Xu Cong held onto his longsword and smiled at Ying Baiwu. He didn't say any harsh words because that would make him appear unclassy.
At the start of the match, let the opponent make the first move, then counterattack and kill. This was his script.
Why didn't he attack first?
I'm at the peak of the blood-ignition realm. Don't you think it's very embarrassing for me to do this?
"Begin!"
Tong Yiming announced.
Ying Baiwu's expression was cold. She lifted her bow but didn't fire rapidly. She lowered it instead. "Do you feel that you will win for sure?"
Xu Cong couldn't be bothered to reply.
"I don't need you to give me the upper hand. If I want to win, I want to win fair and square!"
Ying Baiwu felt very unhappy. (Who gave you the courage to feel that this is a battle you will definitely win?)
Do I look like a weak chicken?
"Really?"
Xu Cong curled his lips and swung his sword.
Whoosh!
A stream of sword qi was as fast as lightning, slashing past Ying Baiwu's face.
Hua!
Seeing this scene, many of the spectators cried out in surprise. His sword qi was not inferior to an arrow at all.
"Ying Baiwu, don't be arrogant. Xu Cong has the reputation of being the fastest swordsman in Jiangnan among his peers. By the time you see his sword, you would already be dead."
A great teacher spoke, wanting to earn some favorable impression points from Sun Mo.
"I know!"
Ying Baiwu's lips twitched and she casually pulled the bowstring.
Li Ziqi had long since gathered information about these potential opponents.
Buzz!
The bowstring trembled slightly, causing Xu Cong's heart to tremble subconsciously. Following that, all the hairs on his body stood on end. This was a defensive reaction produced by his acute sixth sense.
As expected, a translucent arrow appeared in front of him and brushed past his ear.
It would be impolite not to reciprocate. This was Ying Baiwu's retaliation.
Wow!
Many cultivators exclaimed.
How did he do it?
Everyone knew that if an archer wanted to hit their target, they had to aim accurately. However, this time around, Ying Baiwu's bow was pointed at the ground. With just a casual pull of the bowstring, an arrow shot toward Xu Cong who was far away.
Some of the more experienced experts understood that Ying Baiwu's actions this time around were to demonstrate her might. If not, her arrows would always remain transparent, and no one would be able to see them with their eyes alone.
"The Wind King Divine Art is actually so powerful?"
In the spectator stands, Gu Xiuxun was extremely shocked.
She only liked swords and sabers, so she did not pay much attention to archery.
"You actually don't know?"
Mei Ziyu was surprised. "But it's fine. If you want to learn, Sun Mo will definitely teach you!"
"Not learning!"
Gu Xiuxun shook her head. "I'm from the Saber Sword Faction."
Murong Mingyue looked at the two of them, feeling a little speechless. (Is it really good for you guys to say such things in front of An Xinhui?)
That was a peerless saint-tier cultivation technique that could allow a clan to prosper for a hundred years.
"Hurry up and start the fight!"
Tong Yiming urged.
Ying Baiwu had already proven that there was no need for her to make the first move. Hence, this time around, she took the initiative to attack. The moment she drew her bow, she unleashed 12 consecutive arrows.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
Six arrows danced in the air. There were six transparent arrows hidden among them.
Xu Cong identified the source of the sound, and with a twist of his sword, he chopped all the arrows in half.
"Eh? Why are there so many more slashes? "
Someone was puzzled.
"Idiot, there must be invisible arrows flying over."
Putting themselves in his shoes, everyone felt their scalps go numb. How could they defend against arrows that they couldn't see? Although experts used all six senses when they fought, the vast majority of people still relied on their eyes.
After a round of rapid shooting, Ying Baiwu drew her bow to the fullest, and the arrows were like shooting stars, shooting straight toward Xu Cong.
Xu Cong, who had been standing there unmoving, suddenly moved. He was as fast as the wind, not only dodging the arrows, but he also rushed toward Ying Baiwu while brandishing his sword.
Sword qi like tides!
Whistling!
Tens of sword qi were like a hurricane, gushing toward Ying Baiwu.
Ying Baiwu's body swayed, and a clone appeared.
Wow!
The audience exclaimed in shock again because this clone was extremely life-like. Not only did it have a shadow, but every frown and smile was filled with a lively aura.
This was the Wind God Phantom, and it could pass off as real.
"You have some skill!"
Xu Cong silently praised. A peak-tier cultivation art was indeed powerful. However, the disparity between their cultivation bases wasn't something a cultivation art could make up for. Even if there were three of them, he would still kill them without hesitation.
Ying Baiwu and the phantom drew their bows at the same time.
"It can't be, right? Clones can shoot arrows as well? Moreover, they seem to have killing prowess! "
The audience only wanted to watch the liveliness, but the great teachers and their disciples were all dumbfounded. Several people immediately took out image-recording stones, preparing to record this battle so that they could study it when they returned.
"In any case, if I encountered such an enemy, I would turn and leave immediately!"
A great teacher commented.
"Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Someone questioned.
