Whether or not it worked depended on the situation at hand.
Su Xing took a deep breath and relaxed a bit. After that, he also held his sword and faced Xue Tao.
"Raging Flames."
Xue Tao brandished his spear and thrust it towards Su Xing without any fancy moves.
When the flame spear approached Su Xing, it immediately ignited with boundless fury. A sea of fire instantly lit up in front of Su Xing.
"Su Xing, prepare to die." This time around, he directly tried to kill Su Xing.
"Stop." Below the stage, when Su Yuan Zhan saw the situation, he was caught unprepared.
He had never thought that Xue Tao would actually dare to kill in such a situation.
Su Xing did not panic even in the face of such a scene.
He was as calm as water, and then he threw his sword into the air.
"Sword kinesis, up." He let out a low growl, and the sword gave a low hum as if responding to him.
Seeing this, Su Xing leaped up and landed on the sword's body.
The sword carried Su Xing away from the sea of fire as he rapidly ascended into the sky.
"That's …" When Xiao Qingshan saw the scene, he immediately became excited. "That is the Imperial Sword Technique?"
The other people in the VIP seats were also stunned by Su Xing's sudden move. The Great Elder muttered, "It is indeed a bit like the Imperial Sword Technique, but Second Brother once said, isn't the Imperial Sword Technique something that can only be practiced at the Spirit Realm? "Right now, Su Xing is still in the Refinement Realm. If he were to forcefully use the Imperial Sword Technique, it won't be long before he completely runs out of spirit energy. When that happens …"
"Hmph, Su Yuanying really dotes on this disciple of his. We begged him so many times, but he didn't even give us a glance at this Imperial Sword Technique. Now, he actually passed it down to a little kid who's only at the Refinement Realm."
The Third Elder said in a strange tone, "I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for him to win against my son with his Imperial Sword Technique that he has yet to practice at home."
Su Yuanying looked at the situation on the stage and was shocked.
"I didn't expect him to grasp the first stance of the Imperial Sword Technique so quickly. This kid, he's really hiding it well."
After stepping onto the flying sword, Su Xing flew into the air. At the same time, he would throw a pill into his mouth to maintain the abundant Spiritual Energy within his body.
He had prepared quite a few medicinal pills in preparation for this year's great sect competition.
One was in the air while the other was on the ground. Without a flying martial skill, as long as Su Xing didn't choose to take it head-on, Xue Tao would have no way of dealing with him.
"Bastard." Xue Tao didn't expect that this fellow would still be hiding such a move. Being unable to attack anyone, he was angered to the point that his eyes were burning.
After Su Xing circled a few times in the air, he caused Xue Tao to feel dizzy and disoriented.
"It's here. Sword kinesis, go." When Su Xing arrived behind Xue Tao like a bolt of lightning, he quickly circulated all the Spiritual Energy in his body and poured it all into the sword.
The sword was like a reckless flood dragon as it suddenly charged at Xue Tao.
Xue Tao turned around and hurriedly increased the distance between him and Su Xing. After that, he controlled the Raging Flames Spear and met them head on.
"Bang …"
The two swords collided, but Su Xing's sword did not stop. The tip of the sword, which had been broken due to the immense force of impact, pierced through the flaming spear and shot towards Xue Tao once again.
"Puchi …"
The tip of the sword pierced into Xue Tao's chest and sent him flying.
At the same time, Su Xing, who was on the other side, unleashed his final attack. His entire body was heavily overloaded, and like a withered leaf, he fell from the sky.
Everyone, whether they were onstage or off-stage, was dumbstruck by this scene. The entire arena instantly went silent.
In just an instant, the scene returned to its previous chaotic state.
"Is this a draw?"
"To think that Su Xing was able to tie with Shixiong Xue. When did he become so strong?"
"This... How was this possible? Senior Xue is at the ninth level of the Refinement Realm and is only one step away from the Spirit Realm. How could he fight Su Xing to a standstill? "
"..."
Below the stage, the blue clothed girl was still clapping excitedly. Next to her, Bu Ling'er was covering her small mouth with an expression of disbelief.
The flames were extinguished and the dust dispersed. On the stage, two people were lying on the ground, coughing and gasping for breath.
However, right at this moment, Su Xing shakily stood up.
Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, he walked up to Xue Tao's side. He looked at Xue Tao and said indifferently, "You lost."
Su Xing never thought that he would end the battle in a draw. Looking at Xue Tao, who was on the verge of death, Su Xing actually felt comfortable.
"The feeling of victory is truly great," Su Xing thought.
"Impossible …" Impossible... How can I... May lose... "I lost to you …"
Xue Tao felt sympathetic gazes from all directions. He struggled to get up from the ground. His face was already twisted into a ball from anger. Mixed with dust and blood, he looked not only pathetic, but also terrifying.
For Xue Tao, he had never thought that this would be the result. He, who was always on the top, had been defeated by a trash like Su Xing in public. He felt extremely humiliated.
He wasn't willing to give up. He still wanted to fight.
At this moment, Su Xing raised his foot and stepped on Xue Tao's back viciously.
"What? Can't afford to lose?" Su Xing said coldly, "Don't you feel very unhappy being stepped on? I remember that you loved to treat others this way before, but now that you have tasted it yourself, you must be deeply impressed! "
Xue Tao, who had been stomped on the ground by Su Xing, had a completely red and miserable expression on his face.
"Son, you dare?" At this moment, the Third Elder, who was seated in the VIP seats, saw his son being bullied by Su Xing in such a manner.
"Scram." He viciously slapped Su Xing's chest, causing Su Xing to fly far away like a kite with its string cut.
"Sure!" Su Yuanpei did not expect that Ol 'Three would bully the weak and even attack Su Xing, who had just experienced a huge battle.
He hurriedly flew towards the direction where Su Xing had flown and caught him, who had already fainted.
The sudden turn of events left many people dumbfounded.
"Xue Jing, die for me."
After Su Yuanpei handed Su Xing over to Bu Ling'Er, he took a step forward and charged towards Third Elder Xue Jing.
He knew that his cultivation had been completely destroyed and he was not a match for the Third Elder. However, his disciple had been bullied like this. If he did not stand up for his master, then what kind of master would he be?
This was clearly a competition between the younger generation, but now it had become a battle between the older generation.
The Sect Leader, Xiao Qingshan, was furious as he witnessed this scene.
