I walk sideways in the game world

The blinding white light gradually dissipated, and on the stage, Ren Xiaoyao stood intact. He was completely unharmed, as if Shi Gang's sure-shot blow just now was just an illusion.

"How is this possible!" Shi Gang widened his eyes in disbelief, and slammed the huge hammer in his hand heavily on the ring, making a dull sound.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin jumped up with joy, tears of excitement glistening in the corners of her eyes.

On the viewing platform, the headmaster and the elders also breathed a sigh of relief, with relieved smiles on their faces.

"Good boy, I knew you wouldn't let us down!" Elder Xuanfeng stroked his beard, his eyes full of admiration.

Only Senior Brother Lieyang and Senior Sister Lengyue had gloomy expressions. They could not accept that Ren Xiaoyao could escape danger in such a desperate situation.

Ren Xiaoyao felt the power surging within him, and a wave of enlightenment washed over him. Just now, at the critical moment of life and death, he had unexpectedly broken through the bottleneck of his cultivation. The spiritual energy within him was purer and more powerful than before.

"Shi Gang, your attack just now was very powerful, but now it's my turn!" Ren Xiaoyao raised a confident smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became sharp.

Shi Gang's face changed. He felt that Ren Xiaoyao's aura had undergone a drastic change, as if a sleeping lion had finally awakened.

"Arrogant! Even if you break through, what can I do? I can still step on you!" Shi Gang roared angrily and rushed up again, waving the giant hammer.

This time, Ren Xiaoyao didn't choose to dodge, but instead rushed forward. His speed was as fast as lightning, and his figure was erratic, like a ghost, making it difficult to predict.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The two men fought fiercely, and every collision shook the earth. The protective formation around the ring kept flickering, as if it would collapse at any time.

Ren Xiaoyao became more and more courageous as the battle went on. His attacks were extremely fierce and every move was deadly. Shi Gang gradually fell into a disadvantage and scars began to appear on his body.

"What kind of monster is this kid? How did he suddenly become so strong!" Shi Gang was shocked. He felt that he was not facing a disciple of the same generation, but a powerful man with profound cultivation.

Ren Xiaoyao pressed forward step by step, forcing Shi Gang to the edge of the ring. The long sword in his hand emitted a cold sword energy, as if he was going to kill Shi Gang in the next moment.

"Shi Gang, you lost!" Ren Xiaoyao said coldly, his tone full of arrogance.

Shi Gang's face was pale, his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair, but he knew that he was powerless to change the situation.

At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly felt a strong murderous aura coming from behind...

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, and the audience erupted in an uproar. Ren Xiaoyao spun around, his gaze fixed on the source of the murderous aura—Senior Sister Leng Yue had appeared at the edge of the arena, a gleaming dagger in her hand, staring murderously at him.

"Leng Yue, what do you want to do!" Elder Xuanfeng was shocked and shouted angrily.

Senior Sister Leng Yue turned a deaf ear to the elder's questioning. She looked at Ren Xiaoyao coldly, with an icy arc at the corner of her mouth: "Ren Xiaoyao, you actually dared to hurt my senior brother? Today, I will make you pay the price!"

"Are you crazy? This is a sect competition, and you dare to openly violate the rules!" Xia Lin rushed to the edge of the ring and pointed at Senior Sister Leng Yue and shouted angrily.

Senior Sister Leng Yue's eyes turned cold, and a fierce murderous aura instantly enveloped Xia Lin, scaring her so much that her face turned pale and she stepped back repeatedly.

"Leng Yue, stop!" The leader's voice sounded majestically, with an unquestionable tone.

However, Senior Sister Leng Yue seemed to be possessed and ignored the orders of the Sect Leader. She took a step forward, her figure floating like a ghost, and the dagger in her hand turned into a cold light and pierced Ren Xiaoyao's chest.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin exclaimed and wanted to rush forward to help, but was blocked by an invisible force.

Ren Xiaoyao had originally intended to end the match right there, but he hadn't anticipated Senior Sister Leng Yue's sudden attack. His eyes flashed, and his body reacted quickly, dodging the fatal blow by moving sideways.

