This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Four individuals stood side by side, each emitting an aura that made the genius cultivators among the spectators swallow their saliva secretly.

Zhou Yuan's Nascent Soul Cultivation and mysterious unpredictability, Lu Qingshan's exceptional internal and external prowess, Mo Yan's three types of Netherfire, and Bai Guandao's Space True Intention, each had their unique methods, instilling deep respect in others.

Seven high-ranking cultivators from the Taoist Sect quickly discussed and decided on the next round's matchups.

"The fifth round of the platform battle has ended, and the sixth round will begin in two hours.

This round of platform battle is the quarterfinals, with no one getting a bye," the Saintly Xavier announced once again, his voice booming like thunder, "The matchups for the sixth round are now set.

On platform one, Mo Yan will battle Zhou Yuan.

On platform two, Lu Qingshan will battle Bai Guandao."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan merely glanced indifferently at Mo Yan and made no further gestures, seemingly not holding Mo Yan in high regard.

Mo Yan did not take it to heart, and he somewhat regretfully said to Lu Qingshan, "Brother Lu, it seems that in this Seven Domains Discourse, I will not have the chance to spar with you on the same stage."

Even with all his confidence, he did not believe that he could defeat Zhou Yuan, who was at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, with his own Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivation.

Besides, he was satisfied to have made it this far.

The only regret was that he had not managed to exchange blows with Lu Qingshan.

...

The two hours of rest soon passed, and the new round of the competition officially began.

Unlike before, the battles were no longer held simultaneously but took turns instead.

At this moment, everyone wanted to clearly see every detail of the battles.

And with just two battles taking place, taking turns would not waste too much time.

The first match was between Lu Qingshan and Bai Guandao on platform two.

Lu Qingshan leaped up and entered platform two, where Bai Guandao was already waiting.

As both competitors took their positions on the platform, all the spectators watched intently, afraid to miss any spectacular moments.

As for the outcome between Lu Qingshan and Bai Guandao, people had their own opinions, but invariably, Sword Cultivators tended to favor Lu Qingshan, while Dharma Cultivators favored Bai Guandao.

The mentality of sticking together and forming cliques was unavoidable even among cultivators.

By now, Lu Qingshan had decidedly become the leader in the hearts of all the eliminated Sword Cultivators.

They naturally wanted Lu Qingshan to go further as a representative of the Sword Cultivators.

Spirit Moon had even become an ardent supporter, clenching her fists tightly, showing an incredibly strong sense of immersion, looking as if she was the one fighting on the stage.

Seeing Lu Qingshan ascend the platform, Bai Guandao nodded slightly to Lu Qingshan, greeting him with the courtesy of a cultivator, "Cultivator Lu."

Having fought his way to the sixth round of the platform battle, Bai Guandao certainly did not underestimate Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan offered his salutations in return.

"The match begins!" Seeing that both competitors were in place and ready, the Saintly Xavier announced loudly.

With the declaration by the Saintly Xavier, Bai Guandao immediately restrained the smile on his face.

A dark golden long sword appeared behind him.

This was Bai Guandao's Attack Magic Artifact.

With a thought from Bai Guandao, the long sword, accompanied by a clanging sound, instantly transformed into six sharp blades that danced around his body.

Go!

Bai Guandao gave a low shout, and the six blades, flashing with a cold light, vanished from Lu Qingshan's sight.

The next moment, they reappeared just inches away from Lu Qingshan's neck.

The power of instantaneous movement with Space True Intention!

Lu Qingshan felt a chill down his spine, but he was well-prepared for such a situation.

At the moment the suspended saint announced the beginning of the competition, he had already deployed the Five Elements Sword Armor.

Clang, clang, clang!

As expected, the Five Elements Sword Armor, capable of withstanding attacks from Nascent Soul Cultivators, easily blocked the assault of those six Sharp Blades.

Whoosh!

