The faces of the people around him had dull expressions, and their hearts were beating fast.
Their attention was all on the battlefield, and they did not notice at all that Palace Master Xiao had been by their side all along.
But as far as they know, Hall Master Xiao has not appeared these days. Why is he here now?
A thought suddenly appeared in their hearts, could it be because of Ren Pingsheng?
Many people looked thoughtful. This possibility was extremely high. After all, Palace Master Xiao just said I will care about him. This sentence was clearly in response to Huo Quan's humiliating words towards Ren Pingsheng. This shows that Palace Master Xiao cares about Ren Pingsheng very much.
Thinking of this, their expressions became a little weird. In this case, wouldn't Huo Quan be kicked on the iron plate?
The senior brother who humiliated the palace master still wants to join the Haotian Palace and gain the recognition of the palace master?
I'm afraid I'm not dreaming.
Huo Quan was not an idiot. He quickly realized what was going on in front of him. His face became extremely pale, and he looked at Xiao Muyang in fear and explained: "Palace Master Xiao, I..."
"When I was studying at Yuncang Academy, Senior Brother Ren once answered my doubts about my practice. Later, I was hunted down by the Canglan royal family. Senior Brother Ren tried his best to protect me. What you just said was not only humiliating Senior Brother Ren, but also
It's humiliating me."
Xiao Muyang said, directly interrupting Huo Quan's words. Huo Quan's face twitched slightly, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
This is definitely the most embarrassing moment in his life. He is being humiliated in front of countless people, and that person is someone he admires very much. This feeling can only be felt by him.
Ren Pingsheng looked at Xiao Muyang with a bright smile on his face. He knew that no matter how high Xiao Muyang reached, his character would not change.
"My words before were too stupid. I am willing to apologize to Ren Pingsheng and ask Palace Master Xiao to forgive me this time. I will never do it again in the future." Huo Quan bowed to Xiao Muyang, his attitude seemed very sincere, as if it came from the heart.
I know I was wrong.
Everyone looked at Xiao Muyang. As long as Xiao Muyang said a word, Huo Quan would be deprived of the qualification to compete, and he would never be able to join the Haotian Palace in the future.
"Senior Brother Ren, what do you think should be done?" Xiao Muyang looked at Ren Pingsheng and asked.
Xiao Muyang's words caused the crowd's expressions to change, and a thought immediately flashed through their minds. Does the meaning of Xiao Muyang's words mean that the decision-making power will be handed over to Ren Pingsheng?
Huo Quan's eyes were fixed there, and he felt a sense of despair in his heart. He just said a lot of humiliating words to Ren Pingsheng, how could Ren Pingsheng let him go?
"I will fight with you, and the loser will not be allowed to join the Haotian Palace." Ren Pingsheng looked at Huo Quan and said. After his words fell, the expressions of countless people around him were frozen there, their eyes widened, as if they heard something.
Incredible words.
"Is Ren Pingsheng crazy?" Everyone thought in their hearts and looked at Ren Pingsheng with very puzzled eyes.
He could decide whether Huo Quan would stay or go with just one sentence. Why would he say such a thing? If he was the one who lost in the end, would he really give up joining the Haotian Palace?
Not only other people, but also Xiao Muyang could not help but show doubts, but after thinking about Ren Pingsheng's character, he understood in his heart.
Although Senior Brother Ren had an ordinary background, he had never cared about it and would not use external forces to change it. Therefore, Senior Brother Ren did not go to him privately, but directly participated in recruiting disciples and joined the Haotian Palace with his own strength.
If he deprives Huo Quan of the qualification to compete, some people will think that Senior Brother Ren is not as strong as Huo Quan and only joined the Haotian Temple because of his relationship with him. Given Senior Brother Ren's character, he is naturally unwilling to accept such criticism.
So Senior Brother Ren chose to risk everything and use the outcome of this battle to decide whether he and Huo Quan would stay or not. Only one of them could join the Haotian Palace.
After thinking about this, Xiao Muyang felt very regretful. If he had not stood up just now, this matter would not have evolved to the point it is now. Even if Senior Brother Ren lost, he would still be able to join the Haotian Palace.
As for Huo Quan, it’s not too late to teach him a lesson later.
However, now that things had come to this, he couldn't stand up and stop him. He could only pray in his heart that Senior Brother Ren could defeat Huo Quan.
"I promise you." Huo Quan responded to Ren Pingsheng, a look of joy flashed deep in his eyes. He was extremely confident in his own strength, and it was easy to defeat someone from Canglan Country.
An extremely sharp sword power spread in the space, and it suddenly reached the level of the third realm. Now, Ren Shengsheng, who is in the late stage of cultivation, is only one step away from the half-step to the sky, and may cross it at any time.
Huo Quan glanced at Ren Pingsheng with cold eyes, stepped forward suddenly, and a stream of hot flame breath filled the air from his body, turning into giant flame dragons, opening their huge mouths to swallow Ren Pingsheng.
"Cut." Ren Pingsheng spit out one word. When he said this sound, he pointed his finger forward, and a dazzling sword light slashed out from the void. There was a loud bang, and a fire dragon was directly hit by the sword.
The light splits into two.
