The other party was intending to exert pressure on him, so he was intending to make a move when the pressure was at its peak. This move might have been effective against Zhang Jiuxiao, but against him … it was too weak!
Putting aside the fact that his Soul Depth had already reached 8-star intermediate-tier, even if he was no match for the other party, he was still not someone that could be suppressed by such a move.
Hong long!
Zhang Xuan's movement was extremely light, but in the eyes of the two young men, it felt as if a massive mountain was crushing down on them, leaving them flustered.
Following which, a buzzing sound echoed in their heads. The pressure that they had exerted on the other party earlier immediately came crashing back at them, and the two of them felt their heads spinning.
"Terpsichore?"
Zhao Xingmo's eyebrows shot up.
Even though Zhang Xuan had his hands behind his back, he was still able to execute a terpsichorean soul attack in an instant. Not only did he nullify the two young men's soul attack, he even counterattacked, leaving the two young men panicking.
To be able to see through the intent of the attack in an instant, he was able to make the auditing student of the Sanctum of Sages suffer … This fellow was indeed not weak.
"Let's begin!"
Zhao Xingmo said with a wave of his hand.
Hong long!
His voice might not have sounded too loud to the ears of an outsider, but in the ears of the two young men, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck them, pulling them out of their dazed state.
"Damn it!"
Only then did the two young men realize that they had fallen for Zhang Xuan's trick, and their faces reddened in fury.
They were intending to teach the other party a lesson, but in the blink of an eye, they ended up losing their sense of self instead.
Huala!
Zhenqi gushed out from Zhang Xuan's acupoints, sealing the space around him. The two young men raised their hands, and their palms struck down simultaneously.
This move was incomparably well-coordinated. Be it in terms of zhenqi or strength, they had reached the very pinnacle. Even a Leaving Aperture realm primary stage expert would find it hard to escape if they were trapped in this move.
However, it was a pity that Zhang Xuan was not a Leaving Aperture realm primary stage expert but a Leaving Aperture realm advanced stage expert!
With a smile on his face, Zhang Xuan opened his mouth slightly.
"You have hit the wrong person …"
His voice carried a special charm, like a lover's whisper. When the two of them heard it, they couldn't help but blush.
In an instant, the palms that were about to land on Zhang Xuan's body changed direction and landed on each other's chests, just as he had said.
Bang! Bang!
With two muffled groans, they flew backward at the same time.
Initially, they were supposed to attack Zhang Xuan, but in the end, it turned into … a fight between the two of them!
"Demonic tune?"
Zhao Xingmo froze in place. "Is this guy trying to intimidate me?"
Just now, he had used his shout to wake the two of them up from their stupor. Although he had done it discreetly, the other party must have seen through it. Therefore, he had used the same demonic sound technique to make them kill each other!
His motive was very simple … he knew demonic tunes as well!
It was clear that this was a show of force to him. It was also a warning, blaming him for interfering in the competition.
"Interesting fellow!"
Understanding this, Zhao Xingmo didn't get angry. Instead, he felt a little curious about Zhang Xuan.
Those who were able to enter the Sanctum of Sages were either the offspring of powerful clans or unparalleled geniuses. In the future, they were bound to stand at the pinnacle of the Master Teacher Continent. If they didn't dare to retaliate in the face of unfair treatment, how could they possibly stand at the top?
As such, Zhang Xingmo's warning to the two of them was also a kind of test. He wanted to see how the other party would react.
Who could have thought that the other party would return the favor in their own coin … without the slightest bit of suppression or grievance?
Just this attitude in itself was enough to ensure that he wouldn't be put at a disadvantage.
"None of the auditing students of the Sanctum of Sages are pushovers. Being put at a disadvantage once is equivalent to exposing your trump cards as a demonic tunist and terpsichore. It won't be easy for you to withstand the remaining two blows …"
Chuckling softly, Zhao Xingmo turned his attention back to the dueling candidates.
Even though the two young men in charge of the examination were still young, they were bound to have passed the examination in order to become a auditing student of the Sanctum of Sages. To think that they would be able to defeat them with just demonic tunes and terpsichore was really looking down on them.
As expected, as soon as the two young men were sent flying, they immediately regained their senses. Their eyes narrowed, and killing intent surged from their bodies.
They were here to take the examination, not to put on a show.
To think that a fellow from a backwater village would actually launch two consecutive sneak attacks on them and humiliate them. They were so furious that they could explode at any moment.
"Stabilize your soul! Guard against his soul attack!"
The young man on the left bellowed as he pressed his palm against the space behind him. After which, he clenched his fist tightly, and the surrounding space immediately froze.
To think that a Primordial Spirit realm intermediate stage cultivator would actually be able to execute the Spatial Freezing technique that only Leaving Aperture realm experts were capable of!
"Don't worry!
At this moment, the young man on the right also realized what was going on and pushed his fist forward as well.
The Spatial Freezing of the two overlapped with one another, causing the surrounding space to become even more corporeal. It felt as if one had fallen into a swamp, hindering one's ability to advance or retreat.
"Incredible!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in approval. Under normal circumstances, if two Leaving Aperture realm experts were to execute the Spatial Freezing technique at the same time, it was very likely that they would clash with one another and cause the surrounding space to distort.
