188 Battle Between the Dao Seeds!

Faced with the absence of Gu Shujue and the other two, some cultivators were puzzled.

They looked around, as if waiting for something.

This made everyone’s discussions even louder.

“With such a phenomenon, the three top geniuses would have arrived immediately. But why haven’t they arrived yet?”

“The three of them can’t come because I saw that the three of them had already been beaten out of the mystic realm by Shen Ran of the Empyrean Sword Sect.”

“What! Gu Shujue and the other two are all top geniuses, but they were all beaten out?”

“Not only that, I also saw that Zhou Ziran and Xu Lingfeng attacked together at that time, but they were not Shen Ran’s match at all.”

“…”

When these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions changed.

All of them looked at Shen Ran in shock.

Even Lei Qianren and Ji Qinglin also looked at Shen Ran.

After all, Gu Shujue and the other two were all top geniuses of the Southern Region. They could not even defeat Shen Ran when they joined forces, which surprised them.

When Ji Qinglin heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He looked at Shen Ran with a playful smile.

It was also this smile that made the others shudder when they saw it.

At this moment, Ji Qinglin slowly stood up and stared at Shen Ran. Then he glanced at everyone.

“Everyone, since all of you are here, I might as well tell you directly.”

“There are many natural treasures in the cave behind me that you can’t imagine.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the cultivators changed, and they revealed deep excitement.

However, what Ji Qinglin said next disappointed them.

At this moment, Ji Qinglin continued, “As the saying goes, natural treasures belong to the capable. Even if you rush into the cave now to obtain those natural treasures, I don’t think you can successfully take them away.”

“Therefore, what I mean is, why don’t you compete here? Whoever wins will obtain the right to enter the cave.”

As soon as these words were spoken, countless cultivators were puzzled.

All of them looked at Ji Qinglin blankly.

“Does Ji Qinglin know what he’s talking about?”

“Since he said that, why didn’t he directly enter the cave earlier? Instead, he waited for so many people to arrive.”

“That’s right. Now, after waiting for so many people to be present, he suddenly said this. What exactly does this mean?”

“…”

While many cultivators were puzzled, Ji Qinglin blinked and looked at Shen Ran.

Then he opened his mouth to continue.

However, just as he was about to speak, Shen Ran, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up.

Shen Ran, who stood up, looked at Ji Qinglin at first glance.

He knew Ji Qinglin’s actions very well.

He just wanted to use this method to show the rest that he could defeat Shen Ran.

This was also what Shen Ran wanted to see.

At the same time, it was not only Ji Qinglin, but also Chen Beixuan and Xiao Han in the distance. Since the two of them were both here, it must mean that their opportunities were also in this cave.

He could deal with the two of them here.

Thinking of this, Shen Ran looked at Ji Qinglin.

“There’s no need to go on. You and I both know the reason. There’s no need to waste too much time. Let’s start immediately.”

As soon as he said this, Ji Qinglin was stunned for a moment before his face revealed dense joy.

He did not expect Shen Ran to be in such a hurry to die. This way, he would save a lot of effort.

With this thought in mind, Ji Qinglin took a step forward without saying anything.

As Ji Qinglin took a step forward, a boundless spiritual energy fluctuation rose crazily on his body.

Moreover, at this moment, the light in the sky dimmed. Stars actually appeared in the sky even at noon weather.

This sudden phenomenon stunned all the cultivators.

Moreover, at this moment, they felt an extremely strong dangerous aura fluctuation from Ji Qinglin.

Without hesitation, they retreated quickly.

As they retreated, they saw Shen Ran take a step forward.

With Shen Ran’s step, an Eternal Breath erupted from his body.

His aura circulated in this world, causing a violent wind to sweep out, and phenomena surged out from all directions.

Sensing this aura fluctuation, the expressions of the cultivators changed again.

“It seems that between the two Dao Seeds of the Empyrean Sword Sect, this moment will decide who is the stronger one.

“There’s going to be a good show. Moreover, this is a good thing for us. After all, they’re all from the Empyrean Sword Sect. Even if one of them wins in the end, it’s very beneficial to us.”

“That’s true, but don’t forget that the difference in their cultivation levels is so great. One is at the ninth level of the Illumination Realm, and the other is at the sixth level of the Illumination Realm. They’re on completely different levels. I think Shen Ran can’t be Ji Qinglin’s match.”

“It’s hard to say. After all, Gu Shujue, Zhou Ziran, and Xu Lingfeng were all at the eighth level of the Illumination Realm. Although they have the advantage in cultivation, they’re still not Shen Ran’s match.”

“That’s right. Most importantly, Zhou Ziran and Xu Lingfeng failed to defeat Shen Ran even when they joined forces. I think that although Ji Qinglin is also a Dao Seed, he can’t defeat Shen Ran.”

“Aren’t you underestimating Ji Qinglin a little too much! Ji Qinglin is someone who has the Star Divine Body. Moreover, it’s said that he has already mastered it. Now that there’s a huge difference in cultivation, you actually think he’s not Shen Ran’s match?”

“…”

For a moment, although this battle had yet to begin, everyone was discussing the outcome of this battle.

It was because this battle should determine the winner.

Some of them thought highly of Shen Ran, and there were others who favored Ji Qinglin.

In the distance, Lei Qianren was also looking at the two of them. Although they were both top geniuses, this was an internal matter of the Empyrean Sword Sect. He naturally did not want to participate.

After all, these two were not weaklings. Naturally, they would not embarrass themselves.

When Chen Beixuan and Xiao Han saw this, they looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other’s eyes.

They naturally wanted to see such a scene. After all, this would be very helpful to their subsequent plans.

However, just as the two of them looked at each other, suddenly they felt a sharp gaze lock onto them.

The two of them couldn’t help but look at the source of the gaze.

It was none other than Shen Ran!

Similarly, the other cultivators saw this scene.

When they saw Shen Ran suddenly look at Chen Beixuan and Xiao Han, everyone was stunned. They did not understand what Shen Ran wanted to do.

What he said next made everyone’s eyes widen.

They saw Shen Ran looking at Chen Beixuan and Xiao Han and speaking calmly.

“You two can come at me together.”
