Chapter 17: The power of a whip, the protagonist goes crazy

On the immortal platform.

"Quiet!"

Shangguan Shu tried his best to calm the crowd's emotions, but the more he did so, the more emotional the crowd became; some people even threw stones at the stage.

Shangguan Shu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Xue Jinli helplessly: "Envoy Xue, what do you think?"

In fact, he also thought that the selection criteria were too harsh. In the entire Qianyuan City, there were only a handful of young men who could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage at the age of eighteen. These young men had long been spotted by various branches of the Qingming Sect and accepted as disciples. There was no need for them to participate in the selection.

Therefore, if the selection conditions could be relaxed, he would have given an explanation to the prominent families in the city.

Xue Jinli frowned and glanced at Shangguan Shu.

Shangguan Shu immediately lowered his head, humble and respectful.

Seeing this, Xue Jinli walked to Shangguan Shu's side, looked at the excited crowd below the stage, and said softly, "Who is dissatisfied?"

After hearing Xue Jinli's question, the people who were originally cheering happily seemed to have a switch turned off and fell silent on the spot.

After all, the other party is a direct disciple of Ziyun Peak, with extremely high talent and the skills she practices are of the highest quality. They have just embarked on the path to immortality, so how could they rashly come forward and offend her.

"You're not dissatisfied?"

Xue Jinli looked at everyone with a slightly cold look in his eyes:

"If there are those who are dissatisfied, I can give you a chance. If you can touch the corner of my clothes within a hundred rounds, I will make an exception and join Ziyun Peak as a direct disciple. How do you think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion in the audience.

Someone hid in the crowd and shouted at the top of his voice, "Is it possible to reach the Jindan realm?"

If a Jindan stage cultivator could have this opportunity, then becoming Ziyun Peak's direct disciple would be almost certain.

After all, although Xue Jinli is very talented and has terrifying combat power, he is only at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As Jindan realm cultivators, even though they were no match for the enemy, they could still easily touch the edge of their clothes within a hundred rounds.

Several Jindan-level cultivators in the field stared at Xue Jinli intently, their eyes filled with desire.

"Of course."

Xue Jinli spoke calmly.

Wow——

There was a noise again from under the Dengxian Terrace.

"Xue Jinli, worthy of being the disciple of Ziyun Peak, is truly domineering!"

"She is beautiful and has a sweet voice. She is a heroine. I love her!"

"However, Fairy Xue may be a little too confident. I just saw the bloodthirsty mad knife!"

"What? You're not talking about the bloodthirsty Mad Blade Luo Kuang who killed three cultivators of the same realm in one battle?!"

"It's him!"

"Damn it, he is already at the third level of Jindan and is in his prime, why is he here to join in the fun!"

"It is said that he is unable to continue practicing because he is missing the skills and has no further realms to advance. That is why he came here to participate in the selection. He hopes to continue practicing with the help of Master Xu Yang!"

"Although it is understandable, Fairy Xue is in danger. After all, that bloodthirsty mad knife kills with every move and never shows mercy!"

Listening to the discussions around him, Xiao Ye also saw the bloodthirsty mad knife they were talking about, and said indifferently: "If this bloodthirsty mad knife dares to hurt Senior Sister Xue, I will kill him!"

The tone of his voice made it seem as if he had already regarded Xue Jinli as his own exclusive love.

Li Lao in the jade pendant rolled his eyes after hearing this: "..."

You don’t even know how much you weigh!

With your fifth foundation building level, you are not even enough to be killed by one blow from others.

And I will kill him...

That is to say, he looks like an ordinary person, otherwise, if the bloodthirsty mad knife sensed his murderous intent, he would probably have been hacked to death on the spot!

…

"Since Fairy Xue has said so, then I, Luo, will be disrespectful to refuse!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a middle-aged man with a fierce look and a sturdy build walked out of the crowd with a knife on his back, and the onlookers consciously made way for him.

He arrived in front of the Dengxian Terrace and jumped lightly, landing on the terrace like a monkey climbing a rock. He looked at Xue Jinli and said proudly:

"Bloodthirsty Mad Blade Luo Kuang, I hope the senior disciple of Ziyun Peak will teach me!"

Xue Jinli nodded without saying anything, and didn't even look at Luo Kuang.

Luo Kuang didn't expect Xue Jinli to look down on him like this. After all, he had made a great reputation among the independent cultivators. If he chose to join a small sect, even the elders of the sect would have to treat him with courtesy. What right did Xue Jinli have? After all, he was just a disciple of Ziyun Peak, not the True Lord Huashen!

