93: Let me try

Feeling the powerful Qi on Li Gui’s body, Lin Lang was also slightly surprised.

“You Breakthrough to Eight-Star Martial Spirit?”

Li Gui grinned: “Lin Lang, this time I can definitely defeat you!”

Lin Lang snorted coldly: “I originally wanted to give Li Mengfan a surprise, but I didn’t expect to expose it on you.”

Hearing this, Li Gui was slightly stunned.

“What do you mean?”

Lin Lang also activated his battle Qi.

His Realm was surprisingly also Eight-Star Martial Spirit.

Discussions immediately broke out below the stage.

“My heavens, Senior Brother Lin Lang has also Breakthrough to Eight-Star!”

“Interesting, this is truly too interesting!”

“Both of them have just Breakthrough, their strengths are almost the same, it will be quite difficult to determine a winner.”

“These two are something else, always chasing after each other, they probably developed feelings for each other by now!”

Li Gui sighed: “Alas, I knew it, defeating you isn’t an easy task!”

Lin Lang laughed: “Hahaha, Li Gui, let’s fight!”

The two took out their weapons and rushed towards each other.

Lu Xingchen also stared closely at the two, very interested in this battle.

Both were top powerhouses of the outer sect, and through this battle, he could glimpse the strength of the outer sect powerhouses.

Li Gui used a long saber, a profound grade high-rank Spiritual Artifact.

Lin Lang used a long spear, also profound grade high-rank.

With the same Realm, the same weapon grade, and even the same Cultivation Technique grade, this battle seemed exceptionally fair, testing the practical combat abilities of the two.

The fighting styles of the two were vastly different.

Li Gui fought with wide, sweeping movements; his attack frequency was not fast, but every saber strike was full of power.

Even a powerhouse of the same Realm would be severely injured if hit by his saber.

Lin Lang’s spear technique, however, was incredibly swift, with extremely fast thrusts.

The two clashed for hundreds of moves, both leaving blood marks on each other.

The blood marks on Lin Lang were few and deep, while the blood marks on Li Gui were many and shallow.

But neither of them could completely take down the other.

After another clash, Lin Lang said in a deep voice: “Li Gui, if we keep fighting like this, we’ll both be exhausted to death. Let’s decide the winner in one move!”

Li Gui replied: “Alright, then I’ll play along with you!”

Both unleashed their ultimate moves simultaneously.

Lin Lang raised his long spear high, his battle Qi condensing on the spear shaft, then he thrust it fiercely towards Li Gui.

A cyan battle Qi spear shot out towards Li Gui.

Li Gui also swung his saber down, and a saber blade the size of a person slashed towards Lin Lang.

The two attacks collided, erupting in a huge shockwave.

Both were sent flying.

Lin Lang stopped at the edge of the arena.

Li Gui, however, just landed off the arena.

“Lin Lang wins! This challenge match fails!”

The Elder on the arena said so.

Hearing this, a huge clamor immediately erupted below the stage.

“Splendid, truly too splendid!”

“As expected of the top ten big shots on the Earth Ranking, I can’t even block a casual move from them.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, Li Gui lost again. When will he be able to turn the tables?”

“The two are both opponents and bosom friends!”

Lin Lang cupped his hands towards Li Gui: “Junior Brother Li Gui, I accept your concession!”

Li Gui snorted coldly: “Who are you calling Junior Brother? We joined the sect at the same time, alright! Lin Lang, next time I will definitely defeat you!”

Lin Lang chuckled: “Hahaha! I’ll be waiting for you!”

Li Gui returned to the gathering place of the Ghost Gate members and immediately saw Lu Xingchen.

He said apologetically: “I’m sorry, Junior Brother Lu, I lost to Lin Lang again!”

Lu Xingchen patted his shoulder and laughed: “Senior Brother Li, there’s no need to blame yourself, it was just a difference of one move. I should thank you for letting me witness such a wonderful battle.”

After this battle, Lu Xingchen saw the strength of the Cangxuan Sect Disciples.

Whether it was Li Gui or Lin Lang, their combat power was stronger than the Heaven Burning Tower guards of the same Realm.

How difficult is that!

If he were to face the two, it would be difficult to win without using “Startling Soul Roar” for a sneak attack.

Li Gui nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: “A loss is a loss, there’s nothing more to say. Next up, Zheng Jinghui, you’re on!”

Zheng Jinghui, who was nearby, nodded heavily: “Okay, Sect Leader, I won’t let you down!”

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly stunned.

“Senior Brother Li Gui, wasn’t this a challenge match you initiated against Lin Lang? Why is there a second round?”

Li Gui laughed: “Who challenges for no reason? The main reason is that our Ghost Gate and Lang Sect had a conflict, both wanting the right to use Anbai Hall, so we made this bet. Both sides send five people, best of three out of five.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is!”

Li Gui said in a deep voice: “This bet is very important, deciding not only the right to use Anbai Hall, but also the prestige of both organizations.”

“Unfortunately, I lost to Lin Lang in the first round, losing one point already.”

Lu Xingchen chuckled: “Don’t worry, if things really go south, I’m still here.”

Hearing this, Li Gui was slightly stunned.

“You? Junior Brother Lu, you just joined the sect, I’m afraid you’re willing but unable. But don’t worry, our Ghost Gate’s overall strength is stronger than Lang Sect, so our chances of winning should be quite high.”

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, not saying much more.

Anyway, he would just step in if the situation wasn’t right.

In the second match, Zheng Jinghui took action and easily defeated his opponent.

The speed with which he ended the battle, and his elegant posture, even surpassed Lin Lang, drawing exclamations from the female Disciples below the stage.

Zheng Jinghui was still showing off, his sleeves fluttering, and his bowing gesture was graceful.

Lu Xingchen also nodded slightly; Zheng Jinghui’s strength was not weak.

In the third match, Li Jie entered the arena.

Li Jie fought a great battle with his opponent and barely won, securing another point for Ghost Gate.

In the fourth match, Wang Dong entered, but narrowly lost.

Match point!

This last match would decide the outcome of this bet.

Li Gui frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: “Wang Dong, what’s wrong with you? Holding a Beast Fire, yet you can’t even beat a Three-Star Martial Spirit.”

Wang Dong knew he was in the wrong and dared not retort, only weakly saying: “I’m sorry, I was careless.”

Li Gui said in a deep voice: “For the last match, Lin Lang will definitely send a powerful Disciple to fight, who among you can go?”

Just then, Lu Xingchen stepped forward.

“Senior Brother Li, let me try!”

Li Gui asked softly: “Junior Brother Lu, what is your Realm?”

“One-Star Martial Spirit,” Lu Xingchen said indifferently.

Hearing this, before Li Gui could speak, Wang Dong first sneered.

“Lu Xingchen, you, a One-Star Martial Spirit, have the nerve to speak? Although I lost to a Lang Sect member, wouldn’t it be easy to hang you up and beat you?”

Lu Xingchen said indifferently: “If I lose, I will refine Medicinal Pills for Ghost Gate for free for one month. Senior Brother Li, what do you think?”

Hearing this, Li Gui fell into deep thought.

A Fourth-Grade Alchemist working for free for a month was worth far more than an Anbai Hall.

But this bet concerned the prestige of two organizations, should he agree to Lu Xingchen?
