"Challenging me? Hmph, you're too arrogant. Do you think I'm still the same person I was a few months ago?" Gu Yaoyang looked at the letter of challenge in his hand and snorted. He slammed his palm on the Purple Pine Diamond table, leaving a deep palm print.
As he raised his hand, the palm print recovered bit by bit.
The content of this letter of challenge was extremely simple, yet it was sharp like a sword. It seemed to be ordinary, yet it contained an indescribable arrogance, and it was signed off with the words Chen Zong of the Unhindered Sword Sect.
That's right, this was the letter of challenge sent by Chen Zong.
Chen Zong didn't have enough strength before, but now he did, so he naturally had to act.
Being listed among the geniuses of the camp would bring a great boost to the Unhindered Sword Sect's reputation. It was only right to return the favor.
Chen Zong started his challenge from the third camp. Who would he challenge?
Gu Yaoyang, who had a conflict with Chen Zong, was undoubtedly a good candidate.
This kind of challenge wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small matter either.
On a nameless hill, Gu Yaoyang, who was wearing a fiery red robe, became more and more eye-catching. He seemed to be resonating with the scorching sun in the sky. His whole body was filled with waves of heat, like turbulent waves.
Gu Yaoyang, who had reached the middle stage of Lv 6 True Martial Realm, was even more powerful. He could fight against an ordinary Lv 9 True Martial Realm martial artist.
He was only at Lv 6 True Martial Realm, but he had the strength of a Lv 9 True Martial Realm martial artist, which was three whole levels higher. It was no doubt amazing. There were less than a hundred young people in the entire Tianjiang Prefecture who could do this.
Being listed among the geniuses of the camp was a great honor.
Gu Yaoyang's challenge was successful, and he was listed among the geniuses of the third camp. The Unhindered Sword Sect's reputation immediately increased.
The reputation of a Sect was very important. It was related to whether it had an advantage in recruiting disciples in the future. Generally speaking, most people would choose a Sect with a stronger reputation. Under normal circumstances, a strong reputation meant that the Sect was also strong.
A strong Sect had a greater chance of recruiting talented disciples and further strengthening the Sect's reputation. It was a virtuous cycle that allowed the Sect to exist and grow stronger.
Chen Zong, who was wearing a silver sword robe, stood in front of Gu Yaoyang. He didn't have a strong aura. He was calm, as if he was not here to fight, but to enjoy the scenery... a sharp contrast with Gu Yaoyang, who had a strong aura.
An Inner Sect Elder of the True Yang Sect frowned, unable to see through Chen Zong's cultivation at all.
The Third Elder of the Unhindered Sword Sect had a smile on his face. He had a rough idea of Chen Zong's strength and knew that he would definitely be able to defeat Gu Yaoyang.
There were other people around as well. Most of them were from the True Yang Sect and the Unhindered Sword Sect. A small portion of them were from the Heavenly Water Sect and the Ao Mei Villa. There were also people from other factions or independent cultivators.
Everyone was talking and guessing that Chen Zong could defeat Gu Yaoyang.
Some thought that Chen Zong could defeat Gu Yaoyang. They took out the last time Chen Zong defeated Gu Yaoyang as evidence. But some thought that Chen Zong couldn't defeat Gu Yaoyang. After all, Chen Zong had disappeared for a few months. Gu Yaoyang, on the other hand, was very active and had defeated many strong opponents.
"Chen Zong. Today, I will defeat you in front of everyone." Gu Yaoyang said to Chen Zong with a cold face. He was gnashing his teeth like an angry beast. He added in his heart, "I will humiliate you after I defeat you."
Killing was not allowed in this kind of challenge. It was okay to get injured, but it couldn't be an untreatable injury. After all, there were people watching. If it was in a place without people, then it didn't matter.
Chen Zong just smiled at Gu Yaoyang's words. He didn't answer, but his attitude made Gu Yaoyang feel contempt. He was furious.
In anger, Gu Yaoyang fully activated his martial arts. It was as if he had turned into a scorching sun, emitting amazing light and heat. Waves of heat swept around.
The air around him was distorted, and the light reflected a strange light.
The huge hand formed a claw and slashed out fiercely. Body and martial arts as one, the claw tore through the sky and grabbed at Chen Zong. It was like the claw of a fiery bird, carrying a shocking heat. Even if it was refined steel, it would be melted in an instant.
Before the claw arrived, Chen Zong already felt the amazing heat covering his body. It was as if he was in a furnace and was constantly being burned.
Very strong!
After Gu Yaoyang's cultivation improved, he became more powerful. The power of this claw was also amazing. It was at least a Heaven Level upper class martial arts.
However, Chen Zong's cultivation was much higher than Gu Yaoyang's.
He was able to defeat Gu Yaoyang when his cultivation was lower, let alone now.
Chen Zong moved his body and avoided Gu Yaoyang's tyrannical claw. The claw directly tore Chen Zong's body into pieces.
Gu Yaoyang's expression didn't change. He didn't expect to defeat Chen Zong with one claw. He reacted quickly. The moment he tore Chen Zong's body into pieces, the claw suddenly turned into a palm, pressing the air. A terrible power gathered in the palm, and the amazing heat seemed to burn through the earth. It fiercely slapped Chen Zong.