What answered him was a series of exclamations of shock. On the stage, Xu Cong had dodged an arrow and was about to kill Ying Baiwu. However, who would have expected that the arrow that brushed past Xu Cong would return? It arced in an arc and returned, aiming for the back of Xu Cong's head.
"This works as well?"
The spectators felt that if they went up, they wouldn't have any chance of winning.
The great teacher who said 'embarrassed' earlier had an awkward look on his face. He shrank his neck and hurriedly dodged. Sigh, if he didn't embarrass himself, he would die.
Swish!
Xu Cong executed Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon and slashed the arrow shooting toward him. After that, he suddenly increased his speed and closed in on Ying Baiwu.
"Have you discovered the real one?"
Just when everyone thought that he was going to snatch and kill Ying Baiwu, Xu Cong's ultimate attack was aimed toward the other one in the distance.
Sword Lotus Bloom!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Numerous streams of sword qi shot out, rushing toward Ying Baiwu. If they missed, they wouldn't vanish. Instead, they would form a golden sword qi lotus. After that, they would disintegrate and shoot toward Xu Cong.
"Do you really think that I can't differentiate between the two?"
Xu Cong teased.
In truth, he really wouldn't be able to tell just by relying on his sixth sense. However, he could tell from the attacks. Because he was the main attacker, the might of the arrows he shot out was stronger and he could even track his target.
"You have wasted too much time!"
Jiang Zhitong was unhappy. Xu Cong couldn't even insta-kill a low-level opponent. It seemed like Xu Cong had to undergo stricter training.
Swish!
The sword qi whistled and slashed into Ying Baiwu's body.
Leniency?
Sorry, life and death are unpredictable in a personal disciple battle. If you die, you can only blame yourself for not being strong enough.
"What a ruthless heart!"
Tong Yiming frowned. Just when he wanted to save Ying Baiwu, he stopped.
Xu Cong, who had unleashed his ultimate attack, made a gesture of sheathing his sword. After that, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back and prepared to walk to the edge of the arena. However, at this instant, a sense of impending doom rose in his heart.
"What's going on?"
Xu Cong's wariness rose. After that, he saw the sword qi lotus slashing Ying Baiwu. Although her corpse was dismembered, there was no blood flowing out.
"Fake?"
Xu Cong frowned. (Could it be that my judgment was wrong?) He immediately reacted and unleashed his ultimate attacks, fiercely attacking the other Ying Baiwu.
Even if he couldn't take down the other party, he had to interfere with her attacks and seize back the initiative.
Xu Cong's idea wasn't bad, but reality was cruel. Just when Xu Cong spared no effort in using his spirit qi to unleash a wave of attacks, a gust of wind suddenly gushed over from the back of his head.
"Damn, why is there still more?"
Right now, let alone the fact that Xu Cong had just unleashed his power and hadn't finished adjusting his spirit qi, even if he was in perfect condition, he wouldn't be able to defend against this wave of sneak attacks.
Zi!
An arrow pierced through Xu Cong's right shoulder. The immense destructive force directly blasted his shoulder apart, causing one of his arms to fall off.
"What?"
Jiang Zhitong turned pale with fright. Why did this happen?
"Damn it!"
Xu Cong staggered. If it wasn't for him dodging fast enough, he would have died.
"Just admit defeat!"
Ying Baiwu coldly snorted.
"What's going on?"
"She turned invisible?"
"My heavens, isn't this cultivation art a little too mystical?"
The audience was badly shocked. They could only see another Ying Baiwu appearing in the air.
So, the two Ying Baiwus from before weren't real.
When Xu Cong analyzed which one was real and which one was fake, he had already fallen for it. What was laughable was that he was still arrogant and thought that victory was already in his grasp.
"F * ck you!"
Xu Cong cursed. His left hand grabbed the longsword in his right hand and slashed out rapidly.
BOOM!
A vast amount of sword qi was like a hurricane, whizzing out and directly enveloping the area Ying Baiwu was at.
(Don't you know how to turn invisible?)
(Then I will use an area-of-effect attack.)
Zi! Zi! Zi!
The sword qi slashed on the arena, leaving behind many scars.
"Isn't this too shameless? He is purely relying on the suppression of his cultivation base! "
Someone couldn't bear to continue watching.
Jiang Zhitong's expression was very unsightly. Honestly speaking, such a method of victory was very embarrassing. It no longer belonged to the category of sparring.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Ying Baiwu retreated continuously. When she reached the edge of the arena, she forcefully endured it. However, Xu Cong's sword technique followed closely behind.
Bang!
Ying Baiwu leaped out of the arena. There was no solution to it. If she didn't leave, she could only die.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Zhitong cursed in a low voice. Although falling off the arena was considered a loss, this was too insignificant. His personal disciple had lost an arm.
"As long as she didn't land on the ground, she is still in the competition."
Xu Cong, who was injured, was burning with anger. He unleashed another sword technique.
Ying Baiwu was in the air and had no place to borrow strength from. One could say that she was the perfect target.
"Go to hell!"
Xu Cong's expression was cold.
