Indeed, as one of the Twelve Sects, the disciples here are really strong!
Lan Yu’er glanced at Ling Xiao, hoping to see a hint of panic or fear on his face. That way, she could feel a bit more at ease.
However, not only was there no panic or fear on Ling Xiao’s face, but there was also a hint of a smile.
Don’t tell this kid has been hiding his strength?
That was the only explanation, otherwise why wouldn’t Ling Xiao be afraid after seeing such a powerful clash?
"Ling Xiao, you still have ti to regret this!"
Yang Cheng, who was standing on the challenge stage, looked at Ling Xiao with a smile and said, completely full of himself.
"Regret? Why should I regret anything?"
Ling Xiao slowly walked up to the challenge stage and gestured towards Li Anle below with a beckoning hand, "Let’s settle things with you first, then I’ll deal with Yang Cheng. Yang Cheng, I advise you to go back and recuperate a bit."
"Truly courting death!"
Yang Cheng snorted coldly and leaped off the challenge stage, where soone had already prepared a seat for him to rest.
Li Anle chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Yang, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to go back on stage again. If he can’t even beat , he doesn’t stand a chance against you."
"Don’t be careless, don’t forget what happened last ti."
"Don’t worry, Senior Brother Yang, I won’t be careless, and certainly won’t show any rcy."
Having said that, Li Anle leaped onto the challenge stage.
This battle seed to attract more attention than the previous one between the half-step grandmasters.
An Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master challenging a half-step grandmaster; the gap was simply too great.
Such a thing had never happened before in the history of Moon Hua Sect.
This was truly an unprecedented event.
Many people ca just to see how Ling Xiao would be beaten.
This was especially true when they saw him walking with Lan Yu’er, which made their anticipation even more eager.
"Outer Sect Disciple Ling Xiao, challenges Inner Sect rank twenty-six Li Anle!"
Elder Bai announced expressionlessly.
Although he didn’t have high hopes for Ling Xiao, he was sowhat looking forward to it.
In recent years, since fewer disciples had been recruited for the Outer Sect and the talented ones were directly enrolled in the Inner Sect or beca disciples of Inner Sect Elders,
there were not many true geniuses, and level-skipping challenges, although not unheard of, had never been successful.
As a result, aside from changes in rank, no one had ever managed to break into the top thirty through a challenge.
Unless a disciple within the top thirty advanced to the Transcendent Realm and beca an Inner Sect Disciple, then soone could co in to fill the vacancy.
That had led to a lack of competitive spirit among the Outer Sect Disciples, with the top thirty feeling almost no pressure.
This was not acceptable, he hoped for change, wanted these fellows to learn a lesson.
He hoped soone could break in and completely stir up this stagnant water.
However, while he thought this way, others did not.
Upon hearing the nas of the two contenders, laughter erupted from beneath the stage, showing zero respect for Ling Xiao. So even brazenly threw eggs and rotten vegetable leaves they had found sowhere at Ling Xiao.
"Get lost!"
Ling Xiao was not one to take a loss; with a fierce shout, his True Essence burst forth wildly, turning the eggs and rotten vegetable leaves into projectiles that shot back at their originators.
Those who had thrown them at Ling Xiao didn’t even have ti to react before they were hit and bloodied.
For a master, even rotten vegetable leaves can beco weapons.
"Whoever is making trouble, get out of here right now! Disgraceful!"
Elder Bai was enraged, and as his voice bood out, a terrifying aura enveloped the entire square.
The Outer Sect disciples fell silent as if chilled to the bone.
Such a terrifying presence, that of the Transcendent Nine Realms, felt like it could drive soone to suicide.
No one dared to shout or scream anymore.
Those who had suffered losses dared not.
They could only silently bear the consequences of their own seeking, treating their wounds with things like Golden Wound Healing dicine.
"Heh heh, quite the air of authority, but you’re just unlucky to have t !"
Li Anle chuckled as he looked at Ling Xiao and spoke.
"A defeated underling like you dares to speak such words."
Ling Xiao said coldly.
"I underestimated you that day, I certainly won’t make the sa mistake today."
Li Anle stressed.
"Enough with the nonsense, I defeated you with one move that day, and I can still do it today!"
As soon as the words fell, Ling Xiao had already made his move.
Frankly, he felt there was nothing worth exchanging pointers with Li Anle about; it was purely about releasing the pent-up frustration for Wu Xiang, and for himself.
So, the mont he made his move, Ling Xiao didn’t plan on giving Li Anle any chance.
In that instant, all Li Anle could see was Ling Xiao moving.
And the next mont, he felt his own body being blown backward, then slamming heavily onto the ground.
His chest had been blasted open by sothing, leaving a large, bloody, and horrific hole.
"Ahh~~"
A scream that resembled the death cry of a pig rang out, as Li Anle writhed in agony.
"Elder Bai, this challenge is over now, isn’t it?"
Ling Xiao turned to Elder Bai, who was still in a daze, and spoke.
"Yes, yes, it’s over, Ling Xiao wins against Li Anle, Ling Xiao is victorious!"
Even though Elder Bai was very powerful, he had never seen an Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master with Martial Vein cultivation level inflict such severe injuries with a single move on a Half-step Martial Master.
Upon closer inspection, Ling Xiao’s right hand had turned into the paw of a wild beast; in fact, it looked more like the claw of a Divine Dragon.
Ling Xiao had combined the "Kill" move from Divine Prison King Fist and the "Demonization" aspect of Nine Demon God Technique: Evil Beast Demon King. This resulted in such a shocking effect.
Even he himself was a bit surprised.
This was rely a partial demonization, yet the enhancent effects of the Nine Demon God Technique were exceedingly powerful.
"Yang Cheng, co up here for !"
Having defeated Li Anle, Ling Xiao had no intention to pause even for a mont, and imdiately called out Yang Cheng’s na.
"We both have just finished a fight, which makes this fair!"
Yang Cheng was still not fully recovered from his shock when Ling Xiao’s call snapped him back to reality, revealing a fierce look in his eyes as he leaped directly onto the challenge platform.
Li Anle had been defeated too quickly.
This was sothing he truly hadn’t anticipated; he hadn’t even clearly seen how Ling Xiao won.
However, he believed he wouldn’t lose to Ling Xiao. After all, defeating Li Anle with one move was sothing he could do as well.
At this mont, he had forgotten that Ling Xiao had just demonstrated strength congruent with an Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master.
In his eyes, Ling Xiao was now barely comparable to Liu Qiang, but ultimately just another one of his defeated opponents.
On the challenge platform, Ling Xiao and Yang Cheng stood at opposing ends.
"Ling Xiao challenges the Outer Sect’s tenth ranked, Yang Cheng, begin!"
Elder Bai had recovered from his astonishnt and was staring intently at Ling Xiao, hoping to learn sothing from this young man’s combat.
This young man’s application of battle techniques was leagues above what he knew.
The earlier scene had ended too quickly; many didn’t understand what happened, but he saw it all very clearly.
Ling Xiao’s strength wasn’t just in his techniques, but lay even more in his battle skills, using the least amount of energy to achieve the greatest effect.
"Ling Xiao, do you really think that by defeating Li Anle, you actually qualify to challenge Yang?"
