At the same time, the people present on the scene began to regain their senses one by one.
Many of them immediately pinched their thighs. When they felt the intense pain on their thighs, they finally realized they were not dreaming. Everything was real.
Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, had killed Zhong Gu in just one blow!
"Don't tell me Xu Jing is already a Mastery Refined Saint Stage powerhouse?"
Although most of the onlookers did not have Ren Zhong, Liu Hong Guang, and Xu Cen's eyesight, they could guess what had happened when they recalled the scene earlier.
Due to this reason, their hearts were filled with shock.
"How's this possible?"
Naturally, many people felt it was impossible after they recovered from their shock.
A person who was only at the Early Refined Saint Stage a year ago had actually broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage in just one year?
They really couldn't figure out how Xu Jing had cultivated in the past year to actually have such an exaggerated improvement.
However, many sectless cultivators present on the scene had a hint of red in their eyes when they looked at Xu Jing.
As one of the best among the middle-aged sectless cultivators, Zhong Gu's position in the eyes of the sectless cultivators was extraordinary. Moreover, many sectless cultivators even saw him as their hope.
In the Rising Sky Mansion's district, although the sectless cultivators were in a state of disunity, in the past, if something happened, there would still be powerhouses among the sectless cultivators who would take the lead and gather the sectless cultivators together to solve the problem.
Naturally, those who could take the lead were the powerhouses among the sectless cultivators.
However, in recent years, there had not been any outstanding sectless cultivators in the Rising Sky Mansion's district. Due to this reason, many sectless cultivators had placed their hopes on Zhong Gu. They felt he would finally become a powerhouse among the sectless cultivators in the near future and would be able to unite the sectless cultivators who were in a state of disunity.
However, Zhong Gu was dead now.
Zhong Gu's death also meant that their dreams would be shattered.
Many sectless cultivators immediately looked at Duan Lingtian. However, they soon sighed.
Put aside the fact that this sectless cultivator who called himself Li Feng was unknown previously, it was obvious he was not someone who liked to be in the limelight. Based on his attitude in front of Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang, it was obvious he was interested in joining a major force.
Therefore, they did not think that this Li Feng could replace Zhong Gu.
At the thought of this, the group of rogue cultivators looked at Xu Jing with daggers in their eyes. If they could, they wished they could cut Xu Jing into a thousand pieces.
No matter what, Zhong Gu had been defeated by Xu Jing. Xu Jing had used his own strength to clear his name.
Not only was he not weaker than Zhong Gu, he could even kill Zhong Gu with a single move.
The Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi were the ones who found it the hardest to regain their senses after witnessing Xu Jing killing Zhong Gu with just a single move.
As members of the middle-aged generation in the Rising Sky Mansion's district, the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi, as leaders, naturally knew a lot about the outstanding geniuses among their peers, including Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
However, the strength that Xu Jing displayed today gave rise to a strange feeling in their hearts.
Hiss! Hiss!
When they regained their senses, they gasped in unison. "Mastery Refined Saint Stage … Xu Jing has actually broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage?"
In fact, even they had just broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage not too long ago.
However, Xu Jing who they had suppressed previously had actually caught up to them in terms of cultivation base?
How could they not be shocked?
After killing Zhong Gu, Xu Jing had replaced him as the new Ring Master.
At this moment, a Rising Sky Mansion's disciple stepped forward. He was a Mastery Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator who had been eliminated earlier.
When the crowd saw him stepping forward, not only did they not make fun of him, but their expressions turned solemn instead.
The scene in front of him was very similar to the scene when Xu Gang stood out before.
For a time, many people's gazes fell on Xu Jing.
"Don't tell me Xu Jing wants to kill again?"
"Is he addicted to killing?"
…
Unlike before, after Xu Jing displayed strength that seemed to be at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage, those who did not think highly of Xu Jing earlier no longer dared to look at him the same way.
Of course!
Previously, they did not know Xu Jing's strength. However, after witnessing how he killed Zhong Gu in just one strike, they knew his strength was not inferior to the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
At this moment, nobody thought Xu Jing did not enter the ring for a long time because he was afraid of the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
Just as the crowd had expected, the Rising Sky Mansion's disciple challenged Xu Jing as soon as he entered the ring.
As for Xu Jing, he admitted defeat just as the crowd had expected.
The moment Xu Jing admitted defeat, he was immediately eliminated.
At this moment, since he was not the Ring Master, he could challenge any of the Ring Masters as he pleased.
When Xu Jing's gaze landed on Duan Lingtian again, it caused Duan Lingtian's expression to turn solemn.
Currently, his comprehension of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword, had improved. He was very close to the second stage, the Sword Shadowed Heart. Although he could still fight a Mastery Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, it would still be quite strenuous for him.
Moreover, he could see the strength Xu Jing displayed earlier was not as simple as just breaking through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage.
