Chapter 654

Hypocritical Idiot

At this moment, Lv Yitao's face was extremely solemn. He took a step forward and the aura on his body rose to the peak. His right fist suddenly punched out and a terrifying power formed a terrifying spiral around his body.

Boom!

A terrifying sound like thunder rang out. Lv Yitao's fist arrived in an instant and fiercely hit the drum. An intense and melodious sound of the drum resounded and a terrifying pressure erupted from the drum, causing Lv Yitao's face to change.

Deng deng deng!

The crisp sound of footsteps suddenly rang out. Lv Yitao continuously retreated until he was barely able to stabilize his body after more than ten steps. A trace of cherry red blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that the eighth strike is my limit!"

Lv Yitao bitterly smiled. The [Morning Bell and Evening Drum] was indeed not simple. Even he could only beat it eight times. He really did not know who could beat it ten times.

"Perhaps the three of them have a chance!"

Lv Yitao's gaze shifted and landed on the Moon Embracing Pavilion. He saw Zhuowen, who was carrying a green coffin, the indifferent Wen Aoxue, and the indifferent Huangfu Wuji. He knew that only these three people could beat the war drum ten times.

"To be able to beat it eight times, this Lv Yitao's strength is not bad. After all, it is not easy to beat the [Morning Bell and Evening Drum] ten times!"

After the eighth strike of the bell ended, the surroundings burst into an uproar. Although Lv Yitao was not able to last until the end, it was already commendable.

With Qiu Shaoyun and Lv Yitao taking the lead, the other geniuses in the Moon Embracing Pavilion were also eager to give it a try. They rubbed their shoulders and walked onto the stage to beat the war drum.

Dong dong dong!

The bell continued to ring. Most of the geniuses in the Moon Embracing Pavilion went up to beat the war drum in an orderly manner. Most of them were able to beat it five times. However, the highest result was maintained by Lv Yitao. Eight strikes was considered the highest result.

This result caused the crowd around the Moon Embracing Pavilion to be somewhat disappointed. There were even some people who shook their heads.

"Let me do it!"

Finally, Wen Aoxue, who had been standing beside the Profound Ice Man with a cold expression, slowly stood up. Her cold voice resounded around the Moon Embracing Pavilion.

Wen Aoxue's words immediately caused an uproar. The other geniuses might not be able to attract the attention of the crowd, but this cold woman had no choice but to attract the attention of the crowd.

This was because Wen Aoxue was ranked 66th on the Green Emperor List. She was the strongest person in the eight regions. there was no need to doubt her strength.

"Wen Aoxue's finally made a move!

I wonder how many strikes she will be able to beat. "

"Wen Aoxue is extremely powerful. It is said that he has reached the early stage of the Ultimate Seven-Wheel Emperor Realm.

Wen Aoxue's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd. Some of the audience members who were originally yawning also focused their attention on Wen Aoxue's proud figure at this moment.

Whoosh!

Wen Aoxue stepped on the air and floated onto the stage. Her snow-white hair draped over her shoulders. Her cold face had actually condensed traces of frost. Not only that, but the area around her was like a world of ice and snow.

Even Huangfu Wuji's and Mu Xue's gazes converged on this woman who was emitting a cold aura from head to toe. There was a sliver of expectation in their eyes as they waited to see if the number one person in the eight great counties would be able to beat the great drum ten times.

Wen Aoxue extended her snow-white hand and flicked her finger. A terrifying ice energy spread out. Even the air seemed to have solidified as it struck the drum.

Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong!

In an instant, five loud and clear drum beats resounded continuously around the stage. They were like a great bell, distant and resonant.

"There are actually five drum beats at the same time. Wen Aoxue might have to bear the terrifying rebound force of five drum beats at once. I wonder if she can withstand it?"

Looking at Wen Aoxue's arrogant actions, many of the surrounding people cried out in surprise. One rebound force was already terrifying enough. This woman actually planned to withstand five at the same time. She was crazy and arrogant enough!

Wen Ao Xue's expression was still cold, and she was not moved at all. She stretched out her jade-like hand in the air and suddenly pointed. Instantly, a terrifying icy energy spread out and turned into an oval ice mirror that was as tall as a person.

Boom!

The five rebound forces instantly bombarded the ice mirror. Only a hissing sound could be heard. The bright ice mirror was as solid as iron and was not damaged at all. However, the terrifying rebound force was completely offset by the ice mirror and turned into nothingness.

"The five rebound forces were all blocked. This Wen Aoxue is indeed terrifying."

Looking at Wen Aoxue, who was like a boulder and did not move at all, the surrounding people were in an uproar. Blocking five rebound forces at the same time was indeed shocking.

After blocking the five rebound forces, Wen Aoxue's body did not move at all. She gently stepped forward and flicked her finger again.

Dong! Dong!

Another three drumbeats sounded out at the same time, and three even more terrifying rebounding forces followed. At the same time, they acted on Wen Ao Xue's body. A terrifying pressure descended, and the stage actually shook violently, as if it was about to collapse.

A trace of seriousness finally appeared on Wen Aoxue's cold face. Wen Aoxue gently waved her jade-like hand and countless ice energy condensed in front of her, forming a huge ice wall.

