"Yun Xiao, I really didn’t expect you to make it this far!"
Watching Yun Xiao step onto the platform, Shen Xiao put aside the peculiar thoughts in his heart and suddenly uttered such a condescending remark. Perhaps in his heart, he still didn’t believe Yun Xiao had any real talent?
Indeed, Yun Xiao did defeat Feng Hang yesterday, but many concealed tactics were also revealed to the public. Shen Xiao evidently realized this and thought that by being extra cautious after seeing through these tactics, he would not fall into the sa trap as Feng Hang.
Hearing Shen Xiao’s arrogant words, a glint of cold light flashed in Yun Xiao’s eyes. What he detested most were hypocrites who said one thing to soone’s face but another behind their back.
Ever since Shen Xiao shafully conceded in the match involving Ling Wan yesterday and then attempted to poison his opponent, Yun Xiao had seen through his true colors. Therefore, in today’s battle, he wouldn’t show the slightest rcy.
"Ha ha, I also didn’t expect Brother Shen Xiao to reach this point. Yesterday’s battle truly let witness Brother Shen Xiao’s... techniques!"
When it ca to verbal sparring, Yun Xiao, reincarnated as the Long Xiao Battle God, might have no equal in the entire Jade Pot Sect. His response not only returned the favor to Shen Xiao’s arrogance but also subtly ridiculed Shen Xiao’s despicable tactics from yesterday’s victory, killing two birds with one stone.
Initially wearing a proud expression, Shen Xiao’s face turned sowhat gloomy after Yun Xiao’s words, grumbling, "This Outer Sect competition ring isn’t a place to see whose words are sharper. Don’t assu that just because you’ve defeated Feng Hang, you can look down on everyone!"
"Asshole!"
Shen Xiao’s words were not very concealed. Yun Xiao on the platform might not have reacted, but in a corner below the platform, a figure in a purple robe muttered a curse in a low growl.
This figure was none other than Feng Hang, whom Yun Xiao had blasted off the platform yesterday, even breaking one of his right arms. He was once the top genius on the Outer Sect Mortal List, but having tumbled from his pedestal, it was inevitable that he would find it unbearable to be ridiculed in such a manner.
But what could Feng Hang do? With an arm broken, he wasn’t just outmatched by Shen Xiao on the platform; even so peak ridian Gathering Realm Outer Sect geniuses might no longer be his opponents.
What irritated Feng Hang the most was that Shen Xiao, if he wanted to insult Yun Xiao, should just insult Yun Xiao. Why did he always have to drag Feng Hang into it? Was the forr really that inferior to that guy?
Putting aside Feng Hang’s silent cursing below the platform, Yun Xiao on top didn’t feel a thing towards such remarks. He was happy to engage in a war of words with Shen Xiao as he had never lost in the field of rhetoric.
"Hehe, Brother Feng Hang might be insignificant, but in my view, Brother Shen Xiao, aside from having more little tricks, your ridian Qi fighting strength doesn’t seem to be much stronger than his!"
Yun Xiao’s face still wore a faint smile. These words once again brought Shen Xiao’s shaful actions from yesterday to the forefront, making his face turn from green to white, bitterly regretting why he had bothered to waste so much breath on this sharp-tongued youngster.
anwhile, the spectators around the platform turned their eyes in unison toward the purple-robed figure, witnessing his uncontrollable trembling.
At that mont, quite a few kind-hearted people felt pity for Feng Hang. The two on the platform were utterly ruthless, using Feng Hang as a point of reference in every sentence, which was essentially like rubbing salt into Feng Hang’s wounds.
"You sharp-tongued brat, once I knock out all your teeth, let’s see if you can still be so eloquent!"
Shen Xiao finally realized he was no match for Yun Xiao in a battle of wits and decided to stop wasting words. As he finished speaking, a powerful surge of ridian Qi burst forth from him.
This forr second-ranked talent on the Outer Sect Mortal List, though despised for his despicable actions, still remained a standout among the Outer Sect disciples.
After Feng Hang’s arm was broken by Yun Xiao, toppling him from his pedestal, Shen Xiao could be considered the foremost among Outer Sect disciples in a certain sense.
As for Song Tian, who had also recently advanced to the ridian Rushing Realm Early Stage, no one considered him on par with the seasoned Shen Xiao. Now, the situation had beco whether a rising Outer Sect newcor at the peak of the ridian Gathering Realm could topple Shen Xiao from his position.
From the mont they faced each other, the platform was filled with tension, making the watching prodigies even more excited for the battle. They knew that this would not be a simple friendly match, but rather a life-and-death struggle.
Though Yun Xiao appeared unconcerned on the surface, deep down he was on high alert. He believed that Shen Xiao’s strength was certainly not inferior to Feng Hang’s, it was just that Shen Xiao excelled in deception, letting Feng Hang take on the lilight of being first on the Mortal List while reaping the benefits from behind the scenes.
Yet, in this final showdown of the Outer Sect competition, a battle to determine who was truly the number one disciple of this generation, Yun Xiao believed that Shen Xiao would no longer hide his abilities and might prove to be even more difficult to deal with than Feng Hang.
"Rage of the Furious Lion!"
