No one knew why Gao Hongjing and Mu Beihuan were fighting. Only they themselves knew.
Moreover, the reason for the fight was not the main point. The main point was that the fight between the two was very intense and exciting. It was too much for the eyes to take in, and they were shocked.
"Mu Beihuan, this time it's a draw. Next time, you'll lose without a doubt," Gao Hongjing said in a domineering tone.
"I'll wait and see." Mu Beihuan replied neither too fast nor too slow. His body swayed as if he had lost all his weight and was blown away by the wind, floating in the air.
Then, his body slowly dissipated until it completely disappeared. Mu Beihuan's body had already turned into a small black dot and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Mu Beihuan's speed was extremely fast, and his body movement was very mysterious. In an instant, his real body left a vivid afterimage, making people think that he was still in the same place.
"Humph." No one knew whether it was Mu Beihuan's answer or Mu Beihuan's action that made Gao Hongjing unhappy. He couldn't help but snort coldly. Then, he swept his gaze over the world. Many people unconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look at Gao Hongjing.
Chen Zong was not afraid at all. When their gazes met, it was as if there were sparks surging. Gao Hongjing was slightly startled. His eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a fierce and domineering aura that was as shocking as a dragon.
However, Chen Zong looked indifferent. He didn't seem to be affected at all.
"Senior Brother Gao." A respectful voice sounded. Then, a figure flashed and appeared beside Gao Hongjing.
"Yes." Gao Hongjing nodded, still staring at Chen Zong. His gaze became even more fierce and domineering.
The newcomer followed Gao Hongjing's gaze. When he saw Chen Zong, he was slightly startled. Then, a ferocious smile appeared on his face, and he immediately whispered something to Gao Hongjing.
Gao Hongjing's face flashed with a trace of understanding. Then, he looked away as if he had lost interest. "Xu Ling, I'll leave him to you. But since he's from the same sect, go easy on him."
"Very well," Xu Ling's lips curled up, and a cold light shot out from his eyes. He tore through the sky and headed straight for Chen Zong.
A boom rang out, like thunder from the heavens. A figure shot up into the sky like a bolt of lightning, vanishing in the blink of an eye. Two deep footprints were left behind on the ground, surrounded by cracks and cracks.
After Gao Hongjing found out about Chen Zong's identity, he didn't want to pay any more attention to him. As for the others, they were not worthy of his attention, so he left directly.
"Chen Zong … Chen Shidi … Long time no see. I thought you died in some corner." Xu Ling walked towards Chen Zong step by step. As he spoke, his aura gradually spread out. It was sharp and cold, like an ice blade cutting through the air.
Two years ago, he had personally paid a visit to Chen Zong to give him a chance to follow Senior Gao. The price was only some contribution points. What an honor it was.
But at that time, Chen Zong actually refused. He didn't cherish it at all and didn't give him any face.
Xu Ling wanted to teach Chen Zong a lesson.
However, Chen Zong was a new disciple on Mount Baiyun. He was protected by the Sect's rules, so he couldn't do anything. He could only wait until Chen Zong left Mount Baiyun.
Chen Zong did leave Mount Baiyun. Two years ago, Xu Ling had something to do, so he didn't do it himself. Instead, he sent someone else. He didn't expect that not only did he fail to teach Chen Zong a lesson, but he was also defeated.
After that, it was said that Chen Zong entered the Myriad Treasures Secret Realm and never came out. It was suspected that he died in the Myriad Treasures Secret Realm.
Xu Ling didn't expect to see Chen Zong here today.
Since he saw Chen Zong, and Senior Gao had given him the order, he would do it himself and teach this arrogant disciple a lesson.
"Senior Brother Xu, you don't have to worry. I'm living a good life, better than you," Chen Zong replied calmly. What he meant was that he wouldn't die even if Xu Ling died.
"Good, as long as you're living a good life, your Senior Brother is happy." Xu Ling did not seem to understand the meaning behind Chen Zong's words, but his eyes became even more ferocious. "From the looks of it, your cultivation level should have increased. Let me, your senior brother, test your current strength. Otherwise, if you don't have enough strength, you will only tarnish the reputation of our White Cloud Mountain."
It was reasonable for a Senior Brother to test his Junior Brother's strength for the sake of the Sect's reputation. Chen Zong's lips curled into a smile.
Late-stage Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer!
That's right, Xu Ling's cultivation had broken through in the past two years. He had risen from mid-stage Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer to late-stage Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer. With such an improvement, his strength would naturally improve.
In terms of Qi Cultivation, Chen Zong was indeed inferior to Xu Ling, but in terms of improvement, he was better than Xu Ling.
In terms of strength, there was no need to even mention it.
"Xu Ling, he's Xu Ling," Someone recognized Xu Ling.
"Who?"
"70th on Mount Baiyun's Cloud List, Soaring Cloud Sword Xu Ling."
"It's him!"
All of a sudden, everyone was shocked.
70th on the Cloud List.
There were a total of seventy-two spots on the Cloud List. Being ranked 70th was considered a very low ranking, but the Cloud List itself was extraordinary.
One had to know that there were more than ten thousand outer sect disciples on Mount Baiyun, but there were only seventy-two people on the Cloud List. They were the strongest seventy-two people in the outer sect. One could imagine how difficult it was.
Being able to be ranked 70th was enough to show Xu Ling's tyrannical strength.
