Hearing Luo Yun say that, the Starfall Sect Master burst into laughter, "Hahaha, then this time, I, Starfall Sect, will gladly accept the first place of the five sects competition!"
Even he had lost faith in his own disciple, so it was very likely that Ye Peng would claim the final victory!
The Water Ripple Sect Master said disdainfully, "Tsk, it's just one victory, didn't we, Water Ripple Sect, claim it the last time?"
In past five sects competitions, Water Ripple Sect usually secured first place without much trouble. This time, it was just that the disciples from the other sects were unexpectedly outstanding...
The Mountain Sect Master's eyes lit up as he coldly snorted, "Hmph, what about my Shanyue Peak? Haven't we always ranked second?"
This time, it was just their luck!
The Luo Yun Sect Master spoke up, his expression turning colder, "Is that so? Then in the next five sects competition, how about we also team up and see what happens?"
The disciples of Mountain Sect and Water Ripple Sect had allied during the melee, and all the Sect Masters had turned a blind eye! Otherwise, how could it have been possible for the two sects with the least talented disciples to win?
The icy gazes from Luo Yun and the Starfall Sect Master also turned their attention...
Upon hearing this remark, the Mountain Sect Master and the Water Ripple Sect Master immediately fell silent...
Without another word...
...
At this moment, Ye Peng held his personal sword, its blade stretching to dozens of meters!
He slowly raised his personal sword, and in an instant, it overshadowed the entire sky...
On his face, a cruel smile emerged as he said, "Xu Sheng, are you ready to die?"
He had now fully charged his attack, and dispatching a fellow Earth Immortal Realm disciple was as easy as lifting a feather!
Especially against someone like Li Yan who didn't have exceptional defenses, they would be turned to ashes in one strike!
Xu Sheng casually glanced at the blade overshadowing the entire sky and said indifferently, "Is this the best you could muster after all that effort? Pathetically weak!"
He had thought that Ye Peng might unleash some extraordinary power, but now it seemed rather average...
Ye Peng's mouth twitched, "You can only talk tough now!!"
Then, gripping his personal sword tightly, he fiercely slashed down at Xu Sheng before him...
The massive blade, several dozen meters in size, moved slowly, almost completely engulfing the latter, leaving no room to dodge...
With a thunderous "Boom!" the terrifying blade instantly devoured Xu Sheng...
It split the ground beneath into two halves, like an insurmountable chasm!
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Moxue cried out, "Xu Sheng!!"
In the face of such a terrifying attack, should anyone be able to survive??
Meanwhile, Ling Yue's mind became hollow as she said blankly, "Xu Sheng, he... he's actually been..."
And the Tianlong Sect disciples behind her were dumbstruck...
They were counting on Xu Sheng to take out Ye Peng and secure first place for Tianlong Sect!
And now he was abruptly killed off?
They all widened their eyes and said, "Oh my, such a fearsome attack! It's even split the ground into two! Can Xu Sheng really withstand it?"
"Xu Sheng must have dodged it, otherwise, he would surely be utterly annihilated!"
"It's all over, we can't possibly win now!! No matter how strong Xu Sheng is, he couldn't possibly withstand that!"
"We had a hard-fought chance to claim first place, and now it's lost just like that!!"
...
Meanwhile, the heavily panting Ye Peng, with eyes fixated on the thick mist caused by his strike, laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, didn't you say my attack was weak? In the end, you were still torn to ashes by me!"
He thought Xu Sheng could be so strong!
Yet under his full-strength attack, Xu Sheng couldn't even block a single strike!
It was at this moment that a cold voice came from within the thick fog...
"I said, aren't you celebrating too early?"
This sentence abruptly pulled Ye Peng back to reality, his eyes full of disbelief, "How... How is this possible! You should have been torn to shreds by my martial technique!! Why aren't you dead?"
As the smoke gradually dispersed, Xu Sheng's figure reappeared...
Other than a few tears in his robe and somewhat disheveled hair, he was completely unharmed!
His dark eyes stared intently at Ye Peng in front of him, his voice cold, "Dead? Your kind of attack is far from sufficient to achieve that!"
He had already felt the intense killing intent radiating from Ye Peng's body, signifying that he would certainly not show any mercy!
Seeing this familiar figure, Lin Moxue's expression brightened with joy, "Xu Sheng! He's actually alright!"
Just a moment ago, she thought Xu Sheng really had died!
Then, she couldn't help but begin to speculate, just how strong was Xu Sheng's true strength?
Meanwhile, Ling Yue's captivating pupils were fixed tightly on Xu Sheng, as she rubbed her reddened eyes and dried her tears...
Apart from the two of them, the most excited were none other than the disciples of the Tianlong Sect!
"Phew! That was seriously terrifying! If Xu Sheng really died, our Tianlong Sect wouldn't have been able to claim first place"
"That's right! Although I don't want to admit it, if we missed this opportunity, it would be difficult for our Tianlong Sect to win next time"
"Since he could block such a fierce attack just now, it means Xu Sheng's strength is definitely not inferior to that of Ye Peng, and we're sure to win this confrontation!"
"Xu Sheng!!! Xu Sheng!! Xu Sheng!!!"
...
Ye Peng stifled the fear surfacing in his heart, took a deep breath, and said coldly, "So what if you're still alive, you're surely just putting on a show!"
This guy must be feigning nonchalance, Ye Peng was very clear about the power of his own attack, it wasn't so easy to withstand!
Xu Sheng replied coldly, "Is that so?"
The very next moment, he erupted with terrifying spirit force fluctuations and vanished from Ye Peng's sight like a ghost!
Ye Peng's pupils contracted, "So fast!"
Suddenly, Xu Sheng appeared in front of Ye Peng and threw a punch towards the latter's abdomen...
Ye Peng instantly felt as if his abdomen had been struck by a massive mountain, followed by a sweet sensation in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood...
His entire body flew backward nearly ten meters...
However, Xu Sheng had no intention of letting him catch his breath and immediately flashed behind him again...
And Ye Peng, who had just reacted, instinctively guarded his chest with his arms...
Xu Sheng said indifferently, "Do you think guarding your chest will help?"
Ye Peng was stunned, "???"
But in the next moment, he understood why Xu Sheng had said that!
He saw Xu Sheng simply reach out and push down on Ye Peng's head, smashing it towards the ground with force...
There was a loud "bang!" as the latter's head plunged into the ground...
The entire scene fell into a long silence...
