438 Another Defeat
“The third round of the competition, begin!”

The referee’s voice sounded in the huge ring.

At this moment, there was one person on each side of the stage. One of them was the second-ranked disciple of the Zhan Clan, Zhan Shengjie, and the other was a woman. She was the only female disciple in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s team, Nan Qian.

Nan Qian’s eyes flashed with a trace of panic, but she concealed it very well and did not attract anyone’s attention. On the other hand, Zhan Shengjie’s face was filled with a faint smile, as if he was determined to win this battle.

It was no wonder. As a first-rate power on the Eastern Continent, the disciples who could participate in this competition were all elites of the sect, and could even be called Heaven’s Pride. In a situation where both talent and strength were a win-win, it was normal to be proud.

“This young lady, you look pretty good. Why don’t you quickly admit defeat? Otherwise, if we were to fight later, swords have no eyes. If by any chance, a scratch is left on your little face, it would not be worth it.”

Zhan Shengjie did not rush to make a move. Instead, like Zhan Gaoyuan, he first spoke out to persuade his opponent to surrender. To a certain extent, he was interfering with his opponent’s psychological state.

On the other hand, Nan Qian was obviously not disturbed in the slightest. She snorted lightly and laughed disdainfully. “If you want to fight, then do it. Why are all the people of the Zhan Clan dawdling like sissies? Don’t you find it embarrassing?”

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Shengjie’s face instantly sank.

As an elite member of the Zhan Clan, he was actually being insulted in front of tens of thousands of people. What was even more laughable was that these words came from the mouth of a woman!

This was simply smacking the Zhan Clan’s face!

“I hope your fighting ability is as good as your talking.”

Zhan Shengjie suppressed the anger in his heart and did not let it out.

If he lost his mind because of a woman’s words, it would also be an embarrassing thing.

“Cut the crap!” Nan Qian snorted coldly. Dozens of sharp weapons flew out of her storage bag and circled around her. Each weapon was wrapped in spiritual power and was spinning at high speed. A sharp aura was constantly emitted. “If you can survive my Flying Cloud Darts, then you can talk to me about your nonsense!”

Following Nan Qian’s words, the dozens of Flying Cloud Darts shot out like arrows from a bow, flying towards Zhan Shengjie from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, Zhan Shengjie was already surrounded by dozens of darts.

These cloud darts were densely packed and occupied all the positions around Zhan Shengjie. No matter which way he tried to break through, he would have to face one of the cloud darts. If he did not escape in time, he would be pierced by all the remaining cloud darts in the next moment.

There was no need to say more about the result of being pierced by dozens of darts. Whether he could survive was unknown. Even if he could survive, he would definitely end up with half of his body paralyzed.

Zhan Shengjie’s eyes reflected the light from the Flying Cloud Darts, but he did not show any signs of panic. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up as he sneered.

“Using such a small skill to show off, it’s simply disgraceful.”

Zhan Shengjie grinned as tyrannical spiritual energy burst out from his body. At the same time, the surrounding darts were already very close to him, as if they wouldpPierce his body into a hornet’s nest at any moment.

Just as Zhan Shengjie was about to be turned into a hornet’s nest, the spiritual energy attack suddenly arrived, and the unstoppable force pushed back everything around him. The cloud darts fell to the ground, leaving behind a series of metal clanking sounds.

Easily resolving the attack, Zhan Shengjie laughed smugly. He once again looked at Nan Qian’s position, but in the next moment, his smug smile froze on his face.

Nan Qian’s figure… It disappeared!

“Damn it!” Zhan Shengjie scolded himself for being stupid in his heart. He looked around the entire arena, but he still could not find a single trace of Nan Qian. If it was not for the fact that the judge had yet to announce the end of the competition, he would have thought that Nan Qian had already left the ring without him knowing.

“Where is she?”

Zhan Shengjie constantly scanned his surroundings, but he still could not find Nan Qian’s figure. Losing the position of his opponent made his heart a little chaotic.

But in the next moment, Zhan Shengjie felt a strange fluctuation around him. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and smacked his palm toward the source of the fluctuation.

“Die!”

Zhan Shengjie’s face was filled with malevolence. He had been toyed with by Nan Qian in succession, which made him feel extremely humiliated. Therefore, he did not hold back in his palm strike. As long as it landed on Nan Qian’s body, it would at least take half of her life.

Just as he thought that he was about to end the competition, the palm that was mercilessly clapping down unexpectedly missed and did not touch anything.

“How is this possible…”

Zhan Shengjie stared blankly, he had clearly felt that there was something strange there!

Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly felt a chill behind him. Before he could react, a sharp weapon instantly pierced through his skin and firmly stabbed into his back.

The sudden pain caused Zhan Shengjie to suck in a breath of cold air. As an elite member of the Zhan Clan, he immediately made the correct response. With extreme speed, he twisted his body and stretched out his hand, following the sharp weapon and grabbing onto a slender wrist.

“Go to hell!” With one hand firmly holding onto Nan Qian’s wrist, Zhan Shengjie shouted loudly. His other hand immediately shot out, wrapped in a large amount of spirit energy, and landed on Nan Qian’s abdomen.

Bang-

With a muffled sound, Nan Qian’s figure appeared. She did not even have time to feel the pain in her abdomen before she was sent flying.

Zhan Shengjie did not immediately pursue and attack, but instead pulled out the sharp weapon from his back. When he looked closely, it was actually the Flying Cloud Dart.

“You b*tch!”

Facing a woman who was not as strong as him and was actually injured, Zhan Shengjie only felt his face burning in pain. He stomped his feet and wanted to continue attacking Nan Qian.

“I admit defeat…” At the crucial moment, Nan Qian raised her hand with great difficulty.

In the next moment, the referee’s figure suddenly appeared in front of her, separating her from Zhan Shengjie to prevent what was going to happen next.

At this moment, Nan Qian’s face was pale. Zhan Shengjie’s furious palm had caused a heart-wrenching pain in her abdomen. For a moment, she had lost the ability to move. If she did not admit defeat in time, the consequences could be imagined.

“The third round is over. The Zhan Clan wins!”