Obviously, the other person was also a disciple of Mount Baiyun, but for some reason, he had provoked Xu Ling and was now being taught a lesson by Xu Ling.
For a time, the gazes that everyone looked at Chen Zong could not help but carry some pity.
In the same sect, there were those who united and loved each other. There were also those who competed with each other, and there were even those who secretly plotted against each other.
A sect was like a small underworld. There were all kinds of people.
However, since this was a conflict between disciples, it was not good for outsiders to intervene. Even if they could intervene, these people would not. Firstly, they did not know Chen Zong and had no relationship with him. Secondly, Xu Ling was not an ordinary cultivator.
Xu Ling's footsteps were not fast, but with every step, his aura continued to rise and become stronger. A sharp and cold aura pressed down, like an invisible sharp sword tearing through the sky, fiercely stabbing at Chen Zong.
If one was really not as good as Xu Ling, facing such an aura, one would have already stiffened and found it difficult to move. Even if one could move, one would probably not be able to use much of one's strength.
However, Chen Zong was not affected at all.
If it was before returning to Canglan World, Chen Zong knew that he was not Xu Ling's opponent. After all, the difference in cultivation was too big, and it was not something that could be made up for in other aspects.
However, during his trip to Canglan World, he encountered a major unforeseen event where the Demon Clan made a comeback and the revival of the Demon Path forces wreaked havoc on the mainland. In the chaos, Chen Zong also obtained a great opportunity. His cultivation increased rapidly, and so did his strength.
His Body Refinement cultivation reached the late-stage of Dragon Force Realm.
His Qi Cultivation reached the mid-stage of Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer!
Heart Sword Force Sixth Layer!
White Cloud Force Fourth Layer!
Flame Force First Layer!
Purple Cloud Black Star Flame also reached the Ninth Grade!
Moreover, his Sword Dao realm had integrated all his previous breakthroughs, reaching the Third Layer of Sword Manipulation with the Heart. After many life and death battles, it was promoted to the Great Perfection Stage.
Then, after great enlightenment, he created the Heart Calming Sword, combining the power of Qi Cultivation and Body Refinement into one, and his strength skyrocketed.
With such strength, even if Gao Hongjing made a move, Chen Zong was confident that he could fight.
What's more, Chen Zong also had the Scarlet Flame Sword, which allowed him to exert the strength of a half-step Saint.
In terms of aura, there was no need to mention. He had killed hundreds of thousands of demons in the Earth Demon Abyss, killed more than ten thousand demons in the Devouring Devil Forbidden Land, and slaughtered countless demons and Demon Path masters in Canglan Continent.
If Chen Zong released his killing intent, whether or not Xu Ling could withstand it was still a question.
Seeing that Chen Zong's expression did not change under the impact of his increasingly powerful aura, Xu Ling felt very unhappy. With a shout, the long sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed, like a ray of light shooting out from the scabbard.
Sword light filled the air, thousands of rays condensed in an instant, forming a majestic sword that slashed down.
* Hong! *
As the sword arrived, the terrifying sword pressure it emitted caused the ground to crack.
His cultivation was only at the late-stage of the Transcendent Realm, but his strength was far greater than his cultivation.
The sword arrived at an astonishing speed, but Chen Zong remained motionless, as if he couldn't react in time.
Just as Xu Ling's sword was about to hit Chen Zong, a beam of sword light suddenly lit up, incomparably dazzling and blinding, forcing those who saw it to close their eyes.
No one knew where the sword light came from or where it landed. Even Xu Ling did not know.
In an instant, the power contained in Xu Ling's sword was shattered. The terrifying sword light seemed to descend from the heavens. Xu Ling only felt that he had been struck directly by an extremely powerful force. He was unable to resist it, and his entire body was sent flying.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Ling flew back several hundred meters, his blood tumbling and his Spirit Qi chaotic, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
[I lost!]
[I actually lost!]
Xu Ling felt this was inconceivable and extremely shocked.
How could he have been defeated? Moreover, he was defeated with a single sword strike, it was like a dream.
"Who the hell are you?" Xu Ling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pointed his sword at Chen Zong, a fierce expression filling his face.
"Senior Brother Xu, are you forgetful?" Chen Zong smiled faintly and took a step forward, approaching Xu Ling step by step. Every step he took caused Xu Ling's eyelids to twitch slightly and his chest to tighten.
It was as if Chen Zong's every step was stepping on Xu Ling's heart, gradually making it difficult for him to breathe.
Xu Ling couldn't help but cover his chest and stagger back a few steps before he felt better. However, as Chen Zong approached step by step, the stifling feeling came again, making it increasingly difficult for him to breathe. He felt as if there were double images in front of him, and his consciousness became blurry.
Other than his Qi Cultivation being superior to Chen Zong, Xu Ling couldn't compare with Chen Zong in any other aspect. Facing the impact of Chen Zong's momentum, he was even more unable to resist.
Chen Zong raised his foot, stepped out, and landed.
There was a thump, like the beating of a drum.
This step should have been very powerful, and the ground should have shattered in an instant. However, when the foot landed, the ground was intact, but there were ripples spreading out.
With a cry, Xu Ling felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, dying the ground red. Immediately, Xu Ling only felt that his vision turned black, and his consciousness kept spinning, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss and was completely plunged into darkness. His whole body swayed, and he suddenly fell backward.
