“It’s over.Tai Xuan Sect is finished.”

“Yeah,Han Luoyu was their strongest,and he lost.There’s no hope for their advancement today.”

“Wait,doesn’t Tai Xuan Sect have another contender?That Meng Changqing guy.”

“Are you kidding?That guy just got a free pass into this round and only ranks tenth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.No way he can beat Duanmu Longque.”

“True.”

The crowd was buzzing with discussions.

“Watch your words!”The Meng family members couldn’t take it anymore and stood up to retort,”Our young master is very capable!”

“Exactly!”

Out of home,the family must stand united.Even the elders tacitly approved of this potentially troublesome defense.

“Pfft,if your young master wins,I’ll crawl out of Tai Xuan Sect today!”Others sneered,believing Duanmu Longque’s power,with the control of the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire,to be unbeatable.

Han Luoyu was defeated in one move.Who among his peers could challenge him now?

—

On the high platform,the mood was somber on the Tai Xuan Sect side.In contrast,the Flame Sun Valley and Giant Spirit Sect sides were jubilant.

“Chief Xi,I don’t think there’s any need to continue this final round,right?”Qin Hong said with a smile.”What’s the point of continuing?It makes no difference.”

“Exactly.Your disciple who got a free pass into this round will only waste time and get injured if he fights.He should just surrender to avoid humiliation,”Duanmu Yang added.

Hearing this,many genius disciples wanted to retort but couldn’t find the words.

Even Han Luoyu had lost.How could Meng Changqing stand a chance?

“It’s time for the next match,”Xi Yingqing said.

All eyes turned to Meng Changqing,who slowly opened his eyes and stood up.The gentle wind blew his black hair,and the sunlight highlighted his youthful grace.Meng Changqing’s striking appearance earned nods of approval from the crowd.

“Good luck,Senior Brother Meng!”The Shi brothers patted their chests in unison,eyes full of confidence.To them,Senior Brother Meng was a strong genius who had never lost.

“Good luck,Junior Brother Meng!”Kong Linxue waved.

“You arrogant fool,you better not lose,or I’ll stop being your friend!”Mo Xiaoyu had seemingly moved on from her earlier disappointment.

“Good luck.”Other genius disciples also voiced their support.

Regardless,Meng Changqing was their last hope,even if it seemed slim.

“Junior Brother Meng,”Han Luoyu suddenly spoke as Meng Changqing passed him.

Despite the healing energy from Xi Yingqing,he was still in poor condition,barely opening his eyes.

“It’s up to you now.”In this state,his mind was clearer,realizing many things,including his master’s words that suggested Meng Changqing might be the true trump card of the sect.

“I will.”Meng Changqing smiled slightly.

“Go easy,don’t kill him,”Xi Yingqing said,patting Meng Changqing’s shoulder.

This statement stunned many people,leaving them speechless.

“Xi Yingqing,you must be crazy,”Duanmu Yang scoffed,but Xi Yingqing did not respond,simply retracting his hand.

Meng Changqing felt a surge of determination,confirming a suspicion.

Xi Yingqing had likely noticed his sword intent back in the sect hall.

The chief was no ordinary person,possessing a cultivation level far beyond Duanmu Yang and the others.

“I’ll do my best,”Meng Changqing nodded,transforming into a sword light and flying down.Even the genuine Heaven and Earth Strange Fire wouldn’t intimidate him.Sword intent,as the pinnacle of martial arts,augmented his sword technique by over forty times and possessed numerous profound powers.

Though formidable,the Strange Fire was still an external tool.Its full potential couldn’t be realized by someone at the Dao Creation Realm,especially a remnant fire like Duanmu Longque’s,which made it even less of a concern.

Nonetheless,the Strange Fire’s appearance would make the battle more interesting,rather than a one-sided fight.It was also an opportunity to experience the power of Strange Fire firsthand,valuable for an alchemist like him.

After consuming various high-grade pills,Duanmu Longque had mostly recovered.He transformed into a blaze of fire and entered the arena.He hadn’t heard the earlier conversation,but even if he had,he wouldn’t have cared.

To him,Han Luoyu was the only real opponent.Now that Han Luoyu was defeated,no one from Tai Xuan Sect could challenge him.

As the two entered the arena,the crowd buzzed again.

“Tai Xuan Sect is really persistent,not giving up and sending Meng Changqing to try.”

“As a major sect,they can’t just surrender without a fight.”

“True,but the reality is harsh.Meng Changqing probably won’t last five moves.”

Boom!Boom!

The two figures landed in the arena.Duanmu Longque,still bare-chested,was gradually engulfed in green flames,raising the temperature to a terrifying level,as if to burn everything to ashes.

“Meng…Changqing,is it?Your swordsmanship is impressive.Given time,you might pose a threat to me,but not now,”Duanmu Longque said,recalling Meng Changqing’s battles and his impression of the”Sacred Spirit Slaughter Sword Technique.”

“I advise you to surrender.Otherwise,your fate may be worse than Han Luoyu’s.”

“Surrender?That’s what I wanted to say to you.I tend to be heavy-handed,so my master specifically reminded me not to kill you,”Meng Changqing smiled,seemingly unaffected by the surrounding flames.
