The battle between Yang Xiu and Xu Feng attracted many people.
To the uninformed, these two are a symbol of discord within the Holy Land.
Both were disciples of the Holy Land, and their talents seemed to be roughly equal.
Even rogue cultivators are human, and they also love to gossip.
Moreover, they also wanted to know what so-called geniuses and prodigies were really like in private.
They both seem to be brave and aggressive.
Xu Feng appeared calm on the surface.
Yang Xiu, however, was somewhat angry.
He felt like he was being treated like a monkey on display, and it was all Xu Feng's fault, completely forgetting that he was the one who had been aggressive first.
Xu Feng was also annoyed when he saw Yang Xiu being unreasonable and insisting on competing with him.
"Since Senior Brother insists on this, then as your junior brother, I humbly request your guidance."
This is where Xu Feng's cleverness lies.
First, Yang Xiu is elevated to a high position, so that others will see that Yang Xiu was actually being unreasonable first.
Although cultivators only value strength, sometimes it's also necessary to act reasonably. Otherwise, who would feel comfortable associating with them?
That's the benefit of fame.
In the story, Yang Xiu ends up being betrayed and abandoned by everyone, and is then killed by Xu Feng.
After the killing, Xu Feng still gained a good reputation and inherited most of Yang Xiu's wealth and connections.
Of course, Yang Xiu didn't care about these things at this time.
His thinking was simple: if I'm strong enough, why should I care what others think?
If he cares about what others think, then his cultivation of Taoism is in vain, isn't it?
Yang Xiu looked at Xu Feng, wanting to say something.
However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of something and said calmly, "I will let everyone know that you are not worthy of being a disciple of the Holy Land."
He grinned maliciously and said, "If you know what's good for you, stay away from Daoist Ziyang."
Xu Feng roared in fury: "You're asking for it!"
He also had ideas about his master.
However, Xu Feng was concerned about his reputation, and at least for now, he didn't want anyone to know that he had such thoughts about his master.
In the world of cultivation, there are many examples of master-disciple relationships.
The reason is simple: cultivators live for too long.
Compared to the vast lifespans of cultivators, the difference in lifespan is negligible. And because of their cultivation practices, many cultivators retain their youthful appearance for a considerable period of time.
However, Xu Feng values his reputation.
To be precise, he was rather hypocritical.
But no matter how hypocritical he may be, Xu Feng is still a cultivator after all, so he naturally wouldn't back down at this time.
Otherwise, his Dao heart would be in question.
Those who cultivate the Tao cannot retreat.
You can't pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger; you can't just pretend to be a pig yourself.
Under these circumstances, Xu Feng and Yang Xiu naturally fought side by side.
Xia Muge, however, was somewhat pessimistic about this.
Although Yang Xiu does seem quite assertive and confident now.
However, Xia Muge believed that Xu Feng would definitely have other means to achieve victory.
He didn't know what these methods were for the time being.
But it certainly won't be too bad.
If he wants Yang Xiu to win, he can only rely on his own supernatural abilities.
Just as Xia Muge was pondering how to help Yang Xiu win, the battle between the two began.
As a disciple of the Holy Land, Yang Xiu was naturally no less capable.
He possesses innate sword bone aptitude and has already reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm. Furthermore, he has not taken many medications in his cultivation so far, unlike Tang Ranran, who relied on medications to advance to the Golden Core realm.
In this situation, Yang Xiu is just one step away from reaching the Nascent Soul realm. As for Tang Ranran, without a special opportunity, she will probably only be able to stay before reaching the Nascent Soul realm.
Only when one reaches the Nascent Soul stage can one begin to speak.
Yang Xiu's talent was not bad, and the Holy Land also had many cultivation techniques.
He quickly cornered Xu Feng.
The contest between cultivators was exceptionally fierce, with no back-and-forth exchanges. From the very beginning, he used all his strength, forcing Yang Xiu into a corner.
Many people were in an uproar.
Many rogue cultivators, though also at the Golden Core stage, realized, after a silent comparison, that their Golden Core level was far from genuine.
They silently compared themselves to Yang Xiu and realized that they were very likely no match for Yang Xiu.
This discovery is disheartening.
However, compared to Yang Xiu's aggressive approach, Xu Feng was much more composed.
The contests among cultivators are not held on a single arena; on the contrary, they take place both in the heavens and on earth.
But then they saw him rise on his sword and ride the wind.
Then, the long sword in his hand transformed into a streak of light and immediately stabbed towards Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu's expression changed slightly.
Although he dodged the sword strike, he discovered that Xu Feng actually possessed sword intent.
How is that possible?
The so-called sword intent was something that even he had never cultivated to that level.
Although he does not use the sword as his main means of attack, sword intent itself is one of the great principles. If one can comprehend its mysteries, then let alone the Nascent Soul stage, even the Mahayana stage will not be a problem.
There are many immortals in Kyushu who have achieved immortality through swordsmanship.
Yang Xiu was somewhat jealous.
On what grounds?
Even though his talent was almost the same as Xu Feng's, why was it Xu Feng who comprehended sword intent first?
Although he did not insist on swordsmanship, he believed that he could advance to the Nascent Soul stage without comprehending sword intent.
However, he had little confidence in the realms beyond the Nascent Soul stage.
Does this mean he'll have to live in Xu Feng's shadow for the rest of his life?
With this in mind, his attacks became even more ferocious.
Xu Feng's lips curled up slightly.
