“Boom!”
The powerful blade beam suddenly collapsed. The spear beam treated it as nothing and blasted towards Zu Jinliang.
Zu Jinliang was extremely fast. He positioned his blade horizontally in front of him and shifted his body to the right. However, he was still struck by the spear beam, which hit his body along with the back of his blade. It shocked him into spitting out a large mouthful of blood, and his entire body was sent flying backwards.
Zu Jinliang from Tiansha Valley in Yangzhou was defeated!
“Next!” The same voice rang out again.
“Too arrogant!”
The strongest genius under twenty-five from Fenyang Sect in Yangzhou flew into a rage. Surging with rolling yang energy, he charged forward. An unparalleled sword beam slashed out immediately, carrying scorching power as it cut towards Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao swept his spear horizontally once more. An ordinary spear beam shot out, carrying the force to sweep away a thousand troops, shattering his opponent’s sword beam.
Then, it struck the Fenyang Sect genius, sending him flying.
This time, everyone was shocked.
Defeating four opponents with sweeping strikes, only two forces remained in Yangzhou’s third tier.
Could this Mu Haoran really be about to sweep through Yangzhou’s entire third tier?
“Moxu Sect, Zhou Yin, comes to pay respects!”
At this moment, a rolling shout sounded. Another youth charged up. This youth mainly cultivated demonic essence. Rolling black qi boiled on his body surface, making him look like a demon. His combat power was incredibly strong.
However, Feng Yuan from Moxu Sect shook his head and said, “He cannot win. Let alone him, even I would find it very difficult to beat him.”
“Oh?” The Moxu Sect leader was surprised. Only he knew how strong Feng Yuan was after activating his special bloodline. Since Feng Yuan had spoken, even he would find victory difficult?
That fellow’s talent and strength were actually that terrifying. Younger than Feng Yuan by five or six years, yet he possessed strength that could rival Feng Yuan?
“There might be a surprise!” Feng Yuan smiled.
The Moxu Sect leader was puzzled but said nothing more. Instead, he felt a faint sense of anticipation.
At this moment, their Moxu Sect’s genius under twenty-five, Zhou Yin, was indeed blasted down by the opponent in one move.
However, his injuries were the lightest.
Yet when Zhou Yin saw that neither the sect leader nor Feng Yuan showed concern or anger, and instead were chatting and laughing, he felt utterly depressed.
He had been sent flying, yet the sect leader and the sect’s top genius Feng Yuan ignored him completely?
However, Zhou Yin could only keep his depression to himself. He absolutely dared not provoke Feng Yuan or the sect leader.
Next, someone from Hanyue Sect took the stage, surging with rolling yin chill power.
However, just like Zhou Yin, he was blasted away by a single spear beam, though his injuries were heavier than Zhou Yin’s.
That Hanyue Sect disciple was a female disciple with stunning beauty, yet she was beaten into serious injury and embarrassment. Clearly, the opponent had done it deliberately.
This left her completely unable to understand. This Mu Haoran fellow did not know how to show mercy to the fairer sex, fine, but why spare Zhou Yin yet injure her?
Could her charm be less than a man’s?
The Hanyue Sect female disciple was utterly depressed.
“He has swept through all of Yangzhou’s third tier. This fellow really has the ability.”
“Indeed, he has brought glory to our Yanzhou!”
“One move defeats each. I hope he can continue sweeping!” …
The people from Yanzhou grew excited. Blasting away one opponent per move truly vented their frustration.
The Yangzhou crowd, who had been arrogant earlier, now fell silent. Seeing the expressions on the Yangzhou people’s faces made them feel satisfied.
“I heard that among Yangzhou’s second tier forces, Canglong Gate is stronger than Shengtian Gate?”
Lin Xiao looked towards the direction of Canglong Gate and said, “Disciples of Canglong Gate, do you dare to come up for a fight?”
The people from Shengtian Gate were furious.
Who said Canglong Gate was stronger than Shengtian Gate?
He actually dared to disregard their Shengtian Gate like this?
“As you wish. Canglong Gate disciple Xuan Hua comes for a battle!”
At this moment, a voice rang out. From the Canglong Gate crowd, a white-clothed youth holding a folding fan and exuding elegance charged out.
Deep down, he was quite pleased with Mu Haoran’s words. Hearing from someone else’s mouth on the spot that Canglong Gate was stronger than Shengtian Gate felt completely different.
The Canglong Gate people also secretly rejoiced, though they wondered where this fellow had heard it from.
