"Could it be," Elder Xu mused, "that Xu Sheng actually knew Immortal Rank Martial Arts all along and was intentionally hiding it? And this time, he revealed it because he has the pretext of training in the Duanmu Clan's Scripture Vault to cover it up?"
In an instant, Zhou Qingruo started to associate the eerie improvements in Xu Sheng's cultivation level, which almost always occurred at the edge of crisis!
But why would he do such a thing?
After pondering for a while, Zhou Qingruo still couldn't see any benefits that such actions could bring!
By her side, Duanmu Lian tapped the pensive Zhou Qingruo with her finger and asked, "Qingruo, what are you thinking about? Don't you find it too exaggerated that Xu Sheng has mastered Immortal Rank Martial Arts in such a short time?"
Had she not witnessed Xu Sheng's skills before and after he learned the Immortal Rank Martial Arts, she wouldn't dare to believe that there truly was someone with such talent in the Cultivation World.
Coming back to her senses, Zhou Qingruo glanced at her with those amber beautiful eyes and said indifferently, "Hmm! It is indeed a bit exaggerated, but perhaps Xu Sheng has a natural talent for cultivating martial techniques."
She decided to ask Xu Sheng about this matter later, believing he must have his own reasons for acting this way!
Seeing Zhou Qingruo's doubtful demeanor, Duanmu Lian's beautiful eyes shimmered with a hint of suspicion, but she didn't continue to pursue the matter...
...
"Heaven-grade Medium Martial Skill, Tearing Wind Palm!"
"Heavenly Ranked Superior Martial Technique, Fiery Sun Blade Kill!"
"Heavenly Ranked Superior Martial Technique, Thunderous Rage Wave!"
Suddenly, the phantoms caused by different martial techniques started to materialize behind the three foreign clan elders and hurtled forward with crushing force...
However, Xu Sheng, trapped in the middle, couldn't help but let a smile creep onto his lips...
He thought to himself, "Earth-tier Martial Technique, Black Mist!"
As the words fell, a thick black mist instantly began to swirl around him, completely covering Xu Sheng's figure and the scene within...
The elders, witnessing the deployment of the Black Mist, shouted angrily, "Boy!! Don't think you can escape!!"
"Accept your death quietly! There's no way you're getting away!!"
"Do you think you can avoid our combined attack just like that? Naïve!!"
After shouting, they each dashed into the dense black mist with lightning speed, aiming their attacks at the position where Xu Sheng had just been...
Just then, a human-shaped shadow slowly began to form on the outskirts of the black mist...
The very moment his body solidified, the black mist on the martial arts stage swiftly dissipated...
The obstructed vision of the three elders instantly cleared, and they shockingly realized that their actual target wasn't Xu Sheng at all but rather they were attacking each other!
At this moment, even if they wanted to stop, it was too late!
"Boom!!"
A thunderous sound reverberated throughout Duanmu Mansion, even accompanied by various blinding flashes of light...
When the dazzling lights faded away, the three bedraggled elders crawled out of the craters beneath the martial arts stage one by one...
From their disheveled garments, it was clear that each had suffered substantial injuries!
Their angry and murderous gazes were fixed dead on Xu Sheng...
One of the elders gritted his teeth and said, "This kid! How dare he, right in front of all these eyes
Another Elder clenched his fists tightly, "Only by slaying him can my heart be appeased! No one shall stop me today!"
"This lad is courting death!!!"
Xu Sheng, upon hearing the robust words of the three, turned around calmly and took a glance at their furious demeanor. He thought to himself, "Are these Elders really at the Immortal Monarch Realm? It feels like they have absolutely no combat experience!"
Especially losing one's reason in a duel, which was undoubtedly seeking death!
Seeing this, the disciples of the Duanmu Clan below were sparing no mercy in their ridicule, "Pfft! I'm dying of laughter! To think that the three Elders are Immortal Monarch-level experts, yet they're being toyed with by Elder Xu like this!"
"I didn't expect Elder Xu's strength to be so formidable; otherwise, he wouldn't seem so relaxed and at ease! It seems like there's a high chance he'll win this round!"
"As expected of the man closely related to Elder Qingruo and Elder Lian, his strength is indeed terrifying. Let these despicable fellows watch closely—even if it's three against one, they will still be defeated by our Duanmu Clan!"
Only the expressions on the faces of Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo in the audience turned ugly...
The former said with a grave face, "He's even using an Earth-tier Martial Technique, indeed. Has Xu Sheng only learned that one Immortal Rank Martial Arts technique related to movement?"
At this rate, Xu Sheng's advantage will only diminish!
Zhou Qingruo furrowed her brow, "Could it be that mastering that Immortal Rank Martial Arts technique was merely a fluke, including all my previous speculations, just a fantasy of mine?"
No... it shouldn't be that simple!
If he had truly only mastered that one Immortal Rank Martial Arts technique, Xu Sheng should not have displayed such unparalleled confidence when he stepped onto the stage...
...
Sitting in the chief seat, Duanmu Shuo was filled with surprise in his pupils...
It never crossed his mind that Xu Sheng would put the other three Elders at a disadvantage...
Perhaps, it was worth trusting him!
With this thought, Duanmu Shuo, harboring a bit of mockery, cupped his fists towards the several Clan Leaders beside him, "Gentlemen, thank you for your forbearance. I didn't expect that the weakest Elder of our Duanmu Clan would be so strong. Oh no, he should be considered quite strong compared to the Elders sent out by the leaders of the Clans here!"
Hearing these words, the faces of the other Clan Leaders darkened to the extreme...
One of the Clan Leaders sneered, "Duanmu Patriarch, aren't you celebrating a bit too early? None of our Elders from the three great Families have yet to display our true strength!"
Another Clan Leader also spoke, noncommittal, "That's right! Besides, the Elder sent out by the Duanmu Patriarch is clearly using Earth-tier Martial Techniques. To think that an Immortal Monarch-level expert would be so poor in martial techniques. Could it be that the Duanmu Clan has no Martial Techniques above Earth-tier?"
"Hmm, if what Chief Xu said is true, then such Elders at the Immortal Monarch Realm might as well make plans early. Joining any one of our Families present would be much stronger, at least in terms of martial techniques, they wouldn't be lacking!!"
Duanmu Shuo was taken aback and could only harden his scalp to say, "Martial techniques do not represent a cultivator's strength!
Whether Xu Sheng could win or not, he had no certainty in his heart...
But he hoped the former still had some tricks up his sleeve, otherwise, it would indeed be a definite loss!
...
On the Martial Arts Stage, the three Elders suddenly unleashed even more terrifying Spirit Force Fluctuations...
The leading Elder said with an ice-cold tone, "Young man, your strength is indeed not bad, but now, we will use our true strength! If you don't want to be wiped out, you better get off the stage quickly."
Although he was furious, he had not lost his reason!
By saying this here, even if he "accidentally" killed Xu Sheng later, he could find a good reason to prevent the Duanmu Clan from pursuing the matter...
