Chu Tianshu adopted an even more arrogant posture, drawing his long sword with a swish, and pointing its tip at him. "This young master is the Poison Sword Heavenly Monarch. I will take your head in three moves. If you don't want to die a miserable death, I advise you to surrender directly."
"Damn it, what arrogant words."
Gui Yan Kuang Dao was instantly enraged. Strength erupted from his body, and he leaped high, slashing at him. "Go to hell!"
The competition was filled with gunpowder from the very start, exciting the onlookers.
A flash of cold light appeared, followed by a scream. Before anyone could see clearly, Gui Yan Kuang Dao fell from mid-air, an arm severed, blood gushing out like a spring.
"Such a fast sword!" someone exclaimed.
They hadn't expected this pretty boy to be so powerful, severing Gui Yan Kuang Dao's arm with a single move.
Gui Yan Kuang Dao cried out in pain. Forcing back the agony, before he could even struggle to get up, Chu Tianshu had already landed before him.
His eyes narrowed, his hand raised, and his sword struck!
Blood splattered!
A head, with its eyes wide open, rolled off the fighting stage. Gui Yan Kuang Dao died with his eyes wide open.
What, the match was over already?
The entire venue fell silent for a moment before erupting in whistles and shouts. They hadn't expected this refined and handsome young man to defeat Gui Yan Kuang Dao in just two moves. How powerful!
Some women shrieked, looking at the handsome Chu Tianshu with infatuation. "This Poison Sword Heavenly Monarch is so powerful and handsome!"
"Ahhh, I like him so much!"
"What's this little handsome guy's name? This old lady will capture him within three days and taste him..."
Amidst the clamor, Chu Tianshu stood proudly on the stage, defiantly pointing his sword at everyone below, and declared, "This young master has won the first match. Who dares to challenge me next?"
Su Luo and the others would naturally not enter the arena.
They had to wait until Chu Tianshu defeated five opponents and qualified as a personal bodyguard before others would make their appearance.
With such an arrogant attitude and being an unfamiliar face, how could the members of the Demonic Sect, accustomed to being overbearing in Blackwind City, tolerate the provocation from this young man Chu Tianshu?
Immediately, a dark figure charged forward, accompanied by a tiger's roar. The scene fell silent.
It was a bare-chested middle-aged man, with a blue dragon tattooed on his left arm and a white tiger on his right, his face full of rough flesh and a fierce expression. Beneath him, he rode a ferocious demonic beast, covered in black fur and with sharp teeth.
"Seventh-tier Lion-Tiger Beast!"
Someone exclaimed, "It's the Old Demon of the East Sea! He actually came to Blackwind City too!"
"It's actually the Old Demon of the East Sea! Amazing! I heard last time he killed the eldest prince of Anhuai Kingdom and took the prince's consort. The Emperor of Anhuai sent ten thousand elite soldiers to hunt him, but he slipped away... So he's here in Blackwind City. The Poison Sword Heavenly Monarch is going to lose now."
"The Old Demon of the East Sea's ultimate move, Lightning Flash Three Kills, is not something anyone can dodge. The Poison Sword Heavenly Monarch is definitely dead!"
Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, Su Luo was not worried at all.
Putting aside the difference in cultivation between her second senior brother, just the Azure Dragon Sword she had given him would make him invincible once drawn. That sword was meant to taste blood.
In the gleam of electricity, the match began.
This middle-aged man, known as the Old Demon of the East Sea, unleashed his ultimate move the moment he acted.
The lightning was sharp, shooting out from his palm, bright and blinding, dazzling the eyes of those around.
Chu Tianshu, however, did not even look at his opponent. He closed his eyes, concentrated his divine sense on the target, and struck with his sword. The sword energy was like a rainbow, its sharpness bone-chilling, like whistling ice and snow, sending a chill through the Old Demon of the East Sea's heart.
His opponent was not to be underestimated!
He unleashed ten consecutive palm strikes, waves of electricity erupting from his palms like thunder from the heavens. No matter how Chu Tianshu dodged, it was like a shadow clinging to him. One moment's delay and he would be charred.
