Yan Zhonghe's chest ached with anger as he looked at the faces of the Sword Sect disciples.
This time.
His plan was to have his three disciples sweep through and suppress the younger generation of the Sword Sect!
Initially, the plan was going very well.
But then.
Li Shuang appeared out of nowhere!
Despite being only at the Golden Core stage, she had successively defeated Cong Xin and Wu Lingchuan!
The Blade Sect's provocation had, at this moment, become a complete joke.
Even on the Nascent Soul stage arena, Ren Gu still won.
However.
This was no longer an overwhelming victory; it completely failed to achieve his goal of crippling the Sword Sect's younger generation!
Yan Zhonghe's expression turned grim, and he suddenly snapped, "Ren Gu, stop playing around, end the fight quickly."
Ren Gu's mind sharpened. He instantly leaped out of the battle circle, and then, a blood-red murderous aura surged from him, and the already massive blade in his hand instantly grew even larger.
Ren Gu, holding the giant blade, leaped into the air.
"Jiang Rongyi, I've played with you for so long, it ends now!" Ren Gu sneered, and the massive blade slammed down towards Jiang Rongyi.
Jiang Rongyi looked up at the giant blade. His aura was already locked by the blade's momentum, making it impossible to escape the attack range of the blade technique.
Fortunately.
Jiang Rongyi had no intention of escaping!
A green treasured sword instantly appeared in Jiang Rongyi's hand, and he plunged it into the arena floor.
Subsequently.
The treasured sword transformed into countless phantoms, enveloping him completely.
"Sword Array: Universal Equilibrium Array!"
A green light shield immediately enveloped Jiang Rongyi.
Ren Gu's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
A sword array!
This Jiang Rongyi actually had such a trick up his sleeve!
His spiritual power cultivation was originally a small stage higher than Jiang Rongyi's.
However.
As soon as the sword array appeared, Ren Gu felt his power flowing towards Jiang Rongyi.
This transfer only stopped when the cultivation levels of the two reached an equilibrium.
At the same time.
The power of his blade technique was actually forcibly weakened, and Jiang Rongyi's sword barely withstood his first wave of attack!
Yan Zhonghe's face immediately turned ugly.
He couldn't help but glance at Meng Yifei: "Universal Equilibrium Sword Array! This sword array can forcibly balance the power difference between two sides. Sect Master Meng, your disciple has truly inherited your mantle."
Yan Zhonghe's voice was somewhat chilling.
The Way of Balance.
This was clearly Meng Yifei's Way of Balance.
The troublesome thing about Meng Yifei was that he would forcibly make it a fifty-fifty fight with you.
And Jiang Rongyi had actually entered the threshold of the Way of Balance!
He had truly underestimated the disciples of the Sword Sect!
Meng Yifei's expression was calm: "Just a small achievement."
Yan Zhonghe sneered: "But he is not you. How long can he sustain this sword array by forcibly using it? The ultimate victor will still be Ren Gu."
Meng Yifei did not speak, because what Yan Zhonghe said was the truth.
Jiang Rongyi was clearly struggling. Besides the sword array being somewhat beyond his capabilities, he had been entangled with Ren Gu for a long time, and his spirit had been affected by the Heaven-Slaying Blade. Now, his spirit was clearly unstable.
In the air.
Ren Gu said sharply, "I'd like to see how much longer you can last!"
He swung his blade, chopping down once more.
This time, the blade's momentum was even fiercer than before.
Jiang Rongyi gritted his teeth, continuing to support the grand array, but a dense, blood-red murderous aura suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness. Jiang Rongyi's spirit trembled, and the grand array immediately became precarious.
The massive blade descended, but this time, it could not be balanced by the array.
Jiang Rongyi looked at the sharp blade light, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
Master said that the Way of Balance emphasizes equilibrium!
So Master planned day after day, balancing this side, balancing that side.
Master said.
That was the true essence of the Way of Balance.
But!
Was it really so?
If he followed Master's path, he should surrender directly at this moment.
But.
He didn't want to surrender!
His blood was still boiling.
Regardless of victory or defeat, he still had one sword strike he wanted to unleash!
All the surging emotions suppressed in his blood, at this moment, burst forth.
The myriad phantoms merged into one. At this moment, Jiang Rongyi held nothing back. He didn't think about the Way of Balance, nor did he consider any retreat.
He only knew that his blood was boiling.
This sword strike.
Had no rules, it was just his anger roaring.
Blade and sword!
Collided in the air!
Meng Yifei looked at Jiang Rongyi on the arena and couldn't help but be stunned.
It was the first time he had seen his disciple completely lose his calm facade.
He thought.
Jiang Rongyi was a copy of him.
He thought.
Jiang Rongyi would follow his path step by step, continuing to maintain the balance of the Sword Sect.
But just by looking at the anger in this sword strike, he understood.
Jiang Rongyi was not him.
Even if it was the same Way of Balance.
Jiang Rongyi's balance was only to accumulate strength for this final strike.
His disciple had more passion than he did!
Meng Yifei's hand instinctively tightened on the armrest of the chair.
Blood-red murderous aura and green light intertwined in the air.
For a moment, they were evenly matched.
"Senior Brother Jiang!"
"Senior Brother Jiang!"
The Sword Sect disciples couldn't help but shout.
As Li Shuang had said before, the glory of the Sword Sect could not be supported by one disciple alone.
Now.
Jiang Rongyi was putting this into practice with his actions.
The glory of the Sword Sect would be guarded by thousands upon thousands of Sword Sect disciples!
At this moment.
They looked up at the light in the sky, their blood surging!
Jiang Rongyi's sword, carrying all his anger, its green light gradually suppressed the blood-red light.
"Break!" Jiang Rongyi roared.
The sword light broke through the blade light, rushing towards Ren Gu like a long ribbon.
Ren Gu's heart couldn't help but tremble.
He had always thought he could end the fight at any time.
But Jiang Rongyi was actually able to fight him to this extent.
Could it be.
He was going to lose?
No, he absolutely couldn't lose!
Otherwise.
Today, the Blade Sect would become a complete joke.
Ren Gu desperately resisted.
But.
He couldn't stop it.
He actually couldn't stop it!
Ren Gu looked at the sword light close before his eyes, a trace of fear flashing in his pupils!
However!
At this very moment.
The murderous aura in Jiang Rongyi's sea of consciousness erupted, his hand softened slightly, and the sword light instantly dimmed.
Ren Gu seized the opportunity to block it. He realized that that move had exhausted all of Jiang Rongyi's strength, and now, defeating him would be easy.
Jiang Rongyi looked at him, but smiled: "I surrender."
After speaking, he directly jumped off the arena.
Ren Gu: "????"
What was wrong with these Sword Sect disciples?!
Was this Jiang Rongyi imitating that Jiang Yi?!
He clearly only needed to casually strike once to completely defeat him.
But just before he struck, Jiang Rongyi surrendered like that?
Jiang Rongyi lost.
Yet, earth-shattering cheers erupted in the arena.
As if Jiang Rongyi was the one who won.
Ren Gu's lips trembled, and he subconsciously looked back at Yan Zhonghe.
Yan Zhonghe's face was even more ashen. He said expressionlessly, "The Sword Sect disciples surrender quite quickly. Ultimately, the competition between young disciples is also a competition of their highest combat power. Ren Gu winning against Jiang Rongyi means winning against all Sword Sect disciples! All the Sword Sect disciples combined cannot compare to my disciple, Yan Zhonghe. Sect Master Meng, do you agree or disagree with this?"
