229: Daoxuan's helplessness, Lu Xueqi and Li Xun

Chapter 229: Dao Xuan's Helplessness, Lu Xueqi Battles Li Xun

Tongtian Peak.

Zeng Shuchang watched Li Xun stand up and walk towards the arena, his brows tightly furrowed, looking worriedly at Dao Xuan Zhenren beside him.

He slightly turned his body, leaned in, and whispered, "Sect Head, the current situation..."

"It's a bit unfavorable!"

"After our side's matches, only Qi Hao managed a difficult victory, but then due to excessive Spirit Energy consumption, he lacked stamina and was found out and defeated by the opponent."

"And even though Bookworm and Xiao Fan both fought with all their might, they only managed to take down one of the opponent's Disciples."

"Even if Xue Qi defeats Yan Hong now, still..."

Saying this, Zeng Shuchang pointed at Li Xun.

"I've heard that this Li Xun is the Senior Brother of the younger generation, the head of Incense Valley's twin talents, and is highly regarded by Incense Valley's Sect Head, Valley Master Yun Yilan."

"Such status and position..."

"Plus, that old fox Valley Master Yun Yilan definitely doesn't want to lose to our Qingyun Sect, so she will surely give him many hidden treasures."

"Facing him, Xue Qi is highly likely to be unable to win, and even if she manages a lucky victory, it would probably be a Pyrrhic victory."

"In that case, the opponent's last person only needs to exert a little effort to probably secure the victory in this match."

Tian Buyi, who was beside him, nodded slightly as he listened to Zeng Shuchang's analysis, his face showing agreement.

He smacked his lips, sighed, and said, "Although we still have one Disciple who hasn't competed."

"But in such a hurry, where can we find a Disciple who can contend against Nangong Lie in a short time?"

"If only Su Han hadn't been injured..."

"With him here, we wouldn't have any chance of losing."

Tianyun Daoren, Cang Song, and others also nodded upon hearing this.

For a moment, they were filled with regret and pity for Su Han's injury.

Dao Xuan Zhenren stood there, his Daoist robe gently swaying in the wind, a hint of helplessness also appearing on his face.

After all, before this, he had never taken this competition seriously.

But who could have expected that Su Han, his biggest trump card, would encounter a Heavenly Tribulation at this critical moment, causing him to fall into a coma?

Thinking this.

Dao Xuan Zhenren turned his head to look at Xiao Yicai and softly instructed, "Yicai, go make a trip to Xiao Zhu Peak right away and see how Su Han's injury is, whether he has woken up."

"Can he make it to this final match?"

"Go quickly and come back quickly, don't delay."

"If he hasn't woken up, or if his injury is too severe to participate in this final match, then we can discuss candidates to replace him."

Xiao Yicai responded, "Yes, Master."

Immediately, he lightly tapped his feet, transforming into a streak of light, and flew towards Xiao Zhu Peak on his sword.

Meanwhile, Li Xun had already arrived in the arena.

After standing firm, he first bowed deeply and elegantly towards Lu Xueqi.

As he straightened up, a gentle smile played on the corner of his mouth, his gaze fixed intently on Lu Xueqi, and he spoke, "Miss Lu, I have long admired your name."

"I am Li Xun of Incense Valley, and thanks to the undeserved affection of my elders in the Valley, I am the head of the younger generation."

"Today, to be able to spar with someone as extraordinary and refined as you, is truly a great pleasure in my life. I hope you will grant me much guidance."

His voice was clear and bright, as if naturally imbued with a noble arrogance.

This caused Liu Xiaoxiao in the audience to blush, her gaze glued to him in infatuation.

However, the Lu Xueqi opposite him seemed detached, her cold and frosty face showing no emotion, her entire being exuding an aloofness that kept people at a distance.

She simply gazed quietly at the tianya sword in her hand, the sword body cold, its light deep and profound...

"Can we begin?"

