Several people were stunned at the same time. They originally wanted to introduce their names and strengths to show respect, but Yi Xingtian didn't even give them this opportunity.
Although they knew that their strength was not as good as Yi Xingtian's, they were still furious at being looked down upon. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. This Yi Xingtian was simply too arrogant.
"Please teach me!" The young man in the lead suppressed his anger and drew his sword.
Yi Xingtian slowly extended his right hand. The girl on his left stepped forward, untied the long sword from her back, and respectfully handed it to him. The other girl took out a piece of pure white silk and carefully wrapped it around the hilt.
Afterwards, Yi Xingtian took the long sword, and the two girls bowed and stepped back, standing behind her with their hands slightly lowered. Their respectful demeanor was nothing like that of a sixth-rank swordsman, and they looked no different from the personal maids of any wealthy family's daughters.
As for Zhan Li and Meng Xun, they stood far behind the two girls, as if they did not exist.
Seeing Yi Xingtian's behavior, the audience was in an uproar. A swordsman has the dignity of a swordsman. No matter how strong they are, they should show their opponents enough respect during a competition. But looking at Yi Xingtian's appearance, it is clear that she has no respect for her opponents at all. It seems that she feels that fighting with them is dirtying her hands.
Disrespecting her opponents was one thing, but she didn't even have the slightest respect for her own people. Shi Jian and Shi Yin, though she was her maid, were at least sixth-rank sword masters, and their combined attack skills were said to be unrivaled. Yet, in front of her, they were completely treated as mere sword-carrying girls.
As for Zhan Li and Meng Xun, she didn't even look at them and completely ignored them.
Arrogant, really too arrogant.
At this moment, everyone lost all their good feelings towards Yi Xingtian, and there were even boos from the audience.
Not to mention the others, even Mu Hanyan frowned. She had always believed that everyone around her was her partner, friend, or even family. So, from the moment she first met Hua Yue Zirong, she had never treated them as servants. She also knew that if she wanted to go further on the path of cultivation, these friends who could trust her with her life and death were indispensable.
Although Hua Yue and the others are still a little lacking in strength, Mu Hanyan believes that one day they will become her strongest backing and even the greatest guarantee of her life.
Naturally, she could not agree with Yi Xingtian's arrogance of ignoring his opponents and partners.
Yi Xingtian obviously didn't care about the opinions of outsiders. He turned a deaf ear to the boos and walked forward with an indifferent expression.
Behind her, Shi Jian, Shi Yin, Zhan Li Meng Xun and others did not move at all, still standing there respectfully.
"Could it be that she wants to challenge the five opponents alone?" Everyone was surprised.
You know, although the opponents are weaker than her, the gap is only one or two levels. Where does she get her confidence from?
"Kill!" The five opponents were completely enraged by her contempt, and they slashed with their swords at the same time.
Five sword beams broke through the air, and even the sunlight above was dimmed.
Many people in the audience had changed their expressions. Although they did not agree with Yi Xingtian's arrogance, she was a rare and beautiful woman after all, and they did not want to see her die like this.
Yi Xingtian still had an indifferent look on his face, and slowly unsheathed his sword.
"Buzz!" Amid the dragon's roar, an invisible murderous intent covered the sky and enveloped the five people opposite.
The huge training ground suddenly became cold, and everyone's expression changed drastically. Although the murderous intent mainly enveloped the five disciples of Jianyin Academy on the stage, the wisps of murderous intent that emanated from them still made them feel the fear from deep within their hearts.
The five disciples on the stage were covered in cold sweat, their faces turned pale, and through their panicked eyes, everyone could see the fear in their hearts.
The five sword beams also condensed in mid-air and could not move forward even an inch.
Yi Xingtian walked forward slowly with a long sword in his hand.
Every time she took a step forward, the five men on the opposite side took a step back. They didn't want to retreat, but the hidden power of the other party's long sword and the terrifying killing intent that made them unable to resist forced them to retreat.
Several people gritted their teeth, trying to keep their footing, but they were completely unable to control their bodies, let alone the growing fear in their hearts.
Finally, several people retreated to the edge of the competition stage. The five of them were all covered in cold sweat, with thin streaks of blood oozing from the corners of their mouths. It was obvious that they had reached the final stage of exhaustion.
Yi Xingtian pressed down lightly with his sword, and with a few muffled "bang bang bang bang" sounds, the five people flew heavily out of the competition stage, spitting blood, and couldn't get up for a long time.
"It's not even a match for it." Yi Xingtian said lightly, threw the sword behind him, and then walked down the competition stage.
Behind her, a young girl caught the sword steadily, wiped it carefully, then sheathed it and followed her off the competition stage.
Everyone in the audience was stunned. Although Yi Xingtian was still as cold and arrogant as ever, no one dared to boo. Everyone was deeply shocked by her strength.
Mu Hanyan looked at Yi Xingtian's receding figure, and her expression became solemn.
No wonder Yi Xingtian was so arrogant; she had every reason to be. She had easily defeated five elite disciples from the Royal Sword Academy, all by herself. The others had no chance to even fight her, save for helping her carry and polish her swords.
Mu Hanyan even suspected that she brought those people onto the stage just to make up the numbers.
"The third match, Shangyue Royal Sword Sound Academy, Jing Jianjue, Qin Ba, Liang Qian, Lu Zhenhuan, Pei Qiuyi, against Shangyue Royal Sword Sound Academy..." The referee's voice sounded again, dragging everyone's minds back to reality.
Mu Hanyan also withdrew her gaze and looked at Jing Jianjue and others who walked onto the stage.
Yi Xingtian is indeed very strong, but Mu Hanyan will not ignore Jing Jianjue because of him. Even her grandmother pays special attention to this guy and has always regarded him as Mu Hanyan's biggest opponent. How can Mu Hanyan dare to be careless?
"The competition begins." The referee wasted no time and announced the start as soon as both sides came on the field.
"Clang!" The young man standing opposite Jing Jian drew out his sword first, releasing a majestic aura from his body.
"Eighth level swordsman, actually an eighth level swordsman!" Everyone looked at the young man in surprise.
The other four behind him also drew their swords one by one, releasing their auras simultaneously. Besides the two sixth-rank sword masters, there were also two seventh-rank sword masters.
No one expected that the team of disciples from Jianyin Academy would be so powerful.
