From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 122 Tianwu Battles Kunlun

Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of fantasy novels.

The next morning, Tianwu Mountain was teeming with people.

This battle between Tianwu Mountain and Kunlun Ruins has attracted a lot of attention. Not only people from Tianwu Mountain and Kunlun Ruins, but also powerful figures from other surrounding sects have sent people to watch the battle.

After all, Tianwu Mountain and Kunlun Ruins are considered strong among these sects.

Although Tianwu Mountain has declined in recent years, its ancient majesty remains undiminished.

Even though all the sects know that Tianwu Mountain is not what it used to be, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and everyone is worried that this once mighty tiger still has some strength left.

This slight reserve could potentially put them at a disadvantage when facing Tianwu Mountain. It is precisely for this reason that Tianwu Mountain remains largely unchallenged.

But at the same time, everyone is also looking forward to it. A sect like Tianwu Mountain with a long history naturally has many things that people envy.

Although they dare not provoke it now, if one day Tianwu Mountain shows signs of fatigue, they would not mind tearing this dying tiger apart like a pack of wolves, devouring its flesh and blood to grow stronger.

Kunlunxu understood this, which is why Taixuzi came.

Tianwu Mountain understood this as well, so everyone's expression was very solemn.

The Tianwu Mountain camp was located there. The Tianwu Mountain Lord looked down at the many disciples below. Although these disciples all had determination in their eyes, their expressions also showed a hint of desolation, because everyone knew the gap between themselves and these Kunlun Ruins disciples.

Before even meeting these Kunlun Ruins disciples, many people held some hope, believing that they were not actually that weak.

However, once they actually saw the disciples of Kunlun Ruins and realized that there were seven or eight experts in Kunlun Ruins who had already entered the True Qi Realm, everyone's confidence completely dissipated at this moment.

The strongest among them had only opened seven or eight of the twelve major acupoints. Against a powerful expert who had completely entered the realm of true qi, they had almost no power to resist. In other words, they were destined to lose this battle and had no hope of victory whatsoever.

The master of Tianwu Mountain looked at his disciples below and then slowly spoke:

"Just do your best in this battle."

It should be understood that the path of martial arts is not in the present moment, but in the long term.

Today's temporary setback is nothing; where we go in the future will not be affected by today's events.

While Kunlun Ruins may indeed be stronger overall than Tianwu Mountain now, that doesn't mean they will achieve greater things in the future.

The master of Tianwu Mountain spoke.

His voice was calm, seemingly conveying a sense of composure. But everyone knew that his words were more of a consolation than a practical statement.

On the path of martial arts, if you take one step too slowly, you will always be slower.

Their Tianwu Mountain has declined, not only failing to recruit better talented disciples, but also receiving fewer resources than Kunlun Ruins. Under these circumstances, they are already a step behind, so how can they possibly surpass them in the future? Surpassing them is simply too difficult.

Even so, everyone's eyes remained firm.

Unlike other sects, almost all disciples of Tianwu Mountain regard it as their true home.

Even the Zhou siblings, who had only recently joined Tianwu Mountain, shared the same hatred for the enemy as everyone else at this moment.

After exchanging a few words, the Lord of Tianwu Mountain did not hesitate and stepped onto the high platform. Meanwhile, the elders of Tianwu Mountain, including Cang Xuanwu, led many disciples to the Tianwu Mountain camp.

Opposite them, Taixuzi sat calmly, looking at the people of Tianwu Mountain with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The person beside him said to Taixuzi, "It seems that the situation of Tianwu Mountain is much worse than we imagined. We originally thought that even if Tianwu Mountain was a starved camel, it would still have some foundation."

I thought that a few disciples among them would be able to reach the True Qi Realm, but I didn't expect that not a single one would reach the True Qi Realm.

"It seems that our Kunlun Ruins' large-scale mobilization this time, summoning almost all of our elite disciples, has overestimated Tianwu Mountain."

Upon hearing these words, the others from Kunlun Ruins couldn't help but laugh. Taixuzi, however, spoke calmly:

"Tianwu Mountain is indeed not as powerful as it used to be, but we should not underestimate it. Even a broken ship has three nails, let alone a force like Tianwu Mountain."

Who knows what kind of hidden resources lie within Tianwu Mountain? We can't see these resources unless the sect is in dire straits.