"Go, go." Below the stage, Tang Xiaoguo and Bai Qi secretly cheered for their second senior brother.
Su Luo and Wen Dainer, however, remained calm. Although Chu Tianshu seemed to be fleeing, he was actually constantly seeking opportunities to attack.
Suddenly, the two women's eyes lit up. The opportunity had come!
Swish!
Chu Tianshu leaped high and slashed down with his sword.
Everyone clearly saw that the sharp sword light transformed into nine streams, which spun around the Old Demon of the East Sea, encircling him. Just as his expression changed drastically and he uttered two words: "Wait..."
The nine white lights pierced through the Old Demon of the East Sea's body, even piercing through the Lion-Tiger Beast beneath him.
With a mournful cry, the Lion-Tiger Beast collapsed.
The Old Demon of the East Sea also fell to the ground, covered in blood, his face full of unwillingness as he stared at Chu Tianshu, raising his hand with great effort to point at him: "You, you don't... don't, don't..."
He wanted to say, you broke the rules.
He was willing to surrender, but the opponent didn't listen and directly killed him.
The scene erupted in an uproar again.
Everyone had witnessed firsthand that this young man, nicknamed the Poison Sword Heavenly Monarch, had killed the Old Demon of the East Sea. This was no ordinary person; even the righteous path would change their expression and find him troublesome, yet he was killed by the Poison Sword Heavenly Monarch in a few sword strikes!
"Ahhh... so handsome! Poison Sword Heavenly Monarch, I love you!"
"Handsome guy, look here, look here!"
"He actually killed the Old Demon of the East Sea in less than ten moves. Who is this person? When did such a master emerge?"
"Too powerful, if I went up, I definitely wouldn't last five moves."
The crowd once again shouted excitedly, some shocked by Chu Tianshu's skill, some impressed by his decisive action, and countless women from the Demonic Sect were moved by his handsome appearance and powerful techniques, wishing they could rush forward and pledge their lives to him on the spot.
Bai Qi was finally relieved, realizing how powerful his second senior brother was!
Next, there were still three more fearless, arrogant, and fierce members of the Demonic Sect who challenged Chu Tianshu.
In the third match, Chu Tianshu lived up to expectations and won again, finishing off his opponent in five moves, decapitating him with a single sword. However, in the fourth match, he encountered a woman, and there was a slight hitch, almost falling for her ruse of feigning weakness.
In the fifth match, he faced an opponent who used sneak attacks with hidden weapons. Fortunately, Chu Tianshu reacted quickly; he only sustained a minor scratch on his arm, and still decapitated his opponent with a sword.
"Five consecutive victories, congratulations to the Poison Sword Heavenly Monarch!"
The person in charge of judging from the City Lord's mansion stepped forward and announced loudly. The competition had lasted for more than two hours, with dozens of people dead, and now there was finally a master who had passed five rounds consecutively, winning the first spot as a bodyguard for the City Lord.
The crowd cheered again, their voices like thunder.
The members of the Demonic Sect always believed in the supremacy of the strong, lifting up those who were high and stepping on those who were low. Even though Chu Tianshu had killed so many people, they found it normal and instead admired him even more, becoming completely subservient. The way they looked at him was different from the beginning.
The people from the City Lord's mansion handed Chu Tianshu a metal token, engraved with the words "Blackwind City" on the front, and a pattern of two crossed swords on the back, with the character '壹' carved in the middle.
"This is a token for passing the competition. Please keep it safe. I will take you to see the City Lord after the competition ends."
"Okay, I understand."
Chu Tianshu accepted the metal token without any reservation and sat aside to wait.
The few people from the City Lord's mansion responsible for the competition began to ask for his identity and name for registration. Chu Tianshu lied casually, acting profound. When they heard the title 'Group Eleven of the Worldly Devil Kings,' they had never heard of it and assumed he was a disciple of some powerful figure from the Demonic Sect, becoming even more respectful.
Soon, the competition continued.
When another expert from the Demonic Sect had fought his way through and killed four opponents, Shang Xie Shao Qing impatiently stepped forward, "I'll go meet him. Within five moves, I'll take his dog life."
