419: Kong Wushuang who cannot be hidden

As expected, once Kong Wushuang spoke, the gazes of the surrounding Prodigies toward Lin Ye became even more filled with Battle Intent.

A few Prodigies even began walking toward Lin Ye.

Looking at Kong Wushuang's gentle smile, an ordinary person would likely have been deceived by his appearance.

But with his extreme sensitivity to malice, combined with the System's insight panel, how could Lin Ye fail to see that this guy had ill intentions?

Trying to lure me into a trap?

Then don't blame me for dragging you down with me!

"Saint Lin!"

At that moment, someone had already arrived at Lin Ye's side and spoke directly to him: "Since you are a Saint of the Flying Feather Holy Sect, you must be a top-tier Prodigy. I am untalented, but I am a Sequence Disciple of the Mingyue Sect, and I would like to..."

Boom!!!

Before the man could finish his sentence, the rest of his words, along with the teeth in his mouth, were swallowed down.

Because Lin Ye had punched him in the face; the force, like a mountain, sent the man flying backward, slamming him hard against the edge of the arena, where his entire body became embedded.

The arena even began to crack because of it.

Seeing this, Kong Wushuang frowned slightly: "Saint Lin, what is the meaning of this? This Tianjiao Grand Meeting is meant for our younger generation to verify our Dao with one another. Could it be that just because someone wanted to challenge you, you beat him like this? And a sneak attack at that?!"

"Hehe..."

Lin Ye didn't care at all about the reprimand in Kong Wushuang's tone and instead chuckled: "Saint Kong, it seems you didn't understand what I said earlier. I said, if we are to discuss the Dao, let it be between the two of us."

"As for that person..."

Lin Ye looked at the youth embedded in the arena and sighed lightly: "You heard it too; he wanted to discuss the Dao with me. Since that is the case, I naturally had to show him what a gap in strength means."

"So, Saint Kong, can we begin?"

"..."

A cold glint flashed in Kong Wushuang's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

"Hehe... If Saint Lin wishes to discuss the Dao with me, that is certainly acceptable, but my cultivation is shallow, and it is difficult to..."

Swoosh!!!

Before he could finish, a sword beam like a red streak slashed horizontally across. The sword beam even emitted the cry of a Dragon; it was grand and sharp, the brilliant light illuminating Kong Wushuang's entire body.

His pupils constricted. He never expected that Lin Ye would strike without warning; he was simply a madman!

But in his haste, he could no longer care about such things.

Kong Wushuang formed a seal with one hand, and a page appeared before him; the character 'Guard' was written upon it.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar erupted as the sword beam and the intent of the Confucian Dao burst forth, sending those nearby flying.

The ground shattered layer by layer.

The two had not fought on the arena, so the grand formation did not activate.

Swoosh!!!

Kong Wushuang's figure flashed, and he arrived directly on the arena. His hair crown had been severed by the sword beam; with his hair disheveled, there was no trace of his previous refined and gentlemanly appearance.

Clearly, in the exchange just now, he had fallen into a disadvantage.

Kong Wushuang stared fixedly at Lin Ye, the Upright Qi on his body flickering and bursting forth constantly.

Lin Ye also landed on the arena, looking at Kong Wushuang with a smile: "Saint Kong, you really hide your strength well. You just said you couldn't compare to others, but now it seems there are probably few people present who can contend with you."

Because Lin Ye's sword beam just now was too fast, Kong Wushuang had no time to hide his cultivation.

His cultivation at the Peak of the Undergoing Tribulation realm was now fully exposed.

Tang Xueqin looked at Kong Wushuang on the arena in confusion: "Didn't Senior Brother Saint just break through to the Undergoing Tribulation realm? Why is he already at the Peak of the Undergoing Tribulation? And he faintly shows signs of breaking through further?"

Not to mention the Disciples of the Xuanyang Academy, the younger generation from other factions also fixed their gazes on Kong Wushuang.

This Saint of the Xuanyang Academy was usually too low-key, leading to very few people knowing that he possessed peerless combat power.

This was also the reason why Xiao Ming believed he could defeat the Saint.

Damn it!

Sensing the surrounding gazes, Kong Wushuang felt a surge of anger; the reason he had always wanted to be low-key was to hide himself.

That way, no matter what he did, he could wash his hands of it completely. After all, who would suspect a Saint of the Academy who had shallow cultivation and treated others with gentleness?

Now it was ruined; if nothing went wrong, after today, the fact that he had hidden his cultivation would inevitably be exposed.

Everyone here was no fool.

For so many years, Kong Wushuang had maintained a persona of being low-key and non-competitive, fighting evenly with everyone, or even losing outright!

What was the purpose of such concealment?

It was likely that once something happened in this Zhongtian Star Region in the future, the first person to be suspected would be Kong Wushuang himself.

The gentle smile that had always hung on Kong Wushuang's face was gone, replaced by a cold chill.

"Saint Lin, it seems you truly wish to discuss the Dao with me! However, if I accidentally injure you, please do not take offense."

"Wait until you can actually injure me before you say that."

Upon hearing this, Upright Qi burst forth from Kong Wushuang's body, causing the Void Realm to emit a roaring sound. The Upright Qi connected Yin and Yang, pierced through heaven and earth, and derived a grand formation.

Hum...

The Spirit Sword on Lin Ye's back unsheathed. The moment he grasped the Spirit Sword, his Aura underwent a heaven-shaking change, and a surge of Sword Intent shot straight into the clouds.

The Sword Intent alone made the onlookers feel a stinging pain in their eyes, as if they were being constantly slashed by sharp swords.

"Another Undergoing Tribulation realm expert?!"

Just by looking, one could tell that Lin Ye was certainly several years younger than Kong Wushuang, yet he also possessed cultivation at the Undergoing Tribulation realm.

And in terms of Aura, he did not lose to Kong Wushuang in the slightest.

"No wonder he is called a Saint!"

"This person's Sword Intent is simply the most top-tier among the younger generation."

"I'm afraid even the Prodigies of the Heavenly Sword Sect are not his equal, right?"

"..."

Lin Ye ignored the crowd's flattery. His eyes were fixed on Kong Wushuang, and the Spirit Sword in his hand bloomed with light that soared into the sky.

At this moment, Kong Wushuang slammed his hands down violently.

"Suppress!"

Rumble!!!

Above the Void Realm, the massive grand formation descended. The vast sound of the Confucian Dao triggered a resonance between heaven and earth; the Void Realm vibrated violently, the earth shook constantly, and the entire Lun Dao Hall was filled with the mesmerizing sounds of Confucianism.

The grand formation capable of inducing resonance between heaven and earth was extremely terrifying. The onlookers felt their scalps tingle; they even thought that if they were in that position, they would likely be suppressed by the grand formation in an instant.

And the next moment, a brilliant sword light left everyone completely speechless.

It was seen that the Spirit Sword in Lin Ye's hand slashed toward the grand formation.
