The situation of the battle changed so quickly that it was beyond everyone's expectations. No one thought that Li Yuncong would be able to make such a beautiful comeback.
Some of the disciples who didn't like Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Who asked you to be so arrogant? Who asked you to be so arrogant? Now, under Li Yuncong's hands, aren't you going to be defeated?
Although Zhao Bing`er's expression didn't change, she was still worried. Although she believed that Lu Xuan wouldn't be defeated so easily, she was still worried. Furthermore, it looked like Lu Xuan was in a very dangerous situation. It wasn't that Lu Xuan wasn't as strong as Li Yuncong, but Lu Xuan hadn't used his full strength yet. His opponents weren't Li Yuncong and the others, but Nangong Shuo's direct disciples. Naturally, he couldn't use his full strength right now. For example, after using the Startling Cloud Sword Technique a few times, everyone had figured it out.
Li Yuncong, who suddenly appeared behind Lu Xuan, didn't stop attacking. His sharp lancet slashed out with all his might. It wasn't that he wanted to injure Lu Xuan, but it was because he wasn't sure if Lu Xuan could handle this wave of attacks.
Li Yuncong's attack speed was extremely fast. It sounded troublesome, but in reality, from the time he flashed behind Lu Xuan and slashed out with his blade, it was only an instant.
However, Lu Xuan's reaction was also extremely fast. The moment Li Yuncong disappeared, Lu Xuan had already stopped his Dragon Soars in the Sky. He suddenly put away his longsword, turned around, and attacked again. It was the Dragon Hides in the Abyss!
The longsword was like a dragon emerging from the sea. It carried a majestic aura as it met Li Yuncong's blade. The Dragon Hides in the Abyss, Soars to the Sky. This was the best description for Lu Xuan's attack. A powerful force suddenly burst forth, and a powerful sword aura rushed out!
Li Yuncong couldn't help but turn pale with fright. It was as if a dragon had suddenly appeared in front of him, carrying a majestic aura as it ferociously charged at him. In front of this dragon, Li Yuncong's attacks were like the tricks of a three year old child. They weren't even on the same order of magnitude.
Clang!
There was a crisp sound as the Shattered Ice Sword struck the Willow Leaf Saber. Every move of Lu Xuan's Seven Dragon Transformation Swords contained the power of the Azure Dragon's bloodline. It was so strong that even Li Yuncong, who was at the eighth layer of the Spirit Refinement realm, was not a match for him.
A powerful force was transmitted through the Shattered Ice Sword, reaching Li Yuncong's lancet in an instant. It was then transmitted through the lancet to Li Yuncong's body. Li Yuncong was unable to withstand the impact of such a huge force. If he could face Lu Xuan head-on, he would not have chosen to dodge and would have chosen to ambush him from behind.
The sword and the saber clashed, and Li Yuncong was sent flying. His chest felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he felt suffocated. The blood in his body was churning. If not for his powerful strength, he would have suffered severe internal injuries from this move.
After sending Li Yuncong flying, Lu Xuan did not stop attacking. He continuously circulated the Rushing Thunder Flash, and after a few flashes, he quickly caught up to Li Yuncong and pointed his sword at Li Yuncong's chest.
Li Yuncong's moves really caught Lu Xuan off guard. It was not that he was afraid of Li Yuncong, but he did not want to expose his trump card so quickly. His goal this time was to defeat as many of Nangong Shuo's direct disciples as possible, so that Nangong Shuo and Leng Qingqiu could see that he was not so easy to bully.
Seeing Lu Xuan's sword pointed at him, Li Yuncong revealed a bitter smile. He shook his head and said, "I've lost."
Not to mention that his life was already in Lu Xuan's hands, just his current state made it impossible for him to continue attacking. Other than admitting defeat, he had no other choice.
Hearing Li Yuncong admit defeat, Lu Xuan sheathed his sword and said, "Your last move is not bad. What is it called?"
"This move is called Willow Willow Flower. Its greatest characteristic is that it can catch people off guard. If it was an ordinary person, I'm afraid that they would have already been injured by this move." Li Yuncong said honestly, then looked deeply at Lu Xuan and said, "It seems that Junior Brother Lu's strength is not as simple as it seems on the surface."
Lu Xuan smiled and did not reply. Li Yuncong was right. Lu Xuan did not use his full strength. If he had used his full strength to unleash the Dragon Soars in the Sky, he would not have had enough strength to unleash the Dragon Submerges in the Abyss even if he reacted in time.
"Thank you for letting me win." Lu Xuan cupped his hands towards Li Yuncong.
"Junior Brother Lu is too polite." Li Yuncong also cupped his hands, then walked back behind Wei Zhengyang in a dejected manner. As a warrior in the eighth tier of the Spirit Refinement realm, he had been defeated so easily by a warrior in the fifth tier. Even if this warrior was Lu Xuan, it still made Li Yuncong feel defeated. In the past, he had relied on the Willow Leaf Knife Technique to challenge people of a higher tier. Today, he had been challenged by Lu Xuan, who was three tiers higher than him.
