Jiang Lai's questioning of Nie Tian's qualification to be the Sword Chieftain caused the atmosphere to fall into a deathly stifling silence.
Everyone held their breaths and did not speak. Their eyes flickered as though they were waiting for a great show to begin.
Originally, everyone thought that the Evil Peak Sword Competition would end after the quarterfinals. But now, it seemed like the real show was just about to begin.
Jiang Lai's words were very awkward.
But if one thought about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense.
In a battle between swordsmen, the Sword Dao's strength was the most important.
However, most people knew that Jiang Lai was questioning Nie Tian's qualifications because he did not want to hand over the Ink Jade Dragon Sword.
But Jiang Lai's status was special. He was the Alliance Master of the Xingtian Alliance. Therefore, everyone had to consider his words carefully.
Although they were very disdainful of Jiang Lai's actions, they did not dare to show it or say it out loud.
Gongsun Sheng had an ugly expression after hearing Jiang Lai's words. He had never imagined that a grand Alliance Master, a peak expert of the nine major domains, would be so shameless.
After thinking for a moment, Gongsun Sheng said, "Alliance Master Jiang, do you think that because Nie Tian used the power of his primordial spirit, he cannot obtain the position of Sword Chief?"
"Yes!" Jiang Lai nodded and replied loudly. His attitude instantly became unyielding.
"This President feels that Alliance Master Jiang's words are very reasonable. How can a martial artist who uses other powers to defeat his opponent be worthy of the position of Sword Chief?" Another voice spoke up at this time. It was none other than the Holy Assembly's Vice President, Nangong Duxiu.
Everyone was stunned. They did not expect Nangong Duxiu to stand up for Jiang Lai at this time.
Jiang Lai and Nangong Duxiu, the two people with the highest status, stood up at the same time to question Nie Tian. This made the atmosphere even more strange.
Everyone knew that these two were deliberately making things difficult, but no one dared to speak up.
"You …" Gongsun Sheng was stunned. His gaze swept across Jiang Lai and Nangong Duxiu, and his expression turned gloomy.
"Hahaha, impressive!" At this moment, Nie Tian suddenly burst into laughter and said in a loud voice, "One is the sectmaster of the Xingtian Alliance, and the other is the vice president of the Holy Parliament. I can't believe that two people with such high statuses can be so shameless.
Shameless!
Nie Tian was not polite at all. He openly insulted Jiang Lai and Duxiu in public!
These two people had already gone this far, so Nie Tian naturally couldn't tolerate it anymore.
"Stinking brat, pay attention to who you're talking to!" Jiang Lai's face sank after being called shameless by Nie Tian in front of everyone. He spoke in a Cold tone.
However, he still maintained his dignity and did not attack directly.
"Brat, do you know that the word 'shameless' you just said is enough for you to die a hundred times?" Nangong Duxiu became even more furious and directly threatened Nie Tian.
Nie Tian wasn't afraid in the slightest in the face of the two experts' threats. He smiled Coldly and said: "Sirs, you dare to do shameless things, but don't dare to bear the reputation of being shameless?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Lai frowned and said in a Cold voice, "Kid from the Nie clan, don't think that I won't dare to kill you. If you think I'm shameless, then just say it. "
"Alright." Nie Tian faintly smiled and his gaze swept across everyone. He said: "As Alliance Master Jiang said, the Evil Peak Sword Seminar is indeed a grand meeting of the sword path. However, which one of the participating swordsmen isn't using their martial power?"
"I believe that everyone can clearly see that many of the participants are even using their bloodline power. The strength of the sword path is originally supported by the cultivation of the martial path. Does using my Yuan Spirit mean that I'm not a swordsman? "
"If that's the case, then I suggest that all swordsmen cripple their own martial power and become pure swordsmen with peace of mind. Only then will you be qualified to take the title of Sword Chief! "
As soon as Nie Tian's words fell, the crowd became restless.
"Nie Tian is right. The Evil Peak Sword Seminar is a grand meeting of the sword path, but it has never prohibited swordsmen from using other powers."
"That's right. The Evil Peak Sword Seminar has always been a grand meeting of the sword path. Why can't a swordsman become a Sword Chief if he uses his Yuan Spirit?"
"There must be someone with ulterior motives who doesn't want Nie Tian to become the Sword Chief."
Finally, someone couldn't help but start whispering to each other.
Jiang Lai's expression instantly turned gloomy when he heard the crowd's discussion. He glared at Nie Tian and said in a Cold voice: "Brat, you are twisting words and forcing logic!"
"Yes!" Nangong Duxiu echoed: "Little bastard, no matter how glib your tongue is, don't even think about becoming the Sword Chief today."
Nie Tian looked at the two's auras and saw that they were about to fight. He couldn't help but smile Cold and say: "From the looks of it, are you two desperate?"
"You're courting death!" Jiang Lai's eyes turned cold. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. With an angry roar, his aura surged and turned into a massive pressure that pressed down on Nie Tian.
Nie Tian's eyes trembled. He didn't expect Jiang Lai to be so shameless to attack him in front of so many people.
He had used up a lot of his energy and couldn't withstand Jiang Lai's pressure.
The vast pressure covered the sky and the earth. The terrifying aura crushed everything.
"Stop!" At that critical moment, a voice rang out. Shortly after, a terrifying sword aura appeared and blocked the terrifying pressure in the air.
Gongsun Shengji's figure appeared next to Nie Tian and coldly stared at Jiang Lai. He said in a deep voice: "Alliance Master Jiang, you are going too far!"
"So what?" Jiang Lai was taken aback. He said with a gloomy expression, "Gongsun Shengji, are you going to make an enemy out of me?"
A threat, a blatant threat!
Gongsun Shengji's expression changed. He didn't expect Jiang Lai to be this arrogant. His eyes darkened as he said: "Alliance Master Jiang, whether or not Nie Tian is qualified to be the Sword Chief is my Divine Martial Sword Pagoda's business. It has nothing to do with you. I hereby announce that Nie Tian is the Sword Chief of this year's Evil Peak Sword Competition! "
Jiang Lai's eyes trembled as he released a murderous aura from his body. He growled, "Gongsun Shengji, I will ask you again. Are you going to make an enemy out of me?"
Everyone felt the murderous aura from Jiang Lai. They couldn't help but tremble as their eyes became heated.
It seemed like Jiang Lai was really going to turn hostile!
Jiang Lai and Gongsun Shengji. One was a top expert in the nine territories, and the other was the number one swordsman in the nine territories. If these two were to fight, it would be a great show.
Gongsun Shengji was also furious. He shouted, "Jiang Lai, I, Gongsun Shengji, want to make an enemy out of you. What can you do?"
His domineering voice resounded in the sky, displaying Gongsun Shengji's anger.
Since Jiang Lai was being so aggressive, Gongsun Shengji had to fight with his life on the line.
"Good, very good!" Jiang Lai was stunned at first. Then, he smirked and said coldly, "It seems like I will have to kill today!"
