Chapter 98: Reputation Completely Ruined

  Mu Ke wanted to go out for the second time, but Xiao Ling stopped him and pulled him to discuss with Tang Xinyi and others. After a while, they all showed a smile on their faces, as if they were already confident of defeating Su Ming.

  The second to go into battle was Zhu Yao, this was Xiao Ling's tactical arrangement. Zhu Yao was an earth attribute warrior and also walked the defensive route of a warrior, letting him be the second to go into battle was in order to better consume Su Ming's spiritual power.

  Su Ming saw through their plan at a glance, but he wasn't worried at all because he had extreme confidence in his own strength. To say nothing of nine people taking turns to challenge him, even if three people challenged him together, he still had the confidence to win, let alone nine people together, for which he temporarily didn't have that confidence to win.

  Zhu Yao's battle with Su Ming didn't have any unexpected outcome, it was just that Zhu Yao persisted a bit longer than Xiao Ling, and in the end he was still punched flying by Su Ming. The direction Zhu Yao flew towards happened to be where Mu Tian was, and Mu Tian didn't disappoint Su Ming's good intentions, reaching out to catch Zhu Yao.

  Then several members of the Lingdian team challenged Su Ming one after another, but they were no match for Su Ming. However, they tried their best to consume Su Ming's spiritual power, causing his combat strength to decrease.

  When Mu Tian challenged Su Ming, Su Ming's combat strength was less than fifty percent. Many people in the Ling Temple squad hoped that Mu Tian could consume more of Su Ming's combat strength and even injure him.

  Su Ming also catered to the crowd's wishes, occasionally giving Mu Tianci an opening, allowing him to land several attacks and earning applause from a few members of the Ling Palace team. At this point, the nine of them successfully established a common goal - defeating Su Ming. With this shared objective, it was only a matter of time before they united as one.

  After hitting Su Ming twice in a row, Mu Tian was heavily hit by Su Ming's fist on his chest. As he flew backwards, he was kicked again by Su Ming, making him the most miserable among the few who fought.

  After Mu Tian, Tang Xinyi took the stage. At this time, Su Ming was in a dilemma. He didn't know how to fight against Tang Xinyi. If he attacked Tang Xinyi, he couldn't bring himself to do it; if he didn't attack, he would lose and also miss his chance to leave.

  "Su Ming, I'm a soft-control warrior, my attacks don't have killing power, it's a bit unfair for me to fight you." Tang Xinyi said with a smile, her smile made Su Ming slightly stunned.

  "So what do you want to do then." Su Ming was captivated by Tang Xinyi's smile and followed her words.

  "I'll attack you and dodge, if I can't tie you up within ten minutes, then you win. If I do tie you up, then you lose." Tang Xinyi looked at Su Ming and asked.

  "That's not fair, I think you tied me up and I couldn't get out of it, that's when I lose." Su Ming was captivated by Tang Xinyi's beauty, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to put himself in danger.

  "Alright, listen to you." Tang Xinyi saw that Su Ming hadn't completely refused her request and nodded in satisfaction. In fact, Su Ming could have directly refused her and defeated her with one move, in which case she wouldn't have had any effect at all.

  Tang Xinyi lashed out with the whip in her hand at the moment she spoke, and the whip, like a spirit snake, instantly locked onto Su Ming's body and wrapped around his waist.

  Facing Tang Xinyi's sudden move, Su Ming's feet moved and his body flashed to one side, but the whip seemed to have a spiritual nature and came at him again.

  This whip-like weapon was special, with its softness and elasticity allowing it to change direction at will. At the same time, Tang Xinyi's whip in her hand was several meters long, making it somewhat difficult for Su Ming to dodge.

  Several times, Su Ming was almost entwined by the whip, and he reluctantly took out the Wind and Thunder Sword. This sword was the one he won from defeating Fan Li, a ninth-grade spiritual soldier that could increase the speed of a swordsman's sword release.

  The Wind and Thunder Sword entered his hand, Su Ming's body shape changed like a shadow, he used the sword moves in the nameless sword spectrum as if they were dodging whip techniques. At this time, everyone saw that Su Ming was no longer dodging, but instead went forward to meet the whip. Just when everyone thought Su Ming was going to launch an attack, something unbelievable happened.

  Su Ming seemed to be welcoming the whip as he went, but every time the whip was about to touch him, his body would cleverly brush past it without touching it at all. This left everyone bewildered, wondering how he managed to do so, and this technique was truly too nimble.

  At this time, Fan Li's face revealed a smile, and in his heart, he highly appreciated Su Ming's use of swordsmanship to dodge Tang Xinyi's whip. This not only reduced his own consumption but also didn't put himself in a passive position. Even when dodging, he grasped the initiative in his hands. This was a kind of understanding of combat, and Su Ming did quite well in this regard.

  Ten minutes passed quietly, when Tang Xinyi finished, an incredible expression appeared on her face. Her whip had tied itself into a knot, and it was in the shape of a heart, only she hadn't noticed at first glance.

  "You lost." Su Ming put away his Wind and Thunder Sword, standing on the ground with a hint of fatigue, saying slowly.

  "You're strong, but you're too arrogant." Tang Xinyi's gaze shifted from the whip to Su Ming, and as she spoke, her right hand flicked, restoring the whip to its original shape.

  Su Ming risked great danger and consumed a large amount of spiritual power to create the heart-shaped seal, but it didn't have the slightest effect, leaving him helplessly pursing his lips.

  When Su Ming saw the disappointed look in Tang Xinyi's eyes, he felt a twinge of regret. At this moment, he had an impulse not to continue cooperating with Fan Liyan's play. This play was not only tiring but also offended people, and most importantly, it made him and Tang Xinyi farther apart.

  After struggling in his heart, Su Ming dispelled that thread of regret, because he knew that his hard work they would eventually know, and when the time came, there was still a chance to let Tang Xinyi change her opinion of him.

  Unfortunately, Su Ming didn't know that he had already left three bad impressions on Tang Xinyi's mind: slovenly, greedy for cheap things, and arrogant. Moreover, apart from these three impressions, there were no other impressions of him in her mind, which means his image was completely ruined in her eyes.

  The last one to go into battle was Mu Ke, at this time Su Ming had less than three tenths of his combat power left, but he could still fight against a pre-heavenly boundary late-stage warrior. At the same time, Su Ming had many trump cards, defeating a pre-heavenly boundary perfect warrior was not a big problem, it's just that Su Ming did not want to use those trump cards, because these trump cards were very easy to cause casualties.

  "Today, you will undoubtedly lose." Mu Ke narrowed his eyes and stared tightly at Su Ming.

  "Stop spouting nonsense, if you want to defeat me just make your move, but don't end up like them, unable to withstand a single blow." Su Ming said with a strong spirit and an arrogant expression.

  Mu Ke's eyes blazed with fury as he charged towards Su Ming, his battle knife flashing in the light, its blade biting deep into the air with a swift and deadly motion.
