Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1283

Chapter 1283: Chapter 667: Slander

"One move."

Ling Xiao withdrew his palm and shook his head.

"Next."

Liu Qingshan’s face was deathly pale, but he had no choice but to proceed.

As he leaped onto the stage, a pair of pitch-black short halberds appeared in his hands.

"The Liu family’s Twin Flood Dragon Halberds, please—"

"No need to introduce yourself."

Ling Xiao interrupted him.

"All the same."

Liu Qingshan was furious. His twin halberds crossed, drawing a cross-shaped gleam, as spiritual power surged like waves.

This strike contained all his life’s strength, even cutting cracks into the surface of the stage with its force.

Ling Xiao finally moved.

He clenched his right fist and unleashed a simple straight punch.

"Boom!"

The clash of fist and halberd exploded in a wave of air.

Liu Qingshan felt an irresistible force overwhelming him, the halberds flying from his hands, his whole body thrown back, crashing into the edge of the stage’s protective array and sliding down.

"The sixth one."

Ling Xiao shook his wrist and turned to step off the stage.

"Hold on!"

The examiner suddenly spoke, an elder with white hair and beard, his eyes carrying a complex expression.

"Ling Xiao, you’ve won six consecutive matches. According to the rules, you can take six spots. But..."

He glanced at the collapsed Tian Kun and Liu Qingshan, his eyes full of compassion.

"How about leaving them a chance?"

Ling Xiao paused and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

The examiner lightly coughed.

"I have decided to temporarily change the rules. The last spot will be determined by a match between Tian Kun and Liu Qingshan. Can you allow it?"

The audience instantly erupted.

The eliminated cultivators looked as if their hearts had died, especially strong ones like Jiang Dashan from the top three, clenching their fists tightly.

Bai Xin gave a bitter smile, muttering to himself.

"Twenty-nine years old... another three years and I’ll be too old..."

He stared at the stage, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Ling Xiao glanced at the examiner’s serious expression, then at the crowd, and suddenly laughed.

"Very well, I’ll give the Holy Land some face."

He gracefully jumped off the stage, walking towards Gu Sheng who had been waiting for some time.

"What a pity, was planning to take all the spots."

Ling Xiao transmitted, with a tone tinged with regret.

Gu Sheng grinned, patting him on the shoulder.

"Don’t be too flamboyant, kid. Be careful not to get sidelined once in the Holy Land."

"Afraid of what?"

Ling Xiao was unconcerned.

"Let’s first grab some cultivation resources while we can."

The two exchanged a knowing smile, attracting the attention of several Holy Land disciples nearby.

One of them whispered.

"Senior Brother Wang, if Ling Xiao truly joins us, in the future he might..."

The youth referred to as Senior Brother Wang had a handsome face, and upon hearing this, he smiled mysteriously.

"I have my own plans."

He gazed deeply toward the stage, where Tian Kun and Liu Qingshan had already gotten back up, facing each other.

"Thank you, examiner, for your indulgence!"

Tian Kun and Liu Qingshan bowed to the elder in unison, with newfound hope igniting in their eyes.

The examiner nodded.

"Begin."

Tian Kun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, holding his long sword horizontally.

"Liu Qingshan, today only one of us will leave standing!"

"Just what I wanted!"

Liu Qingshan retrieved his twin halberds, eyes burning with battle spirit.

The two exploded into action simultaneously, their weapons clashing instantly.

Unlike Ling Xiao’s overwhelming fight, this battle entered a fever pitch from the start.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The clash of metal was like a torrential downpour. Tian Kun’s sword skill was bold and sweeping, each strike carrying the force to split mountains.

Liu Qingshan’s twin halberds moved like flood dragons emerging from the sea, both offensive and defensive. In a blink, ten exchanges passed, each man bearing new wounds, yet fighting on with even more vigor.

"Exhilarating!"

Tian Kun laughed heartily, his sword momentum suddenly shifted, transitioning from hard to soft, the blade winding around Liu Qingshan’s halberds like flowing water.

Caught off guard, Liu Qingshan’s right halberd was deflected, leaving his chest exposed.

Tian Kun seized the opportunity, his left fist channeling all his spiritual power, striking fiercely at the other’s abdomen.

"Bang!"

In a dull thud, Liu Qingshan spat a mouthful of fresh blood, staggering back several steps, yet gritting his teeth and holding his ground, the twin halberds crossed protectively over his chest.

"It’s not over yet!"
