With a casual gesture, Lin Xian'er defeated the strongest ace of the Liuyun Sword Sect.
Who else could stop Lin Xian'er's path to victory?
The following matches were almost without suspense.
The scores of both the Liuyun Sword Sect and the Qiankun Sect halted when Lin Xian'er took the stage.
Everyone from both the Liuyun Sword Sect and the Qiankun Sect had darkened expressions.
Originally, they thought that the Wenxian Sect would become a laughingstock. However, in the end, the Liuyun Sword Sect and the Qiankun Sect had become one instead.
"Hmph, it's just a win in the disciples' battles. There's still the sect leaders' battles!"
Cao Tailai clenched his fists tightly. "The sect leaders' battles are the main event and account for seventy percent of the score distribution! That Wenxian Sect Leader is just a young brat. How many years has he lived? I'll show him what true sect leader strength is!"
The sect leader of the Qiankun Sect was equally unyielding.
Though he no longer underestimated Ling Feng, Ling Feng was still just a teenager. No matter how formidable he was, he was only in the Pulse Formation Realm. Could he possibly defeat someone in the Transformation Realm?
Due to the complete lockdown of information regarding the internal conflict within the Wenxian Sect, the other sects naively believed that Ling Feng had only managed to oust the previous sect leader, Lin Canglang, with the help of his master, Duanmu Qingshan.
Unfortunately, they were unaware that Ling Feng had already possessed the combat strength to contend with beginning-stage Transformation Realm martial artists six months ago.
By now, he had the potential to fight against beginning-stage Spiritual Element Realm experts.
In Ling Feng's eyes, neither Daoist Tian Yun nor Cao Tailai were even worthy opponents.
He was not here for the triennial martial arts competition but rather to conquer the two sects and unify the Xianzong Mountains, establishing the Wenxian Sect's dominance.
Ling Feng never saw himself as ambitious, but since he occupied this position, he had to at least strengthen his sect. He couldn't allow just anyone to trample over the Wenxian Sect.
"The disciples' battles have concluded. Now, it's time for the sect leaders' battles. According to tradition, the three of us will fight each other. Winning two matches naturally places one first, one win and one loss places one second, and the one who loses twice is undoubtedly last."
Daoist Tian Yun took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "Shall we decide the order with the divine luopan?"
"There’s no need for such trouble."
Ling Feng slowly stood up from his seat. "You two, come at me together."
"W-What does he mean?"
His words shocked everyone.
In an instant, the entire Leiyun Peak fell into a terrifying silence, where even the drop of a pin could be heard.
In the next moment, angry roars erupted from the camps of the Liuyun Sword Sect and the Qiankun Sect.
"How arrogant! This Wenxian Sect Leader is too conceited!"
"Who does he think he is, challenging two sect leaders at once!"
"Arrogant, too arrogant! Just because he won a few disciple battles, he thinks he’s the king of the world!"
"He's just a Pulse Formation Realm martial artist. Forget fighting against two sect leaders, even our Liuyun Sword Sect's sect leader could beat him to a pulp by himself."
"Bah, what an arrogant fool!"
The crowd erupted in curses. Ling Feng's attitude was indeed overly arrogant.
The sect leader of the Liuyun Sword Sect laughed instead of getting angry. In the next moment, his beast-like eyes fixed on Ling Feng with hatred. "Boy, youthful arrogance is fine, but you must know your limits. Who do you think you are? Challenging both of us at once? You're too naive!"
Elder Yao and the peak leaders of the Wenxian Sect couldn't help but frown.
Ling Feng was indeed extraordinarily powerful, but what was he trying to do? Why was he so blatantly breaking the rules?
Even they didn't know that Ling Feng's purpose this time was to subdue the Liuyun Sword Sect and the Qiankun Sect.
Therefore, he had to display overwhelming strength; otherwise, it would be impossible to make the sect leaders of both sects completely submit.
"Arrogant? I don't think so."
Ling Feng shrugged. "Maybe if all the elders and disciples of your sects came at me together, it would barely be considered arrogant."
Cao Tailai trembled with rage. "Brat, you've successfully angered me."
Daoist Tian Yun also clenched his fists as a flicker of anger in his eyes. "Sect Leader Ling, are you really intent on fighting both of us at the same time?"
"I said what I said. There's no need to make things so complicated."
Ling Feng shrugged again as he leapt onto the stage and stood proudly.
He casually beckoned to the two sect leaders, saying nonchalantly, "The sun is almost setting. Isn't it better if I save everyone some time?"
Cao Tailai flicked his sleeve. "In that case, don't blame me for bullying the young!"
He turned to Daoist Tian Yun and said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader Tian Yun, what do you think?"
"Since Sect Leader Ling insists, let's join forces to teach him a lesson. A tree that is unyielding will break. Young people shouldn't be too arrogant."
Daoist Tian Yun nodded. He believed Ling Feng's strength was indeed formidable; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to provoke them. However, the young man was still too inexperienced.
With him and Cao Tailai joining forces, no matter how extraordinary Ling Feng was, he would ultimately be defeated.
Two figures simultaneously leaped onto the stage, surrounding Ling Feng from opposite sides.
"If you have any powerful moves, you'd better use them now, or you might not get the chance to later."
Ling Feng stood with his hands behind his back while speaking arrogantly.
Daoist Tian Yun, genuinely angered, said with hatred, "Sect Leader Cao, you hold him off first. I have an artifact that requires some time to activate."
"Oh?" Cao Tailai squinted his eyes thinking that it was fortunate Ling Feng's arrogance forced Daoist Tian Yun to reveal his trump card. Otherwise, he might have been the one to suffer later.
"Okay, I'll hold him off first!"
Cao Tailai's long sword flickered as he sneered. "But I fear I will have already subdued this arrogant brat before you even make your move."
"No need to rush," Ling Feng said with a faint smile. "Sect Leader Tian Yun, if you need time, I'll wait until you've set up your array and then face both you and Sect Leader Cao together."
Cao Tailai shouted, his sword shining brightly as he lunged at Ling Feng like a ferocious tiger.
Ling Feng's eyes turned cold as he glared at Cao Tailai. His single word exploded like thunder, causing Cao Tailai to feel as if he had been struck on the head. It made him grunt and freeze in place as he no longer dared to move.
What a thunderous voice!
Cao Tailai gasped in shock as he stared at Ling Feng with uncertainty.
He felt his very soul trembling, unable to fathom how this young man had become so powerful.
