“Is it that powerful?”

Daoist Master Cloud Sect sounded a little upset.

“It’s not just powerful,” the Shenluo Hall Master said with a meaningful analogy. “Let’s put it this way, to be able to self-study formations to this extent is no different from relying on oneself to comprehend the fifth layer of the Cloud Sword Scripture.”

Hearing the Shenluo Hall Master mention the Cloud Sword Technique, Master Tan Yun felt even more sour.

If it weren’t for the fact that they had Yan Changfeng, who was even more outstanding, he would have exploded.

The key was that Cheng Xu’s talent in swordsmanship wasn’t the only thing that was shocking. His talent in other aspects seemed to be heaven-defying.

There was no need to talk about his alchemy talent, but even his Array Formation talent was so heaven-defying?

Such an all-rounded talent was actually expelled from the sect by his subordinates and even picked up by his friends. No one would feel good about it.

“Fellow Daoist Chi Yao, why don’t you let this child come to our Shenluo Hall? The conditions are negotiable.” Shenluo Hall Master looked at Perfected Chi Yao with a serious expression. It was obvious that they weren’t joking.

“Do fellow Daoist think it’s possible?” Chi Yao Zhenren rolled his eyes.

“With this child’s talent in formations, it would be a pity if he didn’t come to the Shenluo Hall.”

“Little Cheng’s talent in alchemy is the best. It’s better for him to stay in our Medicine Celestial Valley.” Perfected Chi Yao curled his lips.

Seeing that the Shenluo Hall Master didn’t hesitate to poach him, Huyan Lie couldn’t help but tease, “Why don’t we let him come to our Scorching Sun Sect to try? Let’s see how talented he is in refining artifacts.”

Originally, Huyan Lie had only said it casually and teased him.

Chi Yao Zhenren said seriously, “I remember that besides working on formations, Little Cheng was also working on some things related to artifact crafting.”

“…!” Huyan Lie was stunned, “What do you mean? This child really knows how to refine artifacts?”

“I definitely know a little. As for the exact level, I’m not too sure.” Daoist Chi Yao says smilingly.

Hearing this, the sect leaders looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect could not help but ask, “Don’t tell me it’s also related to talisman arts?”

“I didn’t pay much attention to this, but I did see some talisman papers in his cave.”

As they spoke, the battle on the stage once again attracted everyone’s attention.

Although Xue Lingyu was also shocked by Cheng Xu’s godlike array operation, it wasn’t difficult for her to deal with it.

Seeing that she was enveloped in the range of the Black Ice Array, Xue Lingyu immediately cast the Earth Shrinking Talisman and teleported outside the array. The talisman around her floated and summoned a blue sword of light that descended from the sky. It carried a terrifying aura and bombarded the light layer of the array.

Boom!

Under the impact of the blue light sword, the Black Ice Array and the Storm Array shattered one after another and continued to smash towards Cheng Xu.

Cheng Xu didn’t dare to be careless. At the same time he raised his Protective Upstanding Qi, his body was surrounded by Red and White Flames. As the dual-colored flames surged, they condensed into a gorgeous flame coat outside his body.

It was one of the fire-type spells he had learned before the Martial Arts Competition, [Flaming Magnificent Robe].

Unlike the Nine Layered Flame Wave, the Flaming Magnificent Robe was a defensive spell with extremely strong defensive effects. Especially when used with the Red Flame and White Flame, its defensive ability was even more shocking.

Bang!

Xue Lingyu’s blue light easily broke through the Protective Upstanding Qi, but it was blocked by Huo Huayi.

The Red and White Flames quickly spread to the blue sword of light, burning and dissipating it in the blink of an eye.

“He still held back?” Xue Lingyu was shocked.

It wasn’t just him. All the contestants below the stage were shocked.

She thought that Huyan Zan had forced Cheng Xu to reveal all his trump cards, but he didn’t expect Cheng Xu to still have a trump card up his sleeve.

In other words, Cheng Xu didn’t use his full strength when he defeated Huyan Zan.

“My God, how many more things is this guy hiding?”

“Why do 1 feel like he has the ability to fight Yan Changfeng?”

