With their mouths wide open, everyone gasped for air as if they were short of oxygen.
It was all because of that terrifying and dazzling sword strike.
How terrifying was that sword strike? It was completely unforgettable.
That sword strike came from Ling Xiao!
A martial artist who was only at the Ninth Firmament of the Celestial Realm half a year ago.
Today, with that sword strike, he completely defeated the arrogant Second Grotto-Heaven Realm genius, Shangguan Hong!
Before Ling Xiao made his move, most people would not have thought of such an outcome.
They thought that Ling Xiao was no match for Shangguan Hong.
Even Feng Xidao, who was defeated by Ling Xiao, thought that Shangguan Hong was stronger.
However, that sword strike was a slap to many people's faces.
Miserable screams echoed in the Imperial Capital Square, causing people to tremble.
One of Shangguan Hong's arms was chopped off. As it fell, it melted completely and turned into ashes, disappearing without a trace.
Ling Xiao showed mercy.
He had originally planned to kill Shang Guan Hong, but Shang Guan Hong's sudden repentance made him change his mind. He only cut off one of his arms.
Shangguan Hong looked at his chopped off arm in disbelief. The wound was already charred, and the blood had stopped flowing.
"Why did you let me go? You know that I wanted you dead! "
He really did not believe that he was still alive. Rumor had it that Ling Xiao was a demon who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. It was almost impossible for anyone to survive under his hands.
Ling Xiao withdrew his battle intent and smiled. "Because you repented, you saved yourself. I don't think I need to say more about your future path. There's still some time before the Longhu Selection. I believe that you will become stronger. "
"But if I return to Qingxu College now, will the people there still accept me? Will the people of Phoenix Academy spare me? "
Shangguan Hong asked.
"You can't expect me to be your babysitter. What you've done will definitely be hated by others. Therefore, there are some consequences that you have to bear. I can only say that I won't despise you. As for the people from the Phoenix Academy, even if they were given a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble for you in the academy."
Ling Xiao said indifferently, "That's all I have to say. You're on your own now."
Shangguan Hong lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she raised her head and said, "I want to go back. The teachers in Qingxu College treat me well, especially Senior Sister Mingkong and Vice Dean Feng Qingyan. Even if they scold me to death, I will accept it.
Now, I just want to be like you and be myself. If anyone from the Phoenix Academy wants to come, I'll accompany them to the end! "
"Good, that's a proud man!"
What Ling Xiao didn't say was that as long as Shang Guan Hong sincerely returned to Qingxu College, he would help if the Phoenix Academy sent someone stronger than Shang Guan Hong to cause trouble.
After all, he was the one who persuaded Shang Guan Hong to return.
The crowd couldn't seem to close their mouths.
If the fact that Ling Xiao had defeated Shang Guan Hong in such an arrogant manner was already enough to shock them, then Ling Xiao's arrogance had already shocked them.
However, the fact that Shang Guan Hong didn't hate Ling Xiao after losing an arm and even agreed to return to Qingxu College shocked them even more.
Shang Guan Hong was now a member of the Phoenix Academy. Although there were no rules that forbade him from leaving, would the Phoenix Academy let him go so easily?
"Shang Guan Hong, you have to think carefully. Leaving the Phoenix Academy isn't as easy as leaving Qingxu College. You have to pay a price."
Jia Tianfeng looked coldly at Shang Guan Hong and said.
"That's right. It's easy to join the Phoenix Academy, but it's not so easy to leave."
Kongming added.
"What a joke. That's how you threatened me in the past. I admitted defeat because I lost to Ji Mingxing. I've already been a coward once. This time, I won't be afraid anymore. Who do you think you are? Don't think that you can climb over my head just because I lost to Ling Xiao. Come and fight me if you dare!"
Shang Guan Hong looked at Jia Tianfeng and Kongming domineeringly and shouted.
"You mean, the two of us?"
Jia Tianfeng and Kongming looked at each other and revealed a sinister smile.
"That's right. Both of you come at me together. If I lose, not only will I give up my position as the Phoenix, but I'll also commit suicide on the spot."
Shang Guan Hong said loudly.
Jia Tianfeng and Kongming glanced at Ling Xiao. They were full of fear for Ling Xiao.
"Don't worry, I won't interfere."
Ling Xiao turned around and walked down the stage slowly.
Next, it was Shang Guan Hong's turn to perform.
Jia Tianfeng and Kongming were really stupid. Shang Guan Hong did lose to Ling Xiao, but Shang Guan Hong's strength was definitely much stronger than an ordinary Second Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artist. Even if he faced an ordinary Third Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artist, he wouldn't be afraid.
Jia Tianfeng and Kongming might be strong, but they had just stepped into the Second Grotto-Heaven Realm.
If Ling Xiao wasn't wrong, this battle wouldn't take long.
"Ah ~ ~"
"Impossible!"
In just a few breaths.
In just two moves.
Before Ling Xiao returned to his seat, Jia Tianfeng and Kongming had already flown down the stage.
"Two pieces of trash, how dare you threaten me? Do you really think you're Ling Xiao? "
Shang Guan Hong only had one arm left, but he seemed to be stronger than before.
This was because he had learned a lot from the battle with Ling Xiao. Although he wasn't as strong as Ling Xiao, he definitely benefited a lot.
Looking at Jia Tianfeng and Kongming who had fallen to the ground.
The crowd was stirred up again.
In front of Shang Guan Hong, Feng Xidao was defeated!
Jia Tianfeng was defeated!
Kongming was also defeated!
And Jia Tianfeng and Kongming had teamed up.
However, Ling Xiao easily won and broke Shang Guan Hong's arm, making Shang Guan Hong worship him even more.
How strong was Ling Xiao?
There was probably no need to think too much about the position of the Phoenix today. It would definitely be Ling Xiao and Shang Guan Hong.
"Hahaha, good. Our Divine Phoenix Empire is really full of talents. Today, We hereby announce that Shang Guan Hong is the ninth Phoenix and will be conferred the title of 'Rainbow Phoenix'!
Ji Luoyu is the tenth Phoenix and will be conferred the title of 'Falling Rain Phoenix'. "
Fengming Wuliang stood up and announced the result of the battle for the Phoenix.
That's not right!
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Ling Xiao is clearly the strongest, why isn't he the Phoenix? Instead, Ji Luoyu was conferred the position of Phoenix? "
"This isn't fair."
"That's right. How can the Monarch make such a judgment? It's too disappointing."
Hearing the discussions below the stage, Fengming Wuliang chuckled and said, "Everyone, don't be anxious. The reason why We didn't confer the title of Dragon King Ling Xiao as Phoenix is because We know he won't accept it."
"So that's the case. Ling Xiao is indeed arrogant and shouldn't be willing to be restrained."
"That makes sense."
"I think it's bullsh * t!"
Ling Xiao's voice covered all the discussions. He looked coldly at Fengming Wuliang and said, "Whether I accept it or not, that's my business. Whether you confer the title or not, that's your business. Don't mix the two together!
Even if I don't accept it, you should still ask me and ask for my opinion.
Are you treating me as if I don't exist?
Favoritism is favoritism. Why do you need to flatter yourself? "
