Challenging the Sword Emperor …
The information contained within these 4 words swept through the entire Hua Xia virtual world like a gust of wind.
These few words that came out of Ling Chen's mouth caused an uproar that far surpassed anything that had happened before. This news was simply too explosive, and it caused all of the players to be in a state of excitement for a long time. Who was the Sword Emperor? Hua Xia was the only player in the virtual world who had been given the title of 'Emperor'. Ever since he had appeared, no one in Hua Xia had been able to defeat him. The Heaven Rankings would change every year, but the Sword Emperor, who was in first place, had never been shaken.
In the International Mock Battle two years ago, the Sword Emperor, who represented China, had lost to the world's number one player, Eve, in the semi-finals. That was the first and only defeat that the Battle Emperor had suffered in the virtual world. However, losing to Eve wasn't anything to be ashamed of. After all, she was a player who had surpassed the limits of humans, and was a complete and utter monster. Losing to her wasn't because the Sword Emperor was weak, but because Eve's strength was simply too monstrous.
Apart from Eve, almost all of the players in Hua Xia, including Long Tian Yun, believed that no one could defeat the Sword Emperor. This was especially so for those who had personally seen the Sword Emperor fight – they were all dazzled by the afterimages of his swords. The Shinigami was terrifying, and the Flame Emperor was incredibly powerful, but even if they worked together, they still wouldn't be able to defeat the Sword Emperor. After all these years, no one had dared to challenge the Sword Emperor, because challenging the Sword Emperor would only be asking to be humiliated.
However, Ling Tian was a dark horse that had appeared out of nowhere. Not long after the Mystic Moon world had opened, he had completely stolen all of the limelight. In terms of rankings, even the Sword Emperor and Flame Emperor had been suppressed by him. As such, he naturally received the attention of all of the players. Today was his first public appearance, and the first thing he did was challenge the Sword Emperor in front of Long Tian Yun and all of the players! Moreover, the location of the duel wasn't the Azure Dragon City's Arena, but the Second District of the Plains Region … In the virtual world, death was the deciding factor. Dying in the Arena wouldn't result in any losses, but dying in the wild would result in a drop in levels and items. Moreover, the Second District of the Plains Region was the best place for players to train, and there were many players gathered there. If Long Tian Yun accepted the duel, it would be carried out in front of everyone, and the result would be either the Sword Emperor or Ling Tian surviving, or the other dying! No matter which one of them died, it would be a sensational event.
This wasn't all, there was still the bet … if the Sword Emperor lost, Long Tian Yun would give Ling Tian the Guild Creation Token, and if Ling Tian lost, he would give Long Tian Yun two Celestial grade equipment!! The Guild Creation Token had been won by Long Tian Yun for 1 billion gold coins! These two Celestial grade equipment were the only two in the entire world, and their value couldn't be measured with money. In terms of chips, both of them were incomparably valuable … However, the Guild Creation Token in Long Tian Yun's hand was no longer the "first piece", so a few minutes ago it was worth 1 billion gold coins. Now, it was probably not even worth 10 million gold coins. So, if you really wanted to calculate it, the value of these two Celestial grade equipment far surpassed that of Long Tian Yun's Guild Creation Token. As such, in terms of wagers, Ling Tian was clearly at a disadvantage.
Yun Feng was dumbfounded, Xiao Qiu Feng's expression was stiff, and Yun Meng Xin, Xiao Qi and Su 'Er's eyes were wide open … none of them could have predicted this situation.
"What is he thinking?!" Yun Feng scratched his head, unable to understand what Ling Chen was thinking. It wasn't that he couldn't challenge the Sword Emperor, but he had to do it when Long Tian Yun was at his most furious. Moreover, he had even proposed to use the Guild Creation Token that he had just won … this was no longer a challenge, but a gamble between him and Long Tian Yun.
