Chapter 1579: Chapter 1343: The Sect Master Summons
Manlong was defeated.
Many people watched this scene, somewhat disbelieving.
The majority saw Jiang Hao draw his sword, and then with one slice, he chopped down.
Then a storm of strength swept up.
And then the battle ended.
The only thing remembered was that one slash.
At this moment, the former Lifeblood Refinement expert stood there bewildered.
But he remembered that slash.
And he remembered it very clearly.
If he were to study the sword, this slash would be a great opportunity for him.
“Senior Brother Jiang is just too amazing.”
The Lifeblood Refinement expert cried with emotion.
Normally, he wouldn’t have been able to see that slash, much less remember it.
The truth was almost laid bare.
This was intentional by Senior Brother Jiang.
“To return kindness for enmity, who says we’re the Heavenly Note Sect? Not even immortal sects compare to our Senior Brother Jiang,” he exclaimed with excitement.
At the same time, astonished cries filled the entire venue, deafening to the ears.
A battle for the ages.
A single slash to defeat the top disciple.
An unprecedented event since the founding of all sects.
Watching this scene, Zheng Shijiu and others also cheered.
Profitable, very profitable.
Bai Ye and Fairy Lian Qin became the biggest winners.
Of course, where some rejoice, others are bound to worry.
Like Miao Tinglian.
She watched as Jiang Hao defeated his opponent with a single move, finding it hard to believe.
“Does the fairy guard remember what she just said?” Heavenly Note Sect said to Heavenly Note Sect:
“A narrow victory means hidden cultivation, a stable victory would mean it’s nothing impressive.”
“How can this be nothing impressive?” Miao Tinglian smiled and explained, “A single move to defeat the enemy, what an outstanding talent, truly a dragon amongst men.”
Heavenly Note Sect smiled: “So what the fairy guard just said wasn’t the truth?”
Miao Tinglian: “…”
For some reason, she felt like she had lifted a rock only to drop it on her own foot.
She had calculated all possibilities but hadn’t anticipated that Jiang Hao would defeat Manlong in one move.
Who could have thought that?
She originally thought a narrow victory would elevate Jiang Hao’s potential.
Now, clearly with such great potential, it felt less impressive than a narrow victory.
Faced with Heavenly Note Sect’s gaze, Miao Tinglian could only offer an awkward smile.
Better not to say any more.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
She then changed the subject: “Which top disciple does the fairy guard think will make a move?”
Heavenly Note Sect shook her head.
She really didn’t know.
At this moment, among the top disciples, Bai Yi looked at everyone with a smile and said:
“My Junior Brother has already won, who among you will go next?”
Leng Wushuang looked at the stage, somewhat surprised: “He’s very strong.”
At first, she hadn’t cared, just casually coming to watch.
“How strong?” Ye Yaqing still appeared as the little Immortal Fate.
Whether it was natural or intentional, nobody knew.
The others also looked over, very curious about just how strong he was.
The initial reactions of the top disciples revealed some surprise.
Leng Wushuang said indifferently, “He has the makings of the top disciple.”
Hearing this, everyone was a bit astonished.
“Does Senior Sister Leng think he’s capable of clashing with you?” Wei Si asked.
“He’s qualified,” said Leng Wushuang.
“Then will Senior Sister Leng go down and try?” Ye Yaqing asked.
Leng Wushuang shook her head: “No need, you guys go ahead.”
Nobody else spoke.
Seeing this, Ye Yaqing said, “I’ll go then, I know him and am not afraid to offend a future top three.”
Having been affirmed by Leng Wushuang, it was destined that this Junior Brother would become one of the top among the top disciples.
It was only a matter of time.
No one spoke.
Thus, Ye Yaqing stood up and walked outside.
After defeating Manlong, Jiang Hao was waiting in place.
Manlong had experience with defeat.
Although the last time was intentional, he had lost once before; having lost again, he was growing accustomed to it.
As for continuing the struggle…
He had no plans for the moment, deciding to first improve himself and take it from there in the future.
After he left, Jiang Hao turned his gaze forward.
There, the top disciples gathered.
After some time,
Ye Yaqing approached with a smile, treading through the air.
“Junior Brother Jiang, long time no see.”
Seeing that it was Senior Sister Ye Yaqing, Jiang Hao also smiled and said:
“Senior Sister, please enlighten me.”
Ye Yaqing smiled and said, “Then I won’t hold back.”
As she spoke, Ye Yaqing threw a palm strike, and the fierce wind howled.
The move was grand in its momentum, but not very strong.
It was just a normal palm strike for testing.
For someone of Jiang Hao’s strength, it was easy to resist.
There was no going easy, nor was it deliberately targeted.
At this time, Jiang Hao looked at this palm with a wary expression.
Then he raised the sword in his hand and chopped down again.
Boom!
Sword’s intent and strength collided.
Rumble!
The strength seemed to pierce through the sword’s intent and howled over Jiang Hao’s body.
The edge of his clothing was torn open.
Then the force slashed across his body, tearing the fabric, and little by little, blood began to seep out.
Finally, Jiang Hao roared, and the sword completely chopped down.
But quickly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and half knelt on the ground before struggling to his feet.
He looked at the astonished Ye Yaqing and said, “I had already given my all in the fight with Manlong and thought that blocking Senior Sister’s palm wouldn’t be so exhausting; I didn’t anticipate that a top disciple would indeed be exceptional.
“Thankfully, I still managed to block it.”
Ye Yaqing, with a twitching corner of her mouth, felt this wasn’t the scene that should be unfolding.
But she still said, “Jiang Hao of Cliff of Broken Hearts, you have successfully challenged the top disciple and become the tenth top disciple.”
With those words, Ye Yaqing turned and left.
She was quite frustrated,
feeling as if she had been played.
Junior Brother Jiang was definitely pretending,
but she couldn’t see through it.
Jiang Hao’s severe injury excited those who supported Manlong.
They exclaimed that he was indeed seriously injured after all.
Though Manlong was defeated, Jiang Hao did not get off lightly.
He was just stubbornly enduring.
Perhaps in a life-and-death struggle, Manlong would have won, considering he didn’t start off at full strength in their bout, which wasn’t to the death but just a sparring match.
Manlong, however, found it odd; he was the one who had fought with Jiang Hao and could clearly perceive that the might of that slash had not affected Jiang Hao.
It was unlikely to cause a severe injury.
Most likely, it was a feint.
