The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

Zhao Zhijing, sitting in the audience, rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

He wondered if he had misread it.

Zhang Zhilin was at a disadvantage in terms of moves as soon as he made his move?

When did Wang Jiuling's martial arts improve so much? No, no! It's because that bastard Zhang Zhilin underestimated him!

Sure enough, on the stage, Zhang Zhilin finally realized what was happening.

He underestimated his opponent! The Wang Jiuling before him was no longer the junior brother who had just gained a place among the third generation during last year's minor competition.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Zhilin caught a glimpse of Zhao Zhijing, whose face was gloomy below the stage. His heart tightened, and he gripped the wooden sword in his hand even tighter.

"Junior brother, your swordsmanship is excellent!"

As he spoke, he raised his sword, clearly serious, and took the initiative to attack Wang Jiuling.

His swordsmanship also began to become more aggressive.

But Wang Jiuling is not the same as before. Zhang Zhilin's Quanzhen sword technique, which is considered extremely proficient among the third-generation disciples, is not really that impressive in Wang Jiuling's eyes.

Zhang Zhilin first unleashed a move called "Vast Waves," and then, drawing upon the raging momentum of "Vast Waves," he followed up with a move called "Great River Like a Stream."

It is bold and unrestrained, quite upright.

However, in Wang Jiuling's eyes, there was a clear sluggishness in his sword moves.

In that instant, Wang Jiuling recalled how, when he had changed his move in front of Wang Chongyang, he had been caught off guard by a tree branch that struck his wrist, causing him to lose his sword.

At that time, he, like Zhang Zhilin in front of him, thought his sword moves were fluid enough.

Memories are fleeting; the next second, Wang Jiuling moved.

He stepped forward with a powerful stride, and in the brief moment of opening, his wooden sword struck Zhang Zhilin's weakness at an unexpected angle.

If someone from the Ancient Tomb Sect were here, they would immediately recognize that this sword strike is remarkably similar to a certain move in the Ancient Tomb Sect's sword techniques!

The two were now very close. Wang Jiuling's expression remained unchanged, but Zhang Zhilin's expression changed.

Because of the cunning nature of Wang Jiuling's sword strike, Zhang Zhilin, the person directly involved, felt it most acutely.

He felt as if his arm, which was about to draw its sword, was completely locked onto by Wang Jiuling's sword.

He was certain that if he didn't dodge and insisted on completing the sword strike, his own hand would be cut by Wang Jiuling's sword before his sword could even pose a threat to Wang Jiuling!

This is an extremely terrifying feeling.

It's as if their understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Quanzhen Swordplay is on different levels.

His full-force sword moves were full of openings in the eyes of his opponent!

How is that possible?

He could only forcibly stop his attack, but the result of doing so was even more fatal. When Wang Jiuling saw him stop his sword, he immediately took advantage of the situation and used the move "A Leaf in a Small Boat".

This small boat is well-balanced in both offense and defense. When Wang Jiuling uses it, he can both pursue the enemy and prevent them from counterattacking.

Is it truly a position where one can both attack and defend?

Such a seasoned swordsmanship made Qiu Chuji, who was in the pavilion in the distance, gasp in surprise and turn to look at Wang Chuyi.

"Junior brother! How can Jiuling's Quanzhen swordsmanship be so exquisite? When did you teach him to be so excellent?"

Even the sect leader, Ma Yu, nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Okay!"

At this moment, Wang Chuyi himself was also extremely shocked.

Please, while that child was excellent before coming down the mountain, he wasn't nearly as capable as he is now. He hasn't properly taught the child in the past few months; this credit probably doesn't belong to him...

It's highly likely that the child is just naturally quick to learn.

However, Wang Chuyi was too embarrassed to say it aloud, so he simply pretended to be calm and picked up his cup to take a sip of tea.

"Ahem!"

"Senior brothers, there's no need to be surprised! Jiu Ling... he... he's sensible and diligent!"

"This progress is a reward for his hard work!"

The other members of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Zhang Zhilin had been exchanging sword moves with Wang Jiuling for a long time, but he was completely suppressed by Wang Jiuling.

Sweat began to bead on his forehead.

No way! If we fight like this, losing is a small matter compared to failing Zhao Zhijing's mission!

A strange light flashed in Zhang Zhilin's eyes.

He suddenly felt that perhaps now was the time for him to strike hard.

Their competition will proceed from swordsmanship to internal energy cultivation.

At this moment, both of them were using the Quanzhen Sword Technique and were not using their internal energy to compete.

If they wanted to use internal force, they should have waited until the swordplay had determined the winner before they started.

Zhang Zhilin, however, decided to use his internal energy directly.

His thought was: if he used his internal force to launch a sneak attack and injure Wang Jiuling at this moment, firstly, he could explain himself to Zhao Zhijing, and secondly, he could say that he lost the sword move to Wang Jiuling and acted on impulse.

This way, it can be described as an accident, avoiding the perception that he intentionally injured someone.

At this moment, Zhang Zhilin had been forced into a corner by Wang Jiuling's terrifying sword moves.

The audience held their breath, and Zhao Zhijing was practically grinding his teeth.

Inside the attic, Wang Chuyi was so engrossed in crushing the cup in his hand.

Everyone thought that Zhang Zhilin's swordsmanship was going to be defeated by Wang Jiuling.

But the next second, something unexpected happened!

A fierce glint flashed in Zhang Zhilin's eyes, and he roared inwardly.

"Junior brother! Don't blame me!"

He suddenly unleashed his inner strength and used the Golden Goose Skill, leaping into the air and dodging Wang Jiuling's sword moves. At the same time, he dropped the wooden sword, channeled his inner strength into his arm, and slammed it down towards Wang Jiuling!

"Junior brother, be careful!!"

Cui Zhifang was the first to react, and he shouted to remind Wang Jiuling.

The others stared wide-eyed as well.

What? Why did Zhang Zhilin suddenly use his internal energy?!

If this palm strike landed on Wang Jiuling, the consequences would be unimaginable!

In the attic, Director Wang suddenly stood up, and the expressions of the others also changed.

But they were too far apart, and even with their superior martial arts skills, they couldn't get there in time.

Just when everyone thought Wang Jiuling was going to suffer a great loss, he himself remained completely calm.

He had a ulterior motive from the moment he saw Zhao Zhijing and Zhang Zhilin exchanging glances.

He had seen the change in Zhang Zhilin's expression just now.

Most importantly, Wang Jiuling's current level of internal energy cultivation gives him the confidence to remain calm!

He was prepared!

At this moment, the advantages of the Innate Skill became apparent.

Wang Jiuling's innate true energy circulated rapidly. He had no intention of dodging at all, but instead raised his palm to meet Zhang Zhilin's palm.

Instantly, the internal energy and true qi of the two surged from their clashing palms.

boom!

After a dull thud, the two separated.

Wang Jiuling gracefully retreated to deflect the force, while Zhang Zhilin, being from top to bottom, had no ability to deflect the force.

Upon landing, his right palm went numb from the impact.

At this moment, looking at Wang Jiuling, who, although delayed, quickly brought down his surging blood pressure and was clearly unharmed.

Everyone fell silent.

This is unbelievable!

Zhang Zhilin, a top performer in the second tier among the third generation of Quanzhen disciples, first used his internal energy to launch a sneak attack on the young man during the duel.

Is this all the result is?

Is this reasonable?
