CHAPTER 1283: CHAPTER 1283: MURONG XUE’S STRENGTH

Murong Xue gracefully landed in the square, her appearance undeniably drawing the attention of everyone present.

As for Murong Xue, no one present knew much about her.

However, the focus on her had never waned.

Firstly, because she was a disciple of Tiancang Sect, and secondly, her beauty was considered top-tier in the entire cultivation world.

However, regarding Murong Xue’s cultivation, no one had high hopes.

After all, she had only been cultivating for over ten years; no matter how talented, the cultivation time was simply too short.

Xu Nian didn’t think so; he believed there was immense potential hidden within Murong Xue.

Otherwise, Tiancang Sect wouldn’t spend such considerable effort to seal her cultivation.

Standing opposite Murong Xue was a young-looking man named Yunfeng, a loose cultivator, yet not weak in strength.

At this moment, looking at Murong Xue in front of him, his eyes held a mocking expression.

Regarding this Tiancang Sect’s number one beauty, he naturally had ideas.

If he could gain the favor of such a beauty and make it into the top twenty, that would undoubtedly be the peak of his life.

In the stands, Xu Nian clearly saw Yunfeng’s expression, a trace of killing intent flashing deep in his eyes.

This guy actually dared to harbor thoughts about Murong Xue, without a doubt, he had sentenced him to death in his heart.

"Beauty, you’re no match for me, why not just concede?" Yunfeng said with a smile, appearing gentlemanly, seemingly trying to win Murong Xue’s favor.

However, Murong Xue’s face showed no change, completely ignoring Yunfeng’s words.

"Looks like the beauty doesn’t plan to concede?" Yunfeng wasn’t angry at Murong Xue’s disregard.

In his view, beauties all have a bit of a temper; if they don’t, they aren’t real beauties.

"How about this, beauty, I’ll let you win this round, if you’ll become my Taoist companion?" Yunfeng said with a wicked smile.

"Shameless!"

"Despicable!"

The crowd immediately cursed under their breath.

How could this guy use such a method to flirt?

This was simply an insult to the Immortal Order Competition, moreover, he was flirting with Tiancang Sect’s number one beauty, hailed as a reincarnated fairy, Murong Xue.

Didn’t he know that Murong Xue was the woman Jiang Shengtian had his eyes on?

The surrounding crowd’s gaze at Yunfeng turned cold and mocking.

Jiang Shengtian’s brows also furrowed in anger, having to deal with Xu Nian was hard enough, yet here another cat and dog dared to covet Murong Xue.

If it weren’t impossible to take action now, he would certainly have slain Yunfeng without hesitation.

Xu Nian was equally displeased, seeing Yunfeng was clearly not a good person.

Moreover, Murong Xue had always been his reverse scale.

"Whether you yield or not, the result remains the same, if you can withstand this one sword from me, I’ll be your Taoist companion." Murong Xue finally spoke, her tone cold as ice.

Her words, however, left everyone present in shock.

"Are you serious?" Yunfeng was overjoyed.

To him, Murong Xue’s strength was at best within the top fifty, nowhere near a match for him.

Moreover, his comprehension of Profound Argumentation had reached the realm of the Sixth Level; not to mention one sword, he was confident he could take ten.

"Murong Xue never breaks her word," Murong Xue said solemnly.

"Haha, then bring it on! Beauty, I hope you keep your word, but rest assured, being with me, Yunfeng, you won’t regret it." Yunfeng laughed heartily, like a breeze in spring.

Everyone around was puzzled and speculated.

Did Murong Xue really take a liking to Yunfeng?

Otherwise, why propose such a wager?

In a battle of this level, unless there’s a significant gap in strength, rarely would anyone dare to say such things.

Jiang Shengtian frowned slightly, his gaze terrifyingly dark.

Xu Nian showed little reaction, though he hadn’t had much contact with the current Murong Xue, he knew a person’s nature is hard to change.

If Murong Xue dared to say such words, she must have something to rely on.

Therefore, this fight, Murong Xue was bound to win, and in merely one move.

Murong Xue no longer spoke, instead looking coldly at the arrogant Yunfeng in front of her, as a sharp sword appeared in her hand.

"Come now, beauty, shall I let you use one hand?" Yunfeng smiled and asked, effortlessly putting one hand behind his back, appearing to give way.

However, Murong Xue sneered coldly and unleashed a direct sword strike.

This strike had no frills, but at the moment it was released.

A dreadful coldness descended like a downpour from the heavenly dome.

The entire space seemed frozen; a terrifying sword radiance swept forth, freezing everything in its path.

Yunfeng initially didn’t care, but his expression quickly changed drastically.

When the sword radiance was near, his back was already drenched.

At this moment, he forgot his earlier boast about using one hand, wishing he could use both hands and feet.

Because this sword was terrifying beyond his ability to resist.

"Boom!"

Yunfeng ultimately failed to withstand the dreadful sword intent, his whole being seized by the cold, instantly frozen.

Those around were stupefied, not expecting Murong Xue to be this strong.

The power of this strike had clearly reached the peak of the Ice Attribute Profound Argumentation at the Seventh Level.

Judging from Murong Xue’s demeanor, she carried it out with ease.

Therefore, many suspected that Murong Xue’s Profound Argumentation might not just be at the seventh level, but even the eighth.

"Has her comprehension of Profound Argumentation advanced this quickly? Is there some secret she’s hiding?" Xu Nian muttered to himself.

He always felt that Tiancang Sect’s sealing of Murong Xue’s memory was not as simple as he thought.

If it were simply because Murong Xue had an Innate Yin Body, Tiancang Sect wouldn’t place so much importance.

Moreover, from Murong Xue’s performance, she indeed harbored other secrets.

Nonetheless, regardless of what secrets Murong Xue had, in his heart, Murong Xue was the woman he was destined for, an unchangeable fact.

No matter how difficult, he would help Murong Xue recover her memory.

When the time comes, if Murong Xue says she doesn’t like him, he’ll have no words to say.

But he believed, since Murong Xue once took a sword for him, she must feel something for him.

The match concluded just like that, and the competition proceeded.

Soon, it was the tenth match.

This time, Jiang Shengtian took the stage, but his opponent was an unknown figure.

Before the fight began, his opponent was scared witless.

Jiang Shengtian apparently had no intention of holding back, killing the opponent with one sword.

This act instantly caused many to disdain him.

Jiang Shengtian clearly could have easily defeated the opponent, yet chose to kill instead; such actions were excessively ruthless.
