Chapter 274 Challenge
The Sword Sect disciple glanced at her left arm and saw no signs of regeneration. He breathed a sigh of relief and his expression involuntarily relaxed.
Wangxu shook his head in his heart, but would not remind him at this time.
Tao Zi rushed forward with a hammer in hand, and the Sword Sect disciple used the same trick again, trying to break her right arm.
At this moment, her broken arm that fell to the ground suddenly flew into the air and headed straight towards the disciples of the Sword Sect.
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately raised his sword and swung it, and the sword shadow beside Tao Zi disappeared.
The moment the broken arm was cut in two, it exploded.
The disciple of the Sword Sect was caught off guard and spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, Tao Zi's hammer also smashed towards him.
He did not give up immediately, but fought hard and spat out another mouthful of blood.
Watching him fall to the ground, Tao Zi calmly asked, "Do you admit defeat?"
The Sword Sect disciple replied stubbornly, "No."
Just as he was about to get up from the ground again, Tao Zi's hammer hit him again, knocking him unconscious.
The Sword Sect immediately announced the final winner and sent people to carry the disciple away for treatment.
Tao Zi stood on the stage, looking down at Wang Xu, and said slowly, "I won."
Wang Xu suddenly understood what she meant and nodded, "Yes, Jindan stage cultivator, which one do you want to challenge?"
She smiled slightly, her eyes fixed directly on one person - Xu Qianjia.
Seeing her like this, the last-ranked Jindan stage cultivator, who was originally a little worried, widened his eyes in shock.
In front of everyone, Tao Zi said word by word: "I want to challenge Xu Qianjia, the young master of Minglan Sect."
Everyone was in an uproar, but Wangxu remained calm and simply asked, "Are you sure you want to challenge Xu Qianjia?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
Xu Qianjia looked at her coldly and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you really sure?"
Tao Zi's smile deepened: "Of course, Master Xu, I've wanted to do this since the moment your two junior brothers and sisters tried to use the sect's power to pressure others to snatch things from me."
After hearing this, everyone except the three sects and four schools fell silent.
Xu Qianjia frowned. "They were making a deal with you. You didn't agree, and they didn't force you."
He Qianyi's expression flashed with discomfort, and Tao Zi's voice rang out, "He Qianyi's sword was already unsheathed. How can you say there was no coercion? The reason they didn't act was simply because Master Cheng arrived just in time."
His brows furrowed even deeper, and he glanced at He Qianyi with some displeasure. She didn't dare to speak, but pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Seeing her like this, Xu Qianjia understood what was going on and stood up to apologize: "Fellow Daoist, I'm really sorry about this."
Seeing him apologize so readily, everyone knew that this was true, and the look in their eyes when they looked at He Qianyi was a little strange. You know, she has always had a good reputation.
"Master Xu, this incident was not your fault. You don't need to apologize. However, I think that the two of them acting this way are probably due to your support. If that's the case, I have to express my opinion as well."
Hearing this, Li Xiu curled her lips while no one was paying attention.
The implication of this statement was that their arrogance was due to his indulgence, and the responsibility still lay with him.
Xu Qianjia's face darkened as he scolded, "Fellow Daoist Tao, I've already apologized, so please don't be so aggressive!"
Tao Zi looked down at him, unable to stop the mockery in her tone: "Master Xu, if I raised my hammer towards you, or even intended to kill you to steal your treasure, would you be able to get away with just saying sorry?"
"Flimsy talk!"
She sneered and said, "So what, Young Master Xu, do you accept or reject this battle?"
Xu Qianjia was obviously irritated and said coldly, "Of course I agree. Don't regret it."
Tao Zi didn't respond to him, but looked at Wang Xu. He said calmly, "The final competition will be held in three days."
Tao Zi jumped off the competition stage, and Xi Jing immediately came over to support her, glancing vaguely at her left arm which had not yet recovered.
Zhou Qiandan and the others were still standing there, looking dazed. When she saw her looking over, Zhou Qiandan suddenly realized something. Before she could say anything, she smiled and said, "Why don't you go back first?"
There is no reason for them not to respond.
Back inside the inn, many people were crowded into a small room. Xi Jing was the first to ask, "Senior Sister, your hand?"
She soothed him, "It's okay. It's just the aftereffects of the technique. You'll be able to recover tomorrow or tonight."
Zhou Qian said hesitantly, "Techniques... As far as I know, apart from the Punishment Hall, there are very few physical cultivation techniques."
Tao Zi threw out a bait and said with a smile: "There are quite a few physical cultivation relics, but no one knows about them."
Someone's eyes lit up: "Relics!"
She suddenly put away her smile and said seriously, "Everyone, I have completely angered the Young Sect Master today. If you are willing to lend me a hand, I will reward you."
Tao Zi did not use her identity as a physical cultivator to speak, but directly talked about the benefits, although these benefits were quite obscure.
Zhou Qiandan was the first to respond: "Senior Tao, if you need me to do anything, just tell me directly. No need to be so polite."
In the world of cultivating immortals, what matters is strength. As long as it can improve your strength, you can take any risk.
Others also thought of this, but some were still cautious and said, "As long as it doesn't declare war on the Minglan Sect, I have no problem."
Tao Zi laughed and said, "That's true. I don't have the strength to deal with the Ming Lan Sect. At most, I just want to have more people and appear more powerful. This will attract other people's attention and make the Ming Lan Sect wary."
At this point, her tone softened: "If we ever become enemies, you can leave on your own. I won't force you to die."
Zhou Qiandan said with a serious face: "Senior Tao, you are too kind. No matter what others do, I will never abandon Yisan Sect!"
Li Xiu and the little fox looked at each other and were amazed at how quickly this man showed his loyalty.
Look, this is what a smart person is. This is a smart person. He hasn’t even gotten any benefits yet, and others are still hesitating, but he expresses his opinion as if he is one of them.
Tao Zi smiled and spoke a few more words to Zhou Qiandan, and her words implied one thing - anyone who was used by the Yisan Sect would gain something.
At this time, a quarrel broke out where Ming Lanzong lived.
"Brother, why didn't you ask a few more questions? It was clearly because that man said so much nonsense that I drew my sword."
He Qianyi felt extremely uncomfortable when she thought about the looks those people gave her. She was so angry that she started arguing with Xu Qianjia.
Xu Qianjia slammed the table, startling her. He scolded her coldly, "The moment you drew your sword, the fault was yours."
He Qianyi bit her lower lip tightly, not knowing what to do.
Xu Qianjia continued, "The moment she opened her mouth in front of so many people, this matter was destined to be pinned on you. If I didn't apologize, it would have to be pinned on Ming Lan Zong! Fortunately, she later became more aggressive and managed to salvage some of her reputation."
