As this crisp sound rang out, the hearts of all the direct disciples involuntarily jumped. This slap from Lu Xuan not only landed on Xie Bin's face, but it also landed on their hearts. They had a feeling that Lu Xuan was using Xie Bin as a warning to them. He even dared to slap Xie Bin's face, let alone them.
Of course, the one who felt the most from Lu Xuan's slap was naturally Xie Bin himself. He felt a burning pain on his face. Lu Xuan's slap wasn't light at all. At this moment, his cheeks were already red and swollen. However, the physical pain wasn't much. To Xie Bin, what was truly unbearable was the mental devastation!
He had been slapped in the face by Lu Xuan in front of so many elders and so many direct disciples. He had lost all of his dignity. The words he said previously, the disdain and ridicule towards Lu Xuan, were all contained in this slap, ruthlessly slapping his own face.
Very quickly, Xie Bin's embarrassment was broken by his own anger. He wanted revenge, he wanted Lu Xuan dead! Only by killing Lu Xuan would he be able to resolve the humiliation he received from this slap!
What about the rules of the personal disciple battle? What about Zhao Ying? What about Nangong Shuo? Everything was thrown to the back of Xie Bin's mind!
"Die for me!" Xie Bin roared angrily. With a swish, he drew his longsword and suddenly rushed towards Lu Xuan. As the longsword slashed down, a majestic sword qi swept out, as though it wanted to tear Lu Xuan into pieces.
Lu Xuan's expression didn't change at all. Since Xie Bin didn't know how to repent, he would continue to teach him a lesson.
Lu Xuan's silhouette flickered once again, instantly dodging Xie Bin's attack. Once again, Lu Xuan appeared beside Xie Bin when he was caught off guard. The speed of Lu Xuan's Dance of the Dragon and Dance of the Phoenix was far from what Xie Bin could catch up to. This was the suppression of the grade of the martial arts technique. Even if Lu Xuan had yet to fully comprehend the Ninth Heaven Soaring Sword Technique, it was still not something that Xie Bin could withstand.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
One slap after another landed on Xie Bin's face. Xie Bin was extremely ashamed and resentful, but no matter how he attacked Lu Xuan, he couldn't touch Lu Xuan at all. He could only passively take Lu Xuan's slaps again and again.
A trace of blood appeared on the corner of Xie Bin's mouth, but he couldn't be bothered to wipe it off. This was also because Lu Xuan didn't use any Origin Energy when he whipped him, and only relied on his own strength. Otherwise, Xie Bin would have been whipped unconscious by Lu Xuan a long time ago.
But even so, after being slapped several times by Lu Xuan, Xie Bin finally couldn't bear the strong psychological pressure and suddenly fainted.
Seeing Xie Bin suddenly fall to the ground, everyone in the hall suddenly burst into an uproar. Lu Xuan didn't expect this guy to be so weak that he fainted after just a few slaps. But for Xie Bin, fainting might be a good choice. He really didn't have the face to see others.
Several disciples quickly rushed out from behind Nangong Shuo and quickly helped Xie Bin up. One of them angrily shouted at Lu Xuan, "What did you do to Xie Bin?"
Lu Xuan shrugged innocently and said, "I just slapped him a few times, I didn't hurt him. Maybe he didn't have the face to see others, so he deliberately pretended to faint."
"You're talking nonsense!" The disciple angrily rebuked, "You clearly saw that he was already angry, but you still wanted to be so ruthless. What are your intentions?"
When Lu Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but ridicule, "Are you all blind? It was obviously him who kept attacking me, and I was passively fighting back. According to what you said, should I stand here and let him poke a few holes in my body? You're really unreasonable. "
The disciple was speechless after being refuted by Lu Xuan. He could only fiercely say, "Today, I will teach you a good lesson!"
"Come back!" Nangong Shuo angrily shouted. The performance of this group of disciples today was really too shameful, especially Xie Bin. In front of so many people, he actually let Lu Xuan slap him seven or eight times in one breath. Nangong Shuo felt as if each slap was on his face. Xie Bin not only lost his own face, but also Nangong Shuo's face.
Among so many people who fought with Lu Xuan, Xie Bin's strength was the strongest, but he was the one who suffered the heaviest humiliation. This was also Xie Bin's own fault. Who told him to speak rudely and ask for it?
In fact, if they really fought, Lu Xuan might not be able to defeat Xie Bin so easily. However, after Xie Bin was slapped by Lu Xuan, he had completely lost control of his emotions and was unable to display his full strength. This allowed Lu Xuan to take advantage of the loopholes again and again.
Hearing Nangong Shuo's reprimand, although the disciples were filled with anger, they didn't dare to tangle with Lu Xuan any longer. They brought the unconscious Xie Bin back.
Nangong Shuo glanced at Xie Bin, who had his eyes tightly shut, and couldn't help but frown. Xie Bin's talent was not bad, but he didn't expect it to be so useless.
"How's the situation?" Nangong Shuo asked.
"He didn't suffer any injuries. He probably fainted because his emotions were too agitated, causing his blood and Qi to flow in reverse. He'll be fine after some rest." A disciple respectfully replied.
Nangong Shuo's frown deepened. If he had been injured by Lu Xuan, it would be understandable. However, he had actually fainted because his mental fortitude wasn't up to standard. This was truly embarrassing. Thinking of this, Nangong Shuo couldn't help but impatiently wave his hand and say, "Take him away and let him rest."
