Chapter 411 Confrontation with Venerable Huangquan

However, at this critical moment, Lin Yan raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then a somewhat playful voice slowly floated into the ears of everyone present.

"I admit defeat..."

When Lin Yan's "I admit defeat" was clearly and abruptly heard by everyone present, everyone present seemed to be cast under a spell, and they could not help but be slightly stunned, their faces full of surprise, and their thinking was also temporarily delayed.

At this moment, Wang Chen, who was in the state of attacking this fatal blow with all his strength, could not help but pause slightly, and a strong and irrepressible look of surprise surged in his heart.

You know, since the beginning of the preparation of this Sifang Pavilion Conference, clear and inviolable rules have been set. The purpose of the conference is to compete, make friends with martial arts, and exchange skills.

Under such a framework of rules, if one party voluntarily and openly admits defeat and indicates that he has given up the competition, then the other party, in accordance with the rules and the spirit of martial arts, must not continue to kill and must immediately stop the offensive.

However, Wang Chen's surprise only lasted for a moment. In the blink of an eye, a bloodthirsty light appeared in his eyes, and a disdainful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although the conference clearly stipulates that once the opponent admits defeat, he cannot continue to fight, in his opinion, there are naturally exceptions.

There have been many bloody and wounding incidents in previous conferences. Even if he really killed Lin Yan here, what would happen? He is the chief senior brother of Huangquan Pavilion and the direct disciple of the contemporary Huangquan Venerable, with an extremely noble status.

And this Lin Yan is just a casual cultivator without a sect or school. Even if he kills Lin Yan here, what can a casual cultivator with no background do to him? Who dares to offend Huangquan Pavilion because of these rules?

Previously, when he saw Lin Yan's calm demeanor, he thought that the other party had some powerful trump card, so he was so confident.

Who knew that in the end, Lin Yan's "trump card" was just to surrender, which was really ridiculous.

At this moment, the worries in his heart had disappeared, and his hands moved more and more rapidly, and his attack speed was three times faster.

Seeing that the black palm was about to attack Lin Yan directly, it was about to touch Lin Yan and pierce his chest in one fell swoop. The situation was extremely critical.

The onlookers around witnessed this scene and couldn't help shaking their heads. On the one hand, they felt deeply sorry for the death of a generation of heroes, and on the other hand, they felt that Lin Yan's behavior was too ridiculous, and that his mind was too simple and naive. He actually tried to escape by admitting defeat, but he didn't expect that Wang Chen didn't intend to let him go.

However, the tragic scene that everyone expected Lin Yan to die on the spot did not appear. And Wang Chen did not feel the touch of his very familiar palm piercing his flesh and blood. Everything did not develop as everyone expected.

Between Lin Yan and Wang Chen, a beautiful figure in green suddenly flashed out. Facing the dark palm wrapped in a strong bloody aura, the beautiful figure in green just raised her hand lightly, and then an invisible force of space quickly spread out, directly resisting Wang Chen's devastating and fierce blow, making it stop abruptly.

This series of changes was completed in just a moment, and before everyone had time to come back to their senses, the beautiful figure in green had already waved her hand.

In an instant, Wang Chen's figure was like a kite with a broken string, and was directly shaken and flew back hundreds of meters away, fiercely crossing the square, plowing a deep gully, the scene was very shocking.

"It's Mu Qingluan from Xingyun Pavilion!"

"Why did Miss Mu Qingluan attack at this time?"

"Sure enough, Douhuang and Douzong are not at the same level at all. Wang Chen can't even survive a single move from Mu Qingluan."

"A Douzong strongman is so terrifying!"

When everyone finally saw who the green-clothed figure was, after this series of shocking things ended, everyone came back to their senses and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, they saw the face of the green-clothed figure, and suddenly, exclamations of amazement rang out one after another.

Even Feng Qing'er and Tang Ying, at this moment, cast a look full of astonishment. The two of them were full of confusion. They really couldn't understand why Mu Qingluan suddenly attacked at such a critical and delicate moment.

