Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Ge Qing's face was grave as he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

Ignoring Li Nanting's obstruction, Li Guanqi said firmly, "I'm sure!"

The old man took a deep look at Li Guanqi, and then the name of the Great Xia Sword Sect on the record stele suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling scarlet light!

Beneath the names of the original twenty-five sects, the name of the Great Xia Sword Sect appeared in twenty-sixth place!

The old man in the sky announced loudly, "Great Xia Sword Sect disciple, initiate the Purgatory Challenge!"

Buzz!!!

A mysterious wave slowly spread in all directions, carrying with it an aura of solemn killing intent.

The old man took a deep look at Li Guanqi and said softly, "After three hundred years, the Hundred Sects Tournament has once again initiated the Purgatory Challenge."

"The last time it was initiated..."

"Was also by someone from your Great Xia Sword Sect."

Hearing this, Li Guanqi suddenly turned his head to look at the slightly hunched, lame man!

In that instant, he seemed to see the once high-spirited young man.

Harboring the same feelings as him, roaring to the sky and choosing to risk everything!

Only now did he understand what the reproach in his master's eyes represented.

It was concern.

Li Guanqi grinned and said softly, "Master, don't worry, your disciple will not be disgraced!"

Whoosh!!

Li Guanqi instantly soared onto the high platform on his sword!

Ge Qing said softly, "Purgatory Challenge requires any sect drawn by the record stele to send out ten Foundation Establishment Late Stage disciples!"

"A gauntlet, without any rest!"

"Once the challenge is successful, thirty points will be added!"

"Once it fails, there will be no further opportunities."

Hiss!

All those who heard the rules of the Purgatory Challenge for the first time couldn't help but gasp!

As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone murmured, "These rules, are they even made for people? How could anyone succeed in challenging under such rules?"

"They just need to send out some disciples to exhaust his energy, and then send up the strong ones later."

That's right, almost everyone who heard this rule for the first time thought so.

The rules were cruel and merciless, and it could even be said that there was almost no possibility of a successful challenge.

Gao Qiwen had also fallen at the hands of Chen Qing from the Profound Heaven Sect.

And at that time, Chen Qing was only the sixth disciple sent out by the Profound Heaven Sect.

Gao Qiwen transmitted his voice, "Kid, you must win!!"

"Be sure not to waste too much energy on the initial disciples, make it quick!"

Ge Qing said in a deep voice, "Due to the Purgatory Challenge, the drawing of lots for the sect competition will be restarted!"

After speaking, the old man waved his hand and sent a ray of light into the record stele.

Buzz!!!

The text on the record stele began to change frantically.

Everyone stared intently at the record stele.

The text on it changed rapidly, and after a few breaths, everyone's eyes turned to the back of that scarlet name.

When everyone saw the sect that Li Guanqi was going to challenge, they were immediately shocked!!

Even the Great Xia Sword Sect members, who had just mustered their fighting spirit, were ashen-faced.

Everyone looked closely, and the record stele clearly read.

'Great Xia Sword Sect, versus, Profound Gate Hall!!!'

"It's over..."

Ye Feng's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Even Tu Kui couldn't help but say, "Why don't we... just give up, there's still time to give up now."

Li Nanting pursed his lips and remained silent, his eyes fixed on the figure of the young man without moving.

Tu Kui turned to look at Li Nanting and couldn't help but say in a deep voice.

"Old Li! Are you going to let him mess around?"

"The Great Xia Sword Sect has finally produced a once-in-a-millennium..."

"Are you just going to watch him ruin his immortal path!"

Seeing that the old man was unmoved, Tu Kui turned to look at Qin Xian and said anxiously.

"Old Qin, are you going to watch him mess around too!"

However, Qin Xian's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he turned to look at Tu Kui and said softly.

"Mess around? When did a sect disciple risking his life for the honor of the sect become messing around?"

"Even if Li Guanqi dies on the arena today, he will die standing!"

"Our Great Xia Sword Sect will hold a grand ceremony and bury him generously!"

"This is his own decision, I believe him! We should all believe him!"

Among the crowd, a little girl's figure appeared behind the old man, her two hands tightly clutching the old man's clothes, her eyes full of worry.

Yu Suian murmured softly, "Little blind man..."

Zhao Beichen laughed when he saw the result of the draw.

"Interesting, with great courage he chose the Purgatory Challenge, but the first challenge is against the Profound Gate Hall."

"Hehe, with Guan Qingyun's virtue, he will definitely be the last one to go."

"Li Guanqi, huh... will you have a chance..."

A rather complicated light flashed in Ji Linglan's beautiful eyes. She didn't understand why Li Guanqi would take such a big risk to choose the Purgatory Challenge.

She sighed softly and led the disciples of the Lingxiao Pavilion to watch the battle from the sky!

The disciples of the Profound Gate Hall, who were chosen as opponents, felt a fire burning in their hearts.

This feeling was like them being kings and generals, but being pulled over by a beggar on the side of the road to say, 'Let's see who can beg for more money.'

It was indescribably disgusting.

Guan Qingyun sneered with a cold expression, "Since people have chosen us as their opponents, then don't be their stepping stones!"

"Profound Gate Hall disciples, listen to my orders!"

"Whoever can knock him off the high platform will be rewarded with three thousand spirit stones!!"

Soon, the Profound Gate Hall disciples gathered ten Foundation Establishment Late Stage disciples.

This was why each sect had twenty spots for spectators.

Among these spots, there were many Foundation Establishment Late Stage disciples.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Purgatory Challenge that each sect would bring at least seven Foundation Establishment Late Stage disciples to watch the battle!

As for the information about the Purgatory Challenge, Li Guanqi had casually mentioned it when he was communicating with Qin Xian.

Whoosh!!

A burly Profound Gate Hall disciple jumped onto the arena.

Many people in the audience looked at this scene with excitement.

The young man raised his eyes to look at Li Guanqi with a proud expression, and said softly.

"Profound Gate Hall, Cao Yang!"

Li Guanqi slowly drew his long sword with a calm expression, holding the sword in one hand and saying in a deep voice.

"Great Xia Sword Sect, Li Guanqi!"

The two of them each exuded a faint pressure, standing ten feet apart.

Suddenly!

A slightly childish but extremely firm voice suddenly came!

"Little blind man!! 加油 (Jiāyóu - Add oil/Go for it)!!"

Yu Suian sat on Qin Xian's shoulders, waving her fists and shouting with a flushed face.

Immediately afterwards, there were the roars of the Great Xia Sword Sect members.

"Old Li, 加油 (Jiāyóu - Add oil/Go for it)!!"

"Junior Brother Li!!! 加油 (Jiāyóu - Add oil/Go for it)!! Overthrow the Profound Gate Hall!!"

"Junior Brother, be careful!"

Zhong Lin and Lin Dong supported each other to stand up, waving their arms and roaring.

"Old Li!! 加油 (Jiāyóu - Add oil/Go for it)!!"

The old man in the sky said in a deep voice, "Purgatory Challenge... begins!!"

咚 (dōng - sound of a drum)!!
