Chapter 49 – Exchange (3)
Like the Xuan Dao Sect disciples, the Heng Yue Sect disciples had all joined in the past 20 years and had never seen such a bloody scene before.
They all fell silent and felt uneasy in their hearts.
Sect Head Huang Long’s expression remained sullen. He was silent for a long time. He could easily tell that Liu Feng was at the 6th Layer, but he hadn’t expected him to possess such powerful techniques. His water screen was impenetrable unless the attacker was at least at the 8th Layer.
It was only the first round, and it was already like this. There was bitterness in his heart. The Heng Yue Sect had truly fallen. He looked at his fellow disciples and saw that they all had bitter expressions on their faces.
Sun Dazhu sucked in a breath of cold air. “Bastard! A disciple is even stronger than me. How could the Xuan Dao Sect have such a disciple? Why can’t I be this lucky?”
Wang Lin stared intently at Liu Feng. He clearly saw what had happened. Even though he could see Liu Feng’s cultivation base while using the water screen, Wang Lin was still shocked by the technique.
Xuan Dao Sect Elder Ouyang smiled and said loudly, “Friend Huang Long, in this second round, it is your turn to send out a disciple first.”
Huang Long’s gaze swept over every inner disciple. Each disciple lowered their head, hoping not to be chosen.
Seeing this, Huang Long became furious. Just as he was about to speak, Sun Hao gritted his teeth and said, “Sect Head, even if this disciple isn’t a genius, I’m willing to fight in the second round.”
The expressions of the several elders all changed, and Elder Xu frowned and said, “Sun Hao, you are only at the 4th layer, don’t mess around!”
Sun Hao hesitated for a moment and said, “Disciple… disciple has a new technique. Even if I can’t win, I can still make them look bad.” He thought to himself, “Right now, no one wants to leave, so if I go forward now, I can leave a good impression with the sect head. Even if I can’t win with this stink bomb, I won’t look bad. Sorry, Brother Li Shan, I bought this from you and now I’m using it on you guys. I guess it could be called karma.”
In the past few days, he felt he had gained a good grasp of how to use the stink bomb. He had tried it himself and failed, but after meeting Brother Li Shan, he finally succeeded a few times. Although, due to time constraints, he hadn’t had time to practice further, he felt that with a few tries, he would be able to do it.
Huang Long pondered for a moment and sighed. He nodded and said, “You may go. Let me see your new technique.”
Sun Hao straightened his body and stepped onto the stage. He said, “Heng Yue Sect disciple Sun Hao requests guidance from the Xuan Dao Sect.”
When Li Shan saw Sun Hao, his lungs nearly exploded from laughter. When he saw Elder Ouyang about to point out a disciple, he immediately stepped forward and said, “Elder, disciple Li Shan is willing to come forward and spar with him.” He even winked as he spoke.
Li Shan was a disciple that gave Elder Ouyang a headache, but Ouyang also knew that Li Shan was very cunning and would not do anything to harm him. Elder Ouyang knew that if Li Shan was willing to come forward, he was 100% confident in himself, so he let him go.
Li Shan happily climbed onto the stage. His heart nearly exploded with joy. He thought, “Oh Sun Hao, Sun Hao, you brought this on yourself.”
When Sun Hao saw Li Shan appear, his expression became strange.
Li Shan said loudly, “Brother Sun Hao, come here and show me your latest technique. I, Li Shan, will stand here and receive your attack.”
Sun Hao hesitated for a moment. He had already reached the level of using flying words. His hands formed a seal, and a red sword quickly flew out and hovered around him, emitting a cold light.
“Go!” The flying sword shot towards Li Shan, and Sun Hao took advantage of this opportunity to release several stink bombs. He shouted, “Look at my new technique!”
Li Shan laughed out loud. He easily dodged the flying swords and thought to himself, “Explode!”
The stink bomb in Sun Hao’s hand exploded violently before he even threw it. A foul odor spread throughout the surroundings. Sun Hao stood there, covered in black ash, dumbfounded.
He didn’t understand why this stink bomb exploded before he even threw it. Had he used too much force earlier?
Li Shan sighed and said, “Brother Sun Hao’s move is too powerful. What’s it called? Self-destruction? I told you before, you have to be careful with stink bombs, but you used too much force to grip them and they exploded.”
All the Xuan Dao Sect disciples burst out laughing and jeers could be heard.
Even the Heng Yue Sect followers wanted to laugh, but they didn’t dare because it might anger the elders.
Huang Long waved his hand angrily. A strong wind blew away the stench and even sent the stunned Sun Hao flying from Pine Peak back to Heng Yue Peak.
Elder Ouyang smiled and said, “That Sun Hao misused his technique, so we don’t know his true strength. Let’s call it a draw.” After he finished speaking, he gave Li Shan an approving look.
Huang Long said gloomily, “A loss is a loss. How can it be a draw? Continue.”
Elder Ouyang laughed and said, “Not inferior to the greatest sect 500 years ago. Xu Mu, come forth!”
A disciple from the Xuan Dao Sect emerged. He was around 24 or 25 years old. He clasped his hands on the stage and said nothing.
Huang Long didn’t summon his disciples, but took out a piece of jade and gently crushed it. As the jade shattered, a flash of blue light appeared on the stage. Three people walked out from the shining blue light.
These three people were wearing purple clothes. When the three of them appeared, they released an extremely strong pressure that shocked the followers inside.
Elder Ouyang’s facial expression changed slightly and he carefully examined the three of them.
The middle-aged man standing behind the Xuan Dao Sect suddenly turned his head towards them. His eyes lit up and revealed a fighting intent.
When the three men appeared, they stared coldly at the crowd. One of the middle-aged men, in his forties, said, “Xuan Dao Sect? Hmph, 20 years ago, I, Lu Song, lost, but this time, I won’t lose.”
Wang Lin’s pupils shrank. Among the three people, he only recognized one person: the second apprentice brother Zhang Kuang.
Huang Long said clearly, “Lu Song, this time, you are the winner.”
Lu Song nodded. The other two people beside him stepped off the stage and stood beside Huang Long.
“Lu Song! Fifth senior brother Lu Song! I heard he was at the 6th layer 20 years ago. This time, our Heng Yue Sect will definitely win!”
