Water Spirit Hall and Dragon Phoenix Mountain each brought dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivators.
The Divine Phoenix Continent also had dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivators.
The victor would be decided in one battle. Whoever won would have the qualifications to participate in the White Tiger Meet.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they had to be alive before the White Tiger Meet began.
"Brat, you've really managed to keep your life."
Number One Hero glanced coldly at Ling Xiao, clearly unwilling to accept the outcome. However, he didn't dare disobey Esteemed Master Dragon Phoenix's words.
"Likewise!"
In fact, the one who was the most upset was Ling Xiao. He had originally planned to fight a bloody battle with this number one hero.
However, this was also good. Hime Myung-kō and the others behind him also needed to fight to temper themselves and obtain the qualifications to participate in the White Tiger Meet.
In any case, he was just waiting for a while. It wasn't as if he wasn't going to fight, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Moreover, he had to give face to Esteemed Master Dragon Phoenix.
He wasn't an arrogant person. Unless someone had wronged him, he wouldn't refuse to give face to others.
The sparring began.
At the beginning, everything seemed normal. There didn't seem to be any problems.
However, when Ling Xiao's people came out to fight, problems arose.
Behind Ling Xiao, the first person to fight was Hime Myung-kō.
Her opponent was a ninth Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator from Water Spirit Hall.
Although this person's cultivation was stronger than Hime Myung-kō's, he was unable to cope with Hime Myung-kō's swordsmanship and was about to be defeated.
At that moment, Number Four Hero of Water Spirit Hall flicked a nut from his hand.
Ordinary nuts, in the hands of a powerhouse, were lethal weapons.
Number Four Hero's cultivation had already reached the half-step Yin-Yang Realm. His Yin Yang Yuan cultivation was almost at the verge of a breakthrough.
He was much stronger than Hime Myung-kō.
Moreover, he had launched a sneak attack.
Hime Myung-kō was struck by the nut and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this opportunity, the 9th Grotto Heaven Realm cultivator showed no mercy and slashed at Hime Myung-kō's neck.
Cold smiles appeared on the faces of the Water Spirit Temple cultivators.
They all thought to themselves, "That's what we should do. Since we can't deal with Ling Xiao, we should kill Ling Xiao's people so that Ling Xiao will be in so much pain that he'll wish he was dead."
However, at this moment, Ling Xiao suddenly stood up from his seat. Before anyone could figure out what he was going to do, Ling Xiao suddenly stood up.
He reached the center of the field and grabbed the neck of the ninth Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artist of Water Spirit Temple.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound reverberated throughout the entire venue. That person's neck had actually been broken by Ling Xiao.
"How dare you, Ling Xiao! What are you trying to do by interrupting the competition?"
The Divine Envoy of the Skysea Empire bellowed.
"That's right. Could it be that you want to ruin the White Tiger Meet's selection?"
The Water Spirit Temple cultivators also began to jeer.
Ling Xiao said nothing. Instead, he bent down to help Hime Myung-kō up and plucked a nut from her wound.
After confirming that Hime Myung-kō was fine, he turned to the Divine Envoy of the Skysea Empire and indifferently said, "Divine Envoy, are you blind? How could you not see such an obvious sneak attack?"
"Impudent!"
The red-robed Divine Envoy of the Skysea Empire trembled in rage.
"Impudent? I think it's you who's impudent. The Skysea Empire clearly held this selection to select true geniuses, but you turned a blind eye to this sneak attack and flipped out at me? Could it be that you dare to disobey the Imperial Decree of the Skysea Empire's Emperor? "
Ling Xiao glanced at the two Divine Envoys in disdain.
He was sure that this was not the Emperor's idea, nor was it the will of the upper echelons.
These three Divine Envoys had probably received benefits from the Water Spirit Temple. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so biased.
Even if Ling Xiao had killed their informant, they still wouldn't have acted this way.
If this matter were to spread out, the remaining two Divine Envoys would definitely not be able to escape this calamity.
It was clear that Ling Xiao had hit them where it hurt. At this point, the two Divine Envoys fell silent. Only their eyes shone with icy killing intent.
They really wanted nothing more than for Ling Xiao to fight Diying right now and die here.
This brat was really too annoying.
Seeing that the two Divine Envoys had fallen silent, Ling Xiao turned to Diying. "Do you know what kind of person I hate the most?
It's a shameless piece of trash like you who likes to sneak attack!
Even if I, Ling Xiao, didn't even enter the top ten of the Dragon Phoenix Roll, I wouldn't be so shameless as to do such a thing.
If you're a man, then step forward and fight to the death to determine the victor! Whoever admits defeat is a coward!
Let me see the courage of your Water Spirit Temple cultivators! "
He was truly angry.
Originally, everyone was bickering and not to the point of fighting and killing.
But Diying's action clearly wanted Hime Myung-kō to die.
Even though Ling Xiao had no romantic feelings for Hime Myung-kō, they had a deep friendship.
The two of them had braved through fire and water together many times. Now that someone had sneak-attacked Hime Myung-kō, if he didn't step forward, then he really couldn't even be considered a man.
"He values friendship and loyalty. Becoming friends with this person is absolutely not a loss."
Esteemed Lord Long Huang looked at Ling Xiao and could not help secretly nodding.
Although Ling Xiao's approach was somewhat radical, as a martial artist, if faced with a situation where his friend was sneak-attacked and nearly died, he still could not fly into a rage.
Then this martial artist was basically crippled. Without the slightest domineering aura of the Martial Dao, how could he talk about cutting through thistles and thorns?
The path of the Martial Dao was full of dangers to begin with. It required great courage to be able to continue walking.
In Esteemed Lord Long Huang's view, Ling Xiao was simply a natural-born martial artist.
It was not without reason that this kid could become the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Empire and had such a group of people supporting him.
Diying looked at Ling Xiao awkwardly. His cultivation was not weak, but facing Ling Xiao, he still did not have the confidence to win.
Indeed, he was much stronger than the fifth, sixth, and seventh heroes.
If it was just a spar, he was naturally not afraid of Ling Xiao. But in a life and death battle, he was somewhat timid.
Should he accept the challenge?
Diying frowned.
"Hmph, just now someone kept saying that his people were not trash, but in my opinion, other than sneak attacks, you really don't have any ability to speak of!"
Ling Xiao coldly snorted and said sarcastically.
He had to kill Ying Si no matter what.
Because this guy had touched his reverse scale. Even if he did not kill him today, he would kill him in the future.
"Bullshit, do you really think you're something? I'll fight you! "
Diying also cared about his face. Moreover, no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for Ling Xiao to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm.
Since that was the case, as a half-step Yin-Yang Realm martial artist, why should he fear Ling Xiao?
After being scolded like a coward, he did not even dare to attack?
If that was the case, not only would the people of the Tianhai Empire look down on him, but his peers would also look down on him when he returned.
"Oh? You have guts. It seems that the Seven Heroes of the Water Spirit Temple are not all cowards. "
A cold smile appeared on Ling Xiao's face.
It seemed that sometimes provocation was useful. Although it was a little cliché, it was very effective against these arrogant martial artists.
