"Grandpa Feng, how is his strength?"
Bai Ruanqing couldn't stand the silence in the room any longer and asked.
It had been ten minutes since they left the Ethereal Hall, and as soon as Grandpa Feng regained his consciousness, he closed his eyes. It was hard to tell what he was thinking, but no one dared to say a word.
"Ingenious! Truly ingenious! "
Grandpa Feng slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes lit up in excitement.
"Ingenious?"
Everyone's lips twitched.
Could it be that the other party had been scared out of his wits?
Not only was he not angry after being beheaded, he even exclaimed 'ingenious'?
Did he think that being beheaded was ingenious?
Liu Lujie and Wang Jiandong glanced at one another as they couldn't help but rub their necks. Even though they knew that it was fake, they still couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive after being beheaded four times in a row.
It was already too late for them to be scared, so what was' ingenious' about it?
"I have cultivated the Heavysnow Swordsmanship for more than a hundred years, and the more I practice it, the more I admire it. Not only is it swift, more importantly, it conceals the zhenqi in its body within the sword, allowing it to be controlled with ease. Once it is unleashed, its sword qi will soar into the heavens, and its might will be unfathomable! "
Bai Feng's voice was filled with awe and admiration. "All along, I thought that this move was flawless, but who could have thought that the other party would be able to overcome it in a single move? That move of his … Ingenious! Indescribably ingenious! "
Even though he had been killed in a single move, he could tell that the other party's swordsmanship was indeed profound.
"This …"
Bai Ruanqing's face reddened as she looked at Bai Feng and asked, "Grandpa Feng, aren't you angry?"
You were killed by a nobody who hadn't even reached the Pseudo Immortal Realm. Don't you feel ashamed? Don't you feel angry? Don't you feel ashamed?
"I should be grateful to such a formidable swordsmanship, so why should I be angry?"
Bai Feng was taken aback. He seemed to have guessed what was going through everyone's mind, and he chuckled softly. "As a cultivator, we have to be humble and not conceited. The path of swordsmanship is vast and boundless, and there is no end to it. Even if we spend our entire lives exploring it, we won't be able to reach the end. Why should we let our pride affect our emotions? There's no need to be affected by fame and fortune. If I had done that, I would have been a core elder by now! "
"That's right!"
Everyone's face reddened.
In terms of strength, Bai Feng was more than qualified to become a core elder. Yet, he still chose to serve Elder Bai Ye, fulfilling his duty as a servant at all times. That attitude of his was worthy of respect.
"Grandpa Feng, I Am Low Profile's understanding of swordsmanship … is very high? Could it be that … he's even more formidable than you? "Bai Ruanqing asked curiously.
"Me?" Bai Feng shook his head. "I am not qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as him! Alright, I've gained a lot from this competition. I'll head back first … Ruan Qing, continue to look for that friend who sold the medicine! "
With that said, he stood up and leaped into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Not expecting Grandpa Feng to leave without the slightest hesitation, Bai Ruanqing turned to Liu Lujie and said, "I Am Low Profile … Since you aren't a match for him, just leave him be. Help me find out who he is!"
He took out the portrait again.
"All of the disciples are currently dueling with I Am Low Profile, so it won't be too easy to find out who he is. I'll ask someone once the duel is over," Liu Lujie said as he stood up.
Bai Ruanqing frowned. "I took a look earlier, and there are at least three thousand people left. There are still quite a few inner disciples entering the duel. It'll take some time before the duel is over!"
"No matter how long it takes, all of us inner disciples will persevere until the very end. We won't admit defeat! That's our pride and perseverance! "
Liu Lujie said resolutely. "I believe that as long as we persevere, no matter how formidable I Am Low Profile is, he'll eventually run out of energy and be killed. Victory will be ours in the end!"
Just as Liu Lujie was in the midst of vows, Wang Jiandong flicked his wrist and took out a jade token. He took a look at the jade token, and his face began to contort. It was as if there was something that he wanted to say, but he found himself unable to do so.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Lujie asked with a frown.
"Cough cough! Brother Liu Shi, the duel has come to an end. I Am Low Profile has killed the remaining three thousand people with a single slash, and we're currently in the midst of determining the victor!"
Wang Jiandong said.
"He killed the remaining three thousand people with a single slash? Three thousand people? "
Liu Lujie nearly collapsed to the ground. His eyes widened in shock as he asked, "Are you certain?"
He wasn't the only one who was stunned. Bai Ruanqing was also dumbfounded.
Killing one, two, or even ten people with a single slash was still acceptable, but to kill three thousand people of the same cultivation realm …
Was this a joke?
"The news has already been confirmed. Those who have been killed have returned to the Ethereal Hall to await the verdict," Wang Jiandong said.
As the third ranked inner disciple, he had his own loyal subordinates, so there was no doubt that the source of the news was accurate.
"This …" Liu Lujie's eyebrows shot up, but he quickly clasped his fist and said, "Senior Bai, the fact that everyone has been killed at the same time means that the bet has been completed. Those who have made the bet will have to return to the Ethereal Hall to await the verdict.
"Go on!"
Knowing the rules, Bai Ruanqing waved her hand casually.
To be honest, even now, she still found it hard to believe that this was real.
