"No!"
Liu Lujie shook his head. "We have already lost the duel earlier, so we won't be participating in the duel anymore. Otherwise, everyone will take turns to be killed. How can there be any fairness? "
It was already embarrassing enough for the other party to challenge the entire inner disciples single-handedly. If an expert of Zhang Xuan's caliber were to die and switch to another identity, wouldn't he be mocked to death if others were to learn of it?
Even if he lost, he had to lose with dignity!
This was the pride of the inner disciples of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, as well as the determination of their Sword Intent.
"Senior Martial Brother is right … I was too rash …"
Wang Jiandong took a step back awkwardly.
It was because he wanted to kill the other party too much that he came up with this idea. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed inappropriate.
The sword was the king of all weapons. If one wanted to practice the sword, then one had to first practice the heart. If one didn't even have this bit of pride and perseverance, then what qualifications did one have to obtain the recognition of Sword Intent and become a true expert of the Sword Dao? Thus becoming famous throughout the world?
"Yes! I'm here to accompany Senior Sister. Since Senior Sister has been killed, we should hurry back. Otherwise, I'm afraid she'll flip out … "
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had understood his intentions, Liu Lujie heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave the Ethereal Hall and return to the real world, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat. He tried to turn his head around, only to find that he was looking at his buttocks and heels once more …
"F * ck!"
Taking a closer look, Zhang Xuan saw that I Am Low Profile, who had charged into the crowd a moment ago, wasn't killed. Instead, he was advancing forward like a bulldozer, and with every step he took, a large number of heads would be lopped off.
The reason why he was killed was precisely because he was too close to the other party. The sword qi that emanated from the other party casually chopped off his head …
Just a weak surge of sword qi from the other party was more than enough to kill him … and yet, the other party was still thinking of launching a sneak attack on him!
Steal my ass!
How were they supposed to fight?
With a resentful look on his face, his head fell heavily to the ground and bounced a few times like a rubber ball. Then, he saw that Wang Jiandong's head was bouncing back and forth on the ground just like his …
Looking at the other party's expression, it seemed to be filled with sorrow as well …
He was really here to watch the show … Innocent …
How could they kill innocent people? How shameless! Was there any justice in this world?
Whoosh!
When Liu Lujie regained his consciousness, he felt even more depressed.
The first time, he had collided with the other party's sword and ended up being cleaved in two. The second time, he had walked over to watch the battle, only to have his head severed by the other party's sword qi.
He was the number one disciple of the Inner Sect for seven years in a row. He was a peerless genius who aspired to surpass the Ten Li Sword God. When did he become so insignificant?
Feeling frenzied, Zhang Xuan raised his head to take a look, only to see Senior Bai Ruanqing's body trembling uncontrollably. The room was already a complete mess.
It seemed like he wasn't the only one who couldn't accept it. The other party couldn't accept having his head chopped off as soon as he made a move, and he was venting his anger on his furniture.
It was fortunate that these items were not worth much. Otherwise, he would have suffered an even greater loss.
"Senior Sister, please calm down …"
He hurriedly got up and cupped his fists.
"Calm down? If I am not angry, how can I calm down? "
With a face as cold as ice, Bai Ruanqing glared at Zhang Xuan with gritted teeth.
Seeing her expression, Liu Lujie's heart turned cold. Just as he was thinking that something was amiss, the sight before him blurred.
Crackle!
The sound of fists and feet sinking into flesh rang out. The few inner disciples who had followed her here, including Zhu Yanzhi and Wei Suifeng, were all lying on the ground. Their faces were all bruised and swollen, looking extremely miserable.
"Alright, I've managed to catch my breath …"
After beating up these people, Bai Ruanqing felt that her chest had eased significantly. Heaving a sigh of relief, she turned around and said, "I'll need your help to find the person I want you to help me find. Also, I don't want anyone to spread the news of my visit today. If I were to hear of it, you should know what will happen!"
