The most troversial figure in the sect, Lin Hao, and the inner sect's top beauty and sword cultivator, Ning Qingxue.

  Their battle not only attracted thousands of inner disciples to watch but also drew the attention of many elders.

  As the disciples marveled, they saw the master of Little Bamboo Peak, Murong Qinxue, arriving on an ice dragon, instantly cooling the atmosphere!

  "Even Master Murong is here, this battle is truly grand!"

  "Fellow Daoist, don't be so surprised, look over there, who is that?"

  "My goodness, even Master Feng is here!" someone whispered.

  "Master Feng wouldn't be here to protect Lin Hao, would she?"

  "Shh!"

  A friend quickly stopped him.

  "Fool, how many lives do you have to dare discuss her in front of Master Feng!"

  "My heavens, the Sect Leader..."

  "The Sect Leader is here too!"

  The disciples were stunned; no one expected such a grand turnout for this battle!

  Three big shots from the sect had arrived!

  With Sect Leader Ouyang's presehe disciples immediately quieted down, no longer making unnecessary noise, and waited patiently for the match to begin.

  Soon, the enfort elder, Liu Mei, took the stage.

  She would be responsible for judging the oute of this battle.

  "Look, Fairy Ning is here!"

  Ning Qingxue desded onto the stage on her Snon Swiving a slight bow to Liu Mei before sitting cross-legged, ign the surrounding chatter.

  "Fairy Ning is so calm, she must be fident of victory!"

  "Of course, Fairy Ning is the sect's top swenius, her offensive skills are unmatched at the same level."

  "I remember during the Demon Hunting Tour, Lin Hao was still using Yellow-level sword teiques. Even if his cultivation has improved, his teiques are too weak to pete with Fairy Ning."

  "The match is about to start, and Lin Hao is o be seen. Could it be that he's too scared to show up?"

  "That would be best. I wouldn't want my Fairy Ning's hands stained with the blood of that demon spawn."

  As the crowd chattered, Lin Hao arrived on his sword, not nding directly oage but among the crowd.

  All eyes turo him.

  Despite the earlier discussions, ohe main character arrived, the crowd fell silent.

  Mainly because many of them owed Lin Hao spirit stones and feared that any taunt might lead to him demanding repayment.

  "Lin Hao!"

  Shui Ling'er, ign the gazes of others, rushed forward and grabbed Lin Hao's hand, assuming the role of a Dao panion.

  "Be careful in this battle, Ning Qingxue is not to be uimated."

  Lin Hao gently squeezed her soft palm and said warmly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

  "Brother Lin!"

  A spirited ushed through the crowd.

  "Sister Leng."

  Leng Feng arched her eyebrows and said, "I wish Brother Lin victory!"

  "Thank you."

  Lin Hao bid farewell to the two women and strode fidently onto the stage.

  Once Lin Hao was out of earshot, the crowd dared to resume their discussions.

  "This guy actually dares to take the stage, he has some ce."

  "I've said before, in this battle, Lin Hao won't lose out whether he wins or loses, so of course, he dares to take the stage."

  "How many moves do you think Lin Hao withstand under Fairy Ning's hands? Why not start a bet?"

  No one respoo this suggestion.

  Mainly because Lin Hao was uable, often turning the tables uedly, and only someoruly bold would dare bet against him.

  Lin Hao stepped onto the stage, first bowing to Liu Mei, then looking at his oppo.

  "Sih parties are present, I annouhe battle begins!"

  As soon as the words fell, Ning Qingxue opened her eyes.

  She stood up gracefully, like a peerless celestial flower!

  Without saying much, she drew the long sword from her bad charged at Lin Hao.

  She started with the Snon Sword Teique!

  She knew her oppo's teiques were his oint, g any sophistication.

  She didn't want to battle su oppo, mainly because it wouldn't hone her swordsmanship.

  So she started with her ultimate move, aiming to end the fight quickly.

  Fag the enemy's overwhelming assault, Lin Hao closed his eyes slightly, recalling the invincible stance of his master sshing sword energy at the peak of Great Bamboo Peak.

  "Fire Phoenix Scorches the Pins!"

  Screech!

  A massive Fire Phoenix, cloaked in fmes, seemed to cover half the sky.

  Murong Qinxue's eyes fshed with surprise, and she frowned, "Did you teach Lin Hao your entire Fire Lotus Sword Teique?"

  Feng gyue's eyes gleamed with pride, and she said coldly, "My disciple must know the Fire Lotus Sword Teique."

  Sect Leader Ouyang ghoughtfully at Feng gyue and smiled slightly, "gyue, it seems you really favor this little disciple. You didn't teach this sword teique to your previous disciples."

  "I teach based on the disciple's characteristics. Lin Hao is suited for the Fire Lotus Sword Teique."

  Ning Qingxue hadn't expected Lin Hao to have learhe Fire Lotus Sword Teique and suffered a small setba her haste.

  Her white clothes were singed with small holes from the fmes.

  Very well, this reckless boy is worthy of being her oppo!

  Buzz!

  The Snon Sword emitted a hum, as if responding to its master.

  Ning Qingxue eled her spiritual energy into the sword, sshing out sword energy.

  Nine sword energies formed a single character: "Ssh!"

  As the astonishing sword energy approached, Lin Hao remained calm, sshing out a red sun.

  The collision of the two sword energies was so spectacur that it left the crowd in awe.

  These two were truly fierce, starting with their ultimate moves!

  The Snon Sword Teique had seven moves, as did the Fire Lotus Sword Teique!

  Both held nothing back, engaging in tinuous exges!

  After half an hour, both were injured.

  Lin Hao's arm was wounded, blood dripping doooling on the ground.

  His star-like eyes looked at the disheveled Ning Qingxue.

  This woman was formidable; he was more ihan Ning Qingxue. In a direct frontation, he couldn't win. To triumph, he needed a surprise move!

  It's up to you now, new partner.

  With that thought, Lin Hao tapped the sword sheath, and a purple sword flew out.

  The sword was named Purple Lightning!

  He flicked the sword with two fingers.

  Buzz!

  The sword emitted a resonant hum.

  "Fight!"

  He wielded the sword with one arm, summoning the Scarlet Spirit Sword beh his feet, eling his spiritual energy like a flood into both swords.

  The Scarlet Sword was fiery, the Purple Sword carried lightning.

  Ning Qingxue frowned slightly, what was this guy up to?

  Wasn't he a fire spiritual root, why was he using a lightning sword?

  Her frown deepened, uo prehend.

  "Ssh!"

  Lin Hao softly uttered a word!

  With a light tap of his toe on the Scarlet Spirit Sword, he sshed out a red sun the size of a basin.

  Below the stage, Ning Qingxue's supporters saw this and shouted urgently.

  "Lin Hao is done for, he doesn't have enough spiritual energy to execute a plete sword move!"

  "Exactly, look at his fingers dripping blood, his legs trembling, he's at his limit!"

  "If he khis would happen, why did he overestimate himself? That lowly fool deserves to lose to Fairy Ning."

  "Indeed, just because he won the Demon Hunting Tour by luck, he thinks he's a top genius?"

  Ning Qingxue assumed a stance, her Snon Sword coated with a yer of frost, clear and crystalline!

  She wouldn't uimate her oppo, she would use all her strength to defeat him!

  As the red sun flew out, Lin Hao infused his remaining spiritual energy into the Purple Lightning Sword, casually swinging it to release a bolt of lightning.

  The purple lightning ssh, though uer, caught up with the red sun.

  The collision of these two distinergies created a fierce fusion, its ferocity shog everyone.