Boom!

The three rebounding forces smashed onto the ice wall. Instantly, the seemingly indestructible ice wall began to violently tremble. Wen Ao Xue's pretty face also paled a little. However, the ice wall ultimately managed to block the rebounding forces.

"She has struck the eighth time. It will be the ninth time soon." The crowd began to look forward to it.

Wen Aoxue's face was as serious as ice. Her jade-like hand flicked her finger again and the ice energy condensed to the extreme. Her snow-white hair danced in the wind and actually condensed into ice frost. At this moment, it actually looked demonic and beautiful.

Dong!

In the end, Wen Aoxue struck the ninth time. Instantly, within the Morning Bell and Evening Drum, an extremely terrifying pressure burst forth. It formed a spiral shape and fiercely crushed down. The entire stage actually trembled once again, and traces of cracks appeared.

Puchi!

Under such terrifying pressure, Wen Aoxue actually spat out a mouthful of red blood. However, her body was like a pine tree that stood proudly and actually forcefully withstood the rebound force of the ninth drumbeat.

"She has blocked the ninth drumbeat. Wen Aoxue might be able to do the tenth!"

The crowd began to look forward to it. Although Wen Aoxue's current condition was not good, she had already struck the ninth drumbeat and was extremely close to the tenth. Everyone was looking forward to Wen Aoxue's tenth drumbeat.

Wen Aoxue took a deep breath and gently took a step back. She also knew that this was a crucial moment and there was absolutely no room for any mistakes.

"The last one."

Wen Aoxue pointed her jade-like hand and an even more terrifying ice energy surged out. With a flick of her finger, the terrifying energy condensed and directly hit the drum.

Boom!

Before the energy arrived, the Morning Bell and Evening Drum actually emitted an even more terrifying pressure. This pressure had almost reached an unprecedented level. The ice energy that was shot out from Wen Aoxue's fingertip was actually forcefully blocked and then shot towards Wen Aoxue.

At this moment, Wen Aoxue's face was incomparably pale and there was a smear of fear in her eyes. This ice energy was Wen Aoxue's most powerful attack and it had almost consumed most of her energy. At this moment, she no longer had any extra energy to resist. She knew that if she was hit by this energy, she would definitely die.

Whoosh!

The instant the rebound force came into effect, a figure pulled Wen Aoxue over and with a shake of his sleeve, the rebound force was easily erased by this figure.

This person was the Region Lord of the Icebound County, the Profound Ice Old Man. At this moment, his face was extremely solemn and there was even a hint of anger on his face. Wen Aoxue was too reckless. She actually bet all of her energy on the tenth drumbeat. This was simply a joke with her life.

"Do what you can in the future. Do you understand?" The Profound Ice Old Man returned to the Moon Embracing Pavilion and put down Wen Aoxue as he sternly said.

"Yes!

Master, Aoxue knows she was wrong. "Wen Aoxue lowered her head and said in a soft voice.

The Profound Ice Old Man nodded and no longer pursued this matter. Instead, his eyes converged on the nearby Huangfu Wuji. He knew that if Wen Aoxue was unable to beat the Morning Bell and Evening Drum ten times, then there was only Huangfu Wuji who had a refined smile on his face.

Wen Aoxue's failure immediately caused the surrounding crowd to shake their heads and sigh. Wen Aoxue was the number one genius of the eight large counties, but even she had failed. Perhaps there was no one else in the eight large counties that could beat the Morning Bell and Evening Drum ten times. Perhaps only the top ten rankers of the Azure Emperor Proclamation of the Imperial Capital could possibly do so.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but gather on the window seat of the Moon Embracing Pavilion, where Huangfu Wuji had a scholarly smile on his face. Of all the young elites of the Moon Embracing Pavilion, only this Huangfu Wuji could accomplish such a feat.

As he received so much attention, the smile on Huangfu Wuji's face became even wider. He enjoyed being looked up at by so many people. This sort of high and mighty feeling made him feel as if everything was under his control.

He glanced at Mu Xue and said with a smile, "Miss Mu!

Do you plan on going up and giving it a try? "

Mu Xue glanced at Huangfu Wuji and shook her head. She lightly said, "I thank Your Highness the Second Prince for his good intentions, but I don't need it. I think that Your Highness the Second Prince should be able to beat it ten times."

Hearing Mu Xue's words, Huangfu Wuji's smile became even more brilliant. He said, "Miss Mu, please watch carefully. Wuji will beat the Morning Bell and Evening Drum for you, and will also present you with a song."

As he spoke, Huangfu Wuji slowly stood up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. This time, the Burning Heaven Sect's Saintess Mu Xue was present. No matter what, he had to perform well.

"What a hypocritical idiot!"

Just as Huangfu Wuji was about to jump onto the stage, a slightly mocking voice sounded out, causing the smile on Huangfu Wuji's face to freeze.

Huangfu Wuji frowned and turned his head to stare at the youth carrying the Azure Coffin. He coldly said, "I dare you to say that again!"

"Did I say anything about you?

Why are you responding to me? Or are you admitting that you are a hypocritical idiot? "
