As the cherry blossoms danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

Wu Hongfei also felt surprised, but it was just a feeling of surprise. In his view, if Fah Wu had not hidden his strength, the techniques he used just now, though mysterious, would still not have been enough to defeat him. However, apart from himself and Qiao Chun, it seemed that no one else could steadily defeat him.

"Junior Brother Lin, how about you take this round?" Wu Hongfei deliberately asked, his eyes sweeping over Lin Haoming.

Lin Haoming immediately agreed, "Alright!"

Seeing his agreement, Wu Hongfei was somewhat surprised.

Qiao Chun was also puzzled. Could it be that Lin Haoming had some other means besides his talisman treasure?

As everyone looked forward to his performance, Lin Haoming walked out, bowed to Fah Wu, and then said confidently, "I concede!"

Hearing the words "I concede," Wu Hongfei was momentarily stunned, especially since Lin Haoming said it with such vigor, as if conceding was a very heroic thing to do.

Lin Haoming deliberately glanced at him and then said, "Senior Brother Wu, you know very well that I am only at the Ninth Layer of the Qi Condensation stage. Master Fah Wu, in terms of both cultivation and strength, far surpasses me. Junior Brother feels that even if I risk my life, I cannot win, so I can only concede."

"Good, very good!" Wu Hongfei was furious that Lin Haoming would still blame him after conceding, making him seem petty and vengeful.

If it weren't for the others present, Wu Hongfei would have really wanted to eliminate him right away.

The Blood Refinement Sect's consecutive concessions in two rounds left the people from the Vajra Temple and the Heavenly Sword Mountain in a state of both laughter and tears.

Seeing their internal strife, it was hard to imagine how they could have any chance of making it to the end.

Of course, for Hu Xiangzhen, Fah Wu was indeed a headache. Yin Lei was already the person she considered second only to herself, and now he had been killed outright. Any other person she sent up would likely not fare well.

But even so, Hu Xiangzhen did not intend to give up. She immediately sent a disciple who practiced earth attribute techniques and had excellent defensive skills to fight.

This person only intended to drain Fah Wu's mana, with no intention of winning. Naturally, he was defeated in the end, but he did have some means. After Fah Wu cast seven or eight spells, he finally defeated him, but did not have the chance to kill him.

Seeing that Fah Wu had consumed a lot of mana, Qiao Chun immediately sent someone from the Blood Refinement Sect to take advantage of the situation. He thought he could easily win, but to his surprise, Fah Wu quickly killed the person, leaving the Blood Refinement Sect people stunned.

However, at this point, Fah Wu's mana was indeed almost depleted. When the Heavenly Sword Mountain disciple stepped up, he immediately conceded.

His concession gave the Heavenly Sword Mountain an advantage, but this disciple was indeed there to take advantage of the situation. On the Blood Refinement Sect side, Wang Chen took the initiative to fight. With his exceptional skills, he not only defeated the Heavenly Sword Mountain disciple but also killed him on the spot.

This major victory somewhat restored the Blood Refinement Sect's reputation. The next monk from the Vajra Temple was also defeated by him, though not killed. Winning two consecutive rounds was already quite difficult.

However, after his second victory, he immediately announced that he would concede the next round. Although he still had some strength left, Wang Chen knew when to stop. If he overexerted himself in the next round, it would be disastrous, given that this was a life-and-death battle.

Thus, the three sides continued to fight, each with their own victories and losses. As time passed, it slowly came down to the last few people.

Hu Xiangzhen's plan to rely on a strong foundation did not come true. Although the Blood Refinement Sect was the first to be reduced to only two people, Wu Hongfei's strength was formidable, and he had already defeated four people in a row.

Now, the only remaining person from the Heavenly Sword Mountain, apart from himself, was about to fight, but the situation did not look promising.

Sure enough, in just a few moments, the last person from the Heavenly Sword Mountain, apart from himself, was defeated. Although he was not directly killed by Wu Hongfei, he was seriously injured.

After his victory, Wu Hongfei immediately took out a high-grade spirit stone to restore his mana.

The spirit stone was definitely found in the cave, and he had never had the chance to use it before. But now, he didn't care about that.

The Vajra Temple was in the best condition among the three sects, but it was now the turn of the second-to-last person to fight.

Fah Kong and Fah Yuan exchanged glances.

Fah Kong wanted to fight first, but at this moment, the little monk Fah Yuan jumped out, smiling at Wu Hongfei and said, "Alright, stop absorbing mana. Let's go!"

Seeing Fah Yuan jump out, Wu Hongfei's eyelids involuntarily twitched as he saw him deliberately holding the Nine Profound Sword he had used for many years.

The shadow of their previous encounter still lingered, and he felt somewhat uneasy, especially with his mana greatly depleted.

Of course, conceding directly was impossible. This not only concerned himself but also the entire sect.

Wu Hongfei took a deep breath. The Nine Profound Sword had been taken by Fah Yuan, and in the previous battles, he had been using a Five Elements Sword from the Heavenly Sword Mountain勉强使用。

此时，他将五行剑插在自己面前的地上，随后拍了拍储物袋，手上多出了几根细长的银针。

所有人都看到，吴虹飞将这些银针一根根直接扎在自己身上，扎完之后，他的气息竟然比刚开始下场时还要强盛。

“你的秘法倒也有些意思啊！”法缘等他使用这套秘术，说话间，自己浑身的骨骼也“噼里啪啦”地响了起来，没多久身体就凭空拔高了一尺，身材也一下子变得异常魁梧。

双方这样的变化，预示着这将是一场不平凡的大战。

林皓明望着他们交手，心里多少也有些矛盾。

一方面他希望看到吴虹飞死，另一方面却又希望自己这边能够取胜。

只要得到那颗极品灵石，可以说，这次灵石矿争夺，血炼宗赢了。而前三名都有三颗筑基丹的奖励，以自己的收获，相信就算拿不到极品灵石，肯定也是前三名之一。

就在这样纠结矛盾之下，林皓明见到吴虹飞给自己壮胆的一声大喝之后，提着五行剑朝着法缘砍了过去。

吴虹飞也算是炼体修士，所以比一般只修炼法力的炼气期弟子持久力要好得多。此刻在秘法的刺激下，爆发的力量也着实恐怖。

法缘挥动佛珠，与之硬拼，竟然一时处于下风。

吴虹飞一开始对法缘真是忌惮，但交手至今，发现法缘似乎的确没有之前那么强了，顿时信心倍增，本来就已经很强的势头，一下子变得更加猛烈起来，法缘竟都看似有些快扛不住了.
