118: How could he admit defeat?

According to Golden Great Harvest's past combat experience, any Prodigy from a Sect would be extremely concerned about their Face.

Regardless of their strength, as long as he showed even a slight hint of disdain, the opponent would be enraged.

They would fight no matter if they could win or not!

But this Oriental Heng completely deviated from the usual script, leaving him directly cornered by his words.

One must know that when he said those words, the surrounding Disciples could hear him.

Fortunately, Oriental Heng was only at Foundation Establishment, so letting him have a few moves was fine.

Thinking of this, he pretended to be magnanimous:

"My cultivation is higher than yours after all, so letting you have three moves is fine."

The Disciples watching below, seeing this, praised Golden Great Harvest for his broad Heart-Nature.

Although Golden Great Harvest's cultivation had reached a high level, he was still young and his Heart-Nature was not yet mature, so he felt a bit smug for a moment.

Just then, the protective array outside the arena lit up.

Several Elder referees floated in the sky, each guarding an arena.

"I announce that the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly has officially begun!"

With the Black-Robed Elder's command, the Disciples on each arena began to move.

In an instant, sabre light flashed, and Sword Qi soared into the sky.

On Arena Number One, Oriental Heng glanced at the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters cheering him on, then looked at the crowd of watching Disciples.

He took a deep breath and said to Golden Great Harvest:

"Senior Brother, pardon my offense!"

As he spoke, his body swelled, and Sword Qi burst forth!

Under the crisscrossing Sword Qi, Golden Great Harvest, who was dozens of meters away from Oriental Heng, felt a faint stinging sensation on his skin.

With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Rank Magical Artifact, the Blood-Tipped Sword, was grasped in his palm!

With the appearance of this sword, Oriental Heng's Aura rose again!

His Foundation Establishment second-layer cultivation also rose to Foundation Establishment fourth-layer!

These two layers of cultivation were the result of Gu Liangyuan's training during this period.

The opposing Golden Great Harvest's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although Oriental Heng had not yet made a move, this Aura already had the potential to threaten an ordinary Core Formation Cultivator.

Fighting above one's realm, truly worthy of a Forget-Love Peak Disciple.

However, if you can fight above your realm, so can I!

Still too young, too shallow in the Dao.

The attention of the Elders on the mountaintop was still on Oriental Heng.

Although they felt they had no chance of turning the situation around, they still fantasized about a miracle happening.

Seeing Oriental Heng's Aura, someone sighed faintly, lamenting:

"With Oriental Heng's cultivation, if he were to fight a Disciple who had just entered Core Formation, he might actually have a chance to win."

"But unfortunately, he had bad luck and ran into this Golden Great Harvest."

Someone chimed in:

"If they were both at Core Formation eighth-layer, Golden Great Harvest might not necessarily be his opponent, but it's a pity he's only at Foundation Establishment."

As the two spoke, Oriental Heng below moved!

Taking a step forward, his Aura surged again!

His eyes suddenly became hollow, as if devoid of any emotion.

What he exuded was only indifference.

Indifference to all things, to all living beings under heaven!

"Minor Achievement Sword Intent!"

Looking at Oriental Heng, the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect uttered these four words.

Foundation Establishment realm, comprehending Sword Intent?

Among the three thousand Disciples on the field, it wasn't that none had comprehended Sword Intent.

But most of these Disciples comprehended it after Core Formation.

It was truly rare to comprehend Sword Intent in the Foundation Establishment realm.

The better Oriental Heng performed, the more heartbroken the gamblers who had placed bets felt.

Why did he have to be matched with Golden Great Harvest!

As long as it wasn't one of the top hundred Disciples, Oriental Heng's chances of winning were very high!

Alas!

At this moment, Golden Great Harvest, facing Oriental Heng, already sensed that something was amiss.

He wanted to defend himself, but it was too late.

Oriental Heng forcefully swung the sword in his hand, and a blood-red Sword Qi shot straight towards Golden Great Harvest!

"One move."

Oriental Heng uttered two words, not even looking at the result of this strike.

He took another step, his eyes still filled with indifference, but his body seemed to gain a hint of elegance.

Again, he raised his sword, poised to strike!

"I wish to know you, to live long without end!"

As the line was uttered, the imagery within the poem and the Forgetting Love Sword Intent merged into one, and an Aura of despair and death instantly enveloped the entire arena.

Even the Disciples watching close to the arena felt a faint sense of sadness.

"Mountains have no ridges, heaven and earth merge, then I dare to part with you!"

Oriental Heng's voice was soft at first, but by the end, it was strong and resonant, striking the ground with force!

As the poem concluded, he pointed the Blood-Tipped Sword in his hand forward.

A faint red glow shot towards Golden Great Harvest.

"Two moves."

As this sword was swung, because Golden Great Harvest was unable to dodge in time, the Sword Qi from the first strike had already hit him.

Although he used a movement technique to evade at the crucial moment, he was still injured on the shoulder by the residual Sword Qi.

A wound about an inch deep on his shoulder was gushing blood, faintly revealing white bone!

The physical pain not only did not make him retreat, but instead ignited his ferocity!

Looking at the red glow attacking again, Golden Great Harvest did not dare to be careless.

As he formed hand seals, a greenish-blue point appeared on his chest.

Looking closely, it was actually an arrowhead.

Because it was covered in verdigris, it appeared greenish-blue!

"Go!"

With a loud shout, the arrowhead shot out, heading straight for that red glow!

Bang!

Both were only the size of a thumb, but the moment they collided, there was an earth-shattering explosion!

Even the protective array glowed brightly and trembled three times!

However, after the red glow exploded, it did not dissipate.

Instead, it transformed into countless fragments that diffused into the air, like light and dust.

As the fragments landed on Golden Great Harvest, he felt his spiritual platform tremble.

His rationality told him that the Oriental Heng in front of him was definitely not his opponent.

But deep down, a sense of despair arose, making him feel that he was about to die on the spot.

Under this strange emotion, his hand movements subconsciously slowed down by a few points.

This was precisely the effect of the Forgetting Love Sword Intent and the poetic enhancement.

Golden Great Harvest's strength was far greater than Oriental Heng's, which was why the impact on him was relatively small.

If it were a Cultivator of the same level as Oriental Heng, unless they had an extremely firm Heart-Nature, under this Sword Intent, they would have already fallen deep into despair, lost the ability to fight, and allowed Oriental Heng to slaughter them.

Even so, Golden Great Harvest's hesitation gave Oriental Heng an opportunity.

With the enhancement of the Forgetting Love Sword Intent, another sword was swung!

"Three moves."

Sword Qi tore through the air, heading straight for Golden Great Harvest!

By the time Golden Great Harvest reacted, the Sword Qi had already reached him.

Splat!

Unable to dodge in time, he was again struck by the residual Sword Qi, and a hideous wound diagonally spread from his lower abdomen to his chest.

The intense pain caused Golden Great Harvest's eyes to twitch slightly.

Being wounded by Oriental Heng repeatedly brought his rage to its peak!

That feeling of despair was also forcefully dispersed by this rage!

Three moves had passed.

Die!

Just as he was about to make a move, he saw Oriental Heng leap down from the arena directly:

"I lost."

"Huh?"

"Did you not hear clearly? I said I concede."

You lost!?

You came up and beat me up, and now you say you lost?

Although Golden Great Harvest had won at this moment, he felt worse than if he had lost the match.

How could he concede!?
