"Yes!" Wang Jiandong nodded. He took out his card and walked toward the front desk.
At this moment, everyone was enraged by the other party's provocation. They took out their Sword Pavilion Coins and placed them on the counter as collateral. This way, even if they were killed, they would still be able to complete the bet.
"This fellow is courting death …"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yanzhi and Wei Suifeng were so excited that they were about to explode.
Initially, the reason he sought out Liu Lujie and Wang Jiandong was simple. He wanted to use them to teach that fellow a lesson, force him to reveal his identity, and then win back the money he had lost. Who could have thought that the fellow would court death himself … He wanted to challenge all of the inner disciples all by himself!
That was insane!
This fellow's strength wasn't bad, but it would be difficult for two fists to fight against four hands, not to mention that there were over a thousand hands here …
"Even if that fellow doesn't use his ultimate move, there's no way he'll be a match for so many people. He'll definitely be punished by the sect …"
Both of them felt much more at ease.
Initially, he was very angry that his money had been won by the other party. However, now that he could see the other party's miserable state, he was no longer as angry as before.
"That fellow might be a retard, but he sure has guts …"
"That's right, to challenge so many people at once, if it were me, I would definitely not dare!"
"Even if I die this time, my name will surely shake the entire Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion!"
…
While the crowd was infuriated, they couldn't help but admire I Am Low Profile's courage.
At the very least, it had been many years since such a suicidal act had appeared in the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion.
"Who's first!"
Ignoring the crowd's comments, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. He jumped onto the dueling ring excitedly and looked around.
If he had known that he would be able to rob everyone of their wallets as long as he won, he would have made his move a long time ago. He wouldn't have wasted more than ten minutes on this!
"How arrogant … I can't take it anymore. I'll kill him first!"
An inner court disciple couldn't hold it in any longer and leaped up.
"I am Wu Feng, ranked 157th in the previous Inner Disciple Competition. My cultivation isn't high, but I won't allow anyone to humiliate me!"
The inner disciple roared as he brandished the sword in his hand. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he glared at I Am Low Profile.
Since the other party dared to say such words, his strength was definitely not to be underestimated. He probably wasn't a match for the other party, but... so what? Death was death, but he would never accept humiliation!
Hula!
In the blink of an eye, he stabbed out eighteen times, each faster than the last!
Martial Technique, Eighteen Winding Mountain Roads!
This was his strongest Martial Technique. With this move, he had killed many enemies of the same level.
At this moment, he was very familiar with the technique. Sword Qi whistled through the air.
Shielding his body with his sword qi, Wu Feng bellowed, "Draw your sword!"
"Draw your sword?" Standing on the spot, Zhang Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment. "I've already drawn my sword …"
"What happened?"
Wu Feng was taken aback. Only then did he feel a sharp pain in his throat. Just as he was about to lower his head, blood spurted out of his mouth. Plop! His head fell to the ground.
"This … this is impossible!"
Turning into specks of light that filled the sky, he disappeared on the spot.
He had exerted his full strength in that strike, but not only did the other party fail to block it, the other party even managed to sever his head … How in the world did he do it?
Not only him, but the audience was also dumbfounded.
Previously, everyone had thought that Zhang Xuan was being too arrogant, but from the looks of it now, it seemed that he did possess the strength to back up his arrogance.
At the very least, no one was able to tell how Zhang Xuan had cut off Wu Feng's neck.
"Amazing!"
"What's the use of being powerful? I don't believe that he'll be able to last that long with his zhenqi! "
"Indeed! There's no need to fear. At most, we'll just lose an Ethereal Token!"
"Let's fight him first. I don't believe that he'll be able to last that long!"
…
After a moment of shock, another disciple leaped onto the dueling ring.
Some of them might have hesitated if they were to be killed, but at the very most, they would only lose an Ethereal Token in the Ethereal Hall. As long as they could kill Zhang Xuan, they would be able to exhaust him completely.
