Understanding this point, Lin Tianyun had already made up his mind at this mont.
With his thoughts slightly cleared, Lin Tianyun then turned his gaze and began to focus on the situation around.
Looking along his line of sight, the scene was relatively calm, with many cultivators showing sowhat complex expressions.
In such a scene, it’s hard to tell if it’s because Lin Tianyun’s strength is too formidable, leaving so people still in shock, or if so cultivators are too fearful, which is why they display a look of terror.
Lin Tianyun paid no attention to this scenario.
It was around this ti that Xu Zuo looked at Lin Tianyun and the others and then stepped forward again to break the silence.
Next, Xu Zuo continued to host the duel proceeding.
The eighth duel involves the representative of the Five Poison Sect, Liu Hongming, and Zhang Shun from Jiuyou Gate.
The attending cultivators were eagerly anticipating this round of the duel.
After all, Jiuyou Gate cos from the Cultivation World of Xitang Country, and its sect’s overall strength is not weak, otherwise, it wouldn’t be one of the organizer powers.
And Jiuyou Gate’s representative for the duel is undoubtedly Zhang Shun, who participated in the encirclent of the Earth Armor Dragon earlier.
As for their opponent, whether it’s the sect’s overall strength or the Five Poison Sect’s representative for the duel, Liu Hongming, his strength is said to be just second to those few organizer strengths.
Looking at the strength of this round’s duel representatives, it’s definitely the group with the closest individual strength among these ten rounds of dueling.
It is foreseeable that the process of this round will indeed be very exciting.
Because of this, many cultivators’ expectations for the duel between the Five Poison Sect and Jiuyou Gate are second only to Lin Tianyun from the Lin Family facing Chen Shouyi from Biyun Sect.
Only after this eighth round of the duel ends, the remaining two group duels hold little interest.
If that’s the case, this first round of dueling should soon co to an end.
With such expectations, whether it’s Xu Zuo or Golden Core stage cultivators, they all looked at Zhang Shun from Jiuyou Gate and Liu Hongming from the Five Poison Sect.
Including Lin Tianyun, everyone showed a look of anticipation at this mont.
And at this ti, seeing the intense interest from around, Liu Hongming from the Five Poison Sect didn’t hesitate any longer.
So, Liu Hongming first leapt into the formation at an inconceivable speed.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Shun, on the other side, had a serious expression and soon took a step forward, imdiately slipping into the formation.
With the entry of both, the Third Order Great Array began to operate anew.
At this mont, Liu Hongming and Zhang Shun within the formation exchanged glances.
Looking on, Liu Hongming’s face remained calm, revealing no psychological state in his expression.
As for Zhang Shun on the other side, his expression was extrely serious, clearly showing imnse apprehension towards Liu Hongming, this cultivator specializing in poison.
Though apprehensive, Zhang Shun did not wish to easily encounter Liu Hongming either, but it was too late for further thoughts.
Moreover, the result of this first-round duel actually wasn’t that important.
According to the rules of the duel, even if one loses to an opponent in the first round, they can still challenge again in subsequent rounds.
Thus, if one wants to achieve a high final ranking, they must demonstrate true skill.
In such circumstances, even if soone easily wins the first round, showcasing enough power, they will also face amongst the most stringent tests in defense battle.
No one can avoid this inevitability.
Realizing this, Zhang Shun’s expression returned to calm.
Then, opposite him, Liu Hongming courteously cupped his hands, and then took the lead to attack.
At that mont, Liu Hongming swung his large hand, revealing a gourd with a crystalline bright surface in his hand.
Looking around, this gourd was only palm-sized, emitting a faint green glow throughout, resembling a jade gourd, looking quite petite.
Despite the ordinary appearance of the jade gourd, both Zhang Shun present and the cultivators observing knew that the gourd definitely wasn’t an ordinary treasure.
After all, Liu Hongming’s strength and achievents were tangible.
Judging by his cultivation strength, any treasure he uses must indeed be extraordinary.
Sure enough, as Liu Hongming fired beams of Spiritual Light accurately onto the jade gourd.
In an instant, a cloud of green smoke spewed out from the jade gourd, quickly coalescing in the open space of the great array, hanging suspended.
In just the blink of an eye, the quantity of the smoke swelled, soon covering about thirty percent of the formation’s area.
At that mont, Zhang Shun stood on the edge of the smoke-covered area.
Witnessing Liu Hongming’s direct action and his swift speed, Zhang Shun was indeed shocked.
Next, he was sure to face Liu Hongming’s various tactics.
Understanding this, Zhang Shun’s movents were not slow either.
In that instant, with a flick of his sleeve, a wholly blue longsword appeared in his hand.
Looking at it now, the longsword was one foot long, slim and delicate, exuding a unique aquatic blue color throughout.
Not only that, but the mont the longsword appeared, the wind suddenly howled in the sky, an extrely cold sword energy rampaged.
Judging by this commotion, Zhang Shun’s strength was similarly formidable, and the treasure used for his attack was certainly not an ordinary one.
Under such an imposing aura, the scene beca extrely tense.
Then, both Liu Hongming and Zhang Shun, the duel opponents, unleashed their attacks at this mont.
In an instant, Liu Hongming swung his hand, making a peculiar gesture.
Soon, the smoke above his head began to churn and rapidly surged toward Zhang Shun opposite him.
Seeing the massive smoke rushing forward, Zhang Shun, while his face was serious, imdiately retreated.
As he retreated, he controlled the blue longsword in hand, unleashing countless sword energies in a short ti, shooting straight at the smoke opposite.
Both of their attack speeds were swift, and the disturbance they caused was terrifying.
In no ti, light blood between heaven and earth, blue light and green smoke fused head-on, forming a special color streaking across the sky.
All the while, waves of massive sword energy stirred up air billows, spreading in all directions.
"Boom..."
Within the smoke and blue light, bursts of explosion sounds, and bursts of lodious sword humming could be heard.
At this mont, the spectators could only see blooming lights, unable to discern what’s happening within the smoke.
However, being the master of the smoke, Liu Hongming could still clearly see the scene inside.
In his view, the massive aquatic blue sword energy released a chilling aura, freezing many areas of the smoke.
Ultimately, many smoke portions turned into oily green raindrops, falling towards the ground.
Though the sword energy quantity was vast, the smoke quantity was even more astounding.
Even after such depletion, the smoke-covered range hardly shrank.
Moreover, as cold auras from the sword energy spread, the sword energy itself got corroded into vapor by the smoke, rapidly dissipating between heaven and earth.
When the commotion ceased, so smoke quantity decreased.
But now, in the sky, there wasn’t a trace of any sword energy shadow.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Shun couldn’t help but show a face of shock.
The vibration in his heart was considerable.
He was aware of his own abilities and techniques, having strong confidence in them.
Yet after this round of attacks concluded, his offense was effortlessly neutralized by the opponent, now leaving no trace.
On the contrary, Liu Hongming, his opponent, remained unchanged, only the smoke he had induced clearly diminished sowhat.
This result was indeed beyond what Zhang Shun had initially anticipated.
Yet Zhang Shun understood well that Liu Hongming, as a poisonous cultivator, must possess remarkable attack strategies.
In fact, the effect of Liu Hongming’s smoke was indeed exceedingly peculiar and eerie.
