Meanwhile, most people present on the scene had also returned to their senses. Many of them began to pinch their thighs. When they felt the pain on their thighs only were they convinced what they witnessed was not a hallucination.
Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, had killed Zhong Gu in just a blow!
"This Xu Jing… D-Don't tell me he's already a Mastery Refined Saint Stage powerhouse?" Although most of the spectators did not possess the perceptiveness of Ren Zhong, Liu Hong Guang, and Xu Cen, they could still vaguely guess this when they recalled the scene they witnessed. They were shocked.
"How's this possible?" Apart from feeling baffled, they felt it was impossible.
A person who was at the Early Refined Saint Stage a year ago had actually broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage? They wondered how Xu Jing had cultivated in this past year.
However, many of the sectless cultivators' eyes were red when they looked at Xu Jing.
Zhong Gu, a strong powerhouse among the middle-aged sectless cultivators, had an extraordinary position in the eyes of the sectless cultivators. Moreover, many of the sectless cultivators also placed their hopes on him.
In the Rising Sky Mansion's district, although sectless cultivators could be considered to be in a state of disunity, some sectless powerhouses would still step out to unite the sectless cultivators to solve problems that had arisen.
However, recently, there was no outstanding sectless cultivator in the Rising Sky Mansion's district at all. Due to this reason, many sectless cultivators pinned their hopes on Zhong Gu. They felt he could be someone who could unite the sectless cultivators in the future.
However, Zhong Gu had died. His death had shattered their dream.
Many sectless cultivators looked at Duan Ling Tian in unison and sighed. Put aside the fact that they did not know Li Feng at all, and it was obvious he did not like being in the spotlight, based on his interaction with Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang, it was obvious he was interested in joining one of the powerful forces.
Due to this reason, they did not think Li Feng would be able to replace Zhong Gu.
When they thought of this, the sectless cultivators looked at Xu Jing with piercing gazes. It was as though they wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces.
No matter what, Zhong Gu had been defeated by Xu Jing. He had finally managed to clear his name and change the masses' opinion.
Not only was he not inferior to Zhong Gu, it only took him one blow to kill Zhong Gu.
If there were people who found this the hardest to believe when they saw how Xu Jing killed Zhong Gu, it was none other than the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
They were from the same generation in the Rising Sky Mansion's district, as the leading people, both the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi had a clear understanding of who was talented among their peers, and this included Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
However, the strength Xu Jing displayed today gave them a strange vibe.
Gasp! Gasp!
When they returned to their senses, they gasped in unison. "Mastery Refined Saint Stage… Xu Jing has already broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage?"
The fact was both of them had only just made a breakthrough to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage not too long ago. However, Xu Jing who was behind them all this while had finally caught up to them.
How could they not feel dumbfounded?
After killing Zhong Gu, Xu Jing had also replaced him as the new Ring Master.
At this moment, a Rising Sky Mansion's disciple stepped out. It was a Mastery Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator who had long been eliminated.
When the crowd saw him coming out, none of them laughed. Their expressions turned grave instead.
They felt a sense of deja vu. It was similar to how Xu Gang had stepped out earlier.
Many people instantly shifted their attention to Xu Jing.
"Don't tell me this Xu Jing still wants to kill somebody?"
"Is he addicted to killing now?"
Unlike before, after Xu Jing had demonstrated strength that seemed as though it was at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage, those people who looked down on him earlier no longer dared to do so.
What a joke!
It was fine if they were unaware of his strength. However, his strength had been proven after Xu Jing killed Zhong Gu in just a move. In fact, his strength might not be inferior to the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
At this moment, nobody thought Xu Jing had taken such a long time to appear because he was afraid of the Flowery Monk or Jing Xu Zi.
Just like the crowd had expected, the disciple from Rising Sky Mansion chose to challenge Xu Jing. Also as expected, Xu Jing admitted defeat and was eliminated.
At this moment, he was no longer a Ring Master, and he could freely challenge any Ring Master as he pleased.
Xu Jing's gaze once again landed on Duan Ling Tian, causing Duan Ling Tian's expression to turn grave.
Currently, although his comprehension of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, Sovereign Heart Sword, had deepened and was getting close to the second stage, the Sword Shadowed Heart, it would still be difficult for him to fight a Mastery Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator even if he had a chance of winning.
Based on the strength Xu Jing displayed earlier, Duan Ling Tian could tell it was not as simple as breaking through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage. Although he did not fear Xu Jing, he was not completely confident he would be able to win.
