Chapter 5202: Still not stopping!

And this was before they knew the true strength of the snow sword. Otherwise, they would have all gone crazy.
“What a pity, I was so close.” Lin Yi shook his head slightly. He was shocked that ground imprisonment could be so powerful, but it was the first time Leng Leng used it in public, and she wasn’t skilled enough to kill an early golden core like Xue Jianfeng.
As expected, as soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the scene changed.
” Xue Jianfeng let out a series of angry roars that shook the sky. Then, the veins in his body started to jump crazily. An unprecedented and inexplicable power was released from his body.
Everyone was stunned, and even Xin Yijie cried out in shock,”Early gold core! He’s already at the early golden core stage!”
With Xue Jianfeng’s strength as the number one foundation building cultivator, everyone thought that it was only a matter of time before he reached the Golden core stage. If it had happened in the small Jianghu of the immemorial era, they would at most be surprised, but not so shocked. The problem was that they were in the transit islands.
Where did Xue Jianfeng’s golden core come from, and when did he break through to the Golden core stage? how could there be no movement at all?
After a while, Xue Jianfeng finally regained his mobility. It seemed like he had completely broken free from the ground imprisonment. His expression was extremely ugly as he immediately pounced towards Leng Leng with a ferocious expression.
Actually, it was no wonder that he was so embarrassed that he flew into a rage. This time, not only did he fail to take the opportunity to kill Leng Leng, but he was also forced to expose his golden core stage strength in public. To him, it was like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
“I admit defeat!” Leng Leng was already prepared for this. She immediately retreated from the arena and shouted.
According to the rules of the competition, as long as one of the two sides admitted defeat on the spot, then they were not allowed to attack again. However, Xue Jianfeng deliberately turned a deaf ear. He had not only exposed his strength of the early jiedan stage, but what made him even more angry was that he had been frostbitten by the cold painting prison. This was intolerable. Even if he had to break the rules, he must kill him with one sword!
Leng Leng was shocked to see this. The extreme version of drawing the ground as a prison had consumed too much of her physical strength and true Qi. She was completely helpless against the snow Sword’s Edge, which was like a mad beast at this moment.
However, before Xue Jianfeng could reach him, another figure was much faster than him. It was Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had already guessed that Xue Jianfeng wouldn’t give up so easily. With his Yuan spirit body’s strength, he didn’t have the confidence to cross realms and fight against a golden core stage master, but he still had a lot of magical methods. It was enough for him to deal with Xue Jianfeng.
“Detestable!” Xue Jianfeng was shocked by Lin Yi’s speed. If it wasn’t for the orders from above, he really wanted to kill both Lin Yi and Leng Leng with one stone!
“Still not stopping!” At this moment, Xin Yijie also stepped in. He looked at Xue Jianfeng with full vigilance as if he was facing a great enemy. If Xue Jianfeng was still only in the perfected Foundation Stage, he naturally wouldn’t need to be so nervous. However, he was facing an expert of the same level now, so he had to be careful. If Xue Jianfeng really decided to act rashly, even he, the martial uncle leading the team, might be in trouble.
“Hmph!” Only then did Xue Jianfeng finally stop. Xin Yijie was a strong opponent at the same level as him, not to mention that there was still Lin Yi, who was no less difficult to deal with than Xin Yijie. On top of that, there was also the cold ground as a prison. If he continued to force his way in, he was bound to suffer a huge loss. He had no choice but to stop.
However, Xin Yijie didn’t plan on letting him off so easily. He rebuked,””Lengleng has already admitted defeat, yet you still want to kill her. What are your intentions? Do you really think that the rules of the trial are just for show? are you trying to challenge the dignity of the entire ancient Alliance?”
“Hmph, Xin Yijie, don’t you dare put sh * t on me. My ears were injured by the frost, so I didn’t hear you.” Xue Jianfeng said nonchalantly. Now that he had shown his early Aurous core strength, there was no need to continue calling Xin Yijie martial uncle. As experts of the same level, he only needed to call him by his name. This was a common rule in the small Jianghu of the ancient times.
“Is that so?” Xin Yijie clearly didn’t believe him.
“If you don’t believe me, why don’t you come and have a taste of what it’s like to be imprisoned by her?” Xue Jianfeng coldly snorted and pouted. Although his words were just a random excuse, he was indeed frostbitten by the painted ground prison. Moreover, it was not an ordinary minor injury. If he did not take good care of it, there would be residual effects.
Of course, Xin Yijie didn’t believe his nonsense, but since Xue Jianfeng had already said so, he couldn’t persist any longer. He could only go along with the flow and say,”Since you didn’t hurt Leng Leng, I’ll turn a blind eye this time. You’re on your own.”
Xue Jianfeng snorted and turned away without any appreciation. His priority now was to find a place to heal, and it would be best if he could get some healing pills from the doctor. Unfortunately, things weren’t going well for him right now. Not only did he fail to kill Lin Yi’s people as planned, but he was injured by his own carelessness, and it was Leng Leng, a new foundation Stage cultivator. He really didn’t have the face to see the doctor.
Fortunately, he had won all three rounds and had qualified for the trial. It would not matter if he slowly recuperated from now on.
The matches continued, and while there were other prominent figures like Lin Yi in the later matches, they weren’t as exciting as the first one because of the opponents.
After all, Xue Jianfeng was an expert of the Golden core stage, while Leng Leng had almost succeeded in counterattacking by using the ground as a prison. This was a scene that had not appeared in the ancient Alliance for decades. Even if it was a little dull at the beginning, it was still a rare and classic showdown. In comparison, it was inevitable that the other duels of the great circle of the Foundation Stage would pale in comparison.
Including Lin Yi’s match, the other three matches of the peak Foundation Stage were all lukewarm. The one that was more interesting was Duanmu Yu’s match.
Duanmu Yu’s current record was one win and one loss after losing to Lin Yi in the last round, and this round was of the utmost importance. It would be great if he could win, but if he lost, he’d have to win both rounds in order to qualify for the test. Otherwise, he’d be eliminated.
Coincidentally, her opponent, Thunder Palace, also had one win and one loss. They were also determined to win this battle. If they were matched against Xue Jianfeng or Lin Yi, they might choose to admit defeat early since they were no match for either of them. They might as well save their energy for the next battle.
However, since she had drawn Duanmu Yu, it was completely different. Although Duanmu Yu was also one of the strongest disciples in the peak Foundation Stage, he was still incomparable to Xue Jianfeng and Lin Yi. The second round’s battle between her and Lin Yi was proof of that. (To be continued.) ”
