No one had expected that Xu Yi would be able to defeat Chen Wenyu in one move. Moreover, looking at the hideous wound on his body, it was obvious that Xu Yi had been ruthless.
In a battle on the stage, all the disciples would definitely give it their all, so some injuries were unavoidable. As long as they didn't kill or amputate a limb, it was fine.
Seeing Chen Wenyu's chest split open by Xu Yi, Mu En's heart tightened.
If it weren't for the Peak Lord being up there, he would have rushed out to save Chen Wenyu.
After all, Chen Wenyu was his most favored and proudest disciple.
However, before Chen Wenyu could be carried down, Xu Yi roared in Ling Xiao's direction.
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded!
Who was Ling Xiao?
He was the most popular new Elder in the Purple Sky Sect, the highest ranked Alchemist. Even if Nangong Changle was here, he wouldn't dare say that he could give him a few pointers. Recently, there were many new Elders who had successfully broken through because of Ling Xiao's King Advancement Pill. There were also a few Peak Elders who had obtained King Advancement Pills and successfully broken through.
It could be said that in the Purple Sky Sect, even Sect Master Yun Xiong had to give some face to Ling Xiao.
However, such a respected Elder was actually shouted at in front of everyone, telling him to get down and accept his death.
For a moment, many of the surrounding Elders had ugly expressions on their faces. If not for the fact that Xu Yi was Xu Jiannan's son, he would have been dismembered on the spot.
"Evil creature, what nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and get back!" Xu Jiannan, who was on the viewing platform, was enraged. He slammed the table next to him and stood up.
His voice was so loud that the ears of the weaker disciples were buzzing.
Xu Yi, who was standing on the stage, had a resolute expression on his face. He ignored his father's words and shouted at Ling Xiao again, "Ling Xiao, if you're a man, get down here and fight me to the death!"
"Evil creature!" Seeing that his son didn't give him face, Xu Jiannan shouted again and was about to attack Xu Yi.
Within the Sect, the most important thing was the hierarchy. Although Xu Yi was his son, and his status was a little higher than the average Successor Disciple, but compared to Ling Xiao, he was still a far cry.
Those who were crowned with the title of "Elder", which one of them wasn't a bigwig level figure in the Purple Heaven Sect? Even Xu Yi, as a peak master, had to give some face to the elders of his own peak or other peaks.
If Ling Xiao was just an ordinary Elder, perhaps Xu Jiannan wouldn't be so angry. At most, he would try to persuade his son to keep the peace. However, Ling Xiao just had to be the most famous "Elder Ling" in the sect.
He didn't know if his son had been drugged with some kind of drug to make him lose his mind. After being locked up by him for a few months, he wanted his son to wake up. He didn't expect his son to not repent, which made him sad and embarrassed.
If he didn't do something now, he was afraid that this son of his would be thrown into prison!
Just as Xu Jiannan was about to make a move, Yun Xiong unexpectedly said, "Let the youngsters solve their own problems."
Xu Jiannan stopped and looked at Yun Xiong with a complicated expression. Finally, his gaze stopped on Yun Mengqi. He looked at her gratefully and sat back in his seat, but his face was still filled with anger.
He knew that if Yun Mengqi hadn't said something to Yun Xiong, he would have broken his son's leg with his own hands.
However, Xu Jiannan was very puzzled, "Could it be that Miss thinks that Ling Xiao can defeat my son?"
Mu Huai's expression was very complicated, but in his heart, he was cursing Xu Jiannan's good son a thousand times.
Now, the scene became quiet, and no one dared to breathe loudly.
Ling Xiao was still sitting behind Mu En, his expression indifferent, as if he didn't hear Xu Yi's words.
Mu En's expression was somewhat ugly, "Endure it, you're not his match."
Mu En knew that Ling Xiao and Chen Wenyu had both broken through to High Rank Soul Master at the same time, and Mu En had always thought that the reason why Ling Xiao could become a High Rank Soul Master so quickly was related to his identity as an alchemist. He felt that Ling Xiao must have used a pill to become a High Rank Soul Master in such a short period of time.
Chen Wenyu was defeated by Xu Yi in one move, so Mu En didn't think that Ling Xiao would be able to defeat Xu Yi.
It wasn't just Mu En who didn't think that Ling Xiao would win.
This was because they only knew that Ling Xiao was good at alchemy, but no one thought that his combat strength was that strong.
"Ling Xiao, are you deaf?
Get out here! Whoever loses is not allowed to pester Mengqi! "Xu Yi once again pointed at Ling Xiao and roared.
On the viewing platform, Yun Meng Qi calmly stared at Xu Yi. However, her delicate hands were tightly clenched.
The reason she didn't let Xu Jiannan take Xu Yi away was because she hoped that Ling Xiao would stand out and ruthlessly teach Ling Xiao a lesson. At the same time, she would let everyone know that the man she liked wasn't a weakling.
But now, Xu Yi's attitude made her extremely angry. At the same time, she hoped that Ling Xiao would prove what she thought in her heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy of her.
"Elder Ling, Xu Yi has just obtained the position of champion. He hopes that you can give him a few pointers. Help him out," Yun Xiong's voice faintly rang out.
In truth, he was very dissatisfied with Xu Yi, and in his heart, he was also unhappy with Xu Jiannan.
Although he had previously joked with Xu Jiannan about letting Xu Yi marry Yun Mengqi, after Yun Mengqi had obtained the Earth Sovereign inheritance, his thoughts had changed. Perhaps Xu Yi might not be suitable for his daughter.