Taixuzi sneered before continuing:

"Even if we can't do anything to Tianwu Mountain this time, as time goes by, all forces will realize how ridiculous Tianwu Mountain is now."

It's foolish for only Kunlunxu to oppose Tianwu Mountain, but it would be different if all forces did the same.

Sooner or later, Tianwu Mountain will become history, and my Kunlun Ruins will step over its corpse and advance further to become the number one sect in Qianzhou.

Upon hearing Taixuzi's words, the others around him nodded in agreement.

Although they are already quite good in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are still incomparable to the entire Great Zhou.

However, this was not the case in Qianzhou.

Although there are some sects that are comparable to them, such as the Guiyuan Sword Realm, which is also in Qianzhou.

There are more disciples in the Guiyuan Sword Realm than in their Kunlun Ruins. Among them, the swords that wield killing power are especially the seven sword masters, each of whom is exceptionally strong.

Apart from the newly appointed Sword Master of Raging Waves, the others are all quite powerful, even surpassing those in their Kunlun Ruins.

In other words, Guiyuan Sword Realm is the number one sect in Qianzhou, while Kunlun Ruins is slightly weaker.

However, if they can make use of the resources of Tianwu Mountain, Kunlun Ruins will definitely be able to seize this opportunity to surpass Guiyuan Sword Realm and become the number one sect in Qianzhou.

By then, they would be ranked among the top in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

A deep ambition gleamed in everyone's eyes.

Taixuzi sneered, then looked at Cang Xuanwu.

He did have his own selfish motives this time, wanting to teach Cang Xuanwu a lesson and show him the consequences of offending him. However, his purpose in coming here was also for the sake of the sect.

From this day forward, Kunlunxu will surely become famous by stepping on Tianwu Mountain.

Then, Taixuzi spoke in a cold voice:

"Lord of Tianwu Mountain, too much time has passed, why don't we begin?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Tianwu Mountain, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded.

There's no point in procrastinating.

So he responded loudly in return:

"In that case, the martial arts competition between Kunlun Ruins and my Tianwu Mountain shall officially begin. All disciples who wish to participate in the competition must have been members of the sect for less than three years. This competition is solely for the exchange and verification of martial arts techniques between the two sides. Therefore, intentional killing is strictly prohibited; violators will be punished at the very least, and at worst expelled from the sect."

He had barely finished speaking when Taixuzi quickly added:

"Cang Xuanwu, who do you plan to send out for this first battle?"

He stared straight at Cang Xuanwu, clearly targeting him.

Cang Xuanwu looked at the disciples behind him. Although they were all eager to try, he pointed to one person who had already opened five major acupoints and was already ranked among the top in their Tianwu Mountain.

Having received the instruction, the disciple did not hesitate, leaping onto the arena. He then looked at the disciples of Kunlun Ruins and said:

"Zhao Xuan of Tianwu Mountain, I wonder which fellow Daoist from Kunlun Ruins is willing to fight me?"

"I'll do it!"

A loud roar rang out, and then a person jumped out and appeared on the arena.

The moment this person appeared, everyone's expression changed slightly.

The man before him possessed a powerful aura; although he wasn't one of the seven or eight experts who had already reached the True Qi Realm, his strength was clearly considerable. He then looked at Zhao Xuan, grinned, and said:

"Ji Yang of Kunlun Ruins, having opened nine acupoints, is willing to fight you, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing about the nine acupoints, Zhao Xuan's expression changed slightly.

The differences between the four major acupoints are not so easily bridged.

But now that he was on the stage, he had no other choice. He took a deep breath, then drew his sword and assumed a fighting stance.

On the other side, Ji Yang did the same. With a command, the two of them charged towards each other.

Zhao Xuan unleashed his strongest killing move, because he knew very well that given the difference in the four major acupoints between the two sides, a prolonged battle was absolutely impossible, and he would undoubtedly lose if he did.

Therefore, the only chance is to defeat the opponent with absolute power before they have a firm foothold; this is my only chance of victory.

Ji Yang was indeed somewhat flustered by Zhao Xuan's sudden attack, but he was no pushover after all.

He quickly calmed down, and in that instant, Zhao Xuan was naturally no match for him.

In just over a dozen moves, Zhao Xuan was forced to retreat dozens of steps.