"You actually dare to hide?" When Senior Sister Leng Yue saw that her attack missed, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper murderous intent.

"Leng Yue, you are too presumptuous!" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes turned cold, and a powerful aura emanated from him, which surprised Senior Sister Leng Yue.

"Insolent? Today I will show you what true insolence is!" Senior Sister Leng Yue roared and attacked again, waving the dagger.

This time, Ren Xiaoyao no longer dodged, but instead took the initiative to attack. He unleashed his newly gained strength, each move imbued with immense power, as if to rip the very space before him apart.

The two men fought fiercely, as fast as lightning. Only two afterimages could be seen flashing on the ring, and every collision erupted with a deafening roar.

Everyone on the viewing platform was stunned by this sudden turn of events. No one had expected that a fantastic sect competition would turn into such a life-or-death duel...

"Stop! Stop it!" The leader's voice sounded again, and this time, his tone was full of anger and majesty.

However, the two men on the stage were already blinded by their killing intent and refused to listen to any advice...

"Leng Yue, are you really going to persist in your delusion?" Ren Xiaoyao asked in a deep voice while resisting Senior Sister Leng Yue's attack.

"Stop talking nonsense! Today either you die or I die!" Senior Sister Leng Yue roared, and her attack became more fierce.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes turned cold. He knew that today's battle would not end peacefully... He took a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and an even more powerful force awakened within him...

Ren Xiaoyao's aura surged, a powerful wave of Qi radiating from him, shaking the arena slightly. His already handsome features took on a fiercer edge, his eyes blazing like two sharp swords piercing Senior Sister Leng Yue's heart. After breaking through his bottleneck, Ren Xiaoyao's strength soared, and every gesture exuded immense power.

Senior Sister Leng Yue had obviously not expected Ren Xiaoyao to break through in such a situation. Her originally fierce attack was deterred by this sudden force, and the dagger in her hand trembled slightly. She retreated hastily, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"This...how is this possible!" Senior Sister Leng Yue exclaimed in shock. She couldn't understand why Ren Xiaoyao could break through in such a desperate situation. The burst of power was far beyond her expectations.

Ren Xiaoyao ignored Senior Sister Leng Yue's shock. He moved as fast as lightning and approached in an instant. The long sword in his hand turned into a series of afterimages, pouring down like a storm.

Senior Sister Leng Yue was caught off guard and could only barely defend herself. Although the dagger in her hand was sharp, it seemed vulnerable in the face of Ren Xiaoyao's powerful sword. Every collision made her feel a huge pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on her, making her breathless.

The previously silent viewing platform below the stage was now filled with exclamations. Everyone was stunned by Ren Xiaoyao's counterattack, and they stared at the battle on the ring intently, afraid to miss any detail.

Xia Lin was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly and silently cheered for Ren Xiaoyao in her heart. She knew how much effort Ren Xiaoyao had put in for this moment. Now he had finally broken through the bottleneck and showed his true strength.

The Sect Master nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. He rekindled his hope in Ren Xiaoyao. Perhaps this young man could truly lead the sect to glory.

Elder Xuanfeng was shocked. He had never thought that Ren Xiaoyao had hidden such a powerful strength. He looked at Ren Xiaoyao deeply and thought to himself, "This boy will become a great man in the future!"

The battle on the ring continued. Ren Xiaoyao became more and more courageous. His swordsmanship became more and more exquisite. Every move was just right, forcing Senior Sister Leng Yue to retreat again and again, and she was in danger.

"Senior Sister Lengyue, thank you for giving in!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted softly, and swung the long sword in his hand suddenly. A sharp sword energy went straight to Senior Sister Lengyue's throat.

Senior Sister Leng Yue's face turned pale. She knew she had already lost. A trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she finally closed her eyes powerlessly.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Senior Sister Leng Yue and blocked Ren Xiaoyao's fatal blow.

"Senior Brother Lieyang!" Ren Xiaoyao looked at the figure standing in front of Senior Sister Lengyue, his eyes slightly condensed.

