Chapter 548: Chapter 298: Setting up a Challenge Stage in Front of the Thousand Martial Hall_1
In front of the Thousand Martial Hallâs mountain gate, a great battle was erupting. As soon as the news broke out, an increasing number of martial artists arrived to watch.
All with faces of amazement.
Challenging them right at the Thousand Martial Hallâs mountain gate, who gave him such courage?
âSword God Xu Yan? The one who slew Yu Changfeng in Luo State?â
âNot merely Yu Changfeng â even the Sword Sectâs Master was killed.â
âAre all Loose Cultivators this bold nowadays? Challenging directly at the Thousand Martial Hallâs mountain gate, where lies the dignity of the Transcendent Spirit Sect?â
âHiss! Xu Yan is so strong and his Sword Dao seems unusual.â
âIndeed, I feel itâs much more formidable than that of the Thousand Martial Hall.â
The watching martial artists were engrossed in discussion.
On the peak of the Thousand Martial Hall mountain, the Thousand Martial Lord and elders were all grim-faced, observing the scene below.
According to plan, the prodigies of the Transcendent Spirit Sect would descend the mountain, sweeping over every prodigy in sight, demonstrating the might of the Transcendent Spirit Sect and then suppressing the prodigies of the All Ages Alliance with a considerable advantage.
They had the confidence and assurance to do so.
Even knowing that the All Ages Alliance had the support of the formidable Wu Tianan, they believed the deep-rooted strength of the Transcendent Spirit Sect was not ordinary.
They had already started devoting more resources to cultivate their prodigies, determined to gain the final victory in the competition.
But now, someone had come to challenge them directly.
This was something they had never expected.
âWhat kind of Sword Dao is this?â
An elder of the Thousand Martial Hall asked in a deep voice.
The Sword Dao he practiced was of the Thousand Martial Hallâs, but on witnessing Xu Yanâs Sword Dao, he felt an inexplicable restraint on his sword.
âYou too, canât see any clues?â
The Thousand Martial Lord asked solemnly.
âI feel a sense of shame from his sword. It seems that my painstaking Sword Dao practice is nothing more than a childâs trick!â
The elder spoke with a grave expression.
âHow is that possible!â
The remaining elders were all staggered.
The one who had spoken was the number one practitioner of the Thousand Martial Hallâs Sword Dao, the contemporary Sword Master Elder!
âI too, have the same feeling!â
Another elder, who was a Sword Dao practitioner, also spoke with a heavy tone.
âThis young man has definitely stolen our Thousand Martial Hallâs Sword Dao!â
An elder with glittering eyes opened his mouth maliciously.
âHuang Liang went to Yuzhou because of this, and ended up dead!â
Someone reminded.
âHeâs already at our gate, whatâs there to fear?â
âBut, the rules of the prodigy competitionâŠâ
âIs he a prodigy of the All Ages Alliance? If not, why care? Can the Wu clan come to the rescue of this loose cultivator?â
âLord, whatâs your opinion?â
The arguing members turned to the Thousand Martial Lord to ask.
The Thousand Martial Lord pondered for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, âThe time is not ripe. Moreover, Iâm afraid Xu Yan has some connection with Wu Tianan. Otherwise, where would such an extraordinary Sword Dao come from?
âYou have to know that Wu Tianan, once he loses his weakness and goes insane, we might not be able to hold him off.
âWhen the Divine Bridge is about to descend, itâs not too late to make our move. Then weâll see what Wu Tianan can do!â
The elder in charge of the swords agreed, âYouâre right, Lord. The time is not ripe!â
âThen how should we deal with Xu Yan?â
An elder frowned.
âAmong the seven sects and eight families of the three countries, isnât there a single prodigy who can handle Xu Yan? Let them make the move.â
The Thousand Martial Lord spoke coldly.
The remaining elders nodded in agreement.
If a prodigy of the Thousand Martial Hall went into battle directly, wouldnât it devalue their status?
Set a threshold first â only after Xu Yan has defeated all the prodigies of the seven sects and eight families of the three countries can he talk about challenging the prodigies of the Thousand Martial Hall!
At the foot of the Thousand Martial Hall mountain, the battle came to an end. Xu Yan swung his sword, and in an instant, the Sword Intent formed a series of sword shapes, overpowering the martial artist from the Thousand Martial Hall.
The cycle of life and death materialized with the swing of the sword. The martial artistâs head fell as the sword encircled his neck.
The Sudden Wind Sword Intent swept like a storm, the divine soul dispersed, and the body turned into ashes.
Having slain another martial artist from the Thousand Martial Hall, Xu Yan held his sword sternly, contemptuously staring at the Thousand Martial Hallâs mountain gate, and spoke in a cold voice, âAre all prodigies of the Thousand Martial Hall mere cowards?â
The watching martial artists were utterly shocked. The Thousand Martial Hallâs face had been slapped relentlessly, yet they didnât thunderously suppress this provocateur?
Could it be that thereâs some inside story to this Prodigy Competition, so much so that even the dignified Transcendent Spirit Sectâs Thousand Martial Hall does not dare to defy it?
âXu Yan!â
An elder of the Thousand Martial Hall stepped forward. His momentum was overwhelming, as if the Great Power of Heaven and Earth had already converged on him. A supreme being!
Xu Yan slightly narrowed his eyes, ready to flee at any moment. The elderâs power was somewhat stronger than Huang Liangâs. There was no way he could win this fight.
âSo, the Thousand Martial Hall has no more prodigies left, just a bunch of old guys like you?â
Xu Yan stared defiantly at the other side.
âSo arrogant!â
âIâve heard that Xu Yan is arrogant, and seeing it today, itâs indeed the case!â
The crowd of onlookers all drew in a breath of cold air.
This was a supreme being, but Xu Yan was dismissing him so lightly.
Song Zeng was boiling with anger inside but suppressed it. Speaking coldly, he said, âOur Thousand Martial Hall, the Transcendent Spirit Sect holds a distinguished position. Our sectâs prodigies are not something a mere Loose Cultivator like you can challenge.
âAfter youâve defeated all the prodigies of the Thousand Martial Hall, then you can come challenge our sectâs prodigies. Otherwise, youâre not qualified!â
Even though they were attacked and two martial artists were killed, granting them a loss of some face, but to allow their prodigies to engage in battle would devalue them. Would it not?
If they were not bound by the prodigy competition, would they allow Xu Yan to rant at their gate? They would have slapped him to death a long time ago.