Shen Xiao let out a low shout, and imdiately everyone saw a huge and ferocious lion head appear in front of him. Witnessing this scene, the crowd couldn’t help but glance again at Feng Hang, who was standing sowhere below the stage.
At this mont, the lion head condensed by Shen Xiao with ridian Qi was clearly a powerful and formidable ridian Technique, and this technique seed to be very similar to the Tiger Head ridian Technique that Feng Hang had used yesterday.
"This guy, he really did hide his strength!"
However, so veteran talents among the outer disciples, upon sensing the aura within that lion head, couldn’t help but curl their lips slightly, as the aura was hardly weaker than the Tiger Head ridian Technique that Feng Hang had displayed yesterday.
For these outer disciples, their impression had always been that Feng Hang was the best, with Shen Xiao close behind, until this mont when they sensed the aura of the lion head, they finally realized that these top talents of the Outer Sect had barely ever clashed directly with each other.
Moreover, each encounter between Shen Xiao and Feng Hang was subtle and swift, with never a clear winner, as Shen Xiao would ’recognize the difficulty and retreat,’ creating an illusion for the many outer disciples that Shen Xiao "knew he was inferior" and thus retreated quietly.
Regardless of what these spectating talented disciples thought, Yun Xiao had never underestimated Shen Xiao, who was ranked second on the Mortal List. This impression was set from the very first ti he t Shen Xiao in the Yurong Mountains.
Yun Xiao had once seen Shen Xiao in action in the Yurong Volcano, where the Lion Head ridian Technique had erupted with extraordinary power, leaving even a Fourth Rank Low Level Fire Spirit Snake scrambling in disarray.
Therefore, Yun Xiao could not afford to be the slightest bit careless about the attack of the Lion Head ridian Technique. As his hands moved rhythmically, a sowhat ethereal ridian Qi Giant Sword appeared in front of him.
For so reason, even though Yun Xiao had used the ridian Qi Sword countless tis, every ti he perford it, the spectators would be shocked anew.
After all, the aura emanating from Yun Xiao indicated that he only possessed the peak Cultivation of the ridian Gathering Realm, and externalizing ridian Qi below the ridian Rushing Realm seed unbelievable, which was the real reason for the crowd’s astonishnt.
Yun Xiao didn’t entertain many thoughts. The mont his ridian Qi Sword took shape, the Lion Head ridian Technique controlled by Shen Xiao was already charging at him furiously, its fierce open maw seemingly ready to swallow his entire body in one bite.
Boom!
The ridian Qi Giant Sword finally clashed with the lion head, but as Yun Xiao was at the peak of the ridian Gathering Realm, his ridian Qi was ultimately a bit lacking. In just a breath’s ti, the ridian Qi Sword dissipated like smoke, while the aura of the massive lion head did not weaken by much.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just as everyone thought Yun Xiao was about to be bitten by the lion head, they saw the young man’s hands move rhythmically again, and consequently, three ridian Qi Swords appeared in succession in front of him, bombarding the lion head one after another.
"To think he has such a tactic!"
Seeing this, even so of the ridian Rushing Realm talents from the inner sect couldn’t help but feel amazed because externalizing ridian Qi was their specialty. Even for them, it was not possible to continuously perform externally manifested ridian Techniques like that, as it required a substantial amount of ridian Qi to sustain.
But why could Yun Xiao, at the peak of the ridian Gathering Realm, continuously execute four ridian Qi Swords, and so swiftly at that? This puzzled even the three Great Elders seated in the north, leaving them without a clue.
The reason was that the ridian Techniques Yun Xiao currently employed ca from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud in the Supre Plane—how could these low-level practitioners from the Hidden Dragon Continent comprehend such thods?
Whether it was Yun Xiao’s thod of externalizing ridian Qi or the technique of consecutively gathering ridian Qi Swords, both were unique in the Hidden Dragon Continent, naturally causing bewildernt among both old and young spectators.
Boom!
Setting aside the thoughts of the watching crowd, after continuous strikes from the four ridian Qi Swords, the lion head assembled by Shen Xiao’s ridian Qi finally couldn’t withstand the fierce impact. It burst open, turning into a sky full of energy fragnts that dissipated into the air.
In fact, that Shen Xiao’s Lion Head ridian Technique forced Yun Xiao to release four swords in succession to shatter it, ant that Shen Xiao had gained an absolute advantage. However, at this mont, he was far from feeling jubilant.
In Shen Xiao’s heart, his plan entailed using this low-level Spiritual Rank Lion Head ridian Technique to decisively defeat Yun Xiao, thereby reversing the fact that he had always been outdone by Feng Hang.
Shen Xiao had always been confident about himself and had even found Yun Xiao’s weak point—the gap in their ridian Qi Cultivation. What he hadn’t anticipated was that Yun Xiao could consecutively summon four ridian Qi Swords in such a short period of ti.
If quality didn’t suffice, then quantity would compensate. It could be said that Yun Xiao had used his unique technique to break through Shen Xiao’s first powerful attack. Now, what he had to do was not continue to exchange blows with this Early Stage ridian Rushing Realm genius; that would only put him at more of a disadvantage.
