"Ah~" Shi Dingtian never expected the other party to use this move, and he covered his eyes and screamed.
Not only him, but even the onlookers covered their eyes, looking utterly bewildered.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiu Honglei launched an attack. Shi Dingtian was in excruciating pain and could not see. He could only instinctively swing his fists and palms to protect himself, but how could he withstand such a passive defense?
He was quickly struck by several palms from Qiu Honglei, and finally a ball of light blasted into his body.
With a huge explosion, he could no longer hold on and fell off the ring.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone had recovered slightly from the bright light, they saw Shi Dingtian fall to the ground.
The entire Golden Summit fell silent. What was originally thought to be an evenly matched contest turned out to be decided so quickly.
However, the way Peng Wuyan won was rather... despicable.
As expected, the Cave Master Mu could no longer hold back. He slammed his fist on the table and glared at Qiu Honglei, shouting, "You bastard, how could you be so unscrupulous!"
Qiu Honglei said dismissively, "I already showed mercy, otherwise he would be more seriously injured now."
She had just remembered that this simple-minded boy was honest and kind-hearted, so she deliberately put away her twin blades when she attacked last, and instead used her fists and palms. Otherwise, Shi Dingtian would probably be completely covered in wounds, just like Liang Ling a few days ago.
Master Mu's breath hitched. He naturally understood that the other party had indeed shown mercy, but he was more concerned about what had happened earlier: "You clearly promised Shi Dingtian that you wouldn't use the blinding move, so why did you immediately use it to ambush him?"
Before Qiu Honglei could answer, Yun Jianyue jumped in to defend her: "Don't you know that all's fair in war? You believe everything people say on the battlefield? You won't even know how you died."
Master Mu roared, "This isn't a battlefield, this is an arena!"
"Look at how foolish your disciple is. He'll probably be the same on the battlefield. It's better for him to learn a lesson here than to lose his life in the future," Yun Jianyue said dismissively.
"To speak of despicable and shameless acts so matter-of-factly, are you on the righteous path or the demonic path?!" the Cave Master Mu roared.
Yun Jianyue was also furious: "A loss is a loss. If you can't handle losing, then don't participate in the competition. The younger ones lose and the older ones come out. You're even worse than the Demonic Sect!"
Guan Chouhai, Elder Xu, and the others immediately looked rather grim; they had been caught in the crossfire even when they were lying down.
Master Mu slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "You surnamed Peng, I've put up with you for far too long!"
Yun Jianyue was equally furious: "What, you want to fight? I'm ready!"
The two looked ready to fight, and the disciples in the audience were all eager for a good show and wished for a real fight.
However, Wang Wuxie, as the host, naturally could not do that, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them: "Both of you, calm down, peace is the most important thing, peace is the most important thing."
Master Mu said, "Brother Wang, you be the judge. Aren't the people of Kongming Island going too far?"
"Uh~" Wang Wuxie also felt that Peng Wuyan's actions were somewhat despicable, but since there was no explicit prohibition against such behavior, he didn't know how to respond for the time being.
He quickly looked at Master Jianhuang of Wuyou Temple beside him: "Master, you are highly respected. What do you think of this matter?"
As long as I'm quick enough, the pot will never catch up with me.
“Amitabha~” Master Jianhuang put his hands together and said, “This is an internal dispute within the Taoist sect. I belong to the Buddhist sect, so it is probably not convenient for me to comment.”
You're good at shifting blame, but I'm no less capable.
Wang Wuxie cursed the old fox under his breath, but could only ask the other referees.
But nobody's stupid. Right now, everyone's too busy watching the show to want to be the villain.
Wang Wuxie was also in a bind. If no one else spoke up, he would have to be the one to make a statement, which would inevitably offend people.
His gaze suddenly fell on Zu An, and his eyes lit up: "Lord Zu, what are your thoughts on this?"
This young man is hot-blooded and impetuous, unlike those old foxes who can keep their composure. It's perfect to have him as a shield.
Zuan glanced at everyone, secretly sneering, and guessed most of what they were thinking.
However, he was not one to back down from trouble, and upon hearing this, he replied, "What Miss Peng did just now was indeed rather despicable."
Upon hearing his words, the cave master straightened his chest and, for the first time, found the young man to be quite handsome.
Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei's expressions changed slightly. Could it be that this guy was going to speak up for someone else?
Before he could get angry, Zu'an changed the subject: "However, the previous rules did not explicitly prohibit this behavior, so although it is not in line with the gentlemanly style of the Taoist sect, it has not committed a fundamental error, and I personally think it is not appropriate to punish her. In comparison, Master Mu should be more concerned about another issue. It is a good thing that Shi Dingtian is simple and honest, but being too simple and honest makes her easy to be targeted and exploited by bad people."
Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei were overjoyed, thinking that he was indeed the person they had chosen, and that he would always stand by their side no matter what.
Feeling the intensity in their eyes, Zuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He was too charming. What if he helped them and they fell hopelessly in love with him?
Oh dear, I just can't seem to learn how to keep my distance from women.
Upon hearing that he supported Kongming Island, Master Mu was initially filled with anger, but upon hearing the second half of his sentence, he couldn't help but ponder. This was indeed a big problem; that kid, Dingtian, was far too foolish and naive.
Seeing this, Wang Wuxie began to comfort him, praising Shi Dingtian's strengths. The others followed suit, exchanging compliments, and the Cave Master's anger gradually subsided.
