Free Web NovelLooking at Bai Jinghong standing in the hall, the atmosphere became abuzz with discussions.
Those who hadn't reached the Guan Shen Realm knew their limits and naturally wouldn't step forward to make a fool of themselves, while the young Prodigies with some strength were all unwilling to be the first to test Bai Jinghong's depth.
The atmosphere was heavy, and everyone whispered, pushing the responsibility onto each other.
"No one among the Prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Region dares to spar with me?"
"Then the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm will belong to my Sword City."
Bai Jinghong said lightly, with his hands behind his back.
"You're being too overbearing. This Secret Realm is inherently ownerless."
"Why should we follow your rules?"
The great hall became noisy, filled with complaints.
Bai Jinghong scanned the room, a slight curve to his lips:
"In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the strong are respected."
"Therefore, my rules are the rules. Do you understand?"
As his words echoed, the excited atmosphere of the crowd momentarily froze.
The atmosphere quieted down.
Except for....
"Let's eat the watermelon first. Don't eat it all; leave a little for ice cream."
"Watermelon flavored?"
"Mm, shaped like Patrick. I'll cut the watermelon first."
Li Mo said, taking out a watermelon he had just picked from the field, then pulling out the Chixiao Sword, gesturing with it before plunging it in.
He noticed the gazes beside him and saw that it was Luo Yu and Luo Yao, the siblings. The former looked a bit speechless, while the latter's eyes were glued to the watermelon.
"Do you two want some?"
Xiao Li was quite hospitable.
Everyone: "?"
Bai Jinghong: "?"
I'm here challenging heroes with my sword, and you're there cutting watermelon.
Don't I need Face?
He was about to speak.
"Your Bai Jinghong's sword is sharp, but my Gangdou Sect's great halberd is not dull either!"
"I'll give it a try!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Tie Qi slammed the table and stood up.
A long halberd appeared in his hand, gleaming with cold light.
"Perfect!"
Bai Jinghong could only retract his gaze.
The two went back and forth, their Divine Intentions clashing, and finally, they engaged in combat.
With the first sword, Tie Qi stumbled back, his Divine Power no match for the sword's edge. With the second sword, a wave-like sword swept his lower body, yet he didn't dodge...
His upper body suddenly separated from his lower body, and he brought his great halberd down, forcing Bai Jinghong to defend.
Bai Jinghong clearly hadn't expected that the opponent, who was already half-crippled, would have this move of 'separate action'.
He was about to pursue, but Tie Qi laughed:
"Three moves are over."
Bai Jinghong: "....."
He withdrew his sword with a dark expression.
Although Tie Qi had taken three sword strikes, everyone present was shocked. Even Tie Qi, who was already very powerful in their eyes as a Guan Shen Realm practitioner, was forced to resort to trickery.
The Qianlong Ranking Prodigies are too strong.
"Hiss....."
Everyone gasped.
"Hiss....."
Xiao Li took a bite of watermelon, so delicious that he gasped.
Then he handed the watermelon to Ying Bing and the Luo Yu siblings.
Truly, melon-eating spectators.
"You....."
Bai Jinghong narrowed his eyes, about to speak.
"I'll also come to experience Your Excellency's brilliant moves!"
Luo Yu took a bite of watermelon and stepped forward.
This was the Burning Jade Forest's manor.
To show off in front of him, the host, had he asked him?
He shook his long sword, and sword light gathered as he recited:
"Flying down three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling from the Nine Heavens!"
As his words fell, a river-like sword light swept forth.
This was the Burning Jade Forest's unique skill, the Poetic Sword Art, which could be amplified by a scholar's Concept. Each poem was a sword art.
"Hmph, how flashy."
Bai Jinghong snorted coldly.
Although the opponent had just entered the Guan Shen Realm, he put away his contempt and struck with his sword like a fleeting shadow.
In an instant, the Concept of the poem was completely shattered.
He was about to raise his hand to strike down Luo Yu's sword.
"Good!"
"So cool, Brother Luo."
The melon-eating spectator, Xiao Li, clapped vigorously.
Whether learning this stuff made one strong was debatable, but the level of dashingness was definitely maximized. It seemed the Disciples of the Burning Jade Forest were all masters of showing off in front of others.
Wanted to learn.
Opportunity is fleeting.
In just that short moment, the poetic Concept was actually replenished by Luo Yu.
The result was.
Luo Yu could originally only take two sword strikes, but in the end, he actually managed to take three. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Your three sword strikes were not bad."
"But, you still need to practice."
Luo Yu was drenched in sweat, but his Face was full of arrogance.
He raised his hand to retrieve the sword that had been struck down, then flicked his sleeves and returned to eat watermelon, emphasizing that he didn't take away a single cloud.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Luo, you successfully took three sword strikes."
Li Mo smiled and praised him.
The Disciples of the Burning Jade Forest also joined in, showering him with praise.
The Jianghu heroes present disliked Bai Jinghong's arrogance; comparatively, Luo Yu was much better, and he was the host here, so praising him was definitely not wrong.
Thus, everyone cheered and praised Luo Yu.
The advantage of being on home ground was evident here.
"?"
Bai Jinghong's Face twitched, turning red.
No, you almost didn't even take three sword strikes, so why are you so smug?
How could it be that he clearly won, yet felt worse than if he had lost?
"Hmph!"
A cold snort, and an invisible yet sharp Sword Intent swept through the hall.
