Chapter 411 An unexpected start but a tail end
Zhang Lingrui's "Mysterious Gold Breaking the Void" golden greatsword clashed with Yun Xi's ice-blue "Frost Slash" longsword, creating a massive wave of power that spread across the entire arena in an instant, and even showed signs of continuing to radiate outwards.

Both fighters intended to end the battle with this sword strike, and although they didn't use their full strength, the destructive power was still considerable.

Zhang Lingrui was slightly inferior; her spiritual energy reserves couldn't compare to Yun Xi's late-stage Nascent Soul realm. After drawing her sword, she was pushed to the edge of the arena, while Yun Xi only took two steps back before regaining her balance.

However, she frowned because she also heard a faint cracking sound and was using her divine sense to search for the source of the sound.

Upon hearing the faint cracking sound, Hao Hui knew the arena's protective barrier couldn't hold. He calmly waved his sleeve, escorting all the sect disciples who had been intently watching the fight to the foot of the mountain before speaking:

"Ranxi, Lingrui, sheathe your swords! The protective shield can't withstand your attacks and is about to shatter. Don't let it affect the entire Doufa Peak!"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi and Zhang Lingrui quickly recalled their swords, but the aftershocks of the two sword lights were already irreversible.

The next instant, with a "crack," the residual force of the sword strike finally shattered the protective shield. As the shield broke, the aftershocks of the attack quickly spread in all directions.

The two of them flashed away from the arena and went to the outer perimeter to intercept the residual power of her sword strikes. Yunxi grinned, feeling that she might lose even more spirit stones this time.

The next moment, a gentle breeze blew by, dispersing all the remaining waves of sword intent.

Yunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then she heard her master's voice in her ear:

"Ranxi, remember to go to the Disciple Hall to compensate for the losses of Doufa Peak."

"Yes, Master!"

Yunxi immediately bowed respectfully to the air, secretly relieved that her master had covered for her, which would reduce the amount of spirit stones she had to lose.

At this moment, Zhang Lingrui also came to Yunxi's side and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Senior Sister Ranxi, I didn't control my attack power well just now. I will take half of the loss of Doufa Peak."

Yunxi waved her hand magnanimously and said:

"It's alright. I proposed the duel, and Master said I should take responsibility. You don't need to worry. It's just that this fight wasn't quite satisfying."

Zhang Lingrui laughed and said:

"Senior Sister Ranxi is right. We should have a good fight sometime in the future."

The two then went to Venerable Haohui to express their gratitude.

Haohui looked at him with an expression of admiration for a promising junior and said:
"You should conserve some of your strength and shine in the Five Regions Grand Competition!"

"Yes, Venerable One (Ancestor)!"

The two replied in unison.

After watching the excitement, Haohui slipped back to the back mountain.

Yunxi then said to Zhang Lingrui:
"Let's go and meet up with Lin Keyang."

When the two appeared at the foot of the mountain, they not only saw Lin Keyang waiting for them, but also Elder Han, Sheng Yuhong, Zhou Lingchuan, and a group of sect disciples who wanted to know the outcome of the competition.

Lin Keyang was the first to step forward and say:

"Are you two injured?"

Zhang Lingrui immediately waved his hand and said:

"No, we kept them all safe."

Lin Keyang said irritably:
"You think you're holding back? I think you're getting more and more excited as the fight goes on. If it weren't for Senior Sister Ranxi holding back, you would have been knocked off the stage long ago, and you almost caused damage to the disciples watching."

Seeing that his friend was about to continue criticizing him, Zhang Lingrui quickly laughed it off:
"This is a rare opportunity, so I will naturally seek more guidance from Senior Sister Ranxi. I promise this situation will never happen again!"

Lin Keyang shook his head upon hearing this.

He knew Zhang Lingrui well; the other man was just talking. If he really encountered a swordsman of equal skill, he would definitely fight with all his might. Saying and doing were two completely different things. He was too lazy to say more, so he turned to Yun Xi and said:
"Senior Sister Ranxi, the damage to the arena should be borne by the three of us together," Yunxi waved her hand and replied to Lin Keyang with the same words, then beckoned Elder Han, who was waiting to the side.

"Elder Han, the protective shield of the arena was shattered just now. Please give me a list of how many spirit stones we need to pay in compensation."

Elder Han was prepared; he handed Yun Xi a newly engraved jade slip and then explained:
"This arena is rarely used and the protective shield is poorly maintained, which is why today's incident occurred. The Disciples Hall bears half the responsibility, and True Monarch Ranxi only needs to compensate for half."

Yunxi nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. She had said that the protective shield of the arena was so fragile. The three of them had only been fighting for a short time when it was shattered by the aftershocks of the attack, which greatly affected their mood during the battle.

She then scanned the area with her divine sense and found the compensation price to be reasonable, so she gave Elder Han the jade slip and the storage bag containing spirit stones. She was no longer short of spirit stones.

Elder Han accepted it with a smile, leaving the rest to him.

Yunxi then said to the two of them:
"Let's go sit at Lingxue Peak."

"it is good."

The three of them didn't want to be watched any longer, so they flashed back to Lingxue Peak.

After the three figures disappeared, the murmurs finally erupted:

"Did you see the final blow?"

"I didn't see it clearly, I didn't even blink, but at the crucial moment I was sent to the foot of the mountain!"

"Tsk, that's because the Venerable One is protecting us. Didn't you hear what Elder Han said? The protective shield of the arena was shattered, which shows how powerful the final sword strike was!"

"Sword cultivators are truly powerful; their destructive force is immense!"

"I must say, True Monarch Ranxi is truly formidable; don't forget, she was fighting two against one!"

Someone immediately said in a yin-yang style:
"That's because True Monarch Ranxi has a higher cultivation level. It would be shameful for her to lose!"

"Hmph! Which eye of yours saw that True Monarch Ranxi lost?"

"If we didn't lose, why can't we watch?"

Sheng Yuhong and Zhou Lingchuan, who hadn't left yet, listened to some nonsensical comments, and their expressions darkened.

Sheng Yuhong stepped forward and said:

"If you have nothing else to do, leave Fighting Peak. Instead of discussing other people's wins and losses here, you should work hard to improve your own cultivation. The sparring between Nascent Soul True Monarchs is not judged by winning or losing."

Upon seeing that it was their senior disciples Sheng Yuhong and Zhou Lingchuan, the disciples knew that the two had overheard their conversation. These two represented not only themselves but also Haoran Peak, so the disciples immediately bowed and took their leave, scattering like birds and beasts.

Zhou Lingchuan crossed his arms and said:

"Let's go! Let's go back too."

Although the disciples who were watching the match had all left, the exciting battle was recorded by the onlookers. Because no winner was decided, the bookmaker who set up the betting pool made a large sum of spirit stones.

Ling Xuefeng

After Yunxi invited the two to sit down, she went straight to the point:
"If you wish to participate in this Five Regions Grand Competition, I will not stop you; it is up to you to decide."

Zhang Lingrui and Lin Keyang exchanged a glance and said:

"We will both participate in this competition."

If Lin Keyang had some hesitation before, after fighting Yunxi, he clearly saw his own shortcomings and wanted to accumulate some combat experience. Only an evenly matched opponent could stimulate his potential.

He would not allow Zhang Lingrui, this sword fanatic, to go alone. If he really fell into the trap set by the evil cultivators, Zhang Lingrui, with his reckless nature, would definitely suffer. He did not want to lose a close friend he could entrust his life to.
