#206 - Ranked second on the Qingyun List (4000 words, two-in-one)

It was an incredibly exaggerated event.

As Yue Lou regained his senses, the cultivators in the sky were falling to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

In the beginning, the disciples of Tianxuan Sect took turns, one after another, in a gauntlet-style battle to defeat Xu Ming.

At first, they felt that doing so was a little unfair.

But later, these Tianxuan Sect disciples discovered that the gauntlet was not unfair to Xu Ming; on the contrary, it gave him a chance to catch his breath.

As a result, what these Tianxuan Sect disciples didn't expect was that Xu Ming would directly abandon his advantage.

Xu Ming found these disciples too slow, so he directly rushed into the crowd, fighting hundreds of people alone.

Then, these Tianxuan Sect disciples were forced to join the battle.

And then, Yue Lou witnessed a scene that he would never forget in his life.

A cultivator in the Guanhai realm and a martial artist in the Xiongpo realm knocked down cultivators with higher realms one after another. He was like entering an uninhabited land, just like a real dragon swimming freely in the sea.

Not to mention those Guanhai realm cultivators who could only stand still like lambs waiting to be slaughtered under Xu Ming's spiritual pressure and fist energy.

Even the Longmen realm cultivators couldn't withstand two moves from Xu Ming.

In comparison, those Jindan realm cultivators could fight Xu Ming for a while.

But it was only a slight fight; they couldn't defeat Xu Ming even if they all attacked together.

Many people felt that this matter was too dreamlike.

This man actually crossed two major realms and easily defeated Jindan realm cultivators.

In just a little over an incense stick's time, a large area of cultivators had been cleared in front of Xu Ming.

The other disciples didn't dare to step forward.

They knew that even if they went up, they would just be delivering themselves to their deaths, simply humiliating themselves.

And it was at this moment that the vast majority realized one thing: this guy named Xu Ming had a realm quality that was exaggeratedly high.

Perhaps he could really fight his way out of the Baiwa Secret Realm.

Those rumors about Xu Ming began to waver in their minds.

Did such a strong person really need to use any conspiracies or tricks? Did he really need to collude with the Demonic Sect?

Moreover, people said that he had several friends helping him at the time.

With helpers to share the pressure, he could completely become a war god in the Baiwa Secret Realm.

If the Tianxuan Sect disciples' initial attitude towards Xu Ming was "contempt and disdain."

Then now, even if the Tianxuan Sect disciples felt ashamed and angry because they were defeated by Xu Ming alone, they only had respect for Xu Ming in their hearts.

Yue Lou also discovered that the eyes of most Tianxuan Sect disciples looking at Xu Ming had already changed.

At this time, even if Yue Lou was any dumber, he would understand Xu Ming's intention and know why Xu Ming would deliberately provoke the entire Tianxuan Sect.

Xu Ming wanted to clear his name.

This kind of clearing of one's name didn't need any substantial evidence; strength was Xu Ming's best evidence.

Cultivators, to put it bluntly, are just creatures that admire the strong.

The cultivation world respects strength. As long as your strength is in place, many things, even if they are wrong, will become right.

Not to mention that Xu Ming was not wrong from the beginning.

Of course.

To achieve this, the most important thing is strength, like Xu Ming's, a strength so powerful that he resembles a young ferocious beast.

"Does anyone else want to come up and compete?" Xu Ming carried his hands behind his back.

Xu Ming's words spread again in the air.

Compared to the initial righteous indignation of all the cultivators.

Now, most of the cultivators looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward.

Xu Ming chuckled. Just as Xu Ming was about to walk forward to meet the son of the Tianxuan Sect Master.

Suddenly, a cyan long sword plunged down from the sky, the tip of the sword pointing straight down at Xu Ming's crown!

Xu Ming raised his head and slowly raised his hand, extending his finger.

The cyan long sword was blocked by Xu Ming's finger, unable to advance an inch.

The spiritual power of the sword blade and the martial artist's true qi of Xu Ming's finger clashed, and the resulting airflow continuously rippled out.

"Zheng!"

The cyan long sword made a trembling sound.

The martial artist's true qi on Xu Ming's finger flicked the sword tip away.

The cyan long sword kept turning backwards, drawing arc after arc in the air. Finally, this cyan long sword landed in the hands of a woman wearing a cyan long dress.

Xu Ming raised his head and looked over.

A woman came stepping forward, holding a long sword.