After all, in the current complicated situation, although Xingyun Pavilion, relying on its own rapidly growing foundation and strength, does not need to be afraid of Huangquan Pavilion, it is not worth giving the other party any face.

But as far as everyone knows, Mu Qingluan and Lin Yan seem to have never had any intersection before, let alone any deep friendship or interest connection.

According to common sense, she really has no reason to step in and save Lin Yan at this time. The reason behind this abrupt move is really puzzling.

"Ahem... Mu Qingluan, what do you mean? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to this pretty boy?" Wang Chen, who was repelled by the strong force, was spitting blood at this moment, but he didn't bother to wipe it off and struggled to get up from the ground.

He was full of resentment and unwillingness at this time, and didn't care about his identity and image. He could only stare at Mu Qingluan with a vicious look. He didn't know how many times he had scolded Mu Qingluan in his heart. He just felt that her behavior was really inexplicable and made him lose face in front of everyone.

"Noisy!"

After hearing Wang Chen's nonsense, Mu Qingluan's originally calm and calm expression suddenly changed, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.

She waved her bare hand, and a cyan fighting spirit palm print instantly condensed into shape, roaring towards Wang Chen with a fierce momentum.

Before Wang Chen had time to react, the cyan palm print hit him firmly, knocking him down from the competition square. I can't get up either.

Originally, Mu Qingluan had received a secret message from her senior brother before the competition started. The senior brother specifically told her to pay a little attention to the two guys named Xiao Yan and the guy named Lin Yan.

Although she was a little confused as to what her senior brother meant, she didn't think much about it and just wrote it down.

So this time she took action just to rescue these two people. She didn't think about what to do to Wang Chen at first.

However, as soon as Wang Chen's unpleasant and wanton slanderous words came out, he immediately angered Mu Qingluan, who was well-behaved, and gave him the idea of ​​​​taking action against Wang Chen directly.

In the final analysis, Wang Chen was directly eliminated by Mu Qingluan, and it was purely because of his own words. He made Mu Qingluan angry and took action, and ended up in such an embarrassing end. It was nothing but his own fault.

Mu Qingluan's eyes were cold, and he glanced at Wang Chen, who was lying on the ground in a miserable state, like a bereaved dog, and then slowly and slowly retracted his palm.

She frowned slightly, muttering in her heart, and secretly spat: "What a brainless idiot! This young lady only pretends to be her senior brother, so how can she look down on anyone else?"

"This Wang Chen has no clue and talks nonsense. If these bastard words are accidentally heard by senior brother and a misunderstanding occurs for no reason, I will have to spend my time to explain clearly to senior brother. Huh, this Wang Chen Damn it!"

Then, Mu Qingluan raised her eyebrows slightly, turned around and looked at Lin Yan, who was still standing there blankly, frowned, and with a tone full of impatience, she scolded: "Why are you still standing here in a daze? You have already given up. , why didn't you just leave the show? Are you still waiting to cause some trouble?"

Being scolded by Mu Qingluan, Lin Yan suddenly came back to his senses, raised his hand to scratch his head, but without any further hesitation, he patted Xiao Yan's shoulder heavily, taking it as a sign of tacit understanding. Immediately afterwards, his body suddenly flashed and he quickly jumped off the competition stage.

In fact, Lin Yan's original plan was to use his own defensive fighting skills to resist Wang Chen's attack. He had full confidence in this move.

Once he successfully resists, he can use the force of the counter-shock to exit the ring and get out of danger. Although there is no guarantee that you will be disgraced or embarrassed in the process, as long as people are safe and the results are satisfactory, it is enough.

However, Lin Yan really didn't expect that Miss Mu Qingluan from Xingyun Pavilion would actually take action and block Wang Chen's fatal blow for him.

After coming back to his senses and thinking about it for a moment, he realized that Mu Qingluan's actions were most likely due to Xiao Ling's instructions. Otherwise, how could he have intervened for no reason to help him resolve this crisis.

