Chapter 854: Turn Defeat Into Victory

"Since the fellow Taoists from Nanyuezhou are so sincere, we, the cultivators from Tianxiacheng, can't be too disrespectful, right? But... I have a condition!"

"Say it!"

"You saw it too! The three previous battles were extremely fierce, and Ouyang Zhenghua's palm was cut off by you. I'm afraid I need to change one person, and the other two don't need to be changed... Of course, if you want to change people, it's also possible! Brother Yin, don't mind?"

"..."

Yin Jiansheng, pondered in silence.

Even some of the spectators accused Hou Jiying of being shameless. There were only three cultivators from Nanyuezhou in total, so how could he change people?

"Of course if you mind..."

"No mind! Fight!"

"Good! The three fellow Taoists from Nanyuezhou are indeed outstanding!"

Folding the folding fan in his hand, Hou Jiying cheered loudly.

Soon after, the martial arts academy selected another person, and stood with Wu Zhuang and the other two, waiting for the cultivators from Nanyuezhou to take the stage.

Soon, Yin Jiansheng and Kong Yuanren stood on the fighting field.

Only Jing Chu remained silent.

"Hey! Fellow Daoists from Nanyuezhou! Since we have signed the contract, let's not drag our feet, right? So many friends are watching us! Let's just..."

Just when Hou Jiying said this, another figure rushed onto the fighting field.

Everyone's eyes were already focused on the fighting field. When they saw someone on the stage, they naturally attracted everyone's attention. But soon, everyone started to talk about it.

Hou Jiying looked at the figure who appeared on the fighting field, and his face turned pale.

Just because the person on the stage was Xiao Mian!

"That's right! Master Hou is right! With so many friends watching, let's start the fight early. After that, Xiao has to go home and sleep!"

"Xiao... Xiao Mian! Why is it you!?"

"I was born in Nanyue Province, everyone knows it! Since Master Hou said that we can change people, it shouldn't be against the rules for Xiao to go on stage, right?"

"This..."

"Master Hou! If you want to come on stage to teach me something, Xiao will be waiting for you; otherwise, please shut up and don't disturb our fight!"

"..."

Hou Jiying, his eyes touched Xiao Mian's eyes, and he shuddered for no reason, and dared not say anything more.

At this time, the three people from Wuzhuang on the stage also had a bleak face.

These three people were originally outstanding cultivators in the martial arts academy. On weekdays, they also claimed to be invincible at the same level, but they were all defeated by Xiao Mian!

When Xiao Mian sat on the stage for three days, these three people had gone up...

Now seeing Xiao Mian suddenly go on stage, they were naturally scared.

But at this moment, Kong Yuanren suddenly left the ring.

Xiao Mian turned his head and looked at Yin Jiansheng again. Seeing that he shook his head firmly, Xiao Mian didn't say anything more.

"Brother Yuanren is not feeling well, so he won't participate in the fight! How about we fight two against three?"

It seemed to be a tone of negotiation, but during the words, the Star Magnetic Sword had already attacked, entangled Wu Zhuang and another casual cultivator in its own battle group, but missed the third person who replaced Ouyang Zhenghua - Chen Anji!

Before Chen Anji could be happy for a moment, Yin Jiansheng's Blood Killing Sword had already attacked.

Obviously, Yin Jiansheng wanted to fight him alone.

At first, Kong Yuanren's withdrawal gave Hou Jiying a chance to turn things around.

Wu Zhuang and the other two were both among the best players in the martial arts academy. They were no match for Xiao Mian in a one-on-one fight, but with two against one, there must be a chance, right?

At the beginning of the duel, the two did entangle Xiao Mian, but that was just entanglement - or, in fact, Xiao Mian entangled the two of them!

Looking at each other in shock, the two also cooperated tacitly.

The casual cultivator suddenly sent out a set of more than a hundred flying swords, trying to contain Xiao Mian, while Wu Zhuang was ready to besiege Yin Jiansheng with Chen Anji.

Yin Jiansheng had already been attacked by Ouyang Zhenghua's talisman. Even if he still had some strength left, he was at the end of his strength. As long as he could help Chen Anji defeat Yin Jiansheng in a short time, the three of them might be able to force Xiao Mian to a draw...

This was Wu Zhuang's plan.

Unfortunately, facing the hundreds of flying swords sent by the casual cultivator, Xiao Mian didn't even blink.

The sword light of the Xingci Sword suddenly turned into a dark cloud, swallowing up the entire set of flying swords.

Then there was a ding-dong sound, and in the chaotic sword light, fragments of flying swords kept falling...

A set of one hundred flying swords was destroyed by the Star Magnetic Sword!

Unable to help shaking his body, the casual cultivator swallowed a healing pill before wiping the blood stains from the corners of his lips.

However, no matter how good the pill was, it could not save his depressed face!

It was a pity that the set of flying swords was destroyed, but after all, they could be purchased again - Tianxia City was rich in supplies, so there was no need to worry.

What really shocked the casual cultivator was his injured mind!

When destroying the set of flying swords, Xiao Mian was merciless and severely damaged the hundreds of mind that the opponent used to control the set of flying swords.

It would take the man ten years to repair these mind!

The casual cultivator was considering whether to withdraw when he heard Wu Zhuang exclaim.

It was the Star Magnetic Sword again. After destroying the flying sword, it aimed at Wu Zhuang's flying sword.

To others, the Star Magnetic Sword only attacked once.

