The spectators roared with shock.
“What?!”
“Ten exchanges?!”
“Did I mishear?”
Long Chen dared to claim that he could beat Feng Xinglie in just ten moves? Wasn’t that too arrogant?
Although Feng Xinglie had been defeated by Zi Yan, a major part of that was due to Zi Yan playing with his mind. Her provocations had caused Feng Xinglie to be in a berserk state the entire time. That resulted in him not properly controlling his power, leading to his defeat. Otherwise, it was obvious that Feng Xinglie’s power was at the peak. If Zi Yan had not used that kind of trick, it was difficult to say who would have won.
Furthermore, it was also obvious that Feng Xinglie had just made a breakthrough. His aura was extremely condensed. He could be considered a different person compared to ten days ago; who knew just how many times stronger he was compared to then? And now, Long Chen wanted to beat him in just ten exchanges?
“What is this? Is Long Chen using psychological tricks on him to antagonize him again?”
People quickly made up a guess. This was the only possibility that made sense.
“You are too arrogant!” Feng Xinglie’s expression changed. He had never been looked down on this badly.
“Maybe you should ask around, but I’ve been this way for a long time. Don’t be so surprised. Just tell me whether you accept it or not. If you don’t, I’ll pack up and leave right now!” said Long Chen indifferently.
Long Chen knew that Feng Xinglie’s order was to drag the first academy into a challenge between ten disciples. But he had done something utterly incomprehensible to Feng Xinglie and tossed out a direct challenge, catching him entirely off guard. All their preparations were now useless.
Furthermore, after he’d just called Feng Xinglie a coward, how could the latter back down from such a challenge? But if he didn’t, their plan would be ruined. The Heven’s Peer Dao Sect’s reputation would also plummet. The prestige they had gained from revealing these three hundred million elites would instantly shatter.
“I know you can’t make the decision yourself. Go ahead and ask your master if this is acceptable!” Long Chen waved him off.
Feng Xinglie’s face alternated between white and red. He truly did not dare to make this decision himself. He had to get Qi Yunao’s permission.
But since he still didn’t have Qi Yunao’s orders, Feng Xinglie clenched his teeth and said, “If I win, you have to hand over the karmic luck dragon manifestation. But what if I lose?”
“Then… nothing. You lose, you lose. I also won’t kill you. I’m only doing this to vent some of my anger, so you don’t need to worry your little head about it!” said Long Chen.
“You…” Feng Xinglie almost exploded. Long Chen really was beyond simply arrogant. He didn’t view him as a threat at all! The stakes were so large on his part, but he didn’t ask the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect to pay any price? Just how arrogant was that?
“Alright, then let us fight!” shouted Feng Xinglie. He directly stepped forward. Clearly, he had received orders.
Long Chen smirked. With such advantageous conditions, if Qi Yunao didn’t dare to gamble, then he really would be worthless. The Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect would never wash away such a stain on their reputation.
Everyone was excited. This was the clash between peak experts they’d been waiting for! The spectators hadn’t expected it to come so quickly. The only thing that would have made it better was if there really had been ten challenges between other people first, and this had been the cherry on top of the cake.
“Young master…” Miao Yin looked at Long Chen worriedly. She wasn’t worried about Long Chen beating Feng Xinglie, but was it really possible to do so in just ten exchanges?
Long Chen gave a smile and waved his hand at her, telling her to relax. He then walked towards Feng Xinglie.
Miao Yin made the battleship slowly retreat to maintain a safe distance. If they were sucked into the battlefield, it would cost many resources to defend against the shockwaves.
As the two of them walked closer, ripples suddenly spread through the void. Rumbling sounds rang out as these ripples clashed against each other. The sky changed color.
“Heavens! It’s just their auras clashing, and it’s still causing such a reaction! We were definitely right to come here!” one person shouted excitedly.
As a result, he saw countless people cast furious glares at him from the vicinity. He hastily sat down properly, not daring to make another sound.
“Long Chen, last time you hid like a tortoise in its shell. You even had a woman fight for you. You only had the courage to challenge me after breaking through to the late stage?” Feng Xinglie’s gaze locked onto Long Chen. His double pupils flickered with a strange light.
“Child, don’t anger me lightly. Otherwise, you will have a miserable time!” Long Chen simply smiled at him. This fellow’s provocations really were childish.
Seeing that he was unable to inflame Long Chen caused Feng Xinglie to feel angry instead. He suddenly felt like whether it was in front of Long Chen or Zi Yan, he was only a hopping clown!
“Ignorant fool, you will pay the price for your foolishness!”
BOOM!
Feng Xinglie let out a wild roar and the divine rune on his forehead lit up. The pressure of the Grand Dao instantly made the spectators shiver as a giant figure appeared behind him.
The spectators’ souls quivered when this figure appeared. Its terrifying Sovereign might enveloped them, completely ignoring the distance between them.
“Heavens, what a terrifying pressure!”
For many of them, this was their first time feeling such a pressure. They felt like their hearts were about to beat out of their chests. It felt like there was only a piece of paper between them and death.
“This is your Grand Dao power? I’m disappointed. Let me show you my Grand Dao power!” Long Chen snorted, and suddenly, the Three Thousand Worlds appeared behind him. His Heaven and Earth runes appeared in his eyes. As the ten thousand Daos resonated with him, three blurry images appeared behind him.
“Heavens, is that a triple manifestation?!”
Startled cries rang out. A triple manifestation was something only a peak Divine Sovereign could condense, wasn’t it? Long Chen was only a late-stage Sovereign Lord, so how could he even have a heaven-earth law manifestation?
“No, that’s not a heaven-earth law manifestation! It’s a projection of the Grand Dao!” Some people quickly noticed the differences. After all, even the spectators were all experts.
These three images behind Long Chen were not physical manifestations. As for the giant figure behind Feng Xinglie, although it looked like a solid body, it was also not a law manifestation, but a manifestation produced by that Grand Dao rune.
“From the Dao, one gave rise to two, two gave rise to three, and three gave rise to all things. Follow the natural path and remain human, defy it and become immortal. The Grand Dao can only be reached by defying the natural order. Invert the flow so all things turn into three, three turn into two, and two return into one. Your master gave you this ‘one’ so that you could skip the first two steps and directly achieve the Dao. Well, he tried. That is nothing more than a fantasy!” said Long Chen, eyeing the figure behind Feng Xinglie and observing its aura of the Grand Dao.
The reason Long Chen wanted to fight Feng Xinglie was to personally see his Grand Dao essence. Now, he had managed to see through some of its secrets.
“All you can do is spout bullshit! Die!”
Feng Xinglie looked like an angry lion. He formed hand seals, and that giant figure opened its mouth, spitting out a blood-colored sword covered in Grand Dao runes that flew straight at Long Chen.
“Heaven-Ending Slash!”
The giant blood-colored sword shook heaven and earth. It reached Long Chen almost instantly.
“Heaven-Earth law empowerment! Defend!”
Long Chen raised a hand. The Three Thousand Worlds ignited. He raised a single finger, and a tiny Taiji diagram appeared on his fingertip. Grand Dao runes condensed into the Defend character on top of it.
BOOM!
The giant sword crumbled with an explosive sound. Long Chen remained standing there with his finger pointed out, not a hair out of place.
The surrounding experts all gasped.