Seeing Lu Xueqi's coldness, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Xun's heart.

After all, who was he?

He was Li Xun of Incense Valley, the person most likely to become the Sect Head of Incense Valley in the future.

In Incense Valley, who dared to ignore him like this?

However, he wasn't angry, instead, his eyes became even more fervent, "Only such a cold woman is worthy of me, Li Xun."

Nevertheless, he decided not to say anything further.

He planned to use his strength to 'conquer' the beauty before him!

"Then let's begin!"

Saying this.

Li Xun flipped his right hand, and a ruler suddenly appeared in his palm.

It was precisely Li Xun's magical treasure, the Nine Yang Ruler.

Upon the ruler's body, a warm yet mysterious luster emanated, and the ancient runes engraved on it seemed alive, flowing slowly, faintly emitting powerful and vast Spirit Energy fluctuations.

At a glance, it was no ordinary item.

"Miss Lu, be careful!"

Before his voice fell.

Li Xun's posture was suddenly like a leopard, carrying the whistling wind, and he charged towards Lu Xueqi.

As he approached, he raised the Nine Yang Ruler high, carrying immense power, and swept it down towards Lu Xueqi.

Lu Xueqi's beautiful eyes lifted slightly, her cold gaze instantly locking onto the incoming Nine Yang Ruler. As the magical treasure was about to reach her, her posture was light and graceful, like a dancing butterfly, she subtly shifted her body to evade.

At the same time.

The tianya sword seemed to sense its Master's intention, and with the flow, it drew a dreamy, illusory arc, the Sword Qi like the frosty light of dawn, bursting forth abruptly, heading straight for Li Xun's face.

Li Xun felt a bone-chilling coldness, as if from the Nine Nether Hell, rushing towards him. He hurriedly brought the Nine Yang Ruler horizontally to block.

Clang—!

The clear sound of metal striking metal rang out.

The two magical treasures clashed.

For a moment, a fierce wind howled in the arena, sparks flew everywhere, and powerful energies crisscrossed, seemingly tearing the air apart.

"Again!"

Soon, Li Xun retreated, then charged towards Lu Xueqi again, and Lu Xueqi also met him with her sword.

In an instant, "Clang, clang, clang," sword and ruler clashed, the crisp sounds incessant.

After several rounds.

Lu Xueqi remained cold and composed, her swordplay showing no sign of panic.

In contrast, Li Xun's usually calm face was now filled with disbelief.

He had been full of confidence, thinking that with his deep cultivation honed over many years, supplemented by the sect's precious Nine Yang Ruler...

Even if he couldn't quickly defeat the enemy, he was certain he could steadily suppress Lu Xueqi and control the situation on the stage.

However, he hadn't expected Lu Xueqi's swordplay to be unexpectedly sharp.

Each move contained vast and powerful Spirit Energy, her sword moves were dense and intricate, leaving him struggling to cope.

"What kind of swordplay is this, so powerful..."

Li Xun gritted his teeth.

Looking at Lu Xueqi's beautiful face opposite him, "I must defeat her quickly, otherwise how can I make her look at me with admiration?"

Thinking this.

Li Xun's heart hardened, his gaze fixed intently on the Nine Yang Ruler in his hand.

He no longer held back, the magical power within him like a surging river, pouring into it frantically.

In an instant, the Nine Yang Ruler shone brightly, and a red mysterious fire formation appeared on the Nine Yang Ruler's scabbard, dazzling people's eyes.

Immediately after, the temperature around the arena rose sharply, heat permeated the air, and the air itself distorted.

Li Xun was seen chanting, obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations coming from his lips, using the Nine Yang Ruler as a guide...

"Small Eight shortage Mysterious Fire Formation, form!"

Instantly, the formation patterns of the Eight shortage Mysterious Fire Formation spread from the ruler's body like agile crimson snakes, covering the entire arena.

Crimson flames, like dragons, roared and rose, seemingly wanting to devour everything.
