Chapter 926: The Duel Begins (Please Subscribe)_1
Xu Sheng's eyes swept over him once, "Don't shoot your mouth off, and yes, I also watched your duel just now..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Peng revealed a smug expression, as if he had already heard words of praise...
However, imagination is a beautiful thing, and Xu Sheng's next words instantly froze his expression...
His face darkened, and he said sinisterly, "You dare say my skills are trash to the extreme..."
Unable to control the intense killing intent within, the sword in his hand kept making a harsh ringing noise...
"Buzzing buzz buzz buzz~~"
As if he couldn't wait to chop Xu Sheng into two...
This guy called "Xu Sheng" could only talk tough before the duel began, in his presence!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng unmercifully twisted the knife again, "Not only is your strength trash, but your temperament is also poor. I really don't know why Starfall Sect sent you to participate in the Five Sects Grand Competition!"
Ye Peng's eyes flared with fire, and one of his arms began to tremble...
Then, unable to hold back any longer, he roared, "You bastard, go to hell!!"
With that said, he gripped his sword and charged at Xu Sheng like a cannonball, directing an extremely tricky sword strike toward the latter's head...
Xu Sheng remained calm, placing his sword vertically in front of him...
After the collision of the two swords, both glowing with a cold light, a crisp "bang" sound was emitted...
Seeing his attack so easily blocked, Ye Peng's pupils shrank violently, and he exclaimed in his heart, "What? Not even a tremor!!"
He had thought that under his strike, even if Xu Sheng managed to block it, he would be forced back dozens of steps, yet he stood firm like a mountain, not retreating an inch...
Without any hesitation, he quickly stepped back a few paces...
Looking at Xu Sheng again, his eyes held a few more shades of wariness...
...
The Luo Yun Sect's Sect Master said puzzledly, "The duel hasn't been announced to start, what is this disciple doing?"
The other Sect Masters also cast doubtful glances...
The Starfall Sect Master coughed behind his hand and said with a straight face, "Don't worry, he's just testing the waters! Just testing."
This kid, why doesn't he know to wait until it starts to make a move?
The Water Ripple Sect Master ruthlessly pierced through the pretense, "Testing? Are you sure it's not because he got angry from embarrassment and broke the rules?"
The usually silent Mountain Sect Master suddenly spoke up, "Indeed, if we were to follow our original rules, he would be directly judged as losing!"
Having finally found an opportunity to vent, how could they possibly let it go!
The Starfall Sect Master shot them a glance, "Aren't the two Sect Masters being a bit too harsh? It's just a simple test..."
The Luo Yun Sect's Sect Master said leisurely, "Let's just announce the start! Let's finish this Five Sects Grand Competition sooner!"
Luo Yun also said with a smile, "Indeed, it's better to finish earlier, to see which sect will be at the bottom!"
This time, Tianlong Sect will surely take first place!
...
Suddenly, four big words rang out...
"The duel begins!!"
As Ye Peng's gaze locked onto Xu Sheng, he silently commanded in his heart, "Profound Grade Superior Martial Technique, Water Transformation!"
It enabled him to turn a part of his body into water at the moment of injury and to suddenly launch an attack!.
After deploying this martial technique, a faint membrane formed over his skin, hardly noticeable unless looked at closely!
However, all of this was under the watchful gaze of Xu Sheng across from him...
He suddenly gripped his personal sword tightly, as spiritual power continuously poured into it from within...
Profound Grade Top-Tier Martial Technique, Purgatory Fire Sword
There wasn't any obvious overall change, but a faint glow of fire coated the sharp edge of the personal sword...
Before he could ponder further, Ye Peng charged at him at high speed, taunting as he moved, "I only underestimated you before, now prepare to kneel and surrender!"
"Bang, bang, bang!" The crisps sounds of collision resounded continuously...
Just as Xu Sheng seized an opening to strike at Ye Peng's arm with his sword...
A cold smile surfaced on the latter's face, with not the slightest intention to dodge...
As expected, the moment his arm was struck, it suddenly transformed into a flow of water...
Seizing the moment, Ye Peng's right hand gripped his personal sword and aimed a slash at Xu Sheng's head...
Seeing this, Xu Sheng's eyebrows furrowed, "Hmm?"
Taken by surprise, he was forced back several steps...
Seeing him repelled, Ye Peng sneered, "Are you surprised? Did you think such war..."
Before Ye Peng could finish, Xu Sheng interrupted him indifferently, "Surprised? Perhaps you should look at your own left hand?"
Hearing this, Ye Peng felt a bad premonition and turned his gaze towards his left hand...
Sure enough, he saw his left hand eerily blackened as if scorched, turning somewhat dark...
He couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "When did this happen?"
He clearly hadn't seen Xu Sheng use any martial technique! Could it have been just now...
With this thought, Ye Peng looked at Xu Sheng's personal sword, seeing the faint glow of fire it emanated, and his face suddenly looked even more unsightly...
This guy had seen through my martial technique from the very beginning!
It seems I must use all my strength now; continuing to test him any further is not to my advantage!
Meanwhile, Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow and said softly, "What? Are you thinking of surrendering?"
Ye Peng gritted his teeth, "Me, surrender? Dream on! Earth Grade Low-Grade Martial Skill, Star Severing!"
No sooner had these words fallen than his personal sword began to emit several blinding silver-white radiances, with an even more heart-palpitating sharpness as if it could sever all things...
Sensing the ever-increasing momentum of Ye Peng, Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes and commented, "This move... is quite interesting!"
The surrounding disciples, sensing Ye Peng's increasingly powerful aura, all swallowed hard...
It turns out he hadn't used his true strength when fighting Li Yan!
They couldn't help but exclaim, "What terrifying might, even from this distance! My heart seems to be pounding uncontrollably!"
"This technique is too fearsome! Just the aura alone is suffocating! Worthy of being Senior Brother Ye Peng, a young genius of our Starfall Sect!"
"That's right! Senior Brother Ye Peng has mastered many of the Earth Grade martial techniques of our Starfall Sect; he can definitely defeat that Xu Sheng!"
"Nonsense! Our Tianlong Sect's Xu Sheng is not someone Ye Peng can compare with!"
"Xu Sheng! Xu Sheng! Xu Sheng!"
Seeing Ye Peng wield this martial technique, the Starfall Sect Master's smile grew broader, and after glancing over at Luo Yun, he asked, "Sect Master Luo, who do you think will win between the two of them?"
Luo Yun glanced at him, "Is that even a question?"
Certainly, it's Xu Sheng who will win!
If it were a disciple from another sect, perhaps they wouldn't be able to withstand this move, but he is not among them!
After all, Xu Sheng has reached the Fifth Level of the Earth Immortal Realm!
