543, Sect Exchange Conference (Part 6)

The match officially began with the announcement from the elderly referee, with the disciples of Gu Shangzong and Ten Thousand Swords Village taking the stage first.

Gu Shangzong and Ten Thousand Swords Village's disciples each stood on one side, their eyes sharply fixed on each other. As soon as they heard the referee's announcement, they charged forward without hesitation, like agile cheetahs, launching an attack on their opponent.

The strength of the two forces was closely matched, and their fierce battle won cheers from the crowd below.

The duel lasted nearly half an hour. After one disciple from Ten Thousand Swords Village was defeated, the others began to retreat. As expected, the disciples of Gu Shangzong emerged as the victors of the first round.

Following the end of the first round, a new one commenced.

This time, the competing forces were mismatched in strength, and within a few minutes, one side had already been beaten back.