But Ling Xiao's sudden intervention had actually given him another choice. After all, Ling Xiao was a fourth rank alchemist, and in the future he had a chance of becoming a fifth rank alchemist. In the entire northwest, there were only a few sects that had fifth rank alchemists. So in his heart, he was more inclined to let Ling Xiao marry his daughter.
Just now, if it weren't for his daughter stopping him, he definitely would have flipped out on the spot. "Could it be that Mengqi thinks highly of this brat?"
Thinking of this, Yun Xiong couldn't help thinking back to the matter at Blaze Valley a year ago. It was said that Ling Xiao had personally killed an Elder of the Moon Worshipping Sect, so he had changed his mind. He wanted to see if Ling Xiao had any other abilities other than alchemy.
Ling Xiao had been repeatedly yelled at and cursed at, so he was naturally unhappy. He had originally thought that the Elders would help him solve this problem, but looking at the current situation, everyone wanted to watch a good show!
Now that the Sect Master had spoken, Ling Xiao naturally wouldn't sit still and be laughed at by others.
"Since you want to watch a good show, then enjoy it." A faint smile appeared on Ling Xiao's face as he leisurely walked out.
On the viewing platform, Mu Huai's expression became even uglier. Originally, he had hoped that Ling Xiao would participate in order to help Mu Flag Peak obtain a spot in the top ten, but he didn't want Ling Xiao's fate to be as miserable as Chen Wenyu's.
If Ling Xiao was miserably taught a lesson by Xu Yi, it might leave a shadow in his heart that would be detrimental to his future breakthroughs!
However, even if he was anxious now, it was useless. The Sect Master had already spoken, so what else could he say? He could only fiercely glare at Xu Jiannan, and in his heart, he decided that in the future, he would never have any dealings with Golden Tong Peak.
"Xu Yi, this child, is not bad. After obtaining the position of champion, he doesn't even put the Elders in his eyes." Although Mu Huai didn't have the ability to stop it, he still sneered unhappily.
"Isn't this all because of Senior Xu's guidance?" Zhao Mingyuan said in a strange tone.
Wen Haiyan also lightly said, "His strength is not bad, but his temperament is still lacking."
…
The Peak Lords of the various peaks all spoke up for Ling Xiao. After all, they had all received kindness from Ling Xiao. Seeing that Ling Xiao was about to be bullied, if they, as elders, didn't help, then were they still human?
Xu Jiannan listened to everyone's words and shook his head. He was also too embarrassed to say anything, but his heart was filled with bitterness. His son's conduct was too improper.
Originally, when his son had obtained the position of champion, he had been very happy. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this? This time, he didn't even know where to put his face.
Ling Xiao's appearance attracted everyone's gazes, and he was even more dazzling than when Yu Lieyan and Bing Ruoshui had appeared.
Ling Xiao originally liked this kind of gaze of worship from others, but this time, those gazes contained a bit more worry for him.
"Isn't this better?" Ling Xiao asked in his mind.
Everyone thought he was a sheep, but who knew he was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing?
Ling Xiao indifferently looked at Xu Yi. "To tell the truth, fighting with you is very boring. The only reason I'm standing here is because the Sect Master said so. Otherwise, I would just treat you as a madman shouting here."
"Cut the crap. Mengqi and I are childhood friends, and we've been engaged for a long time. If you know what's good for you, take back what you said before. Otherwise, don't even think of leaving this martial arena alive," Xu Yi sinisterly said to Ling Xiao.
Ever since he was young, he could have whatever he wanted, and Yun Mengqi had long since been his lifelong companion. But because of this brat in front of him, his heart had been disturbed.
Yun Mengqi also seemed to like this brat. That was a reality that Xu Yi didn't want to face.
There was nothing he couldn't obtain if he wanted to obtain it.
Xu Yi's heart was somewhat twisted. He actually didn't care about his old man Xu Jiannan's position and spoke viciously to Ling Xiao on the martial arena.
If it was any other disciple, how could he still have the life to stand here? That was a crime punishable by death.
Before Ling Xiao could say anything, Yun Mengqi didn't give him any face. "Don't make it sound so pleasant. I don't like you. Even if you defeat Ling Xiao, I still won't marry you. Just give up on that thought."
Yun Mengqi's words were undoubtedly a heavy slap to Xu Yi's face. Even Xu Jiannan's face became a bit ugly.
Xu Yi tightly clenched his fists, his face twisting. Taking a deep breath, he calmed down and said, "I'll use time to prove my love for you. I believe that one day you'll marry me."
"Ai, pitiful child. A melon forcibly picked won't be sweet. Why are you so stubborn? If you want to fight, then hurry up and fight. I really don't know where your confidence comes from. Xu Peak Lord's face has been completely lost by you." Ling Xiao shrugged and sighed.
"If you immediately admit defeat and promise not to bother Mengqi in the future, I'll let you leave." Xu Yi looked at Ling Xiao. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Otherwise, I'll definitely have a life and death battle with you!"
"Nonsense! Ling Xiao, get down here! I want to see who dares touch you!" Mu Huai couldn't help slapping the table and standing up. He didn't want to see Ling Xiao suffer the slightest loss.
Ling Xiao ignored his master's words and icily looked at Xu Yi. "You don't have the qualifications to have a life and death battle with me. You're not worthy. Also, Mengqi is my woman for this lifetime. No one can have any ideas about her, including … you."