Liu Lujie, Wang Jiandong, Zhu Yanzhi, and the others immediately cowered in fear.
"I'll be taking my leave first …"
Hula!
Before she could finish her words, Bai Ruanqing had already left. She landed on the back of an aerial saint beast and disappeared from everyone's sight.
She was a core disciple who had come to the inner disciples' Ethereal Hall to teach an inner disciple a lesson, only to be defeated in a single move …
She would only be humiliated further if she continued staying here. She might as well leave!
…
"What should we do?"
Watching as the female tyrannosaurus turned around and left, Wang Jiandong asked with a bitter smile.
"What else can we do? This matter has already blown out of proportion. We can only report it to the elders! "
Liu Lujie said.
If they had killed 'I Am Low Profile' earlier, the matter would not have blown out of proportion. However, several hundred of their inner disciples had already been killed, and even a core disciple had been killed. If they did not report this matter to the elders, they would not be able to bear the consequences!
"Indeed. We should inform the elders and have them deal with this matter …"
Wang Jiandong nodded in agreement.
After discussing the matter, the two of them were just about to make a move when they suddenly heard a loud whoosh in the air. They hurriedly rushed out of the room, only to see more than a dozen elders descending from the back of an aerial saint beast.
They were the main elders in charge of the inner disciples' affairs.
"Liu Lujie, Wang Jiandong, what's going on in the Ethereal Hall?"
The one leading the group was a thin elder with a green beard and a gray robe. Upon seeing the duo, his eyebrows shot up.
He was the strongest and most authoritative person in the inner disciples, Elder Mu!
He was also the old acquaintance that Elder Lu Yun had met at the Elders' Hall the last time.
If Zhang Xuan were here, he would surely be able to recognize Elder Lu Yun among the dozen or so elders.
He had just been promoted to an inner disciple, so he shouldn't have been qualified to follow the crowd. However, due to the recruitment of a talented junior in the sect, he had gained the favor of the sect, so he was fortunate enough to follow the crowd.
"Reporting to Elder Mu, someone has challenged all of the inner disciples!"
Seeing that Elder Mu had arrived at his residence, Liu Lujie dared not hesitate and quickly recounted the matter to the latter.
I Am Low Profile had been keeping an eye on everything that had happened since the start of the duel, so he was well aware of everything that had happened.
"A single person challenged all of you and killed several hundred of you. Even when the two of you stepped forward, you were still unable to stop him?"
Elder Mu's eyebrows shot up in fury. "To think that I have educated you for so many years. How can you be so useless?"
"We …"
Liu Lujie's face reddened as he fell silent.
"Regardless of whether that fellow is an inner disciple or a core disciple, he's still an Ancient Sage 1-dan primary stage cultivator after entering the Ethereal Hall!"
Elder Mu harrumphed coldly. "To challenge several hundred of you at the same cultivation realm … How embarrassing! From the looks of it, you haven't remembered anything that I have imparted to you! "
"Elder Mu, it's not that we are weak, but that fellow is simply too powerful!"
Wang Jiandong said indignantly.
"Nonsense! How powerful can he possibly be? No matter how powerful he is, he's still using the swordsmanship of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion! " Elder Mu interrupted him. "You are weak, so you are weak. Don't try to find excuses for yourself!"
"This … You're right!"
Wang Jiandong was just about to refute Elder Mu's words when Liu Lujie tugged on his sleeves. Thus, he could only nod reluctantly.
In truth, he knew that Elder Mu's words might not necessarily be true, but he still couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Elder Mu, what should we do now?"
Liu Lujie asked after Elder Mu was done scolding Liu Lujie.
There was no point in scolding Elder Mu. This matter had to be resolved as soon as possible, or else the ones who would be humiliated wouldn't just be the inner disciples but the elders as well.
They had enjoyed so much of the sect's resources, but in the end, all of them ended up being wiped out by a single person … It wouldn't look good on them if word of this were to spread!
