"If that's the case, then I'll do my best!"

Lin Tian flipped his palm, and the Red Flame Emperor Fire instantly appeared.

Originally, Zhong Li didn't quite believe Lin Tian. After all, more than a year ago, this boy was just a handyman disciple. Even if he had an unexpected encounter, how powerful a strange fire could he control?

But when the Red Flame Emperor Fire appeared, Zhongli's eyes suddenly widened.

The moment the terrifying five-color fire flames bloomed, the air within a hundred meters around it was almost ignited.

The scorching heat seemed like an invisible hand grabbing his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.

There was a slight explosion of air, and a slight crack appeared in the space between the two people. The moment the violent void energy was revealed, it made people's scalp numb.

Such a magical power made Zhongli's expression no longer calm. He couldn't help but take a step back and looked at the Red Flame Emperor Huo with awe in his eyes.

"What kind of strange fire is this, and why is it so terrifying?"

Even Zhongli himself didn't feel it. His tone of voice was now much more polite.

With his strength, he is naturally not afraid of Lin Tian, ​​but his talent and growth rate are enough to win his respect.

"This fire is called the Red Flame Emperor Fire, and it is the result of me using a special technique to fuse the origins of several powerful alien fires!

Using this fire should be enough to help senior smelt this material, but it is my trump card to deal with Chu Yang, senior must keep it a secret for me!"

Hearing this, Zhongli smiled cheerfully: "Don't worry, I certainly won't do such a nasty thing!"

After seeing Lin Tian's strength, Zhongli felt much better.

With the existence of this strange fire, my worries can be completely eliminated!

Lin Tian directly used the heaven and earth as a furnace, placed the black material on the Red Flame Emperor's fire, and refined it with great care.

According to the information given by Sword Soul, these hard black materials are just naturally formed black crystals that protect the Tears of Eternal Life.

Zhongli only wanted the black crystal, but gave away the truly precious Tears of Eternal Life, which seemed to be like buying a coffin for a pearl.

Even if it is just a protective shell, this mysterious black crystal material is still an extremely precious treasure.

Lin Tian judged that if this thing was integrated into the Xingluo Sword, I am afraid that this magical sword would directly reach the level of the Qingyang Ancient Sword, and its quality would far exceed that of the best flying sword!

While Lin Tian was refining the black crystal, the Sword Sect became more and more lively.

Most of the famous people from the entire Chu Kingdom came one after another, and almost all the elders were sent out to receive the distinguished guests.

"Headmaster Qi, Master Sima, Headmaster Cheng and General Nangong have arrived!"

A senior elder reminded him in a low voice, and then Li Taibai put down the chess piece in his hand.

Both the black and white sides are playing the game by himself. Two hours have passed from the beginning to now, and the result has not been determined.

However, being disturbed at this moment, his thoughts were also disrupted, so he put down the chess piece that was about to fall.

"Is Lin Tian back?"

Li Taibai did not stand up immediately, but the elder beside him immediately replied in a low voice:

"He hasn't come back yet. Shanmen and Qingyang Peak have sent people to wait, but no one has seen his shadow!"

Li Taibai was obviously mentally prepared for this answer and nodded calmly.

"Headmaster, Lin Tian really doesn't dare to show up, right?"

The elder asked hesitantly. Countless people were waiting to see the showdown between him and Chu Yang. If no one showed up at the end, it would be a big joke.

"He'll show up!"

Li Taibai's voice was calm and firm, and he looked outside Jade Sword City, as if he sensed Lin Tian's presence.

In the Guanghua Hall, four or five half-step masters were slowly drinking tea, and the powerful aura they exuded left many people in awe.

Below them, there are some representatives of powerful forces. These people are also extremely powerful masters of magical powers. The entire hall almost covers the entire Chu Kingdom's frontline forces.

An old man with silver hair had a gloomy face, and his whole body breath revealed a sense of coldness. He said to Sima Shi opposite:

"Is it about to start? Why doesn't Master Li show up yet? Is this the so-called hospitality?"

Before Sima Shi could speak, Nangong Ling next to him said with a smile:

"It's probably because Lin Tian hasn't come back yet, and Headmaster Li is anxious at the moment.

