But Liang Ling on the arena was different. Although he was in the fire tornado, he kept his eyes fixed on Qiu Honglei in the air.
The intense light he received that instant caused him more harm than the disciples around the arena.
Almost instantly, he felt a sharp pain, his vision went completely white, and he was temporarily blinded.
This was a great shock, and he could only desperately urge the power of the flames to attack in the direction he remembered.
But Qiu Honglei wasn't going to be foolish enough to stay put. She quickly appeared behind Liang Ling, her two blades crossed, and a "δΉ‚"-shaped blade of light shot towards him.
"Holy Light Cross Slash?" Someone recognized the origin of this move. The sword energy formed by light was incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through gold and jade.
Liang Ling finally noticed the abnormality and hurriedly summoned flames behind him, but in his haste, he was still a fraction too late.
boom!
The light slash struck the fire tornado, tearing apart the previously terrifying flames. The raging inferno seemed to be suppressed by something, and its scale was significantly reduced.
Liang Ling's true form also appeared in the flames, and in the chaos, he used his spear to block in front of him.
A dazzling light flashed, and he was knocked down from the sky.
The gun bore obvious slash marks, and his hands were covered in blood. His clothes were torn open at the chest, revealing a deep wound.
"Shall we continue?" Qiu Honglei asked with a smile.
Many people in the room looked at her strangely. This woman was obviously very ugly, but she acted as if she were an absolute beauty.
At first, people felt a bit nauseous looking at it, but after looking at it for a while, they seemed to find it somewhat pleasing and charming.
Is this the power of the strong?
Liang Ling remained silent for a moment on the ground, then finally said in a hoarse voice, "No need. Thank you for showing mercy. I lost."
He had previously thought that he was caught off guard by his opponent due to carelessness. He felt that he still had many tricks up his sleeve and was extremely unwilling to lose the once-in-a-decade competition. That's why he launched the Fiery Rebirth without hesitation.
But after playing for a while, he realized that the woman opposite him was unfathomable.
No one who can become the chief disciple is stupid. He knows that if he continues to fight, the price that the Fiery Rebirth will pay will become greater and greater, and the hope of winning is not great, so what is the point of persisting?
Wu Xiaofan, Wan Guiyi, and other top disciples, all aiming for the championship, carefully examined Qiu Honglei in the air. This woman was stronger than they had imagined.
Since Liang Ling had admitted defeat, Elder Xuandu couldn't make a scene, so he hurriedly gave Liang Ling some of Kunlun Mountain's elixirs.
Meanwhile, Wang Wuxie and the other sect leaders looked at Yun Jianyue with complicated expressions: "Kongming Island is truly a case of 'silent until it speaks, then astonishing when it does.'"
It's worth noting that Kongming Island has basically been a supporting character in previous competitions, but this time the disciple is ridiculously strong, and Liang Ling seems to have not yet tested her limits.
"I humbly admit it~" Seeing these righteous leaders who usually threatened to kill her, Yun Jianyue felt as refreshed as if she had eaten several large slices of chilled watermelon in the desert on a sweltering summer day.
I was thinking, what will your expressions be when I reveal my identity after winning the championship?
The thought that she had made the entire Taoist sect a laughing stock with her little trick almost made her laugh out loud.
"The top four have been decided. Take a day off, and the semi-finals will be held the day after tomorrow." With Wang Wuxie's announcement, today's competition came to an end.
Disciples from various sects excitedly discussed the exciting events on the arena today, and many even came to try and get closer to Kongming Island. With such a powerful disciple, Kongming Island would no longer be an insignificant figure in the entire Daoist sect, and it was worth their courting.
Yun Jianyue usually finds these kinds of social interactions extremely annoying, but at this moment she's enjoying them. After all, the more attentive these people are, the more interesting their expressions will be when the truth comes out.
Just as she was about to get cocky, Yan Xuehen suddenly appeared in front of her: "You look a lot like an old friend of mine."
