Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Qin Guang took a step forward, and suddenly his aura was like a mountain range rising up. In the vast sky and earth, a fierce tiger seemed to be roaring to the sky, its sound shaking the heavens and the earth.

"This is the first cut."

The character "刀" (knife) fell.

A flash of light appeared.

The world before Ren Yao's eyes was severed by a single slash. The golden blade light tore through the void, ripped apart her protective spiritual energy, snapped her white jade sword, and even ripped her Taoist robe, revealing a shocking gash on her fair chest.

puff--

Blood splattered.

Just one cut.

Ren Yao couldn't even put up a fight or let out a wail before she was slashed and sent flying, crashing into the sword formation before slowly landing on the ground.

Her defenses, her protective spiritual energy... were all as fragile as blank paper.

As Ren Yao slowly landed and gradually lost consciousness, the seven adjudicators exchanged glances, gasped in shock, and then pronounced the outcome of the duel.

"The victor is... Qin Guang, a disciple of Elder Sanfeng."

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven sword formations slowly disappeared.

The first person to rush onto the stage was a beautiful figure.

"Junior Sister Ren... Junior Sister Ren!!"

Li Junxiao rushed to Ren Yao and immediately began to examine her injuries. Looking at the extremely gruesome wound on her chest, which was bleeding profusely, he felt a lump in his throat and had the urge to cry.

She shook Ren Yao's body. Ren Yao had already fainted. Although the wound was not life-threatening, it was enough to keep Ren Yao in bed for ten days to half a month.

This silly girl, how could this silly girl be so stupid?!

The power of that strike was already close to the peak of the Kaiyuan Realm. How could Ren Yao, who was only at the Transformation God Stage, possibly withstand that strike?!

On the stage.

Qin Guang glanced at Li Junxiao, who had his back to him, then turned around and called out to the crowd.

"Li Zhe, come up here and treat Junior Sister Ren's wounds, then take her directly to my room."

"okay!"

Li Zhe chuckled and then walked onto the stage.

He glanced at Li Junxiao with an unfriendly expression, pushed her aside, and said indifferently, "Junior Sister Li, please move aside a bit. I still need to treat Junior Sister Ren's wounds."

Li Junxiao trembled with rage, glaring at Li Zhe with a chilling look: "You can't take her away!!"

"Can't?" Li Zhe couldn't help but sneer. "This is our Senior Brother Qin Guang's dual cultivation partner. What, she personally acknowledged that bet just now. Do you want to go back on your word?"

"I……"

"Stop talking to me like that, get out of the way!"

Li Zhe pushed Li Junxiao away, and then, in front of everyone, casually treated Ren Yao's wounds a couple of times before carrying the unconscious Ren Yao on his back.

As he walked off the stage, he glanced back at Li Junxiao, leaving behind a message:

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Li, you'll have a chance to meet Junior Sister Ren later—"

"As Qin Shixiong's Daoist partner."

After speaking, he laughed loudly and walked off the stage.

Many people in the crowd looked at Li Junxiao with extreme disgust, but none of them dared to stand up and stop Li Zhe.

They could only watch as Li Zhe carried the unconscious Ren Yao toward the manor where Qin Guang was.

My soul is trembling.

The body was trembling.

Anger surged through the woman's head; she stood on the ring and refused to leave.

Instead, he dug his nails into his palms, letting anger and hatred flood his pupils, allowing his restless heart and the murderous intent surging from the depths of his soul to control him.

Li Junxiao flicked his right hand, and his storage ring flashed.

Her own jet-black scabbard, adorned with starlight, emerged from the scabbard. She gripped it so tightly that she seemed to want to crush it, her teeth clenched as if she wanted to shatter her own.

"Oh, that look in your eyes is quite interesting."

Qin Guang maintained a playful expression, merely smiling disdainfully at Li Junxiao, whose eyes held only a pool of stagnant water called hatred.

Li Junxiao stood in the spot where Ren Yao had stood when she went on stage, without even glancing at the seven judges.

Her words seemed to travel through a vast expanse of icy snowfields, carried by a biting, cold wind.

"I want to challenge Qin Guang."

Li Junxiao held the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt in his right, drawing a dark-colored longsword from the Starry Sky scabbard.

The sword reflected the woman's extremely cold eyes.

