With Jing Zhe's level of cultivation, he could tell at a glance that Long Aodi's cultivation was only at the middle stage of the fifth level. Among the younger generation, apart from a few people from the four major sects, he was already considered one of the best.
Long Aodi himself thought so too.
If I can't compare to them, am I not even as good as a corrupt official like you?
One sword strike and you're dead; no one can stop you!
However, in Jing Zhe's eyes, his movements were no different from slow motion. When the sword came in front of him, he simply turned his body slightly to the side and dodged it.
"Whoosh!"
A loud bang was heard from the audience, followed by a long, deathly silence.
He... managed to dodge it?
How could he possibly dodge it?
The fifth level of cultivation is already extremely rare among people, and the same goes for lightness skills. Jing Zhe only used the middle section of the second level of lightness as a swallow, so few people could see his movements clearly.
However, many people from the four major sects saw it clearly. Several women showed relieved smiles on their faces, as if they knew it would be like this, while Su Xiaoxiao looked incredulous!
As for the Prince of Jin and the leader of Qingyang Sect, their brows furrowed as they looked at Jing Zhe, who appeared calm and collected.
It seems... I've been deceived by him...
But why couldn't they tell he knew martial arts before? No, even now, they still can't tell!
Lin Qingshan sneered repeatedly. After all, Jing Zhe had only shown the lightness of a swallow in the second level. He would never think that Jing Zhe's level was higher than his own: Let you be proud for a while. You'll have your time to cry later!
As for Pei Chunjing and Abbess Mingji, they both laughed.
They all knew about the relationship between their prized disciple and Jing Zhe. If Jing Zhe really didn't know martial arts, how could his two older sisters just watch him go to his death?
All of this was unexpected, yet also perfectly reasonable.
However, the one who was most shocked was Long Aodi, who was at the scene of the competition!
He... can actually use light-footed kung fu?
Turning around, he saw Jing Zhe smiling contemptuously at him, muttering, "Young Master Long, don't hold back, hurry up! Otherwise, people will think we're having a fake martial arts contest!"
"..."
Long Ao was furious. He wasn't stupid; how could he not tell that Jing Zhe was being sarcastic and mocking him?
"Take another sword strike!"
This time, Long Aodi not only combined speed with offense, but also brought the Kunlun Sect's unique skills to their fullest potential, which can be said to be the peak performance of his life so far!
Immediately afterwards, it roared and flew towards Jing Zhe!
Just now, his sword was aimed at Jing Zhe's body, leaving some room for maneuver. But this time, his sword slashed down at Jing Zhe's face, his intention to kill him was obvious!
The audience held their breath, staring intently at Jing Zhe, eager to see how he managed to dodge.
But this time, Jing Zhe stood still, as if his feet were made of lead, and did not move. He simply raised the Emperor's Sword in his hand, as if he wanted to use the sword to block the sword.
To stand still and block the sword is tantamount to courting death unless there is a huge difference in the two people's cultivation levels!
The crowd had only witnessed Jing Zhe's lightness skill, and they were not clear about his martial arts level. Even so, they did not believe that Jing Zhe was stronger than Long Aodi, who was at the fifth level of martial arts!
If someone could reach the fifth level of the realm at such a young age, would they need to become a minor official in the imperial court?
Just when everyone thought Jing Zhe was doomed, Long Aodi's sword slashed down from the sky.
"Bang!"
The swords clashed, producing a crisp sound. To everyone's astonishment, besides the fact that the Emperor's Sword did not break, Long Aodi was also blasted nearly ten meters away!
If it weren't for the rough surface of the arena giving him resistance, he probably would have been blasted off!
How... is this possible?
Everyone was puzzled, and Long Aodi was even more puzzled.
He was completely stunned, but thinking about all the harsh words he had said to Jing Zhe before, if he lost, how could he face anyone in the martial arts world?
Ignoring the pain in his body, feeling the blood rushing to his head, he stumbled to his feet and rushed towards Jing Zhe.
But he left quickly and returned even faster!
With a loud "bang," Jing Zhe kicked him away, the force of which was so strong that he would either die or be crippled!
Long Aodi fell heavily from the sky to the ground below the stage. He tried to struggle to get up, but his body swayed and he spat out a mouthful of blood before falling to the ground again and refusing to get up.
"Someone, quickly heal his wounds!"
"..."
After a moment of silence, the clamor of rescue efforts erupted from the audience.
From beginning to end, Jing Zhe only made three moves: a flash, a block, and a kick. Each move was incredibly simple. Not to mention martial arts practitioners, even ordinary people fighting on the street would have more moves and be more exciting than him.
Even so, no one dared to laugh at him.
Because everyone knows that if it weren't for the powerful suppression of his cultivation level, he wouldn't have been able to kill Long Aodi, who was at the fifth level of cultivation, so easily!
So those who were just mocking Jing Zhe have all fallen silent, while those who surrendered immediately after going on stage, who were initially ridiculed by those around them, can now hold their heads high and show a smug look!
Look, if it weren't for the surrender of labor and management, things would be even worse for them!
"I never imagined he would be even stronger than I thought!"
Pei Chunjing shook his head and sighed.
"Master Pei, can you discern his cultivation level?"
Master Mingji turned her head and asked.
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Sect Master Mingji, but in all my years of wandering the martial world, I've seen people of higher cultivation levels hide their cultivation levels from those of lower levels. But this is the first time I've seen someone whose internal energy fluctuations are completely imperceptible!"
Master Mingji nodded in agreement: "Yes, but judging from how he fought that junior from the Kunlun Sect, he must be at least at the peak of the fifth level, or even the sixth level!"
Pei Chunjing nodded in agreement. If the difference in their cultivation levels weren't so great, how could Jing Zhe have defeated Long Aodi in just three moves?
"Sect Leader Mingji, it seems your Qingyun Sect will not be able to win the title of Martial Arts Alliance Leader this time!"
"Hehe, even if Master Pei wants to get it, it will probably be very difficult!"
"However, it seems that whether we take it or not doesn't make much of a difference now, does it?"
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
The Prince of Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader were not in such a good mood. They exchanged a glance with complicated expressions, as if all their previous plans had been disrupted by Jing Zhe's appearance!
At this moment, Prince Jin glanced at Lin Qingshan again. Lin Qingshan's gaze was calm, but he gripped his long sword tightly, nodded slightly, and his eyes were filled with determination.
Standing on the stage, Jing Zhe had no interest in observing the psychological changes of these people. Looking at Long Aodi being carried away, he shook his head regretfully, feeling a sense of "I haven't even made a move yet, and you're already done for."
He stepped out, scanned the audience, and slowly said:
"Who else?!"
"..."