The crimson red palm print broke through the air. Immediately, Gu Yaoyang's palm changed again, turning into a fist. The crimson red fist print dented the air and blasted towards Chen Zong with amazing power.
In an instant, Gu Yaoyang changed his moves three times. Different attacking methods, different powers contained in them, sucking, pulling, twisting, and burning. They constantly hit Chen Zong's body, making Chen Zong feel that he couldn't dodge and could only take Gu Yaoyang's attacks head-on. The explosive power of the attack was amazing, and it also contained a burning aura like a raging fire. It also contained the power of Gu Yaoyang's strong body refining cultivation.
The three moves in a row showed everyone Gu Yaoyang's adaptability, and also showed Chen Zong Gu Yaoyang's current strength.
Chen Zong stood still and didn't dodge anymore. He waved his right hand, and a dazzling silver sword light pierced through the air.
This sword seemed to pierce through the sky, and the silver light extended to the horizon.
Gu Yaoyang could only see the silver light in front of him, and couldn't see anything else clearly. The sharp and domineering sword light pierced through his body, making his hair stand on end.
He waved both of his palms, and a huge spinning red millstone appeared in the air, blocking Chen Zong's sword.
However, the silver sword light was unexpectedly sharp and domineering. The red millstone was as fragile as tofu, and was instantly pierced through.
This sword was too fast, and Gu Yaoyang couldn't react at all.
For a moment, Gu Yaoyang thought he was going to be killed, and a huge panic emerged from the bottom of his heart. He didn't want to die yet.
The sword light paused, and stopped in front of Gu Yaoyang's forehead. The cold and sharp sword light pierced through his forehead, making Gu Yaoyang's scalp numb. His brain was constantly stimulated, and his thoughts were almost frozen.
"Stop!" The Extreme Mortal Elder of the Zhenyang Sect was shocked. He shouted and was about to attack, but was stopped by the Third Elder of the Zhenyang Sword Sect.
Chen Zong didn't kill him. He only lightly touched Gu Yaoyang's forehead with the tip of his sword, leaving a dark red mark, and then put his sword back into its sheath.
It was clear who had won and who had lost.
If it were some other place where there was no one around, perhaps Chen Zong would have stabbed Gu Yaoyang without hesitation and killed him with one strike.
Gu Yaoyang was dumbfounded. His whole body was in a daze, and he looked like he had lost all hope in life.
His cultivation had increased, his strength had increased, and he had defeated many strong opponents. He was now a genius in the third group, and he was working hard on his cultivation, preparing to become a genius in the second group. He was in high spirits and full of fighting spirit. This time, he received a challenge from Chen Zong, and he was ready to defeat Chen Zong to wash away his shame.
His idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.
This time, he was defeated even faster than the last time. It was a clean defeat, and he had no chance of defending himself.
One strike!
Just one strike.
Defeated!
Completely defeated.
Gu Yaoyang felt his vision turn dark.
Chen Zong didn't kill him, but he left a shadow in his heart, and Gu Yaoyang couldn't recover from it. If he couldn't get rid of this shadow, his future would be ruined. This was worse than killing him directly.
Of course, Chen Zong didn't mean that. It was just a coincidence. Gu Yaoyang was very competitive. When he lost to Chen Zong for the first time, he was shocked, and then he pulled himself together and worked hard again. In the battle of the Spiritual Pool, he realized the gap between him and Chen Zong, so he worked hard again. After a few months of hard work, his cultivation improved, and he became stronger. He also defeated many strong opponents that he couldn't defeat in the past, and became a genius in the third group.
It could be said that Gu Yaoyang's future was limitless. It wasn't impossible for him to become a genius in the second group or even the first group.
As for the genius level, it was too difficult.
Now, reaching Lv 9 of the Genuine Martial Realm at a certain age didn't mean that one could become a genius. At least, one had to show strength that could compete with any of the five geniuses to be recognized.
However, Gu Yaoyang had a very good plan for himself. As long as he worked hard, it would come true sooner or later.
But all of this was stopped by Chen Zong's sword.
The gap was too big.
In just a few months' time, Chen Zong had already walked to a point where he could only look up to the dust.
The Elder of the Zhenyang Sect quickly left with the gloomy Gu Yaoyang. It was very embarrassing, and they didn't dare to stay any longer.
The Third Elder of the Unhindered Sword Sect was beaming with joy.
Today's battle would soon be spread by other warriors, and it would sweep through the entire Tianjiang Prefecture in the shortest time possible. By then, everyone in the Tianjiang Prefecture would know that Chen Zong defeated Gu Yaoyang with one sword with absolute advantage. He showed unparalleled strength and became a genius in the third group.
The reputation of the Unhindered Sword Sect would also be slightly improved because of this.
The warriors who watched the battle left with excitement and complicated feelings, especially those from the Tianshui Sect and the Ao Mei Villa. For them, the more outstanding Chen Zong's performance was, the greater the reputation of the Unhindered Sword Sect, and the greater the impact it would have on the two Sects.
The entire Tianjiang Prefecture was only so big, and there were only so many resources. The four Sect competed with each other for better development.
