In all fairness, Shen Bai's reputation in the pugilistic world wasn't that great.
The Azure Water Sword Sect had been declining for so long, and only Liu Gongyuan still had some reputation in the pugilistic world. As for the rest, whether it was Shen Bai or the others, they could only be considered as nobodies.
Seeing a martial artist who was only at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm in mourning attire, Cheng Tingshan frowned and berated, "Which sect's junior is here to cause trouble? Didn't your elders teach you how to respect your juniors? The disciple might not be sensible, but is the master not sensible? Get down, don't mess around! "
Hearing Cheng Tingshan calling him master, Shen Bai's eyes revealed a cold glint.
But his expression didn't change at all. He held his sword and said in a deep voice, "Previously, no one mentioned that the Unity of Heaven and Man realm can't participate in the contest. Could it be that Senior Cheng doesn't even dare to face a junior's challenge? I am Azure Water Sword Sect … the new Sect Master, Shen Bai. Concealing Sword Villa, Villa Master Cheng, please enlighten me! "
At this moment, Shen Bai wasn't challenging Cheng Tingshan as a junior, but as the Azure Water Sword Sect's Sect Master.
Cheng Tingshan frowned, "You are the new Sect Master of Azure Water Sword Sect? What nonsense! Where is Liu Gongyuan? "
Shen Bai said in a deep voice, "My master has passed away, so I am the new Sect Master of Azure Water Sword Sect. Isn't this qualification enough to challenge Villa Master Cheng?"
Hearing that Liu Gongyuan was dead, everyone was in an uproar. Cheng Tingshan's eyes revealed a trace of disdain.
In all fairness, Liu Gongyuan was a formidable figure. When he was at his peak, even Cheng Tingshan didn't dare to make a move against him.
But now that Liu Gongyuan was dead, and the Azure Water Sword Sect had declined to the point of pushing a Unity of Heaven and Man realm martial artist to be the Sect Master. This was simply a joke.
The Azure Water Sword Sect was still one of the seven sects and eight schools because of Liu Gongyuan's existence. Now that Liu Gongyuan was dead, the Azure Water Sword Sect would probably be removed from the pugilistic world soon.
This new Sect Master of Azure Water Sword Sect might be talented, but he was still too young and inexperienced.
At this time, instead of quickly hiding the news of Liu Gongyuan's death and cultivating behind closed doors to the Real Pellet State, he actually ran around and actively spread the news of Liu Gongyuan's death. This was simply digging his own grave.
Cheng Tingshan snorted coldly. "If Liu Gongyuan was still alive, he wouldn't let you do such a stupid thing. Since you're just a junior, I'll give you a chance. Leave. "
Shen Bai shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't want this opportunity."
A hint of anger appeared on Cheng Tingshan's face as he said, "I gave you face, but you don't want it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Tingshan had already unsheathed a longsword in his hand. It shone with a dazzling brilliance, and starlight scattered in all directions when the sword was unsheathed. Each streak of starlight contained an astonishing sword intent!
The longsword in Cheng Tingshan's hand was a Divine Weapon. It was ranked forty-fifth in the Martial World's Famed Sword Manual, Falling Star. Its grade was much higher than Shen Bai's White Rainbow.
There were one hundred and eight famed swords in the world, and a small half of them were kept in the Hidden Sword Villa.
Shen Bai closed his eyes slightly. This was his first battle representing Azure Water Sword Sect in the martial world. Even if he had to face an expert on the Reputation List, the Hidden Sword Villa's Villa Master, Cheng Tingshan, he couldn't lose!
If Chu Xiu could kill Nie Renlong, then he could also defeat Cheng Tingshan!
With such a resolute mood, Shen Bai's White Rainbow was already unsheathed.
It was such a casual sword strike, but it contained Shen Bai's extreme concentration of blood and sweat. It made his face faintly reveal a trace of morbid paleness.
As the sword thrust out, many of the sword-wielding martial artists found that the longswords in their waists were actually trembling and flying out of their control towards the arena.
Apart from the martial dao masters who were able to suppress their own weapons, the rest of the sword-wielding martial artists could only watch as their longswords flew out of their hands and circled around Shen Bai.
Countless sword hums resonated throughout the heavens and earth. Thousands of longswords were in the air, revolving and dancing in a dense manner. As Shen Bai's sword descended, the countless longswords were mixed with thousands of sword qi as they continuously attacked Cheng Tingshan. The prowess was simply incomparably horrifying, causing everyone's scalp to go numb.
Cheng Tingshan was also incomparably terrified. 'What are these things?'
The sword in his hand quickly changed from attacking to defending, but it was attacked by the countless longswords and sword qi, causing him to retreat step by step.
Cheng Tingshan's strength was still considered strong. Previously, Xu Beigui couldn't even resist against the powerful sword qi of the Sect Origin Swords and was instantly killed.
With a longsword in hand, Shen Bai suddenly took a step forward. Countless longswords were gathered together by the formless sword qi, forming a giant sword that was hundreds of meters in size. It came crashing down at Cheng Tingshan!
With a loud bang, the arena was directly smashed into pieces. Cheng Tingshan's figure was forced back several tens of meters before he stopped. His face was already pale with a tinge of red, and it seemed very strange.
