical toughness, Nie Zhen was even stronger than First Senior Brother!
Suddenly, a thought that would even shock him appeared in Xia Mao's mind: Maybe … He really could defeat Brother Qin Wuyan...1
"Pah pah pah …" Xia Mao couldn't help but applaud Nie Zhen as he looked at him. He clapped and laughed, "Hahaha... Powerful... This time, I truly admire you. This heavenly tribulation thunder tribulation is my strongest move, and since this move has been broken by you, then I do not have the ability to fight with you anymore.
Xia Mao said this confidently. Before the battle, he had been exterminated by Nie Zhen, and now that he knew he was not as good as Nie Zhen in actual combat, he simply admitted defeat.
The moment Xia Mao said this, it caused a sensation among the surrounding disciples.
"Did you hear that?!" "Brother Xia Mao admitted defeat!"
"Senior Brother Nie is too valiant! "His strength is so great that even senior brother Xia Mao is ashamed of his inferiority!"
"You must know, last year, Senior Brother Xia did not admit defeat even when he was facing Qin First Senior Brother!"
Last year, Xia Mao met Qin Wuyan. Although he knew that he was no match for Qin Wuyan, Xia Mao still fought to the last moment and did not take the initiative to admit defeat.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xia, for letting me win." Nie Zhen cupped his hands towards Xia Mao and smiled.
"After today's battle, I have quite a bit of insight. After this battle, I will enter seclusion to comprehend the mysteries of the sword dao. If one day I reach the level of mastery in the way of the sword, I will definitely thank you for your advice today!" Xia Mao gave Nie Zhen a respectful salute and then jumped off the stage. Then, he actually left straight away.
At this time, a Duobao Sect Elder shouted in Xia Mao's direction: "Xia Mao, although you have admitted defeat, there are still a few battles that you have yet to compete with. Quickly come back, otherwise, your ranking will have no effect!"
However, Xia Mao didn't stop and said confidently: "Hahahaha! One or two results are nothing, just do as you see fit! I have a new understanding of my own Sword Truth. If I do not go into seclusion now, I might regret it for the rest of my life! "
Nie Zhen looked at Xia Mao's back as he left and muttered in his heart, "This Xia Mao is quite intelligent." Nie Zhen looked at Xia Mao's back as he left and muttered in his heart, "This Xia Mao is quite intelligent.
Xia Mao's departure made the higher ups of Duobao Sect feel extremely awkward, because they didn't know how to rank the following rankings for him.
Speaking of which, with Xia Mao's strength and how little injury he had suffered from this battle with Nie Zhen, as long as he participated in the following matches, he would definitely be able to get the 9th place.
However, if Xia Mao did not participate in the following matches, logically, he should be considered as having given up. His ranking would immediately be at the bottom, becoming the sixteenth place. He could be considered the sixteenth place due to Xia Mao's strength …
In the end, after discussion with all the sect heads, they unanimously determined that Xia Mao would be ranked 16th according to the rules of the competition.
After all, Xia Mao was taking the initiative to forfeit, so he had to take responsibility for his words and actions.
At this moment, everyone finally remembered that Nie Zhen had killed his way into the top eight.
Nie Zhen participated in the annual examination as an Advanced Disciple. On the way, he passed through all the stages and finally killed his way into the top ten core disciples.
In other words, Nie Zhen had completely broken First Senior Brother and Qin Wuyan's previous record.
Although this didn't mean that Nie Zhen could definitely defeat Qin Wuyan, but based on Nie Zhen's current performance and talent, wouldn't he be able to surpass Qin Wuyan in the next ten years or even five years? No one could guarantee that.
At least, Nie Zhen's current performance was not any worse than Qin Wuyan in the past. In fact, he was even more outstanding than him.
Nie Zhen had already broken the record set by First Senior Brother, Qin Wuyan. The only suspense of the core disciple competition was, how far can Nie Zhen go? If he were to meet Qin Wuyan, would Qin Wuyan forcefully suppress Nie Zhen, and protect his dignity as Duobao Sect's number one disciple, or would his position be occupied by Nie Zhen, the super dark horse?
It was worth mentioning that the second and third disciples of the second sect master's bloodline, Yin Nian and Jian Yong, had to stay outside of the eighth place because of the strength of their opponents. Although they had to stay outside of the eighth place because of the strength of their opponents, but because they had to follow Master Duan Rong's instructions and kept their strength, they didn't fight to the death with their opponents in the previous battles.
Of course, this was all thanks to Xia Mao's withdrawal. Otherwise, the two of them would not be Xia Mao's match.
Therefore, a scene that Duan Rong did not expect happened. In this year's core disciple competition, four of his disciples had actually killed their way into the top ten. This was a result he could not even dream of!