Many male cultivators' eyes lit up when they saw this woman, and some male disciples even had a hint of shame in their expressions.

It was like a strong young man losing face in front of his favorite goddess.

"May I know the lady's name?" Xu Ming cupped his fist in salute, carefully looking at this woman.

This girl's appearance was indeed top-notch. A head of beautiful light ink-colored green hair fluttered slightly in the night wind. Only a simple jasper hairpin was used to slightly gather a few strands of hair, and the rest gently draped over her snow-white shoulders.

Under the sleeves of thin gauze, a slender hand was revealed. She had a slender figure, and although her figure was not so exaggerated, it gave people a feeling of willow branches.

But objectively speaking, compared to Mo Zhuer, Qin Qingwan, and other women in the top ten of the Beauty Roll, she always felt a little lacking.

How to say it?

It was as if the top ten people on the Beauty Roll had reached the extreme in their respective styles.

Although the Beauty Roll has rankings, "aesthetics" are different for everyone. You can't judge who is better-looking than whom among the top ten on the Beauty Roll. You can only say who you like more, who fits your XP more.

But this girl, compared to the top ten on the Beauty Roll, you can clearly feel that she is indeed not as good-looking as the top ten on the Beauty Roll.

Of course, this comparison is also compared to the ten most beautiful women in the world.

And this girl, placed in any place, can be considered a beauty that can overthrow cities and states.

"Liuxiang Peak - He Qingqing."

He Qingqing spoke coldly.

"He Qingqing."

Xu Ming felt that the name He Qingqing sounded a bit familiar.

"He Qingqing? She is He Qingqing?" Soon, Xu Ming remembered.

But the pseudonym that Qingwan used in the Baiwa Secret Realm was called "He Qingqing."

Not only that.

It seems that this He Qingqing is the woman that Yuwen Xi likes.

How to say it?

Yuwen Xi still has a good eye.

It's just that I feel that this He Qingqing is a bit cold.

I didn't expect Yuwen Xi to like this style.

"Does Miss He want to compete with me?" Xu Ming asked.

"That's right."

As soon as He Qingqing's words fell, before Xu Ming had time to prepare, the long sword in He Qingqing's hand had already stabbed towards Xu Ming.

Xu Ming tilted his head, and the long sword in He Qingqing's hand cut off a strand of hair between Xu Ming's temples.

"Huh?" Xu Ming felt something was wrong, quickly stretched out his finger, and flicked it on He Qingqing's sword.

In an instant, the martial artist's true qi exploded He Qingqing's long sword, and the true qi pushed the cyan smoke outward through the long sword.

Xu Ming distanced himself.

He Qingqing's long sword was surrounded by cyan smoke, and behind her stood a woman wearing a cyan long dress.

It's just that this woman's appearance was completely different from He Qingqing's.

"Sword Spirit."

In Xu Ming's heart, these "two words" popped up.

Semi-immortal weapons and immortal weapons will definitely have sword spirits. Of course, first-grade immortal swords will also produce sword spirits.

Although sword spirits are rare, they are not extremely rare existences.

The reason why Xu Ming was a little surprised was simply because it was Xu Ming's first time seeing one.

However, having a sword spirit does not mean that He Qingqing is a sword cultivator.

In Xu Ming's opinion, He Qingqing was taking the path of "magic sword," that is, using Taoism as the main and swordsmanship as the auxiliary.

Taoism derives thousands, and even He Qingqing's swordsmanship is Taoism.

"Go!"

He Qingqing did not hold back and used the strongest killing move from the beginning.

The cyan long sword left He Qingqing's palm and stabbed towards Xu Ming. Xu Ming punched out and shook the long sword.

The cyan smoke emerged from the long sword again, constantly floating upwards, and the sword spirit appeared again.

The sword spirit opened her eyes.

And at that moment.

The cyan smoke, like water, kept wrapping around Xu Ming's body.

Soon, Xu Ming's hands and feet were tied up, and the sword spirit appeared in front of Xu Ming. She held the long sword and slashed down at Xu Ming.

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked!

Finally! Is this Xu Ming going to be defeated?

As expected of Fairy He!

But obviously, they were happy a little too early.

I saw a cold light flying out of Xu Ming's storage bag.

Sharp sword qi and sword intent quickly spread from Xu Ming's body.

The sword spirit's eyebrows were pierced through by the Nine Heavens Cloud Lightning Sword.

The sword qi emitted by the long sword was like a scalpel, cutting open all the cyan smoke!