On Cheng Tingshan's Fallen Star Sword, there were traces of tiny cracks. Shen Bai's attack just now had actually almost shattered his Fallen Star Sword!
Shen Bai sheathed his longsword with a pale face and said in a deep voice, "Manor Lord Cheng, thank you for letting me win."
Everyone present was dumbfounded to see this scene.
One move. This Shen Bai actually defeated Cheng Tingshan in one move. This strength was a little too terrifying. When did the Azure Water Sword Sect have such a person? This person was probably comparable to the top three on the Longhu Roll!
On the side, Ying Bailu also looked at Shen Bai curiously. To be honest, he had only seen two people who could reach Shen Bai's level of explosive power. One was Zhang Chengzhen, and the other was Chu Xiu. Even Zong Xuan was slightly inferior.
Since the Azure Water Sword Sect had such a genius, why didn't they bring him out earlier? If this Shen Bai had appeared in the Xiaofan Heaven, he would definitely be in the top three on the Longhu Roll.
Ying Bailu was purely sent out to be a mascot. He had no intention of fighting at all, but he didn't expect to get such an unexpected reward.
This Shen Bai was so much more interesting.
Of course, Cheng Tingshan, who had been sent flying, didn't find it interesting at all.
He threw the Fallen Star Sword back into the secret space box and took out another longsword. It turned out to be a divine weapon as well, which made everyone's eyes turn green with envy.
Some people even thought that if they killed Cheng Tingshan, would they be able to obtain all the items in Cheng Tingshan's secret space box?
In fact, Cheng Tingshan's defeat just now was just a mistake. He didn't expect Shen Bai to be so strong.
That was why he made the first move without checking, and it was too late to defend himself. That was why he ended up in such a sorry state.
Just as Cheng Tingshan was about to make another move, Xiahou Zhen sneered. "Cheng Tingshan, if you're willing to bet, you must be willing to lose. You've lost this round.
If you don't win the first time, you'll fight again. Are you trying to be shameless here without caring about anything?
Your Hidden Sword Villa can be shameless, but this time, our Eastern Qi Alliance can't afford to waste any more time! "
Although the duel did not state whether being blasted out of the arena was considered a loss, Cheng Tingshan had been blasted away by Shen Bai's sword in front of everyone's eyes and fell off the arena. If this was not considered a loss, then it was indeed a little unreasonable.
Cheng Tingshan's face was flushed red. He was the master of the Hidden Sword Villa and a senior in the martial world. But today, he lost to a junior like Shen Bai in front of everyone. This was a great humiliation.
Everyone present didn't care if Cheng Tingshan underestimated his opponent or if he still had a trump card. In their eyes, Cheng Tingshan had lost.
With a heavy snort, Cheng Tingshan walked to the side and sat down with a dark expression.
Xiahou Zhen laughed. "I didn't expect the Azure Water Sword Sect to have such an outstanding person like Shen Bai. Sect Master Liu may have passed away, but his spirit in heaven will be gratified. Shen Bai has won this round. Who will be the next one? "
Shen Bai suddenly said, "I'm not here to fight for the position of alliance leader. Based on my seniority and experience, I don't have the qualifications to be the leader. Since Patriarch Xiahou was the initiator of this alliance and spent so much effort on it, it only makes sense that he should be the leader. "
If Liu Gongyuan could see Shen Bai's performance today, his spirit in heaven would definitely be gratified.
In the past, Shen Bai was a man of few words, simple and crude, and usually didn't consider the consequences. But now, Shen Bai had learned to do things with the mentality of a true sect master.
The Azure Water Sword Sect was weak, and Shen Bai was a junior. Even though he was strong enough, but if they really fought, everyone here might not lose to him. Cheng Tingshan only lost because he underestimated his opponent.
Therefore, if he insisted on fighting for the position of alliance leader, Shen Bai might not have a good ending.
On the contrary, he used his strongest ability to defeat Cheng Tingshan the moment he showed up. He won everyone's respect and made a name for the Azure Water Sword Sect. If he took a step back, he would gain Xiahou Zhen's favor. Why not?
As expected, after hearing Shen Bai's statement, Xiahou Zhen immediately revealed a trace of delight.
The head of the Lu Family was on Xiahou Zhen's side. When he heard that, he immediately stood up and said, "Sect Leader Shen is right. Brother Xiahou has been running around for the sake of the Alliance, which is why we are all gathered here. In terms of understanding of the Alliance, none of us here can compare to Brother Xiahou. It is indeed a bit too much to let someone else be the Alliance Leader."
As Cheng Tingshan was humiliated and severely injured, no one stood up to object. The one with the most thoughts was Cheng Tingshan.
The rest were either undecided and were prepared to watch the show, or they had a grudge against Chu Xiu. It didn't matter who the alliance leader was, as they only wanted to kill Chu Xiu.
Therefore, no one stood up to object, except for Cheng Tingshan who still had a dark expression.
Xiahou Zhen revealed a smile, stood in the center, and cupped his hands together, saying, "Fortunately, I received everyone's favor and became the leader of this alliance. I will definitely lead everyone to kill Chu Xiu, that demon of the demonic path, and destroy the Guanzhong Discipline Hall, returning justice to the martial world!"