Sitting on the seat, Venerable Huang Quan witnessed such changes in the venue, and his face instantly turned gloomy, extremely ugly. He clenched his hands into fists unconsciously, and the fighting spirit from his whole body overflowed uncontrollably. The wisps of fighting spirit seemed to have substance, and even the armrests of the seat gradually developed tiny cracks.

"Master Xiao Ling," Venerable Huangquan suppressed his anger, turned his head to look at Xiao Ling, and said through gritted teeth, "Isn't your Mu Qingluan of Xingyun Pavilion's behavior too ruthless? She took action rashly this time. , could it be that you are deliberately humiliating me, Huangquan Pavilion?" Although there was restraint in his words, the suppressed anger and anger were clearly heard by everyone present.

"Haha, that girl Qingluan, as the senior sister of Xingyun Pavilion, has always been a rule-abiding master. She does not tolerate anyone breaking the rules." Xiao Ling said with a faint smile on his lips and a leisurely expression,

"The rules of this competition are there. Since Lin Yan has already admitted defeat, according to the rules, Wang Chen of your pavilion should not be able to take action anymore. Wang Chen acted in violation of the rules. Qingluan girl stepped forward to stop him. He was just acting according to the rules. , couldn’t be more normal.”

Xiao Ling said this in a relaxed and casual tone, not taking Venerable Huangquan's angry words seriously at all, as if Venerable Huangquan's anger was just an insignificant breeze to him.

After hearing Xiao Ling's nonchalant response, Venerable Huangquan felt the anger in his chest become even stronger, as if there were fierce flames burning his heart and lungs.

His complexion was livid, veins popped up on his forehead, and the knuckles of his clenched fists were glowing white due to excessive force. The fighting spirit around him was like a manic python, surging and twisting wantonly, making the air around him seem to condense. ice.

"Xiao Ling, I respect you as an eighth-grade alchemist and have a high status. You are also famous in this Dou Qi Continent. But you are so protective of my disciples and wantonly misinterpret my meaning. Could it be that you are relying on the power of Xingyun Pavilion to become arrogant? "

Venerable Huangquan resisted the urge to pour out his fighting energy, gritted his teeth and said word by word,

"Young man, don't act too arrogantly. Keep a line in everything so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Do you really want to completely become an enemy of Huangquan Pavilion and break the harmony in the future because of an insignificant person?"

Xiao Ling's expression did not change, the faint smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to be engraved on it, and his eyes showed uninhibitedness and freedom. He leaned back slightly, folded his hands on his chest, and said calmly:

"Venerable Huangquan, you have misunderstood. I am just discussing the matter and following the rules of the conference. If a young man is not energetic, can he still be called a young man?"

"As for being an enemy of your Huangquan Pavilion, we, the Xingyun Pavilion, have inherited it so far. When have we ever been afraid of getting into trouble? If you feel that you can't handle this matter today, you have to try it and be more serious. I, the Xingyun Pavilion, will take care of it." Stay with me until the end.”

Although Xiao Ling's tone was calm, every word and sentence in his words seemed to be wrapped in the power of gold and stone, and had a ringing sound.

The atmosphere in the field instantly became tense, and everyone around them was silent. Their eyes wandered back and forth between Lord Huang Quan and Xiao Ling, as if they wanted to see how this confrontation between the two leaders of the two major forces would end.

The solemn and depressing feeling is like a lead cloud weighing heavily on your head, making your heart skip a few beats unconsciously.

Lord Huang Quan stared closely at Xiao Ling's half-smiling face, feeling the anger rising in his chest, but every time he wanted to explode completely, his reason was like a rope, tightly strangling his impulsive neck.

Today's Xingyun Pavilion is no longer what it used to be. If there is a conflict with Xiao Ling here today, then Huangquan Pavilion may be in danger of being destroyed. Although he is angry, he is not a fool. He knows What can and cannot be done.

"Humph, what happened today is just for your sake, Master Xiao Ling. Let's expose it for now and not care about it anymore." Venerable Huangquan's face was as gloomy as water, and the words were squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing unwillingness and forbearance, " But in the future, I hope Xingyun Pavilion will act more appropriately and not push people too hard!"