Sword Soul Seizing Life!
A beam of golden sword qi shot out explosively.
Some great teachers closed their eyes, not bearing to watch. At the same time, their evaluation of Xu Cong fell greatly. (Aren't you a little too vengeful?
You have clearly won, but you are still so vicious?)
(It seems like the Jiang Clan's style isn't good!)
But when the golden sword qi pierced toward Ying Baiwu, her body suddenly paused in the air. The sword qi brushed past her feet.
"What?"
Xu Cong was stunned. "Why didn't I hit? My foresight should be extremely good, right? "
Swoosh!
An arrow shot out explosively.
Pak!
Xu Cong wielded his sword with his left hand and deflected the arrow in a sorry state. After all, he wasn't left-handed and didn't know how to wield a sword with his left hand. Hence, he felt very awkward.
However, it was fine. Before his opponent landed on the ground, he could only attack once.
Sigh!
It was such a pity that he couldn't kill her!
However, it was good that he won. He would find an opportunity to kill her in the future.
Xu Cong had lost an arm. It was impossible for him not to hate Ying Baiwu.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ying Baiwu shot out explosively, and the arrows filled the sky.
Xu Cong dodged in a sorry state. The aura of impending death surrounded his entire body, causing him to involuntarily shout.
"Referee, are you not going to care? She has already landed and lost. "
Xu Cong rolled on the ground and kept getting hit by arrows.
"You..."
Just as Tong Yiming was about to speak, he froze. His two eyes were wide and round. He could be considered a veteran and had seen many things in the world. But at this moment, his shocked appearance was like a groom who had just entered the bridal chamber and saw a small butterfly tattoo on his wife's body.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Xu Cong continued to be hit by arrows. Fresh blood splattered from his body.
"Damn, you have already lost. Why are you still fighting?"
Jiang Zhitong was enraged. He lifted his hand, wanting to beat Ying Baiwu to death.
"What are you doing?"
Sun Mo took a step out and spoke harshly.
"It's you bastards who disregard the rules as nothing!"
Jiang Zhitong was enraged.
"Fool, open your dog eyes wide and look at the situation!"
Sun Mo roared.
"What the hell?"
"Damn, she actually floated up?"
"How did she do that?"
The spectators standing at Ying Baiwu's side were completely stunned. It was like they had seen a god descending into the world. Wasn't this too unbelievable?
Ying Baiwu's feet stopped an inch away from the ground. It was like there was a platform made of air.
"What? Floated up? "
Jiang Zhitong pushed through the crowd and rushed over. When he saw Ying Baiwu's current state, he was also stunned.
This...
How was this possible?
"Teacher Jiang, didn't you ask earlier 'Could it be that Sun Mo can fly into the sky?'"
Li Ziqi smiled. "I'm telling you solemnly now. Not only can my teacher do it, my junior martial sister can do it as well."
Swoosh!
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads over. Their gazes were filled with astonishment as they looked at Sun Mo.
(How did you do it?)
At this moment, everyone was so curious that they wanted to die. After that, they were so jealous that they wanted to die.
One must know that flying was the dream of countless people for thousands of years!
And now, Sun Mo's disciple had done it.
(Alright!)
Although she could only float in the air, this was already an achievement that transcended the era.
"Is it a cultivation art?"
"It should be some kind of secret treasure of darkness, right? After all, in history, I've never heard of any cultivation art that could allow one to float in the air! "
"Listen to Li Ziqi's words. Clearly, Sun Mo found a method to float in the air. Maybe he created some kind of cultivation art or invented some kind of secret treasure?"
Everyone whispered to each other. But no matter what it was, their gazes when they looked at Sun Mo had become fanatical.
If it wasn't for the fact that the situation wasn't right, they would really want to shout out.
(Can you give me one as well?)
"When I said that summer insects cannot speak of ice, I was referring to you!"
"When I said that frogs in the well don't know the vastness of the sky, I was referring to you!"
"When I said that shrimps cannot speak of whales, I was referring to you!"
Li Ziqi's venomous tongue shot out. "Jiang Zhitong, you have been immersed in the glory of your Jiang Clan in the past and have long forgotten to look at the world. You have long forgotten that when three people walk together, there will always be a teacher. You have long forgotten how to write the word 'respect'. Once you lose, you want nothing more than to take revenge...
"How can a person like you be worthy of being called a great teacher?
"You are truly a refined scum, misleading the students!"
Bzz!
Priceless Advice was activated.
Golden light shot out in all directions. When it landed on Jiang Zhitong's body, shame, vexation, self-blame, and unhappiness directly attacked his heart. He coughed up a mouthful of old blood.
Pu!
Jiang Zhitong really wanted to scold, 'Little brat, how dare you insult me?'
However, he didn't dare to scold because Li Ziqi's words weren't wrong. Once he scolded her, it would make her words even more true.
"My heavens, eldest martial sister just spat him to death!"
Xianyu Wei jumped in fright. She silently decided that she would absolutely not talk back to her eldest martial sister in the future.
