The scene was at a stalemate for a moment. On the competition stage, Su Xing and Feng Yuan were like two cold stone statues, their eyes looking at each other full of indifference and disdain.
Feng Yuan was a little surprised by Su Xing's appearance. He raised his eyebrows and glanced down, seeing that the thing blocking his long sword turned out to be a rusty sword.
"Who are you……"
He seemed to be impressed by Su Xing and narrowed his eyes, searching for the other person's name in his mind.
For a moment, he showed a look of enlightenment, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said at the same time: "Su Xing?"
"The murderer who killed Sister Tongdaoyuan, Su Xing?" Feng Yuan looked calm, glanced at both sides, and said loudly on purpose.
Although the disciples watching in the audience had all participated in the public lectures at the Law Enforcement Hall, they still couldn't help but look timid towards Su Xing after hearing Feng Yuan's words.
Murderer.
Hearing these four words and the timid looks in his eyes, Su Xing's heart suddenly became cold.
Unexpectedly, after he finally found the evidence of the case and cleared himself at the Law Enforcement Hall, people would still look at him like this.
"Su Xing..."
Li Feiyao, who was beside Su Xing, frowned slightly after sensing the change in the atmosphere of the scene, and a clearly visible look of worry appeared on his apricot-like face.
She suddenly recalled what her senior sister Zhou Qinghan once said to her, "The last thing Su Xing wants to see is to be slandered."
Su Xing heard her voice and turned to face her with a calming smile.
After seeing Su Xing's smile, Li Feiyao was shaken as if he had taken a powerful reassurance, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
"In this competition, Feng Yuan of Xuanguan Taoist Academy wins. According to the sect's regulations, Feng Yuan becomes the new candidate number 49 on the Earth Ranking."
At this moment, the witness on the side spoke and announced the result of the game.
After hearing that he had successfully entered the rankings, Feng Yuan also had a very proud smile on his face, his head slightly raised, and his squinting eyes showed unreserved contempt.
"In less than half a year after joining the sect, Junior Brother Feng Yuan has not only condensed his own spiritual patterns, but also ranked among the top rankings. He is truly a formidable person!"
"Yes, Xuanguang and Shenji each account for half of the top fifty on the current earth rankings, while Yuyang Taoist Temple can only squeeze into the list by relying on gaps."
"Except for Senior Brother Lin Qi and Senior Sister Zhou Qinghan who have been on the list all year round, Junior Sister Li Feiyao was expected to become the third disciple of Yuyang Taoist Academy to enter the Earth Ranking. Unfortunately... she met Feng Yuan."
"What's the pity? It's not that the disciples of Yuyang Taoist Academy are not talented enough."
Everyone in the audience, after hearing that Feng Yuan had successfully entered the Earth Ranking, also clasped their fists and expressed congratulations to Feng Yuan. However, apart from saying congratulations, some other Taoist disciples did not forget to ridicule Li Feiyao for a while, making the girl blush with anger.
.
But when Feng Yuan and others looked at Su Xing's face, they were surprised to find that Su Xing, who was also a disciple of Yuyang Taoist Academy, had an extremely calm expression and a faint smile on his lips.
Su Xing put away the rusty sword and said to Feng Yuan:
"Feng Yuan, can you join me in a fight?"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar and was extremely shocked.
If everyone hadn't known that Su Xing had just witnessed Feng Yuan's actual combat performance with their own eyes, everyone would have thought that Su Xing was a disciple who didn't know how to be humble.
"The students taught by Yuyang Taoist Academy are becoming less and less self-aware."
Among the crowd, a respected disciple sighed softly.
Hearing what this person said, everyone on the side also agreed.
Looking towards the competition stage, Feng Yuan was shocked for a while after hearing Su Xing's words, and then sneered, "Why should I accept the invitation to fight from a murderer?"
As he said that, he glanced at Li Feiyao behind Su Xing who was stamping his feet angrily, "Besides, in terms of seniority in cultivation, you Su Xing have to address Li Feiyao as senior sister. Li Feiyao can't even take one of my moves, so where did you Su Xing come from?"
Do you have the guts to challenge me?"
But when Su Xing heard this, he smiled faintly and looked sideways at the witnesses on the side.
"Feng Yuan is now a ranked disciple on the Earth Ranking. According to the sect's rules, he cannot refuse my invitation to fight, right?"
The witness nodded, indicating that Su Xing was indeed right.
But he added: "Although Feng Yuan cannot refuse to fight, he can choose the time for your competition. This time needs to be within a week after the invitation is sent."
