...
Deng Yue looked at his chest in disbelief below the ring of Prodigy's Arena.
Bright red blood kept flowing out.
His pale ribs broke into pieces!
What was even more terrifying was...
He could feel the scorching sword spirit coursing through his body.
His entire body was trembling madly, and the scene from earlier kept repeating in his mind.
...
That sword strike was unbelievable!
...
It was more than just stunning!
It changed Deng Yue's understanding of sword technique!
Just as Deng Yue's Yimu Qi Capture had successfully captured his opponent, he had thought he would win the battle. However, he saw that Han Li's eyes suddenly became empty and dazed in the blink of an eye!
Immediately after, a sharp and smooth sword Qi shot out from Han Li's hand.
He had torn apart the restrictions of Yimu Qi Capture just with one touch!
Deng Yue didn't even have the chance to react and was instantly sent flying off the stage!
Of course, his opponent had been merciful to him!
...
"Sir, were you playing me?" Deng Yue looked at the pair of cold eyes and asked frustratedly.
However, his opponent didn't say anything nor even bother to look at him!
Deng Yue was down in the dumps.
He recalled those clumsy and ridiculous sword moves and felt even worse. After coughing up blood, he fainted!
The disciples of the Huaqing Sect quickly came to take him away.
A core disciple of the Black Frost Demonic Sect was hiding in the bushes not far away.
However, he didn't take the opportunity to attack.
Instead, he looked at the indifferent figure on the ring with a gaze similar to Deng Yue's.
"I would be heartbroken if I were him!"
The demon sect core disciple thought, "Why did he give him hope when there is none? This style is like someone from my sect... Was he the reincarnation of the demon ancestor that the Blue Sky Demonic Sect worships? "
...
All the Huaqing Sect disciples were silent under a pine tree.
When the battle began, they had been all confused with Wei Bujuan's random sword technique.
"Sect master, I don't know what to learn from his sword technique!"
However, after witnessing the stunning sword strike, they changed their mind.
"Sect master, I really can't learn this sword technique..."
...
Xuan Yangzi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Any thoughts?"
Everyone muttered and couldn't say anything making sense.
Li Yinghua put down her sword and answered, "I don't understand anything!"
Xuan Yangzi nodded.
"Your are not powerful yet, so it's normal that you can't understand it!"
"We can't be careless still. I'll send someone to take care of Deng Yue, and you all can go and challenge the others. Do not enter Han Li's ring!"
"You can only observe and learn from his skills but not challenge him, understand? "
Everyone nodded.
Xuan Yangzi quickly left the crowd.
He used Aurora Escape Technique and arrived at a remote and isolated place.
After a long while, Xuan Yangzi suddenly asked, "Did you understand anything of the battle?"
A wisp of black Qi suddenly appeared in the open space before him and turned into a human.
He could vaguely see the man's face.
It was Wan Chunfeng, the sect master of the Black Frost Demonic Sect!
...
"My swaord dao is much higher than yours. Of course, I can understand it!"
Wan Chunfeng smiled playfully, "Don't tell me you didn't understand anything!"
Xuan Yangzi's expression froze for a moment, and he laughed.
"How is that possible? Other than that amazing sword move that everyone could understand, I already memorized every move he made!"
The two of them looked at each other and showed mysterious smiles.
Wan Chunfeng suddenly said in a low voice, "Do you still want to continue fighting?!"
"Many of my disciples aren't happy with the situation, and I may be unable to control them if it keeps going like this!"
"I've done everything I can. What happened to Deng Chan was an accident... You should give me an explanation!"
Xuan Yangzi sighed and said, "I was hoping fighting agasint the Black Frost Demonic Sect's diciples to train my core disciples, but I didn't expect the situation to end up like this!"
"I don't blame you for what happened to Deng Chan. That was his destiny, but Yinghua... She still needs more challenges!"
Wan Chunfeng said disdainfully, "You're overestimating Born Killer Star and stay by her side all the time. Have you ever cared about the other disciples in the sect?"
"If what happened to Deng Chan was an accident, what about Qiu Jinyu?"
"Forth Senior Brother, don't forget what the master said when he entrusted the Huaqing Sect to you!"
Xuan Yangzi's face turned grim, but he didn't say anything.
After a while, he muttered, "After Prodigy's Arena, we'll find an excuse to retreat. You still have to pay attention to your self-cultivation in the demonic sect. Although the hundred-year plan of the Huaqing Sect relies on your sacrifice, don't lose yourself there..."
Wan Chunfeng sneered and said, "Now you talk like a real master of a righteous sect, huh?"
He mocked Xuan Yangzi and suddenly asked in a wry tone, "Fourth Senior Brother, do you think there's a way back for me?"
Xuan Yangzi turned silent again.
"Hahaha..." Wan Chunfeng chuckled and gradually disappeared.
