In the Yan Clan's barracks, in the Steel Sword Martial Saint's tent:
The Steel Sword Martial Saint sat cross-legged on the soft, dark-red carpet. The enormous steel sword was laid flat on his knees as he meditated with his eyes closed.
"Do you think Mister Teng dares to accept the challenge from the Steel Sword Martial Saint?"
"Who knows? Maybe Mister Teng is just an empty shell and is too scared to accept the challenge. It wouldn't be strange if he doesn't accept the challenge tomorrow and finds an excuse to say that he had urgent matters to attend to. "
The Steel Sword Martial Saint's six senses were sharp. Although these discussions were just casual chatter among the patrolling soldiers, the Steel Sword Martial Saint could still hear them clearly. The Steel Sword Martial Saint could still hear them clearly.
"Whether he is truly powerful or just a rumor, we will find out soon." The Steel Sword Martial Saint thought to himself.
Suddenly —
"I am here on Mister Teng's orders to announce that Mister Teng will definitely attend the Steel Sword Martial Saint's challenge tomorrow!" A booming voice resounded throughout the entire Yan Clan's barracks. After Fu Dao received the reply from Teng Qingshan, he naturally wouldn't let down Teng Qingshan's prestige. He also sent an inner strength expert to announce the news.
Previously, the Yan Clan had sent people over. Just from their clothes and decorations, it could be determined that they were from the Yan Clan.
After the messenger intentionally announced Teng Qingshan's reply, the entire Yan Clan's barracks began to discuss it.
"He will definitely attend the challenge?" In the tent, the Steel Sword Martial Saint, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. "Teng Qingshan, huh … I hope you won't disappoint me, Helian Haoyan!"
*****
The news of the battle between the mysterious Most Powerful Martial Saint, Teng Qingshan, and the famous Number One Martial Saint of the Northern Frosty Region, the Steel Sword Martial Saint, at the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon of Ox-Head Mountain spread rapidly. Not only the Yan Clan and the Fu Clan's barracks, but even the other large clans that had just arrived also heard about it.
One was the future ruler of the Tianfeng Clan, who had been famous for several decades — the Steel Sword Martial Saint!
One was an extremely mysterious expert who rarely made a move and had suddenly risen to prominence — the Most Powerful Martial Saint, Teng Qingshan!
Between the two experts, who was stronger and who was weaker?
Back then, after Helian Haoyan lost to the Rising Sun Martial Saint, Mu Wang, he endured hardships and his strength improved to the next level. Tomorrow, he would be able to defeat Teng Qingshan and display his brilliance for the first time!
Teng Qingshan, who was crowned with the title of the Most Powerful Martial Saint, but did not have enough achievements, would be able to defeat Helian Haoyan tomorrow to prove that he had the strength to match the title of the Most Powerful Martial Saint!
Everything would be revealed tomorrow morning in the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon!
On the Duanmu Continent, where the practice of martial arts was extremely prevalent, the impending battle between the two peerless experts immediately caused a commotion among the great clans. Many powerful warriors and some youths from clans who dreamed of becoming a Martial Saint arrived at the Ox-Head Mountain at the first glimmer of dawn the next day. All of them rushed towards the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon.
…
Fu Family, outside Teng Qingshan's tent.
Li Jun, Teng Qingshan's two disciples, Teng Shou, Yang Dong, Fu Yuping, and the Thunder Blade Martial Saint, Fu Dao, were all standing outside the tent. At this moment, the sky was already bright, but the main character of today's battle, Teng Qingshan, was still inside the tent.
"Big Brother Teng," Li Jun shouted.
"Haha … haha …" Suddenly, a loud laughter sounded from inside the tent. This caused Li Jun to reveal a puzzled expression as she glanced at the others beside her.
"Big Brother Teng," Li Jun shouted again.
"Hua!"
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Teng Qingshan, who was wearing an ordinary dark azure leather cloak, walked out with a smile on his face. When he saw Li Jun, Fu Dao, and the others, he immediately came to a realization. "Oh, right. You guys are here for the battle at the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon in the Ox-Head Mountain, right?" It was obvious that Teng Qingshan still remembered this matter.
"Big Brother Teng, it's time to go." Li Jun smiled bitterly.