Ren Pingsheng's face was calm and composed, and he waved his palms continuously. The sword light shuttled rapidly through the void, passing through the bodies of the fire dragons. In just a moment, all the fire dragons in the space were torn apart.
"What a powerful attack!"
A gleam flashed in the eyes of many people. It seemed that it was not luck that Ren had reached this point in his life. He was indeed very strong. It would not be easy for Huo Quan to defeat him.
Seeing the fire dragon being easily broken by Ren Pingsheng, Huo Quan's expression was no longer as calm as before. With a thought in his mind, a flame spear appeared in his hand. When the spear was thrust out, the spiritual energy in the surrounding space became extremely violent.
Filled with a flame-like aura, it then surged crazily in the direction of Ren Pingsheng.
Endless flame spiritual energy flowed through the air, like a fire storm, causing the temperature of the space to soar sharply. At this moment, Ren Shengsheng felt like he was in a sea of fire, and the blood in his body was boiling.
However, there was still no big fluctuation in his eyes. He could only see his figure floating in the air. His movements were so mysterious that it was difficult to catch the trajectory of his movement. Bright sword lights bloomed out, even though the flame storm was powerful.
Terrible, but still unable to withstand the sword attack.
"Chichi..." Harsh sounds continued to be heard, and the fire storm was torn open one after another, as if it was riddled with holes, and its momentum was much weaker. Then everyone saw a white figure shooting out of the storm and heading straight towards Huo Quan.
And go.
Seeing Ren Pingsheng coming to kill, Huo Quan's eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he immediately shot forward without the slightest thought of flinching.
"clang!"
The flame spear and the long sword collided in the air, erupting with a metallic sound, and then the two figures retreated at the same time. This scene shocked the crowd, and they were even indifferent.
Xiao Muyang looked at the battle ahead with a serious look on his face. Senior Brother Ren and Huo Quan were similar in strength. Neither could defeat the other easily. It just depends on who can seize the opportunity.
"Kill!" Huo Quan shouted, killing Ren Pingsheng like a giant beast. At the same time, terrifying flames roared away, but he saw Ren Pingsheng's whole body was wrapped by sword intent. When the flames approached his body,
He was immediately killed without being able to hurt him at all.
Ren Pingsheng walked forward, his momentum like a rainbow, an extremely powerful sword force condensed in the void, and fell directly on Huo Quan's body, causing Huo Quan's face to change, and the spear in his hand suddenly moved forward to kill.
, wanting to tear this sword force apart.
However, the power of the sword seemed to be stronger, causing the spear to bend at a strange angle. Huo Quan trembled in his heart, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes. How could this happen?
His power can't be compared to this person?
"Bang, bang..."
A series of explosion sounds were heard, the spear exploded inch by inch, and the sword force continued to press forward. Huo Quan's face suddenly turned pale, and he felt as if he had been pierced by ten thousand swords. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood on his body
The breath immediately weakened.
"Huo Quan was defeated!"
The crowd's eyes were full of shock, and there was a wave of rage in their hearts. Huo Quan had spoken wildly in front of everyone, as if he was sure of victory, but now he was defeated by Ren Pingsheng. This was really too ironic.
Seeing Huo Quan's defeat, Xiao Muyang's tense heart finally relaxed. He was still thinking about how he should keep Senior Brother Ren in Haotian Palace if Senior Brother Ren was defeated.
But looking at it now, his idea is redundant.
Senior Brother Ren defeated Huo Quan in an upright manner and proved with his strength that he can join the Haotian Palace. No one will criticize himself.
"You lost. Remember what you promised before." Ren Pingsheng glanced at Huo Quan and said calmly.
Huo Quan always lowered his head, as if he did not dare to face the eyes of the crowd. He knew that he was like a clown at this moment, and everyone was looking at him strangely. How proud he was before, he was now ridiculous.
"What are you still doing up there?" came a cold voice, and the speaker was none other than Xiao Muyang.
Hearing this voice, Huo Quan flashed away from the fighting platform and left the area in despair. He no longer had the dignity to stay here.
Looking at Huo Quan's leaving figure, many people felt sad. Huo Quan was definitely the most miserable person so far.
He was originally ranked number one, shining brightly and being worshiped by everyone, but now he is running away like a lost dog. This matter will inevitably spread, and then not only Huo Quan's reputation will be damaged, but the Huo family will also be affected.
However, Xiao Muyang didn't think too much. No matter what Huo Quan and the Huo family would go through in the future, it had nothing to do with him.
"Senior Brother Ren." Xiao Muyang looked at Ren Pingsheng and shouted, with a gentle smile on his face: "Are you the only one coming to the academy?"
"Wan'er, Di Fan, and Yue Lengfeng are all here, but today's battle is over and they have gone back to the inn to rest." Ren Pingsheng replied with a smile.
"They are all here!" Xiao Muyang showed a joyful smile in his eyes, looking very happy, and said: "After the recruitment is over, I will hold a banquet in the palace to welcome you."
"Okay." Ren Pingsheng smiled and nodded. They would not use Xiao Muyang's connections to join the Haotian Palace, but Xiao Muyang wanted to receive them. How could they refuse this offer!