“That’s not necessary. Yan Changfeng is a unique existence.”

“Although he can’t compare to Yan Changfeng, he’s still very powerful.”

Unlike the other players, Liu Qiao was still immersed in the shock of the double formation, unable to calm down for a long time.

He had thought that he had already developed the potential of the Array Disk to the extreme. He did not expect that there was an existence that was even more powerful than him.

What was even more unbelievable was that Cheng Xu’s speed of setting up the array seemed to be much faster than his.

On the stage, the battle continued.

After the blue light sword was blocked by Cheng Xu, Xue Lingyu continued to attack, bombarding Cheng Xu with all kinds of powerful talisman moves.

Although Cheng Xu could easily block it with the Flame Magnificent Robe, the Flame Magnificent Robe consumed a lot of primeval essence. He couldn’t drag it out for too long. He had to hurry up and end the battle.

As a result, amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Cheng Xu once again used the Array Disk to set up two array formations.

Under the dual effects of the Armor Removal Array and the Spirit Absorption Array, Xue Lingyu was significantly weakened.

Just as Xue Lingyu was about to use the Earth Shrinking Talisman to get out of the array’s range, she was interrupted by a “Qi” word that rose above Cheng Xu’s head.

“Damn it!”

Xue Lingyu hurriedly stabilized her aura, and the floating talismans around her quickly turned into a series of yellow talisman papers to protect her body.

At the same time, Cheng Xu’s Nine Layer Flame Wave had already attacked.

Boom!

The Nine Layered Flame Waves came wave after wave, and their power increased layer by layer.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Xue Lingyu, who had clearly been struck down by the Nine Layered Flame Wave, had strangely turned into a pile of talisman paper ashes.

Before Cheng Xu could react to what was going on, a chill came from behind him.

Bang!

A flying sword wrapped in layers of talismans sent Cheng Xu flying. Even though he was protected by the Flame Magnificent Robe and the Spirit-infused Inner Armor, it still made Cheng Xu feel as if his blood was boiling.

Looking back, Xue Lingyu’s figure had already appeared on the flying sword.

“I originally prepared a move for Brother Yan, but in the end, I used it on Brother Cheng.” Xue Lingyu laughed self-deprecatingly. “Brother Cheng’s strength is astonishing. I’m completely convinced.”

“What do you mean? Not fighting anymore?” Cheng Xu was also stunned.

Xue Lingyu shook her head bitterly. “Just now, that sword has already been my strongest strike, the first strike.”

After she finished speaking, she sighed and returned to her seat at the Mystic Arts Sect.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, she was indeed no match for Cheng Xu. She could even vaguely feel that Cheng Xu still had a trump card that he had not used.

Following Xue Lingyu’s defeat, people gradually realized that Cheng Xu’s strength was stronger than they had expected.

Perhaps he really had the ability to compete with Yan Changfeng.

In the spectator stands, the Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect could only sigh regretfully, while Dan Yang and Chi Yao were overjoyed.

It couldn’t be helped. Cheng Xu’s series of performances could be said to have helped the Medicine Celestial Valley gain the limelight.

Especially the envious looks from the leaders of the various sects, it made the two of them feel even more pleased.

“The Medicine Celestial Valley has really picked up a treasure!” The Shenluo Hall could not help but sigh with envy.

In contrast, the expressions of the people from the Cloud Sect were somewhat complicated.

“After the competition ends, the sect needs to be properly reorganized.” Fu Yunzi looked at Daoist Master Tan Yun coldly.

“Please rest assured, Little Uncle-Master.”

Daoist Master Tan Yun gritted his teeth and nodded. He was obviously holding back his anger.

If Cheng Xu represented the Cloud Sect today, wouldn’t the Cloud Sect be in the limelight?

As he spoke, Fu Yunzi’s expression changed slightly. His cold eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the horizon.

When the leaders of the various sects saw this, they subconsciously looked over, and their expressions instantly darkened.

Soon, a few sinister laughs came from the horizon.

“Hahaha, what a good Demon Suppression Martial Competition.. i wonder if it can suppress us!”