This was precisely the reason why the combined might of Leaving Aperture realm experts was not one plus one equals two, but one plus one equals zero point something.
This was the first time Zhang Xuan had seen something like this, but the two of them were executing completely different Spatial Freezing techniques.
As expected of those from the Sanctum of Sages, just their combat instincts and reflexes were already far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.
But to Zhang Xuan, the Spatial Freezing technique might have been difficult to overcome, but to him, it was a walk in the park. Taking two steps forward, he tapped his finger forward.
Si la!
It was as if something had exploded on the spot. As if a punctured balloon, several surges of air immediately burst forth in all directions.
Peng! Peng!
The two young men on the left and right did not expect the Spatial Freezing technique they had set up to be broken so easily, and they even suffered a backlash from it. They retreated two steps simultaneously as their faces paled.
"It's been two moves already … You've been the ones attacking me, so it's about time for me to make a move!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
As long as he could withstand three moves from them, he would be considered to have cleared the trial. He had been taking the brunt of their blows for the first two moves, but since this was the final move, he might as well take the initiative!
"Come!"
The eyebrows of the two young men shot up as they stacked their palms together. In an instant, an invincible aura burst forth from them. It seemed like they had also realized how powerful the young man before them was, so they dared not face him head-on.
"I feel bad for injuring you two, so I apologize in advance!"
Seeing that even a Leaving Aperture realm intermediate stage cultivator would have to retreat under the combined might of the duo, Zhang Xuan clasped his fist apologetically.
"Injured?"
"You're courting death!"
The two young men nearly exploded in rage. To apologize before even executing the final move … Hugging your head!
Let's talk about it after we win!
Furious, the two young men unleashed their combined might without holding back at all. As if a cannonball, it tore through the air, threatening to tear the entire hall apart.
But before it could even reach Zhang Xuan, the surrounding air had already been compressed, and the wind howled furiously, threatening to tear his skin apart.
"How powerful …"
Zhang Jiuxiao's face paled.
It was at this moment that he finally understood why Zhao Xingmo was so confident. It would be difficult for them to withstand three moves simultaneously … Putting everything aside, just this move alone was more than enough to deal with all of the secret arts that he had learned in the past!
Zhang Jiuxiao turned to look at Zhang Xuan worriedly, only to see the latter standing calmly in the face of the ferocious attack. Without using any battle technique or movement technique, he simply swatted it away as if he was swatting a fly.
"Let's end this!"
Padah! Padah!
Along with those words, the zhenqi cannonball formed by the two young men dissipated in the blink of an eye, as if it had never been there in the first place. In the next instant, the two of them were sent flying like ping pong balls. Hu! With two resounding thuds, they crashed into the wall, and large mouthfuls of blood spewed from their mouths.
The combined might of the two Sanctum of Sages listening in on the duel was actually unable to withstand even a single slap from him!
"Does this count as a pass?"
After sending the duo flying, Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows to look at Zhao Xingmo, as if he had just done something insignificant.
"Given that you are of the same cultivation realm, it's still possible for you to overcome the two of them in a single move.
Zhao Xingmo nodded. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little perplexed.
It was clear that the young man had gone easy on them in the first two moves, but why did he end up injuring them in the final move?
Could it be that the combined might of the two of them was so strong that they were unable to control themselves?
"Thank you! Jiuxiao, you should go. You should be able to withstand three moves! "
Zhang Xuan turned to Zhang Jiuxiao and said.
"Me? Right now? "Zhang Jiuxiao was taken aback.
The two of them were heavily injured, and it wouldn't be appropriate for them to go up just like that.
"Un. There are two of them, and there are two of us as well. I fought one round, so it's not unfair for you to go up," Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
"Yes …"
Hearing those words, Zhang Jiuxiao immediately understood what was going on.
The young man had intentionally injured the two of them in order to help him!
This way, he would have a chance of surviving three moves.
Zhang Jiuxiao was moved, but he knew that this wasn't the time to be dwelling on such matters. Thus, he walked up to the two young men and clasped his fist. "Please enlighten me!"
"Damn it!"
Hearing the conversation between the two of them and seeing that the fellow was really shameless enough to challenge them, the two young men felt so stifled that they could explode at any moment.
They had seen shameless people, but they had never seen someone as shameless as this!
We are already so injured that we can't even stand up … How are we supposed to fight you?
"Zhao shi has said that as long as you can withstand three moves from the two of you, he'll consider adding an additional slot to our Qingyuan Empire. If you can't defeat him, it'll be equivalent to admitting defeat, and Zhang Jiuxiao will be the victor!"
Zhang Xuan.
"Win? Dream on! "
"Even if you put your life on the line, you won't be able to withstand three moves from us!"
Gritting their teeth, the two young men leaped down from the wall and prepared to charge forward.
"Alright, the two of you should rest here!"
Zhao Xingmo said with a wave of his hand.
"Zhao shi …"
The two young men panicked.
It was all their fault. It had only been a short while, but they were already injured … Clearly, Zhao shi was angry that he refused to allow them to fight.
"It's not your fault. It's Zhang Shi's fault."
Zhao Xingmo waved his hand and stood up. With a light chuckle, he said, "I'll assess Zhang Jiuxiao personally!"