Just as he was gathering his strength to counterattack, Ji Yang appeared in front of him without him even noticing, placing a sword against his neck. With just a light slash, he could kill him.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhao Xuan's face darkened.

Although unwilling, all he could say was, "I lost."

He was originally quite confident in himself.

Although his skill level wasn't very high, he possessed a decent swordsmanship.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been the first to go on stage.

However, to his surprise, the other side did not even send out those disciples who had reached the True Qi Realm, but only sent out a person who had opened nine acupoints, and defeated him.

Cang Xuanwu sighed upon seeing this scene.

This result was not unexpected, but when he looked at his disciples behind him, he could not see any chance of victory.

Several more battles ensued, but Tianwu Mountain lost almost every time because the other side would always send out stronger disciples.

As time went on, everyone's mood grew increasingly somber; they could no longer see any hope.

Just then, Zhou Yan stepped forward and said, "I'll go!"

His expression was resolute, but Cang Xuanwu, seeing this, paused for a moment, then hesitated and said:

"You've only opened the first acupoint, how can you advance?"

With such strength, he wouldn't even be enough to defeat the weakest opponent, so going up now would naturally be of no use.

Zhou Yan, holding the Black Demon Blade, looked at the group opposite him and said:

"I only opened one acupoint, so naturally they won't send any powerful experts. I'm only going there to prove that Tianwu Mountain is not without its share of experts."

Could it be that they could send a powerful expert at the True Qi Realm to fight me?

Zhou Yan's expression was resolute.

He thought of Qin Wu.

Qin Wu had demonstrated his strength in front of him before.

Both were at the Meridian Opening Realm. However, Qin Wu was able to stand before those truly powerful individuals despite only possessing the strength of the Meridian Opening Realm.

If Qin Wu were here right now, he would never have seen Tianwu Mountain so desolate.

However, Qin Wu has not yet returned, so he naturally cannot diminish the prestige of Tianwu Mountain!

After hearing Zhou Yan's words, Cang Xuanwu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Then, Zhou Yan leaped to the center of the arena and looked at the disciples of Kunlun Ruins: "Black Demon Blade Zhou Yan has only opened one acupoint, but I would like to ask fellow Daoists of Kunlun Ruins for guidance, to witness the strength of Kunlun Ruins, and to verify my martial arts."

When Zhou Yan came out, everyone was stunned. They never expected that Tianwu Mountain would send out such a weakling.

However, Taixuzi then frowned: "Tianwu Mountain is quite clever, sending out such a youngster. Although it makes Tianwu Mountain lose face, Tianwu Mountain doesn't have much face to speak of anyway. But now that they've sent someone who has only opened one acupoint, if Kunlun Ruins sends out a stronger expert, it would seem like Kunlun Ruins is bullying the weak."

"Elder, I'll go!"

One person stepped forward.

This person has opened three acupoints, making him the weakest among the disciples of Kunlun Ruins.

Taixuzi nodded.

Then, the man leaped to the center of the arena and said, "Guo Xun, open three acupoints. Among the disciples from Kunlun Ruins this time, I am the weakest. I really can't find anyone at the same level as you."

Guo Xun spoke with a smile.

"It's alright."

Zhou Yan nodded.

At the very moment the two sides clashed, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes.

The enemy was stronger than him, but the difference in the three acupoints was not absolute.

These three acupoints can enhance the opponent's explosive power, but that's all.

As long as neither side has fully entered the realm of true qi, a battle between them is inevitable. However, he has no intention of getting entangled with his opponent.

"Break water!"

The moment the two made contact, Zhou Yan roared and unleashed the Water-Severing Flowing Blade Technique.

This sword technique was a unique skill he learned after joining Tianwu Mountain.

Although it has been a short time, no one knows that he has already mastered this sword technique to a minor degree.

Xiao Cheng's Water-Cutting Flow Blade Technique, combined with his already proficient swordsmanship, is enough to be his trump card.

His title of Black Demon Blade comes from his exceptional talent in swordsmanship!

In an instant, a loud clang rang out.

Zhou Yan stood still, while his opponent was sent flying backward, his sword broken in two.

The faces of the people in Kunlun Ruins were gloomy, and Taixuzi gripped the handrail even tighter.

They lost! They actually lost!
