Seeing Xu Sheng's action, Feng Ruochen hesitantly stopped in his tracks, his gaze filled with doubt as it swept over Xu Sheng and the two clones beside him. He thought to himself, "What kind of technique is this? It's so bizarre!"
He could actually split into two clones! And he could feel a force not inferior to his own emanating from within these clones!
However, it wasn't just him! Even the disciples below were stunned...
One of the disciples' eyes widened as he exclaimed, "What... what kind of martial technique is that? It can actually summon clones??"
Another disciple swallowed hard, shocked, "Such a powerful martial technique!! There's no way Xu Sheng has just joined Xuantian Sect; otherwise, how could he know so many martial techniques!"
"Those two clones seem to also possess certain strength; the situation has suddenly turned into three against one!"
"Tsk, nothing but despicable tricks. Even if it's three people, how could they possibly defeat a Golden Core Stage Senior Brother Feng!"
Realizing that Xu Sheng had unleashed "One Qi Transforms into Three Clears" technique, Mu Qingge frowned deeply and said, "Damn it, what kind of martial technique is this? How come I don't know of such a martial technique from our sect's Martial Skill Pavilion??"
Luo Qingyang's eyes narrowed slightly, then settled on Yun Churan, saying in a detached tone, "I'm afraid this martial technique is not from our Xuantian Sect."
Ling Luoyan licked her tender, thin lips, a hint of seriousness in her tone, "Xu Sheng really surprises me every time. What do you say, Junior Sister Yun, should we consider making an exception and recruiting Xu Sheng for Miao Miao Peak?"
To be able to learn three martial techniques within a few days of joining Xuantian Sect! Such talent is simply terrifying!
Mu Qingge's lips curved up in an arc, turning to Yun Churan who was beside her, speaking softly, "Junior Sister, this martial technique must be the 'One Qi Transforms into Three Clears' you used back then, right?"
He had seen Yun Churan use this move before, but that was a long time ago...
Yun Churan's beautiful eyes showed a hint of astonishment as she replied softly, "Yes! It's a Profound Grade Top-Tier Martial Technique!"
"One Qi Transforms into Three Clears"! He hadn't expected that even this martial technique of Profound Grade had been learned by Xu Sheng!
The difficulty to cultivate it was almost equivalent to cultivating an Earth-tier Martial Technique...
With this in mind, it was possible Xu Sheng might have successfully cultivated an Earth-tier Martial Technique??
Seeing Yun Churan deep in thought, Mu Qingge simply expressed admiration, "Profound Grade Superior? Truly an unmistakable genius. In just a short few days, to have successfully cultivated such a high-level martial technique!"
...
Xu Sheng's eyes turned towards Feng Ruochen, who had stopped in front of him, and he said with a light laugh, "Senior Brother Feng, now it has become three against one!"
This smile appeared completely insulting in the eyes of Feng Ruochen!
For a moment, an unnamed rage ignited deep within him...
His violet eyes fixated on the two clones as he uttered coldly, "Hmph! If I'm not mistaken, the spiritual power in your body must have been divided into three parts. I could exhaust your spiritual power even if it takes some time!"
Xu Sheng did not bother to explain further, and simply stated, "Senior Brother Feng really is confident! Let's give it a try then!"
No sooner had the words fallen than the two clones at his side, as if they had their own consciousness, simultaneously used Cripple Step to rush towards Feng Ruochen...
This unbelievable scene made Feng Ruochen clench his teeth tightly, thinking to himself, "What? The clones can use martial techniques??"
However, not a trace of fear appeared on his face as he dashed forward, wielding his personal sword and engaging in a back-and-forth tussle with Xu Sheng's two clones.
Seeing this unfold, the corners of Xu Sheng's mouth turned upward in an arc...
He had achieved his goal! Although lifting the second seal would allow him to easily overwhelm his opponent, there was absolutely no need!
In the next moment, with a motion of Xu Sheng's hand, the Tianyu Sword floating by his side instantly levitated into the air. He sat down cross-legged, beginning to restore the spiritual power within his body...
The Xuantian Sect disciples who witnessed this scene all felt a sense of imbalance, and cursed loudly, "Fuck!! Does Xu Sheng have no shame?? Recovering spiritual power during battle!!"
"How big is this guy's heart? Isn't he afraid of a sudden blade stabbing his waist?"
"I've never seen anyone who could calmly recover spiritual power in the midst of a duel! Xu Sheng's maneuver is truly fucking brilliant!"
"Enforcement Hall Elder, isn't this guy breaking the rules?? Trying to win with such despicable tactics!"
Hearing what this disciple said, the helplessly coughing Enforcement Hall Elder explained, "The Five Peaks Competition doesn't specify that recovering spiritual power during a duel is prohibited..."
He didn't like this method of winning either, but indeed there was no explicit rule about this situation in the Five Peaks Competition!
So it wasn't right to arbitrarily interrupt the duel!
Feng Ruochen, who was battling against the two clones, had obviously noticed Xu Sheng recovering spiritual power cross-legged in the sky and chastised, "This is simply too outrageous!!"
He infused a large amount of spiritual power into his personal sword and, after blasting the two clones away with a single strike...
He resolutely executed the Mid-Grade Profound Martial Skill! Annihilation Slash!!
A breath of annihilation surged into the sword, the edge of the entire blade became shrouded in a pitch-black halo, and he fiercely slashed towards Xu Sheng in the sky...
In an instant, a swath of black Sword Qi stretching dozens of meters long, carrying the power to shred everything, assaulted Xu Sheng...
The Sword Qi struck Xu Sheng's body with precision, and with a "puchi!" sound, his entire being exploded into a mist of blood scattering in the sky...
The pupils of Yun Cong, who was observing the battle from below, filled with blood as he instantly erupted in towering killing intent, a terrifying pressure exploding out in an instant...
"He actually killed Junior Brother Xu!! I'll slaughter that bastard!!"
Mu Yun's pupils constricted, and he quickly grasped Yun Cong, coaxing, "Senior Brother Yun!! Don't be impulsive! Calm down and carefully sense it, Junior Brother Xu's presence has not vanished!!"
Mo Qingyue also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Senior Brother Yun, don't be agitated, Junior Brother Xu's presence has not disappeared!!"
She knew that if she didn't stop Yun Cong, with his temperament, he would definitely kill that Feng Ruochen in front of everyone!
After carefully sensing Xu Sheng's aura for a moment, Yun Cong's raging killing intent was then suppressed...
...
Feng Ruochen, with a cold smile looking at the scattered bloodstains in the air, said, "Accidentally killed him? My apologies then! That's what you get for daring to recover spiritual power during a duel!!"
Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, a chilling voice came from behind, "Senior Brother Feng, who exactly did you say you've killed?"
Feng Ruochen's eyes narrowed as he thought, "Damn it!!"
Before he could react, his chest was suddenly penetrated by the Tianyu Sword radiating a golden light, followed swiftly by Xu Sheng kicking him in the abdomen and sending him flying...
The sent-flying Feng Ruochen spat out blood with a "pfft," landed on the ground, tumbled a few times before finally stabilizing his figure...
His eyes glanced at the blur of flesh and blood on his chest, and he stared at the approaching Xu Sheng, filled with anger, "Damn it!! How is this possible!! I clearly didn't see you dodge!"
A few more traces of coldness appeared in Xu Sheng's dark pupils, "Senior Brother Feng, did I ever tell you that was my true body?"
His true body had been battling against Feng Ruochen from the beginning to end!