With a flick of her wrist, she swung her sword, and a sharp blade of light grazed Qin Guang's neck as it flew away.

A swift gust of wind ruffled Qin Guang's neat black short hair, but Qin Guang's face remained cold as he couldn't help but let out a sinister smile.

The sword's edge pointed directly at Qin Guang's repulsive face.

Li Junxiao stared at him, as if his gaze was completely locked on him, and let those resentful words come out of his mouth.

"Do not--"

She corrected her statement.

An endless killing intent burst forth from that slender body, and Li Junxiao's words, spoken slowly and deliberately, echoed throughout the entire Ranshan Sect.

"Today, I will kill you!"

19. The curtain falls?

"Kill me?"

Qin Guang, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, spread his hands and laughed loudly: "Kill me? Li Junxiao, no one in this Ranshan Sect has been born yet who can kill me!"

"Even if it were you, you couldn't even hurt me, let alone kill me!"

"Then let's give it a try."

Li Junxiao closed his eyes, showing neither sorrow nor joy.

Seeing Li Junxiao's attitude, Qin Guang simply snorted and then gave the seven adjudicators a wink.

The seven judges exchanged glances again, and then made the same decision.

"The second challenge... Li Junxiao, a disciple of Jiufeng."

"Challenge Qin Guang, disciple of the Three Peaks Elder—"

"Let's begin!"

Qin Guang wouldn't joke around with Li Junxiao like he did with Ren Yao.

After all, Li Junxiao had the cultivation of the initial stage of the Kaiyuan Realm, which was not on the same level as Ren Yao, who was only at the peak of the Transformation God Realm.

That being said—

But Qin Guang still didn't take Li Junxiao seriously.

He gripped his long sword tightly in his right hand, facing Li Junxiao who remained silent with his eyes closed, and sneered: "Playing the devil or a god, who are you trying to fool?"

Qin Guang didn't believe that Li Junxiao could predict his sword path even with his eyes closed.

He created a ripple with his footsteps, and using the recoil, he was launched like a cannonball. The longsword engraved with a golden tiger suddenly let out a deafening roar, and at the same time, his sword intent was fully unleashed.

This strike will show Li Junxiao just how big the gap is between her and Qin Guang!

With a single slash, it was like a tiger descending the mountain, its ferocity far surpassing that of ordinary swordsmanship!

however--

Ding!

As the sound of metal clashing echoed, sparks of spiritual energy also flew everywhere!

Qin Guang was startled. He had already put seven or eight tenths of his strength into this strike, but the dark sword was blocking his blade. His proud sword intent could not harm Li Junxiao in the slightest!

what happened? !

"Junior Sister Ren has already found out your background for me, but your first strike..."

Li Junxiao raised his head, and in his extremely cold eyes was Qin Guang's astonished expression.

She glared coldly, but then swung her sword around in a flash!

As the immense force struck, Qin Guang was startled to find that Li Junxiao's strength was comparable to his own, and he immediately retreated a few steps.

But how could Li Junxiao give Qin Guang a chance to create distance? Stepping with the Lightning Sword Step, he quickly closed in and launched a swift thrust at Qin Guang's side.

At that moment, Qin Guang clearly felt it.

Whether in terms of speed or strength, Li Junxiao was much stronger than when they fought before, and the moment this sword was thrust out, he realized Li Junxiao's cultivation level.

Kaiyuan Realm... Minor Success!

And it's not far from its peak!

Qin Guang's cultivation level had only reached the Lesser Completion of the Opening Origin Realm before the sect competition! In terms of cultivation, Li Junxiao, who was originally one realm lower than him, was now several levels higher!

A barrage of sharp swords came hurtling towards him, and Qin Guang was momentarily at a loss for what to do. He kept dodging backward and desperately trying to defend himself against the sword strikes coming from his blind spot.

For a moment, Qin Guang was at a disadvantage.

Such a scene was a great surprise to Xun Ranqing, the sect leader of Ranshan Sect!

Because he actually saw a glimmer of hope that Li Junxiao could defeat Qin Guang!

This made the elderly sect leader turn his smug gaze to Jin He, but when he saw Jin He's unchanging smiling face, his heart skipped a beat.

Jin He did not feel anxious at all; on the contrary, he seemed to have victory in his grasp.

what happened?
