"Alright, let show you my prowess then."
With that, he leaped into the air, gripping his sword with both hands, and in an instant, the sword in Xu Fei’s hand glowed with a dark hue.
Daoist Taiyi remarked in surprise, "A dark attribute attack? A demon sword - sword cultivator!"
Chen Tianlong was also taken aback, as he had never seen such a strange move before. He beca highly alert.
In an instant, nine pitch-black sharp swords flew out from Xu Fei, heading towards Chen Tianlong, while he also charged forward with his sword.
Seeing this formation, Chen Tianlong quickly retreated several ters, but those swords seed not to weaken as a result.
"Heart-following Sword Demon."
Cheng Qianjin shouted, "Chen Tianlong, these swords will keep following you, quickly think of a way to shake them off."
Cheng Qianjin couldn’t help but remind him, otherwise he really would get hit.
Hearing Cheng Qianjin’s shout, Chen Tianlong imdiately understood. He rolled a few tis on the ground while his mind was racing to co up with a solution.
Just as he was thinking, the nine black swords darted towards him, and Chen Tianlong quickly swung the Dragon Slayer Sword, rolling and piercing in various directions both on the ground and in the air to block them.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong saw a large tree nearby. With a swift thought, he seed to devise a plan.
The next mont, he ran towards the tree, and the nine swords followed him.
When he was a ter away from the tree, Chen Tianlong suddenly accelerated and swiftly dodged, causing the nine black swords to crash into the tree with a "clang," instantly turning into black smoke.
After escaping the nine swords, Chen Tianlong imdiately sprinted towards Hao Kan and used his strongest move.
Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist Sixth Style
Xu Fei exerted all his strength to resist. After Chen Tianlong finished his move, he suddenly pulled out a silver needle from his pocket, which he had prepared earlier.
Then, taking advantage of Xu Fei’s unawareness, he swiftly struck, and the needle pierced one of his acupoints with a "whoosh."
"Ah!"
Xu Fei collapsed on the ground. In actuality, Chen Tianlong took a risk, as striking with a needle against a master is rarely successful, but he decided to give it a try. Unexpectedly, Xu Fei let his guard down after the earlier encounter, giving Chen Tianlong an opportunity.
Everyone was utterly surprised, wondering how the situation could have overturned so quickly. Most didn’t know how Xu Fei fell, assuming he was directly hit by Chen Tianlong’s move.
Besides Cheng Qianjin, Master Mie Wo, and Daoist Taiyi, no one else could discern the precision of this technique.
Who among them could accurately strike an opponent’s acupoint with a single needle?
"Is there anyone else who wants to co forward?" Daoist Taiyi hurriedly asked as he saw Chen Tianlong win.
After witnessing the recent scene, who would dare step forward, unless they wanted a beating? Hence, everyone quickly said, "Support the new captain."
"Alright, our new captain is Chen Tianlong, the matter is settled. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No!"
Everyone said in unison, looking at Chen Tianlong with eyes full of admiration and envy.
At this mont, Chen Tianlong was also taken aback. In such a short ti, he beca the captain—how ridiculous!
"Grateful for everyone’s support, I’m afraid I might find this responsibility hard to bear," Chen Tianlong declined. Preferring freedom, he didn’t like leading others: "I think Daoist Taiyi should select another worthy individual."
"Hey, Brother Chen Tianlong, I am not as skilled. Truly the Yangtze River’s waves push forward, and talent erges in each generation. Please don’t refuse."
Daoist Taiyi didn’t want to say much more. He conducted annual selections, suppressing to the Celestial Dao’s five-star strength, winning through the intricacy of moves, and Chen Tianlong managed to exceed his criteria and perfectly completed the task, thus the loss was justifiable.
Chen Tianlong felt a bit helpless, but he truly didn’t want to be the captain. After pondering, he said, "Everyone, let say this. I am fine with being the captain, but I enjoy my freedom. I may not always lead effectively, so I ask for your understanding."
Daoist Taiyi, seeing Chen Tianlong’s response, did not press further and asked, "What does everyone think?"
"Please let Daoist Taiyi decide, we will follow your lead."
So in the crowd shouted, prompting a discussion among the others.
"Alright, we will heed Daoist Taiyi’s call."
After a while, everyone agreed in unison.
anwhile, Xu Fei on the ground ca to but felt weak all over. Hearing everyone cheer for Daoist Taiyi, he knew the situation was settled and sighed.
Xu Fei was furious, knowing that Chen Tianlong had used a hidden weapon to defeat him. His heart burned with anger; his position, taken away in an instant, could anyone not be angry?
Therefore, he planned to make a sneaky move after his Qi flowed smoothly again. Chen Tianlong was busy greeting everyone and didn’t notice. Suddenly, Xu Fei leaped into the air to stab fiercely.
At that mont, two silhouettes appeared ghost-like, kicking Xu Fei in the stomach. The unlucky Hao Kan, just catching his breath, fell to the ground again in pain.
"Damn, who are you, and why did you hit ?"
Xu Fei was extrely frustrated. Getting beaten during a sneak attack—was easy for him?
"We are the Celestial Pill Sect’s envoys for this trial, here to lead you to the trial."
A man with an expressionless black face said.
"What? Celestial Pill Sect envoys? Acting like emperors, coming as bird envoys." Clearly, Xu Fei hadn’t grasped the situation.
anwhile, Hao Kan, Cheng Qianjin, and disciples of various sects knelt, shouting in unison, "Greetings to the Celestial Pill Sect envoys; we apologize for not welcoming you from afar, please forgive us."
"Haha, rise, everyone, no need to be so formal. Stay calm."
A chubby man, about 170 cm tall with a big smiling face, looked cheerful, forming a sharp contrast with the other envoy.
The Celestial Pill Sect envoys are essentially guides from the Cultivator Association, appointed to ensure the trial proceeds smoothly. Two Celestial Dao seven-star experts were specifically arranged for this task.
These high-ranking mbers of the Cultivator Association were well-known and their presence widely recognized within the community, bearing the moniker "Black and White Double Evil."
Offending these two is akin to offending the president himself.
Daoist Taiyi chuckled. He was responsible for selecting the captain, not concerned with the tasks of the Black and White Double Evil, so he stood aside, waiting for them to complete the procedure before departing.
Chen Tianlong found the contrast between the smiling and cold-faced envoys amusing, so he approached and asked, "Are you really the Celestial Pill Sect’s envoys?"
"Haha, little brother, absolutely, we ca under the Sect Leader’s orders to invite qualified cultivators to the Celestial Pill Sect for the trial."
The smiling envoy replied.
"Yes, the trial," the cold-faced one simply added.