"I …"
The inner disciple who had leaped onto the dueling ring raised his sword, but just as he was about to say a few words, he suddenly felt an itch in his throat. Following which, he looked down and saw his own heel.
His head had fallen off as well.
"Hurry up and come up. This way, I'll be able to save some time. Otherwise, how long will it take for all of you to come up one by one?"
After killing the inner disciple, Zhang Xuan turned to look at him with a frown.
There were more than eight hundred people beneath the dueling ring, and as soon as they heard the news, more of them rushed over. If they were to go up one by one, it would be impossible for them to kill all of them by the end of the day.
"You're courting death!"
On the other hand, the crowd below was so furious that they could explode.
If they were to go up one by one, they would at least be able to recover some of their zhenqi. However, if they were to go up one by one, they would be ganging up on Zhang Xuan!
"Let's do it together!"
Huala!
Five inner disciples leaped onto the dueling ring.
None of them were weak, and they were all ranked within the top three hundred in the tournament.
"Don't worry, we won't use any collaborative attacks. We'll fight you one by one!"
The leader of the inner disciples harrumphed coldly.
It would be embarrassing for him to be ganged up on by so many people. If they were to use collaborative attacks, they would not be able to leave the other party behind.
"It doesn't matter. Just hurry up!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. Raising the sword in his hand, he waved it lightly and walked past the group of five. "Alright, next batch …"
Putong! Putong! Putong! Putong! Putong!
As soon as those words were spoken, the heads of the five inner disciples fell to the ground simultaneously, and their bodies dissipated into specks of light.
Everyone knew that ganging up on one another would deplete a huge amount of zhenqi, and Zhang Xuan understood that as well. Had it been his main body, who had cultivated the Heaven's Path Divine Art and been a Celestial Saint, he would not have had to worry about running out of zhenqi. However, the body that the Ethereal Hall had bestowed upon him wasn't as strong.
Thus, he decided to kill the other party as soon as he made a move, not giving them a second chance.
This would save him a lot of stamina.
"Continue!"
"That fellow's sword is extremely swift. Let's not waste our breath on him. Let's go up and execute our strongest sword art!"
"Indeed! Don't go easy on him! Use your strongest attack! Even if we can't kill him, we should at least make sure that we can exhaust him as much as possible!"
Not expecting the five inner disciples to be beheaded before they could even surround Zhang Xuan, a huge commotion broke out beneath the dueling ring, and another five inner disciples charged forward.
At this moment, everyone knew that Zhang Xuan's strength was indeed fearsome.
However, they still found it hard to believe that he would be able to kill so many of them single-handedly.
Weng weng weng weng weng!
This time, as soon as the five of them went up to the stage, they did not waste any time and unleashed their strongest moves with their Sword Intents.
Even though they didn't have a collaborative formation, they were still experts. As soon as they made their move, five surges of sword qi swiftly fused together to seal off all of Zhang Xuan's movements.
Seeing that these inner disciples were much smarter than the previous ones, Zhang Xuan smiled faintly as he dove right into the net of sword qi.
As soon as he moved, the net of sword qi danced along with him.
He shook it twice.
Puhe! Puhe!
Before Zhang Xuan could even move his sword, two inner disciples had already been decapitated. Taking another step back, another inner disciple was killed on the spot.
The remaining two inner disciples were much easier to deal with. In less than a breath, they vanished from the dueling ring as well.
"This …"
Beneath the dueling ring, Liu Lujie's body trembled upon seeing this sight, and his eyes widened in astonishment. "He's using the combined might of the five of them as a single entity to kill them!"
"By doing so, he'll be able to conserve a significant amount of zhenqi and reduce his energy consumption to the minimum!"
Wang Jiandong nodded as his eyes widened to the size of lanterns, as if he had seen a ghost.
While the five of them were attacking one another, making use of the other party's uncontrollable sword qi to kill the other party … It sounded simple, but in truth, it was extremely difficult to pull off.
