Bainian Hanshan’s eyes suddenly narrowed, but his first response wasn’t to look at Xiahou, but at Bu Ling beside him!
Did we fall into Xia’s trap again?
Bu Ling hurriedly replied, "Sect Leader, I have carefully reviewed the information of each person who challenged Bainian Xiang’s team, and found nothing unusual."
"Information?"
Xiahou’s laughter was continuous.
This ti, it was clearly mocking the Hidden Dragon Sect for their naivety.
Then, Xiahou spoke again, "If the information could be one hundred percent accurate, how did you lose that round?"
"You!"
A thought suddenly erged in Bainian Hanshan’s mind, suggesting that the intelligence had been maliciously altered.
This intelligence was bought from the Hundred Sects Alliance, and it usually shouldn’t be vastly inaccurate. Even if it’s not entirely precise, it should allow for a rough estimation of one’s power based on the information.
The only possibility is that it was altered.
Xiahou chuckled, "Hanshan, you’re a smart person, you should have thought of that by now. You want to use an Upper Profound Realm to increase Bainian Xiang’s points, but how can I, Xiahou, let you wish co true?"
...
Within the battle area.
Bainian Xiang and four others entered the battlefield.
A hundred ters away, their opponents—Ancient Moon Pavilion’s team—awaited.
Ancient Moon Pavilion was not a remarkable power in Heaven and Earth Lake, rely a simple Four-star Influence.
In every aspect, it was inferior to Bainian Xiang’s team—even though their composition was similar, having both Upper and Lower Realm mbers.
The leader of the Upper Profound Realm from Ancient Moon Pavilion suddenly opened his ridian Gate, and earth-yellow Vein Qi rippled outward.
Then, the earth-yellow Vein Qi suddenly retracted and attached to the body of the Upper Profound Realm person.
Barbaric Demon Spirit Body—reappears!
"Xia Lanshan, please enlighten !" Xia Lanshan, after activating the Barbaric Demon Spirit Body, cupped his fist towards Bainian Xiang.
"A Great Success Barbaric Demon Spirit Body!"
The Upper Profound Realm sword-wielding youth leading Hidden Dragon Sect’s team was imdiately shocked.
The person before him was similar to the opponent who defeated Sister Wen ng and her team.
At least in realm and spirit body!
The gap between him and Wen ng was already considerable, and now he faced soone from Xia Family who could precisely counter the current stage of Hidden Dragon Sect’s sword technique.
The odds of winning were even more uncertain!
Yet the arrow was drawn, there was no turning back!
The sword-wielding youth said, "The situation is unexpected, but still manageable. Xiang, you all retreat first and keep a ten-foot distance from . Let test him. I’ll knock him down first!"
Afraid?
Of course, he wouldn’t be afraid!
As soon as he finished speaking, the slender sword was unsheathed.
The mont the long sword was unsheathed, the youth’s ridian Gate randomly opened.
Bang!
Golden Vein Qi flowed through the ridian Gate into the bright long sword in the youth’s hand, enveloping it. More precisely, the golden Vein Qi made the long sword sharper and sturdier.
"Senior Brother Bu Lan, be careful." Bainian Xiang advised before retreating with those beside him, "Everyone be careful, keep an eye on those four. If they interfere with Senior Brother Bu Lan’s fight, we’ll join."
"Understood."
The other three simultaneously opened their ridian Gates, ready for battle.
At this mont, Bu Lan and Xia Lanshan were already engaged in battle.
Bu Lan’s sword was direct, unlike Wen ng who would use the ground as a dium to unleash different Vein Techniques. Bu Lan’s sword chopped directly downwards, augnted by Vein Techniques, engaging Xia Lanshan in close combat.
Bang!
Bu Lan’s sword repeatedly chopped towards the swinging fist, but each ti it struck the golden Vein Qi it was deflected.
Seeing this wasn’t effective, Bu Lan retreated two steps, and his ridian Gate trembled, saying, "Xia Lanshan, try this move!"