The witness's words suddenly awakened everyone present, and they remembered that according to theory, Feng Yuan could no longer refuse Su Xing's invitation to fight at this time.
At this time, they recalled Su Xing's faint smile just now, and wondered whether Su Xing had been waiting for the witnesses to announce the results of the competition, so that he could challenge Feng Yuan after he entered the rankings?
Where did he get the courage?
There is such a question in people's minds.
After seeing Feng Yuan's performance in actual combat, everyone is very convinced that Feng Yuan will definitely occupy a representative spot of Xuanguang Taoist Academy in this demon-slaying event.
And Su Xing?
This person who was deprived of the sect's resources by the Law Enforcement Hall had been left alone on Xiaozhu Peak for two months. How could he compete with Feng Yuan?
But at this time, Feng Yuan thought that it was a great insult for Su Xing to challenge him so brazenly. If Su Xing was not taught a lesson, it would really be a disgrace to his reputation as a disciple of Xuanguang Taoist Academy.
"Oh, for the sword you blocked for Li Feiyao, you should repay it with yourself."
Feng Yuan smiled fiercely at Su Xing and turned to look at the witness, "Brother Jiang, let's arrange the duel today. Anyway, it won't take long."
The witness nodded, announced the two sides again for a while, and gave Feng Yuan some time to rest.
Sensing that Li Feiyao seemed a little worried, Su Xing nodded to her, cast a firm look, and the girl immediately walked off the competition stage.
After Feng Yuan took a Peiyuan Pill to replenish his vitality, he returned to the competition stage.
Witness Brother Jiang held the flag high, "The two sides in this competition are Su Xing of Yuyang Taoist Academy and Feng Yuan of Xuanguang Taoist Academy."
"The competition begins!"
The moment the flag waved down, a dazzling light flashed into people's eyes. Feng Yuan quickly pulled out his long sword, and the red hellfire pattern suddenly lit up on the blade.
As the energy of the hellfire pattern condensed, a fireball containing huge energy appeared on the edge of the long sword.
The next moment, Feng Yuan raised his sword, and then swung it hard at Su Xing.
"boom!"
The fireball tore through the air, making piercing and deafening sounds in the air, and flew quickly towards Su Xing with a momentum that burned the world.
Looking to Su Xing's side, he saw a man in yellow robe slowly pulling out a rusty sword. The harsh sound of rust rubbing against the scabbard echoed again, and merged with the roar of the fireball, causing many people to immediately cover their heads.
ear.
The next moment, he saw Su Xing facing the fireball with a calm expression. He stood on the spot and slashed hard at the fireball flying towards him.
The nameless rusty sword fell rapidly from high to low. In a moment, a powerful sword wind burst out from the blade of the rusty sword, forcing everyone to take a few steps back.
In front of everyone's eyes, the rusty sword blade collided with the fireball. In just the blink of an eye, the fireball was split into two pieces and disappeared into the air.
The next moment, a sword shadow suddenly appeared on the surface of Feng Yuan's fair and slender neck.
At some point, the rusty sword that everyone laughed at was already placed across Feng Yuan's neck.
A gust of evil wind blew by, waking everyone up from the scene of fighting.
After regaining consciousness, people saw the yellow-robed Su Xing standing beside the rusty sword.
"Man and sword unite!"
Under the competition stage, the eyes of the highly respected senior brother twitched, and he murmured this sentence in shock.
He stood on the ground, his body as stiff as a wooden man.
It was this sentence that made others immediately realize why they could only see the rusty sword at first...
That's precisely because Su Xing and the Spirit Sword have become one, reaching the state where the person is the sword and the sword is the person!
On the competition stage, Feng Yuan was sweating profusely, and the tight clothes behind his back were already soaked with sweat.
His eyes were wide open, and although his mouth was wide open, he did not dare to breathe at all, for fear that the movement of his Adam's apple would touch the rusty sword.
"In this competition, Yuyang Taoist Academy, Su Xing wins! According to the sect's rules, Su Xing will become the new candidate number 49 on the Earth Ranking."
At this time, the witnesses on the side announced the result of the competition.
"Xuanguang Taoist Temple is nothing more than that."
Su Xing glanced at Feng Yuan coldly. After putting away the rusty sword, he suddenly made a fist with his right hand and hit Feng Yuan hard three inches below his abdomen.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Feng Yuan's body flew heavily to the ground in the distance like a fired cannonball.
When everyone saw this scene, they all swallowed their saliva in confusion.
Because they knew that after this punch, Feng Yuan would have to lie in bed for at least several months.
The demon-slaying event is approaching, and Xuanguang Taoist Academy may lose a suitable candidate because of this.
