Xiao Fan and Liang Zichuan of the Li Shui Sect stood facing each other.
The outcome of their battle will determine the final victor among the four forces—Lingyan Pavilion, Guiyi Tower, Biyun Pavilion, and Haotian Mansion—in this round of Foundation Establishment stage competition.
This battle was crucial for them.
Although Shen Qianjun had great confidence in Xiao Fan, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment, his eyes fixed on Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan is now the hope of Lingyan Pavilion.
Xu Zhenyang, the owner of Guiyilou, was also nervous; victory was almost within reach.
He asked the person from Lishui Sect with some uncertainty.
Do you think Liang Ziying can win?
The leader of the Li Shui Sect was an elder at the Nascent Soul stage named Liang Ge, who responded with an enigmatic smile:
"What, does Master Xu have so little confidence in our Liang Zichuan? He is the most outstanding Foundation Establishment disciple of our Li Shui Sect. I'm not bragging, but even a Golden Core cultivator might not be able to win if he suppressed his cultivation to fight him."
Xu Zhenyang looked somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this and explained:
“It’s not that I don’t have confidence in your sect’s disciples, it’s just that this kid named Xiao Fan is a bit strange. He has comprehended the sword intent, and you know that for his peers, it’s like a dimensional attack.”
Liang Ge smiled calmly and looked at Xu Zhenyang, saying, "Oh, so others can comprehend the intent of the sword, but why can't Liang Zichuan of my sect comprehend other intents?"
"What?" Xu Zhenyang stood up abruptly, looking at Liang Ge with surprise and delight. "You mean Liang Zichuan also comprehended the meaning?"
Li Shuizong Liang Ge nodded smugly.
"That's right, otherwise how could he possibly crush the Foundation Establishment disciples in the sect? His sword intent has already reached a minor level of mastery."
"That kid named Xiao Fan just now, the sword intent he displayed was only at the beginner level, what's so scary about him?"
Xu Zhenyang's face lit up with even greater joy; Liang Zichuan of the Lishui Sect had truly given him an unexpected surprise.
He still couldn't quite believe it and didn't understand, "Then why didn't I see him use his sword intent before? He was fighting so fiercely with the people from Haotian Mansion just now?"
Liang Ge smiled and said, "I don't know about that. Geniuses have their own ideas. Maybe he wants to hone his skills, or maybe he feels that the other person is not worthy of him using his sword intent, or something else."
Xu Zhenyang nodded, "What you say makes sense. Then I'll leave this competition to your Li Shui Sect."
"Don't worry, I've watched Liang Zichuan grow up. He's very steady and won't cause any accidents. I hope Master Xu won't forget what he promised us."
"Don't worry, I won't forget you afterwards."
Xu Zhenyang was in a good mood. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease. He then subconsciously looked towards Lingyan Pavilion.
He noticed that Shen Qianjun was also looking at him with a smile. Their eyes met, and he gave a cold laugh.
Everyone felt that their side could win, and everyone hoped that their side could win.
A sword's cry interrupted their thoughts.
On the battle platform, Liang Zichuan had already drawn his long sword, and a sword's cry sounded the horn of attack.
His expression was completely different when facing Xiao Fan compared to when facing the people of Haotian Mansion.
At this moment, he was serious and focused, unlike the relaxed and casual demeanor he displayed when facing the people from Haotian Mansion. He had witnessed Xiao Fan's prowess firsthand and knew that Xiao Fan had already grasped the essence of the sword, making him a genius worthy of his serious attention.
Geniuses have their pride, but that depends on who their opponent is.
If the opponent is a genius even more monstrous than you, what right do you have to be arrogant? Being serious and earnest is the right attitude.
So he didn't hesitate, got into the zone in a second, and launched an attack.
He used his longsword to probe the opponent's strength.
Seeing Liang Zichuan's serious expression, the cold glint of his sword, and his powerful offensive filled Xiao Fan with excitement.
He knew this was the opponent he craved; he didn't know why, he just had this intuition.
Xiao Fan gave a soft shout, stomped his foot, and instead of staying in place to wait for the opponent's attack, he rushed towards Liang Zichuan who was charging towards him, leaving a long trail of blade light behind him.
clang.
The clash of swords produced a loud sound and sparks.
The two sides separated immediately after the initial contact, retreating without launching an immediate attack.
Both Xiao Fan and Liang Zichuan's eyes showed seriousness; this was a tough opponent.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with a bright light, revealing intense excitement.
This is the opponent he is looking for, an opponent with whom he can have a good fight.
Looking at Xiao Fan, whose eyes were gleaming with determination, Liang Zichuan was equally eager to fight.
I recognized her in her eyes; she was the one I was looking for.
Yin Tiantian, sitting in the audience, wondered, "Liang Zichuan seems to have become much stronger than before. He's much better than in the previous competition."
Qin Feng smiled slightly at her.
"My silly senior sister, who would reveal their hand as soon as they meet, letting their opponent see everything? You may have defeated your opponent, but his teammates now know your strength and can easily target you. Look at you, you'll be out of the game after only two matches."
Xiao Fan is younger than you. Observe when he goes all out. He won't use his trump card unless absolutely necessary, which is why he can fight to the end.
And Liang Zichuan is also a formidable character; he knows how to hide his true abilities. He's even more capable than you think; you'll see as you watch on.”
Yin Tiantian knew Qin Feng was right, but she still pouted unhappily, "There are so many ulterior motives in a competition. Fighting to your heart's content is the only way to win."
Qin Feng shook his head helplessly, "Senior sister, you're likely to suffer losses if you keep this up. It's always best to have a backup plan."
"I know, I do have some trump cards, they're just not suitable for use on stage. Besides, Xiao Fan is behind me, what's there to be afraid of? Let's go all out and have a big fight."
Qin Feng nodded. "Just watch the game. This guy will surprise you."
