Hu!
With a light shake of the tree root, the yellow sand disappeared, and the surroundings returned to normal. It was as if everything that had happened before was just a dream.
However, Bei Feng had completely disappeared, and could no longer be found.
"Bei Feng is dead?"
"His soul aura is gone, and his body has turned into yellow sand? How … how is this possible? "
"What happened?"
The teeth of the Otherworldly Demons clattered in fear.
Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, he still found it hard to believe.
In a one-on-one fight, Bei Feng's strength was definitely one of the strongest amongst them. Yet, despite his strength, he had been reduced to a pile of yellow sand in an instant. He did not even have the time to react at all … Just what in the world was that tree root?
How could it be so terrifying?
Sword Saints Xingmeng and the other master teachers were dumbfounded as well.
He had thought that Zhang Xuan would have a hard time fighting without using his Saint Beast, but who could have thought that his speed would be even faster than before!
In less than two breaths of time, it was over. Furthermore … it ended with Bei Feng's death!
"Xuan-er, this is …"
Sword Saint Meng asked.
"It's nothing. This is the small opportunity that I mentioned just now! It's just something that I tamed by chance! "Zhang Xuan smiled.
This tree root might look terrifying, but as long as one sealed one's aura and prevented its hair from entering one's body, one would be helpless against it. In terms of true fighting prowess, it was no match for the Five Great Divine Beasts.
"…" Sword Saint Meng felt a stifling sensation in her chest.
Small opportunity?
Five Sempiternal realm consummation beasts and a tree root that could easily kill a Sempiternal realm consummation cultivator … If these were all small fortuitous encounters, what could they be called?
It didn't count for anything!
"Come back!"
With a flick of his hand, Zhang Xuan tossed the root into his Myriad Anthive Nest. Then, he made a grabbing motion once more.
The Saint Blood Crystal and the Cold Moon Hook also flew over. "I won the bet, so I'm not going to stand on ceremony …"
After saying those words, Zhang Xuan didn't care about the crowd's reaction and kept it in his storage ring.
Rumble!
As soon as Zhang Xuan put away the items, he suddenly felt a frightening aura gushing toward him, as if a typhoon was approaching. Cracks appeared on the ground, and the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Pavilions trembled nonstop, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure.
"That is … an Ancient Sage!"
Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Xuan hurriedly raised his head to take a look.
The pressure came from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where it was coming from.
"That tree root might not be a saint beast, but it has a life of its own, so it can be considered a tamed beast. Is this really a fair duel?"
Huala!
A thunderous voice rang out. After that, Zhang Xuan felt his body tightening, as though someone's will had locked onto him. A powerful pressure bore down on him, wanting to crush him to death.
Creak! Creak!
The bones in his body creaked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Clearly, his earlier actions had gone against the rules, and the other party's Ancient Sage was unable to hold himself back anymore.
"Old Geezer Yu, just a moment ago, my juniors inquired about the usage of the root, and your juniors agreed to it. What's wrong? Are you trying to deny your loss? If you don't want to admit it, then let's fight! "
Boom!
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to reach his limit, a voice sounded once more. Following which, a force reminiscent of a spring breeze brushed against him, dispelling the pressure on him.
The two super experts clashed, and the surrounding space emitted the sound of water crashing against rocks, as if it would break at any moment.
"An Ancient Sage from the Zhang clan?"
Realizing who the other party was, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
From the looks of it, it seemed like the old ancestor of the Zhang clan had made a move.
"He only said that the root is tough, but he didn't say that it's capable of killing …" Old Geezer Yu's voice sounded.
"Since this is a duel, you should be prepared to be killed. Since the root is capable of killing, why can't the Hook of the Frigid Moon do the same?" The old ancestor of the Zhang clan harrumphed coldly. "A loss is a loss. If you can't afford to lose, don't hide like a tortoise. If you continue spouting nonsense, I'll drag you out and crush your balls, even if it means getting injured!"
"You …"
Old Geezer Yu's body trembled in anger, but it seemed like he was fearful of the old ancestor of the Zhang clan, so he decided to let the matter rest. "Humph, I won't hold it against you for the time being. I don't believe that you'll be able to guard that fellow forever. His name is Zhang Xuan, I'll remember it! We'll have plenty of time after we get out of the Temple of Confucius … Alright, let's not waste any more time here. Let's return and wait for the Hall of Great Accomplishment to open! "
"Yes!"
Hearing the old ancestor's words, the Otherworldly Demons hurriedly turned around.
"Wait a moment!"
Barely after taking two steps, Zhang Xuan suddenly heard a loud bellow, and he took a step forward.
"Why? Do you still want to have a duel? "
The faces of the Otherworldly Demons turned livid.
"That's right, I still want to have a duel! Don't worry, I won't use my beast or root this time. Do you dare to fight me? "
Being threatened and oppressed by the other party with his aura, when had Zhang Xuan ever suffered such humiliation?
It was not as if he had never beaten an Ancient Sage to death before. Since the other party dared to threaten him, very well … I'll kill your subordinates first!
By then, as long as that fellow dared to appear before me, I'll just have to smash another Ancient Sage with my Heaven's Path Scroll!
"Are you certain?"
One of the Otherworldly Demons asked.
"Why? If you don't even dare to fight me, you shouldn't have come to the Master Teacher Continent. Hurry up and scram!"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly.
"You …" The faces of the Otherworldly Demons turned livid as they clenched their fists tightly.
"Are you really not going to use your beast or root?"
Old Geezer Yu's voice sounded.
"I can swear on my identity as a master teacher that I'll only use my own strength and my own weapon. It can't be that you're afraid that you won't even allow me to use my weapon, right?" Zhang Xuan raised his head proudly, completely unfazed by Old Geezer Yu's identity as an Ancient Sage. "If you won't even allow me to use my weapon, just pretend that I didn't say anything!"
"Humph! Of course we can use our weapons in a duel!"
Old Geezer Yu harrumphed coldly.
His subordinates had also used their weapons earlier, but it was not much of a boost to their fighting prowess.
"That's good. Do you dare to have a duel with me?" Zhang Xuan raised his finger and said, "If you dare to back down, I'll challenge all of them at once. In other words, they can take turns fighting me, or they can come at me all at once. I, Zhang Xuan, am not a member of the Zhang clan if I so much as frown!"
"Well said! As expected of the men of our Zhang clan! "
The old ancestor of the Zhang clan remarked with a hint of praise in his voice. "Old Geezer Yu, it can't be that you're afraid?"
"You …"
Not expecting to be outmaneuvered by a mere Aureate Body realm cultivator, Old Geezer Yu was so furious that he nearly exploded on the spot. "Very well, as you wish. Not only do I want a duel, I want a Life-and-Death Duel as well! In other words, we'll fight to the death. Do you dare to agree? "
He was truly enraged this time around.
The dignity of an Ancient Sage was not to be trifled with. Yet, this fellow had provoked him time and time again, and this had already infuriated him.
That fellow's tamed beasts and tree roots were formidable, but his fighting prowess could only be considered mediocre. He did not believe that he would still be unable to kill him with so many of his clansmen!
Knowing that Old Geezer Yu was intending to kill him, the old ancestor of the Zhang clan harrumphed coldly. However, just as he was about to reject Old Geezer Yu, the latter suddenly stepped forward and said, "Old Geezer Yu, you sure are shameless …"
"Very well, I'll accept your challenge!"
