Chapter 428 Encountering the Yang Family Again, Easily Victorious
Chu Lengyu gently patted Senior Sister Zhao's hand to offer some comfort and calm her down a little.
"Senior Sister Zhao, my mind is made up." Her voice was soft but extremely firm. "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I know what I'm doing."
She understood Senior Sister Zhao's concerns, but she knew even better that if she didn't step forward now, it would be difficult to rally the morale of the Hundred Swords Pavilion.
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Zhao felt a mix of emotions.
She certainly believed in Chu Lengyu's talent and strength. However, she was only a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Could she really win against that cunning red-robed cultivator?
Senior Sister Zhao's heart was filled with contradictions and struggles.
At this moment, some disciples also chose to support her decision.
"Junior Sister Chu, we support you! You will definitely defeat that guy and bring glory to our Hundred Swords Pavilion!" a disciple shouted.
"Yes, Junior Sister Chu, we all know your strength. You will definitely defeat those who mock us!" another disciple chimed in, looking forward to the moment when Chu Lengyu would shine on the arena.
Her performance on Sword Island certainly won her a lot of popular support.
As she listened to these voices, a warm feeling welled up inside her, but she also kept a clear head.
Chu Lengyu nodded slightly to the disciples who supported her, then turned around and strode towards the registration area.
The surrounding chatter rose and fell like a tide, but gradually subsided in front of her, and all eyes involuntarily focused on her.
Those cultivators who had been mocking the Hundred Swords Pavilion now restrained their expressions and began to carefully examine the young female disciple.
Some of them curled their lip in disdain: "A girl in the early stage of Foundation Establishment dares to go up on stage and challenge? She's really overestimating herself."
However, some people, with amusement and amusement in their eyes, said, "Maybe she has some hidden tricks up her sleeve?"
They wanted to see how strong this young woman was, and also wanted her to test the abilities of the red-robed cultivator on the stage.
The people from the Hundred Swords Pavilion couldn't recognize his background, but some people in the audience did, so they were particularly wary of him and didn't want to provoke these "madmen".
Chu Lengyu ignored these voices in the slightest.
After registering, she returned to the Hundred Swords Pavilion's camp, found a quiet corner, closed her eyes to rest, and adjusted her state.
As time went on, the atmosphere of the arena battle became increasingly tense.
On Jingu Island, the place was bustling with activity. Cultivators gathered in small groups, discussing amongst themselves, and all eyes were focused on the twenty arenas.
Chu Lengyu's name has also been recorded on the challenge list for Arena 18, and she will be able to go on stage to challenge in a moment.
The time that is left in between is for the defender to recover their spiritual power and to clean and repair the arena.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Lengyu opened her eyes and stepped onto the arena.
Her gaze met the red-robed cultivator's directly, and she greeted him politely, "Chu Lengyu of the Hundred Swords Pavilion, please enlighten me."
Chu Lengyu's appearance undoubtedly brought a subtle change to the previously tense atmosphere. And the black rusty sword in her hand was particularly eye-catching.
The red-robed cultivator looked at the girl before him and arrogantly announced his family name: "Yang family, Yang Can."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Lengyu suddenly realized something.
She gave her name in exchange for information about the other person's background.
However, the Yang family? Could it be the Yang family from Skyfire Island?
These cultivators dressed in red, who are proficient in fire control, are they really survivors of the Yang family?
For some reason, they ended up on Jingu Island without any elders to look after them.
Although the Hundred Swords Pavilion elder was not present, Chu Lengyu knew that his divine sense had been watching this place the whole time. However, since it was currently a contest between the younger generation, the elders would tacitly agree not to interfere.
With Tianhuo Island destroyed and the Yang family losing the protection of Venerable Qianyan, the remaining members are likely in a bad situation and may be begging the Qianlan Sect or other sects for refuge.
In the brief moment that Chu Lengyu was distracted, the referee had already finished reading the rules.
Yang Can noticed her distraction and couldn't help but sneer inwardly: Getting distracted during the competition is a major taboo. A girl in the early stages of Foundation Establishment dares to challenge me on stage? She's really overestimating herself. I'll see what she's capable of, whether she can withstand three moves from me.
With the referee's whistle, the duel on stage number eighteen officially began.
The red-robed cultivator moved swiftly, transforming into a dazzling red light, and hurtled towards Chu Lengyu like an arrow released from a bow.
The flames flickered in his hands, and the intense heat emanated from him, clearly indicating that he intended to defeat his enemy with a single, swift strike using fire magic.
However, Chu Lengyu remained calm and composed in the face of the red-robed cultivator's fierce attack.
She stood still, and with a slight sway, skillfully dodged the red-robed monk's attack.
The red-robed cultivator's attack suddenly missed, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face.
He hadn't expected that this seemingly frail female cultivator would have such a swift reaction speed.
Just as the red-robed cultivator was in shock, Chu Lengyu did not give him any chance to catch his breath.
In the instant they brushed past each other, she raised her sword and aimed it directly at the red-robed cultivator's vital point in the back.
The red-robed cultivator was greatly alarmed and hurriedly circulated his spiritual power, switching from offense to defense in an attempt to withstand this sudden and fierce attack.
Then, taking advantage of the moment when his old strength had dissipated and his new strength had not yet arisen, Chu Lengyu used only the scabbard to force the red-robed cultivator to retreat repeatedly.
He staggered a few steps, his body swayed, and he fell off the stage, completely losing his right to continue fighting.
The moment the referee loudly announced "Chu Lengyu wins," the red-robed cultivator's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with resentment and astonishment, as if he couldn't believe he had lost so quickly.
Even after calming down, he still couldn't understand how he could have lost so easily.
Not only could he not understand it, but the onlookers below the stage also could not understand it.
This scene appears to be from the start of the competition, where he rushed towards Chu Lengyu first, only to be dodged by her, who then slapped him down with her sword sheath.
The red-robed monk practically delivered himself to their doorstep.
There were no fancy spells next year, not even a sword was drawn, but the red-robed cultivator still lost, and was eliminated in the uncontroversial way of falling off the stage.