With that, Bu Lan’s sword speed suddenly spiked!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
In an instant, Bu Lan slashed at Xia Lanshan thirty tis.
Every slash emitted strong sword intent, and every trace of sword intent and sword aura was like a blade, all slicing towards Xia Lanshan. After thirty slashes, they all landed on various parts of Xia Lanshan’s body.
Bang!
Dust rose—
Xia Lanshan suddenly retreated over ten steps amidst dense dust, staggering to stabilize his body.
The Vein Qi Shield in his hand shattered with a sound.
Bang!
Witnessing this, Bainian Hanshan imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Though Arbitrary Saber is rely a Yellow Level Top-Grade Vein Skill, Bu Lan managed to reach Great Success Realm with it, slashing thirty tis in an instant. Truly remarkable!"
Bu Ling hurriedly added, "Sect Leader, Bu Lan’s Arbitrary Saber is actually at Perfection. The Hundred Sects Alliance didn’t even uncover it. In this battle, the outco is still uncertain!"
"Indeed!"
Bainian Hanshan finally showed a long-lost smile.
Can’t one have hidden abilities?
If Arbitrary Saber is perfected, in so ways, its destructive power isn’t lesser than the Minor Success of Profound Secret Lower Grade Vein Technique.
In these circumstances, the stamina consumption of Yellow Level Top-Grade Vein Skill is lower than Profound Secret Lower Grade Vein Technique.
There’s no fear in a war of attrition!
No need to worry about the situation that occurred when Wen ng faced off against Xia Family!
"Thank you for the praise, Sect Leader!"
Bu Ling finished speaking, glancing at Xiahou.
Unconcerned, Xiahou chuckled, "This is just taking the upper hand with a single move, it’s only just begun..."
"Haha!" Within the battle area, Xia Lanshan, like Xiahou, laughed instead of getting angry.
After stabilizing, he shook his arms vigorously to dispel the numbness. The ridian Gate trembled again, and behind Xia Lanshan, as the gate vibrated, a Barbaric Bull erged.
The bull body reached a few ters, with horns a ter long. As Xia Lanshan took a step forward, the bull followed suit, making thudding footstep sounds, as if the phantom were a real living creature.
"You haven’t cultivated Profound Level Vein Technique, have you? Well, with your rank of over two thousand on the rookie list, why would you have the privilege to cultivate Profound Secret Lower Grade Vein Technique?" Xia Lanshan’s lips curled into a confident smile.
A cold snort, unflinching, said, "So what, Yellow Level Top-Grade Vein Skill can still cut you down!"
"Naive!"
Bang!
With that, Xia Lanshan took a step.
Accompanied by this loud noise, Xia Lanshan leaped high then crashed down towards Bu Lan like a teor.
Bu Lan promptly withdrew his sword to one side, while slashing thirty tis again, eting the seemingly false bull horns.
Thud!
Thud!
With the collision sounds, Xia Lanshan was completely unaffected, and the previously fierce sword intent and aura lost their potency. After shaking off the sword intent and aura, Xia Lanshan charged straight towards Bu Lan.
Their distance now was only twenty ters.
For Upper Profound Realm, this wasn’t considered a distance.
Just one opportunity from twenty ters away was enough to secure victory.
Thus, Bu Lan had no choice but to counterattack!
His sword strikes again, but this ti, after thirty slashes, unlike earlier, didn’t directly attack Xia Lanshan. Instead, after these sword auras and intent, it suddenly converged from thirty to one, focusing on a single point.
This one point was a sword intent.
This one point was a sword aura.
But the feeling it brought was far stronger than the previous thirty slashes.
Bu Lan shouted angrily, "Despicable scoundrel, face the sword!"
Arbitrary Saber!
Perfection Realm!
Countering Xia Lanshan’s Barbaric Demon Spirit Body!
"Perfection?"
Xia Lanshan’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
