Suddenly, Xu Sheng's heart issued a cold shout, "Immortal-grade Superior Martial Technique, Immortal Emperor Mo's Slash!"
As the words fell, his entire body burst forth with immense Spiritual Power, which spread continuously, cloaking the surroundings in a layer of faint golden radiance!
Then, as his will moved, that Spiritual Power surged into the palm of Xu Sheng, gathering into a longsword that seemed capable of tearing through everything...
"Buzzing~~~~", the grating sound erupted incessantly, emanating from his position as the origin, spreading outwards in all directions...
In an instant, a fierce wind rose across the entire Martial Arts Stage, as Xu Sheng and the golden Light Sword in his grip seemed to merge into one, dazzling to the point of irresistibility...
"Hiss... Elder Xu actually knows the Duanmu Clan's Immortal-grade Superior Martial Technique, Immortal Emperor Mo's Slash!"
"But isn't Elder Xu someone who has only just joined our Duanmu Clan? Why does he know this Martial Technique that only the Elders can cultivate?"
"Could it be that Elder Xu has mastered this Immortal Rank Martial Arts within just a few short days?"
"How is that possible! Even the most talented prodigies in the younger generation of the Cultivation World would need at least several months to master a single Immortal Rank Martial Arts!"
"Apart from the Immortal Emperor Mo's Slash, Elder Xu knows other Immortal Rank Martial Techniques too, each of which requires the level of an Elder to be cultivated in the Scripture Vault. What does this represent? It likely means Elder Xu has been one of our Duanmu Clan's Elders for a very long time!"
"Damn! Now that you mention it, that seems quite possible. Otherwise, with such terrifying talent, why would Elder Xu join our Duanmu Clan!"
Hearing these words, Duanmu Shuo, who was the Family Head, his face darkened quietly...
Nevertheless, it was undeniable that a talent as terrifying as Xu Sheng's would be courted by countless sects and families in the Cultivation World, and even for a top-tier family like the Duanmu Clan, the chance of being chosen was pitifully small!
And the surrounding Clan Leaders, witnessing the scene on the Martial Arts Stage, sneered coldly, "Hmph, no matter how talented, today he is likely to fall on the Martial Arts Stage, the Immortal Rank Martial Techniques used by two Immortal Monarch Realm Elders in unison, how could that kid possibly withstand?"
"That's right! Even though they consumed quite a bit of Spiritual Power in their previous duel, it must be much more profound than that of Xu Sheng who is barely hanging on!"
"He could have had a great future in the Cultivation World, but alas, he chose his own demise!"
Clearly, the words already bore considerable killing intent towards Xu Sheng. Such an extraordinary individual, if not obtained, should at least be destroyed!
Duanmu Shuo, already aware that Xu Sheng was no ordinary person, lazily said, "What do you mean, fellow Clan Leaders? This duel between Elders is not only about the contest, it's also about deepening the friendship between our great families!"
Hearing his evasive reply, the other Clan Leaders responded straightforwardly, "Hmph! Duanmu Patriarch, stop pretending to be oblivious, we all understand each other's intentions, it's just not good to lay them out in the open."
"A tree that stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it, even an idiot understands this principle, and such a person won't live long!"
Duanmu Shuo yawned, his slightly tired eyes swept indifferently over the three men and he said faintly, "Then there's no need for concern from you gentlemen. I believe with such a mighty talent, it won't be long before he can inherit my position as the Clan Leader! I will be relying on everyone's support then!"
However, as their conversation unfolded, rapid changes had already begun to take place on the tumultuous Martial Arts Stage...
On the stage, the two Elders focused their minds, each locking their floating massive seals and Sword Qi onto Xu Sheng...
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying strength mixed within the two attacks started descending slowly towards Xu Sheng...
And Xu Sheng, clutching the Personal Sword that emanated dazzling golden light, a hint of coldness flaring in his ink-colored eyes, stamped his right leg, his figure exploded upward, leaping towards the two oncoming assaults...
Without any hesitation, he swung his personal sword, clashing with it...
"Bang!!!!"
A startling and earth-shaking sound spread out, blinding golden light enveloped the entire Duanmu Mansion, causing everyone to lose their sight...
The only thing that could be seen clearly was the sword scar that tore through the sky above the Duanmu Mansion!!
As for the martial techniques used by the two opposing Elders, they had already shattered helplessly the moment they came into contact with Xu Sheng's personal sword!
All the disciples of the Duanmu Clan stretched out their hands to cover their eyes, exclaiming, "Such a blinding golden light! Is this the Immortal Rank Martial Arts used by Elder Xu? Indeed terrifyingly powerful!!"
Only when the dazzling light gradually disappeared did they look up into the sky and exclaim, "This martial technique must have at least reached great achievement! Otherwise, how could it have instantly destroyed two martial techniques of the same realm!"
"Terrifying! Elder Xu's strength must have surpassed the Family Head's by now? Within the entire Duanmu Mansion, only the Elder Family Head guarding the Scripture Vault could possibly be more powerful than him!"
"So horrifying! I originally thought that Elder Lian and Elder Qingruo should be the strongest within the same realm, but I didn't expect that Elder Xu is the real dark horse!!"
"Now I believe it, Elder Xu must have been an elder of our Duanmu Clan a long time ago!!"
Even Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo were shocked as they looked at Xu Sheng on the Martial Arts Stage...
Clearly, they could hardly believe that Xu Sheng's strength had reached such a level; neither of them could compete with him!
Duanmu Lian's eyes shone brightly, "So... so powerful, Xu Sheng has become so strong in such a short time, Qingruo, if you don't work harder, you will be left behind!"
Hearing this, Zhou Qingruo's eyes flickered a few times, and she said coldly, "Do you have any right to talk about me?"
Duanmu Lian blinked her innocent eyes, "But Xu Sheng and I aren't lovers, just think, if the gap between your cultivation level and Xu Sheng's widens, he might change his heart and like another woman!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo's complexion immediately darkened...
But deep down, she also felt that what Duanmu Lian said was not without reason; although she considered her talent and appearance to be good, she was not so arrogant as to think she was the best in the entire Cultivation World!
Seeing Zhou Qingruo's reaction, Duanmu Lian said in surprise, "What? Qingruo, you're not really taking it seriously, are you? I was just joking!"
Zhou Qingruo's face flushed a bit, and she said through gritted teeth, "Shut up! No one would think you're mute if you didn't talk!"
Xu Sheng on the stage glanced at the sword scar in the sky and showed no surprise at all, he turned to the Elder presiding over the match and said, "You can announce the outcome now!"
The latter was taken aback, but quickly came to his senses and hurriedly announced, "All right... Okay! The winner of this match is: the Duanmu Family!!"