Although he hadn't yet broken through to the Inner Scenery Realm, he could already project Sword Qi, making him appear like a sharp sword.
This was something he had gained from observing the God Sword within his sect. Everyone in the hall felt as if a sharp blade hung over their heads.
"You, come take three of my sword strikes!"
He pointed directly at Li Mo's table.
But at this moment.
Ying Bing had just finished a slice of watermelon and raised her head.
The young girl frowned slightly:
"Me?"
Everyone looked at each other.
A Guan Shen Realm expert calling out an Inner Breath Realm practitioner by name?
This was perhaps too much bullying.
Ying Bing lowered her gaze for a few seconds, then dipped her jade finger into the teacup again.
"What this Young Master meant was..."
Bai Jinghong was about to say something.
But before he could finish, a drop of water suddenly flew out.
It was a stunning sight that many people had never witnessed in their entire lives.
Though it was only a drop of water, it carried an incomparably domineering Sword Qi, and with the enhancement of two layers of Inner Breath, it instantly flew before his eyes.
Bai Jinghong was greatly alarmed. He surged his entire body's Sword Qi, like a rushing river.
In terms of quantity, the two were a river and a drop of water.
But it was just a single drop of water that devastatingly pierced through the river, going against the current and annihilating it completely.
Crack!—
The water drop struck the tip of the sword.
Instead, the long sword flew backward, embedding itself in the pillar.
This time, the main hall was truly quiet.
Those who had witnessed that sword strike felt as if they were dreaming; such a sword seemed unreal.
Moreover, Ying Bing hadn't even drawn her sword; just a drop of tea water had caused the Qianlong Ranking Prodigy to be defeated.
Bai Jinghong stood stunned in place, even forgetting to pick up his sword.
He was questioning life itself.
And the old man behind him had a strong glint in his eyes.
"If you hadn't used Sword Qi, you would have lost slower."
Ying Bing spoke indifferently.
Many of those present didn't understand the meaning of that sentence.
"Cough, indeed."
Li Mo nodded, coughing lightly.
If he had genuinely used his Realm and techniques, Bai Jinghong wouldn't have been defeated in one move.
Sword Qi is born from Concept.
My friend, why compare anything else, but you chose to compare your Concept with the future Phoenix Heavenly Empress?
Isn't that just Xue Lao eating a Mystic Core and going to the latrine?
Speaking of which, Ice Cube probably didn't intentionally show off, but when she said that sentence, why did it feel like a tingling sensation went straight to the top of my head?
The flavor was just right.
"The next Qianlong Ranking, I'm afraid, is going to change dramatically."
"Tsk tsk, a sixteen-year-old on the Qianlong Ranking, has there ever been such a Prodigy in the Eastern Wasteland Region?"
"I'm afraid she won't just make the list; Bai Jinghong is eighty-ninth, and she defeated him in one move. She's at least in the top fifty."
"If Bai Jinghong hadn't used Sword Qi, he might not have lost so badly, but even with all his techniques, he couldn't have matched her."
"If the Opportunity of this Blood Phoenix Secret Realm falls to her again....."
After a period of silence, the crowd instantly erupted, boiling over.
The Prodigies on the Qianlong Ranking were capable of fighting above their Realm, yet today, one of them was defeated by someone above their Realm.
How formidable must the young girl before them be?
At the age of sixteen, not to mention the Eastern Wasteland Region, such a feat was unprecedented even in the Central Divine Continent.
Bai Jinghong had just declared that no Prodigy in the Eastern Wasteland Region dared to spar with him, and that in the Nine /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Heavens and Ten Earths, the strong were respected, only to suffer such a crushing defeat.
The so-called rules of Sword City were naturally discarded by everyone like farts.
Many people wanted to approach Ying Bing and greet her.
But her Aura, as clear as a cold moon, was too domineering; for a moment, no one dared to step forward.
"The young man beside her is...."
"That's Li Mo. He's also a Mystic Weapon Master and is known as one of the Qingyuan Sect's Twin Prodigies along with Ying Bing."
"This..... the Qingyuan Sect can't possibly produce two such monstrous Sword Dao Prodigies, can it?"
"I know him! He's Li Daxian. The largest charity hall in Ziyang Prefecture was opened by him. I heard he's a really good person."
"I know him too! I heard this Li Zhenchuan is naturally amiable and even invited Outer Sect Disciples to Fanghua House for fun."
"Holy crap, this guy's someone you can hang out with!"
Quite a few people actually recognized our Li Daxian.
There was no other way; more and more people had received aid from Li Mo, and word of mouth spread.
As a result, Xiao Li's reputation was exceptionally solid.
"It seems he's listed alongside Ying Bing because of his good character."
"What are they doing?"
"They're dipping tea in water and drawing on the table. Are they perhaps communicating about the Sword Dao in this way?"
....
"This is how you draw Patrick."
Li Mo looked at the starfish on the table, then drew a square with holes:
"This is SpongeBob."
"....."
Ying Bing looked at the young man's serious expression and thought he was very childish.
But she still nodded gently.
"Okay, let's do it like that."
Who told her she still owed him a favor?
Besides, she didn't believe she couldn't make delicious food.
Crack!—
At this moment, suddenly, thunder roared outside.
A Burning Jade Forest Disciple stumbled in.
"Something big has happened!"
"Yin Huacheng has been killed!"
