"But, teacher, your strength …"
Hearing that his teacher was going to fight, Zheng Yang panicked.
His teacher was only at Dimension Sundering realm primary stage whereas the head of the Zhang clan was able to fend off Wang Ying's puppet with his sword qi from such a long distance away. The other party's strength was definitely beyond that of a Saint 9-dan cultivator!
With such a huge gap between the two of them, how was he supposed to fight them?
After assimilating the Pavilion Master Seal and utilizing the droplets of water, Zhang Xuan's fighting prowess had soared. However, he did not show it on the surface. On top of that, there was also the unique nature of his Heaven's Path zhenqi, so even he was unaware that his teacher's fighting prowess had undergone a massive transformation in just a few short breaths.
"I can suppress my cultivation to the same level as Zhang Shi, and we'll just have a duel of swordsmanship.
I won't hurt you … "Knowing what Zhang Xuan was worried about, Heung Kensei chuckled." If I lose, the Zhang clan can apologize to me and let bygones be bygones. However, if I win, I hope that Zhang Shi will honor his promise! "
Previously, before the duel with the Zhang clan, Zhang Xuan had said that he would join the Zhang clan as an elder if he lost.
"That's simple!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. "However, since it's a duel, I won't bully you. There's no need for you to suppress your cultivation. Just bring out your full strength!"
"Bring out my full strength?"
Heung Kensei was taken aback.
Given his strength, even Pavilion Master Ren Qingyuan would have trouble dealing with him if he were to go all out. Yet, the other party actually wanted him to go all out?
"Is that fellow out of his mind?"
Ren Qingyuan, Zhang Wuheng, and the others were perplexed as well.
They had already witnessed the other party's strength with their own eyes. Other than his many means and the fact that he had a powerful student, there was nothing special about him. For him to ask Heung Kensei to go all out … wasn't he courting death?
"That's right!" Zhang Xuan nodded. "Furthermore, I'll be fighting you with a single hand. If I move my body in the slightest or use my other hand, I'll be considered to have lost!"
"…"
Heung Kensei's face twitched.
There were two reasons why he challenged Zhang Xuan to a duel. Firstly, he wanted to see if Zhang Xuan was really his son. Secondly, he wanted to resolve the grudge between the Zhang family and Zhang Xuan better. If he were to make a move personally, he would be able to control the severity of his attack. At the very least, he wouldn't be able to injure Zhang Xuan severely!
It was one thing for the other party to not appreciate his kindness, but to even spout such arrogant words …
"Like you …"
Heung Kensei was about to explode in anger when he heard his wife's telepathic message. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. "Am I that arrogant too?"
"You were much more arrogant than him when you were younger," Sword Saint Meng remarked with a smile.
"This …"
Scratching his head, Heung Kensei looked at Zhang Xuan helplessly and said, "Fine. Since that's your request, I'll gladly oblige!"
With that said, his body swayed and he descended from the sky.
As soon as he landed on the ground, his wife's voice sounded in his ears again. "If you dare to hurt a single hair on my son, don't even think about getting into my bed!"
"I …"
Heung Kensei's lips twitched, and he nearly burst into tears.
Who did he offend?
Could it be that the other party had already predicted this, and that was why he said that he would sit still and challenge him to a duel with a single hand?
"Teacher …"
In contrast to Zhang Xuan's dismay, Zheng Yang, Wei Ruyan, and the others looked at him worriedly.
They knew that their teacher was only at Dimension Sundering realm primary stage. If the head of the Zhang clan did not suppress his cultivation, how could he possibly win?
There was no way he could win at all!
"Don't worry, when has my teacher ever fought a battle that he has no confidence in? Since he dares to say such words, he must have a way out of this! "
Yuan Tao said with a smile.
"That's true …"
Hearing those words, Zheng Yang nodded in agreement.
Wei Ruyan had joined the Zhang Clan late, so there were many things that she was unaware of. However, Zheng Yang had followed his teacher from the very start, so he was well aware of his teacher's temperament and personality.
When had his teacher ever suffered a setback before?
Those who had fought with him had always ended up suffering a crushing defeat.
"Have you all noticed that my teacher's aura seems to have changed? I could still sense the depth of his aura a moment ago, but now, it feels like a boundless ocean. No matter how I look at it, I can't see the end of it …"
Wang Ying suddenly interjected.
Zheng Yang and Wei Ruyan hurriedly turned their gazes over, and they could sense that even though their teacher was still seated on the spot, the aura emanating from his body was many times stronger than before. It was as if he had become a completely different person.
"Teacher might have achieved a breakthrough again …"
Lu Chong said.
As a soul oracle, Zhang Xuan was able to discern the situation even more clearly. If it was a moment ago that his teacher could easily defeat the other party, the overwhelming pressure that he was emanating right now made him not even dare to approach him.
Even though he had no idea why his teacher would undergo such a huge change within such a short period of time, as expected of his teacher, he felt that it was only natural for him to do so.
"Since that's the case, let's wait and see how teacher will teach the head of the Zhang clan a lesson!"
Only then did Zheng Yang feel at ease. He chuckled lightly.
"Draw your sword!"
Remembering his wife's instructions, Heung Kensei took in a deep breath, and with a flick of his wrist, a sword appeared in his grasp.
"If I were to draw my sword, it would be easy for me to injure you. Since this is a friendly spar, I won't use my sword …"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes calmly.
"You aren't going to use your sword? How are you going to compete with me? "
Heung Kensei staggered, and he felt an urge to pull his hair out.
Even though he was a show-off when he was younger, he wasn't as arrogant as this.
This was truly a slap to the face!
If it had been anyone else, they would have surely flown into a frenzy, but the other party … couldn't bring himself to do so.
Even though he couldn't be certain that the other party was his son, he had a feeling that there was an inseparable relationship between the two of them.
"Not bad. Let's have a duel like this …"
Oblivious to the other party's thoughts, Zhang Xuan flicked his finger, and a surge of sword qi immediately burst forth. It was three chi long, and it emanated a cold glint.
"Alright, you must be careful …"
Sword Saint Xing harrumphed coldly as he raised his sword and thrust it right toward Zhang Xuan, who was seated on the ground. "You're right!"
He had only used a tenth of his strength this time, but it was filled with Sword Intent. As soon as the sword appeared, it seemed to have pierced through space, appearing right in front of Zhang Xuan's glabella.
From the looks of it, if he didn't dodge, even if he managed to survive, his zhenqi would be severed, rendering him immobile for the time being.
"Not a bad swordsmanship!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
As expected of the head of the Zhang clan, the number one swordsman in the Zhang clan. With just a single move, he had already displayed his prowess. Zhang Xu and the others weren't even on the same level as him.
Instead of dodging, Zhang Xuan remained seated on the spot. While his left hand continued to reconstruct Zhao Ya's meridians, he raised his right hand and tapped it lightly.
Like a rainbow, the sword qi pierced through space and time in an instant.
This move was identical to the one that Sword Saint Xing had executed earlier, be it in terms of its movement or its starting stance. If Zhang Xuan had not known that the two of them were enemies, he would have thought that they were just sparring with one another.
However, even though it was the same move, Zhang Xuan was able to strike first. From the looks of it, before Heung Kensei's sword could reach Zhang Xuan's glabella, his zhenqi would be neutralized first.
"This …"
Heung Kensei's body jolted in disbelief. "How is this possible?"
