Chapter 208: Jedi counterattack, the dawn of hope
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his eyes becoming resolute. A strange energy wave emanated from his body, completely different from the spiritual power he normally cultivated.
"What is this?" The second young master felt this strange energy and alarm bells rang in his heart.
Before he could react, Ren Xiaoyao moved. He flashed, leaving a ghostly afterimage in the same place, and the next moment he appeared beside the Second Young Master.
"Teleport?" The family members watching the fight exclaimed in surprise. This kind of movement was unheard of and unseen.
The Great Elder frowned. How many secrets did this kid have?
Even the Mysterious Man, who had remained calm and composed, had a flicker of surprise in his eyes. This kind of agility didn't seem to be something that could exist in this world...
The second young master responded hastily, but Ren Xiaoyao was too fast and his movements were erratic, so he couldn't catch Ren Xiaoyao's movement trajectory at all.
"Phantom Step!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted softly, and his figure disappeared again, appearing behind the second young master.
"Bang!" The second young master was unable to dodge and was hit on the back by Ren Xiaoyao's palm. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Impossible!" The second young master widened his eyes in disbelief. He was actually hit by this loser?
He roared, mobilized all his spiritual power, and attacked Ren Xiaoyao frantically. However, Ren Xiaoyao seemed to be able to predict his attacks, always avoiding them in advance and seizing the opportunity to counterattack.
The situation in the arena quietly changed at this moment.
"This kid..."
The Great Elder stared at Ren Xiaoyao intently, a complicated look flashing in his turbid eyes.
"Brother Xiaoyao..."
Charlene covered her mouth excitedly, tears and hope flashing in her eyes.
"The game is over, Second Young Master."
Ren Xiaoyao's lips curled up in a confident arc, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.
Ren Xiaoyao seized upon the Second Young Master's panic and launched a fierce counterattack. His figure was elusive, moving across the arena like a ghost. Each of his attacks was precise and ruthless, each one targeting the Second Young Master's vital points.
"What kind of body movement is this? I've never heard of it!"
"When did this kid become so powerful?"
The family members watching the fight were discussing the situation, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief. They had never seen such bizarre and unpredictable movements before, as if martial arts from another world, completely beyond their comprehension.
The Second Young Master was beaten back by Ren Xiaoyao, and he was shocked and angry. He couldn't understand why this guy, whom he once regarded as a waste, actually possessed such powerful strength!
"Impossible! How can you be so strong?!" the second young master roared, his voice full of unwillingness and fear.
"It's too late to realize it now!" Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly and attacked more fiercely.
"Phantom Slash!"
With a low shout, a sharp blade flashing with cold light suddenly appeared in Ren Xiaoyao's hand, leaving a series of afterimages and sweeping towards the second young master.
The Second Young Master frantically tried to defend himself, but found that he couldn't track Ren Xiaoyao's attack at all. He could only watch helplessly as those afterimages got closer and closer, eventually surrounding him completely.
"what!"
With a scream, several bloody marks appeared on the second young master's body in an instant, and the blood dyed his clothes red.
"Brother Xiaoyao..." Xia Lin saw Ren Xiaoyao fight back and a relieved smile appeared on her face, but she knew that the crisis was not over yet. She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly and prayed silently in her heart.
On the fighting stage, Ren Xiaoyao did not let his guard down just because he had the upper hand. He knew that the Second Young Master's strength should not be underestimated, not to mention that the Great Elder and the mysterious man were watching closely.
He must fight quickly!
Thinking of this, a flicker of determination flashed across Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. He took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated frantically, and an even more powerful force burst out from his body.
"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin felt this powerful force and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
However, her reminder was still a step too late.
The elder's eyes flashed, and he stood up suddenly, saying in a deep voice, "Stop!" As soon as the elder finished speaking, an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire arena. Ren Xiaoyao felt a powerful force restraining his movements, and his offensive could not help but stagnate.
"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin exclaimed and looked at Ren Xiaoyao worriedly.
"Great Elder, what do you mean?" Ren Xiaoyao asked in a deep voice, trying to suppress the pressure on his body.
The Great Elder ignored Ren Xiaoyao's questioning. He stared at Ren Xiaoyao with a strange light flashing in his eyes. "Where did you learn this skill?"
Ren Xiaoyao's heart sank, knowing that his martial arts skills, brought from another world, had caught the attention of the Great Elder. But he remained calm and replied calmly, "Great Elder, this is something I learned through my own practice."
"Comprehension through cultivation?" The Great Elder was clearly unconvinced. "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? How could such exquisite movement skills be easily grasped?"