After saying this, I saw Lord Huang Quan suddenly wave his sleeves and robes, and the strong fighting spirit enveloped the unconscious Wang Chen on the ground. His body instantly turned into a black stream of light, and shot straight into the sky like an arrow from a string. In the blink of an eye, Then disappeared from everyone's sight.

This move obviously means that Venerable Huangquan has no intention of staying here any longer, and he no longer cares about the follow-up process of the Sifang Pavilion Conference.

After all, Wang Chen, a participant in Huangquan Pavilion, has now been eliminated. The future direction of the event, ranking competition, glory competition and other matters have nothing to do with them in Huangquan Pavilion. Staying here will only add to the embarrassment. If you are attracting attention and being discussed, it is better to leave as soon as possible and save some face.

Everyone in the field looked at the retreating light, and the tense atmosphere slowly relaxed. However, the lingering fear of this storm in their hearts may not be dissipated for a while.

Watching the black shadow transformed by Lord Huangquan fly away quickly, the corners of Xiao Ling's mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, and an imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.

After a moment, he calmly withdrew his gaze, and his whole person returned to the easy-going and indifferent attitude of the past, as if the tense incident just now was just a fleeting episode.

Immediately, Xiao Ling turned his head to look at Venerable Lei who was not far away from him, with a gentle smile on his face, as if the fierce confrontation just now had never happened. After giving a salute, he said calmly: "Venerable Lei. , what I did just now disrupted the progress of the competition, it was really rude and disrespectful, I hope you will forgive me."

"Haha, what did Master Xiao Ling say? This little thing won't bother you at all!" Venerable Lei smiled with a smile on his face, nodded politely, his words were hearty, and his laughter was full of energy, spreading leisurely in the venue. open.

Ever since Xiao Ling's impressive intimidation when he appeared on the stage, Venerable Lei had already restrained his previous petty thoughts.

It's unknown what he was thinking in his heart, but at least on the surface, he kept Xiao Ling at a respectful distance and did not dare to have the slightest conflict.

Beside Xiao Ling, the three women saw that he had a leisurely look on his face and did not take the previous tense situation with Lord Huangquan to heart at all. They couldn't help but look at each other with doubts on their faces, and all of their eyes turned to Xiao Ling.

In their past impressions, Xiao Ling was not such a good-tempered person who could swallow things easily.

Before the three of them had time to ask, the little Diao who was lying in Xiao Ling's arms suddenly raised its head, its round eyes full of indignation, it bared its teeth and claws, and shouted viciously:

"Xiao Ling, that smelly old man just now was so arrogant. He actually dared to talk to you like that. You can't just let him go so easily! Master Diao, do you need me? I'll personally go out and help you deal with that guy." Be obedient and let him know how powerful you are!”

It looked as if as long as Xiao Ling nodded, it would immediately chase him out and show off his skills.

Xiao Ling nodded gently towards the three girls, then stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the furry head of the little mink in his arms. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said in a calm tone but with unquestionable determination,

"Don't worry, don't you understand my temper? Since that guy dares to provoke me, do you really think that I will let him go easily? What good consequences will be left for him? But in front of outsiders, this image must be a little bit... Just keep it up. Don’t worry, that old guy will pay a heavy price for what he did today.”

After saying this, a cold light flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes, and the faint intimidation spread instantly.

It just so happens that the soul body in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner has not been replenished for a while. This Huangquan Pavilion, as one of the four pavilions, should be considered a good goal. Presumably, the harvest will not disappoint me...

…

At this moment, the atmosphere in the competition square was slightly quiet and tense.

Previously, Lin Yan voluntarily abstained from voting after some thought and walked away casually; then, Mu Qingluan made a strong move and solved Wang Chen neatly.

After this incident, the situation on the field was settled, and there were exactly eight contestants left. And these eight people corresponded to the places that qualified for this competition...
