The arena was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was staring intently at the arena, waiting for the moment when the winner would be decided.
But after a while, there was still no movement. The referee hesitated for a moment and was about to step forward to decide the winner when a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the cave. The crowd looked closely and saw that it was none other than Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng looked a little ragged, his face full of scars and his clothes in tatters. However, he had a smug smile on his face. Behind him, a green ball made of twigs and leaves rose up.
There seemed to be a living creature trapped in the green ball. It was struggling frantically, causing the green ball to shake and twist. However, as the green vines on the ground continued to grow, it was firmly fixed to the ground and became thicker and thicker. As a result, the creature's movements became smaller and smaller.
The crowd was still in a daze. Only a few people suddenly realised something and clapped, their eyes lighting up. "I see!"
Ouyang Xiu was stunned too, then blurted out, "Impressive!"
Obviously, the compliment was not for Liu Xuanqing but for Li Chengfeng. However, most of the Hidden Beauty disciples were confused. They did not know what was trapped in the green ball, nor did they know how impressive Li Chengfeng was.
After Li Chengfeng jumped out of the cave, he scanned the area and yelled, "Liu Xuanqing!
Admit defeat!
It's not embarrassing to lose to me! "
This sentence was giving him a taste of his own medicine, a slap to the face. Many of the spectators laughed quietly, but some of the Hidden Modesty Court disciples who were on good terms with Liu Xuan Qing shouted, "Senior Brother Liu, kill him, kill him now!!"
But after shouting for a while, they didn't see any reaction from Liu Xuanqing. This caused them to be puzzled, and they looked at each other in dismay. Their cheers gradually became softer.
Li Chengfeng's smile grew even more confident as he said loudly on the stage, "What's wrong?
Aren't you fast?
I'll stand here, I promise I won't dodge!
I promise I won't defend! "
As he spoke, Li Chengfeng stood aside with his hands behind his back, looking fearless.
Li Chengfeng spoke for a while but Liu Xuanqing still did not move. "Oh?
Are you worried that I will retaliate?
Don't worry, I promise I won't fight back! "As he spoke, the vines beneath him quickly grew and bound Li Chengfeng's hands and feet.
The crowd was in an uproar!
He had seen arrogant people, but he had never seen such an arrogant person!
Xiaobao and the rest were tongue-tied, their jaws almost dropped to the ground. They had no idea what was going on. Why did Li Chengfeng suddenly become so arrogant? The tables had turned so dramatically.
"Senior brother … was it like this before?" Han Tianxing was dumbstruck and asked Xiaobao instinctively.
Xiaobao shuddered, as if he was reminded of an unpleasant memory. He nodded, "Don't offend him, or he'll do something worse!"
As if to prove his point, he yelled, "You still don't dare to attack?
Alright, I'll close my eyes too. Is that okay? "
The vines grew rapidly once more, producing many tender branches and green leaves that covered Li Chengfeng's eyes.
This time, it wasn't just arrogance, it was simply madness!
Even the spectators could not bear to watch this!
Would it kill you to stop acting tough?
Even more people on the sidelines were upset and shouted, "Hit him! Hit him!"
"Liu Xuanqing, did you lose your balls?
Attack! "
"You're not attacking?!
Why are you shrinking your balls?! "
However, there was still no movement until Li Chengfeng burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha …" The vines and leaves on Li Chengfeng's body automatically shrank back as he yelled, "Liu Xuanqing!
You've lost, stop hiding! "
There was still no one in the arena, no answer. Only Li Chengfeng was talking to himself.
"Liu Xuanqing, I've seen through you!" Li Chengfeng sneered. "You're smart, you know how to sneak in!
But you're stupid too!
You made two mistakes from the start!
It's because of these two mistakes that I've seen through you! "
Li Chengfeng's voice reverberated throughout the field. The Spiritual Mountain Sect disciples who were making a ruckus earlier all quieted down and listened carefully to Li Chengfeng's words. Even the disciples who were on Liu Xuanqing's side were hesitant.
If Li Chengfeng was just spouting nonsense, why didn't Liu Xuanqing retaliate?
His attacks were so fierce and fast, he should have been able to beat Li Chengfeng up again!
But Liu Xuanqing did not. It was as if he had disappeared.
Some lucky people thought that Liu Xuanqing was just accumulating power in the dark, preparing for the next wave of attacks.
Li Chengfeng continued, "First, you attacked me from the start and almost knocked me off the arena. Why didn't you continue?
That's the first mistake you've made!
Second, why did you use a flash talisman to blind us for a moment before you attacked with all your might?
This is the second mistake you've made! "
When Li Chengfeng pointed out these two mistakes, many of the disciples understood. Indeed, these two mistakes were not normal. Why did Liu Xuanqing do this?
Li Chengfeng yelled, "Why did you make such a mistake?
The reason is simple!
Because you didn't want to reveal your true trump card!
In your eyes, I'm not your real opponent. You wanted to defeat me and climb higher, so you didn't want to reveal your trump card! "
Li Chengfeng laughed mockingly. "It's because of your greed that you tried so hard to hide your true trump card. But it was because of this act that you revealed your true trump card!"
"If you were fast enough, you wouldn't have needed to hide at all.
You don't need to conceal yourself at all. You could've blasted me off the stage in one go with your surprise attack at the very beginning!
But you didn't!
Why?
Because you knew that if you attacked a second time, you would reveal your trump card!
So, you stopped and watched helplessly as I returned to the arena! "
At this time, the crowd at the side of the arena had completely quietened down. Li Chengfeng carefully explained the reason behind the reversal of this battle, and quietly listened to Li Chengfeng's unconventional way of using words to attack his opponent. However, Liu Xuanqing did not make a sound, nor did he retaliate.
Li Chengfeng continued, "And why did you use the flash talisman?
Because you wanted to use it to instantly use another talisman?
To hide your trump card!
When your trump card isn't seen through, it looks terrifying but once it's seen through … it's worthless! "
The crowd pricked up their ears. The arena was silent!
Some impatient people even shouted loudly, "So what exactly is this trump card!?"
But the moment he spoke, the people around him glared at him, afraid that he would interrupt Li Chengfeng's revelation!
