Chapter 33 - Defeating Lu Hong, showing off your abilities!Puff.
Originally, Gao Bufan was already injured by Ling Dao"s kick, but after hearing the surrounding voices, and seeing the looks in everyone"s eyes, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was the dignified ninth senior brother, yet he was defeated by a nameless n.o.body in the outer sect disciples" compet.i.tion. This was truly embarra.s.sing to him.Even the elders had an expression as if they had seen a ghost. They thought that they had good judgement, but they never expected that they were completely wrong this time. He originally thought that Ling Dao was someone who would be eliminated in the first round of the tournament, but he never expected that he would actually be able to defeat Gao Bufan, who was ranked ninth.
"Good!" Great! He didn"t expect that he would unknowingly reach this step. "Looks like there is hope for the top ten this time. If I can become one of the top ten, then I can acknowledge a powerful elder as my master!"The person who was most happy for Ling Dao was Jiang Ren. Jiang Zhong told him to take good care of Ling Dao, but unfortunately, she didn"t have that ability. Don"t just look at the fact that he was also an elder of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, but compared to the other elders, his position was far inferior.
"Hmph, that brat was brought in by Jiang Ren, right? "I never thought that he would actually be so lucky this time to find such an outstanding youth!"
Ling Dao had already displayed the strength of a top ten outer disciple, so these elders naturally had to take him seriously. If Ling Dao was just an ordinary disciple, they would be happy for a strong A fleshly body realm martial artist to appear inside.
Unfortunately, Ling Dao was brought in by Jiang Ren, and from the looks of it, he had a good relationship with him. These elders would suppress and bully Jiang Ren, and they would naturally not allow powerful disciples to appear in Jiang Ren"s life, they wanted him to never be able to rise again!
"Next match, let"s have that brat fight Lu Hong!"
An elder said with a sneer. The strength Ling Dao displayed did indeed make them extremely surprised, but it was only the seventh or seventh place strength he displayed. If Lu Hong were to make a move, Ling Dao would definitely lose. After all, Lu Hong was the Fifth Senior Brother.
After hearing this news, Jiang Ren was extremely furious. Allowing Lu Hong to fight Ling Dao was definitely arranged by the elders who were against him. The meaning of the elders was clear, they wanted to kick Ling Dao out of the top ten.
"Yi, I didn"t expect that my opponent would be a new disciple. It"s not bad to arrange for Li Shengxiong and Li Shengxiong to be together, that fellow is not qualified at all! "Lu Hong was also only a sixteen year old youth, and amongst the outer sect disciples, he was the one with the lowest profile. However, no one dared to underestimate him, because the younger one was, the greater one"s potential would be. It had been some time since he became the fifth senior. His strength was clearly much stronger than before.
"I"ve seen your battles. Your strength isn"t bad. "It"s a pity that you met me so early. Otherwise, you might have been able to make it into the top ten!"There were only six people that Lu Hong took seriously, namely Xia Xinyao, Teng Shaofeng, Teng Shaofeng, Wei Jingshan, Li Shengxiong, and Xie Linger. Lu Hong didn"t care why Ling Dao was his opponent; his mission was to defeat Ling Dao.
"Top ten?" Heh … My goal is not to be in the top ten! Take out your sword! "
In the previous battles, Ling Dao had already perfected the current sword techniques. In other words, he no longer needed to fight with his opponents one by one. This method would not be able to be improved forever. Now was the time for him to show himself!
The Vice Sect Master Zhuang Xin had long since said that the sect would pay a great price to nurture them no matter how much potential they displayed. Ling Dao naturally did not plan to remain ordinary for his entire life. He still had things he needed to do, and he needed to possess unparalleled strength.
"Good, how arrogant! I hope you have the qualifications to be arrogant! "Lu Hong raised his eyebrows, yet, he was slightly displeased with Ling Dao"s att.i.tude. However, after Ling Dao finished speaking, it was as if Ling Dao had become a completely different person. The him from before was like a rusty sword, but now the rust had completely disappeared, revealing a shocking sharpness! Standing in front of Lu Hong, it was as if he was not a youth, but instead a sharp divine sword!
"Crimson Fire Sword!"
Since he had already decided to take action, Lu Hong naturally would not waste any more time. He pulled out his sword. Unlike the others, his sword was a fiery red. Clearly, he had used some other sword casting material.
As Lu Hong brandished his sword, the temperature of the area seemed to increase. As Lu Hong"s opponent, Ling Dao"s senses were naturally the clearest. What Lu Hong was waving was not a sword, but a wave of fire. The scorching waves of air seemed to want to burn Ling Dao to a crisp.
"Clang!"Seeing the incoming sword, Ling Dao also instantly unsheathed his sword, and then unsheathed it. The sword in his hand, was like a spirit serpent, rushing towards Lu Hong"s sword. The two swords collided in midair, causing a large amount of sparks to fly.
"Scarlet Ox Sword!"Lu Hong took three steps back and used a different sword technique. The long sword in his hand continued to attack. In front of him, it was as if a majestic bull had appeared as he crazily charged towards Ling Dao.
"Moo!"
Weak voices came out from the compet.i.tion grounds, and Lu Hong continued to move closer to Ling Dao. His movements became faster and faster, and the bullfight became even fiercer. If it was an opponent with Gao Bufan"s strength, he would definitely be sent flying by the bull fight, and could even be heavily injured."That kid is done for. As expected of the fifth senior brother. His sword art is so much stronger than ours." "If we were to meet fifth senior brother, I"m afraid we would be defeated in one move!"
"He should be proud to have lost to fifth senior brother"s sword." "After all, we don"t even have the qualifications to fight with Fifth Brother. At any rate, he is still able to fight with Fifth Brother for so long!"
Just as these outer sect disciples were chatting loudly, Ling Dao was reading the sword. This time, it was different from the previous time. Ling Dao slowly raised his sword above his head and then slashed down. He could only think of one sword!
"Kill!"
Ling Dao shouted loudly as he slashed the sword downwards. It was as if the wings of a vermillion sparrow had cut through three mountains and five mountains. The sword in his hand was only an ordinary sword. But at this time, it was like a supreme divine sword, releasing an endless amount of sharp energy!
Just one sword attack had caused the air in the arena to explode, causing sand and dust to fly and dust to fly around chaotically. The fiery-red bull fighting was instantly split in half by this sword. No matter how many strikes Lu Hong made, they were all forcibly destroyed by Ling Dao"s sword."You"ve lost!"
The sword in Ling Dao"s hand chopped down, and when the sword blade was less than three feet away from Lu Hong"s face, it finally stopped. If Ling Dao did not stop, Lu Hong would definitely die. This battle had exceeded everyone"s expectations, Ling Dao had won!
If the reason why he defeated Gao Bufan earlier was just to make people feel that Ling Dao"s strength was not bad. But now that Ling Dao had defeated Lu Hong, it made people feel that his strength was somewhat outrageous. Lu Hong was the fifth senior brother, how could he be defeated so easily?