The battle between Lu Xuan and Li Yuncong had originally been a fast-paced battle. Everyone thought that Li Yuncong's Willow Flower would be the climax of the battle, but they did not expect that it would still be easily countered by Lu Xuan. Furthermore, Lu Xuan had defeated Li Yuncong so quickly. It was as if everyone was at the climax of the battle and had suddenly been cut down by a knife, unable to release all of their energy.
"Li Yuncong actually lost. Could it be that this Lu Xuan really has the strength to challenge Elder Nangong's disciple?"
"I think this Lu Xuan's strength is really not bad. No wonder he dared to provoke Leng Qingqiu. He really does have some skills."
"I still don't like him. He's just a newly promoted Direct Disciple, yet he dares to be so arrogant. He doesn't even give us the slightest bit of face."
"Don't say that the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. If you had his strength, you could also be arrogant."
…
After two consecutive battles, one against Yang Wang and the other against Li Yuncong, the Direct Disciples' opinions of Lu Xuan rapidly changed. No one would say that Lu Xuan's strength was not good enough. Looking at all the Direct Disciples, there were only a few who could defeat Li Yuncong. After all, he was at the eighth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm.
The ones who were even more surprised were Shi Hao and the other three Direct Disciples who were defeated by Lu Xuan at the very beginning. Previously, they were secretly complacent, thinking that their strength was not bad and that they could fight with Lu Xuan. However, after seeing the battle between Lu Xuan and Li Yuncong, they realized that they were really too naive and too young. Not to mention other things, just the Dragon Transformation Seven Swords that Lu Xuan used in this battle was not something that the Startling Cloud Sword Art could compare with. If Lu Xuan used his strength to fight against them, they would not be able to take a single move.
Li Yuncong walked in front of Wei Zhengyang and said with his head lowered, "Master, this disciple has disgraced Master's orders."
Wei Zhengyang sighed softly and said, "Don't blame yourself. You've already done very well. This brat is a bit too strong. His opponent was never you in the first place."
After two disciples were defeated by Lu Xuan in a row, Wei Zhengyang's expression did not look too good. He could not help but feel a bit angry in his heart. He was angry at Nangong Shuo. Everyone knew that Lu Xuan was here for Leng Qingqiu and Nangong Shuo, but Nangong Shuo just had to hold back and not make a move, letting them take the blame first. No matter what the other elders thought, Wei Zhengyang had already made up his mind not to rush to the front. Moreover, he had no one else to send. Li Yuncong was his strongest disciple.
After defeating two people in a row, Lu Xuan was now in the limelight. His six consecutive victories were only a step away from Han Feng's seven consecutive victories. Moreover, his six consecutive victories were much more valuable than Han Feng's. Han Feng's consecutive victories were given to him by Nangong Shuo's faction's new direct disciple. However, Lu Xuan had to face Yang Wang and Li Yuncong's attacks in succession. Han Feng was not a match for either of them.
Moreover, in every Direct Disciple Meeting, the new Direct Disciple with the most consecutive victories would be evaluated as the best new Direct Disciple. This wasn't just a pure honor. In addition to this title, there were also generous rewards, including an Earth-step Treasure, twenty top-grade Origin Stones, and the opportunity to go to the Profound Ice Pavilion's Pill Pagoda to choose a batch of valuable pills.
In the past, this honor and reward would be taken by Nangong Shuo's faction's disciples. After all, Su Chuanan's faction could not contend against Nangong Shuo. But this time, Su Chuanan saw a glimmer of hope. Lu Xuan could very likely break this situation. As long as Lu Xuan won again, then the title of best new disciple would be in Lu Xuan's pocket!
Su Chuanan didn't care about that little bit of reward, but this was a challenge to Nangong Shuo's prestige. Successive defeats would undoubtedly deal a significant blow to Nangong Shuo's prestige. This was Su Chuanan's chance.
Thinking of this, Su Chuanan couldn't help but have an idea. Rather than letting Nangong Shuo break Lu Xuan's winning streak, it would be better for him to take the initiative and give Lu Xuan another victory. Lu Xuan had already defeated Li Yuncong. According to the rules, disciples with lower cultivation than Li Yuncong couldn't be sent out. However, Lu Xuan's strength was obvious. A disciple at the eighth level of the Soul Refinement realm was not a match for Lu Xuan.
Just as Su Chuanan was pondering who would be the best to send out, Nangong Shuo spoke first. He also realized the problem Su Chuanan was thinking about. No matter what, Lu Xuan's winning streak must be broken here!
Nangong Shuo said, "Martial Nephew Lu's strength has indeed broadened my horizons. I didn't think that there would be such a powerful disciple among the new disciples."
Everyone couldn't help but silently curse. It wasn't like you just learned of Lu Xuan's strength. Ever since Lu Xuan made a name for himself in the battle at the Wind Sword School, Nangong Shuo was probably very familiar with Lu Xuan's information.
Nangong Shuo didn't care what others thought and continued, "Xie Bin, go and meet with your junior brother Lu."
Hearing Nangong Shuo's words, everyone couldn't help but shiver in their hearts. Nangong Shuo was finally going to take action. Xie Bin was a disciple under Nangong Shuo!
In order to break Lu Xuan's winning streak, Nangong Shuo had no choice but to send out his own disciple. He no longer believed in the disciples of the other elders, nor did he think that they would be a match for Lu Xuan.