"Since we're already here, let's head over to take a look to see where that fellow came from. Why is he so unruly? "
Elder Mu waved his hand.
As long as one was strong enough, one would be able to obtain sufficient resources and become a core disciple. If one was even stronger, one would be able to become an elder of the sect.
To challenge an inner disciple, that fellow was truly unruly!
They were also interested to see who was the one who was so unruly!
"After confirming the other party's identity, we'll look for me and ask about the situation. Try your best to resolve this matter once and for all. Otherwise, your names will be recorded in the annals of history, and your name will go down in history!"
Elder Mu harrumphed.
"Yes!" Liu Lujie and the others nodded.
"Prepare some Ethereal Tokens for the inner disciples. As elders, it's not appropriate for us to enter the hall openly," Elder Mu instructed.
The Ethereal Hall of the inner disciples was a place where the inner disciples competed and traded with one another. Under normal circumstances, elders wouldn't be allowed to enter it.
Furthermore, given how big the matter had gotten, how would others view them if they were to enter as elders?
"Elder Mu, please wait a moment."
Liu Lujie and Zhang Xuan walked into the room, and before long, they returned with more than a dozen Ethereal Tokens.
The inner disciples who had been pummeled by Bai Ruanqing earlier were all stall owners in the market, so they had a large number of Ethereal Tokens with them. No one dared to turn down an elder's request.
After dripping a droplet of blood on it, Elder Mu sent his consciousness into the Ethereal Token.
Similarly, they didn't dare to reveal their true appearances in the Ethereal Hall this time. Instead, they disguised themselves as ordinary inner disciples.
The elders followed behind Liu Lujie and the others, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the vicinity of the dueling ground.
At this moment, the entire dueling ground was flooded with sword qi. Countless heads were strewn across the ground, and one by one, the inner disciples were reduced to specks of light before dissipating.
It had been less than ten minutes since Liu Lujie and the others left the dueling ground, but at least eight hundred inner disciples had already been killed!
In other words, in just a short fifteen minutes, a tenth of the inner disciples had already been killed. That was more than a thousand inner disciples!
Wasn't this a little too savage?
"It seems like he hasn't expended too much of his zhenqi and strength yet …"
The eyebrows of Liu Lujie and the others twitched uncontrollably as they looked at I Am Low Profile.
Seeing it with their own eyes, they felt as if they were going insane.
To think that a single person would be able to kill over a thousand cultivators of the same cultivation realm without expending too much of his zhenqi and strength … Had it been in the past, they would have never believed that such a thing would happen.
"Elder Mu, as you can see, the crowd is raging right now. There's nothing we can do about it …"
Liu Lujie walked up to Elder Mu and said.
It wasn't just I Am Low Profile who was unable to stop slaughtering the inner disciples, the inner disciples were also on a rampage. Putting aside him, even Elder Mu might not be able to stop them from doing so.
"The reason why you are helpless is because you are too weak. Watch me!"
Elder Mu harrumphed coldly. "Elders, follow behind me and stop that fellow from killing any more of them!"
"Yes!"
The ten strongest elders of the inner disciples nodded in agreement as they stepped forward.
Even though they had the same youthful appearance as the inner disciples, the Sword Intent that they emanated was undeniable. Upon seeing them, the crowd quickly made way for them.
"Alright, let's stop here!"
Elder Mu walked up to Zhang Xuan and gazed at him intently. He brandished his sword, and a burst of sword qi burst forth, shrouding the surroundings.
"Another batch? Are they going to fight me one-on-one again? I really don't have that much time to waste! "
Seeing so many of them appearing all of a sudden, Zhang Xuan was taken aback. He shook his head and flicked the sword in his hand.
"You …"
Not expecting the other party to make a move on them, not even allowing them to finish their words, Elder Mu flew into a rage. He raised his sword, but just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat.
Following which, his head fell to the ground. Before he could regain consciousness, he saw the elders behind him falling to the ground one after another, their heads gone.
