Chapter 163

Watching Wang Ming faint dead on the spot, everyone present had their eyelids twitching wildly.

You're already like this, and you still insist on shamelessly licking this?

Not to mention the spectators, as the Luo Xia Sect Sect Master, Su Luoxing's teeth were practically grinding, utterly embarrassing.

"Sect Master Su, did I win?"

At that moment, the junior sister's soft, sweet voice came over; hearing it, Su Luoxing's face turned ashen, and he waved his hand impatiently.

"Here."

All together, two bottles of fifth-grade pills, one bottle of sixth-grade pills, and one sixth-grade spiritual fruit, the monkey-face fruit—it can be said to be extremely generous.

Upon receiving the reward, the junior sister gave a sweet smile and said.

"Thank you, Sect Master Su."

Victorious without arrogance, truly displaying the bearing of a great sect—yet Su Luoxing's mouth twitched wildly, and he simply ignored it.

On the contrary, Qi Xiong, seated on the high platform, was in high spirits and laughed loudly.

"Old Monster Su, I accept your defeat."

"Hmph, it's just one match; what does it prove?"

After losing face in the first match, Su Luoxing refused to let it go, yet the next two matches were still won by Jade Maiden Peak, and needless to say, Luo Xia Sect lost three in a row.

After the three matches ended, the many strong individuals present had completely changed their minds.

Before, everyone thought Luo Xia Sect and Dao Yi Sect were on par, after all, everyone is an inner disciple.

But now it seems the gap is quite large.

"As expected of Dao Yi Sect, the strength of its disciples is absolutely unrivaled among the younger generation of Dongzhou."

"Yeah, I originally thought there would be a fierce showdown, but now it seems Luo Xia Sect just isn't up to it."

"In my view, from now on Dao Yi Sect will stand alone at the top, while the other three great sects will be slightly weaker."

Not to mention them, even the other inner disciples and peak masters of the various peaks of Dao Yi Sect now have strange expressions.

Blood Blade Peak, Overlord Spear Peak—their inner disciples all looked puzzled at Zhao Rou and the other girls.

"Were they this strong before?"

"No, I previously sparred with them, and they were definitely not this strong."

"Then it's strange—how did they suddenly become this strong?"

"I don't know; do you think it might be related to recent events?"

"Recent events?"

"It's that the Jade Maiden Peak disciples have been frantically earning sect points, chopping down more than half of the black ironwood forest in the rear mountains—you didn't know?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"I told you to go out and move around more instead of just staying in seclusion all day; such a big matter has spread throughout the sect, and even the major cultivation holy lands have been monopolized by the Jade Maiden Peak disciples."

"Is that true or false?"

"If you don't believe me, go try it yourself—apart from anything else, if you can get into the gravity chamber, I'll consider you impressive."

Their expressions completely changed; aside from shock and doubt, there was more delight, after all, they are all Dao Yi Sect disciples, and when facing outsiders, they certainly present a united front.

The Jade Maiden Peak disciples won so splendidly, they too share in the glory.

Qi Xiong, seated on the high platform, was now overjoyed; the frustration that had built up over many days finally found release at this moment.

His smile never faded, and he even put on an act of scolding Bai Hua Xianzi.

"Junior Sister Bai Hua, we are all part of the righteous alliance; how can you strike so heavily? Look at what you've done to these Luo Xia Sect disciples."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Su Luoxing and said.

"Old Monster Su, I'm really sorry; my Dao Yi Sect disciples momentarily lost control, but rest assured, I will have my sect take responsibility for their healing, haha."

Looking at Qi Xiong's smug expression, Su Luoxing gritted his teeth, turned his head, and gave a glance to one of the disciples, who also gave a slight nod.

He then rose and came to the open space in the center, without even glancing at the other peaks, and directly addressed the Jade Maiden Peak crowd.

"I am Zhao Xin; please, junior sisters, give me your guidance."

The target was clear—Jade Maiden Peak—and naturally they would not shy away; with such a good opportunity, if they couldn't seize it, how could they possibly refuse?

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhong Ling rose to his feet.

"Master, disciple requests to fight."

"Hmm, go."

Bai Hua Xianzi nodded mutteringly; to be honest, at this moment her head was also buzzing.

She could hardly make sense of these few disciples of hers.

As Shīzūn, she naturally knew her disciples' abilities like the back of her hand, but having only been away for a month or so, how could their strength have changed this much?

Moreover, their fighting style seems different from before, doesn't it?

But now is not the occasion to say these things; she can only wait until they return to Jade Maiden Peak to discuss them.

Having received Shīzūn's approval, Zhong Ling stepped forward and, smiling, cupped his fists toward Zhao Xin.

"Please, senior brother, give me your guidance..............."

Before Zhong Ling could finish speaking, Zhao Xin directly slashed out with a knife, the blade bearing down on Zhong Ling.

Seeing this, the Dao Yi Sect members present all furrowed their brows, and some disciples shouted angrily.

"Despicable."

We had agreed to a friendly exchange, yet this guy launched a sneak attack; if it were a life-or-death fight, that would naturally be fine, but this is a sparring match—using such means is truly somewhat despicable.

It seems Luo Xia Sect is also desperate for a win, urgently needing a victory.

Bai Hua Xianzi had already readied herself to act, after all, with no defenses, and given that Zhao Xin's cultivation is not weak, being on par with Zhong Ling, a sneak attack stood a good chance of succeeding.

Everyone was worried, but just as Zhao Xin drew his blade, Zhong Ling was equally quick, thrusting out with his sword.

At first glance, it seemed as if both of them intended to ambush the opponent, only they happened to run into each other.

For a moment, the worried members of the Dao Yi Sect wore strange expressions.

Could it be that Junior Sister Zhong Ling also intended to ambush?

Never mind them; as Zhao Xin, I'm completely bewildered—damn, I was supposed to be the one ambushing, so why did it turn out like this?

His blade slashed at Zhong Ling, while her sword thrust toward his abdomen; in this situation, wow, he ended up getting hurt first.

He was supposed to be the ambushers, yet he lost; facing this situation, Zhao Xin had no choice but to break off and retreat.

Having narrowly dodged the attack, he fixed his gaze on Zhong Ling, who still wore a smile.

This woman is off—how did she know I was going to ambush? And where did her long sword come from? The space ring showed no movement earlier; it seems to have come from her sleeve.

In her sleeve? Damn, you hid a long sword in your sleeve from the start?

No, no—this woman didn't sense my ambush; she was actually coming to ambush me.

The Luo Xia Sect had wanted to play dirty, but with three losses in a row they had to win this match, even if it meant using underhanded tactics—yet, wow, the Dao Yi Sect disciples were even dirtier than they were, simply outrageous.

Looking at Zhao Xin's wary expression, Zhong Ling chuckled and said.

"Senior Brother, you were trying to ambush me, weren't you?"

Hearing that, Zhao Xin's face darkened, and he replied irritably.

"We're even then."

"No, Junior Sister, this is a Dao Yi Sect technique I performed, the sleeve sword."

"A sleeve sword?" Hearing that, Zhao Xin froze, as did everyone present, and the other disciples of the Dao Yi Sect's various peaks were also stunned.
