Chapter 207: Chapter 176: Winning with One Move 1

Translator: 549690339             —

“Old man, are you blind?!”

An indignant Shang YaoYao was unable to hold back her swearing.

Clearly, Luo Qingchen had the absolute advantage, so how did Bai Yingwu end up winning?

“Impudent child!”

The Golden Core Elder in charge of the event, upon hearing Shang YaoYao’s curse, had his face turn black. He waved his hand and conjured several water bullets, shooting them towards Shang YaoYao.

Although it was just the most common Water Bullet Skill, its attacking power was nothing weak, but comparable to a tier six proficiency level skill.

Shang YaoYao had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, she completely couldn’t withstand the attack, and didn’t even have enough time to react.

Xu Mu had just taken to the stage at this moment, preparing to examine Luo Qingchen’s injuries and didn’t even have the time to help.

Needless to say, by the time Li Heng reacted, the water bullets had already landed in front of his eyes.

Hum!

Luckily, the defensive magic artifact passed down in Shang YaoYao’s family activated in time, instigating a light screen, and blocked the water bullets. Boom! Boom!

“Ah!”

Shang YaoYao let out a cry of surprise, being thrown several feet away under the great impact, knocking over several disciples consecutively.

Upon recovering, Li Heng staggered forward to check on her.

“This is just a lesson for you. If it happens again, you’ll be thrown into confinement!”

Looking at the embarrassing state of Shang YaoYao, the elder snorted coldly. Obviously, he recognized Shang YaoYao and knew that she had a defensive artifact on her, hence he took a harsh on her.

After all, he was a Golden Core Stage powerhouse, and he couldn’t tolerate such contempt from a junior.

Even the head of the Shang family had to act politely in front of him.

“Was I wrong?! This is clearly a distortion of truth!”

Shang YaoYao, not accepting the defeat, pushed away the supportive Li Heng and vehemently said.

The disciples who were watching all turned their heads towards the elder who had made the judgement, intending to see how he would respond.

The majority of the disciples present were neutral, they wouldn’t distort the truth nor would they blindly support Bai Yingwu.

Besides, a single elder at the Golden Core Stage couldn’t overturn the truth in Tianhe Sect.

If there wasn’t a reasonable explanation, this matter wouldn’t be ignored so easily.

“Distortion of truth? Humph! I haven’t sunk so low as to bully a junior. Her bloodline was not naturally obtained, but transplanted later. Besides, it’s still sealed with some of the Golden Core Stage’s power. What she used just now was not her own power. There’s nothing wrong with my judgement that she lost!” said the presiding elder.

“How is that possible?!!”

Shang YaoYao was momentarily unable to accept this, and stood there stunned.

Li Heng lowered his head slightly, balled his fists tightly, and did not dare to maintain eye contact with anyone.

“What? Transplanted bloodline? There are actually people willing to do such an exhausting, thankless task!”

“I was saying! How could a place like Lonely Sword Peak possibly have disciples with special bloodlines!”

“Lonely Sword Peak is really famous now, the Peak Master is a drunkard, and the disciples are all pedaling crooked paths!”

The crowd couldn’t help mocking and jeering after knowing that Luo Qingchen used a transplanted bloodline.

This sort of thing was hardly honorable. Shang YaoYao’s face was turning green and then red, she didn’t know how to counter.

Xu Mu on the stage merely wrinkled his brows and didn’t have much of a reaction. He helped Luo Qingchen up, took out a healing pill from his storage bag and gave it to her. Then he used his spiritual power to inspect her injuries. Only after confirming that she was in a coma from fatigue did he carry her down from the stage.

You take Sister Luo to the Medicine Hall for a check-up first, I will find you both after my competition!”

Xu Mu handed Luo Qingchen over to Shang YaoYao and asked Li Heng to leave with them, leaving him alone as the only disciple of Lonely Sword Peak on the stage.

Influenced by this event, the people around them unconsciously distanced themselves from him.

Qi Yue initially wanted to go over to console him a bit, but was stopped by his own brothers and thus had to give up.

Soon, it was Xu Mu’s turn to take the stage.

