Chapter 928: Shattered Hope (Please Subscribe)_1
For a long while, these disciples eventually snapped out of their shock, each of them inhaling sharply...
One of the disciples, unwilling to believe the scene before his eyes, quickly rubbed his eyes; but when he saw that Ye Peng was still planted upside down in the pit, he said with a face full of astonishment, "Joking... You're joking, right? It's over just like that??? Surely, I must be looking at it wrong!"
Another disciple's mouth hung open, and at last, trembling, he managed to utter, "The incredibly strong Brother Ye Peng was actually killed in one move by that guy from the Tianlong Sect??? How is this possible!"
"How shameful! To be knocked out with just one move, and here I thought Ye Peng was strong, turns out he's just a weakling!"
"Wasn't he just about to defeat that guy from the Tianlong Sect? And yet he's lying there like a corpse now, this must be a performance, right?"
"I suspect that Starfall Sect's Ye Peng took a bribe! This needs a thorough investigation!"
"Xu Sheng!!! Xu Sheng!! Xu Sheng"
On the other side, the corners of the Starfall Sect Master's mouth couldn't help but twitch...
He felt as if his cheeks were burning with pain, having just bragged about claiming first place for his sect in this grand competition of five sects; who would have known his own disciple would be incapacitated with a single move!
Seeing the situation in the dueling area, the Water Ripple Sect Master couldn't help but let out a few "Pfft!" laughs...
Being a Sect Master himself, he normally wouldn't laugh, unless he couldn't help himself!
The Mountain Sect Master next to him was also looking at the Starfall Sect Master with a mocking gaze...
This made the Starfall Sect Master's face become exceedingly sullen, yet he didn't know what to retort...
Only the Luo Yun Sect's Sect Master shook his head helplessly, speaking with a sigh, "It seems that this competition of the five sects is ready to be dominated by the Tianlong Sect."
The one with his hands behind his back, always wearing a slight smile, acknowledged, "Admit it!"
This time, first place was secured!
...
Xu Sheng glanced at Ye Peng, who was still upside down with his head buried in the ground, then once again lifted his leg and brutally stomped on Ye Peng's back...
"Bang!!"
Another deafening noise spread, and the ground once again cracked a bit further around...
Ye Peng's upper body was also forcibly driven into the ground by this immense force...
Seeing this, Xu Sheng turned around, speaking in an indifferent tone, "It's over."
However, just as he was about to step away, the huge pit behind him began to tremble slightly, and a feeble voice followed...
"It's... It's not over yet! You... can't possibly defeat me!"
Hearing this voice, Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered a few times, "Oh? Still not dead after that?"
This scene directly made Starfall Sect's disciples' blood boil with excitement!
Who said their Brother Ye Peng was defeated in one move? Here he was, getting back up!!
The reason he ended up like this before must have been because he was careless and didn't dodge!
"Brother Ye Peng hasn't lost! Once he climbs out, it will be Xu Sheng's turn to suffer a miserable defeat!"
"Just as I thought! How could Brother Ye Peng, who could unleash that terrifying martial technique before, be taken down with just one move!"
"Rise up, Brother Ye Peng! Rise up, Brother Ye Peng! Let these people see your true strength!!"
"Brother Ye Peng! Brother Ye Peng!"
Lin Moxue's Beautiful Eyes stared at the trembling pit, pondering silently, "To still have the ability to move after taking such a heavy blow..."
Concern filled her heart, as it was all too common that in situations like this, the one on the verge of a pitiful defeat would make a comeback!
Ling Yue, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it; she clenched her fists and said, "What does it matter if he wakes up, he's definitely no match for Xu Sheng!"
...
"Once I rise from this pit, you will surely become my, Ye Peng's, defeated foe!"
After these words rang out, Ye Peng, whose upper body was half-buried in the giant pit, began to use all his strength to pull himself out, followed by his head smeared with crimson blood…
Just as he thought he was about to emerge from the pit and rise again…
A sudden cold voice nearby sent shivers down his spine as though he had fallen into an ice cellar…
"Did I allow you to get up?"
The speaker was none other than Xu Sheng, whose dark eyes were shimmering with endless black light…
The next moment, he gathered a large amount of spiritual power in his right leg…
Profound Grade Top-Tier Martial Technique, Sonic Boom Leg!!
He aimed directly at Ye Peng's back, which had just moved out of the pit, and stomped down again!
"Boom!!"
An explosive sound like thunder burst forth in an instant and surged around…
The force of his martial technique was utterly incomparable to before…
It even caused the ground within a radius of more than ten meters to collapse continuously, completely burying Ye Peng's body underneath…
Sensing that Ye Peng's aura was constantly dissipating, Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Now, he should be truly dead, right?"
This kick twisted the faces of the Starfall Sect disciples, who still held hopes for Ye Peng, into expressions of sheer madness…
"Oh my God! Does this guy have to be so cruel? Brother Ye Peng hasn't even climbed out of the pit yet!!"
"This guy is simply devoid of martial ethics, launching a sneak attack on our severely injured Brother Ye Peng! Pah!"
"That said, after taking such a terrifying move, could Brother Ye Peng possibly survive?"
"Survive my ass! Go up there and try it for yourself and you'll know!"
Meanwhile, the disciples from the other sects couldn't help but burst into laughter…
"Pfft, I can't take this anymore, this Ye Peng just got up and got stomped back down, I'm afraid he won't get over that mental trauma for a lifetime"
"This guy is too ruthless, directly cooling down the fiery blood that the Starfall Sect disciples had finally started boiling!"
"Lucky it wasn't that Li Yan earlier, otherwise the scene would be even more ridiculous!"
"Xu Sheng's actions are brutal; he's clearly not here to spar, but to kill! I propose that his qualification should be revoked!!"
"Revoke your ass! Didn't you see it was that damned Ye Peng who launched the killing move first?"
"Exactly! If he can be so easily stomped to death with that simple move, why bother participating in the Five Sects Grand Tournament, just to disgrace himself?"
...
On the other side, faced with this highly insulting situation, the Starfall Sect Master looked towards Luo Yun with an unfriendly gaze, and his tone took on a few degrees of coldness as he said, "Sect Master Luo, isn't your Tianlong Sect disciple going a bit too far?"
To think he would bury the disciple who had finally crawled out of the pit back down again…
This was not just a slap in the face to Ye Peng, but also to their Starfall Sect!
Luo Yun nodded gravely, "Indeed, Xu Sheng's strike was a bit too forceful."
He then changed his tone, "But it was also because Ye Peng chose not to surrender that Xu Sheng made that move. Should we have waited for him to recover before striking? That surely wouldn't be fair, would it?"
The Starfall Sect Master, hearing this perfect explanation, was immediately at a loss for words…
The flicker of anger that had just risen in his heart seemed to dissipate without a trace…
The Luo Yun Sect's Sect Master astutely analyzed, "Indeed, since Ye Peng didn't surrender and chose to continue fighting, then what Xu Sheng did was indeed correct!"
"It's impossible to wait for the opponent to be ready before taking action. What kind of sparring would that be?"
As for the Water Ripple Sect Master and Mountain Sect Master sitting silently nearby, their sinister eyes revealed their wish for the two to start fighting...
