The words "I concede" were very soft, but just as the Heavenly Peng Prince's halberd was about to smash into Xuan Mingzi, it stopped firmly less than three inches from Xuan Mingzi's head.
A slender, fair hand was seen grabbing the Heavenly Peng Prince's halberd.
"He conceded, you won," Gu Wei said calmly.
"You..."
"Hmm?"
The Heavenly Peng Prince was about to say something but was silenced by a sharp glare from Gu Wei. He instantly felt a powerful pressure, his hair standing on end. He then remembered that this beautiful human woman, who looked only in her early twenties, had just killed a powerful Ancestral King with a single strike, leaving nothing behind.
Thinking of this, the Heavenly Peng Prince instantly backed down. No matter how noble his status, the difference in strength was like a chasm, and he had to admit defeat.
Seeing his reaction, Gu Wei didn't say anything. She released the Heavenly Peng Prince's halberd and said to Xuan Mingzi, "Go back!"
"Thank you, Senior!" Xuan Mingzi thanked Gu Wei and then flew towards the academy's Dharma boat.
As soon as he returned, he immediately felt several murderous gazes fixed on him. Without thinking, he knew it was Li Beifei and the others.
Xuan Mingzi was still thinking about how to explain when Li Beifei's voice rang out.
"Not bad, Xuan Mingzi. I thought you were going to use a strategy of attrition, but I didn't expect you to concede so quickly."
"Cough, cough, Boss, I was thinking it would be too wasteful to use the Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pill in a fight against him," Xuan Mingzi explained awkwardly.
"So, I should thank you?" Li Beifei asked with a playful look in his eyes.
"It's not... it's not, it's not." Xuan Mingzi quickly changed his words and denied it, looking very guilty, almost blurting out what he was really thinking.
"Hmph!" Li Beifei snorted coldly and stopped talking.
"Boss?" Xuan Mingzi tentatively looked at Li Beifei.
"What?" Li Beifei asked.
"That... aren't you going to ask me to return the pill?" Xuan Mingzi asked.
"When have I, Li Beifei, ever taken back something I gave away? Are you looking down on me?" Li Beifei narrowed his eyes at Xuan Mingzi.
Xuan Mingzi shook his head repeatedly, saying 'no' several times. In his heart, he was overjoyed. He glanced triumphantly at Bai Yifei, Xia Wuji, and Li Ruoyu. See, the boss truly loves me.
"Thank you, Boss!" Xuan Mingzi said with a smile.
"Alright, go change your clothes. Look at you, what do you look like."
Li Beifei scolded with a smile. In fact, he didn't feel bad about the Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pill. On the contrary, when Xuan Mingzi's heart was pierced by the Heavenly Peng Prince, although he knew that Xuan Mingzi had prepared the Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pill in advance, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pill was very precious to others, but to him, it was nothing compared to the safety of the people around him.
After Xuan Mingzi left, Li Beifei immediately felt several fiery gazes looking at him.
"Cough, cough, let's watch the show!" Li Beifei avoided the gazes of Bai Yifei and the other two.
But the three of them didn't look away. Xia Wuji even said, "Brother Li, you can't favor Xuan Mingzi over us!"
Finally, after a round of "sweet talk" from the three, Li Beifei secretly took out three jade bottles again.
Li Beifei was actually happy to give them these pills. This way, he could firmly bind them to the Seven Stars Sword Sect. When the Seven Stars Sword Sect faced the three quasi-Emperor forces in ten years, the pressure wouldn't be so great.
Soon, Xuan Mingzi returned. He had already changed into a brand new treasure robe, and even his hairstyle had been redone.
At this time, the Heavenly Peng Prince, holding his halberd, stood in the center of the battlefield. He didn't say a word, but his attitude was very clear. He was waiting for a human genius to stand up and challenge him.
"The Heavenly Peng Prince is angry!"
"Yeah, although he won just now, he won too aggrievedly."
"Saint-level pill, that human must have taken a Saint-level pill, otherwise it's impossible to be completely unharmed in an instant."
"Saint-level pills, even the Ancestral Kings of our ancient race or the Saints of the human race can hardly find one, they are extremely precious!"
Seeing the Heavenly Peng Prince standing silently on the battlefield, the ancient race began to discuss among themselves.
In the academy, some people also started looking at each other. Facing the powerful Heavenly Peng Prince, although they wanted to go up and fight, after the previous few matches, when two people from the academy died, their passion cooled down slightly. It was obviously suicide to go up with insufficient strength. Not only would they not be able to defend the dignity of the human race, but they would also add to the prestige of the ancient race.
"I'll go!"
At this time, Hong Hong, dressed in red, walked out. After a year of growth, the childishness on Hong Hong's body had faded a lot. Now, she was already a beautiful and graceful woman.
"Hong Hong, let me do it!"
At this time, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi came to Hong Hong and wanted to replace Hong Hong in the battle.
Hong Hong shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, Sister Holy Maiden. The master must be watching at this time. I can't let him down."
"Then be careful!" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi earnestly instructed.
"Yes!" Hong Hong nodded, then slowly flew out of the Dharma boat and came to the battlefield.
Seeing his senior sister Hong Hong going into battle, Li Beifei couldn't help but say, "This Heavenly Peng Prince is going to be in trouble!"
"Boss, really? Is Hong Hong so strong?" Xuan Mingzi asked in surprise. He had used an incomplete secret technique to double his strength, but he still couldn't gain any advantage in the Heavenly Peng Prince's hands. Was Hong Hong, who usually didn't show off, really that strong?
The others also had puzzled expressions on their faces.
Li Beifei said, "To tell you the truth, I have sparred with my senior sister several times, and every time, I lost."
"Hong Hong is so strong?" Bai Yifei said in shock.
Li Beifei nodded. Although he had now comprehended the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Immortal Art, an incredibly heaven-defying Immortal Emperor technique, he still didn't have the confidence to say that he could defeat Hong Hong with 100% certainty. Not to mention that he had only comprehended it recently, and who knew if the master would give the senior sister special training. You must know that in front of the master, an Immortal Emperor was no different from a mortal.
Hong Hong's conspicuous red dress, matched with her black hair and beautiful face, instantly made her the focus of the entire audience.
When the Heavenly Peng Prince saw that the one challenging him was a human girl, he frowned and said coldly, "Does the human race have no decent men? To actually send a woman into battle!"
It's no wonder the Heavenly Peng Prince said this, because throughout history, there are only two women who have clearly recorded becoming Dao, one is the Heavenly Eye Empress, and the other is the founding ancestor of the Yaochi Holy Land, the Yaochi Holy Mother. The rest are all men.
So, when the Heavenly Peng Prince saw that the academy had sent a woman, he taunted the human race for actually letting Hong Hong go into battle.
But Hong Hong ignored the Heavenly Peng Prince. She looked at the Heavenly Peng Prince and said softly, "Human race, student of the Human Dao Academy, Hongyi, please enlighten me!"
When Gu Changsheng accepted her as a disciple, seeing that she liked to wear red clothes, he named her Hongyi, but outside he always called her Hong Hong. After calling her that for a long time, he got used to it and didn't change it.
And Hongyi was Hong Hong's real name. As for her surname, Hong Hong wanted to suggest taking Gu Changsheng's surname, but Gu Changsheng smiled and refused, because it wouldn't be long before Hong Hong had her own surname.
"So senior sister's name isn't Hong Hong!" Li Beifei scratched his head. They had been senior and junior siblings for more than a year, and he only found out now. Wasn't he, this junior brother, too irresponsible?
No, it's all Gu Changsheng's fault. He didn't explain it clearly when he introduced her.
