Chapter 53: The Contest of the Top Six (Part3)

From a distance, Cangyue's figure overlapped with the fiery phoenix, and under the reflection of the blazing red lotus, she appeared like a goddess. The divine sword hovering above her head and the dazzling fire phoenix behind her complemented each other, creating a scene that evoked admiration from countless disciples present.

Calmly observing Cangyue across from him, Wumang uttered in a low voice, "Be careful, take my Yuqing Sword Technique." With that, the sword spinning above his head suddenly stopped and stood upright. A tremendous sword energy burst forth from the sword, accompanied by a dazzling blue sword aura, slashing fiercely towards Cangyue with the force to split mountains and overturn seas.

With a composed expression, Cangyue formed hand seals with both hands, causing the speed of the divine sword above her head to increase a hundredfold. The dense silver-yellow light emanating from it had transformed into a substantial beam, meeting Wumang's sword head-on and fiercely cleaving through it. The two immensely powerful and dazzling beams met in mid-air, generating an explosive force. Countless streams of colorful light, accompanied by dazzling radiance, scattered and danced in the explosion like butterflies fluttering in the air.

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the entire ground trembled. The powerful shockwaves created a large pit in the ground, and weaker disciples were forced back by the scattered true qi.

In mid-air, Cangyue's body radiated with light, pushed back three zhangs by the rebound force. Behind her, the fire phoenix shining with dazzling light was also shattered under the powerful impact. On the other side, Wumang was also pushed back three zhangs. However, his complexion was slightly pale, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and the true qi around his body fluctuated violently, indicating that he was at a disadvantage after unleashing his full strength.

Sweeping a glance at the disciples of the Daoist Academy, Wumang straightened his body, forming hand seals with both hands in front of his chest. His entire body erupted with a powerful light. When the radiant light reached its peak, Wumang roared loudly and his body suddenly began to rotate. His legs crossed into a sitting position, and his whole person seemed to be meditating, surrounded by a green light that instantly appeared in front of Cangyue.

With a solemn expression, Cangyue's entire body shimmered with a strong red light. The divine sword above her head, the Roaring Moon Divine Sword, spun like lightning, emitting a dazzling silver-yellow light shield distributed tightly around her body. Seeing Wumang suddenly appear beside her, Cangyue reached out her right hand and cleverly grasped the Roaring Moon Divine Sword. In a flash, a tremendously powerful crimson sword aura slashed towards Wumang. Just as the formidable sword aura approached Wumang, his seated figure suddenly flickered, instantly transforming into countless figures. Each figure had a sword-shaped dark blue light shining above its head, all simultaneously attacking Cangyue.

From the ground, Cangyue was surrounded by countless Wumangs. Countless dark blue swords shimmering with dazzling light formed a vast sword net, enveloping Cangyue in the range of the attack. On the ground, the disciples of the Daoist Academy rejoiced, while those from the Phoenix Academy exclaimed in surprise. Clearly, they had not expected Wumang to possess such a miraculous and ingenious technique. Beside them, Aoxue and Lin Yunfeng, upon seeing this, exchanged caring and worried glances, silently rooting for Cangyue.

Glancing at Lin Yunfeng, Aoxue whispered, "Don't worry, with Cangyue's cultivation and the assistance of the Five-Colored Fairy Orchid, she has already surpassed Wumang from the Daoist Academy. So in this battle, Cangyue will never lose." Looking at Aoxue, Lin Yunfeng nodded softly, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. Turning his gaze back to Cangyue, Aoxue calmly stated, "I believe she will win." With just these words, they said no more.

In mid-air, Cangyue's body descended rapidly under the powerful explosive force, being pushed back three zhangs and swaying continuously. Her beautiful jade face was now pale, her eyes dull. Obviously, Wumang's unexpected full-force attack had caused Cangyue to be seriously injured in the hurried confrontation.

On the opposite side, Wumang was sent flying into the air, a bright and dazzling blood blossom floating in the air. In mid-air, Wumang's body trembled violently, his meridians severely damaged, and he fell towards the ground powerless. At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes dim, blood continuously flowing from his mouth, and he had reached the point of being unable to struggle.

Cangyue gently landed beside Wumang, her pale face carrying a calm expression as she asked softly, "Are you alright?" Wumang shook his head slightly and replied, "Thank you, I'm fine. I'll recover in a few days." Without saying a word, Cangyue simply glanced at him before turning and walking towards the edge of the arena.

Suddenly, cheers erupted from the crowd outside, with countless disciples of the Sky Sword Academy cheering loudly for Cangyue. High-level practitioners from the Sky Sword Academy, the Bodhi Academy, the Confucian Garden, and the Yi Garden all looked at Cangyue, considering the final outcome. Cangyue's victory meant that she had a chance to compete for the first place, but what about her battle with Jian Wuchen?

Here, Seventh Xuanyuan sighed softly, ordering someone to bring Wumang back while saying to Jade Unparalleled, "Congratulations, Jade Sect Leader. Once again, your Phoenix Academy has made a name for itself in the cultivation world."

With a faint smile, Jade Unparalleled looked at Cangyue and said softly, "It's just a fluke for Cangyue." Then, countless congratulations and praises came from the mouths of the other sect leaders. For a moment, the Phoenix Academy was filled with joy.

Looking at Cangyue, Jade Unparalleled smiled and said, "Well done. Cangyue, you are truly the pride of our Phoenix Academy. Go and heal your injuries quickly. Your master is proud of you, and you are my pride." Cangyue nodded gently, then was supported by Xu Jie and went to heal her injuries.

The second match ended with Cangyue's victory for the Phoenix Academy. The remaining third match was shrouded in uncertainty. Would it be Lin Yunfeng's victory, or Zhang Aoxue's? Both of them came from the Yi Garden, but who had a slightly higher cultivation level?
