The other three would see who could last longer.
"Thirty breaths of time."
With a wave of his sleeve, the Hall Master of Heavenly Light reset the floating hourglass in midair, ready to start timing as soon as the battle began.
Qi Tianxing took a deep breath and drew his sword, moving towards the arena.
"Does the Hall Master of Heavenly Light think I am weaker than the Seventeenth Prince? Yes, he has the Mind Forbidden Technique and has learned the Ultimate Killing Skill, so his instantaneous explosive combat power is slightly better than mine."
His eyes flashed with confidence, "But when facing an opponent like the Green Flood Dragon Demon that’s impossible to defeat, explosive power is not important. What matters is entanglement and defensive methods. The Seventeenth Prince won’t last long with that kind of consumption..."
"Let’s begin."
As the declaration was made, sword light burst forth instantly.
The Green Flood Dragon Demon, with its cold vertical pupils, glanced indifferently at Qi Tianxing and immediately turned into a green gust of wind, sweeping away with terrifying speed.
"So fast!"
The spectators were all startled, and most of the cultivators at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier Peak couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the Green Flood Dragon Demon’s figure.
Yet the four major figures in the stands remained calm.
The Green Flood Dragon is also known as the wind dragon. In addition to its strong life force, its speed is also shockingly fast. Although not as explosive as Lin Yue’s Thirteen Flames, its agility is still astonishing.
"Clang, clang, clang——!"
The whirlwind that the Green Flood Dragon Demon transformed into clashed wildly with Qi Tianxing’s sword light, probably exchanging dozens or even hundreds of blows in the span of a breath.
And Qi Tianxing’s sword light, crisscrossing, vaguely assumed the Circulation Sword Formation, managing to block the Green Flood Dragon Demon’s onslaught time after time!
In the hourglass suspended in the air, the sand continued to fall.
Even though Qi Tianxing’s sword light defense was gradually shrinking, he ultimately withstood the Green Flood Dragon Demon.
By the time most of the sand in the hourglass had fallen, around after twenty-eight breaths had passed, Qi Tianxing’s sword light could no longer hold, and with a bang, he was thrown flying. Simultaneously, the Green Flood Dragon Demon’s scaled palm tore off his arm, instantly pulverizing it!
Qi Tianxing, pale-faced, called out loudly, "I admit defeat!"
In the next moment, amidst the roar, an invisible force suddenly descended, restraining the Green Flood Dragon Demon.
Had he not admitted defeat, it might have been more than just a severed arm.
Just losing an arm, he could still regenerate it with some Heaven and Earth Treasures for flesh and bones and slowly recover. But if the injury was too severe and touched the foundation, that would be troublesome.
Qi Tianxing didn’t care about his wound; he immediately turned to look at the hourglass.
One scale was one breath, and now only two scales worth of sand was left in the upper half of the hourglass, which meant he had lasted twenty-eight breaths!
"Very good!" A hint of joy crossed Qi Tianxing’s face.
Only those who had personally fought the Green Flood Dragon Demon could understand how dangerous and difficult the battle had been. It was because he specialized in the Circulation Sword Formation, refined further by the guidance of the Sword Saint, that he was able to last for twenty-eight breaths.
Otherwise, he would have been unable to withstand the Green Flood Dragon Demon’s terrifying wild onslaught.
The sword light he cast on the Green Flood Dragon Demon’s body barely left some fine wounds—something the demon paid no mind to.
Moreover, the movement technique of the Green Flood Dragon Demon was also terribly frightening, and his sword light could hardly touch his opponent.
"The Circulation Sword Formation is quite perfect."
From the elevated stands, the Hall Master of Heavenly Light spoke softly, "Unexpectedly, Qi Tianxing still had such a skill hidden up his sleeve, managing to last for twenty-eight breaths. If the Green Flood Dragon Demon’s attacks weren’t so strong, shaking him repeatedly, he might have lasted even longer."
"It is indeed good," Prince An Qing rarely nodded in agreement.
"Ha ha, it seems we have our Inner Hall disciple," the Twelfth Prince laughed warmly, "It’s a pity for the Seventeenth brother, even with the explosive power of Thirteen Flames, he couldn’t seriously injure the Green Flood Dragon Demon, and after the outburst, he couldn’t withstand the demon’s wild attacks, probably not even for a single breath."
Duke Heng remained silent.

He also knew that it was true.
The movement speed of the Green Flood Dragon Demon was so frightening, and while Lin Yue’s explosive speed was certainly much faster, it was only for a brief burst.
The Green Flood Dragon Demon, however, could maintain that speed for a long time, and its physical defenses were also very strong.
After all, Thirteen Flames specializes in speed, and its killing power relies on that momentary explosive speed to overwhelm the enemy’s defenses; but the actual lethality is not very strong.
This was its weakness.
Specializing only in explosive speed, once encountering enemies who are also terrifyingly fast and cannot be severely injured, things would become difficult.
"Next, Sha Jiu."
With the declaration from the Hall Master of Heavenly Light, the deathly silent black-robed swordsman, Sha Jiu, took the stage.
And the Green Flood Dragon Demon, which had not been worn down or injured, had its restraints released again, transforming into a raging gust, charging straight at Sha Jiu.
After the two sides clashed, spectators were shocked.
"Clang, clang, clang——"
The howling wind surged as Sha Jiu’s sword turned into an invisible high-speed edge, continuously attacking the Green Flood Dragon Demon. His swordplay was arcane and secretive, and he fought the demon to a standstill! Your adventure continues at freewebnovel
In terms of agility, Sha Jiu was not inferior to the Green Flood Dragon Demon, and his swordplay was extremely sharp!
In the previous third round of life-and-death matches, Sha Jiu’s performance was merely comparable to Lin Yue’s and Qi Tianxing’s; had he been concealing his true strength all along?
If one observed carefully—
One would see that at this moment, a peculiar dark green hue emerged on Sha Jiu’s skin, enhancing both his explosive power and speed.
Qi Tianxing couldn’t help but frown.
He had hidden his ace, the Circulation Sword Formation; had Sha Jiu concealed his abilities just as deeply?
However, he glanced at Lin Yue and felt reassured.
