In the following few days, as expected, Lin Xing advanced to the semi - finals with irresistible force.
This was something everyone had anticipated.
However, there was a huge upset this time. Zhang Xiaofan from Big Bamboo Peak, who was unknown, actually also made it to the semi - finals! In the initial matches, everyone thought he was just lucky. In each match, that Zhang Xiaofan looked disheveled.
But damn it, in that in a tight corner state, he still won in the end!
And even made it to the semi - finals!
Truly, one should never judge a person by their appearance!
"This session of the Seven - Peak Martial Arts Competition is full of surprises!" Elder Cangsong had been particularly talkative recently. Two of his disciples had secured spots in the top four, which made him very proud.
Elder Zeng Shuchang beside him frowned upon hearing this but remained silent.
He had originally thought that his disciple Zeng Shushu could make it to the semi - finals, but he unfortunately encountered that freak Lin Xing and was quickly defeated and sent off the stage.
"The new generation replaces the old."
Dao Xuan sat on the high platform, looking at the Qingyun disciples below, beaming with joy.
The Water - Qilin? If it's gone, it's gone. I, Dao Xuan, have cultivated two figures like Patriarch Qingye. Who can deny this achievement? One is Su Lingfeng, and the other is Lin Xing. Given another hundred years, not only will we be the leaders of the righteous path, but it won't be difficult to wipe out the Demonic Sect in one fell swoop!
Dao Xuan was excited. This time, the experience in Kongsang Mountain would be another glorious moment for the Qingyun Sect!
On the arena, Lin Xing stood facing the wind, simultaneously circulating the cultivation methods of Buddhism, Taoism, and the Demonic Sect. His elegant demeanor far surpassed that of Qi Hao opposite him!
"Senior Brother, please!" Lin Xing drew his sword and said politely.
"Junior Brother Lin, come on!"
"Defeat Qi Hao!"
"Junior Brother Lin, you must win!"
"..."
Qi Hao's suave response was drowned out by a group of Little Bamboo Peak disciples.
Evidently, in terms of popularity, Qi Hao was firmly outshined by Lin Xing.
Actually, in terms of overall popularity, Qi Hao still surpassed Lin Xing. However, for men, they attach more importance to the support of women. So, when countless female disciples from Little Bamboo Peak sided with Lin Xing, Qi Hao's face darkened.
Qi Hao considered himself to be handsome, both talented in literature and martial arts, with both ability and eloquence! But those female disciples from Little Bamboo Peak! Why didn't they support him!!!!
How could he know that in order to inquire about Su Lingfeng's news, Lin Xing had been telling stories these days until his throat was hoarse. The incident with Fa Hai was an accident! Lin Xing, having reflected deeply, these days' stories were the essence of thousands of years of Chinese culture! The female disciples of Little Bamboo Peak were so touched that they were in tears. Thus, the relationship was drawn closer.
In front of such emotional creatures as women, a story was more effective than a hundred Cooling Pearls. Qi Hao, who only knew about cultivation and thought that giving a few pearls meant he was well - versed in human relationships, was far behind Lin Xing.
Moreover, there was the connection with Wen Min! Many people in Little Bamboo Peak knew that Lin Xing and Wen Min, two orphans, hit it off immediately and became sworn siblings. Taking sides with their kin rather than with reason was also a common trait among women!!
So, Qi Hao was in a sorry state.
The great romantic, Qi Hao, slightly turned his head and looked down at the audience. Tian Ling'er was dressed in a fiery - red dress, her face glowing.
Qi Hao sent a passionate look her way, and Tian Ling'er returned a passionate look.
But!
Qi Hao was furious!
You're flirting with me! Why do you always look in Lin Xing's direction!?
What, do you also think he's more handsome than me!?
No!!
I, Qi Hao, am the most handsome person!! The most handsome!!!!
Lin Xing is nothing but a piece of trash!!
Qi Hao angrily turned his head back and ignored Tian Ling'er.
"Senior Brother Qi..." Tian Ling'er called out in a low voice.
Senior Brother Qi, I'm sorry. Junior Brother Lin worked hard all night before the competition to help me with my cultivation. My lips are still a bit swollen. Junior Brother Lin must be even more tired from activating the magic treasure.
