In the previous Jiangnan Gathering, there had been cases of unknown young martial artists challenging famous experts on the Ranking List of Young Masters and winning, and it was more than once.
Therefore, the Xiao family added a rule after such incidents happened more than once. They would give them a chance to challenge anyone they wanted.
The Ranking List of Young Masters was cruel. Everything was based on one's ability. Those who stood would be at the top, while those who lost would have to get lost.
The six Divinity Stage martial artists from the Jiangnan Meeting looked at each other. Some of their eyes were filled with eagerness for a fight.
Today, they had indeed become famous in the Jiangnan Meet. However, other than the martial artists of the Jiangnan Path, the martial artists of the other paths would at most say, "Oh, it's them who won first place in the Jiangnan Meet and successfully joined the Xiao Clan."
However, that was not enough for the younger generation of martial artists who dreamed of becoming famous in the world.
The Ranking List of Young Masters was where they could be famous in the world.
With that thought in mind, someone immediately stood up and announced, "I'm Chen Xuancheng from Yannan Road. I'd like to challenge 'Night Hand' Liu Xiao, Childe Liu."
Among the many martial artists on the Ranking List of Young Masters, Liu Xiao was ranked 43rd, which was considered average. Chen Xuancheng was confident, which was why he dared to challenge Liu Xiao.
The other five Divinity Stage martial artists were also watching carefully.
After all, they had never seen a martial artist on the Ranking List of Young Masters fight at such a close distance. Now that they had such an opportunity, of course, they had to take a closer look. It was also convenient for them to analyze the general abilities of the many powerhouses on the Ranking List of Young Masters from Liu Xiao's ability so that they could determine their challenge targets.
Liu Xiao chuckled and raised his eyebrows. "Hah, you picked me? Alright then, I'll fight with you for a few rounds. "
Liu Xiao's laughter was a little strange. Those who were familiar with him knew that he was a little angry.
Chen Xuancheng could have picked anyone but him. What did he mean by that? Did he think that he was a pushover among so many martial artists on the Ranking List of Young Masters?
Chen Xuancheng made the first move after both parties bowed to each other in the middle of the ring.
Chen Xuancheng did not use any weapons. Instead, he used a set of fist techniques that were wide open.
The power of the fist was unparalleled, fierce, fierce, and ferocious, like a blazing sun falling down, the scorching hot True Qi condensed into surging flames that exploded, causing the surrounding ring to be charred black.
Chen Xuancheng was fierce and violent, while Liu Xiao was calm and gloomy. The Night Flow Flower in Night Rain's hand blossomed, and a pitch-black flower of death bloomed. Liu Xiao's slender fingers met Chen Xuancheng's iron fist, and black true energy exploded. Night Flow Flowers bloomed in front of Chen Xuancheng!
The explosive fist wind dissipated, and the burning zhenqi was devoured by Ye Liuhua. Chen Xuancheng's face paled. He quickly retreated and said, "Young Master Liu is indeed powerful. I am not a match for you. I am willing to admit defeat."
Seeing Chen Xuancheng admit defeat, Liu Xiao reluctantly withdrew his attack.
Initially, he wanted to teach Liu Xiao a lesson, but he didn't expect Liu Xiao to react so quickly. As soon as he felt something was wrong, Liu Xiao immediately retreated, not even giving Liu Xiao a chance to deal a heavy blow.
This was the Jiangnan Clique, and Chen Xuancheng had already admitted defeat. Liu Xiao couldn't chase after Chen Xuancheng, so he could only resentfully return to his seat.
At this moment, a handsome martial artist stepped forward and said, "I am Xiahou Changqing of the Zhongshan Path. I wish to challenge Shen Jin, who is ranked eighteenth on the Mortal Ranking List."
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
Shen Jin was in the top twenty of the Mortal Ranking List. People at this level were all heroic figures of the younger generation of martial artists. None of them had relied on underhanded methods to get there.
Although Shen Jin was a Loose Cultivator, he had been on the Mortal Ranking List for ten years.
He wasn't like Su Xin, who could jump dozens of ranks in every battle and reach rank twenty-two in just three battles.
Shen Jin had been at the very bottom of the Mortal Ranking List ever since he entered, and he had risen by two or three ranks each time. Step by step, he had made his way to the eighteenth position on the Mortal Ranking List.
If Xiahou Changqing wanted to challenge Shen Jin, then he was either a madman or he had the confidence to say such a thing.
As an expert ranked eighteenth on the Mortal Ranking List, Shen Jin naturally had to appear humble and reasonable.
When he heard Xiahou Changqing challenge him, Shen Jin merely smiled and said, "Alright then, I shall exchange a few moves with Brother Xiahou."
Shen Jin ascended the ring and slowly drew the saber and sword from behind him.
Below the ring, Su Xin asked, "What's the background of this Xiahou Changqing?"
He dared to challenge Shen Jin, and looking at Xiahou Changqing's temperament, he didn't look like a martial artist from a small faction.
Apart from the top factions in the martial arts world and some of the factions in Xiangnan that Su Xin was familiar with, Su Xin didn't know much about the other factions.
Zhuge Qingtian smiled faintly and said, "He doesn't have any impressive background. This Xiahou Changqing should be from the Xiahou Clan, a first-rate aristocratic family of the Zhongshan Path. They have a few Soul Formation Realm martial arts masters, and they can be considered a dominant faction in the Zhongshan Path.
