Upon seeing the man in the green robe, Sushang smiled, and Cang Tong and the others immediately felt reassured.
It was none other than Xie Feng!
He parted the onlookers and leisurely entered the battle zone, a faint smile on his face, exuding composure and magnanimity.
No one around said a word.
It was unclear whether they were stunned by Xie Feng's sudden arrival or speechless with shock at something they had just realized.
In short, complete silence!
Only the young man Gu Yu raised his eyelids, looked Xie Feng up and down, and then twirled his long sword and thrust it fiercely at Xie Feng!
At that moment, the winds and clouds were swirling, and the situation was quite formidable.
"You're here to apply for Sword Dao apprenticeship? Your Swordsmanship... tsk, terrible! If you were more modest and humble, you might improve your Swordsmanship considerably. After all, a good personality is also a way to conceal one's strength."
Seeing him launch a fierce attack, Xie Feng remained with his hands behind his back, calmly lecturing and even belittling Gu Yu, who became even angrier!
Xie Feng placed one hand behind his back. He did not fight, but his body trembled slightly, and a faint Origin Power condensed, forming a thin protective Gang Qi. No matter how sharp the Gu Yu sword was, it could not pierce through it even slightly.
"You're getting impatient already? You're not in a good mood, young man!"
Xie Feng was still smiling faintly!
Gu Yu sensed his mockery!
I was consumed by rage!
He gritted his teeth, Sword Qi surged forth, the blade transforming into a black leopard that roared as it charged towards Xie Feng!
This is a sword move!
Xie Feng raised his eyelids slightly and nodded. "This move is barely acceptable. After all, you can't have too much hope for us. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
Gu Yu gritted her teeth in anger and said, "You're too scared to fight, you just dare to provoke me with words! Humph, you're a coward too!"
Xie Feng said, "I just wanted to see your potential. Since you put it that way, I can't hold back anymore. Do you even know what true Swordsmanship is?"
Gu Yu coldly snorted, "My Swordsmanship is the true Swordsmanship!"
"Wrong!"
Xie Feng's gaze turned cold. He casually picked up a twig from the ground. The twig was ordinary, genuine.
From the moment he started chatting to the moment he picked up a branch, the black panther with Sword Qi was still frantically slapping at him with its claws, trying to shatter his protective aura.
Of course, this is of no use.
Gu Yu glared at Xie Feng, when suddenly, a tremendous sense of crisis and fear overwhelmed him!
Without warning, he felt fear!
"You..."
Before Gu Yu could finish speaking, Xie Feng swung a tree branch and easily struck the black panther in front of him. With a loud bang, the black panther exploded with Sword Qi!
Thousands of Sword Qi burst forth from the tree branches!
It instantly enveloped Eastern Dawn Valley!
That was an unparalleled and terrifying Sword Intent!
The onlookers were so frightened that they all backed away!
Their faces were filled with shock; they couldn't understand why an ordinary tree branch could emit Sword Qi.
Sword Qi —can't only a sword unleash it?
What they saw before them shattered their understanding; they had been ignorant!
After the Sword Qi black panther exploded, intense energy emanated from its body and spread outwards, instantly frightening the onlookers who fled.
If you don't run, you'll either die or get seriously injured!
Only Gu Yu, unable to react in time, was struck by the energy and forced to stagger backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
He clutched his chest, his blood churning uncontrollably!
Wow!
He spat out a second mouthful of blood!
A turbulent sea of emotions surged within Gu Yu's heart, filled with disbelief...
"How could this happen?" he murmured, his years of unbridled confidence shattered today!
It shattered into tiny pieces!
With a casual flick of a tree branch, Sword Qi filled the sky, and the battle was over...
What an unparalleled powerhouse!
"Remember this: my Swordsmanship is the true Swordsmanship!"
Xie Feng tossed away the branch, dusted off his hands, and smiled easily with an air of arrogance.
He didn't want to bully the weak, nor did he want to embarrass the other party too much, so one move was enough! After all, the other party was just a spoiled brat, not an enemy.
After the battle ended, everyone gasped in surprise.
Suddenly, someone looked at Xie Feng uncertainly and whispered, "Don't you guys think... he looks familiar?"
"What looks familiar?"
"This is Xie Feng, the sect leader of the Xuanji Sect!"
"What did you say? He's Xie Feng, the sect leader who's ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking?!"
"Impossible! This is definitely not Xie Feng! I have a portrait of him!"
As one person spoke, he suddenly unfurled a portrait, and many people gathered around to look at it. The moment they saw the portrait, they fell silent.
"Holy crap! This drawing is so weird! Is the artist jealous of Sect Leader Xie's good looks? Why did they draw him so ugly?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's because we drew him so ugly that we couldn't recognize him!"
You have to make the artist pay you back!
Everyone chimed in, saying that the person in the portrait looked completely like Xie Feng —absolutely hideous!
"Sect Leader Xie is so handsome! He's a million times more handsome in True Person than in the portrait!"
"This is absolutely the ideal life!"
"Handsome and capable, tell me, which girl wouldn't be attracted to a man like that?!"
"Luckily, I passed! Hehe, aren't you jealous?"
Many girls looked at Xie Feng with starry eyes, clearly captivated by his exceptional talent and good looks...
Keep it low-key, keep it low-key.
Xie Feng quite enjoyed this flattery, but he remained rational and simply pressed his hand down slightly, instantly silencing the crowd!
Gu Yu staggered over, staring at him in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly. "You... you're the sect leader of the Xuanji Sect?!"
Xie Feng tilted his head and asked, "Doesn't it look like it? Indeed, I'm much more handsome than in the painting."
Gu Yu lowered his head. "I lost!"
Xie Feng pursed his lips and said, "I wasn't fighting you. We were just sparring and having some fun."
He was more skilled than Gu Yu, so even if he won, it would be an unfair victory. He didn't want to become someone who bullied the weak.
It's so embarrassing to even tell anyone!
Gu Yu lowered his head and turned his face to one side. "I've lost! This is the price I pay for my arrogance, and I accept it wholeheartedly!"
Hearing this, Xie Feng, who had previously had no interest in him, suddenly changed his mind.
I initially thought this guy was just an arrogant and spoiled brat who was simply looking for trouble, but now it seems he has some redeeming qualities.
He asked calmly, "What are you going to do next?"
Gu Yu raised his head, his gaze resolute, and said, "I want to join the Xuanji Sect and learn Swordsmanship from you!"
This competition completely won him over!
Admiration for the strong is a universal human trait!
Xie Feng thought for a moment, then looked at Sushang who was walking over, " Xiao Shang, what's your opinion?"
"Although he is arrogant, he has good talent. If he is properly guided, he will definitely achieve great things in swordsmanship."
Sushang also gave it high praise.
Xie Feng clapped his hands. "Alright! Since Elder Sushang says so, then you may stay!"
Gu Yu released his sword and bowed respectfully with clasped hands.