Seeing the charging white-clothed youth, even Lin Xiao could not help but feel surprised.
This Xuan Hua, he naturally recognised, was one of the five who had challenged him upon entering Canglong Gate.
At that time, Xuan Hua’s cultivation was only at the fifth-level Martial Emperor realm, and his strength was not particularly strong. He could only be considered a second-tier genius in Canglong Gate.
Yet now, Xuan Hua had grown to become the strongest under twenty-five in Canglong Gate?
Of course, Luo Qianqiu, Bi Zhuang, and others were all over twenty-five, otherwise it probably would not have been Xuan Hua’s turn to charge up.
At this moment, as soon as Xuan Hua came up, he unleashed a powerful attack: the Lone Dragon Art!
Xuan Hua’s eighth-level Martial Emperor cultivation burst forth. A cyan dragon appeared, accompanied by a dragon’s roar. The dragon fist beam let out a strange howl, surging with terrifying fluctuations as it charged straight towards Lin Xiao.
“In just over a year, he has indeed grown much stronger!”
Lin Xiao was shocked inwardly. In over a year, breaking through from fifth-level to eighth-level Martial Emperor was already very fast. After all, high-level Martial Emperor breakthroughs were not easy.
The current Xuan Hua had probably entered the ranks of Canglong Gate’s first-tier geniuses.
Lin Xiao swung his spear through the air. A powerful spear beam shot out, clashing with the dragon-like fist beam. It erupted into rolling shockwaves that engulfed a hundred li around them.
The power of this strike between the two was evenly matched.
“It ended in a draw?”
“Good, not that terrifying!”
“His winning streak should end here.” …
The Yangzhou crowd secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Canglong Gate’s genius was strong enough not to be blasted away in one move.
Presumably, the opponent’s strength was nearing its limit. In this match, Yangzhou should be able to win.
Otherwise, if he swept through them, Yangzhou would have nowhere to put their face.
After all, the opponent had only sent out one person.
Moreover, a loose cultivator sweeping them would be impossible to justify.
On the other side, the Yanzhou people felt slight regret that Mu Haoran had not gained the upper hand.
If Mu Haoran had no stronger trump cards, his victories would probably stop here.
“Whoosh!”
At this moment, everyone saw Mu Haoran charge into the rolling shockwaves.
“Does he have an even stronger trump card?”
Seeing Lin Xiao’s aggressive charge, the eyes of the Yanzhou crowd lit up.
In contrast, the Yangzhou crowd grew solemn.
Xuan Hua also frowned slightly. The opponent was this aggressive?
As surging power circulated in his body, preparing to unleash an even stronger attack, Xuan Hua heard a divine sense transmission from the opponent: “Senior Brother Xuan Hua, it’s me, Lin Xiao!”
“Lin Xiao?” Xuan Hua’s heart jolted violently.
Lin Xiao had disappeared for over a year, and Canglong Gate had mobilised all efforts to search for him.
The Ji family and Shengtian Gate had also used full force to investigate traces in that void rift space, searching for Lin Xiao and the people from both sides. Various bounties were issued, mobilising countless people in Yangzhou to look, yet not a single clue was found.
Yet at this moment, Lin Xiao had appeared alive right in front of him?
After hearing Lin Xiao’s voice, Xuan Hua did not attack immediately. Instead, he allowed Lin Xiao to charge close, preparing for close combat.
“I’ll explain later. Is Senior Brother Long Tutian here?” Lin Xiao asked directly.
This was what he cared about most. First, for Long Tutian’s safety. Second, it concerned whether he could reveal his identity here.
One question would reveal the situation.
“Elder Long is indeed here, hidden in the shadows!” Xuan Hua did not ask more and answered straightforwardly.
Lin Xiao breathed a huge sigh of relief inwardly.
With Long Tutian here, it was enough to prove that Long Tutian was fine.
It also proved that the Ji family grand elder’s activation of the Rivers and Mountains Cauldron could not kill Long Tutian.
With Long Tutian present, even if he revealed his identity, it would not be so dangerous.
“Good, then you can go down now!” At this point, Lin Xiao had already reached close to Xuan Hua. After speaking, he smashed his spear towards Xuan Hua.
Xuan Hua also smashed his specially materialised folding fan heavily. A bloodline lit up behind him.
He really wanted to test just how strong Lin Xiao’s power was now.
Therefore, he urged out his strongest power.
And sensing Xuan Hua’s power, Lin Xiao’s long spear seemed to gain a bit more force, smashing heavily onto Xuan Hua’s folding fan.