I originally thought I was going to watch a showdown between geniuses, but I didn’t expect to see a joke first! Hahaha!”

For a moment, many people in the venue laughed, obviously they were waiting to see the joke.

However, Sima Shi managed to smooth things over:

"As a young man, it's understandable to be a little arrogant. Didn't Prince Chu Yang not show up? When the moment comes, he will always come out."

Nangong Ling couldn't help but sneered:

"Red Lion, the prince has a noble status. It is said that he is already attacking the Dharma. Maybe when he returns, his realm will be higher than ours. How can he be compared to Lin Tian!"

Nangong Lingnai is a veteran general who is quite loyal to the royal family.

It's just that he was seriously injured in a battle and his foundation was damaged. His strength was much weaker, so he withdrew.

Otherwise, with his strength, he would never be able to become a prince.

Ge Ying, the leader of the Qingying Sect opposite, also nodded and said:

"Although Lin Tian is strong, he is a little too young. If we give him some time, he may be able to compete with the prince.

Now, I’m afraid it’s unlikely!”

"There is indeed some truth to this!"

Master Cheng also echoed.

Seeing that these people were leaning towards Chu Yang, Sima Shi was a little dissatisfied and said to Ge Ying and Master Cheng:

"Since when did you two old guys get to eat royal food? It seems like it's better to enjoy the shade under the big tree. It's such a good thing that you didn't call me!"

This sentence seems to be a complaint, but in fact it is a mockery.

Generally speaking, sects like them strive to be independent and not have anything to do with the court, otherwise everything will be controlled by the court in the future.

The expressions of Ge Ying and Headmaster Cheng also changed, and they couldn't help but reprimanded:

"Master Sima, please don't say nonsense. We are just expressing our own opinions.

Can't we just say nice things about that guy Lin Tian? You are too overbearing!"

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and Sima Shi's face also looked a little ugly.

"I've kept you waiting for so long!"

Li Taibai's voice suddenly sounded, and everyone raised their eyes to see that he had already sat at the top of the table.

Silently, the aura of those half-step masters was suppressed in an instant. Even if they didn't release the slightest aura, people didn't dare to be free anymore.

Everyone greeted Li Taibai warmly and respectfully, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

After a few words, the atmosphere at the scene relaxed a lot.

One of them even asked Li Taibai for his opinion on this battle.

This time, a member of the royal family appeared in the battle for the sword, which was extremely sensitive to many forces.

Originally, the royal family and these forces barely maintained a balance, and a large part of the reason was that the Dahe Sword Sect was at the front.

However, once Chu Yang wins the position of Sword Master, the situation in Chu State will undergo earth-shaking changes.

If Chu Yang succeeds Li Taibai's position, I'm afraid there will be no world outside the imperial court. This is also something that worries many forces.

However, some forces are looking forward to Chu Yang's victory. In this way, the sword sect will become the sword sect of the royal family in the future, and their forces will take the opportunity to rise to power.

It can only be said that everyone has different calculations, and they don’t just want to see Lin Tianwu and Chu Yang’s duel!

Li Taibai dealt with these people calmly, but refused to reveal too much information.

But now he felt a little uneasy. He felt that some eyes seemed to be hostile, and he had a feeling that a storm was about to come.

After chatting casually for a while, Sima Shi couldn't help but said:

"Brother Taibai, I think it's almost time. Can we start? I can't wait to watch a good show!"

"Since you are not coming to see me, an old man, and you are entering the realm of swordsmanship with me, it is time for the young people to move around."

After hearing this, everyone in the palace immediately became energetic and couldn't wait to watch a good show.

At this moment, the territory of Sword Heart was already crowded with people. As Li Taibai led a group of important people to enter, the atmosphere reached its peak.

Many people looked over and felt the vague aura of Dharma on Li Taibai and others, feeling both fearful and envious.

Li Taibai, Sima Shi and others flew to the mid-air viewing hall, which was located in the center of the crowd and at the highest position, with an unobstructed view of the entire Sword Heart.

After everyone sat down, Li Taibai glanced at the presiding elder: "How long until the competition starts?"

"It's still half an hour away!"

The elder answered respectfully.

"Let the true disciples enter, let the seniors from each sect get to know each other first!"
