The silence was as thick as death!
"Everyone, shut up!"
Xue Ziyan glared at the chattering female disciples of the Five Soul Lineage below the stage and said coldly, "It hasn't even started yet, how do you know I can't do it? I think you are all just full and making noise for no reason!"
"With a group like you who raises others' spirits while diminishing their own, our Five Soul Lineage has always been looked down upon!"
"Exactly, you’re only flaunting your status as the closed-door disciple of the chief elder!"
"To put it bluntly, you’re just a pretty vase..."
"Everyone, shut up!" The five soul daoist was enraged, and immediately, those who were criticizing Xue Ziyan fell silent.
At this moment, Shen Subing looked down at Xue Ziyan and Xiang Shengtian, asking, "Are you ready?"
"Ready." Xue Ziyan and Xiang Shengtian exchanged glances, their eyes filled with intense killing intent.
"Good, I hereby announce that the duel officially begins!"
As Shen Subing finished speaking, a flash of light appeared at Xiang Shengtian's finger, and a High-Grade Treasure Flying Sword materialized from thin air, pointing at Xue Ziyan. He sneered, "With a path to heaven that you refuse to take and no gates to hell, today you won't escape!"
"I'll give you a chance to say goodbye to Tan Yun. Hurry up!"
Xue Ziyan scoffed, "Shameless, in the eyes of others you may be a strong one, but to me, you're nothing more than a nobody. I’ll give you time, but you should say goodbye to your master instead!"
"You filthy creature, let me see if your strength is as tough as your words!" Xiang Shengtian's eyes flashed with killing intent, and suddenly, another Xiang Shengtian appeared in the eyes of the crowd!
Two exactly the same!
Then three, four, five... When nine Xiang Shengtian appeared, a surge of overwhelming aura burst forth from their bodies, causing the space to twist violently, resembling a spatial fetal soul!
"Die!"
The nine Xiang Shengtian shouted in unison, instantly surrounding Xue Ziyan. Each of their hands stirred up a storm of spiritual power, making the void tremble as they transformed into nine indistinguishable afterimages, slamming towards Xue Ziyan!
"Pfft! Is the Misty Shadow Nine Scripture Technique so impressive?"
Xue Ziyan's mocking voice turned all the disciples of the Nine Meridians on the summit pale!
After all, the Misty Shadow Nine Scripture Technique was a treasure-level technique practiced by the space attribute disciples of the Holy Spirit Lineage!
To be belittled so easily by Xue Ziyan was nothing short of astonishing!
As the crowd derided Xue Ziyan's ignorance, the five soul daoist suddenly stood up, shocked, and exclaimed, "What kind of technique is that!"
At this moment, not only the five soul daoist was stunned, but even Dantai Xuanzhong and the various chiefs and elders were as well!
As for the disciples, they were even more astonished!
On Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2, Xue Ziyan was suddenly enveloped in dazzling golden light representing the power of gold!
Then, another Xue Ziyan appeared beside her, surrounded by swirling emerald green wood elemental power!
But that wasn't all!
Almost simultaneously, three more Xue Ziyan appeared, one surrounded by blue water elemental power, another engulfed in three-meter-high flames of fire power!
The last one had brown earth power swirling around her at high speed!
At that moment, only Tan Yun realized that Xue Ziyan was using the Five Spirits Divine Sword Technique he had gifted her!
"How is this possible? Why are you faster than me!"
A terrified voice came from the nine Xiang Shengtian, as all nine of them effortlessly dodged the nine palm strikes!
"It's only natural that I'm faster than you!"
As Xue Ziyan flickered, she suddenly spread out around the Crouching Dragon Platform, each delicate hand holding a Medium-grade magical artifact Flying Sword!
The five Flying Swords represented the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, each corresponding to a different Xue Ziyan!
