Li Mo, upon hearing the words, cast a grateful look at Wang Ye. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

If he could defeat the two of them, the status of Lion Peak would rise again.

Even if he lost, it wouldn’t be disgraceful.

However, when Zhu Di and Hui Xing heard this, they were unhappy. The Sect Master underestimated them too much.

He actually wanted the two of them to deal with one person.

But the words of the Sect Master were not something they dared to disobey, so they quickly began to circulate their cultivation techniques and made their move.

Only that both of them didn’t intend to use their full strength initially.

At this moment, many cultivators under the stage were already in an uproar.

They began to discuss the three people’s history.

"It’s said that this Hui Xing is a really good person who has done many good deeds."

"Isn’t that so? I know of one. He once went to a village to eliminate a demon and saved all the villagers."

"Yes, in a very poor place, there was a child who couldn’t even afford clothes, and Hui Xing took off his own Kasaya and gave it to that child."

"Although Hui Xing is on Buddha Peak, he also has a dual cultivation partner. It’s said he’s very devoted to his female cultivator, and the only one he has dual cultivated with in this thousand years is Yang Meng."

"He’s not just a good person but also very inspiring. It’s said that he had no talent when he was young and couldn’t cultivate, yet he defied the heavens and became a master."

The disciples of Buddha Peak started discussing eagerly.

They genuinely hoped that Hui Xing would win this competition.

But the disciples of Evergreen Peak discussed Zhu Di.

"Ah, our Sect Master is really too unfair. Clearly, Zhu Di’s strength is stronger than Crow’s, but Li Changchun insisted on letting Crow participate in the competition. Now look, the match was lost."

"Isn’t it? Our Evergreen Peak is so dark. This time, we lost in the first battle and will surely be looked down upon by the disciples of the other Six Peaks. How embarrassing."

"I hope Zhu Di can win this match. If he wins, and the Sect Master knows Zhu Di is a disciple of Evergreen Peak, the Sect Master will definitely do something to change the darkness of our Evergreen Peak."

Many cultivators looked at Zhu Di with a sigh, their eyes full of sympathy.

They also hoped Zhu Di could win.

But the disciples of Lion Peak felt that although Li Mo was a bit arrogant, his strength was apparent.

"Don’t you see that Li Mo gets up at four in the morning to cultivate?"

"Heaven rewards diligence. Li Mo and Li Dao are the most diligent in our Lion Peak. If Li Mo loses, it can only mean that laziness is rewarded by the Heavenly Dao."

"Isn’t that so? I heard that the disciples of Buddha Peak spend all day drinking tea and talking, not cultivating at all."

"Yes, Hui Xing spends all day with that female cultivator, enjoying life without focusing on cultivation, so on what grounds can he win? And our Li Mo is different. He does only one thing every day, and that is cultivation."

Even Shi Xinran felt that if Li Mo didn’t win this match, it would be an injustice of the Heavenly Dao.

Amidst the discussions.

Hui Xing initiated the attack first, while Zhu Di stood silently at the edge of the ring.

He didn’t like to bully the few with the many; he wanted Hui Xing to be defeated before making a move.

Seeing Zhu Di standing aside, Hui Xing also smiled and nodded respectfully to Zhu Di.

"Thank you."

However, if he knew what Zhu Di was thinking, he wouldn’t be smiling.

This time, Hui Xing was determined to defeat Li Mo.

He hadn’t even considered the word "lose."

"Buddha’s Light Palm."

Hui Xing channeled his spiritual energy, and seven-colored Buddha light appeared around his body.

He clasped his hands together, with surging energy fluctuating in front of his chest.

His blood-red robe fluttered violently.

Then he struck with his palm.

A golden palm, carrying immense energy, struck heavily toward Li Mo.

"Chaos Chessboard Formation."

Li Mo saw this and showed no mercy.

He launched his attack directly.

As his voice fell, a chess formation appeared on the stage.

Energy lines formed into chess lines that directly encircled Hui Xing in the chessboard.

