The opponents will be decided by drawing lots. This time, Lingyan Pavilion will face Biyun Pavilion, and Guiyi Tower will face Haotian Mansion.
In fact, this draw is meaningless for Lingyan Pavilion; the current situation is undoubtedly one against three.
The five people who appeared from Lingyan Pavilion were: Yin Tiantian, Xiao Fan, Shen Mengying, Yao Jianfeng, and Zheng Wanbing.
Shen Qianjun said to the five of them:
"The Foundation Establishment stage is up to you few. Wanbing, you go first and try to make a name for yourself. Xiaoying and Jianfeng will follow, and Xiaofan and Tiantian will be the last ones to cover for you."
You all need to be careful and watch your safety. Although we agreed to stop short of serious injury, swords and spears have no eyes, and it wouldn't be good if you got hurt, especially Xiao Fan and Tian Tian. You came here to help, so you need to protect yourselves.
"yes."
The group agreed.
Qin Feng listened quietly to Shen Qianjun's arrangements without offering any opinions.
Although Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan were eager to try, they obediently followed Shen Qianjun's instructions.
On the other side, Biyunxuan also had a team of five consisting of three men and two women: Wu Lisheng, Liu Guangshun, Liang Shuiying, Tian Xiaomei, and Zeng Yunpeng from the Fengqing faction. This was quite interesting.
Zeng Yunpeng was somewhat surprised to see Yin Tiantian on the list of contestants, but in the blink of an eye, he turned a mocking expression and stared at her with hostility.
Yin Tiantian's lips curled into a playful smile as well, "If I were to face him, I would definitely teach him a lesson and personally avenge myself."
"Let's begin," Xu Zhenyang's voice rang out again.
The first battle for a Foundation Establishment stage disciple.
Zheng Wanbing of Lingyan Pavilion faced off against Wu Lisheng of Biyun Pavilion.
Both of them were at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Zheng Wanbing could be said to be the strongest among the Foundation Establishment disciples of Lingyan Pavilion. Shen Qianjun also hoped that he would gain momentum in the first battle.
Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan are outsiders after all. If the people from Lingyan Pavilion can win, that will be their true skill.
Zheng Wanbing used a sword, as did most of the people in Lingyan Pavilion. The sword light was cold and sharp, and their aura continued to rise, spreading outwards, their clothes fluttering.
Wu Lisheng used a spear, a long spear with a red tassel hanging from the tip. The spearhead gleamed coldly, and the red tassel swayed in the wind. He held the spear, his back straight, looking very heroic and imposing.
The two stood facing each other, both imposing and equally matched in terms of presence.
Battle is imminent.
Looking at the two people on the stage, full of energy and high spirits, Xiao Fan felt extremely excited and really wanted to go up on stage and have a match with them.
A flash of cold light appeared, then the spear shot out like a dragon.
It was Wu Lisheng of Biyunxuan who launched the attack.
The saying "an inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous" applies equally to the world of cultivators.
A cold glint appeared at the tip of the spear. The spear's momentum was too fierce for Zheng Wanbing to withstand head-on, nor was it necessary. He lightly flicked the green blade in his hand and slightly tilted his body to easily dodge the fierce attack.
Clang, clang, clang.
Once Wu Lisheng gained the upper hand, he was relentless. His attack momentum did not slow down at all; on the contrary, he accelerated the pace of his attacks, constantly switching between blocking, grabbing, and thrusting with his spear, relentlessly stabbing at Zheng Wanbing.
Seeing that Wu Lisheng had gained the upper hand, Xu Zhenyang complimented Pei Ming, saying, "This guy has good marksmanship, experienced and steady."
"Not at all, I'm far inferior to the disciples of Guiyi Tower," Pei Ming said modestly, though his smugness was written all over his face.
"Hehe, judging from this situation, Lingyan Pavilion is going to lose."
Fortunately, Zheng Wanbing had mastered the Misty Steps well and was also skilled in swordsmanship, so he managed to withstand the attack.
Seeing that Wu Lisheng still wanted to continue, he decisively withdrew and stepped back, allowing the other party to create some distance and give him a chance to catch his breath.
Seeing that he had missed his chance, Wu Lisheng did not continue the pursuit. He stood with his gun in hand, adopting a stance reminiscent of an iron chain railing, and looked at his opponent.
Qin Feng said to Shen Qianjun, "This Zheng Wanbing is not bad. He is calm in the face of danger and knows his own strengths and weaknesses. The disciples of Lingyan Pavilion are not as bad as Elder Shen said."
Shen Qianjun gave a wry smile, "Zheng Wanbing is not bad, but it depends on who he is compared to. Besides, how many Zheng Wanbings do we have in Lingyan Pavilion?"
Ding, ding, ding.
The battle on the battle platform drew everyone's attention.
At this point, Zheng Wanbing launched a counterattack.
Sword energy rained down, indiscriminately covering Wu Lisheng.
Sword energy filled the air as Zheng Wanbing's sword flashed, appearing in various directions to launch attacks on Wu Lisheng.
Despite the interference and help from Jian Yu, Wu Lisheng still felt threatened.
At this moment, Pei Ming of Biyun Pavilion sighed, "The Lingyun Pavilion's unique skills are truly impressive; they pose a great threat when fighting against opponents of the same level."
"Indeed, Elder Pei must have a good way to deal with this."
"There's no good way. We can only concentrate and pay attention to the fluctuations around us. These Foundation Establishment disciples are alright, they haven't learned the essence yet. But that old man Xu Yusong is a real problem."
"Who can argue with that?"
The group sighed, finding Lingyan Pavilion's ethereal steps somewhat perplexing.
The clanging sound drew everyone's attention back to the battle stage.
Zheng Wanbing's elusive movements and excellent Lingyun swordsmanship caused great trouble for Wu Lisheng, who was wielding a long spear, but it was not enough to defeat him.
Gun's style is straightforward and domineering, which puts him at a disadvantage against the unpredictable Zheng Wanbing.
Wu Lisheng was enraged by the beating, and his aura surged, causing a ripple to spread outwards from him.
Suddenly he sensed something amiss, thrust his spear forward, and with a clang, he found Zheng Wanbing's location.
Qin Feng exclaimed, "Truly, a hermit has his own ingenious plan. Although this method is a bit clumsy, it is still a good one."
Shen Qianjun nodded, "That depends on this person's skills. He's expending a lot of energy like this. If he fails a few times, he won't be able to hold on."
