Chapter 78

"Jing Yan, we're in big trouble!"

"Yes, I thought that in this Jing Family competition, Jing Yan would definitely win first place. I didn't expect a half-step Xiantian Jing Shuhe to emerge. Jing Yan will likely be defeated here and won't even make it to the finals!"

"..."

The onlookers, who were not averse to the drama, became even more excited as the battle intensified.

Before Jing Shuhe revealed himself as a half-step Xiantian, most people thought Jing Yan could easily defeat him. But now, their stance changed immediately.

It's not their fault!

Everyone knows the terror of a half-step Xiantian martial artist.

The faces of the Zhao Family's Fourth Elder and others also showed slight changes.

The Jing Family has actually produced another half-step Xiantian martial artist. This Jing Shuhe must be watched closely. Because, at any moment, Jing Shuhe, who is currently at the half-step Xiantian realm, might advance to the Xiantian realm.

For the three major families of Donglin City, the emergence of another Xiantian realm powerhouse in any family would have a significant impact on the overall situation.

The number of Xiantian realm martial artists within the three major families is limited. Each additional Xiantian realm martial artist greatly enhances the family's overall strength.

"The Jing Family truly has a wealth of talent!"

"Indeed, with geniuses like Jing Tianlong and Jing Ziqi, and now Jing Shuhe. Also, although Jing Yan's realm once fell, it won't take long for him to return to the Xiantian realm!"

In the VIP seats, the discussions never ceased.

"Haha, it looks like it won't take long for the Jing Family to surpass the Lin Family!" Zhao Zhen Shan, the Fourth Elder of the Zhao Family, laughed and said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shun Yue, the Grand Elder of the Lin Family who attended the Jing Family competition, his face tightened. He glared at Zhao Zhen Shan coldly but said nothing.

In Donglin City, the Zhao Family is the undisputed first, and the Lin Family, as one of the old three major families, has a deep foundation. The Jing Family, however, only rose to prominence in the past few decades. Generally, the martial artists of Donglin City believe the Jing Family can only rank third.

However, the Jing Family's rise seems to have exceeded many people's expectations. At this rate, it won't take long for the Jing Family to surpass the Lin Family.

Although the Jing Family and the Lin Family are allies, the Lin Family fundamentally does not want to see the Jing Family surpass them.

If Lin Shun Yue could be happy at this moment, it would be strange.

Lin Shun Yue also knew that Zhao Zhen Shan's words were meant to sow discord. But he couldn't let it go! Thinking about the geniuses of the Jing Family, Lin Shun Yue felt that upon returning to the family, he needed to request a meeting to discuss the matter.

"Boom!"

On the stage, Jing Yan and Jing Shuhe's figures moved simultaneously.

Terrifying yuan qi burst out from their bodies, exploding outward. Especially Jing Shuhe's yuan qi, the faint white mist was clearly visible to the naked eye.

All the onlookers were extremely excited.

Because, the number of half-step Xiantian martial artists is even rarer than Xiantian realm martial artists.

How many of the Jing Family's young members here have had the opportunity to see a battle between half-step Xiantian powerhouses?

Moreover, this battle is between a Ninth Heaven Realm powerhouse like Jing Yan and a half-step Xiantian.

"Rumble!"

In front of Jing Shuhe, silver sword light condensed, with sword beams inside, exuding a formidable aura.

"Long River Destruction Sword!" Jing Shuhe called out softly.

This sword technique is also a high-grade martial art.

When executed by Jing Shuhe, its power far surpasses that of high-grade martial arts performed by the likes of Zhao Dengtian.

With just a slight movement, Jing Yan could sense that Jing Shuhe had a deep understanding of this high-grade martial art.

The silver sword light, like a silver river, rolled toward Jing Yan with overwhelming force.

Around the sword light, one could see the small sword beams wildly stirring the air, forming palm-sized vortices, which were incredibly terrifying.

It was clear that Jing Shuhe had no intention of probing.

From the start, he used nearly full strength.

In his view, Jing Yan was no match for him. So, he didn't bother to probe and directly aimed to defeat Jing Yan.

Jing Yan's face remained expressionless, heavy with concentration.

He clearly felt the overwhelming pressure. Since his realm fell, this was the strongest opponent Jing Yan had faced.

Even Li Tianfu, compared to Jing Shuhe, was far inferior.

"Three Stacked Waves of the Moon!" Jing Yan didn't dare to be overconfident and directly used the mid-grade martial art, Three Stacked Waves of the Moon.

Although Three Stacked Waves of the Moon is only a mid-grade martial art, after Jing Yan fixed its flaws, its power slightly exceeded that of ordinary high-grade martial arts.

Black sword light instantly condensed into three layers of sword barriers.

The silver river collided violently with the black sword barriers.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two martial arts clashed fiercely in the air above the stage.

"Jing Shuhe's yuan qi is incredibly thick and forms mist. In terms of quantity, I am not inferior to him, and I even slightly surpass him. However, his mist-forming yuan qi is more condensed and refined, giving it a qualitative advantage."

"But, his martial art has a fatal flaw." Jing Yan's eyes flickered.

If the Long River Destruction Sword had no flaws, Jing Yan's Three Stacked Waves of the Moon would not be able to withstand it. Unfortunately, there are no such "ifs."

Under the guidance of the First Divine Technique of the Heavens, after a few exchanges, Jing Yan discovered the flaws in the Long River Destruction Sword and exploited these weaknesses to dismantle the silver river sword light from the inside.

"What?"

For the first time, Jing Shuhe showed a hint of panic.

No one understood his current situation better than he did, and no one knew better than he did that Jing Yan's martial art had penetrated his Long River Destruction Sword.

"How is this possible?" Jing Shuhe couldn't understand why this was happening; he didn't know how Jing Yan managed to do it.

Even if Jing Yan had practiced a high-grade martial art, it shouldn't be like this. In fact, Jing Yan was clearly using the mid-grade martial art, Three Stacked Waves of the Moon.

He should have had the advantage, but in reality, after a few exchanges, he was at a disadvantage.

So far, the ordinary members of the Lu Family hadn't realized this. However, the Xiantian realm powerhouses on the high platform could see the subtle changes.

Many people, including those in the VIP seats, were moved.

Could it be that this Jing Yan is not even a match for the half-step Xiantian Jing Shuhe?