And that Buddha’s Light Palm vanished into thin air within the board.

Seeing this, Hui Xing frowned. He looked around and saw chess lines on all sides, with vast energy fluctuating around him, making him feel dizzy.

Li Mo, however, remained calm, as everything was within his expectations.

Once anyone was trapped in the Chaos Chessboard Formation, they would feel dizzy.

And in his chess formation, the opponent’s attack energy, defense, and speed would be significantly weakened.

While his own speed and attack power would be greatly enhanced.

And this was also the best time to strike.

He flicked his fingers, and a white chess piece shot toward Hui Xing’s back.

"Attack."

In an instant.

The white energy piece appeared behind Hui Xing.

Feeling the immense energy attack coming from behind, Hui Xing wanted to move, but the dizziness in his mind prevented him from doing so.

Bang!

The white energy piece struck heavily on Hui Xing’s back.

Instantly, Hui Xing coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew straight out of the chessboard.

The crowd was in shock at this scene!

"Damn, is this the strength of Lion Peak? It’s too powerful! Hui Xing was knocked out in less than one move."

"No wonder Li Mo dares to be so arrogant; he has the skills to back it up."

"You think he’s arrogant, but to him, he thinks he’s being humble."

"The disciples of Buddha Peak are too weak, knocked out of the ring in less than three seconds."

"Heh, with this level of strength, pretending to be a hero and doing good deeds is simply laughable."

The crowd’s eyes were filled with both admiration and amazement at Hui Xing.

And also contempt and ridicule.

Tang Xuan’s face turned livid at this sight, wanting to find a hole to disappear into.

He coldly glanced at Hui Xing lying on the ground, then shifted his gaze to Li Mo.

This Li Mo’s strength was very strong.

The strength of Lion Peak’s disciples had progressed too quickly.

In the future, Lion Peak would have to be studied.

"No wonder Dongfang Qing chose Li Mo to fight; this unknown Li Mo has such skills."

"Indeed, there is a reason why the Peak Master can be the Peak Master."

"Heaven rewards diligence, indeed."

The disciples of Lion Peak were overjoyed.

Their faces beamed with smiles as bright as sunflowers.

"Damn, is Lion Peak really this powerful?"

The disciples of Ruthless Peak looked dejected.

They wondered if the power of the White Snow Red Maple Sword Formation was stronger, or was the Chaos Chessboard Formation more formidable.

"Winning the championship today seems a bit difficult."

Carefree Master’s face looked troubled.

That White Snow Red Maple Sword was already impressive, and even Chen Changsheng could only barely win.

Now Lion Peak produced a monstrous Li Mo.

"I’ve never heard of this Li Mo before, how is he so strong? This Chaos Chessboard Formation is too fierce."

Chen Changsheng’s eyes were full of shock.

Li Changchun had a sullen face at the moment, and although the other peaks’ disciples hadn’t taken spirit pills or miraculous herbs, their strength still improved so rapidly.

He turned back to look at the disciples of Evergreen Peak and sighed.

Then he looked at Zhu Di standing at the edge of the ring.

"If Zhu Di defeats Li Mo, it could save face for our Evergreen Peak."

At this moment, Zhu Di, like a dragonfly, hovered on the edge of the stage, and seeing Hui Xing’s defeat, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

This Hui Xing was so weak, yet he dared to represent Buddha Peak in battle?

Hui Xing, at this moment, was filled with shame and rage.

He walked off towards the match field boundary with his tail between his legs, like a defeated dog, looking extremely battered.

He stopped at the edge and turned back to watch the match.

"It’s not that my strength is too low; it’s that this Li Mo is too strong."

"Zhu Di, don’t laugh at me. You’ll lose just as badly as I did."

Hui Xing, from the bottom of his heart, hoped Zhu Di would lose so he could retain some dignity.

"I am not Hui Xing."

Zhu Di laughed coldly, then charged towards Li Mo along the edge of the stage.