Han Feng had been paying attention to Nangong Shuo's performance. Seeing Nangong Shuo's unhappy expression, Han Feng couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Xie Bin fainting meant that he was the happiest. Originally, he had lost to Du Xiaomao, which made Nangong Shuo rather unhappy. However, now that Xie Bin had lost even more face than him, it was equivalent to him taking a bullet for Han Feng and sharing some of Nangong Shuo's anger. In this way, Han Feng's failure wasn't so conspicuous.
"Elder Nangong, I'm truly sorry. I didn't think that Senior Xie would be so impulsive. I was too heavy-handed." Lu Xuan apologised to Nangong Shuo hypocritically. However, although it was an apology on the surface, it was actually a mockery. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what had just happened. It could be said that ever since Nangong Shuo had come to power, this was the greatest humiliation he had suffered.
At this moment, Nangong Shuo's expression had already returned to normal. Faintly waving his hand towards Lu Xuan, he said, "There's no need to apologise. He was the one who spoke rudely, so it's only natural for him to be taught a lesson."
Although he said this, Nangong Shuo felt as if he had eaten a fly in his heart. Previously, he had refuted Zhao Ying's request. He never imagined that in the blink of an eye, Xie Bin would be personally slapped by Lu Xuan.
"Haha, the disciples are all young, so it's understandable for them to be a bit impulsive. Hahaha, Brother Nangong, when you return, take a good look at Martial Nephew Xie. If he needs any healing medicinal pills, I'll take care of them all. Hahaha." Su Chuanan continued to laugh as he spoke words of comfort. However, his expression was one of extreme joy. He stealthily gave Lu Xuan a thumbs up. The seven or eight slaps that Lu Xuan had given him were truly delightful. It had simply caused him to feel refreshed from head to toe.
"Hmph, there's no need. I can still heal my own disciples." Nangong Shuo coldly snorted. Su Chuanan's performance had caused him to feel extremely displeased.
However, being displeased was one thing. Right now, Lu Xuan was still standing on the stage, completely fine. After defeating Xie Bin, Lu Xuan had successfully completed seven consecutive victories. Moreover, the disciples that he had defeated were all stronger than the last. They were far from what Han Feng's fake battle record could compare to. It could be said that the title of the best new disciple this year was already without a doubt going to belong to Lu Xuan.
"Senior Brother Xie's strength is indeed not bad. I won by luck. Is there any other Senior Brother who would be willing to give me some pointers?" Standing on the stage, Lu Xuan once again cupped his hands and spoke.
It had to be said that Lu Xuan's words were a bit pretentious. It was clear that he had beaten Xie Bin until he fainted, but he still kept on saying that Xie Bin's strength was not bad. All the disciples present looked at Lu Xuan with incomparable disdain. However, they also had to admit that Lu Xuan really did have the ability to act pretentious. If you could beat a martial artist in the eighth tier of the Soul Refinement Realm until he fainted, you could also act pretentious.
Although they were cursing in their hearts, when faced with Lu Xuan's challenge, not a single disciple took the initiative to step forward. Now, they could finally see that Lu Xuan had been hiding his strength all along. He would bring out his strength according to the type of opponent he faced. Lu Xuan was able to fight a group of new disciples for a few rounds, and he could also exchange a few moves with a powerhouse like Li Yuncong. If Xie Bin had not gone overboard with his words, perhaps Lu Xuan would also be able to exchange a few moves with him. He would not have directly taken out the Soaring Phoenix Ninth Heaven Sword Technique and beaten Xie Bin to a pulp.
Everyone's gazes once again locked onto Nangong Shuo. It was obvious that Lu Xuan had come for Nangong Shuo's group. Even Xie Bin had been defeated by him, so the other disciples were naturally not his match. Su Chuanan would also not send anyone to deal with Lu Xuan, so if they wanted to defeat Lu Xuan, the only way was for Nangong Shuo's disciples to continue fighting.
Nangong Shuo frowned slightly, his fingers lightly tapping on the seat. He was also thinking about who he should send out. Although Xie Bin had been humiliated by Lu Xuan, he had also probed a part of Lu Xuan's strength. Lu Xuan's true strength was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Nangong Shuo could accept a single defeat, but he could not accept an unlimited number of defeats. He did have disciples at the ninth level of the Spirit Refinement realm, so his chances of victory would undoubtedly be higher if he sent them out. However, Nangong Shuo could not bring himself to use disciples at the ninth level to deal with a mere fifth level of the Spirit Refinement realm like Lu Xuan. Even if he won, others would only say that he was bullying the weak, which would only bring harm to his reputation.
After pondering for a while, Nangong Shuo finally spoke. He said, "Tang Yi, go and meet your junior brother Lu."
"Yes, master." A disciple dressed in black bowed slightly as he replied.
Lu Xuan also looked at the black-clothed disciple. He was one of the people who had helped Xie Bin back, but he did not know how strong this fellow was.
The black-clothed disciple steadily advanced. With Xie Bin as an example, Tang Yi did not display too much arrogance. He had Nangong Shuo behind him, and Lu Xuan also had Zhao Ying behind him. In terms of background, he might not be able to compare to Lu Xuan. Although there were various factors that led to Lu Xuan being able to defeat Xie Bin, it also proved that Lu Xuan's strength was extraordinary. At the very least, Lu Xuan had the qualifications to fight him.
