“Still as arrogant as ever.”
Feng Qing He sneered.
The world believes that only the Academy is the true sanctuary of cultivation.
Any Academy disciple is bound to be stronger than others.
Today, he would take this opportunity to defeat Yuan Nong Bai, to prove to the world that the Academy is a relic of the past.
At the same time, he would promote his own sect.
He believed that his master would surely reward him handsomely for this!
Within Xunyang City, families are numerous, geniuses are countless, half of them choose the Xuan Tian Sword Sect, they are all a massive influx of fresh blood.
Enough to make a sect flourish for a hundred years, even a thousand!
“The duel, begin!”
The Wan Xiang Pavilion’s steward stepped out, his expression emotionless, his right hand raised high, then brought down with a heavy thud!
Boom!
In a flash, Yuan Nong Bai made his move.
The ground beneath his feet cracked.
He was as swift as thunder.
He soon arrived in front of Feng Qing He.
The wide-bladed sword in his hand felt like an ancient mountain, incredibly heavy, the moment it was raised, it gave one a sense of suffocation.
Once struck by it.
One would be split in two.
Feng Qing He remained expressionless, a cold look even appeared on his face.
He simply leaped back slightly, dodging the blade.
Then, the long sword on his back was unsheathed.
A dense array of sword shadows shot out.
The sharpness was overwhelming.
Yuan Nong Bai raised his eyebrows slightly.
He quickly sheathed his sword to block.
Clang clang clang!
For a moment, sparks flew.
The power of the sword shadows was so great that even he had to take several steps back.
“Xuanjie Zhongpin Jianfa,”
Yuan Nong Bai said slowly.
Both he and Feng Qing He were at the Ninth Stage of the True Aperture Realm, only such sword art could force him to retreat several steps.
He had already prepared for this in his heart.
Generally speaking, those who can make it to the Dragon List, have basically all cultivated Xuanjie Zhongpin martial arts.
The difference is the level of mastery.
However, what surprised him was that Feng Qing He’s sword art was not only already at the peak of mastery, but also among the Xuanjie Zhongpin, it should also be one of the superior ones.
Its power would definitely not be inferior to his sword art.
Even stronger.
“Surprised? There’s even more to surprise you!”
Feng Qing He’s lips curled into a smile.
The moment the words left his mouth.
Feng Qing He’s figure blurred, leaving behind countless afterimages.
In an instant, he closed in on Yuan Nong Bai.
“Not good!”
Yuan Nong Bai’s face changed instantly.
He didn’t expect Feng Qing He’s speed to be so fast.
This is definitely a very high-grade footwork!
At least Xuanjie Zhongpin!
Feng Qing He actually mastered two Xuanjie Zhongpin martial arts!
For True Aperture Realm martial artists, the difficulty of cultivating such martial arts is extremely high, so even a genius like him, had only cultivated one.
Feng Qing He’s talent is similar to his, how could he cultivate two!
For a moment, Yuan Nong Bai was filled with mixed emotions, his initial confidence was gone!
Boom!
Although Yuan Nong Bai barely managed to dodge, he was still struck by a sword on his arm.
Blood immediately poured out.
Feng Qing He, however, did not miss the opportunity to beat a dog that’s already down, using the advantage of his footwork to attack continuously, sword energy crisscrossed.
Finally——
Bang!
Yuan Nong Bai’s tall figure was knocked out of the square, landing heavily on the ground, near death.
Seeing this, the previously quiet surroundings immediately erupted in uproar.
Many people even showed a look of disbelief.
Yuan Nong Bai actually lost!
And he lost so quickly.
They thought it would be a thrilling battle!
Who would have thought it would be a complete one-sided affair!
Both at the Ninth Stage of the True Aperture Realm, Feng Qing He’s strength could be said to completely crush Yuan Nong Bai.
“The winner is, Xuan Tian Sword Sect——Feng Qing He!”
The Wan Xiang Pavilion’s steward announced emotionlessly.
“Academy disciples, nothing more.”
Feng Qing He flicked his right hand, his long sword returning to its scabbard on his back, his eyes swept over the crowd, his lips curled into a smile.
Upon hearing this.
Cheng Qing Man, the three of them were immediately furious.
In the imperial dynasty, the Academy has always been the sanctuary of cultivation, revered by all, the three of them, as Academy disciples, naturally share their fortunes.
They would not allow anyone to look down on them.
“So this is a top player on the Dragon List, rather unexpectedly strong.”
Luo Mu’s eyes narrowed.
He actually mastered two Xuanjie Zhongpin martial arts.
Although his footwork has not reached the peak, it also has reached the small accomplishment stage, otherwise he would not have been able to force Yuan Nong Bai to retreat steadily.
Just in terms of martial arts proficiency.
Feng Qing He and he are at the same level.
However, he has a stronger trump card, that is, Sword Intent!
The Daoist martial intent that all martial artists dream of!
Once the Sword Intent is unleashed, defeating Feng Qing He will only take one move.
Inside the restaurant.
Clang!
The wine cup fell to the ground and shattered.
The Yuan family patriarch’s face was extremely ugly.
He had confidently guaranteed, even placing bets with other patriarchs, that Yuan Nong Bai would defeat Feng Qing He within ten moves.
But who would have thought that reality was completely different!
“Victory and defeat are commonplace in battle, Yuan patriarch, there is no need to worry, relax.”
The Ninth Prince took a deep breath.
A smile appeared on his face.
As the royal family, he could not possibly be affected by such a trivial matter, even if he was, he would not show it in front of others.
“Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding, I will definitely urge my son to cultivate harder in the future.”
Hearing that the Ninth Prince did not blame him, the Yuan family patriarch was relieved.
But he regretted it deeply.
If he had known better, he wouldn’t have gotten involved.
He was simply picking up a rock to smash his own feet.
Mainly, he really didn’t expect that Feng Qing He was actually hiding his strength.
It was completely different from what was in the intelligence.
“Nowadays, sect forces are truly flourishing,”
The Ninth Prince slowly got up, his hands behind his back, “As Yuan patriarch said, your son and Feng Qing He’s talents are almost the same, but their strengths are quite different.”
“It seems that the Xuan Tian Sword Sect’s training of geniuses has already surpassed the Academy.”
“Under heaven, all lands are the king’s soil, within the borders of the land, all people are the king’s subjects,”
A patriarch stood up and said, “No matter how strong a sect is, there’s a limit, they must all submit to the rule of the imperial dynasty.”
Upon hearing this.
The Ninth Prince’s lips curled into a smile.
Although it was flattery, he loved hearing it.
“Sects.”
The Ninth Prince’s eyes flashed with a cold look.
“The trend of the world, the mighty fall, the Academy may no longer be the best choice, everyone can consider the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.”
On the square, Feng Qing He said loudly.
Upon hearing this, the uproar began again.
It is very rare to be so bold as to belittle the Academy.
But no one could refute it.
After all, Yuan Nong Bai was still lying on the ground, no, he was already getting up unsteadily.
However, he looked miserable, covered in blood-red sword marks.
“Damn it!”
Cheng Qing Man clenched her fists.
Anger appeared on her beautiful face.
Her father, even her ancestors, had basically all studied at the Academy, including her, so she has deep feelings for the Academy.
Now, hearing others insult it like this, she naturally couldn’t bear it.
But she is only at the Sixth Stage of the True Aperture Realm, not even Yuan Nong Bai was Feng Qing He’s opponent, let alone her.