The Nine Heavens Cloud Lightning Sword fell into Xu Ming's hands again.

Xu Ming stabbed out with his sword, hitting the body of the cyan long sword.

"Zheng!"

The cyan long sword made a trembling sound and smashed into He Qingqing's chest. He Qingqing's throat felt sweet, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Junior Sister He!" Several male disciples shouted worriedly.

This Xu Ming! Doesn't he know how to cherish women?!

"I lost." He Qingqing picked up her sleeves, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, turned and left, without any hesitation.

Xu Ming looked at He Qingqing's back, wondering if he had been a bit too heavy-handed. No matter what, this He Qingqing was Qingwan's friend, and also the object of Yuwen Xi's affection.

Wouldn't that Yuwen Xi guy blame me?

If it was before He Qingqing, there were still some disciples eager to try.

But after He Qingqing, no disciple wanted to fight Xu Ming anymore.

He Qingqing was a top figure among the young disciples, ranked in the top ten.

In the end, even Senior Sister He was defeated.

"Does anyone else want to come up and compete?" Xu Ming asked again.

Listening to Xu Ming's arrogant inquiry was even more uncomfortable than being killed by him, but they just couldn't beat Xu Ming!

"If only Senior Brother Chen were here!"

"If it were Senior Brother Chen, he would definitely be able to pin him to the ground and stomp on him."

Many people had this thought in their minds.

But they also knew that Senior Brother Chen was unlikely to come.

Putting aside Senior Brother Chen's realm, even if he came, it would be bullying the younger generation. Moreover, Senior Brother Chen went to the Northern Wilderness to carry out a mission, and he might not even have returned yet.

Xu Ming gave everyone one last look, feeling that no one would come again.

"Miss Yue, stop spacing out. Take me to Mount Liefu to visit that Senior Brother Xia," Xu Ming said to Yue Lou as he landed.

"Ah?" Yue Lou was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Okay, okay."

Yue Lou looked at Xu Ming a few more times. If Yue Lou's attitude towards Xu Ming before was more casual,

then now Yue Lou's attitude towards Xu Ming was basically all respect.

"Don't rush, don't rush. If this little brother has time, can you let me learn a thing or two?"

A man's voice came from the horizon.

Xu Ming frowned, his Dao heart constantly warning him.

That kind of spiritual pressure was like a mountain, making Xu Ming feel a bit breathless.

Xu Ming turned to look, and a stubble-faced man carrying a giant sword stepped through the air.

Every time he took a step forward, the spiritual power under his feet would make a crackling sound, as if the spiritual power under his feet was crushed by him.

"Senior Brother Chen?"

"Senior Brother Chen is here!"

"No way? When did Senior Brother Chen come back?"

"Senior Brother Chen is here. I want to see how arrogant this Xu Ming can be!"

Everyone was filled with confidence when they saw this man. In their opinion, the moment Senior Brother Chen arrived, Xu Ming had already lost.

Xu Ming sized up the man.

This man was very unkempt. Not to mention his stubble, the clothes on his body were also ordinary linen clothes, and even his pants seemed to have two holes.

His hair was casually tied up with a dirty cloth, he had a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and there was a hole in the shoes on his feet, revealing his toes.

Although this man looked very casual, even a bit like a beggar, Xu Ming had a very good first impression of him.

Xu Ming liked such unrestrained people.

In Xu Ming's mind, the chivalrous heroes of the Jianghu should look like this.

Xu Ming turned around and was about to fly into the air again.

If there were no accidents, this should be his last battle in the Tianxuan Sect. After this battle, no one should come looking for trouble with him again.

However, just as Xu Ming was about to take off, Yue Lou grabbed the corner of Xu Ming's clothes.

"Miss Yue?" Xu Ming asked in confusion.

Yue Lou shook her head at Xu Ming: "Don't tell me you're going to fight him?"

Xu Ming: "What else?"

"No, no," Yue Lou shook her head quickly, "You can't beat Senior Brother Chen!"

Xu Ming asked: "Is this Senior Brother Chen very powerful?"

Yue Lou gave Xu Ming a speechless look: "Don't tell me you really don't know who he is?"

Xu Ming smiled helplessly: "I really don't know who this Senior Brother Chen is?"

He had just come out to travel, how would he know who he was?

"His name is Chen Yun!"

Yue Lou reminded him.

"Ranked second on the Azure Cloud List."
