Xu Yuehuai gently nudges Su Chen, not expecting him to change his mind over a single sentence, but she has her own methods. Sure enough, after she finishes speaking, Su Chen sneers, his eyes filled with contempt, "Senior Sister, are you going to play the good guy and protect them? All these attacks are aimed at you. If you take them all down, how can the others get hurt? Senior Sister, don't you think that makes sense?"
Su Chen said shamelessly, his face gloomy. Xu Yuehuai, considering his emotions and the slightly twisted nature of this man, said, "To be honest, your reasoning is completely wrong."
Immediately afterwards, an even more ferocious attack was launched towards Su Chen. The two were separated by a major realm, and even with Xu Yuehuai's solid basic skills, he was somewhat powerless in the face of this situation, but only slightly.
Because... Su Chen's cultivation level was built up with countless elixirs and magic pills, so he didn't have any real offensive capabilities, unlike Xu Yuehuai, who trained in the secret realm every day.
Therefore, in terms of actual combat, Xu Yuehuai had the upper hand, and for a time the two were evenly matched.
Those who initially praised Xu Yuehuai thought smugly, "See? I told you, Senior Sister's strength is extraordinary. How could she not even beat such a small fry! Wasn't Su Chen just provoking Senior Sister? This result is entirely his own fault!"
"I never expected that Senior Sister could unleash such powerful strength with her cultivation at the third minor stage of the Qi Refining Realm. I've never seen anything like it before!"
"Su Chen's moves look like they're all just for show. He should just admit defeat now, so he won't lose face too much."
The greatest pleasure for the people watching the match was commenting on the two fighters. Hearing this, He Qi and the others defended Su Chen, saying, "You bunch of people are really short-sighted and narrow-minded. Just wait and see."
While they were saying this outside, the guys had been cursing Su Chen countless times behind his back. "This Su Chen is really unreliable. I disagreed when he said he wanted to be the first one up. Now look what happened, he made a fool of himself. With his cultivation level built up with elixirs and pills, and he didn't even bother to improve his foundation afterwards, what kind of good person can he be!"
After the incident, everyone felt resentful and indignant, and they all voiced their grievances.
He Qi felt that it was too noisy around him, with people always talking. If it weren't for Song Xin, he would disdain being with such a group of people, let alone sharing and talking about Song Xin with them.
He Qi wished Song Xin belonged to him alone, that he could lock her up so he could enjoy her anytime, anywhere, and meet with her whenever he wanted.
But that's the situation now. He's not capable enough, and he needs to work with others to overcome the difficulties they face.
Xu Yuehuai gripped her longsword, her eyes sharp, and unleashed a final, powerful blow at Su Chen.
Su Chen was unable to defend himself in time and was knocked down from the sky by the attack, falling backward and crashing heavily to the ground. No one tried to catch him.
Su Chen grimaced in pain and rolled on the ground. After a short while, he stood up again, supported by the ground. Xu Yuehuai had already landed steadily and was standing in front of him again. The incident had not affected Xu Yuehuai at all.
She stood in front of Su Chen, her expression unchanged from the beginning, except that her hair was slightly disheveled. The people next to her whispered, their eyes filled with schadenfreude, "Hmph, Su Chen always acts arrogantly in the sect, just like Yu Ze. Now that Yu Ze is gone, he's still here, which is really annoying to see."
"Who says otherwise? He was so arrogant just now, and he didn't care about the people below at all when he was fighting. I don't know how many of his attacks accidentally hurt others."
...
He Qi and the others had expected this result. They initially thought Su Chen had something big to hold in, but it turned out he had something big to take.
He Qi and the others were unwilling to step forward to help Su Chen, finding it shameful. One man with a gloomy face and a dark expression said, "He's really a good-for-nothing. He can't even handle this little thing. What use is he?"
The man's tone was filled with disgust, and the others remained noncommittal. Aside from this incident, they were all competitors and had long disliked each other. He Qi, as the man closest to Song Xin, received many disdainful looks.
He also spent a lot of effort to bring this group of people together.
Hearing this, He Qi pursed his lips and said, "Alright, you guys go help him walk. If we fail this time, we'll try again next time."
They were truly too ashamed to continue fighting Xu Yuehuai. These people were all somewhat well-known in Xuancheng, and given how humiliating the situation was, they had no face to stay any longer.
Su Chen stood trembling in front of Xu Yuehuai, his face burning with anger, "Continue! Come on!"
As he spoke, Su Chen put his hands together in front of him. Without taking out any weapons, he quickly flipped his hands, forming a magic seal. The pattern of the magic seal was very peculiar. Xu Yuehuai had the good fortune to see it once in a book. The book did not provide much information about this magic seal, only simply saying that it was a unique skill of the Su family.
"What is this thing? It looks really weird."
"You don't even know this? You're so ignorant. This is a magic seal passed down from the Su family. It has immense power and can even defeat people with higher cultivation levels than yourself."
"In that case, doesn't it mean that Senior Sister is in trouble? Senior Sister's cultivation level is already lower than Su Chen's, so her chances of winning are not much at all."
"Who says otherwise? Senior Sister has no chance to turn the tide now. It was already quite an achievement that she was able to defeat Su Chen with her own abilities. It's a pity. I thought Senior Sister would win this battle, but I didn't expect Su Chen to have been holding back such a powerful move."
Xu Yuehuai's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint in them. He Qi and the others smiled at this, but the gloomy man still looked at her with disdain. "It's really foolish to make yourself look so pathetic before you retaliate."
Su Chen didn't hear these words. All his energy was focused on the magic seal. This was the first time he had used this magic seal outside. His father had said that this thing should never be used unless absolutely necessary. Although it could bring great energy, it could also cause irreversible damage to the caster's body in the future.
Su Chen bit his lower lip tightly. He couldn't believe he had been defeated by someone who had only been in the Middle Realm for less than half a year. His pride drove him to win this time, no matter the cost!
