Chapter 751 - 734: Four Slashes
Xue Sheng and the others were taken aback. Yeah, why didn’t they think of that?
Ling Xiao’s martial arts were incredibly strong. It’s said that his skills were unparalleled, and he consistently led Feiyun Pavilion to numerous victories. His actions were both steady and ruthless, making Feiyun Pavilion’s reputation in the Capital City’s Jianghu grow immensely.
The forces that lost would turn pale at the mention of Ling Xiao and had no complaints.
This was because none of them knew that the Pavilion Master of Feiyun Pavilion was just a little girl!
They might not be able to beat Ling Xiao, but defeating a little girl shouldn’t be a problem!
Xia Wenjin raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised, and chuckled, "Challenge me?"
Ling Xiao immediately replied, "No way. The Pavilion Master has already entrusted me with these matters. If you challenge the Pavilion Master, wouldn’t it make me look incompetent?"
Duan Sizhan sneered, "If the Pavilion Master hadn’t come, I naturally wouldn’t make such a request. But since you’re here, shouldn’t we at least be thoroughly convinced?"
Ling Xiao proudly stated, "I can also make you thoroughly convinced!"
Duan Sizhan was taken aback. Ling Xiao’s refusal, his attitude of handling everything alone, and Xia Wenjin’s surprise made him think that Xia Wenjin actually had no skills and that it must be the influence of her seniors that made a master like Ling Xiao obedient to her.
He insisted, "How can that be the same? Although Master Ling has been entrusted with this matter, you’re still just a subordinate. Your Pavilion Master is here; you wouldn’t actually want to command your Pavilion Master, would you?"
Xia Wenjin narrowed her eyes slightly, not expecting this Duan Sizhan to be so good at sowing discord. She chuckled lightly and said, "I’m afraid I’ll disappoint Sect Leader Duan. Ling Xiao really can make decisions for me on this matter! But since Sect Leader Duan is so enthusiastic, I shouldn’t dampen your spirits, should I?"
Duan Sizhan, delighted, said, "Then please, Lady Xia!"
Ling Xiao, slightly worried, said, "Pavilion Master!"
Xia Wenjin gracefully stood up, waved her hand casually, and said, "A gentleman should fulfill others’ desires. Since this Sect Leader Duan doesn’t want to lose to you but to me, it’s only right to fulfill that! Our Feiyun Pavilion still has that bit of grace!"
Duan Sizhan: "..."
Such audacious words, as if no matter whether it was Ling Xiao or her taking action, he would lose. What was this about granting fulfillment?
Duan Sizhan laughed in anger, thinking how ignorant this young girl was!
He stepped onto the stage first, and since the words had been said in front of everyone, Xia Wenjin would have no choice but to step up and accept the challenge when he ascended.
Duan Sizhan’s saber had a long handle and a long blade, a horse-cutting saber, weighing over eighty pounds, yet Duan Sizhan held it with ease.
He gripped the handle, pointed the blade at Xia Wenjin below the stage, and shouted, "Lady Xia, please!"
Xia Wenjin’s gaze swept over Xue Sheng and the others, noticing their expectant and eager eyes, realizing that her age indeed made people underestimate her.
No way around it, she’d just have to go up and stretch her muscles.
She had fought on the night she was kidnapped, but upon discovering her opponent was Pu Yangji, she concealed her strength and didn’t fight to her fullest.
Now it seemed she could have a satisfying fight.
She stood up, looking relaxed, and said with a smile, "Ling Xiao, since I’m to face these Hall Masters, Sect Leaders, how about you meet that hero afterward?"
Referring to the protector from Blood Tiger Hall who had defeated a disciple of Feiyun Pavilion.
Soldier against soldier, general against general, Xia Wenjin had only intended to observe, but Duan Sizhan challenged her, so Ling Xiao would have to become a "soldier."
Exactly right, since a Feiyun Pavilion member had lost by half a move before, if Ling Xiao became the "soldier," he, who had not yet taken action or entered the field, would naturally get to challenge again!
Ling Xiao loudly responded, "Yes!"
The Blood Tiger Hall protector who had won by half a move was momentarily stunned.
The expressions of the crowd were not pleasant either, as what chance did they have left?
No, they still had a chance, a chance against this young Pavilion Master of Feiyun Pavilion.
Even if their subordinates lost, as long as they defeated this girl named Xia Wenjin, Feiyun Pavilion would obediently remain in fifteenth place, not dreaming of stepping over them to rise.
Xia Wenjin walked towards the stage.
She didn’t walk fast, her dress fluttered lightly, gracefully swaying like flowers brushing willows, exceptionally striking.
Step by step, she ascended the steps with calm eyes, a relaxed demeanor, seemingly unworried about losing. Duan Sizhan, with his burly figure and the horse-cutting saber gleaming with a chilling light, appeared fiercely sharp, while Xia Wenjin swayed like a willow branch in the wind, and she was still empty-handed.
When Xia Wenjin stood in front of Duan Sizhan, a sneer appeared in Duan Sizhan’s eyes, superior and contemptuous, as he said, "Lady Xia, where is your weapon?"