Ling Tian's ears were filled with all sorts of noises. The moment Ling Tian's words came out, the whole of China probably knew that Ling Tian had challenged the Sword Emperor. Ling Tian's actions were completely unexpected by Long Tian Yun. His eyes narrowed even more as he stared at Ling Chen, but didn't say a word.
"What? Could it be that Alliance Master Long is worried that your Yan Huang Alliance's number 1 expert, the Sword Emperor, isn't my opponent, and will lose the Guild Creation Token to me? Heh … "Ling Chen calmly laughed. Although he was wearing a mask, everyone could imagine the disdain on his face," The first day I entered the Mystic Moon world, I heard that the Yan Huang Alliance's Alliance Master, Long Tian Yun, was the son of the Devas, and that his courage, courage and methods were all unparalleled under the heavens. The Yan Huang Alliance's number 1 expert, the Sword Emperor, was even more unrivalled. As such, I've always wanted to spar with him, and this trade was just to make this spar more exciting. However, it's a pity that the legends don't quite match up. Alliance Master Long doesn't even have the guts to accept a challenge from a nameless person like me, the Sword Emperor. Heh heh … alright then, I won't make things difficult for Alliance Master Long, so I'll cancel my challenge to the Sword Emperor … "
As soon as Ling Tian finished speaking, the Hua Xia players once again went into an uproar. Countless players had looks of disappointment on their faces, but his next words once again caused everyone to stare in shock.
"… Tomorrow afternoon at 2pm, in the Plains Region's Second District, I, Ling Tian, will challenge your Yan Huang Alliance's strongest players, the Sword Emperor and the Flame Emperor! Moreover, it won't be a one-on-one battle, but a one-on-one battle between your Sword Emperor and the Flame Emperor! How about this? " Ling Tian stretched out two fingers, pointing at the Sword Emperor and the Flame Emperor. His voice and actions were filled with boundless arrogance.
Thump … Yun Feng's body went limp, and his head hit the armrest of his chair.
If the feeling that Ling Tian gave off when he challenged the Sword Emperor was brash, then the feeling that he gave off now was arrogance … furthermore, it was the kind of arrogance that came from ignorance and overestimating one's own abilities. Or perhaps … this fellow was simply insane.
Anyone who had seen the Sword Emperor fight would know that his strength did not come from his equipment. Conversely, everyone knew that the Sword Emperor never accepted any equipment, items or money from the Yan Huang Alliance, including those from Long Tian Yun. All of his equipment came from himself. Even if he was equipped with the least impressive equipment, he was still invincible. This was because he was an anomaly that completely broke the balance among the players. With the same class, the same equipment, and the same stats, a player could only stab once in a second, but he could stab countless times … Because no one could see the afterimages of the sword he flung out. With a flick of his wrist, his opponent would die before they even knew what had happened.
The news of Ling Tian challenging the Sword Emperor caused everyone to feel excited. This excitement was not because of the intense battle, but because of the novelty and excitement. In everyone's hearts, apart from Eve, the Sword Emperor was invincible. If he wanted to defeat his opponent, it would only take a moment.
One Sword Emperor was already invincible, let alone the Flame Emperor. The Flame Emperor was publicly acknowledged as the strongest Elementalist in all of Hua Xia. He was an extremely talented fire ability user in the real world. When he released fire magic in the game world, his chanting time was extremely short, and he could control the flames with ease. Even if he missed his target, he could still attack again under his control. Almost no one could dodge his flames, which was indescribably terrifying.
Hearing him challenge the Sword Emperor and the Flame Emperor, the crowd was in an uproar, and a few words popped up in their minds at the same time … Boasting shamelessly, overestimating himself, what kind of international joke is this? Is he crazy from wanting to become famous?
