........

The opinions below the stage gradually split into two camps. On the arena, Li Ming's killing formation was also complete. The moment the formation was formed...

Countless golden needles and thorny vines attacked Tang Xinyan from all sides of the arena!

Seeing this, everyone below the stage held their breath nervously, sweating for Tang Xinyan. The knowledgeable person had just spoken...

Li Ming's killing formation showed no mercy, but the next second, everyone saw a blur before their eyes, and Tang Xinyan suddenly had a sword in her hand.

Purple lightning crackled along the sword's blade. Tang Xinyan made no fancy moves, simply raising her hand, swinging the sword in a circle, and returning it to its original position.

A sword aura crackling with purple lightning spread around Tang Xinyan, and the next second, the golden needles and vines all shattered and vanished.

The sword energy continued unabated, spreading outwards to the surrounding area of ​​the formation. Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the killing formation shattered, and all the array flags instantly crumbled.

With the formation broken, Li Ming, who had set it up, was revealed. However, he also suffered a backlash from the broken formation, spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing onto the arena.

Tang Xinyan glanced at the dejected Li Ming, her expression still distant and polite, and smiled faintly:

"Nephew Li Ming, you flatter me."

The audience was completely silent...

Everyone's minds were still a bit fuzzy; at that moment, they all had only one thought: This... seems to be... just one move?

A one-hit kill? It feels like... it wasn't even started, and it's already over??

The silence lasted for about a minute, then suddenly, applause erupted from the stage.

Still in shock, everyone instinctively looked up at the stage, following the sound, and saw Dan Yao smiling brightly, clapping and praising:

"Haha, as expected of a great teacher, a great student. Junior Sister Tang, you truly deserve to be Elder Xiao's disciple."

Li Le and the others smiled and echoed, praising, "Not bad, not bad, so promising for his age."

Among them, Liang Yu was the most excited, constantly exclaiming:

"At such a young age, to be able to cultivate such powerful sword energy, what a promising talent! A natural-born swordsman!"

Bai Jinming could no longer maintain his smile. Looking at Tang Xinyan on the stage, his expression stiffened as he tried to salvage the situation:

"Junior Sister Tang, to me, you don't look like someone who hasn't fought before."

Tang Xinyan blinked innocently:

“Peak Master Bai, I have indeed never fought against anyone. It was only a month ago that my master took me to Silver Valley Forest and we killed some ferocious beasts for a while.”

Platinum Name: "......."

Everyone: “…”

Seeing that Bai Jinming seemed about to say something, Ji Zeyang stood up, smiled politely at Bai Jinming, and said calmly:

"Peak Master Bai, my master asked me to bring my junior sister out to watch the competition. He specifically instructed me to bring her back to the peak as soon as the competition is over."

"This has already delayed us for a while, so I'll take my junior sister and leave first, lest Master worry and come out to search again."

These words made Bai Jinming swallow back what he was about to say. Seeing that he stopped arguing, Ji Zeyang smiled politely at the other peak masters and said:

"Esteemed Peak Masters, I'll be taking my junior sister with me now. Farewell."

Dan Yao and the others waved their hands. Ji Zeyang flashed onto the stage, and the next second, he disappeared with Tang Xinyan.

After the two disappeared, the peak masters on the stage also bid farewell to each other and left. Bai Jinming finally teleported to the stage with a dark face and took Li Ming away.

The moment Bai Jinming left, a heated discussion erupted from the audience. This time, there was no disagreement; everyone was speculating about Tang Xinyan's abilities.

Hearing everyone's praise, Liu Yinyin felt a burning jealousy. Suppressing her discomfort, she acted as usual, coaxing her senior brothers:

"Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Yang, Senior Brother Yu... Master Mu has already returned to the peak, let's go back as soon as possible?"

Normally, if that sweet, coquettish voice were to utter, her fellow disciples would surely fawn over her and escort her back.

But now, after Liu Yinyin finished speaking, none of her senior brothers paid any attention to her. They either huddled together in pairs or with people from other peaks.

Everyone was excitedly discussing the duel they had just witnessed. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Liu Yinyin blushed with embarrassment.

Feeling inferior, she sensed that everyone around her was looking at her with mockery. Liu Yinyin was filled with shame and indignation, so she simply walked away quickly on her own.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoya and her two female disciples quietly followed Liu Yinyin until they reached a secluded spot, where Liu Xiaoya then called out:

"Hey, who's that up ahead? Doesn't that look like our Peak's Junior Sister Liu?"

Liu Yinyin had already noticed that Liu Xiaoya, Wu Li, and Sai Shishi seemed to be following her. She didn't want to pay them any attention and quickened her pace.

But the three still caught up with her. Hearing Liu Xiaoya speak, Wu Li and Sai Shishi also surrounded her. Liu Yinyin could only force a smile and pretend to be happy:

"It's Senior Sister Liu, Senior Sister Wu, and Senior Sister Sai! I was in such a hurry that I didn't realize you were behind me."

Wu Li gave a mocking smile:

"Hehe, speaking of which, aren't Senior Brother Qin and the others all over in the square? Why is Junior Sister Liu unusually not with the other senior brothers today?"

Wu Li's words reminded Liu Yinyin of what had just happened. Suppressing her anger, she maintained a calm expression and said:

"I saw that Senior Brother Qin and the others were busy, so I said goodbye and left first."

"Oh? Is that so? But it seems like we saw that Senior Brother Qin and the others were too busy to deal with someone, so that's why that person left?"

Sai Shishi smiled slightly, deliberately using the word "someone," which made Liu Xiaoya and Wu Li burst out laughing.

When mocked by all three at the same time, Liu Yinyin could no longer pretend and stared at them coldly, saying:

"You did this on purpose."

Liu Xiaoya nodded, her eyes filled with undisguised mockery:

"That's right, we did it on purpose, we deliberately came to see you make a fool of yourself."

Liu Yinyin gritted her teeth:

"Liu Xiaoya, aren't you afraid I'll tell Master Mu?"

Upon hearing Liu Yinyin mention Mu Qingchen, Sai Shishi stepped forward and slapped Liu Yinyin across the face, her eyes fierce as she said:

"So that's why you were in such a hurry to get back to the peak. You wanted to take advantage of our absence to get close to Master Mu. Don't you know your own worth?"

Wu Li looked disgusted.

"Hey Senior Sister Liu, how old is your daughter? She's already thinking about men. When I was that young, I didn't know anything."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoya curled her lip, her eyes full of disdain:

“I don’t have such a shameless sister. As for the reason, it’s probably because she learned it from her mother.”
