"089, dare to fight with me! A very early update"

  I am Ling Yun!

  Four simple words came out of Lingyun's mouth, carrying a resolute tone.

  "I don't care if you're Ling Yun or Ling Feng, anyone who blocks me today will die!"

  Zhang Hao's eyes gleamed with a cold light, and he raised the Soul-Accompanying Crescent Moon Knife in his hand to slash down at Ling Yun in anger. The knife reached halfway through the air, its crescent-shaped blade flashing fiercely.

  This sword is precisely Zhang Hao's Xuan-level lower-grade martial art "Companion Moon Sword Art"'s Lower Arc of the Moon!

  "Brush!"

  The blade's momentum was extremely strong, and its sharpness was unmatched. The power of a single knife shocked many disciples around the various sects, and even Li Ke was secretly surprised, because Zhang Hao's knife was too sharp, and Ling Yun's current strength couldn't withstand it at all.

  Just as Li Ke was about to push Lingyun away, a loud shout of anger suddenly came.

  "Stop!"

  Suddenly a orange light flashed by, heavily blocking Zhang Hao's extremely fierce slash.

  "Senior, what do you mean?"

  Zhang Hao's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he glared at the old man who had blocked his deadly blow. "Senior, although you are the reception master of the Double Blade Sect, don't forget the sect rules! Core disciples have the right to kill inner sect disciples! I hope you won't interfere unnecessarily!"

  "Double Blade Sect's rules I know, no need for you to teach me! But today, you can't touch him!"

  The old man held the soul of the sword, which was an orange-colored mirror about the size of a washbasin. It radiated light in all directions and had two strands of true energy coiled around it, sharp beyond compare. The orange glow flashed on and off, making the mirror seem illusory.

  There were two strands of true energy coiled around his body, revealing the old man's cultivation base in a most striking manner.

  Kage no Jūryoku! (Shadow's Gravity!)

  "What?!"

  Zhang Hao was stunned, clearly not expecting the old man to say such a thing to him.

  "Can't move him? A newly promoted inner disciple who just passed the Soul of Soldiers test?" Zhang Hao's eyes widened as he stared at Lingyun, what was his identity? The core disciple of Double Blade Sect and also a ranked disciple, yet he couldn't move a newly promoted inner disciple like Lingyun.

  The old man's words were so straightforward that Zhang Hao's face turned very ugly.

  "What if I have to move him?"

  Zhang Hao swallowed the evil air that was stuck in his chest, his own younger cousin had been killed right under his nose, now he wanted to avenge him, but was blocked by an unrelated person, and then because of this unrelated person, he was actually blocked again by the only one who could introduce him to the Double Blade Sect.

  What's all this about?

  Zhang Hao's head was spinning with anger, his whole body trembling. He couldn't understand why the old man had to do this.

  "Then you should have asked me about the illusory mirror in my hand first!"

  The old man's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he listened to Zhang Hao's words and said coldly.

  you

  Zhang Hao gritted his teeth, he couldn't understand it, he really couldn't understand why a sect's leader would offend him, a core disciple, for the sake of a newly inner door disciple.

  "Grass!"

  Zhang Hao was furious in his heart, but this bad breath couldn't be let out.

  Although Zhang Hao didn't understand the old man's method, Li Ke on the side quietly understood some of it.

  When he followed Lingyun out of the military law building with the old man, he had actually guessed it.

  Now escorting the old man is to compete with Lingyun and Zhang Hao, who has a yellow five-grade soul accompanying the crescent moon knife, which is enough to prove that Li Ke's guess is correct.

  Because of Lingyun's military soul!

  Only a green four-star or higher-ranked soldier's soul could make the old man so indifferent to the yellow five-star soldier's soul.

  Thinking of this, Li Ke's face lightly revealed a smile.

  "You! You all..."

  But Zhang Hao was furious, his whole body trembling with rage. In all his years, he had never been so humiliated before, this was a first for him. As the core disciple of the Double Blade Sect, he had always gotten his way, but today, he had lost face three times in a row, leaving him seething with anger.

  "Good! Very good!"

  "Today's grudges, I, Zhang Hao, have all taken note of them. You, you... and you!" Zhang Hao held the Moonlit Crescent Knife with a sharp blade, pointing at Li Ke, Cai Dao, and Ling Yun one by one, then said in a cold voice: "One day, I will use the fresh blood of you three to make an offering to my younger brother's spirit in heaven!"

  "Are you challenging me?"

  Li Ke's eyes turned cold and he stared at Zhang Hao, being threatened like this was also his first time.

  "A challenge?"

  Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly showed a hint of disdain as he coldly sneered, "You think you're qualified? You're not even worthy!"

  "And this isn't a challenge, it's slaughter! The three of you are destined to die at my hands!"

  Listening to Zhang Hao's words, Li Ke's eyes sank, and with his current strength, he had no problem dealing with Zhang Hao. He had killed several masters of the eighth level of the Refining Soldier Realm, and killing Zhang Hao would only take a minute or two.

  "Do you still need qualifications to challenge?"

  Li Ke also sneered coldly, but his gaze turned to Zhang Hao was in vain. He shouted loudly at Zhang Hao: "But I want to challenge you!"

  "Seven days later, the sect's grand competition, I will defeat all inner door disciples one by one and become the first in the inner door. At that time, I will challenge you to a duel, Zhang Hao, do you dare to fight me?"

  In front of many disciples from various sects, Li Ke directly said such words, instantly stunning everyone.

  "What? What did he say?"

  "To defeat all inner door disciples one by one in the Grand Sect Competition and become the first of the inner door?"

  "Is he kidding? How is this possible?"

  "This isn't how it's possible! It's fundamentally impossible!"

  "What kind of strength does Li Ke have? He became an inner disciple for only a short period of two and a half years, how could he raise his strength to what level in such a short time, and his Soul Soldier is still the worst flying dagger Soul Soldier, how can he possibly be a match for Zhang Hao?"

  Listening to the heated discussions around him, Li Ke remained unmoved. Since he dared to issue such a challenge, he must have had the confidence to win.

  "Alright! Seven days later, the sect's grand competition. I'm waiting for you. Hope you don't lose within the inner gates! At that time, I'll make you splatter blood all over the Divine Martial Stage!"

  Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Hao was directly challenged by Li Ke, making him unable to refuse Li Ke's challenge!

  Yin Luo, Zhang Hao put away the Soul Companion Moon Crescent Knife in his hand and gave Li Ke a cold glance before turning around and leaving.

  At this time, there was an old man with a double power of transformation who had no grasp of killing Li Ke at all, but it would be different in the great comparison of the sect. With his identity, even if he killed Li Ke, the Double Knife Sect would not investigate.

  Several inner disciples who followed Zhang Hao glared at Li Ke fiercely when they saw Zhang Hao leave in anger, then several people lifted up Zhang Hao's body and left behind Zhang Hao.

  "Zhang Hao, our sect's grand competition, my big brother will definitely defeat you!"

  As Zhang Hao left, Ling Yun clenched his fists tightly and swung them at Zhang Hao.