Firstly, one had to have a deep understanding of the moves of the five inner disciples, as well as their movements. Only then would one be able to charge into the midst of the sword qi without sustaining any injuries.
Secondly, one had to know each other's ultimate move and how to force them to execute it … Only then would one be able to make use of the other party's sword qi to kill them!
Thirdly, one had to have a perfect grasp of the trajectory of the attack, and one's state of mind had to be incomparably firm. Otherwise, if one were to panic, putting aside killing the others, one could very well be killed on the spot!
Not a single one of these three points could be overlooked. Even though he was able to defeat all five of them with his strength, he was unable to pull off such a feat!
Unable to hold himself back any longer, he turned to Liu Lujie, curious to see if the number one expert of the inner disciples could pull off such a feat.
"I won't be able to do it either … He only used a surge of zhenqi to kill the five of them. I'll need at least five surges of zhenqi …" Liu Lujie shook his head.
He was also able to charge into the midst of the five inner disciples and borrow their strength to kill them, but … it was impossible for him to achieve the same feat as Zhang Xuan.
In fact … doing so would consume even more zhenqi!
"However, as long as I can find out his strongest move and trump card, I should be able to kill him with my strongest attack!"
Liu Lujie said after a moment of hesitation.
Even though the other party's moves were swift and bizarre, he was still able to do the same. However, there was a limit to the amount of zhenqi in this body, so he had to end the battle as soon as possible.
As long as he could see through the other party's moves and prepare for it, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to emerge victorious!
"Everyone, be careful. Don't use any collaborative formations or attack him together, or else he'll make use of your strength …"
Liu Lujie and Wang Jiandong could tell that Zhang Xuan was making use of others' moves to kill him, and they exclaimed in shock.
If they were to kill one another, how could they possibly exhaust the other party's zhenqi and kill him?
"What should we do?"
"We can't attack him together. If we go up one by one, we'll die even more tragically …"
In an instant, the entire hall fell silent, and no one dared to rush up.
It would be impossible for them to go up one by one, and it would be impossible for them to coordinate with one another … There was no way they could win this battle!
No matter how they fought, they would lose!
"Allow me!"
Seeing that no one was moving, Wang Jiandong shot a glance at Liu Lujie before walking up to the dueling ring.
Before he could get far, a hushed voice sounded, "I'll use my full strength to force him to use his ultimate move. You should take a good look at him and think of a way to neutralize it. After that … kill him in a single strike!"
"Alright!"
Knowing Wang Jiandong's motive, Liu Lujie nodded.
Those who had charged up previously were not too strong. None of them were ranked in the top fifty of the inner disciples.
Wang Jiandong was ranked third. If he were to go up, he would surely be able to force out the other party's strength.
This way, he would have a greater chance of defeating the other party!
"I am Wang Jiandong. Allow me to witness your ultimate move!"
Stepping onto the dueling ring, Wang Jiandong no longer looked as ordinary as before. Driving his zhenqi furiously, his aura surged to the heavens, reminiscent of a war god.
The long sword in his hand let out a whimpering sound, as though it was infected by the sword will in his body. It was like a roaring dragon.
"Senior Wang Jiandong?"
"He's here as well? This is great!"
"He's ranked third among the inner disciples, and his swordsmanship is exceptional. If he makes a move, that fellow will surely be killed!"
"Even if he doesn't die, he'll surely exhaust a lot of his zhenqi …"
Upon hearing the name, the crowd immediately grew excited.
Liu Lujie and Wang Jiandong were using nicknames as well. If they did not reveal their names, no one would be able to recognize them.
"Wang Jiandong? Ranked third? "
Hearing the commotion, Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully.
"Indeed. Make your move!"
With a flick of his sword, Wang Jiandong's sword qi burst forth.
"Alright!"
Zhang Xuan stepped forward.
Padah!
Wang Jiandong's head fell to the ground.
The surroundings fell completely silent.
