And the Sect Masters, having witnessed the moment Xu Sheng wiped away the blood, showed flashes of surprise on their faces...
They had thought Ling Yue hadn't injured Li Yan at all, but now it seemed the other party had concealed it very well!
The Luo Yun Sect's Sect Master said leisurely, "It seems that everyone has noticed it by now, our Luoyun Sect's disciple, though he practices body cultivation, is not invulnerable everywhere..."
Although he was pointing out Li Yan's weaknesses, one could faintly sense an air of Versailles in his words...
The Water Ripple Sect Master said sarcastically, "Tch, only knows how to stupidly practice body cultivation, such a path in cultivation won't take him far!"
Since it was body cultivation, he would certainly be lacking in spiritual power, which is also why there are many cultivators with high cultivation levels but few body cultivators!
The Starfall Sect Master mocked mercilessly, "I think you're just sour because you can't eat the grapes, saying they're sour. Even if his cultivation doesn't improve much in the future, at least he is invincible among his peers!"
This straightforward mockery made the Tian Lian Sect's Sect Master shout angrily, "What did you say??"
Having heard this, Luo Yun spoke with a smile, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'm sure the Starfall Sect Master is just joking! Although the Water Ripple Sect doesn't have much talent, it can surely hold on for a few more years!"
Listening to these even more damaging words, the Water Ripple Sect Master clenched his palm tightly, his angry gaze fixed on Luo Yun, "This guy..."
If it weren't for the balance of power, he would have already made his move! How could it be their turn to be arrogant!
...
Ling Yue, with a complex expression, walked back to the Tianlong Sect's team. When she felt the gazes of Lin Moxue, Xu Sheng, and the other Tianlong Sect disciples...
She subconsciously lowered her head...
With a somewhat disheartened tone she said, "Mo Xue, Xu Sheng, and everyone, I lost."
She had lost, and lost thoroughly at that!
The opponent just stood there and let her attack without winning, the psychological blow was enormous!
Lin Moxue's beautiful eyes flickered a few times; she went closer to her and whispered comfortingly, "It's okay, Ling Yue, you did really well! And just now, I saw that Li Yan was actually injured! But he quickly wiped away the bloodstain!"
At least Ling Yue made her opponent cough up blood, unlike herself, who got ruthlessly eliminated within minutes by several disciples...
Hearing these words, Ling Yue's dim cheeks brightened slightly, and she said doubtfully, "Really? Mo Xue, you're not just trying to comfort me, are you?"
Lin Moxue was slightly taken aback, coughed and pointed to Xu Sheng, and said, "Cough, it's certainly true, if you don't believe me, ask Xu Sheng!"
After saying this, she gave Xu Sheng a look...
Hearing this, Xu Sheng glanced at Ling Yue's pitiable eyes and reassured softly, "Ling Yue, what Mo Xue said is indeed true, though it seems he was only lightly injured."
After hearing the response, Ling Yue inwardly "phew" with relief.
So he was still lightly injured, was he...
In an instant, her heavy heart felt much better...
The Tianlong Sect disciples from behind were also quick to comfort her, saying, "Disciple Ling Yue, don't be disheartened. That Li Yan was just bullying you with his cultivation level!"
"That's right, that's right, if you, Disciple Ling Yue, had also reached the Earth Immortal Realm, you could definitely beat him so badly that his parents wouldn't recognize him!"
"Yes, absolutely! Disciple Ling Yue is the best!"
Ling Yue's beautiful eyes looked at them, and she showed a tender smile, saying, "Thank you, everyone!"
Just then, another voice rang out...
"Starfall Sect's Ye Peng and Water Ripple Sect's Huo Ming, please come to the duel area. The winner will face off against Li Yan!"
...
After about half an hour, Ye Peng finally defeated Huo Ming, becoming the victor of this round...
Subsequently, Ye Peng was given half an hour to recover his spiritual power before being arranged to battle the previous winner, Li Yan...
The atmosphere suddenly became tense and charged...
Ye Peng glanced at Li Yan's bronze skin and said coldly, "Brother Li, your defenses can't stop my sword!"
"A mere musclehead who practices body cultivation, how could you possibly defeat me!"
Li Yan, detecting the disdain in that voice, furrowed his brows and fearlessly responded, "Really? Well, we won't know unless we try!"
The next moment, as soon as the words "Begin the duel" rang out...
Both of their figures burst forth, charging at each other, and in the blink of an eye, they began exchanging blows...
Temporarily, they seemed evenly matched!
After carefully observing for a while, Lin Moxue turned to Xu Sheng and asked, "Xu Sheng, who do you think will win between them?"
Upon hearing this, with a flicker of dark light in his ink-colored eyes, Xu Sheng chuckled and said, "No matter which of the two wins, neither is a match for me!"
His words were filled with strong confidence...
Lin Moxue pursed her lips and pouted, "Tsk, when did you become so arrogant? That Li Yan's defense isn't so easy to break, but if he wins, we must get justice for Ling Yue!"
"You think so, right? Ling Yue?"
After saying this, she turned to look at Ling Yue, who was intently watching the fight...
When Ling Yue heard Lin Moxue calling out to her, she immediately snapped back to reality, her face filled with bewilderment as she said, "Umm! That should be the case?"
Lin Moxue "…"
...
On the field!
Ye Peng gritted his teeth, and with a fierce sword strike, sent Li Yan flying away, then with a grim face said, "Your skin really does have astonishing defensive power, no wonder that female disciple couldn't injure you at all!"
Using ordinary martial techniques was utterly ineffective against Li Yan, leaving only shallow sword marks!
Li Yan took a cautious look at the sword marks on his arm and warned, "Speak for yourself!"
This guy's strength is probably not that simple!
Especially his agile movements made it difficult to hit him, turning himself into a moving target...
Ye Peng's eyes turned cold, "Even so, you don't actually think I can't break through your defense, do you? Earth-grade Mid-tier Martial Technique, Spirit Sword Technique!!"
He tossed his personal sword into the sky, and the spiritual power within him erupted suddenly, conjuring countless illusory spirit swords!
Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "An attack of this level can't break my defense! Earth Grade Low-Grade Martial Skill, Immovable Golden Body!!"
As the words fell, his body burst into dazzling light, turning the surroundings into a golden hue...
His defenses once again received a terrifying boost; his fully protruding veins were brimming with a sense of explosion...
Hearing this, Ye Peng revealed another eerie smile, "You say I can't break through your defense?"
He swung his arm, and the sky was filled with spirit swords raining down on Li Yan...
"Bang, bang, bang!!"
Striking against the latter's body which was solid as a rock, they were all obliterated...
At first glance, such damage seemed merely like scraping!
Li Yan, full of scorn, said, "If this is your best shot, it's impossible to penetrate my defenses."
But as more and more spirit swords bombarded his body, his complexion underwent a sudden and drastic change...
After the spirit swords shattered, they were actually constantly weakening his defenses!!