Due to this reason, although he was not afraid of Xu Jing, he still felt a little uncertain.
"He wants to challenge Li Feng?"
Many people were shocked when they saw Xu Jing looking at Duan Lingtian. "Is he planning to kill all the sectless cultivators?"
Previously, the people present on the scene did not think Xu Jing would be able to defeat Li Feng. However, at this moment, they did not think Li Feng was a match for Xu Jing at all. In their opinion, once Xu Jing made his move on Li Feng, Li Feng would definitely die.
The group of sectless cultivators present on the scene had a grave expression on their faces.
"Young Mansion Master, this Li Feng is even more despicable than Zhong Gu. He has killed two genius Martial Cultivators from our Rising Sky Mansion!"
When Xu Cen saw Xu Jing looking at Duan Lingtian, his eyes gleamed as he instantly transmitted his voice to Xu Jing.
Naturally, although his words sounded dignified, how could Xu Jing not know that Xu Cen wanted to use him to avenge Xu Can?
Originally, he had indeed planned to challenge Duan Lingtian.
However, with Xu Cen's Voice Transmission, he temporarily dismissed the idea of challenging Duan Lingtian.
What a joke!
Put aside the fact that he was the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, even if he was the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, as the successor of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, his future would be limitless. How could he be led by the nose by a Grand Elder of the Rising Sky Mansion?
For this reason, not only did Xu Jing not reply to Xu Cen, but he even shifted his gaze away from Duan Lingtian.
Many sectless cultivators sighed in relief immediately.
Xu Cen's expression was grave. He did not expect Xu Jing to ignore him and even change his target. It seemed like he had no intention of challenging Li Feng.
Although he was furious, there was nothing he could do.
Although he was the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing was the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
In the Rising Sky Mansion, as the son of the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing's position was even higher than his.
Soon after, Xu Jing's gaze landed on the Flowery Monk.
At the same time, he moved and appeared on the chess piece the Flowery Monk was on in just a blink of an eye, standing opposite him. "Flowery Monk, I'm no match for you in the past. However, today, I'll prove to everyone that I, Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, am the strongest powerhouse among the middle-aged generation in the Rising Sky Mansion's district!"
Xu Jing's words were spoken with great vigor. Moreover, they were filled with strong confidence and were extremely infectious.
However, faced with the confident Xu Jing, the Flowery Monk merely smiled nonchalantly. "Young Mansion Master Xu, it's shocking that you've broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage. However, if you think you can defeat me just because you've broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage, you're sorely mistaken!"
The moment his words left his mouth, the kasaya on the Flowery Monk's body began to flutter as the True Origin in his body surged out.
At this instant, with the Flowery Monk in the center, the surrounding space began to ripple. Ripples could be seen clearly.
Ren Zhong, Liu Hong Guang, and Xu Cen's Divine Consciousness instantly sensed the aura emitted from the Flowery Monk's body. The three of them narrowed their eyes in unison as shock appeared on their faces. They exclaimed in a low voice, "Mastery Refined Saint Stage!"
Although the three of them did not exclaim loudly, the people present on the scene had extraordinary hearing. Naturally, they heard the three of them.
At this moment, everyone present on the scene looked at the Flowery Monk in shock. "This Flowery Monk has broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage as well?"
"As expected of one of the two most outstanding people among the middle-aged generation in our Rising Sky Mansion's district. The Flowery Monk's innate talent and strength are really ridiculous!"
"The Flowery Monk has broken through, but I wonder if Jing Xu Zi has broken through as well."
…
Compared to Xu Jing's breakthrough to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage, the Flowery Monk's breakthrough only shocked the crowd for a moment before they calmed down.
In the crowd's opinion, the Flowery Monk had always been outstanding. Moreover, he had long been an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.
Although they were surprised when they found out he had broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage, they found it to be normal.
Apart from being shocked by the Flower Monk's breakthrough to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage, many people were also curious if Jing Xu Zi had also made a breakthrough.
"If I'm not mistaken, Jing Xu Zi, you must have broken through as well, right?"
Unknowingly, Xu Jing had soared up into the air and looked at the young Taoist priest standing on another chess piece nearby as he asked loudly.
From the beginning until the end, Xu Jing did not seem to be surprised by the Flowery Monk's cultivation base at all. It was as though he had long known this would happen.
Moreover, when the Flowery Monk revealed his cultivation base at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage, he actually had the mood to ask Jing Xu Zi about his cultivation base.
Faced with Xu Jing's question, Jing Xu Zi nodded his head even though he did not say anything.
The crowd immediately broke out in an uproar again.
Even Jing Xu Zi had broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage?
In this case, there were actually three Mastery Refined Saint Stage powerhouses in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle this time?
"Good! Very good!"
Xu Jing was very satisfied with Jing Xu Zi's reply.
