Zhou Taiping's announcement fell.
Dao Wuming, who had been resting with his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes slowly.
His eyes sparkled with brilliance, like two bright stars, extremely radiant and dazzling.
The boring guard duty finally ended, and he could finally defeat Mu Jinyu and a few others and take the first place in this year's Four Sects Martial Meeting.
However, before he had a chance to challenge Mu Jinyu, who he was most interested in…
Di Shitian, who wished he could swallow Mu Jinyu whole, shouted, "Mu Jinyu, come on!"
"Hmm?"
Dao Wuming saw this, and it wasn't appropriate to challenge Mu Jinyu anymore; both wanting to challenge Mu Jinyu would lower his status and elevate the opponent too much.
So, Dao Wuming's gaze swept to Yun Ge on the other side.
"Then you come."
Dao Wuming's voice was resounding, like a sharp blade unsheathed, carrying an infinite edge.
Yun Ge was worriedly watching Mu Jinyu, somewhat unsure if Mu Jinyu could really defeat the extremely strange Di Shitian. Hearing Dao Wuming's challenge, he was slightly stunned and showed a troubled expression.
He wasn't afraid to fight Dao Wuming, but at the moment, he didn't want to immediately engage Dao Wuming; he wanted to first see Mu Jinyu's battle with Di Shitian to feel reassured.
Mu Jinyu was walking towards Di Shitian's platform; upon hearing Dao Wuming challenge Yun Ge, he turned his head and looked at Yun Ge, giving him a reassuring glance.
Seeing this, Yun Ge calmed down, took a deep breath, and discarded the distracting thoughts from his mind.
Even if Mu Jinyu faced danger in the upcoming battle with Di Shitian, Xie Chenkun and others being there could rescue him in time, so there was no need to worry; he should first fight Dao Wuming!
Yun Ge emptied his mind, exhaled lightly, then firmed his gaze, disregarding everything else, and headed towards Dao Wuming's platform.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu nodded satisfactorily, then his gaze swept to Jian Ruyan, who was always looking at him worriedly, and he gave her a reassuring look before continuing towards Di Shitian!
The disciples of the Three Sects, who hadn't started their challenges yet, whispered among themselves:
"It's finally starting!"
"It's a pity, without Beixue Mountain Villa, it's not a true Four Sects Martial Meeting."
"What's there to pity? With only three sects among the four platform holders, it's a rare occurrence in history, wouldn't it be more exciting than the usual Four Great Sects' top disciples' duel?"
"Indeed, if Dao Wuming and Di Shitian lose in the end, and then the two from Heavenly Sword Faction have the ultimate duel, it would be even more exciting!"
"You're right, it would be exciting, but don't dream, Yun Ge is no match for Dao Wuming!"
"Ah, do you think Mu Jinyu or Di Shitian is stronger?"
"Yesterday, I would say Mu Jinyu, after all, he passed through Sword Mountain Fiery Sea, which no one before him had done, his strength must be second only to Dao Wuming! But now..."
"Seeing how Mu Jinyu dealt with the Blood Sword Sect people just now, dilly-dallying, unlike Di Shitian's decisiveness, I believe he passed through Sword Mountain Fiery Sea just by luck."
"Yes, I agree, Di Shitian defeated his opponents quickly and efficiently twice, Mu Jinyu didn't do that, he even seems weaker than Yun Ge!"
Everyone discussed, unanimously not favoring Mu Jinyu, thinking Di Shitian is stronger!
Mu Jinyu, walking on the path, could vaguely hear these conversations, but he didn't care at all.
Yun Ge was closer to Dao Wuming's platform, and unlike Mu Jinyu walking there, he immediately arrived at Dao Wuming's platform.
"Sword Senior Brother, please guide me!"
Yun Ge looked at Dao Wuming with slightly complicated eyes, clasping his hands and saying.
Dao Wuming has always been the target Yun Ge viewed as his greatest enemy; he also yearned to defeat him one day.
Therefore, after calming his mindset for the challenge, Yun Ge's gaze at Dao Wuming gradually lost its complexity and battle intent rose instead!
"Come on!"
Dao Wuming spoke again, raising his hand simultaneously.
"Clang!"
A clanging sound rang out, and a long sword like cold frost appeared in Dao Wuming's hand.
This was his treasured sword, a top-quality magic treasure, the Nameless Sword!
Even if a common person wielded this sword, mountains would collapse with a slash!
"Clang!"
Yun Ge also drew his sword simultaneously and said, "Forgive me!"
As the words fell.
Yun Ge thrust his sword towards Dao Wuming, his eyes arrogant, endless momentum bursting forth, instantly exhibiting My Way State of Mind!
"How many moves do you think Yun Ge can withstand against Dao Wuming?"
"Yun Ge was originally third on the Heaven's Pride list, having just defeated Lin Tianxue, now second on the Heaven's Pride list, making great progress, but facing Dao Wuming, still no chance of winning, he should be able to withstand four or five moves!"
"I bet three moves!"
As Yun Ge thrust his sword towards Dao Wuming, seeing Mu Jinyu still having some distance to reach Di Shitian's platform, everyone thought he was deliberately stalling, so they stopped paying attention to him and started watching the fight between Yun Ge and Dao Wuming, enthusiastically discussing!
"Oh? My Way State of Mind? So you finally understood the intent?"
Dao Wuming saw the change in Yun Ge's expression and instantly recognized Yun Ge's grasp of the intent, speaking calmly.
Actually, if he hadn't feigned sleep, ignoring all the previous battles, he would have long known Mu Jinyu, Yun Ge, Wei Ziping, and Di Shitian all grasped the intent.
However, even if he neglected the intelligence gathering, it wouldn't affect him.
"Ha!"
Dao Wuming let out a light shout, his eyes becoming even brighter like two flashlights, infinite sword intent swirling in his gaze, as he lightly slashed towards Yun Ge!
He also activated the intent, Only Blade!
At this moment, Dao Wuming and the Nameless Sword became one, the blade's momentum even more terrifying!
"Boom!!"
Sword shadows scattered, blade momentum swept through!
The endless sword shadows Yun Ge slashed out suddenly vanished, and the scene abruptly froze.
Yun Ge stood still, eyes dazed, motionless!
Then, a strand of long hair behind Yun Ge's ear suddenly fell!
With a boom, a corner of the stone platform behind him smoothly fell, a hissing sound echoed, a blood scar appeared on Yun Ge's neck, and blood slowly oozed out!
Just a little more, Yun Ge's head would have been chopped off by Dao Wuming's slash.
The scene fell silent.
But no one thought Dao Wuming missed; it was because the Four Sects Martial Meeting was for practicing, so he didn't kill Yun Ge.
If Dao Wuming had wanted to kill Yun Ge, one slash would sufficed!
Such technique only showcased his Way of the Sword to a meticulous degree!
When Yun Ge transformed into endless illusions, leaving only chaotic sword shadows, Dao Wuming could accurately locate Yun Ge and only injure him without killing him.
This was far more difficult than slaying Yun Ge with a single slash.
The Innate Sword Bone, indeed lives up to its reputation!
