The Legend of the Netherworld

In a moment, the two of them had arrived at the stands beside the ring. Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with anticipation, and he asked anxiously, "What happened to you? How did you crack it?"

"It needs to be used at the same time..." Lin Jiao was about to answer patiently.

At this moment, a majestic aura suddenly came from the elders' stands. The sect leader and the elders came to the front of the stands to face the disciples. The originally noisy stands became silent, and all the disciples consciously looked at the sect leader.

"The rules of today's battles remain the same. In the first match, Lin Xiao will face Ma Mingyu from Tianji Pavilion, Ni Meng from Baicao Garden will face Wen Xuan from Xuanzhen Pavilion, and Lv Jiawei from Chanxin Hall will face Zhongli Yewei from Sanyuan Palace." The head of the sect solemnly announced the arrangements for today's opening battles.

After saying this, the headmaster and the elders sat back in their chairs, waiting for the battle to begin.

The silent stands immediately became noisy again, and everyone began to discuss the latest battle arrangements. At this time, Lin Xiao turned to look at Lin Jiao and asked, "What do you mean by using the same time?" His tone became impatient and excited.

"Use at the same time..." Lin Jiao was about to explain in detail when she saw Liu Yi and Senior Brother Lin Qing approaching over Lin Xiao's shoulder. Lin Jiao thought to herself, "The fewer people who know about this, the better."

So, he changed the subject and said to Lin Xiao, "Senior Brothers Liu Yi and Lin Qing are here. I'll show you a demonstration after today's competition."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao turned around without hesitation, waved in the direction of Liu Yi and Lin Qing, and shouted, "We are here."

When Liu Yi and Lin Qing saw Lin Xiao waving, they came over to them.

Lin Qing's face was cold, and he asked softly: "Lin Xiao, how do you feel? You are about to fight against Ma Mingyu, the second senior brother of Tianji Pavilion, who has the strength of the fourth level of Dingmao." There was a slight worry in his tone.

"This arrangement is exactly what I want. It allows me to practice on his second senior brother." Lin Xiao's expression was stern, with a hint of smile on his lips.

"With your strength, you still want to practice? If you can't win, just admit defeat as soon as possible. It's not shameful and you will suffer less," Liu Yi retorted.

After hearing this, Lin Qing praised Lin Xiao's mentality, but was still worried about him. He reminded him, "Your mentality is good, but Ma Mingyu could be as powerful as Duan Ziyao from the Xingchen Pavilion yesterday. Don't take it lightly. Besides, you and the Tianji Pavilion have always had a grudge. I'm sure Ma Mingyu won't let this opportunity go. Be careful."

After listening carefully, Lin Xiao nodded to indicate that he understood, then took a step and jumped to the center of the ring.

"Lin Xiao, come on!" Although Liu Yi disdainfully expressed Lin Xiao's boasting, he still supported Lin Xiao in his heart and cheered him on loudly.

Lin Jiao shouted towards the ring, "Brother Lin Xiao, come on!" Lin Jiao's tone was different from Liu Yi's, and her voice was full of confidence in Lin Xiao.

At this time, Ma Mingyu also came to the center of the ring, and then Lin Xiao and Ma Mingyu saluted each other.

Ma Mingyu whispered: "Senior Brother Li Qing and Senior Brother Zhang Ning both told me that how you treated Junior Brother Daoyi yesterday, let me replicate it on you one by one today. Don't give in easily." The voice was so soft that only Lin Xiao could hear it.

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao replied: "I broke all the bones in Daoyi's body yesterday. Don't miss any of them later."

After saying that, Lin Xiao turned around and distanced himself from Ma Tianyu, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. "Playing psychological warfare with me? I took psychology as an elective in college."

The disciples in the stands, sensing the tense atmosphere on the stage, instantly ignited their enthusiasm for watching the match.

At this time, a Tianji Pavilion disciple named Bo Zixuan loudly discussed, "Do you think Senior Brother Ma Mingyu's chances of winning this battle can reach 90%?"

"Ninety percent? If Lin Xiao can withstand Senior Brother Ma Mingyu's ten moves, I would still consider Senior Brother Ma Mingyu the loser?" replied a disciple from the Chan Yi Hall.

"I'm going to open a live betting game now. Can Lin Xiao withstand Senior Brother Ma's ten moves?"

Ming Hu, the genius of Xingchen Pavilion, saw the opportunity and loudly announced his idea, "Twenty to one odds. Senior Brother Ma pays one, Lin Xiao pays twenty. The bet closes as soon as it starts. No waiting after the bet is made."

The news spread rapidly in the stands like waves, and everyone rushed to buy "Ma Mingyu will defeat Lin Xiao within ten moves", and only a very few people bought "Lin Xiao can survive ten moves".

When Ma Mingyu saw that his plan was seen through by Lin Xiao, he suddenly felt angry and planned to teach Lin Xiao a lesson. Without hesitation, he mobilized the strength in his body, formed seals with his hands, and a lightsaber appeared. He leaped forward and stabbed at Lin Xiao like an arrow.

When Senior Brother Ma Mingyu formed seals with his hands, Minghu also stopped opening the market and devoted himself to watching the game.

Lin Xiao relaxed, his palms opening. A flash of cold light appeared in his hand, and the longsword gleamed with a cold light, its edge trembling slightly, as if filled with a desire to fight. With a single swing of the longsword, he met the lightsaber. The tips of the swords collided, a "chi" sound echoing as the two swords locked in a stalemate, each equally matched.

"One move!" The disciples in the stands shouted in unison, recording the moves of Ma Mingyu and Lin Xiao.

A sly smile suddenly appeared on Ma Mingyu's lips, and the lightsaber in his hand emitted a dazzling light, which pierced Lin Xiao's chest like a hidden weapon.

Faced with such a sinister move, Lin Xiao was suddenly shocked. Without hesitation, he used the "Dragon Body Skill" to flip his body backwards and dodge quickly.

The disciples in the "Two Moves" stands shouted excitedly, as if they were also fighting in person.

Seeing Lin Xiao retreat, Ma Mingyu found the right moment and swung his lightsaber towards Lin Xiao, not wanting to give Lin Xiao any chance to breathe. Lin Xiao could only dodge continuously. Ma Mingyu stabbed left and right, but Lin Xiao dodged them narrowly, and several times he managed to avoid them by a hair's breadth.

"Three moves" "Four moves" everyone shouted in unison, making the atmosphere of the battle continue to reach a climax.

Lin Xiao's dodging speed was too fast, making Ma Mingyu a little impatient. The noise from the stands also affected Ma Mingyu's mentality. He stopped, and the lightsaber appeared in front of him. He formed a seal with his hands and cast a spell. The lightsaber instantly flew towards Lin Xiao.

But an explosion occurred in the air, flashing a dazzling light, like a strong electric current, impacting the retina, bringing a shocking and exciting feeling. Lin Xiao and the disciples in the stands all put their hands in front of their eyes to resist the damage of the light.

Ma Mingyu seized the opportunity and used the "Tai Chi Wave". He condensed his energy into a Tai Chi diagram in front of him, shouted loudly, and a laser suddenly shot towards Lin Xiao, flying away rapidly with the momentum of breaking through the air.

Lin Xiao's face was calm, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. He stared at Ma Mingyu's movements and smiled bitterly in his heart: "Too slow, the Jade Water Snake Queen's laser is instant, you still need to charge it."

He used the "Dragon Wandering Around the Seas" technique and quickly dodged the incoming laser with a single step.

"Four moves" "Five moves" The disciples seemed to see the dawn of victory and shouted louder and louder.