"He wants to challenge Li Feng?" Many people were shocked when they saw Xu Jing eyeing Li Feng. "Is he trying to kill all sectless cultivators?"
Earlier, the crowd might have felt Xu Jing could not defeat Li Feng. However, their opinion had changed now. They thought if Xu Jing decided to attack Li Feng now, Li Feng would definitely die.
The expressions of the sectless cultivators on the scene turned grave immediately.
Xu Cen's eyes gleamed when he saw Xu Jing looking at Duan Ling Tian. He quickly transmitted his voice to Xu Jing. "Young Mansion Master, this Li Feng is even more ruthless than Zhong Gu! He actually killed two talented Martial Cultivators from our Rising Sky Mansion!"
Although his words sounded noble and righteous, how could Xu Jing not know Xue Cen was trying to use him to seek revenge for Xu Can?
Originally, he had indeed planned on challenging Duan Ling Tian. However, the moment he heard Xu Cen's Voice Transmission, he immediately dismissed the idea for the time being.
What a joke!
Put aside the fact that he was the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, even if he was not, as the successor of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, his achievements in the future was limitless. How could he possibly let the Grand Elder order him around?
Due to this reason, not only did Xu Jing ignore Xu Cen, but he even looked away from Duan Ling Tian.
Many sectless cultivators instantly sighed in relief.
Xu Cen's expression was grave. He did not think that Xu Jing would ignore him. Moreover, he acted as though he did not have the intention of challenging Li Feng. However, there was nothing he could do no matter how angry he was.
Although he was the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing was the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
In the Rising Sky Mansion, as the son of the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing's position was, naturally, higher than his.
Soon after, Xu Jing's eyes landed on the Flowery Monk. At the same time, his body flashed, and in just a blink of an eye, he appeared on the Flowery Monk's chess piece, standing opposite him.
"Flowery Monk, I was weaker than you previously. Today, I want to prove that I, Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, am the strongest powerhouse among the middle-aged generation in the Rising Sky Mansion's district!"
Xu Jing's words were filled with vigor and confidence.
Faced with the confident Xu Jing, the Flowery Monk merely smiled indifferently. "Young Mansion Master Xu, it's quite shocking that you've broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage… However, if you think you'll be able to defeat me just because you've made a breakthrough, you're greatly mistaken!"
The moment his words left his mouth, the kasaya on the Flowery Monk's body fluttered as his True Origin surged out of his body.
At this moment, the air surrounding the Flowery Monk rippled.
Ren Zhong, Liu Hong Guang, and Xu Cen's Divine Consciousness instantly sensed the Flowery Monk's aura. They widened their eyes in unison as they exclaimed with a stunned expression on their faces, "Mastery Refined Saint Stage!"
Although their voices were not loud, a lot of people present on the scene had good hearing so they, naturally, heard their words.
The crowd immediately looked at the Flowery Monk in astonishment. "T-This Flowery Monk has also broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage?"
"As expected from one of the two most outstanding powerhouses in the middle-aged generation in our Rising Sky Mansion's district. The Flowery Monk's innate talent and strength are really amazing!"
"The Flowery Monk has already made a breakthrough, I wonder if Jing Xu Zi has also made a breakthrough?"
…
Compared to Xu Jing, the Flowery Monk's breakthrough only shocked the crowd for a moment. They managed to calm down after a while.
In their opinion, the Flowery Monk had always been outstanding, and he was already an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator since a while ago. It was not that surprising when they learned he had already broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage.
However, they were curious if Jing Xu Zi had also broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage as well.
Xu Jing rose up into the air as he looked at the young Taoist priest standing on another chess piece nearby before he asked loudly, "If I'm not mistaken, Jing Xu Zi, you must have made a breakthrough as well, right?"
From the beginning to the end, Xu Jing did not seem surprised by the Flowery Monk's cultivation base. Moreover, he was even in the mood to enquire Jing Xu Zi's cultivation base.
Faced with Xu Jing's question, Jing Xu Zi nodded his head even though he remained silent.
The crowd instantly broke into an uproar.
Even Jing Xu Zi had broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage?
In this case, this meant the Rising Sky Ranking Battle this time had had three powerhouses at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage?
"Good! Very good!" Xu Jing seemed pleased with Jing Xu Zi's reply.
Then, he lifted his head to look at Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang. "Vice Mansion Master Ren, Elder Liu, I'd like to simultaneously challenge the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi!"
