He had thought that the other party was just trying to temper himself, and if he could not hold on any longer, the other party would step in personally to protect him. Yet, who could have thought that the other party would actually encourage them instead? If that was the case, the three of them would surely use their full strength. How could he possibly defeat them?
It would already be a blessing if he did not get pummeled to death!
He had thought that the other party was here to save him, but who could have thought that the other party would dig such a huge pit for him?
With a conflicted look on his face, Fan Xiaofeng was on the verge of tears.
Seeing the grief-stricken look on Fan Xiaofeng's face, Zhang Xuan did not know whether he should laugh or cry. "Don't dawdle. Just do as I say, and you'll surely win. Otherwise, don't blame me for not helping you if you get eliminated!"
With his guidance, it would be difficult for him to lose!
"Alright then!"
Seeing that the other party was not joking, Fan Xiaofeng cursed him several times in his heart before taking a deep breath and walking forward with a tragic look on his face.
At the very most, he would just be eliminated. After leaving this place, he would surely report everything that had happened here to the clan head.
Knowing that it would be difficult for them to escape from Zhang Xuan, the young man and the others glanced at one another viciously.
Hu!
Like a whirlwind, the three of them made their moves simultaneously.
In the blink of an eye, six arms materialized in the air, and each of them carried the might of a thunderbolt. They sealed off all of Fan Xiaofeng's escape routes.
The three of them were stronger than him in the first place, and now that they were working together, the might they wielded was even greater. Even an ordinary Great Sage 1-dan expert would find it hard to escape from them.
"This is the end of me!"
Fan Xiaofeng's body turned cold.
He had thought that he would be severely injured at the very most, but from the looks of it, surviving was already a luxury.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and await his death, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Do as I say. Use the third form of the Footwork Movement Technique together with the fifth form of the Illuminating Palm and the second form of the Seven Arcane Fists!"
As soon as the voice sounded in his ears, it was clear that it was Fan Xiaoxu. He had no idea why the other party was instructing him to execute these moves, but there was no other way out. Gritting his teeth, he made up his mind and muttered, "I'll give it my all!"
To be able to climb to this stage step by step from the harsh tests of the clan and experience countless trials and tribulations, Xiao Chen's mental state calmed down in the blink of an eye. The three sets of Martial Techniques slowly played out in his mind. His feet moved, and his body moved smoothly.
Hu!
The third style of his footwork allowed him to appear in the blind spots of the trio's attacks. Using his left hand's Illumination Fist and his right hand's Seven Arcane Fist, he struck the chests of two young men not far away.
Bang! Bang!
The jade medallion in front of their chests shattered, and the two of them had looks of disbelief on their faces as they were enveloped by a special light and disappeared.
"This …"
Fan Xiaofeng was taken aback. He looked at his hands as if he was looking at a monster.
Zhang Xuan had thought that he would be pummeled to death on the spot, but contrary to his expectations, not only did he manage to overcome his encirclement with a single move, he even eliminated his opponent …
When did he become so powerful?
"You, you …"
Seeing that his companion had disappeared in an instant, the leader of the group revealed a look of horror on his face. He could not be bothered with attacking anymore, and he could not help but retreat.
Fan Xiaofeng's earlier maneuver, be it his timing or his reflexes, had been flawlessly executed, allowing him to eliminate the two of them in one fell swoop. To be able to do so within such a short period of time was something that even Zhang Xuan could not match up to!
Ten breaths ago, he was still at the mercy of the other party, and yet, in the blink of an eye, he had already reached such a state … Could he really be following that fellow's instructions?
He couldn't help but look at the young man sitting on the boulder not too far away, and his heart was in turmoil.
Just how powerful was that fellow? To improve so much in an instant, just how powerful was he?
"Let's eliminate that fellow!"
Zhang Xuan said, interrupting Fan Xiaofeng's shock.
"Yes!"
If Fan Xiaofeng was still a little doubtful before, at this very moment, he was already filled with unconditional admiration for Zhang Xuan. Filled with agitation, he walked up to the leader of the group, opened his palm, and slashed it down.
The two of them clashed once more.
This time, Zhang Xuan did not allow Fan Xiaofeng to achieve a swift victory. Instead, he guided the other party to analyze the other party's attacks before allowing him to choose how he should deal with them.
In the beginning, Fan Xiaofeng was still a little rusty, and his mind was unable to keep up with Zhang Xuan's movements. However, after a dozen moves, he was already able to deal with the other party with ease. The leader of the group was no longer a match for him.
Peng peng peng!
With a single tap of Zhang Xuan's finger, the jade token pinned to the chest of the leader of the group shattered. With a look of indignation on his face, he was shrouded in a Teleportation Formation, and he swiftly vanished from the sight of the duo.
"Xiaoxu …"
Seeing how he was able to defeat a Half-Great Sage cultivator with his own strength, Fan Xiaofeng could hardly believe his eyes. He looked at the young man before him with admiration in his eyes.
It was no wonder Zhang Xuan had told them to wait patiently. It had only been a few days since they last crossed blows, but Zhang Xuan had already reached such a level.
Fan Xiaofeng was just about to express his gratitude when the young man on the boulder suddenly waved his hand. Turning to the mountain stream not too far away, he said with a smile, "Everyone, you have been watching for long enough. Isn't it about time for you to come out?"
Pah pah pah!
As soon as those words were spoken, a round of applause echoed in the air. Following which, seven figures walked out from the shadows of the mountain stream.
Fan Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat as his face paled a little. "Gedeng!" Fan Xiaofeng's face paled a little.
It was only at this moment that he realized why Xiaoxu had not made a move all this while. Most likely, he had already noticed that there were people hiding in the area, so he had been keeping his guard up.
"Fan Xiaoxu, I didn't think that you would be able to reach such heights after so many years of absence. Not bad, you are qualified to join us!" The white-robed young man standing at the very front was the one who had clapped earlier.
"Not bad! You are the descendant of Ancient Sage Zi Yuan, Yan Yixiao!"
The white-robed young man standing at the very front was the one who had clapped earlier.
Upon seeing the other party's appearance, Fan Xiaofeng felt his body turning cold, as if he had been plunged into an icehouse. "He's the strongest expert in the examination, without a doubt!"
Taking a closer look at the white-robed young man's appearance, Fan Xiaofeng's body turned cold, as if he had been plunged into an icehouse. "He's the strongest expert in the examination!"
Most of them would look into the candidates of the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism in advance.
Ancient Sage Zi Yuan was the number one expert of the Seventy-two Sages under Kong Shi's tutelage, the undisputed First Senior of the Seventy-two Sages. Even Ancient Sage Ran Qiu, the number one expert of the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism, had to heed his words.
Yan Yixiao was the descendant of Zi Yuan, and he was a renowned figure among the younger generation!
Who would have thought that they would meet here?
"You want me to join you?"
Zhang Xuan did not share Yan Yixiao's astonishment, nor did he realize that Yan Yixiao was the number one expert of the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism. Instead, he looked at Yan Yixiao leisurely.
"Indeed. I have my eyes on these people, and I have my eyes on you as well. If you join us, we'll eliminate the others!"
Yan Yixiao placed his hands behind his back as he spoke with a domineering tone that brooked no rebuke.
"I'm sorry, but I don't wish to be picked by anyone, and I don't wish to join you either …"
Seeing how narcissistic Yan Yixiao was, Zhang Xuan could not be bothered to say anything else.
"Brother Yan has invited you to join us because he thinks highly of you. Don't be so ungrateful. If you refuse, I'll eliminate you right here and now!"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's attitude, a young man standing behind Yan Yixiao bellowed furiously.