I've already caused trouble for Junior Brother Lin. If I cheer for you, Junior Brother Lin will surely be unhappy.
Tian Ling'er licked her lips, feeling a bit guilty.
However, after these few days, she seemed to have gotten used to the smell of that magic treasure. Tian Ling'er thought again.
What exactly was that magic treasure?
...
Seeing that Tian Ling'er didn't show any sign of cheering for him, Qi Hao became even more furious!
These days, whenever I asked you out, you always made all kinds of excuses! Why on earth is that!!
And what's that unpleasant smell in your mouth!!
Am I, Qi Hao, not good - looking and outstanding enough to be worthy of you!?
Damn it!!
And you women from Little Bamboo Peak, you're really blind! I, Qi Hao, am mature and steady. How am I inferior to this brat Lin Xing!?
Qi Hao's face was gloomy, and he looked at Lin Xing with a murderous aura.
"Senior Brother Qi, are you not feeling well?" Lin Xing thoroughly demonstrated the fine tradition of respecting the elders and caring for the young, asking Qi Hao with a look of curiosity.
"I'm, quite, well." Qi Hao slowly drew out "Han Bing" and tried to calm himself down.
"Oh! That's good! I was worried that you were unwell, Senior Brother. If that were the case, it wouldn't be a fair victory for me!" Lin Xing lowered his voice, filled with deep concern.
The veins on Qi Hao's hand holding the sword bulged as he forcibly suppressed his anger.
"Thank you for your concern, Junior Brother!"
It wasn't that Lin Xing was petty. This Qi Hao was really despicable! Luring Tian Ling'er away was bad enough. Just now, when the Little Bamboo Peak disciples were cheering for him, Lin Xing clearly sensed the fleeting malice in Qi Hao!
Arrogant! Conceited! Self - righteous!
The idea of eradicating demons and upholding justice was ingrained from childhood and couldn't be changed! But strip away this facade, and what was left?
Just an ordinary person!
Even, in some aspects, more hypocritical! Even worse!!
Lin Xing drew out the fairy sword on his back and made up his mind to teach this guy a lesson.
"Senior Brother, actually, I really don't want to fight you! But I know that you have a broad mind and don't care much about victory or defeat. If I don't go all out, it would be an insult to you!"
Lin Xing put on a good show, looking very imposing.
"Senior Brother, here I come!"
Before making a move, Lin Xing took a quick glance at the audience and finally fixed his eyes on the huge breasts on Tian Ling'er's chest. Tsk tsk, what a hot figure!
Tian Ling'er met his gaze and smiled sweetly, her eyes full of gratitude. vaguely,there were also glistening tears of emotion.
Lin Xing!!!!!!!!
Qi Hao let out a furious roar in his heart, his face turning deathly pale, and his teeth almost biting through his lips.
Ling'er, you slut! When did you start having an affair with Lin Xing!!
Qi Hao suddenly felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and the world turned gloomy. Overcome with anger, he almost fainted.
"I! Will! Kill! You!"
Qi Hao completely dropped his pretense and said in a voice only Lin Xing could hear.
"Senior Brother Qi, what are you talking about? What's wrong with you?" Lin Xing continued to play innocent, determined to disgust this old guy to death!
"Ah ah ————" Qi Hao instantly swung his Han Bing, his fingers deftly forming magic formulas. One ice - wall after another spread rapidly around him. The entire arena had become a realm of ice.
"Senior Brother Qi is using his killing move!"
"This is Senior Brother Qi's 'Ice Sword Snowfield'!"
"..."
Hearing the praises from Qi Hao's fans, a flash of pride crossed Qi Hao's face.
The entire arena was now his battlefield!
But suddenly, Qi Hao found that the arena was moving!
Getting farther and farther away, farther and farther away.
And the ground, why was it sinking?
This was —— The astonished faces of Qi Hao's fans were reflected in his eyes. Looking at those changing faces, Qi Hao felt short of breath, his head dizzy, and even in his heart, he wanted to kill all these people with a single sword!
Damn it!!!!
A malicious feeling rose in Qi Hao's heart. The anger was so overwhelming that it made his chest tight. Qi Hao's eyes went black, and he fainted.
Boom!!!!
Qi Hao fell to the ground, unconscious.
