The Immortal Taoist Chapter 34

Chapter 34 - Malicious Arrangements by Elders

"I've lost?"

Lu Hong was simply unable to accept the fact that, as the fifth senior brother of the outer sect disciples, he was actually defeated by a disciple who had just joined the sect. He had even made preparations to be promoted to the top three, but he was defeated just like that?

If it were not for the fact that the sword was not even three feet away from his face, he might have thought that he was having a nightmare. If a n.o.body like him was able to easily defeat him, then wouldn't he be utterly humiliated?

Ling Dao kept his sword and without looking at Lu Hong, he walked straight down. His sword had already left its sheath and revealed its sharpness. Naturally, he had already made his preparations to face all the outer court disciples. It was just a single Lu Hong, and was merely a stepping stone towards first place.

"We made a mistake, we really made a mistake this time!" I originally thought that it was already a great fortune for him to be able to enter the top 100. However, it seems like he did not display his full strength earlier! "

"It's more than not showing off his strength. He's obviously pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, acting out a good show. If we had known earlier that he was so powerful, how could we have arranged things like this? "

The words in the elder's heart didn't come out. If he had known earlier that Ling Dao had the strength to be ranked in the top five, he would have arranged for either Xia Xinyao or Xia Xinyao to deal with him. They did not wish for Ling Dao to be in the top ten, because then Ling Dao would attract the attention of the vice sect master.

They had been suppressing Jiang Ren's bloodline the entire time. If Ling Dao grew up, he would absolutely be enemies with them. They naturally did not want to see Ling Dao become stronger. Fortunately, they had not decided on the top ten, and in the next round, they wanted Ling Dao to lose!

"I didn't expect this kid to be so well-hidden that he even tricked me. If I knew he was so strong, I wouldn't have needed to worry so much. This brat actually didn't tell me and will definitely be punished to drink a few cups of wine later on! "

The stronger Ling Dao was, the greater his achievements would be, and the happier he would be. Originally, he had only let Ling Dao train for a bit. He didn't expect Ling Dao to not only enter the top hundred, but also the top ten now.

After the two battles, the original top hundred had been reduced to twenty-five. Apart from one lucky contestant, the other twenty-four would be competing in the next match. He was getting closer and closer to becoming one of the top ten.

"Xie Linger against Tang Xiaoman!"

The elder had just finished speaking when the crowd burst into an uproar. It seemed like the new dark horse had already begun to fight with the veteran powerhouses. Xie Linger was the dark horse that had appeared in the selection compet.i.tion, and Tang Xiaoman was the sixth sister that was ranked sixth among the outer sect disciples. The battle between the two girls naturally attracted more disciples to watch.

"Senior Sister, sorry for offending you!"

Xie Linger said while grinning. She looked like an elf and was extremely mischievous. Tang Xiaoman, on the other hand, was different. Her gentle personality made her seem like the little sister next door. Their looks were all pretty good, and some lecherous outer court disciples stared straight at them.

"Junior Sister, go ahead and attack. I will take on her attack!"

Just as Tang Xiaoman finished speaking, Xie Linger fiercely struck out with his sword. A silver light flashed and Xie Linger's sword was aimed straight at Tang Xiaoman's neck. However, since Tang Xiaoman was able to become the Sixth Senior Sister, she was naturally stronger than all of Xie Linger's previous opponents.

At the most critical moment, Tang Xiaoman's sword had blocked Xie Linger's sword, and her sword blade slid down the edge of the sword in Xie Linger's hand, as if they were stuck together. Xie Linger wanted to retract her sword, but unfortunately, he did not succeed.

"Senior Sister, you lost!"

Just as Tang Xiaoman was about to counterattack, she heard Xie Linger's voice. Tang Xiaoman's eyes stared wide, she did not expect that Xie Linger had such a move up her sleeve. On her neck, a small sword appeared. Xie Linger held the small sword in her left hand, the tip of the sword less than a foot away from Tang Xiaoman's neck.

"I didn't think that Junior Sister would actually hold back. It's no shame that I lost. Next time, I'll ask for your advice!"

Tang Xiaoman was extremely open-minded. A loss was a loss. Even if she wanted to renege, it was impossible.

"Senior Sister, thank you!"

Xie Linger's face bloomed with an innocent smile, it was impossible to tell how she looked like before. Xie Linger's side had the fastest battle, so she was naturally the first to level up.

"Xia Xinyao against Zhang Lin!"

The first time Ling Dao had met him, he was extremely shocked. Because the eldest senior sister of the several tens of thousands of outer court disciples, Xia Xinyao, was actually only a fourteen year old girl. In terms of age, Xia Xinyao was younger than Ling Dao.

"What bad luck, I didn't expect that I would actually be merciful towards big senior sister Chu, I hope that big senior sister will show mercy!"

Zhang Lin cupped his fists, then waved his sword and attacked Xia Xinyao. Xia Xinyao smiled and nodded. As the eldest senior sister, no one dared to underestimate her. Her sword was not unsheathed. Zhang Lin did not have the qualifications to unsheathe her sword.

"Work hard. Your strength is far from enough!"

In just one collision, Xia Xinyao had sent the sword in Zhang Lin's hand flying, but she did not harm Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin let out a bitter laugh and stepped back. It was not shameful to lose to his eldest senior sister at all.

Following that, Wei Jingshan, Zhong Zhenhai, Li Shengxiong and the others also made their moves. They were all extremely strong and quickly finished off their opponents. As the battles ended, there were only two people who had yet to fight.

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" They clearly did not want Ling Dao to enter the top ten, but they actually arranged for him to be their opponent! "

The veins on Jiang Ren's forehead jumped, as if he was extremely angry. Teng Shaofeng had always been the eldest senior brother, and it was only after he had been defeated by Xia Xinyao that he became the second senior brother. However, Teng Shaofeng's strength was absolutely frightening. It was rumored that Teng Shaofeng did not lose even after a huge battle with a true qi realm Ranker a few months ago.

"Humph, you still want that brat to enter the top ten? Stop dreaming!" With Teng Shaofeng making his move, he will not have the slightest chance! "

An elder looked at Jiang Ren and mocked. They purposely wanted to kick Ling Dao out, so long as they didn't want Ling Dao to enter the top ten, it was something that they could do. The only thing that they were wary of was the Vice Sect Leader. Fortunately, the Vice Sect Leader did not object.

"Next match, Teng Shaofeng against Ling Dao!"

Teng Shaofeng sneered, then stood up from his seat and walked up the stage. Ling Dao's gaze was calm, his expression did not change at all, and the others' thoughts did not matter, all he had to do was defeat Teng Shaofeng.

"Originally, you are not qualified to fight against me. However, since this is the arrangement of the elders, I can only take out my sword and defeat you!"

Teng Shaofeng's expression was cold, even though Ling Dao had defeated him, he did not put Ling Dao in his eyes at all!
