Chapter 1277 - 1377: The Second Battle

However, Ye Tianfan didn't have to wait long before the third match began.

Everyone here was a Cultivator, and none of them had expended much energy. As a result, the matches proceeded quickly one after another. After all, they didn't need to eat or rest, and most importantly, even though it seemed like only a short amount of time had passed, a whole day had already gone by. While Ye Tianfan's match was short, some people's matches lasted quite a while. Since they were not using techniques that consumed a lot of Spiritual Power, no one had any objections to the rapid progression of matches.

Moreover, even after the competition ended, they could continue their battles. As some people were eager to fight those they had long wished to face in combat!

After merging, the third round transformed into thirty-two arenas, each large enough for anyone to showcase their abilities.

Ye Tianfan flew to the arena and saw Senior Brother Yun Tian landing there as well, unsure of what to say, he just looked at him with a mischievous smile.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Tianfan. Your senior brother here is not weak, so you shouldn't hold back. Let me see how big the gap is between us," Senior Brother Yun Tian said, noticing Ye Tianfan's mischievous gaze, a few cross lines appeared on his forehead.

However, Senior Brother Yun Tian truly wanted to know how much of a gap still existed between him and Ye Tianfan. Back in their first battle during the Nine Meridians Martial Gathering, he easily suppressed Ye Tianfan. And now, he felt that Ye Tianfan might just turn the tables, suppressing him with ease!

Ye Tianfan nodded, deciding to use sixty percent of his strength against Senior Brother Yun Tian. After all, Senior Brother Yun Tian wouldn't go all out either, considering this was just an entertainment spar, not a real martial battle!

Below, Celestial Master Taichu saw that the people on the stage were ready, shouted for the match to begin, and then instantly appeared back in the viewing area.

On the stage.

"Then I'll start!"

As Ye Tianfan spoke, he took a step back, formed a Sword Technique with his right hand, and summoned an Immortal Sword three feet long, emitting a crimson light. Seeing this sword, Senior Brother Yun Tian immediately recognized it as the Fire Lotus Sword!

After summoning the Fire Lotus Sword, Ye Tianfan saw Senior Brother Yun Tian form a Spell with his left hand, summoning eight Immortal Swords—his Magical Treasure, the Seven-Star Sword. Without waiting for Ye Tianfan to speak, Yun Tian attacked first, pointing at Ye Tianfan. In an instant, a green light flashed like lightning, and the Seven-Star Sword surged forward with a large green torrent, along with seven smaller torrents, heading straight for Ye Tianfan.

Though this scene looked exaggerated, giving an impression of immense power, its actual power was indeed great but only to those at the Myriad Mysteries Realm. For Ye Tianfan, it was something he could easily deflect.

Ye Tianfan hadn't expected Senior Brother Yun Tian to launch an attack right away without even a word, which showed a lack of confidence. As the Seven-Star Sword approached quickly, Ye Tianfan hurriedly stepped back twice, pointed forward with both hands, and the Fire Lotus Sword in front of him instantly radiated a brilliant light, rushing forward with a swish.

The crimson torrent generated by the Fire Lotus Sword collided with the green torrent from the Seven-Star Sword at the center of the stage with a "bang." Senior Brother Yun Tian was pushed back a few steps but quickly regained his footing, while the two Magic Swords were locked in a deadlock at the center of the arena.

Celestial Master Taichu, watching from below, frowned upon seeing this, realizing that Ye Tianfan hadn't used much of his strength, not even fifty percent, while his disciple Yun Tian was using eighty to ninety percent. This meant Ye Tianfan was holding back significantly!

"You..." Senior Brother Yun Tian clearly felt Ye Tianfan holding back because he didn't believe Ye Tianfan's strength was so limited. Even if Ye Tianfan wasn't using his full power, he couldn't be this weak!

Darn it, although we don't have to use our full strength, we should at least be using seventy or eighty percent. You are holding back so much, I don't need you to go easy on me. I just want to see the gap between us. I know I can't win, but I don't want you to hold back so much!

Senior Brother Yun Tian went all out, pouring a large amount of Spiritual Power into the Seven-Star Sword.

On the stage, the two Magic Swords, originally in a stalemate, began to tilt at this moment. Senior Brother Yun Tian took a step forward, face solemn, chanting under his breath, then shouted, "Fast!"

Suddenly, the green torrent advanced, pressing against Ye Tianfan's Fire Lotus Sword, while the other seven sub-swords ignored the ongoing deadlock with Ye Tianfan's Magic Sword. They rocketed skyward and, in a flash, hurtled towards Ye Tianfan himself. The swords flew with the speed of the wind, and even before they touched down, a fierce gale was already whipping around.

The consequence of this move was that the main sword of Senior Brother Yun Tian's Seven-Star Sword began slowly tilting backward!

Senior Brother Yun Tian knew this attack wouldn't harm Ye Tianfan, as he would have ways to dodge it. However, Yun Tian just wanted Ye Tianfan to understand that there was no need to hold back, just fight normally. After all, this was just an entertainment spar, holding back too much was unnecessary.

Ye Tianfan saw the seven sub-swords speeding towards him. Although they seemed about to hit him, he remained unflustered, showing no intention of retreating. He formed a Sword Finger with his left hand, causing a Fire Lotus to appear beside him, the whole flower emitting a crimson glow, then covering towards the seven sub-swords!

At this moment, Ye Tianfan's Fire Lotus Sword was still pressing against the main sword of the Seven-Star Sword, and the Fire Lotus he released, instantly and swiftly in the eyes of the incredulous Senior Brother Yun Tian, enveloped the seven sub-swords, leaving no trace of them uncovered!

Is Junior Brother Tianfan truly this strong?

Senior Brother Yun Tian watched in disbelief. He knew Ye Tianfan was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this powerful, that even causing him a little trouble was impossible. His Magical Treasure's attack was easily neutralized by Ye Tianfan, and he couldn't even connect with the seven sub-swords now!

There's no way to continue fighting; he's definitely not an opponent. Even though he used all his strength, Junior Brother Tianfan could easily end the battle. There's truly no contest!
