All the Heavenly Sword Sect was in craze upon hearing Man Jiankuang's voice.
"Oh my God, it's Senior Man Jiankuang!
"Senior Man Jiankuang came out of seclusion."
"Yeah, it's Senior Man Jiankuang. He's one of the top five among our inner disciples. This time, he's going to be able to defeat this bastard!"
"Haha, of course, Senior Brother Man Jiankuang was already at the Eighth Level of the Qi-Gathering Realm the last time he went into seclusion. This time, his strength has improved even more. I think he's already at the peak of the Qi-Gathering Realm."
"Where is that disciple from the Hundred Beasts Sect just now? He still dares to boast in front of our Heavenly Sword Sect. This time, Senior Man Jiankuang will beat them all out."
...
The discussion among the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect gradually became noisy as if the match this time would defeat Li Mu.
"Man Jiankuang is not bad."
Chen Xuanfeng, who was on the platform of the training hall, nodded. But soon, he saw Huangfu Longdou, who was in front of Man Jiankuang.
After all, Huangfu Longdou's bald head was too obvious in the crowd.
He could not help but shake his head, slightly displeased with Huangfu Longdou's action of blocking Man Jiankuang.
"This Huangfu Longdou doesn't even know to give way to Man Jiankuang. He is not observant enough. I would have let him stay at Thinking Cliff If I had known that earlier and wouldn't have let him out."
However, soon, Man Jiankuang also slowly walked onto the arena under Chen Xuanfeng's gaze.
"I originally wouldn't have made a move, because you, a Seventh Level Qi-Gathering Realm, aren't worthy of being my opponent. It's just that I don't like your arrogant attitude. You merely defeated a second-rate inner disciple, yet you're swaggering around like this," Man Jiankuang said indifferently.
"Well said! Get this bastard out of there!"
"Do you think that there's no one else in our Heavenly Sword Sect?"
"Yes, Man Jiankuang has already reached the peak of the Qi-Gathering Realm and is now half a step into the Void Spirit Realm. He will be able to defeat this Li Mu with the Overlord Sword Technique that he cultivates. Moreover, he will only need ten moves at most to defeat his opponent."
"Ten moves? You think too highly of this Li Mu. Senior Man will be able to win in five moves at most."
Man Jiankuang's aura was completely unleashed as the crowd discussed, and his clothes began to flutter. It was as if a violent whirlwind had appeared around his body.
Man Jiankuang raised his eyes and said indifferently, "Li Mu, remember this well. The sword technique that you'll lose to is my Overlord Sword Technique!"
"I hope your strength is as great as your arrogance."
A tint of yellow light appeared in Li Mu's eyes as he said indifferently.
He did not feel any pressure, as if he was facing an ordinary person when he was facing an opponent that was several levels higher than him.
Meanwhile, Li Zaiye, who was on the Xuan stage, also looked at ease.
He muttered, "A half-step Void Spirit Realm cultivator dares to boast shamelessly in front of a warrior who has cultivated the Demonic Beast Body.".
The Demonic Beast Body that Li Zaiye spoke of was a kind of powerful physique, able to display several times its powerful strength.
The mysterious cultivation technique was the divine ability of the Ten Thousand Beast Demon Emperor. It could be ranked 973 on the Divine Ability Rankings.
One had to know that this was the divine ability of an emperor-level expert.
It was something that he had dug up with great difficulty in the ancient ruins.
He wouldn't have allowed his son, Li Mu, to cultivate it if it wasn't because he was too old and couldn't cultivate.
The tournament between Man Jiankuang and Li Mu had already begun.
Just as both of them finish speaking.
Li Mu was still as calm as ever, standing in his original spot without moving.
On the other side, Man Jiankuang's body directly exploded, rushing towards Li Mu like a gust of wind. His body constantly shifted its direction as he moved rapidly.
Sometimes left, sometimes right, and the speed of his movement also became faster and faster. A large number of indiscernible shadows and circles of terrifying whirlwinds appeared in everyone's view.
"Die!"
"Overlord Army Slash!"
Man Jiankuang raised his large sword that was the size of a door and directly flew over. After that, a cold sword aura appeared out of thin air on his large sword.
It was like a violent wind, blowing the people at the competition until they screamed.
Li Mu was not afraid when he saw that, but rather happy.
The spiritual energy all over his body trembled, and a ball of golden spiritual energy covered his body, as majestic as a golden armor.
Then, he clenched his fist and directly rushed forward under everyone's shocked eyes.
"Beast Demon Fist!"
Boom!
The two ultimate moves collided, and the sound of an ear-splitting explosion was like thunder. A terrifying shock wave spread wildly in all directions from where the spiritual energy of the two people collided.
A large area of the floor cracked like a turtle shell with a series of cracking sounds.
A figure flew out like a cannonball and then crashed into a rock at the side at the center of the vibration of the profound energy.
With a bang.
The huge rock immediately trembled, and countless tiny cracks quickly appeared on the rock.
The person who crashed into the rock fell.
Then, he fell to the ground, with his body covered in blood, and he was unconscious.
And that person was Man Jiankuang!
The entire training hall instantly fell into a deathly silence. Every disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect opened their eyes wide, and for a long time, no one made a sound.
Then, there was a gulp.
Everyone at the scene gulped at the same time.
But they still felt that their mouths were dry.
That was the fifth in the inner sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect, yet he was unable to defeat Li Mu in a single move.
Man Jiankuang was ranked fifth among the inner disciples.
Although Li Mu's talent could not compare to that freak from the greenland, it was not too far away.
Perhaps it was enough to be compared to Wan Zhentian from the Spiritual Array Sect and Fen Tianjue from the Raging Flame Sect.
The elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect were all in a daze because they understood Man Jiankuang's strength the most.
However, he was still defeated despite his ability. Moreover, he was defeated by someone whose ability was lower than his.
The disciples of the sword sect by the side were also greatly shocked.
Wouldn't that mean that the only ones who had a chance of defeating Li Mu were the top four seniors of the inner disciples if even Senior Man Jiankuang was defeated?
However, they were all in secluded cultivation right now, preparing for the next Qingzhou Grand Competition. They were all absent.
What should they do?
The group of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, their minds in a mess.
At this moment, Li Mu, who was standing in the arena, frowned slightly, and a trace of blood-colored Demonic Qi appeared in his eyes.
That was the side effect of using the demonic beast body.
It would make him feel like the blood of a beast was going against his heart every time he used this physique.
It made him full of fighting spirit.
Therefore, he wanted to fight at that moment.
"The second match has ended. Let's quickly proceed to the third match."
Li Mu shouted upon seeing that the Heavenly Sword Sect's disciples didn't even dare to breathe loudly, "Are you Heavenly Sword Sect's disciples all cowards? I'll choose my opponent if you don't even dare to fight."
He swept his gaze over the surrounding people before casually pointing his finger at a baldy and said, "I'll choose you then. Little baldy, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Everyone's gaze turned towards the direction of his finger. The person pointed was none other than Huangfu Longdou.
What shocked them was that Huangfu Longdou directly walked towards the arena after stunning for a second.