The only thing that the Xiahou Clan is famous for is that they once had an expert on the Earth Ranking in their early years. Unfortunately, the younger generation of disciples didn't live up to expectations, so they could only barely maintain their current state.
Looking at Xiahou Changqing, it's obvious that this is the first time the Xiahou Clan has released him. I'm guessing that he's a secret weapon that the Xiahou Clan has been cultivating, and they're preparing to amaze the world at the Jiangnan Conference. "
At this point, the corner of Zhuge Qingtian's mouth revealed a hint of a disdainful smile, and Su Xin also laughed along with him.
If the Xiahou Clan really had such an idea, then the Xiahou Clan was going to lose everything this time.
The Jiangnan Conference this time wasn't that simple. If the remnants of the Wu Kingdom and the White Lotus Sect really wanted to do something at the Jiangnan Conference, then even if Xiahou Changqing really did amaze the world at the Jiangnan Conference, he would immediately be overshadowed by this huge news.
At this moment, in the ring, Shen Jin took out the saber and sword from behind him.
Shen Jin had always been a very self-disciplined person. With his status as an expert on the Mortal Ranking, he naturally didn't lack things like gold and silver. When he randomly passed by a small sect, they would offer him gold and silver and ask for his guidance.
However, Shen Jin had never accepted these things. When he was short of money, he would become a bodyguard for others. His life was just like before when he was in dire straits, eating simple meals and wearing coarse linen clothes.
Because of this, Shen Jin was able to rank 18th on the Mortal Ranking as a Rogue Cultivator. Even if others didn't recognize Shen Jin's strength, they still admired his strong self-control.
Especially when Shen Jin casually threw away the brocade that wrapped the saber and sword, setting off his slightly shabby attire, this feeling was even more intense.
Shen Jin's nickname was' Sword and Saber Dual '. With the saber in his left hand and the sword in his right, they worked together extremely well.
At this moment, Shen Jin crossed the saber and sword and made an inviting gesture to Xiahou Changqing, indicating that he should make the first move.
Xiahou Changqing didn't stand on ceremony. From his sleeve, a curved saber that resembled a silver moon slid into his hand, and he attacked Shen Jin.
The saber's momentum was ethereal and traceless. Everyone only saw the sky darken. Xiahou Changqing's saber seemed to absorb all the light in the surroundings, leaving only the saber light that resembled a silver moon shining dazzlingly.
This saber strike was indeed stunning. The Essence Soul realm experts from the various factions of the Jiangnan Path gasped in admiration, saying that Xiahou Changqing indeed had the strength to rank in the top 30 on the Mortal Ranking.
However, below the ring, Su Xin curled his lips in disdain.
Xiahou Changqing's saber strike was very familiar to Su Xin. It was very similar to the Lone Saber Strike that Xiao Moyun had executed in the Xiangnan Path.
Su Xin said that it was very similar, not in terms of appearance, but in terms of the execution. They both condensed one's essence, Qi, and spirit to execute the most powerful saber strike.
However, Xiahou Changqing's saber strike was far inferior to Xiao Moyun's Lone Saber Strike. It was gorgeous, but lacking in might.
Although Xiahou Changqing's strength was much stronger than Xiao Moyun's, in terms of saber arts, his saber strike was inferior to the Lone Saber Strike.
As the silver moon descended, Shen Jin didn't panic at all. The long saber in his left hand also slashed out. The saber beam tore through the sky, and the saber's momentum was strange and ruthless. It was like a storm that directly shattered the silver moon.
At the same time, the longsword in Shen Jin's right hand had already stabbed out.
Unlike the strange and ruthless saber strike in his left hand, the sword art in Shen Jin's right hand was upright. The majestic sword beam traversed the nine heavens, causing Xiahou Changqing's expression to change immediately.
On one side was the strange and ruthless saber beam, and on the other side was the majestic and upright sword qi. However, be it the saber art or the sword art, they were both so perfect that Xiahou Changqing couldn't find a single flaw. He could only forcefully parry and dodge, but it was getting weaker and weaker.
Left saber and right sword. This wasn't as simple as one plus one. Two fighting styles, and even two martial arts routes, only the heavens knew how Shen Jin was able to perfectly merge them together.
But it was precisely because of this that it was overwhelming. After dozens of moves, Xiahou Changqing's forehead was already covered in sweat.
After almost having his protective True Qi destroyed by Shen Jin's saber strike, Xiahou Changqing hurriedly shouted, "I admit defeat! I admit defeat! "
Hearing Xiahou Changqing admit defeat, Shen Jin immediately stopped, nodded at Xiahou Changqing, and then turned to leave.
He wasn't Liu Xiao. Of course, he couldn't injure anyone at the Jiangnan Gathering. Otherwise, the reputation he had worked hard to accumulate for more than ten years would go to waste.
Xiao Huang chuckled and said, "Brother Xiahou, don't be discouraged. Brother Shen's strength has only reached this level after cultivating day and night for more than ten years. Brother Xiahou is still young. You can start all over again at the next Jiangnan Gathering."
Xiao Huang gave Xiahou Changqing a way out, but a strange look flashed in Xiahou Changqing's eyes. He said, "Young Master Xiao, there's no need for a next time. This time will do the same. I can't beat Brother Shen, but I still want to challenge the Blood Sword Divine Finger, Su Xin, who is ranked 22nd on the Ranking List of Young Masters."
When these words came out, everyone present was stunned for a moment. However, they weren't stupid. With a little thought, they understood what Xiahou Changqing was planning. They couldn't help but reveal a look of disdain. His method was a little too disgusting.