Only Wu Zhuang, who controlled the flying sword with his mind, knew that at that moment, the Star Magnetic Sword attacked no less than dozens of times, and all at the same position!

Wu Zhuang's face turned pale and he was terrified.

But when the Star Magnetic Sword attacked the flying sword, it also injured his mind.

Now there are only two options before Wu Zhuang: one, to take back his main mind; two, to fight against the Star Magnetic Sword with his main mind injured.

With a sudden shudder, Wu Zhuang chose the former.

With a click, his flying sword shattered!

In fact, if Wu Zhuang chose to live and die with the flying sword, it is still unclear whether Xiao Mian could break it. After all, Wu Zhuang's flying sword is also a mid-level magic weapon.

But Wu Zhuang was frightened by Xiao Mian, and there was a lesson from his companions.

One retreat is a defeat!

Xiao Mian shook his head-such a mentality, such a sword cultivation?

Sword cultivation should be like Jing Chu, the sword is there, the person is there, the sword is dead, the person is dead!

Xiao Mian had just established the victory, and Chen Anji, who was fighting with Yin Jiansheng, saw a gap and suddenly jumped off the fighting field, and chose to admit defeat.

This wisdom made Xiao Mian look at him with new eyes.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful he is, he can't stand alone.

A fight, in the end, is like a farce.

Standing on the fighting field, Xiao Mian pointed his sword at Hou Jiying.

"Mr. Hou! Shouldn't we settle the accounts properly?"

"This... this... Brother Xiao said that we should settle it as we want! Okay?"

"That's great! Last time, I lost two out of three games in Nanyuezhou, and I should pay you one million Zhongling. Now in this fourth game, the bet is doubled, you should lose six million Zhongling to me. All in all, you still owe me five million Zhongling, Mr. Hou, do you think it's right?"

"..., yes!"

Even Hou Jiying, a second-generation ancestor, was sweating coldly after hearing what Xiao Mian said.

Five million Zhongling!

He, Hou Jiying, can't take it out for a while!

The onlookers don't care about these!

While whispering, they talked about Xiao Mian and others' comeback.

After all the trips, he made a net profit of 5 million middle spirits. This speed is enviable!

"If Mr. Hou is short of money, don't worry! We live in Hujiazhai. I believe Mr. Hou knows the way, right?"

"I know! I know!"

"I also know your Hou family mansion! If Mr. Hou doesn't deliver 5 million middle spirits to my brother within three days, Xiao may have to come to your door..."

"Sure! Sure! Within three days! I will deliver it in person!"

"I believe you! I-wait for you!"

Xiao Mian suddenly put away the Star Magnetic Sword, walked down the arena, and without even looking at the other people on the scene, he led Jing Chu and the other two and left the Life and Death Pavilion.

The battle in the Life and Death Pavilion soon spread throughout Tianxia City.

Some people lamented that Hou Jiying was asking for trouble, some lamented that Nanyuezhou was in the limelight, and of course more people were still talking about that-Nanyue Xiao Mian!

Unexpectedly, after more than a month of silence, he was still as sharp as ever!

When they returned to Hujiazhai, Qingqiuzi was already waiting at the entrance of the village.

Qingqiuzi nodded to the four people and said nothing.

Qingqiuzi knew everything about the duel in the Life and Death Pavilion today. If Xiao Mian had not returned to Tianxia City in time, Jingchu and the other two would have lost money even if they had not been injured.

However, facing this unfriendly voice from Tianxia City, Qingqiuzi was powerless - could he go and argue with Hou Jiying?

The affairs of young people can only be left to the young people themselves.

Qingqiuzi had even made up his mind: if Xiao Mian had not returned in time this time, if the three people were injured, they would have to swallow their anger!

Fortunately, Xiao Mian was back after all!

Qingqiuzi welcomed the group into his own abode and took the pulses of Jingchu and the other three and treated their injuries one by one.

Kong Yuanren was the least injured. He had just exhausted his true essence. Qingqiuzi gave him a bottle of the best sixth-grade Huiyuan Pill.

Jing Chu seemed to be besieged by a sky full of talismans and thunder beads, but through practicing "Golden Curse" and "True Gold Nine Forging Techniques", not only did the power of the Wushang Sword increase sharply, but Jing Chu's own physical strength also rose. This is why Xiao Mian dared to let Jing Chu take risks and deliberately be besieged by talismans to lure Hou Jiying into the trap...

Qing Qiuzi seemed to know that Jing Chu was practicing "Golden Curse" and rewarded Jing Chu with a sixth-level gold spiritual material.

The most seriously injured among the three was Yin Jiansheng.

He exchanged his own injury for Ouyang Zhenghua's negligence, and then cut off his palm in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for victory; in the subsequent battle with Chen Anji, Yin Jiansheng also fought with all his strength. After all, Chen Anji was also a leader of the younger generation in the martial arts academy.

In two rounds of fierce battles, Yin Jiansheng can be said to have done his best.

If he hadn't inherited the ruthlessness from the Blood Evil Sword Ape, he would have fainted on the way back to Hujiazhai.

Qingqiuzi frowned and glared at Yin Jiansheng with some displeasure.

With Xiao Mian in charge, Yin Jiansheng could have pushed the enemy to Xiao Mian as long as he wanted. Obviously, Yin Jiansheng didn't do that!

However, Qingqiuzi didn't blame Yin Jiansheng. This is Yin Jiansheng's swordsmanship!

Everyone has their own way, and no one can choose for others...