"Hahahaha!!" As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, Cang Yan laughed so hard that he rocked back and forth. Amidst his maniacal laughter, he looked at Ling Chen mockingly, "Tsk tsk tsk, interesting, very interesting. So it turns out that the Ling Tian who was in the limelight was actually this kind of trash. This was truly an eye-opener. Kid, do you think you're invincible just because you're number 1 on the leaderboards and have 2 Celestial grade items that no one else has? Hahahaha, this is simply hilarious. For a true expert, level and equipment are always secondary. Don't talk about having 2 Celestial grade items, even if your entire body was covered in godly equipment, in my eyes, you're still just an ant that I can easily crush. Challenge me? You don't have the qualifications!! "
"Alright, don't say anymore." Long Tian Yun raised his hand to stop Cang Yan. He smiled and looked at Ling Chen with interest, "Ling Tian, actually you don't need to use such low level methods to provoke me. I, Long Tian Yun, have long wanted to see just what kind of god the legendary Ling Tian is. Furthermore, there are 2 Celestial grade items, so why not? However, you don't need to challenge 2 people, just the Sword Emperor is enough. "
As soon as Long Tian Yun said this, it meant that he had accepted Ling Chen's challenge. The surrounding players were sent into an uproar, and news of this quickly spread across the entire Jiangnan. Moreover, Long Tian Yun's light words also gave Ling Tian a counterattack. The only person he wanted to fight was the Sword Emperor, and he even mocked his challenge as giving him 2 Celestial grade items for free … Evidently, he didn't think that the Sword Emperor would lose, or rather, he didn't put Ling Tian in his eyes at all.
Ling Chen also laughed, "Very good, Alliance Long is indeed straightforward. Then, tomorrow afternoon at 2pm, I'll be waiting for Alliance Master Long and the Sword Emperor in the Second Region of the Plains Region … Oh, and remember to bring the Guild Creation Token. "
He was wearing a mask, so no one could see what kind of smile he had on his face. Although Long Tian Yun said to himself, "You don't need to use this kind of low-level provocation", in reality, this "low-level provocation" had already worked.
With Long Tian Yun's shrewdness and caution, if it was under normal circumstances, even if he had absolute confidence in the Sword Emperor's strength, he wouldn't have so rashly agreed to Ling Chen's challenge. However, Ling Chen had chosen to appear in front of him just as he was about to explode with anger. At this time, no matter how calm Long Tian Yun looked on the surface, his mind would be in turmoil, and he wouldn't be able to think too carefully, making it easy for him to make rash decisions. Moreover, the location he had chosen … the Auction Hall, was in front of everyone's eyes! Ling Chen had first challenged the Sword Emperor, then challenged the Battle Emperor and the Flame Emperor. Moreover, the stakes were incredibly high, and there were countless eyes watching. If the Yan Huang Alliance didn't agree, they would be laughed at for being afraid of Ling Tian, and not even daring to accept such a challenge. Moreover, Ling Chen's own performance made him seem arrogant and despicable. This made people, including Long Tian Yun, think of him as someone who had a high level, high equipment, and looked down on everyone else. The Sword Emperor, on the other hand, was truly invincible, and Long Tian Yun was the one who understood the Sword Emperor's strength the most. How could such an arrogant person who relied on his level and equipment be a match for the Sword Emperor?
Just like that, Long Tian Yun didn't hesitate at all, and accepted this challenge.
"Then, I'll see you tomorrow, Alliance Master Long. Don't forget to bring the Guild Creation Token, hahahaha."
With a loud laugh, Ling Chen turned around and rushed out of the Auction Hall, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The people behind Long Tian Yun quickly chased after him, but were stopped by Long Tian Yun, "No need to chase, all of you come back with me. Don't worry about Ling Tian for now. I want to see who has the guts to do this!! "
After the Yan Huang Alliance left, the Auction Hall didn't calm down for a long time. Everyone opened the Guild Rankings, and looked at the eye-catching name that constantly insulted the Yan Huang Alliance, trying to guess who could have done such a thing. Another topic of discussion was naturally the challenge tomorrow.