To challenge the inner disciples with his bare fists and kill three thousand people with a single slash …
Just who in the world was I Am Low Profile?
More importantly, he had caused such a huge uproar in the inner disciples.
What did this have to do with me?
…
At the Sword Gazebo, Elder Mu and the others finally recovered from their shock.
The strength that the other party had displayed showed that he was indeed an inner disciple. For an inner disciple to challenge the entire inner disciples and kill more than a thousand people consecutively, not only did he not lose, he even managed to kill all of them … This was truly monstrous!
"However, no matter how formidable he is, it's impossible for him to win. There are more than ten thousand inner disciples, and for the sake of their dignity, more and more of them will come. As long as he doesn't kill everyone in the Ethereal Hall, it's impossible for him to win!"
Elder Mu shook his head. "So, no matter how long he lasts, he'll only lose!"
The crowd nodded in agreement.
For a single person to challenge an entire inner disciple, not to mention that they were all of the same cultivation realm, it was simply too difficult for him to win!
No matter how formidable he was …
Weng!
While Elder Mu was still deep in thought, his Communication Jade Token suddenly buzzed. He lowered his head to take a look, and what he saw left him stunned. "T-this … Just like that, the result is out? I Am Low Profile has killed three thousand people with a single slash … How is this possible? "
"He killed three thousand people with a single slash?"
Absolute silence. All the elders were dumbfounded.
…
Hu hu hu!
In the Ethereal Hall, figures began appearing one after another.
Those who had participated in the duel and ended up being killed had rushed back as soon as they heard the news. They looked at the young man at the center of the hall with complicated looks in his eyes.
When they first heard that the other party was going to challenge everyone, they thought that he was being too arrogant. However, after experiencing the duel, they realized that the other party really did possess the strength to wipe out all of the inner disciples!
"The duel has ended. I Am Low Profile has challenged everyone in the Ethereal Hall, and he has used everyone's Sword Pavilion Coins as a bet.
The result is now out … "one of the administrators in charge of the duel announced." I Am Low Profile has emerged victorious! "
"He won just like that? None of the inner disciples was a match for him? "
"This is probably the most humiliating day in the history of the inner disciples!"
"All five thousand disciples were defeated … How could this be?"
Upon hearing the result, many of the inner disciples lost their composure.
As inner disciples of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, they had their own pride, and yet, that pride had been shattered by a single person so easily.
"I can't accept this! I rushed over as soon as I heard the news, but I didn't participate in the duel. I don't believe that he can defeat five thousand people singlehandedly! Even if he can defeat five thousand people, Senior Liu Lujie and the other top experts shouldn't have appeared. Otherwise, how could he have won so easily? "
Someone exclaimed.
Many of the inner disciples had rushed over upon hearing about the duel between the inner disciples, but due to various reasons, more than half of the inner disciples were still absent.
Many of them heard that the duel had ended as soon as they entered the hall. Even though they had not participated in the duel, they still had to bear the shame of it.
"Senior Liu Lujie has been the number one inner disciple for seven consecutive years. I don't believe that I Am Low Profile will be able to defeat him!"
Someone exclaimed.
Previously, when Liu Lujie had made a move, he had been killed before he could reveal his identity. Many of the inner disciples thought that Liu Lujie's swordsmanship was similar, but did that mean that it was him?
Not necessarily!
Hearing those words, they couldn't help but feel a sliver of hope. Could it be that Brother Liu Shi hadn't appeared?
Was that why that fellow had won?
"Are you intending to deny the bet?" one of the administrators in charge of the Ethereal Hall frowned.
"I wouldn't go so far as to deny the bet. He's indeed formidable, but that's only because he has defeated everyone here. He hasn't defeated all of the inner disciples! If the top experts of the inner disciples had really made a move, they wouldn't have been able to hold on until now! "
The person who had spoken earlier exclaimed loudly.
No matter how they argued, there was no way they could cover up the fact that five thousand of their inner disciples had been killed. Since that was the case, as long as they denied that they had defeated all of the inner disciples, they would at least be able to retain some dignity.
"There are ten thousand inner disciples in total, and five thousand of them have been killed. Isn't that enough to defeat all of the inner disciples? What do you mean by that? Don't you feel ashamed saying such words? "
The administrator in charge of the Ethereal Hall said with a livid expression.
They were the elders of the sect, and they didn't belong to the inner disciples, core disciples, or outer disciples. They had to abide by the rules.
"What we're saying is that the most formidable inner disciples haven't made a move yet. Since they haven't made a move, there's no basis to claim that they have defeated all of the inner disciples! "the disciple who had spoken earlier gritted his teeth.
"How can you be so sure that they haven't made a move yet?" the administrator in charge of the Ethereal Hall asked.
"I'm unable to make a decision, so I beseech the Ethereal Hall to release the details of the battle. That way, even if we lose, we'll be able to accept it wholeheartedly! "the person said.
"That's right. Please release the details of the battle. We would like to know who participated in the battle and ultimately lost. Those who didn't make it in time don't want to bear the blame together with us …"
"Only by releasing the details can we show that it's fair!"
"If those who participated in the battle are all new inner disciples, it's only natural that they would lose. How are we supposed to accept it then?"
Quite a few people chimed in.