As the only disciple of the Lonely Sword Peak, coupled with Luo Qingchen’s infringement, Xu Mu had gained almost everyone’s attention.

Xu Mu even vaguely felt that many people were also watching him in secret, probably the high-ranking members of the sect or strong powerhouses invited to watch the ceremony.

Xu Mu didn’t care about these gazes, after all, it was just a clone, even if it was destroyed, it wouldn’t matter.

His opponent, Gu Jianyi, was the first to step onto the ring.

Kid, in the face of absolute power, any despicable means are just jokes!” sneered Gu Jianyi.

His words carried subtle meanings, somewhat veiled accusations.

Xu Mu ignored his provocation, and likewise, flew onto the ring.

The presiding Golden Core elder looked at him a few more times, ensuring that he wouldn’t cheat like Luo Qingchen did.

Honestly speaking, such skeptical glances are unbearable for most. If Shang YaoYao were here, she probably would be ranting already.

But for Xu Mu, who had experienced two lifetimes and countless disdainful looks, this was nothing more than a breeze brushing past his face.

Boom!

As the formation’s light curtain enveloped the three, the starting bell rang. Just as Gu Jianyi was about to say something, the flying sword on Xu Mu’s back burst out, transforming into a giant blue dragon and striking Gu Jianyi.

Roar of the Dragon shook the sky!

Gu Jianyi hadn’t regraded that Xu Mu would act so decisively, using his big move right from the start.

He quickly made a defensive spell, but unfortunately, there was not enough time, the spiritual power defense that he gathered was extremely limited.

Bang!

Spurt!

With the spiritual defense shattered, Gu Jianyi spewed out fresh blood, and was blasted away.

“I…”

Gu Jianyi tried to struggle to get up, but the flying sword was already at his throat; half an inch further and it would pierce his throat. He didn’t even have time to cast a spell.

Gu Jianyi could only remain stiff on the spot, daring not to move at all.

“Elder, aren’t you going to announce the result yet?”

Xu Mu calmly looked up at the Golden Core elder floating in the sky.

Upon hearing his words, the elder frowned and announced, “The winner is Xu Mu!!”

“What? How could this happen!!”

The disciples of Ask Sword Peak couldn’ t believe it. Their highly- regarded senior brother had been defeated so easily.

“Despicable!”

“He ambushed us! Dishonorable!”

The disciples of Ask Sword Peak below began to shout out in disagreement.

The disciples from other peaks didn’t say a word, revealing amused expressions.

Today’s competition was really exciting! Two surprises in a row!

“Elder! I request a rematch!”

Gu Jianyi stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, equally disgruntled.

“The result is already out! It cannot be changed!”

The elder’s attitude was unexpectedly resolute.

Gu Jianyi still wanted to struggle, but the elder used spiritual power to sweep

him off the ring, and Xu Mu likewise stepped down.

“What an idiot, he really thought the other party took advantage!”

A silver-eyed youth in the sky couldn’t help but laugh.

The disciples of Ask Sword Peak are getting worse by the generation!” A ethereal woman coldly said.

Ordinary Qi Cultivation disciples couldn’t understand the subtleties, but these Foundation Establishment elite disciples clearly saw that Xu Mu’s sword movement had reached an extremely profound realm. Even if Xu Mu hadn’t struck suddenly, Gu Jianyi was still not his opponent.

However, Gu Jianyi, being one of the parties involved, was unwilling to admit this.

“Damn it! Just you wait! I am going directly to the peak master, you’re going to pay for this soon!”

Seeing that he couldn’t change the Golden Core elder’s decision, Gu Jianyi could only leave harsh words behind, hurriedly left the venue, and returned to Ask Sword Peak to get the Peak Master to seek justice for him.

Xu Mu similarly had no intention of staying to watch the rest of the competition. He summoned his flying sword and flew towards the Medicine Hall.

After arriving, he found that Luo Qingchen wasn’t there. After inquiring with the disciples of the Medicine Hall, he learned that Luo Qingchen and Shang YaoYao hadn’t even come by at all.

“What’s going on?”
