Voices of discussion arose, and the smiles on the faces of the Xia Family members had disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Xiahou looked extremely displeased at the situation below and then said, "Ridiculous, being part of Hidden Dragon Sect but using swordsmanship of another sect!"
"Xiahou, if trash talk could help Xia Lanshan win the match, then the words you said just now would be enough to make Xia Lanshan top the Newcomer List." Bainian Hanshan felt a sudden clarity of the situation and secretly rejoiced.
Of course, what felt even better was the expression of the Xia Family.
Originally, they smiled like corpses, disgustingly.
Like a petty person’s triumph.
Now not only were the smiles gone, but they also wore bitter expressions.
This scene was truly satisfying!
Bu Ling also laughed and said from the side, "The outcome is settled."
"Xiahou, next time, don’t have your people overly focus on cultivating Spirit Bodies. Why turn themselves into punching bags for no reason... Sometimes they should practice the Vein Technique as well. You might enjoy getting hit, but the family’s descendants might not. Now that the defense of the Barbaric Demon Spirit Body is ineffective, Xia Lanshan doesn’t even have a single counter-move... This is a lesson."
Bainian Hanshan had a look of concern on his face.
But this expression of concern had far more damage than one of disdain or mockery.
Xiahou snorted coldly, stood up directly, just like the Hidden Dragon Sect people leaving at the opening ceremony of the centennial event back in the day.
Bainian Hanshan also stood up, and as Xiahou was about to leave, he said, "Xiahou, it seems your Xia family’s Barbaric Demon Spirit Body might have to be abandoned by the next generation... A Barbaric Demon Spirit Body at the Great Success Realm can’t even block a single sword."
Bu Ling followed and said, "This Swordsmanship must be promoted, and once we return to the sect, I, the old man, will call on all disciples to practice the sword."
The two of them exchanged words, making Xiahou’s eyebrows twitch in anger.
"Don’t be happy too soon. A fluke once, can there be a second time?" Xiahou coldly looked ahead, unwilling to pay any more attention to the Hidden Dragon Sect people. But just as he was about to leave, a scream suddenly pierced the sky!
Xiahou glanced sideways and looked down, Xia Lanshan had already collapsed in a pool of blood, with Bu Lan’s saber still in his chest.
However, his gaze was only focused on Bainian Xiang and the returning sword.
It was that sword which broke the uncertain match.
It was that sword which placed the fruits of victory right in front of the Hidden Dragon Sect.
It was also the only Vein Technique that could completely disregard the defense of the Barbaric Demon Spirit Body.
The Hidden Dragon Sect’s saber, whether it was Yellow Level Top-Grade or Profound Level Lower Grade Vein Skill, could not break the defense of the Barbaric Demon Spirit Body. But Bainian Xiang’s sword could directly pierce through the defense of the Barbaric Demon Spirit Body and injure the flesh directly.
"The four of you, admit defeat or die, choose one," Bainian Xiang’s voice accompanied.
Upon hearing these words, Xiahou’s eyebrows trembled instantly.
Bainian Xiang had just asked the same question earlier.
Xia Lanshan did not respond!
So he died.
Upon hearing this, the four hurriedly called out, "Concede! Concede!"
What a joke.
Losing would just be a waste of two fights anyway.
If they didn’t concede, it could mean death.
They stood on the Xia Family’s side, and the opponents were none other than the mortal enemy, the Hidden Dragon Sect.
Bainian Xiang continued, "Then roll out of here."
The four exchanged glances, and upon seeing the sword floating in front of Bainian Xiang, their hearts dropped. They had no choice but to lie on the ground and roll out of the combat area like barrels. Laughter erupted from all sides.
Everyone knew why Bainian Xiang did this.
This smack was to Xia Family’s face!
This made the Xia Family far more uncomfortable than killing someone from the Ancient Moon Pavilion.
Following this, the gaze of tens of thousands turned towards the Floating Island to see Xiahou’s expression at this time. The distance between two places was negligible to those who could enter the Secret Realm to watch the match.
Not to mention those whose eyes could clearly see.
Even those above, as long as they concentrated, could easily hear the conversations.
When locked by everyone’s gaze, Xiahou turned away extremely indifferently, yet didn’t leave without a word, departing with disgrace. Once he turned around, he raised his voice and said, "It’s just one victory, making it seem as if the Hidden Dragon Sect has already won first place on the rookie list. Moreover, it’s just a win over one of my Xia Family’s people, and that person’s performance was rather clumsy on this occasion. Is this really worth getting complacent about?"
"Exactly! Is this really worth getting complacent about? If you’re truly bold and capable, dare you accept a challenge from Nanmen Chang or Xiaye?" A Xia Family elder behind Xiahou immediately responded, displaying an expression of disdain.
Following this, voices of agreement erupted within the Xia Family, "Not even in the top 1000 of the rookie list, can any of you stand firm this time, and is this worth celebrating?"
Hearing these words, the onlookers who initially planned to watch the Xia Family’s reaction couldn’t help but shake their heads and chuckle wryly.
Indeed, the Hidden Dragon Sect had only won one match.
Moreover, it wasn’t against a top genius from the Xia Family.
"Alas, thought they’d make a comeback, but it turned around again."
"Their foundation isn’t as strong as the Xia Family, nothing can be done about it."
"Feeling sorry for the Hidden Dragon Sect."
Discussion arose again.
Seeing the wind shift, Xiahou naturally turned back, his face once again showing a hint of proud arrogance.
Then he said to the two teams of Xia Ye and Nanmen Chang beside him, "Send the challenge letter to them!"
With that said, he looked back towards the Hidden Dragon Sect people behind him with interest.
Especially when he looked at Bainian Hanshan, the previous anger and coldness had completely disappeared.
In its place was a smug smile.
As if saying to Bainian Hanshan: Without strength, you’ve won by luck once, but you’ll still lose face.
When the top talents of the Xia Family, Xia Ye and Nanmen Chang, each picked up a challenge letter and walked down, people watching outside the combat area on the Floating Island burst into laughter.
"The Xia Family’s move is perfect!"
"The Hidden Dragon Sect just regained a bit of face, and now it’s about to lose it again?"
"Accepting it might prevent losing face, but they’re sure to lose, refusing will make them look cowardly, especially with thousands watching. If word gets out, it won’t be long before all Four-star Giant Influences know about it."
In the midst of these conversations, Bu Ling panicked and hurriedly asked Bainian Hanshan in a low voice, "Sect Leader, what should we do?"
Bainian Hanshan was just about to speak when Xiahou interrupted.
"Ah!"
"If you want to delay, it’s fine, either of my Xia Family teams can wait."
