"Heh, and what qualifications do you have to criticise my affairs, you trash ranked tenth among the top ten core disciples!"
Facing ng Yuan’s mockery, Ling Xiao countered sharply, "If I had only reached the Transcendent Realm Seventh Heaven in cultivation level at your age, I would have long since slamd my head into a wall in sha, how shaful is that!"
He was not afraid of ng Yuan.
Although it was unlikely that he was ng Yuan’s match at present, if he wanted to flee for his life, ng Yuan would have no way to deal with him whatsoever.
"You!"
ng Yuan’s killing intent grew stronger, but he really didn’t dare to make a move in front of Lan Yu’er.
" what? It was just a friendly match. Jian Renwang actually took banned pills, doesn’t that count as a violation?"
Ling Xiao continued coldly, "Moreover, in the end, Jian Renwang’s injuries were all self-inflicted, what do they have to do with ? He was poisoned because he used a deadly toxin himself, and he was gravely injured because he took banned pills. For such a person, all I can say is that he deserves it!"
Challenged by Ling Xiao’s well-argued words, like a barrage of arrows, ng Yuan’s originally fair skin flushed with anger and embarrassnt.
With his arrogant and conceited nature, aside from Demonfla Celestial, no one had ever dared to scold him so publicly. How could he tolerate it?
"Good! Such a sharp tongue! Since that’s the case, I — ng Yuan, as an Inner Sect Disciple, challenge you to a friendly match. If you’re really a man, then accept it!"
ng Yuan said coldly.
Perhaps because he was suppressing his rage, his voice was shaky and filled with anger.
"Hahaha!"
Ling Xiao suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" ng Yuan asked.
"I laugh because you truly live up to being a disciple of that old coot Demonfla Celestial. You didn’t learn anything good but picked up the habit of bullying the weak with your strength, of being a bully!"
Ling Xiao said disdainfully, "A mighty Transcendent Realm Seventh Heaven expert actually wants to have a friendly match with a re Half-step Grandmaster from the Outer Sect, don’t you have any sense of sha? If word of this were to spread, even if you aren’t afraid of being ridiculed by other sects, doesn’t the Moon Hua Sect have any dignity left?"
Beneath the challenge arena, many Inner Sect Disciples felt extrely embarrassed.
It was acceptable for Jian Renwang to request a friendly match with Ling Xiao because Jian Renwang only had a Transcendent Realm First Layer cultivation level.
The so-called Inner Sect joint training was prepared for these Inner Sect Disciples with Transcendent Realm First Layer cultivation, to help them regain confidence from the Outer Disciples.
Under normal circumstances, Inner Sect Disciples with cultivation levels above the Transcendent Realm Second Layer wouldn’t get involved.
Now, ng Yuan even had the audacity to say he wanted to have a friendly match with Ling Xiao, completely forgetting his own status.
"So disappointing, how could Brother ng Yuan behave like this."
"Exactly, that’s just too petty."
"Narrow-minded, and also shaless."
"How could I have ever admired such a person, sigh."
Listening to the crowd’s discussion, ng Yuan’s face burned with embarrassnt.
Even Hei Suo and Ming Tian hid behind others, unable to bear the sha.
"Since you want a match so badly, let this young lady accompany you!"
Just as ng Yuan was at a loss whether to attack forcefully or not, an icy voice rang out.
Those were a pair of long, shapely legs.
Lan Yu’er floated onto the challenge arena and then stared at ng Yuan, saying, "ng Yuan, both of us are core disciples. A friendly match would be evenly matched, and more productive, too. To avoid people saying you took advantage of soone’s weakness, how about we give it a try?"
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lan Yu’er stood beside Ling Xiao, her beautiful eyes glancing around with grace.
On her pretty cheeks, however, a chilling coldness was emanating.
Looking at Lan Yu’er beside him, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, "Sister Lan, you really didn’t have to do this."
Lan Yu’er’s cherry lips showed a trace of a smile, "I know you aren’t afraid of him, but there is no need to rush to reveal so tactics."
After speaking, she turned to look at ng Yuan and continued, "ng Yuan, as one of the ten Core Disciples, sparring with an Outer Disciple is sowhat below the dignity of a Core Disciple. It won’t look good if word gets out. With the battle for the position of ’Young Sect Master’ upon us, it would be beneficial for both of us to spar right here."
ng Yuan watched Lan Yu’er with considerable wariness in his heart.
He was very clear about his own strengths, and while he was not afraid of the ordinary Inner Sect Disciples, within the top ten Core Disciples, each was tough to deal with, and he was ranked towards the bottom.
Especially since Lan Yu’er was ranked second.
He couldn’t help but glance at Ling Xiao and sneered, "Ling Xiao, I see you’re just as I thought, nothing more than a coward who hides behind a woman!"
Ling Xiao grinned and laughed, "Hahaha, I get it now, you’re jealous, aren’t you? Jealous that Sister Lan is willing to protect and ignores you, right?"
ng Yuan was so angry that he felt like his soul was about to burst; his innards felt like they were on fire. Ling Xiao was just too good with words.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Lan, let’s save our spar for the ’Young Sect Master’ battle then. I was too hasty earlier."
ng Yuan ultimately chose to endure.
It was a wise move; otherwise, it would not have been Ling Xiao but certainly him who would have ended up embarrassed here today.
Seeing that ng Yuan had shut up, Steward Wang unwillingly announced, "This duel is over, with Ling Xiao, the number one of the Outer Sect, as the victor. The Inner Sect Disciple Jian Renwang’s cave dwelling now belongs to Ling Xiao!"
He was responsible for the arrangent of the cave dwellings for Inner Sect Disciples with a Cultivation Level below the Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer, so his words ant that the matter was settled.
After all, even if the Stewards were displeased with soone internally, they would not show it too openly; they would just make life difficult for that person behind their back.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao smiled. Whether Jian Renwang was dead or alive, he no longer cared—all that mattered was securing the cave dwelling.
After all, wasn’t that the ulterior motive behind accepting this challenge?
He and Lan Yu’er jumped down from the challenge stage together.
The gazes of the entire venue were fixed on him.
Defeating an Inner Sect Disciple at the Pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer wasn’t hard, but defeating one with the status of an Outer Disciple and the Cultivation Level of a Half-step Grandmaster was another story.
It was absolutely an unprecedented feat.
"Sister Lan, you’ve been defending that kid so much, but I’m afraid you don’t know that he’s not far from death," soone in the crowd said, and ng Yuan, still angry and indignant, couldn’t help but call out.
"ng Yuan, what do you an by that?" Lan Yu’er asked with a frown.
"The move he used to defeat Jian Renwang just now clearly involved the ’Heavenly Thunder Phenonon’ from the ’Twelve Golden Lotus Art’! You should know, this set of Martial Arts is a taboo for our Moon Hua Sect!"
"Has Ling Xiao gone mad to cultivate such Martial Arts? Doesn’t he know how many genius Martial Artists died or were crippled because of it in the past?" another Inner Sect Disciple exclaid from the crowd.
The Twelve Golden Lotus Art!
This set of Martial Arts was a nightmare for the Moon Hua Sect, an indelible Shadow!