Lu Qingshan was not to be outdone, quickly retaliating.

The Peach Blossom Sword turned into a streak of gray light and dashed out, circling in the air before slashing towards Bai Guandao.

Bai Guandao's eyes shone with amazement; he naturally understood the power of Lu Qingshan's Flying Sword—contact with it would surely be unpleasant for him.

But despite his surprise, he did not fear it.

Thud! Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

Just as the gray light from the Peach Blossom Sword came slashing overhead and was about to strike him, Bai Guandao suddenly vanished on the spot, reappearing dozens of feet away.

Brilliant light flickered as mystical ripples emanated from the Peach Blossom Sword, clanging like a bolt of lightning, pursuing Bai Guandao.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Bai Guandao's figure constantly shifted, effortlessly dodging the attacks of the Peach Blossom Sword, while manipulating the six Sharp Blades to launch unforeseen attacks at Lu Qingshan.

"This Space True Intention at the Golden Core stage is indeed troublesome," Lu Qingshan's eyes narrowed slightly as he murmured, "Fortunately, I'm not completely without countermeasures."

The next moment, hundreds of Sword Qi Filaments spread from within his body, but they did not form an attack; rather, they slipped into the void and disappeared, hidden and untriggered.

"What does this mean?" The watching cultivators viewed this scene, all quite perplexed.

"This young man has an outstanding combat sense and reaction." Seeing this, the Taibai Sword Master instantly discerned Lu Qingshan's intentions and imperceptibly nodded in approval.

On the stage, the battle abruptly intensified.

Bai Guandao once again used spatial teleportation to dodge the sky-shaking attack of the Peach Blossom Sword, but before he could catch his breath, his face turned pale.

That was because, at the supposed safe teleportation spot he had chosen, the sound of whooshing suddenly erupted as several Sword Qi Filaments suddenly appeared, striking his Protective Spiritual Power unexpectedly and causing his figure to stagger.

And the Peach Blossom Sword seized the opportunity during his stagger when he couldn't react in time, striking like a comet streaking across the sky, and directly chopped at him.

Spiritual Power dispersed, and light shimmered; although he managed to block this strike with his Protective Spiritual Power, the wave of attacks still left Bai Guandao feeling a sudden upheaval of his Qi-Blood.

Following this, many watching cultivators finally understood the purpose behind Lu Qingshan's recent actions.

"He actually spread hundreds of Sword Qi Filaments, scattering them across the space of the stage, like traps that are everywhere.

Bai Guandao, whenever he teleports across the stage, might inadvertently spring into Lu Qingshan's Sword Qi trap!" Cao Xiaoxin, also watching from below, murmured as he watched the scene.

As someone who had been eliminated by Lu Qingshan's Myriad Swords Art, he understood even more the power contained within the Sword Qi Filaments controlled by Lu Qingshan.

"With the Sword Qi Filaments restraining Bai Guandao, he can no longer freely maneuver and toy with Lu Qingshan's Flying Sword as before."

Lu Qingshan's Flying Sword was the fastest, surpassing all other cultivators' techniques in the Seven Domains competition; just a slight delay could allow it to strike.

This also accounted for one of the restrictions of the platform battle.

Although the space of the stage was designed to be very large in order to allow the cultivators plenty of scope to maneuver, its area was still limited.

This allowed Lu Qingshan to adequately lay out the Sword Qi Filaments, covering the entire space quite extensively.

At this point, Bai Guandao too had grasped the situation, his expression growing grave.

If he was unable to use teleportation freely, it's as if one of his arms was disabled, greatly reducing his combat power.

Clang!

His Magic Artifact transformed into six Sharp Blades and once again collided with Lu Qingshan's Sword Armor, sparking Spiritual Power but still failing to injure Lu Qingshan.

Bai Guandao bit his teeth in frustration.

What kind of Sword Cultivator was this? He was even more enduring and tougher than a Body Cultivator!