Senior Brother Lieyang glanced at Senior Sister Lengyue, who looked pale, then turned to look at Ren Xiaoyao with a sneer on his face: "Ren Xiaoyao, your opponent is me."

Ren Xiaoyao's sword energy was blocked, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he sheathed his sword and stood, taking a deep breath to calm the surging blood and qi within him. He knew that Senior Brother Lieyang's appearance was no accident. As a leading inner disciple of the sect, Senior Brother Lieyang had always considered him a rival. Now that he had seen him break through, he naturally wanted to test him personally.

Senior Sister Leng Yue staggered back a few steps, her face still pale. She glanced at Senior Brother Lie Yang gratefully and whispered, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Senior Brother Lieyang nodded slightly without saying much, but kept his eyes fixed on Ren Xiaoyao. The aura around him gradually rose, and a burning breath spread out, as dazzling as the sun.

"Junior Brother Ren, your progress is indeed amazing. However, you are still far from being able to challenge me!" Senior Brother Lieyang spoke arrogantly with a hint of disdain.

Ren Xiaoyao smiled faintly, not intimidated by his aura, and responded calmly: "Senior brother, you are too kind. I just made a breakthrough by luck. I hope you can give me more guidance."

He knew that Senior Brother Lieyang was far more powerful than Senior Sister Lengyue, and since he had just broken through and his realm was still unstable, if he fought head-on, he would probably not gain any advantage. Therefore, he had to remain calm and look for opportunities.

The people in the audience were talking about the matter. Some admired Ren Xiaoyao's rapid progress, while others thought he was too arrogant to dare to challenge Senior Brother Lieyang.

Xia Lin watched the tense atmosphere between the two on the stage and couldn't help but worry about Ren Xiaoyao. She knew that this competition was crucial for Ren Xiaoyao. If he could defeat Senior Brother Lieyang, he would become famous and establish his position in the sect.

The Sect Master and Elder Xuanfeng were also staring closely at the two people on the ring. They all wanted to know whether Ren Xiaoyao could create a miracle again.

"The competition continues!" Elder Xuanfeng announced in a deep voice.

Senior Brother Lieyang stopped talking nonsense and rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao like a flash of fire. The long sword in his hand carried a burning breath and cut through the air, making a whistling sound.

Ren Xiaoyao did not dare to delay and quickly swung his sword to resist.

"clang!"

A crisp sound of metal collision resounded throughout the training ground, and sparks flew everywhere.

Ren Xiaoyao only felt a powerful force coming, which made his palm numb and his body involuntarily took a few steps back.

Senior Brother Lieyang's attacks were as continuous as a violent storm, and each strike contained great power, forcing Ren Xiaoyao to barely defend himself.

He knew that he could no longer passively defend like this, he had to take the initiative and look for opportunities to counterattack.

Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. His steps changed, and his figure became erratic, weaving through Senior Brother Lieyang's attacks like a ghost.

While dodging Senior Brother Lieyang's attacks, he was looking for his weaknesses.

Although Senior Brother Lieyang's attacks are powerful, his moves are a bit too rigid and lack variety, which is his weakness.

Ren Xiaoyao seized an opportunity, suddenly accelerated his body, and went around behind Senior Brother Lieyang, and the long sword in his hand stabbed at his back like a poisonous snake.

Senior Brother Lieyang sensed the danger behind him and quickly turned around to resist.

However, Ren Xiaoyao's attack suddenly changed. His sword drew a strange arc, avoiding Senior Brother Lieyang's defense and going straight for his chest.

Senior Brother Lieyang's expression changed slightly. He obviously hadn't expected Ren Xiaoyao's swordsmanship to be so exquisite. He quickly retreated, trying to avoid the sword.

However, Ren Xiaoyao was faster and the sword was already in front of him.

"laugh!"

With a slight sound, Senior Brother Lieyang's clothes were torn, and a shallow wound appeared on his chest.

Blood slowly seeped out.

Senior Brother Lieyang looked at the wound on his chest, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that he would be hurt by Ren Xiaoyao.

"you…"
