Chapter 397: Martial Arts Competition Part 2

The number of people competing on the second day was half of that on the previous day, and the battle ended earlier. Song Qingming and Huang Shengxin both defeated their opponents successfully, but Huang Shengyue was unlucky and encountered an opponent at the eighth level of foundation building. After a hard fight, he was defeated as expected.

On the last day, the remaining thirty-odd cultivators had to go through two battles before deciding the top ten cultivators, and then select the top three strong men of this sword-fighting conference.

Among the cultivators who entered the last thirty, the late foundation building cultivators already occupied more than half. Although the remaining cultivators had lower cultivation, most of them were foundation building strong men with one or two powerful magic weapons and good magical powers. There were not many who could pass two rounds by their own luck.

At the beginning of this round, Song Qingming was lucky. He faced a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect who was at the peak of the sixth level of foundation building. Although this person had a second-level top-grade flying sword, he had little experience in fighting and was only slightly stronger than the bald man that Song Qingming defeated yesterday. Although Song Qingming spent a little longer fighting this time, he still defeated this person without any danger.

Next, as long as he wins one more round, he can enter the top ten. However, this time Song Qingming also ushered in a truly powerful opponent, an old man in yellow robes who has reached the peak of the eighth level of foundation building.

After this person came on stage, he saw that Song Qingming's cultivation was only at the seventh level of foundation building, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes. Now everyone only has one opponent left to enter the top ten, and among the less than 20 people left, Song Qingming, who is at the seventh level of foundation building, is obviously ranked at the back.

As soon as the old man in yellow robe came up, he chose to attack first. He waved his hand and released a white jade bottle. As the old man in yellow robe cast a spell to control it, the mouth of the white jade bottle suddenly emitted a strong red light, and a blazing flame shot directly at Song Qingming like a long sharp arrow.

"This old man, what a powerful fire control technique!" Seeing that the old man in yellow robe used the white jade bottle in his hand to increase the power of an ordinary rocket technique by several times, Song Qingming couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Just when Song Qingming had just cast a spell to replace a shield to block the attack, he didn't want to feel several hot spiritual energy coming around his body. He looked up and saw that the old man in yellow had replaced several rockets with similar power from the white jade bottle. These rockets were not only powerful, but also flew out of the jade bottle continuously, and soon formed a rain of arrows.

Seeing this, Song Qingming could only take out the Green Water Bell to block in front of him, blocking all the arrows in front of him.

But before Song Qingming could catch his breath, the old man in yellow in the distance suddenly cast a spell again and threw two white jade bottles exactly the same as before into the air. As the two jade bottles began to shoot rockets, the number of arrows shot at Song Qingming suddenly increased several times.

"It seems that this guy's consciousness is a bit unusual to be able to operate three identical magic tools at the same time."

Facing the rain of fire falling from the sky, Song Qingming could only cast a spell to control the Green Water Bell to cover himself in it, so as to block the fire released by the old man in yellow.

Fortunately, the Green Water Bell, a second-level top-grade defensive magic tool, is of very good quality. It is difficult for the magic attacks of ordinary cultivators of the same level to break its defense. Song Qingming patiently blocked this wave of attacks with the strong defense of the Green Water Bell.

When the rockets in the bottle of the old man in yellow stopped shooting, Song Qingming lifted up the Green Water Bell, which had become nearly ten feet high, and smashed it directly towards the top of the old man in yellow.

As soon as the Green Water Bell flew into the air, the old man in yellow immediately responded by taking out a black bronze mirror and placing it in front of his chest.

Unexpectedly, the Green Water Bell just flew in front of the old man in yellow, but suddenly stopped. Then Song Qingming suddenly appeared under the Green Water Bell. He chopped the old man in yellow with a black long knife in his hand, and another smaller short blade turned into a sharp blade and shot at the other's head.

Seeing this, the old man in yellow was not in a hurry. He jumped up and dodged Song Qingming's knife. The black bronze mirror in his hand flew into the air and then a flash of light flashed. It suddenly turned into a bronze mirror with a diameter of three feet and blocked the short blade that was tracking him.

Seeing that the old man in yellow dodged his attack so easily, Song Qingming's face did not change. Instead, he took out the Soul-Bewitching Banner and released a burst of black smoke to hide his figure.

"Hmph! Do you think I can't find you just because you hide?" The old man in yellow chuckled, and then controlled the three white jade bottles in his hand to close together again, and cast a spell from the air to release another burst of fire rain to the ground.

At this time, Song Qingming, who was hiding in the smoke, seemed to have no choice but to release the Green Water Bell again to avoid this sharp attack. Soon the old man in yellow found the location of the Green Water Bell in the smoke and concentrated all the attacks around it.

With a sharp shout from the old man in yellow, a flaming spear as thick as a bucket appeared in the old man's hand. The old man in yellow with a sharp weapon in his hand rushed down directly to the position where Song Qingming was, wanting to use this attack to directly penetrate the defense of the Green Water Bell on Song Qingming's body.

However, the yellow-clothed old man's attack still failed to break the defense of the green water bell on the ground, which inevitably made the yellow-clothed old man's face reveal a trace of surprise. He thought that this green water bell was just an ordinary second-level top-grade defensive magic weapon, but he didn't expect that the magic weapon in Song Qingming's hand had been forged by Longfeng and added with silver sandstone, which was no longer comparable to ordinary second-level magic weapons.

Seeing that the attack failed, the yellow-clothed old man was about to retreat, but he didn't expect that the green water bell in front of him suddenly shot out several water arrows. The yellow-clothed old man could only stop and wanted to block this attack with the black bronze mirror in his hand. At this time, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from the side of the yellow-clothed old man, and a black silver knife had appeared beside him.

This sudden attack was not expected by the yellow-clothed old man at all. With an unexpected shout, the yellow-clothed old man was hit by Song Qingming's knife and flew several feet away. Even the black bronze mirror that he had been holding in his hand fell under the stone platform.

"Weren't you inside the bronze bell the whole time? How did you suddenly come out?" The old man in yellow clothes who was lying on the ground looked at Song Qingming in surprise. He still couldn't understand why he, who had been hiding in the Green Water Bell just now, appeared outside this magic weapon.

"Haha! Which eye of Daoist friend saw that I was hiding inside all the time?"
