Chen Mufeng was ridiculed twice by a new apprentice, and still in front of his most admired woman, how could he swallow this tone.
If he spares this new disciple named Li Hui, he'll probably lose face and won't be able to chase after Han Xue again. As for how Han Xue views it, that's not the point - what's certain is that the other suitors around her will be laughing their heads off right now.
Chen Mufeng thought about the scene where those people would mock him in the future... He even felt that the eyes of those people at this moment contained a few sneers.
Li Hui had already made up his mind to play a trick on these old disciples, and seeing Chen Mufeng's angry appearance, he deliberately put on an air of being carefree and nonchalant.
"Oh, since you want to teach me a few moves, I won't decline, but I also can't let you waste your energy for nothing. How about we add some stakes? Let's bet 1,000 pieces of low-grade spirit stones. Are you daring enough?"
Li Hui had this idea from the beginning when Chen Mufeng provoked him, and this time he not only wanted to teach these self-proclaimed superior guys a lesson but also make them bleed.
Enduring humiliation can't bring dignity, yielding can't ensure complete safety!
When Li Hui was teaching Han Hao a lesson, he had already made preparations for Han Hao's revenge. From the look in Han Hao's eyes when he left, Li Hui knew that guy wouldn't let it go easily. He just didn't expect that it would be such a beautiful older sister who came with several bodyguards.
At this time, the martial arts hall had already gathered many disciples, including those of this generation and old disciples from the previous generation. Xue Xianzi's beauty was renowned among all three generations of Bi Xuanmen disciples, and wherever Han Xue went, she would always be surrounded by onlookers.
Li Hui's words were heard by everyone in the martial arts hall, and at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Hui, Han Xue, and Chen Mufeng. However, many people felt that Li Hui was overestimating himself and actually dared to challenge Chen Mufeng. Many people hoped that Chen Mufeng could teach this arrogant guy a good lesson.
Of course, these people want Li Hui to be taught a lesson, and the main reason is because of Li Hui's attitude towards Han Xue. Snow Fairy, she is the goddess in the hearts of all three generations of male disciples of Bi Xiang Gate! Now the goddess was actually scolded by a new disciple, how can this be?
Only a few of the new disciples who had been bullied by these senior brothers secretly supported Li Hui, after all, if they could really teach those arrogant senior brothers a lesson, it would be a way to vent their grievances.
The onlookers grew in number, and a hint of amusement flashed across Chen Mufeng's face. This new disciple was truly ignorant of the heights of heaven and the thickness of earth! He actually took the initiative to propose betting one thousand low-grade spirit stones, this was simply asking to be slapped in the face!
"Alright, let's bet a thousand lower-grade spirit stones! But I'm worried if you have that many spirit stones!" Chen Mu Feng's mood seemed great, he put the sword back in his arms, made that masterful pose, and said with a hint of teasing.
Li Hui smiled calmly: "Don't worry about this, but if Brother Shifu loses carelessly, it won't look good in front of this beautiful female Shifu."
Chen Mu Feng's face changed: "Less nonsense, get on stage!" He flew up and landed in the center of the arena.
Li Hui also moved his body and jumped onto the stage.
The disciples under the stage were all whispering to each other, a newcomer who had just joined the sect actually dared to challenge the best of the older disciples, this was a first.
"That new disciple of yours named Li Hui is quite arrogant, but I'm afraid he's going to suffer for it!"
"A thousand low-grade spirit stones, even if he's a registered disciple of the sect leader, it's only this much after half a year. Let's see how he'll step down later."
Almost everyone looked down on Li Hui, and they all thought that this arrogant new disciple was going to be unlucky.
Han Xue stood quietly in the crowd, like a narcissus blooming in a lotus pond, and even more like a fairy descending to the world. At this time, she didn't say a word, which made her look even more gentle and quiet. However, there was no expression on her face, and she just stared at the stage quietly.
"Kid, bring out your weapon!" Chen Mu Feng still had his arms crossed, with the sword slanted across his chest, and said in a cold tone.
Li Hui smiled and patted the storage bag, and the Qingming sword was already in his hand. He had long seen that the sword in Chen Mufeng's arms did not have any spiritual power fluctuations, and it was also an ordinary weapon.
Spiritual equipment, Chen Mu Feng certainly has it, but spiritual equipment generally doesn't work well without infusing spiritual power. To maintain the shape of a long sword would probably require a lot of spiritual power, and Chen Mu Feng wouldn't use his spiritual equipment to fly swords just to show off his high-handed image.
Since the other party wants to pretend to be a master, Li Hui will not be polite! Moreover, he doesn't understand Chen Mu's strength yet, so he won't foolishly pretend to be a master.
"Be careful!"
Li Hui let out a soft cry, and his body began to blur, like a wisp of green smoke drifting away. The long sword in his hand transformed into a green rainbow, shooting towards Chen Mu Feng.
"This Li Hui, indeed has some real skills, no wonder he's so arrogant!" The disciples watching from below suddenly saw the extraordinary aspect of Li Hui's sword, but it didn't make Chen Mu Feng feel worried at all.
"What a fast speed!" Chen Mu Feng was also shocked in his heart, "This Li Hui, his swordsmanship is indeed good, but to defeat himself... it's still not enough!"
