Chapter 383 I don’t accept it! He cheated!
Things got out of hand.
The news that Xiao Changheng, who had no foundation in cultivation, was going to compete with outer disciples on the martial arts stage not only attracted a large number of outer disciples, but also spread throughout the entire inner sect.
All the inner disciples know that Yun Qingqing is the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, and is their master!
To be honest, there was a lot of criticism in the inner sect about her choosing an ordinary man as her husband, but they just didn't dare to say it out loud.
As a result, these inner disciples were even more active than those from the outer sect, and surrounded the martial arts arena with a huge crowd.
When Yuan Si arrived, the situation was already out of control. He quickly reported to the elders, and the elders who had been under self-imposed confinement also rushed over.
Now almost everyone in the Seven Stars Hall is here.
Yun Qingqing refused to sit in the main seat in the stands and stood at the edge of the martial arts stage to watch the fight up close. The elders didn't dare to say anything and had to let her go.
From time to time, the discussions of the Seven Star Hall disciples could be heard from the densely packed audience seats outside the stadium.
"This prince is truly stubborn. How dare an ordinary person like him compete with a disciple from the Seven Stars Palace?"
"Hey, maybe he's just relying on Miss Yun's status and strength, and he's used to being fearless. He didn't expect to meet someone who didn't buy his words, and he couldn't get back down!"
"I really don't understand. Why would Miss Yun, a Xuanmen genius, want a useless person who can't even draw Qi into his body as her husband?"
"You said he's your husband, not your Taoist partner. What's the big deal? Look at his appearance. It's quite rare in the world. Miss Yun must have been attracted by that face..."
"Shh, stop talking. I've heard rumors within the inner sect that Yun Qingqing has a powerful background, and it's not as simple as we think. Be careful with your words..."
The great elder on the high platform saw Yun Qingqing's cold face and twitching eyelids, and immediately summoned his spiritual power and shouted:
"quiet!"
This shout made the disciples' ears buzz, and they all stopped talking and finally quieted down.
Inside the venue, Yuan Si received the elder's signal, nodded, and announced:
"No casualties are allowed in this competition. Each player must rely on their true abilities. Other matters are irrelevant. Do you have any objections?"
After receiving unanimous answers, Yuan Si retreated to the outside and said loudly:
"The competition begins!"
Xiao Changheng stood tall and graceful, wearing a dark brocade robe with rich colors. He looked at Shi Yan opposite him with a faint look in his eyes.
Shi Yan held his magic weapon in his hand, and had already rehearsed the scene of the opponent's disastrous defeat countless times in his mind.
He could see clearly that the long sword in Xiao Changheng's hand was temporarily borrowed from the Seven Stars Palace's armory. It was the most common kind used by outer disciples. What threat could it pose!
Yun Qingqing insisted on standing nearby, probably because she had planned to attack secretly. She would understand the importance of this martial arts arena later, haha.
Thinking of this, Shi Yan said loudly:
"If you admit defeat now, it's not too late to regret it. Otherwise, when we start fighting, don't blame the magic weapon for being blind!"
Xiao Changheng pointed his sword at the ground and said calmly:
"Noisy."
Shi Yan's face turned cold:
"You asked for this!"
After saying that, he concentrated his mind and made hand gestures. The three darts in his hands lit up with cold light and turned into three lightning bolts, attacking Xiao Changheng directly!
Seeing Xiao Changheng raising his sword to block, a low sigh came from the crowd, and Shi Yan already showed a triumphant smile.
Even though the dart in his hand wasn't of the highest quality, it was still a magical weapon he had painstakingly crafted! How could an ordinary sword block it?
If he tries to block like this, he will only break his own sword, and the outcome is already decided!
However, Xiao Changheng just shook his wrist, and the tip of the sword moved flexibly. After three crisp "ding ding dong" sounds, all three darts bounced away. They were really blocked by him!
Many disciples in the crowd made surprised noises. Shi Yan's face changed. He was making hand gestures to reorganize the attack, but he saw Xiao Changheng move and sweep the sword towards him. A sharp sword energy came towards him!
Shi Yan was so frightened by the murderous intent carried by the sword energy that he took a deep breath. He suddenly dodged it by turning sideways and immediately steered the dart straight at Xiao Changheng's back.
The dart seemed to come silently from behind, but Xiao Changheng seemed to have eyes on his back. He dodged it by slightly turning his body, and then another sword energy rushed towards Shi Yan with his backhand.
Shi Yan failed to gain the upper hand in two consecutive moves, and he felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to drag it out any longer. He bit his fingertips and shouted loudly. Then the three darts glowed faintly and flew straight towards Xiao Changheng, blocking his movements in all directions. The speed was twice as fast as before!
Xiao Changheng's face was slightly solemn. He moved his feet lightly and his body flew around. He narrowly avoided two darts. Seeing the third dart coming straight at his face, he shook his wrist, raised his sword and deflected the dart.
At the same time, Shi Yan saw him sneer at him with disdain: "Nothing more than that!"
Since Shi Yan entered the Xuanmen sect, what he looked down upon the most were ordinary people who had no talent or foundation. Now he was fighting back and forth with Xiao Changheng, which was a great shame and humiliation for him, not to mention being ridiculed in person.
His eyes turned red on the spot. He gritted his teeth and gathered all his spiritual power, manipulating the darts into a net of light, and rushed towards Xiao Changheng at an incredible speed.
If you get hit by this, you will be cut into pieces!
However, at the moment when he used his spiritual power, he saw a cold light in Xiao Changheng's eyes, a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips, and he shifted his feet and disappeared in a flash.
Before Shi Yan could react, a powerful sword energy came from behind him. He had nowhere to hide and was knocked away.
Shi Yan struggled twice, spat out a mouthful of blood, and struggled to support half of his body.
Xiao Changheng walked up to him slowly, placed his sword on his neck, and said expressionlessly:
"You, lost."
The audience outside the venue went from being surprised and whispering at the beginning to being completely silent.
Shi Yan looked at the sword on his neck with horror and humiliation, unable to believe it:
"Impossible, how is this possible!"
"No!" He suddenly realized something, raised his head and stared at Xiao Changheng: "You are cheating! There is something wrong with the sword in your hand!"
Xiao Changheng sneered:
"Why, can't you afford to lose?"
Shi Yan spat out another mouthful of blood and looked at Yun Qingqing with gritted teeth:
"You were secretly helping him after all! The ordinary longswords in the outer sect's arsenal couldn't withstand a blow from my cold iron darts! Yet he was able to block them head-on, time and again! You must have tampered with the sword!"
When he said this, many of the outer disciples showed expressions of sudden realization, and really believed that Shi Yan had come to the truth.
However, the inner disciples and elders had complicated expressions.
"Enough!" Yuan Si said coldly, "Master... Miss Yun didn't intervene at all. The fact that you suspect there's something wrong with Master Xiao's sword is enough to prove that you're indeed inferior to him! Shi Yan, accept the loss!"
"Why do you say that?" Shi Yan roared in frustration. "Brother Yuan, are you trying to protect him? This loser clearly brought a spirit sword that didn't belong to him to fight me. With so many people watching, how could you declare me the loser?"
