Chapter 2273 - 2276: Li Tianxuan's Crushing Defeat! (Third Update)

When many people's gazes turned to the ten Inner Sect Disciples, the eight present Inner Sect Disciples looked rather embarrassed.

The finals of the Spring Martial Arts Competition had not yet concluded, but they already felt immense pressure.

Everyone knew well that this Qin Tian would surely challenge the status of the ten Inner Sect Disciples in the future.

Not only the disciples, but the elders on the Elder's seat were also eyeing Wang Tianqing besides Qin Tian.

"Elder Wang, you truly have a discerning eye to have chosen Qin Tian."

"Indeed, remember how no one was willing to select Qin Tian initially, and some even doubted the origin of his Silver Token. Now, it seems Qin Tian's strength may have shaken the entire Xuanyuan Immortal Sect."

"Haha, the disciple you've nurtured truly befits the title of Chief Elder."

Several elders began flattering Wang Tianqing with such words.

Not surprisingly, two of the elders were already in cahoots with Wang Tianqing.

However, the other four elders, who had previously maintained neutrality, abruptly started flattering Wang Tianqing, which greatly surprised and delighted Wang Tianqing.

If Qin Tian could become one of the ten Inner Sect Disciples, he would qualify to represent Xuanyuan Immortal Sect in various gatherings, competitions, and treasure hunts.

This was an unparalleled honor and symbol of status, and as Qin Tian's master, Wang Tianqing would naturally receive even more attention from the Sect Leader and the entire Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

So, perhaps these elders spotted Qin Tian's boundless potential and came to congratulate Wang Tianqing ahead of time.

Wang Tianqing hadn't received such flattery from the elders in a long time, nor had he felt so proud and elated as he did today. Because of Qin Tian, after more than a decade, he once again became a focal point among the elders.

Some are joyful, others worried.

Especially when Wang Tianqing was chatting and laughing with some elders in front of Mo Ziyang, Mo Ziyang's face turned livid.

Previously, when he watched Qin Tian compete, he had immediately seen Qin Tian concealing his strength and was worried. Thus, he sent Ye Shuang and Hou Sailei to continuously harass Qin Tian.

Not necessarily to defeat Qin Tian, but at least to get him to reveal his true Kung Fu sooner.

Unfortunately, Qin Tian deflected them all.

The direct consequence of this was that the matter Mo Ziyang feared materialized when Qin Tian showcased his real prowess.

If Storm Technique reached Great Success, Li Tianxuan could still block it.

But at the Peak of Storm Technique, Li Tianxuan was at a loss.

Indeed, in the small Blessed Land within the Martial Arts Arena, faced with Qin Tian's increasingly formidable Storm True Qi, Li Tianxuan exhibited all kinds of Fist Techniques and Palming Skills, even employing his top-notch Sky Dominating Sword Technique.

However, facing the Peak Storm True Qi, he was unable to breakthrough, feeling powerless despite having a cultivation level two tiers higher than Qin Tian!

Rumble!

After Storm True Qi circled the small Blessed Land once, its diameter reached ten kilometers!

This colossal force, after resisting Li Tianxuan's sword moves, engulfed him instantly!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Within the Storm True Qi, Li Tianxuan continued to resist stubbornly.

It must be said, reaching the Peak of the Ascension Stage, his strength was indeed extraordinary.

Even when consumed by Peak Storm True Qi, he could still fight back against it, using Sword Qi to ward off serious injury!

This resistance astonishingly persisted for over ten minutes!

Had Qin Tian's Red Sword not unleashed over a dozen Sword Qi outside the Storm True Qi to overwhelm Li Tianxuan, he might have escaped.

Rumble!

After Qin Tian thwarted Li Tianxuan's defense, Li Tianxuan's body was battered and crushed by the Storm True Qi!

Then, he fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After one strike, Qin Tian, drenched in sweat, dissipated the Storm True Qi before rapidly descending, launching a ferocious attack on Li Tianxuan with his Red Sword!

Li Tianxuan's face was now ashen, severely wounded!

Yet, seeing Qin Tian's aggressive advance, he still fought back with all he had!

"No! I won't lose! I won't lose to you!"

He roared, his Sword Qi intertwining with Qin Tian's Sword Qi!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The clashing Sword Qi in mid-air shot out waves, causing explosions on the ground!

Spurt!

After a dozen moves, with his True Qi exhausted, Li Tianxuan was pierced by Qin Tian's sword!

Everyone gaped in shock!

If the martial regulations hadn't prohibited killing, Qin Tian could have slain Li Tianxuan on the spot!

But his sword struck Li Tianxuan's rib, causing him to kneel instantly!

"Spurt!"

Blood spewed from his mouth, instantly dissipating his previous pride and arrogance!

In this Spring Martial Arts Competition, he had smoothly advanced, thinking the championship was within reach, never expecting to face Qin Tian in the finals!

To be overwhelmingly suppressed and defeated by Qin Tian in the True Qi Storm!

Clearly, his cultivation was higher! His True Qi stronger!

"No, no... It's impossible... Qin Tian, my cultivation is two tiers higher than yours; you can't possibly defeat me across two tiers! It's absolutely impossible!"

Spurt!

In the throes of his roar, Li Tianxuan pulled Qin Tian's Red Sword from his body, blood gushing, laying on the ground, gasping heavily.

"Impossible, impossible..."

He muttered, unable to accept such a defeat, unable to believe that among new disciples, someone could defeat him, shattering his lofty reputation built over the year.

"I admittedly might not be able to kill you across two tiers."

Qin Tian stepped up to Li Tianxuan, looking down at him, and said, "But, look closely, I am now at the High Stage of the Ascension Period."

Swish!

Upon hearing this, Li Tianxuan froze.

As he looked at Qin Tian, Qin Tian unleashed his True Qi.

Indeed, True Qi at the High Stage of the Ascension Period!

Li Tianxuan was stunned: "How can this be, how can it be... you, you... you were clearly at the Middle Stage of the Ascension Period! I saw it clearly!"

Qin Tian smiled: "Previously, I was indeed at the Middle Stage of the Ascension Period, but just now, when I unleashed the Peak of the Storm Technique, my cultivation advanced, entering the High Stage of the Ascension Period!"

"Our difference is now only one stage; overcoming it to kill is a common skill among cultivation geniuses. You are unfortunate to be my first opponent defeated across a stage at the High Stage of the Ascension Period."

"No! No! Ah..."

After saying this, Li Tianxuan, in tears, yelled, and fainted on the spot!
