"However, what's going on with Mu Heng? Why did he jump up after obtaining the banner?"
The people in the spectator stands did not have much sympathy for Gao Yang. After all, his actions were not good. "Shua!
Shua! "
Just as everyone was discussing the earlier matter, Mu Heng did something shocking. He broke the banner in his hand as well.
"Xiu!"
Zhang Lie and Xiao Chen made a move at the same time. Each of them broke a banner. Of the remaining five, only one banner remained, floating in the air between the three of them.
"What are they trying to do? If the three of them obtained the banner, they could have ended the test!"
"Why do I have a feeling that they are trying to bring forward the decisive battle?!"
"I really do not understand this test. It is only the second stage, and it is already so intense. What is going on?"
"Now, the three of them have been forced into a corner. Only one of them can obtain the banner. The remaining two will be eliminated."
Not only did the people on the ground not understand the situation, but the other inner disciples in the spectator stands and the Peak Masters of the various Peaks also did not understand why the decisive battle was brought forward.
On the highest seat of the elders in the drill grounds, the Second Elder beside the First Elder, Jiang Chi, smiled gently and said, "These three people seem to understand our intentions. I wonder who the First Elder thinks more highly of?"
"With the strength of these three, they could easily get into the top ten in any of the past core disciple exams. They are all very strong. It does not matter who wins or loses." Jiang Chi's deep gaze was like a pool of clear water; no one could guess what he was thinking.
The Third Elder beside him said, "Big Brother Jiang Chi, if the Peak Masters knew about what we did, would they have any objections?"
The First Elder said expressionlessly, "No one is allowed to object to the things that I have decided."
When the other elders heard this, their hearts tightened. They all shut their mouths and stopped discussing this issue.
On the formation made up of countless spear blades, Xiao Chen, Mu Heng, and Zhang Lie each stood in a corner. Their auras gathered continuously.
The Qi and blood of the three of them were very vigorous. As their auras gathered, the air in the drill grounds became somewhat viscous, making it difficult to breathe.
Between the three of them, the force attached to the slowly fluttering flag finally disappeared and it slowly descended to the ground. Their gazes never left the flag, and a strange light flashed in each of their eyes.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, three strong gusts of wind appeared in the air, blowing away the sticky air and swirling up countless yellow sand.
The three of them moved at the same time, each using their own movement techniques to grab the falling banners.
"Seven Star Transposition!"
"Traceless Water Treading!"
"Blue Dragon Tail Whip!"
Mu Heng's figure strangely disappeared from the air. Zhang Lie gently pushed off the ground and there were ripples on the ground, leaving behind afterimages.
A Blue Dragon flowed out of Xiao Chen's body. With a light shout, he streaked across the sky.
The three of them executed their best moves and flew towards the descending black banner. In the end, Xiao Chen's Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art was better. A green light descended and grabbed the banner.
A Heaven Ranked Movement Technique was indeed a Heaven Ranked Movement Technique. Even though he had only practiced it to Small Perfection, there were not many cultivators of the same cultivation realm who could surpass Xiao Chen in terms of movement techniques.
Almost at the same time, when Xiao Chen grabbed the end of the banner, Zhang Lie and Mu Heng had already descended. They stretched their hands out to grab the banner.
Xiao Chen pulled gently, and the banner streaked through the air and landed behind Xiao Chen. The two of them grabbed nothing but air.
"Hundred Transformations Peak!"
"Thousand Mountains Ten Thousand Shadows Palm!"
Zhang Lie and Mu Heng did not hesitate and made their moves at the same time. Each of them executed the third move of the Lingyun Saber Technique, instantly turning into hundreds of layers of mysterious mountains, covering the sky and turning it dark.
On the other side, Mu Heng circulated the Purple Jade Body Tempering Art. Hundreds of purple shadows flashed around him, making it hard to distinguish which was real and which was fake; there was no way to make a move.
Xiao Chen revealed a grave expression. These two were not ordinary Superior Grade Martial Grand Masters. One had comprehended saber intent, and his talent was exceptional.
The other had tempered his physical body and turned it into a saber. His pure offensive power was not inferior to Xiao Chen's. No matter where he was, he would be a demonic genius.
"Hundred Transformations Peak … I think I know it as well!" Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and smiled faintly. Hundreds of illusions of mountains appeared behind him as well. However, these illusions disappeared in a flash and instantly entered his body.
The snow-white Lunar Shadow Saber suddenly lit up with a resplendent glow. This was not a saber light; it was the pure mysterious phenomenon of the Lingyun Saber Technique infused into the saber.
The Essence in Xiao Chen's body also infused into the saber. The glow became even more dazzling; it was like a miniature sun. The dark sky immediately became incredibly bright.
"Break for me!" Xiao Chen shouted and hacked ferociously at the endless mountain range. "Rumble … rumble …" A series of earth-shattering sounds resounded continuously.
The mountain range trembled and the entire drill grounds started to tremble. The air currents started to compress continuously. Some of the spear blades on the ground could not withstand the pressure and were pulled out of the ground, flying into the air.
"Bang!" The mountain range disappeared and Zhang Lie appeared in the air with a pale complexion. He slowly descended. The sunlight from the sky shone down once again, illuminating this space with a fiery heat.
"Hu Chi!"
Xiao Chen's movements did not stop. After he knocked back Zhang Lie, he quickly turned around and transferred the Lunar Shadow Saber to his left hand. He circulated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art and the bones in his body started to crackle continuously.