Luo Kuang said angrily, "Luo's knife is fast, Miss Xue, be careful!"

The next moment.

Luo Kuang brazenly pulled out a demon-slaying sword from his back.

The fierce blade light, wrapped in bloody murderous aura, pounced towards Xue Jinli like an evil ghost with bared fangs and claws, as if to tear him into pieces.

Someone in the audience couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Fairy Xue, be careful, that is Luo Kuang's famous skill - the mysterious sword technique!"

"It's actually the mysterious sword technique. This Luo Kuang is too cruel!"

"In order to become Ziyun Peak's direct disciple, he will do anything to achieve his goal!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It was Xue Jinli who agreed to it herself. Otherwise, who would dare to attack her?"

"Even I have to temporarily avoid the blade of Luo Kuang. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Miss Xue to resist!"

There was a Jindan realm cultivator who was as famous as Luo Kuang who secretly thought that he did not think highly of Xue Jinli at all.

Luo Kuang heard the reminder from the audience and was extremely disdainful in his heart: "You don't know what this means. I mobilized all my magic power in this sword, which was transmitted from the palm of my hand to this ghost-slaying sword. It is so powerful and heavy. Coupled with my murderous aura, it is like a net that can catch the sky and the earth. Not to mention Xue Jinli who is in the Foundation Establishment Realm, even if his cultivation is higher than mine, he will die on the spot if he is not careful..."

But the next moment, an incredible scene happened.

Xue Jinli put his hand on his waist, pulled out a fiery red whip, and then threw it towards Luo Kuang nonchalantly, as if he was throwing it casually, without any effort at all.

But in the eyes of everyone, it seems like another world.

The fiery red whip was like a dragon covered in flames, whistling towards the evil spirit with the blade. Wherever it passed, everything was charred black, as if it had been roasted by the blazing flames.

The blade light, which was emitting a strong murderous aura, was like meeting its nemesis. It melted with a crackling sound as soon as it came into contact with it.

In an instant.

The blade light was completely swallowed up, and the ferocious evil spirit was burned into ashes by the flames spewed from the dragon's mouth.

Bang!

A crisp sound.

Skin torn and flesh torn apart...

A shocking whip mark fell on Luo Kuang's face, causing him to bleed profusely and drip down his face.

The momentum is not over yet.

Luo Kuang fell helplessly towards the Ascension Platform like a kite with a broken string.

"puff!"

Luo Kuang fell to the ground with a bang, his blood surging and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole aura was many times weaker than before.

Now, even if he is an ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, he can still kill him!

quiet!

Deathly silence!

The originally noisy Dengxian Terrace now seemed like a thousand-year-old tomb buried underground. There was not even a breath of air, as if it were full of dead people.

No one can tell how Xue Jinli did it?

All they saw was Xue Jinli casually whipped his whip, and then destroyed Luo Kuang's sword force with ease, and even left a long whip mark on Luo Kuang's face.

After a while.

"hiss--"

Only then did some people in the field start to gasp wildly.

So scary!

This is too outrageous!

That Luo Kuang is at the third level of Jindan!

A realm higher than Xue Jinli!

He couldn't even make it through one round!

Is this the value of what Ziyun Peak taught us personally?

Why does it feel like he is much stronger than the disciples from other peaks?

Xiao Ye's eyes were like torches as he looked at Xue Jinli holding a long whip on the stage, as if sparks were spurting out, and he said enthusiastically:

"Only someone like this is worthy of being my woman!"

"Senior Sister Xue, I must get you!"

When Li Lao in the jade pendant heard Xiao Ye's words, he didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he didn't care and just let him go.

…

"Is there anyone who still disagrees?"

Xue Jinli held a whip in his hand, looking indifferent as he scanned the entire audience.

The people who were originally shouting about unfairness were now like being muted. They lowered their heads, shut their mouths tightly, and dared not make any sound at all.

At this time, some people focused their attention on the few cultivators in the Jindan stage.

The Jindan realm cultivator who was being stared at by everyone had a red face: "Why are you looking at me? I reached the Jindan realm by taking drugs!"

"Besides, I'm not here to participate in the selection. I'm just here to watch the fun!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

While running away, he muttered quietly:

"I'm not stupid. Even Luo Kuang couldn't last a round. Why would I go up there? To get whipped?"