"Hiss!"
Qing Hong suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mu Feng, stabbing straight at his throat. Chen Mu Feng took a step back with his left foot and shifted his body to one side, barely avoiding the sword!
"Not bad!" Li Hui's mouth curled up in a faint smile, his wrist flicked, and the Qingming Sword was withdrawn by several inches before being swiftly extended again.
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
The sword flashed with a tearing sound through the air and stabbed Chen Mu Feng swiftly.
The duel began, Chen Mu Feng easily dodged, but Li Hui's sword in his hand was getting faster and faster, his footsteps kept moving with the long sword in his hand.
Chen Mufeng only felt that all around him were sword shadows, while Li Hui's figure turned into a residual shadow flying rapidly. For a moment, his whole body was shrouded in sword energy, the sword tip never leaving his own inch of space, and a chill ran across his face.
"Clang!"
A loud clang of metal, Chen Mu's long sword finally emerged from his waist, blocking Li Hui's sword. He took advantage of the opportunity to retreat and escape from Li Hui's encirclement.
"Very well, you've earned the right to draw your sword! You already have something worth boasting about!" Chen Mu Feng's face also turned a few shades more serious. Li Hui was much stronger than he had imagined.
Li Hui just smiled and thrust his long sword again, stabbing once more.
Chen Mufeng's long sword in his hand shook slightly as he also welcomed the attack.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
The sound of two swords clashing kept coming, and the two people on stage were already thoroughly entangled together. Both of their speeds were extremely fast, and the people below the stage only saw the sword auras crisscrossing above, but couldn't see how they were making their moves.
Two residual shadows were moving rapidly on the stage, and the disciples watching below were all dazzled.
At this moment, everyone in the audience held their breath to watch this duel between the strong, and no one dared to doubt Li Hui's strength anymore. This battle, even if Li Hui ultimately lost, had already won the respect of these disciples!
Only the strong are qualified to talk about dignity and face! At this moment, these three generations of disciples have undoubtedly acknowledged Li Hui's position as a strong man!
Han Xue, standing tall and slender in the crowd, was still quietly watching the changes on stage, but in the depths of her eyes, there were a few complex colors.
"What's going on, I actually think Chen Mu Feng will lose. Although this guy is annoying with his sword every day, but now he's fighting for me after all!" Han Xue's expression changed slightly, but no one noticed.
At this time, from the audience's point of view, Chen Mu Feng and Li Hui were evenly matched. However, Chen Mu Feng himself knew that it was not like that at all.
Li Hui's sword had transformed into a thousand blades, stabbing towards himself from different angles at the same time. His own speed had already reached its limit, yet Li Hui's sword was still accelerating!
At this time, Chen Mufeng was only exerting his utmost effort to transform the long sword in his hand into a sword curtain, blocking Li Hui's sword from outside, without any strength to counterattack.
"Hiss!"
Finally, the blue sword shadow broke through Chen Mu Feng's sword curtain and stabbed into his chest! However, it was a quick in-and-out, only tearing open a hole in his clothes before being withdrawn.
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
One sword later, a series of sword shadows followed! Each sword only left a small hole in Chen Mu Feng's clothes before being withdrawn! In an instant, nine holes appeared on Chen Mu Feng's clothes.
"Whoosh!"
Li Hui sheathed his long sword and revealed his figure.
Chen Mufeng stood stupidly in place, his chest clothes completely shredded into pieces of cloth, blown up by the sword wind and fluttering on his chest.
"I lost! I actually lost! How could I lose!" Chen Mu Feng lowered his head, staring at the shattered remains on his chest, his face deathly pale, unable to believe this reality.
But he had no choice but to believe in this reality. Chen Mu Feng's heart was very clear, if Li Hui had just moved the sword forward a little earlier, perhaps his body would not have been just clothes torn, but added several blood holes!
The entire audience was silent, with everyone's eyes wide open and staring at the torn clothes on Chen Mu Feng's chest. Everyone understood what that meant; if it were a real fight to the death, Chen Mu Feng would have died nine times already!
Chen Mufeng had always yearned for the realm of a sword immortal and often dressed himself up as an extraordinary swordsman, but he was defeated so thoroughly under Li Hui's sword!
He never thought that he would be facing a real cultivator who was on the path of sword immortality!
Moreover, Li Hui didn't even use his full strength. After integrating the 72 swords from simple to complex, Li Hui's swordsmanship took another step forward. Against Chen Mufeng, he simply casually displayed his commonly used "Dī Fēng Huàn Yǐng Jiàn" (Swift Wind Phantom Sword), although it was the same set of sword moves, but with Li Hui's current level of mastery, its power increased several times!
In this battle, Li Hui still didn't use the spiritual power within his body, and his swordsmanship only showed 50% of its might!
"This brother, it seems I've managed to win a move or two." Li Hui said calmly.
Chen Mu Feng finally came back to his senses, his face looking extremely unsightly. He walked directly in front of Li Hui, flipped his hand over and handed him ten mid-grade spirit stones.
"These ten mid-grade spirit stones are enough to exchange for a thousand low-grade spirit stones, I'll give them to you."
He finished speaking and jumped off the stage, leaving without looking back.
