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 beside them 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 very 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. It can be seen that Palace Master Xiao cared about Ren Pingsheng very much.
Thinking of this, their faces 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 wanted to join the Haotian Palace and gain the appreciation of the palace master?
I'm afraid it's not a dream.
Huo Quan was not an idiot, and 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 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 was definitely the most embarrassing moment in his life, being humiliated under the watchful eyes of countless people, and that person was someone he admired very much. Only he could feel this feeling.
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 previous words 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'm 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. Did Hall Master Xiao mean to hand over the decision-making power to Ren Pingsheng?
Huo Quan's eyes were fixed there, and a sense of despair arose 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. 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 to themselves, looking 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 Haotian Palace because of his relationship with him. With 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 the matter had come to this, he could not stand up to stop it. 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 flash 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 third level of Dacheng. Now, Ren Shengsheng, who is in the late stage of cultivation, is only one step away from the half-step of Tiangang, and may cross it at any time.
Huo Quan glanced at Ren Pingsheng with cold eyes, and stepped forward suddenly. 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 split 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 movements. 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 flame 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 flaming spear and the long sword collided in the air, emitting 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 easily defeat the other. It just depended on who could seize the opportunity.
"Kill!" Huo Quan shouted, killing Ren Pingsheng like a huge beast. At the same time, terrifying flames roared away, but Ren Pingsheng was surrounded 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 force 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 was... The breath immediately weakened.
"Huo Quan is defeated!"
The crowd's eyes were full of shock, and there was a surge 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 lost.
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 could join the Haotian Palace. No one would criticize him.
"You lost, remember what you promised before." Ren Pingsheng glanced at Huo Quan and said lightly.
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 the moment, being looked at by everyone with strange eyes. How proud he was before was now ridiculous.
"What are you still doing up there?" A cold voice came out, and the person who spoke was none other than Xiao Muyang.
Upon hearing this sound, Huo Quan shunned the battle platform and left the area in dejection. 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 admired by everyone, but now he is running away like a lost dog. This matter will inevitably spread. By then, not only Huo Quan's reputation will be damaged, but the Huo family will also be affected.
But Xiao Muyang didn't think too much. No matter what Huo Quan and the Huo family would experience 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 their battle today 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 completed, 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!