The muscles on Xiao Chen's body visibly increased in size. A huge tiger image appeared behind Xiao Chen. The tiger roared continuously, causing Xiao Chen's aura to rise to another level.
"Ferocious Tiger Coming Out of the Mountains, Hundred Beasts Charging!"
When the hundreds of figures around Mu Heng got close to Xiao Chen, they merged together. Their aura also rose to the peak. They did not give way to Xiao Chen's aura, which was like the king of all beasts.
"Explode for me!" Mu Heng roared angrily. His purple jade-like right palm carried the power of the hundreds of figures as it clashed with Xiao Chen's fist without hesitation.
"Boom!"
When the fist and palm collided, it was like a thunderclap resounded in the silent drill grounds. It reverberated in everyone's ears, causing their eardrums to tremble. Some of the weaker cultivators even temporarily went deaf.
A shockwave surged out in all directions like a surging wave. Those spear blades flying in the air were directly crushed into powder and scattered by the wind.
"Hu!"
The two of them were knocked back, and in an instant, they retreated a few hundred meters. Xiao Chen's body spun once in the air, and gently landed on the edge of a spear. After that, he slowly grabbed the black banner that he had been protecting behind him.
Mu Heng was not as calm. Every time he retreated, he would shatter a spear blade. He broke a hundred spear blades before he stopped.
One palm and one fist. The two of them relied on the strength of their physical bodies. They were basically evenly matched.
Although all of this took a long time to describe, it was actually just one exchange of moves between Xiao Chen and the two of them. Everything took only a few breaths of time.
The three of them each stood in a corner and started to recuperate their auras. They were not in a rush to make a move. The surging formation immediately calmed down. However, everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
"Ha!"
Indeed, after a while, Zhang Lie and Mu Heng both shouted and charged at Xiao Chen. Now, the two of them knew that they were no longer a match for Xiao Chen by themselves. They could only work together to take him down.
The corner of Xiao Chen's mouth curled up into a gentle smile. Suddenly, he let out a long roar. A lofty feeling rose in his heart. Since he left the Xiao Clan, he had not fought to his heart's content.
All the opponents he met were either too strong or too weak. Coincidentally, he met two opponents who were evenly matched today. Then, he might as well fight to his heart's content!
After blocking Zhang Lie's attack with his saber, Xiao Chen clenched his left fist and clashed with Mu Heng's palm wind.
On the formation, the three of them were on the spear tips, moving up and down continuously. The sounds of saber wind, punches, claps, tiger roars, and all sorts of other sounds came out continuously.
After a while, the three of them exchanged more than a hundred moves on the formation. Everywhere they passed, the spear tips under their feet all shattered. A strong wind blew and yellow sand filled the air.
Soon, Xiao Chen managed to last more than five hundred moves under the barrage of attacks from the two. He did not show any signs of being at a disadvantage. Instead, he became more ferocious from a distance and his aura soared.
The crowd in the spectator stands could only see the blurry figures of the three through the yellow sand and the sounds of weapons, fists, and kicks clashing. It was such an exciting battle, yet they had to watch it through a layer of yellow sand. They felt an unbearable itch in their hearts; it was a pity.
"This Xiao Chen is really strong. Under the attacks of the two of them, he did not show any signs of being at a disadvantage. Qingyun Peak's Xiao Chen truly lives up to his reputation."
"Zhang Lie and Mu Heng are not bad either. A regular Inferior Grade Martial Saint would not be a match for the two of them."
"How can they be bad? There is no need to talk about Zhang Lie. He is already publicly acknowledged in Tianyue Peak. He is already one of the top ten core disciples of Tianyue Peak."
"I heard from the people of Beichen Peak earlier that Mu Heng is the son of the Beichen Peak's Peak Master. He spends most of his time cultivating in the back mountains, turning himself into a saber and using his strength to prove his Dao. Every time his cultivation increases, his strength increases exponentially."
"I wonder how long Xiao Chen can last. I believe he will not be able to last more than five hundred moves."
"Indeed, after all, he is fighting one against two. His Essence expenditure is double that of the two of them. The longer it goes, the greater the difference will be. However, for him to be able to last for so long, his strength is indeed horrifying."
While the people in the arena were fighting, the people outside the arena were not idle either. They all expressed their views and opinions. After this battle, even if Xiao Chen lost, the rumors about him would fall apart.
As the saying goes, the laymen watch the excitement, while the insiders watch the ropes. The few Peak Masters in the spectator stands were completely shocked. They were incomparably astonished by Xiao Chen's strength.
"His aura is long and drawn-out, and he is able to multitask. His Saber Techniques and Fist Techniques are perfectly coordinated. This fellow is truly horrifying," the Gangyu Peak's Peak Master sighed.
The Jade Maiden Peak's Peak Master, Chu Xiangyun, also had an expression of admiration on her pretty face, "The strength of his physical body is comparable to Mu Heng's. His Saber Techniques can suppress Zhang Lie's. His Essence seems to be inexhaustible. I wonder how strong he will become after he becomes a Martial Saint."
The Biyun Peak's Peak Master, Song Que, had not said anything since he made a fool of himself earlier. When he saw Xiao Chen's true strength, he thought to himself anxiously, His potential is too horrifying. If he is given time to grow, who knows what horrifying realm he will reach?
At that time, the consequences would be dire. I have to find an opportunity to kill this person.