"If the Great Elder doesn't believe me, I have nothing to say." Ren Xiaoyao said lightly, while secretly mobilizing all his spiritual power, trying to break free from the Great Elder's pressure.
Seeing the Great Elder stop Ren Xiaoyao's attack, the Second Young Master breathed a sigh of relief. He glared at Ren Xiaoyao fiercely, and his hatred for him intensified.
"Kid, just wait for me, I will settle this account with you sooner or later!" The second young master said a cruel word, covering his wound and retreating to the side in shame.
"In a competition, one should stop when the time is right. Doesn't the Second Young Master understand this?" Xia Lin stood up and said coldly.
The second young master's face changed, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by a look from the eldest elder.
The Great Elder ignored the Second Young Master and Xia Lin, his attention completely focused on Ren Xiaoyao. He looked him up and down, as if to see through him. "If you are willing to hand over this set of skills, I can make the decision and absolve you of your guilt today."
"Great Elder, you..." Xia Lin was immediately furious when she heard this. She was about to speak when she was stopped by Ren Xiaoyao.
"What if I don't hand it over?" Ren Xiaoyao looked directly into the eyes of the Great Elder and said word by word.
A cold glint flashed in the Great Elder's eyes, and an even stronger pressure came towards Ren Xiaoyao. At this moment, the mysterious man who had been silent all this time suddenly moved. He flashed and instantly appeared in front of Ren Xiaoyao, blocking the Great Elder's pressure.
"Great Elder, how about we just let today's matter go?" The mysterious man's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable majesty.
The Great Elder looked deeply at the mysterious man, then looked at Ren Xiaoyao, and finally snorted coldly and withdrew his pressure.
"I've taken note of what happened today."
After saying that, the Great Elder turned away, leaving behind only a meaningful look.
The mysterious man watched the Great Elder leave, a barely perceptible smile forming at the corner of his mouth...
The mysterious man withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Ren Xiaoyao, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. This kid was even more interesting than he had imagined. He liked people who didn't play by the rules, and he was even more happy to see him stir up trouble.
"You're fine." Mysterio's voice was low and magnetic, yet it carried a subtle chill. "But don't think this will change anything."
After saying this, he ignored everyone's surprised looks and disappeared from the arena in a flash.
The sudden appearance and departure of the mysterious man left everyone present baffled. Only Ren Xiaoyao vaguely felt that the mysterious man seemed to look at him differently, but he could not be sure of his true intentions.
The departure of the Great Elder did not restore peace to the arena. Instead, the situation became more delicate due to the intervention of the mysterious man.
"Second Young Master, you violated the clan rules and used hidden weapons. Logically, you should be disqualified from the competition." Xia Lin walked up to the gloomy-faced Second Young Master and said in a cold tone.
The Second Young Master covered his still aching wound and glared at Xia Lin fiercely, "Who do you think you are? How dare you teach me a lesson?"
"Miss Xia Lin is right, Second Young Master, you really went too far this time."
The foreign butler who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke. Although his tone was calm, it carried an unquestionable majesty.
"Even you dare to teach me a lesson?" The second young master was furious, but he did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the butler from another family. After all, the butler from another family was his father's confidant, and even the chief elder had to respect him.
"Second Young Master, calm down." The butler, who was not from another family, glanced at the Second Young Master calmly, then turned to the crowd and said loudly, "I will report today's events to the Patriarch truthfully. As for how to deal with it, please be patient and wait for the Patriarch's decision."
The words of the foreign steward seemed fair, but they held a hidden meaning. He knew that, with the patriarch's character, he would never let anyone who violated the clan rules go unpunished, even if that person was his own son.
Sure enough, upon hearing the words of the foreign housekeeper, the second young master's face turned pale. He knew that he had really gotten into trouble this time.
In the crowd, some people who had originally supported the Second Young Master fell silent, no longer daring to speak for him. They all knew that if the Patriarch became enraged, the consequences would be disastrous.
The mysterious man hid in the shadows, taking in all of this. A sneer appeared on his lips, and everything was going according to his plan.
On the fighting stage, Ren Xiaoyao watched everything unfold before him, and a sudden realization dawned on him. He knew that this competition was no longer a simple internal family feud, but a power struggle that depended on the fate of his family.
He took a deep breath and looked at the second young master opposite him with a firm gaze. He knew that the real battle had just begun.
"Come on, Second Young Master, let's continue." Ren Xiaoyao gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and a strong fighting spirit emanated from him.
