The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 750: Chapter 733: Challenge_3

Xue Sheng, knowing his thoughts had been seen through and realizing there was nothing to be gained by asking, forced a laugh and said, ”Lady Xia, at such a young age, you truly are a heroine among women, not conceding to men, just like Lady Rakshasa of the Bishui Temple, truly admirable!”

The Bishui Temple ranks eleventh among the mid-sized powers in the Capital City. The Sect Leader, Lady Rakshasa, Kui Qijun, is a woman. However, she is over thirty years old and has been infamous in the Jianghu for a long time, known as a ruthless widow!

She is a woman of few words but dark and cunning. Although she came, she rarely speaks or participates in discussions. But having brought her people personally, it is clear she is also dissatisfied with the Feiyun Pavilion.

Upon hearing Xue Sheng’s words, Kui Qijun only raised her eyebrows lightly, remarked coldly, ”True skill is shown through battle, does it matter if one is male or female? Why not start? Planning to chat until tomorrow?”

Xue Sheng glared at her. This woman was really annoying. If it weren’t for matters concerning the five families, when else would he need to engage with her?

However, what Kui Qijun said was true. Regardless of what is said, true skill must be demonstrated. At this point, it doesn’t matter if the Feiyun Pavilion Master has a strong backing, or who is supporting them, just fight first!

Thus, the duel continued!

As Xia Wenjin said she came to observe, she really just watched, not caring or involving herself in sending people to the arena.

The second person from Feiyun Pavilion to take the stage was a First-class Initial Tier master, who, after a bout with the Blood Tiger Hall expert who had just shaken Sang Youchong back seven or eight steps with his Powerful Energy, won by half a move.

Could it be that this one will also face five opponents before stepping down?

Kui Qijun raised her brows at her Left Protector, who understood and boldly took to the stage. This Left Protector was at the First-class Middle Tier.

After fifty or so moves, Feiyun Pavilion was defeated!

Finally, truly defeated? This gave Xue Sheng and his group hope for victory.

Since it’s soldier versus soldier, general versus general, there are only three opponents left on their side, while we still have fifteen people.

The third person from Feiyun Pavilion took the stage.

Still facing this Bishui Temple’s Left Protector.

And astonishingly, Feiyun Pavilion was defeated again.

For the first time, a hint of a smile emerged on the usually expressionless Kui Qijun’s face, and Xue Sheng’s group was more delighted, secretly sneering, realizing that the first person who came on stage from Feiyun Pavilion was indeed a master, while the later ones were just mediocre. With such skills, did they think they could win?

Thanks to the arrogance and pride of Feiyun Pavilion, Sang Youchong didn’t exhaust himself much. If the fight continued, it would not be certain who would win or lose against this Left Protector!

They looked over and saw Xia Wenjin appearing calm and at ease. Even after Feiyun Pavilion lost two rounds in a row, she seemed entirely unconcerned.

Xue Sheng’s group also glanced at Ling Xiao sitting beside her, and their previous excitement waned significantly.

How could they have forgotten? Soldier versus soldier, even if they win entirely, what of it? Although it’s easy to find a thousand warriors, a general is hard to find. Ultimately, it’s the general who decides the victory!

However, for Ling Xiao to take on all five of them alone, it seems their chances of victory are still significant!

At this time, the stage began again.

Bishui Temple’s Left Protector fought two matches, both lasting numerous moves before winning, and in the third match could not continue winning.

But with more people on this side, someone soon took the stage, continuing the cycle.

Back and forth, Feiyun Pavilion no longer adhered to the previous strategy of pretending to concede after facing five opponents.

Despite this, by the time Feiyun Pavilion’s last person took the stage, Xue Sheng’s side also had only three people left.

Everyone was on edge. The Feiyun Pavilion member consecutively won against two people, and by the final match, the faces of Xue Sheng’s group looked very grim. From their original twenty-two people against the five opponents, they fought all the way to the last person.

Thankfully, in the end, someone from Xue Sheng’s side won by half a move.

Yet, they felt not a shred of joy from the victory.

Through their relay strategy, they had merely won by half a move. Moreover, the first person from the opposing side conceded so nonchalantly. If it had been an all-out effort, the outcome might still be in question!

Xia Wenjin yawned and asked Ling Xiao, ”They’re done fighting, is it your turn now?”

Ling Xiao respectfully replied, ”Yes, Pavilion Master!”

Duan Sizhan’s eyes flickered, stood up and said, ”I am Lei Yang’s Duan Sizhan. Initially, I intended to have a showdown with Master Ling, but since Lady Xia is here, I think there’s no need for that, I should directly challenge Lady Xia instead!”

This wasn’t a sign of disrespect towards Ling Xiao; on the contrary, he did not feel confident about defeating Ling Xiao. However, this young Pavilion Master?

Even if she started practicing martial arts from birth, it would barely be sixteen or seventeen years, right? Whereas he had spent thirty years diligently honing his Sword Technique, surely, he should be able to defeat a mere young girl.
