Chapter 1926: Chapter 1926: Void Sect
"Boom!"
Just as everyone was in confusion.
An astonishing surge of fist power suddenly erupted in the arena, a power that had already surpassed the Heaven and Earth Divine Fist Huangfu Ming had unleashed earlier.
The dust obscuring the view in the field was all shattered.
However.
When everyone could finally see the situation in the arena, they saw Huangfu Ming’s punch land on Yue Lintao’s body.
"Bam!"
Yue Lintao, as if hit by a heavy blow, flew backward in a crescent shape.
He smashed hard against the barrier, rolled to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning extremely pale.
"This..."
The sudden change left many dumbfounded.
How did it turn out like this all of a sudden?
Huangfu Ming looked at the embarrassed Yue Lintao on the ground with a grin, "Still want to continue fighting?"
Yue Lintao stood up from the ground, gritting his teeth, with traces of blood on them.
He stared sharply at Huangfu Ming, "You’re so insidious, you lured me into unleashing my strongest attack, but it was actually a strategy of mismatched competition."
The punch that hit Yue Lintao just now was the real Heaven and Earth Divine Fist!
So that’s how it is!
Everyone suddenly realized.
Huangfu Ming said, "Your words are wrong, what do you mean by insidious? This is called strategy, using tactics in battle. Isn’t that a normal thing?"
"You can also use strategy against me."
In other words, you call me insidious? Then show me your insidiousness?
If you can’t, don’t talk nonsense!
Yue Lintao’s face was extremely ugly.
He wanted to prove himself through this battle, but what was the result?
Played like a fool by Huangfu Ming.
Yue Lintao was extremely annoyed in his heart!
"Swish!"
He rushed towards Huangfu Ming, the words ’revenge’ almost manifesting in his eyes.
Huangfu Ming smirked, "You don’t believe in superstition?"
He was not afraid of Yue Lintao at all.
Lower cultivation doesn’t mean he would lose.
On the contrary, within the same realm, he had never been defeated, even the strongest Heavenly Pride of the Huangfu Family wasn’t his match.
Although Yue Lintao was also exceptionally gifted, comparing him to Ye Wutian, there was no doubt he fell far short.
Today, he was determined to win this face-off!
"Swoosh!"
Huangfu Ming’s steps were extremely agile, like a snake gliding, tracing what seemed to be a haphazard curve in mid-air.
But in reality, Huangfu Ming was deliberately bewildering Yue Lintao.
Qin Chen’s eyes flickered, "Yue Lintao is going to lose."
Lin Songyun asked curiously, "Why are you so sure?"
Though Yue Lintao was indeed at a disadvantage at the moment, that didn’t mean he would undoubtedly lose.
Qin Chen replied, "It’s simple, it’s a matter of mindset. Yue Lintao is already in an agitated state, while Huangfu Ming is not only extremely calm but also very adept at a flexible movement technique."
"Thus, defeating Yue Lintao is just a matter of time."
"Boom!"
Just as Qin Chen finished speaking, Yue Lintao’s body was sent flying again.
Qin Chen was absolutely right.
Yue Lintao’s heart was in complete chaos, not to mention being calm and thinking rationally, even his reaction speed had significantly decreased, all signs of an unstable state of mind.
"In this battle, our Saber Saint Cliff admits defeat."
Yuan Sha’s face was terribly grim as he immediately conceded to preserve a sliver of dignity for Yue Lintao.
"Conceding earlier, isn’t that better?"
Huangfu Ming contemptuously glanced at Yue Lintao and left gracefully.
Crowds from the Huangfu Family erupted with cheers, flooding the place with disparaging remarks about Saber Saint Cliff.
A nameless fury burned inside Yuan Sha.
Engaging in a duel without his consent, and ending up in such a state, could this outcome be any worse?
It was absolutely terrible!
Most critically, Yue Lintao’s defeat tarnished the reputation of Saber Saint Cliff!
Huangfu Xuanming waved to remove the barrier, smiling as he looked at Yuan Sha, "Brother Yoan, this battle showed me the elegance of Saber Saint Cliff’s disciples, truly lives up to their name."
"Although Huangfu Ming of our Huangfu Family won this battle, in my heart, your Sect’s disciple Yue Lintao is equally outstanding."
What he said was utter nonsense, even showing a hint of bragging.
But admittedly, he had the bragging rights.
A level lower, yet defeating Yue Lintao, and playing with Yue Lintao like a monkey, these were two extremes.
"Looks like Saber Saint Cliff is truly hopeless now."
Someone commented.
Yue Lintao hung his head low, he couldn’t even look up at Yuan Sha.
Tian Jiahan rushed to Yue Lintao’s side, "It’s okay, Lintao, though you lost, at least you’re better than those who don’t even dare to fight. Blame that guy! If it weren’t for him, this wouldn’t have happened!"
Tian Jiahan felt aggrieved whenever she thought of Qin Chen.
Somehow she attributed all her grievances to Qin Chen.
Yue Lintao also shot a fierce glare at Qin Chen, but at this time, he wouldn’t yet cause trouble for Qin Chen.
"So lively."
A sudden voice rose, and many turned to look.
"Void Sect, Huang Xuanzhong."
Someone recognized the leader and narrowed their eyes.
Void Sect.
One of the top-tier forces in Qian State, and Huang Xuanzhong was one of its top experts.
A whole group of elite disciples from the Void Sect followed him.
They had just watched the battle between Yue Lintao and Huangfu Ming firsthand from the sidelines.
Huang Xuanzhong smiled, looking at Yuan Sha, "Brother Yoan, since the duel is already underway, why not have another round? As before, winning or losing isn’t important, friendship comes first."
Many eyes flickered, was Huang Xuanzhong also going to humiliate Saber Saint Cliff?
Indeed, when the tiger falls, the dogs bully.
Yuan Sha’s face was so dark it was completely unreadable, when had Saber Saint Cliff fallen so low?
But, with even the strongest Yue Lintao defeated so badly, where would he find the confidence to send others to fight against the disciples of the Void Sect?
If they lost again, it would be truly disgraceful for Saber Saint Cliff, continuing last year’s saga into this year.
Lin Songyun said, "Should we go up and lend a hand?"
Qin Chen shook his head, "If he hadn’t looked down on us in the first place, I would help, but now there’s no need."
"However, the reputation of Saber Saint Cliff indeed cannot be sullied, but regaining face isn’t for now."
Qin Chen always treated others how they treated him.
Out of personal grievances, he disliked Yuan Sha, but based on his identity, he was a disciple of Saber Saint Cliff, and should speak up for Saber Saint Cliff.
However, there are many ways to restore honor, not necessarily by defeating the Huangfu Family and the Void Sect.
After all, everyone was here for the Dao God’s ceremony.
Huangfu Xuanming exaggeratedly said, "Brother Yoan, could one loss have already shattered your confidence? You’re a top-tier sect of Qian State, do you really lack confidence?"
