After that, there were also other geniuses on the Azure Frost Immortal Ranking that went on stage. Their opponents would either be those who admitted defeat or chose to fight.
Overall, there were still people who admitted defeat, but that was much less than the first round of the semifinals two days ago.
Most of the players were not willing to step out of the finals even if they had to face a powerful opponent. They wanted to give it a try, because once they succeeded, they would be one step closer to the finals.
For instance, the Fallen Sun, or the Nine Heavens, these two were ranked top three on the Azure Frost Immortal Ranking. It was nearly impossible to see them make a move.
Even though there were people who were unwilling to give up, they could only concede when facing these two heavyweights. These two mountains were not to be crossed.
If the Ghost Thorn and Xia Xiaolan hadn't clashed, most cultivators would have also chosen to surrender when facing these two. However, once these two clashed, there would be a good show to watch.
People ranked fifth on the Azure Frost Immortal Ranking might not be as popular as the others, but they still attracted a lot of attention. For example, Feng Qingzhao's sword technique was incomparably sharp and defeated a cultivator with just one move.
Many people felt that Feng Qingzhao was terrifying, not to mention he was no weaker than Che Liang. They just didn't understand how he had been injured in the secret realm, and who had injured him.
In the competition, Jiang Feng had also discovered his opponent's unrivalled identity, and also defeated him, rising up to 500th place.
Unfortunately, he had not fully matured. At the banquet, he had already been defeated by him, and also by the Little Wolf King, who thwarted him twice in a day, probably had some psychological trauma towards him.
Jiang Feng even discovered that unrivalled gazes did not dare to lightly look at him. This was an expression of fear in his heart, as if Feng Qingzhao was fighting against him within the secret realm. If a person had any fear in their heart, it would show through their expressions and actions.
As the five hundred matches came to an end, the crowd finally welcomed the most explosive match of all: Xia Xiaoji against the Ghost Thorn!
This was the first match of the second round that attracted the attention of the crowd. Although Xia Xiaoji was ranked fifth on the Azure Frost Immortal Ranking, he had always been very mysterious. He rarely appeared in the outside world, and there were not many people who knew about her.
When she fought against the fourth ranked car, Che Liang, in the first round, many people didn't think highly of her. After all, it was hard to imagine how she could contend against his terrifying attack.
However, he didn't expect that Xia Xiaoji's battle would be so shocking, quickly defeating Che Liang, forcing him to admit defeat. Because of this, Xia Xiaoji became famous, and that battle had become a classic battle between cultivators of the Immortal Dao.
On the Azure Frost Immortal Ranking, Xia Xiaoji's rank had climbed from fifth to fourth place, replacing Che Liang.
What was funny was that in the second round of the semi-finals, Xia Xiaoji had drawn the third ranked Ghost Thorn, still higher than her by one rank.
This caused everyone to pay special attention to whether or not this little girl, Xia Xiaoji, could also pull the Ghost Thorn from the third place.
Even if Xia Little Grass was unable to do so, the battle between the two of them would definitely be very exciting.
Very soon, under the gazes of countless people, Xia Xiaoji's beautiful figure ascended Ring One. His pair of slender white legs attracted the attention of countless men, causing them to drool and their eyes to shine.
There were even many people that became fanatical fans of Xia Xiaoji, shouting out neat and orderly slogans. Amongst them, there were many female cultivators who were also cheering for Xia Xiaoji.
There weren't many female cultivators that participated in the immortal dao theory, and the number of female cultivators that managed to reach the second round of the semifinals was less than a third of the number of males.
As the one who defeated those bright cars, Xia Xiaoji was the hope of many female cultivators. They looked forward to see her defeating those men, shining so brilliantly, so as to win the hearts of the female compatriots.
Ghost Stinger's body swayed, and like a ghost, he also stepped into Ring One.
He landed silently on the ground. His small stature gave off a gloomy feeling. This fellow was a rogue cultivator and possessed astonishing killing techniques. He was like a killer and would never use a second move in a battle.
With the entrance of the Ghostly Stinger, the cheers from the audience grew louder and louder.
People like them, who were ranked in the top few on the Azure Frost Immortal Ranking, already had fans of their own. They were spread throughout the world, and their battle prowess was extremely strong. Their shouts were never weaker than others.
Both sides' supporters were almost on the verge of erupting into a fight around the arena.
Jiang Feng, the Little Wolf King and the other cultivators who had already levelled up to 500 were all staring at Stage One.
They also wanted to see whether the Ghost Thorn would not need to use the second move to defeat Xia Xiaolan, or whether Xia Xiaolan would show off her abilities and slash the Ghost Thorn off the horse's back.
"Ghost Stinger, do you want to choose to admit defeat?" Xia Xiaoji asked innocently as he looked at the Ghost Thorn with fresh eyes.
"My aim is only to win or to die, not to admit defeat." The Ghost Stinger coldly spat out, and a ruthless look blossomed in his eyes.
"Alright then, I'll spend some effort to defeat you." As if he had teleported, he didn't even leave behind a shadow. His speed was so fast that it was suffocating, even faster than when he was dealing with the car.
The Ghost Thorn was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, it was sensing Xia Xiaoji's aura, and in almost an instant, a sharp ray of light slashed towards his neck. It was the short sword used by Xia Xiaoji, and it was incomparably swift.
The Ghost Stinger let out a cold snort, but it did not attack. Instead, its body flashed and it immediately moved away.
CHI CHI ~ ~
Xia Xiaobao's attack instantly missed. The short sword slashed through the air and let out a sharp whistling sound.
"You're quite fast. You can't necessarily avoid it, can you?"
Xia Little Grass turned around to look and found that the Ghost Thorn was already in another corner of the arena. He changed his direction again and charged forward with unparalleled speed.
The Ghost Thorn still did not move. It waited until Xia Xiaoji appeared in front of him and launched an attack in that critical moment before it made its move. However, his action was not to counterattack, but to escape.
He had used a high level teleportation method, as if he had completely understood the power of space, allowing the space to be within his grasp. He had dodged the dagger just a fraction of a second before it injured him.
According to Jiang Feng's judgement, this kind of immortal cultivation method was most likely above the Profound Rank. It might even be an Earth Class celestial method, if not it would be very difficult for it to have such a terrifying speed.
Xia Xiaoji was also very fast, but the problem was that no matter how fast he was, after he arrived in front of the Ghost Thorn, he had to slow down slightly because she wanted to attack and the Ghost Stinger would wait until this time to escape.
It was also because of this reason that he wanted to take advantage of the moment when Xia Xiaoji was preparing to attack him to slow down and escape.
There were only two ways to break out of this situation. The only way was to seal the Ghost Thorn so that he would not be able to escape, or to sit and wait for the Ghost Thorn to counterattack.
However, these two methods had to be built on one's own strength and ability to suppress the Ghost Stinger. Otherwise, they would be ineffective.