"Haha, Mister laughed just now. Was it because you were confident that you could defeat the Steel Sword Martial Saint?" Fu Dao said with a smile. Even though he had fought with Teng Qingshan before, Fu Dao didn't think that … Teng Qingshan could defeat the Steel Sword Martial Saint with one move, just like how he had defeated him. After all, the Steel Sword Martial Saint was the number one Martial Saint in the Northern Frosty Region.
Moreover, he was the future ruler of the Tianfeng Clan!
"Just now, I comprehended the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》, so I couldn't help but laugh heartily." Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
The few people present couldn't help but be astonished.
The battle was imminent, yet he still had the mood to comprehend the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》.
"Now is the crucial time for me to comprehend. Logically speaking, I should seize the opportunity to study it. However … this Steel Sword Martial Saint is really annoying." Teng Qingshan shook his head and said, "Let's go to the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon. The earlier we defeat the Steel Sword Martial Saint, the earlier we can return."
Fu Dao was stunned. He couldn't help but think that Teng Qingshan's attitude was a little too arrogant.
However, he didn't think from Teng Qingshan's point of view, so he didn't understand Teng Qingshan's point of view.
To Teng Qingshan, defeating the Steel Sword Martial Saint was no longer enough to excite Teng Qingshan.
It couldn't be helped … When Teng Qingshan sparred with the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal, even the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal was shocked and thought that Teng Qingshan had already attained the Emptiness Realm! In other words, Teng Qingshan, who had combined his Supreme Force and physical strength, was now comparable to an expert who had just attained the Emptiness Realm.
What was there to be excited about when such an expert defeated a Martial Saint?
"Let's go." Teng Qingshan took out the Reincarnation Spear from the tent and said with a smile, "Fu Dao, I don't know where the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon is. Let someone lead the way."
"Haha, the Fu Clan has already prepared for this." Fu Dao laughed.
Immediately, Teng Qingshan and the group of people rode the War Hous and left the Fu Clan's barracks, heading towards the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon in the Ox-Head Mountains.
*****
The Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon was originally an ordinary nameless canyon. However, ever since the youth named Ah Wu pierced the ground with his spear and discovered a piece of Fiery Gilt Steel Ore, the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon was destined to be recorded in the history of Duanmu Continent. Today, the battle between the Most Powerful Martial Saint and the Steel Sword Martial Saint would make this canyon even more dazzling in history.
Many experts had already gathered in the Fiery Gilt Steel Canyon. Every clan had sent their men over.
Firstly, they wanted to probe the strength of the two Martial Saints. Secondly, as warriors, the attraction of such a pinnacle battle was too strong.
… …
"Second Brother, why haven't the two Martial Saints arrived yet?"
"Ah Tong, don't worry. The Most Powerful Martial Saint and the Steel Sword Martial Saint are both important figures. Why would they arrive so early like us?"
Two youths were in the crowd, waiting anxiously. In order to observe this battle, they didn't sleep well last night. They had followed their clans here before the sun had even risen. Actually, they weren't the only ones. The warriors of the various clans were also anxiously waiting for the appearance of the two Martial Saints.
"Second Brother, look over there." The youth named Ah Tong pointed to a spot not far away from them. He was extremely excited as he said, "That's the Martial Saintess."
"Yes." His second brother's eyes also brightened.
The youth Ah Tong was so excited that his face was flushed. "The Martial Saintess is the number one Martial Saint in the Eastern Flower Region. She's too powerful. I wonder who's stronger between the Martial Saintess, the Steel Sword Martial Saint, and the Most Powerful Martial Saint? "
"Ah Tong, look. They're here." His second brother hastily pulled his younger brother.
At this moment, the entire crowd was in an uproar. Everyone was excited. The two brothers followed the crowd and looked toward the entrance of the canyon. They saw the Steel Sword Martial Saint, Helian Haoyan, dressed in a black leather coat and carrying a giant iron sword on his back. The Most Powerful Martial Saint, Teng Qingshan, was dressed in a dark green leather coat and carrying a silver long spear on his back.
The two of them were followed by their respective troops.
"Wow!" The youth Ah Tong's eyes lit up as he looked at the two great unparalleled experts.
"So powerful." His second brother was also watching excitedly.
The two Martial Saints walking on the ground of the canyon naturally gave off an imposing aura. This imposing aura was formed by the combination of a person's temperament and spirit. It was an imposing aura that belonged to them. It was just like how an ordinary person would naturally feel fear when they saw an emperor.
These unparalleled experts also had an imposing aura that belonged to them.
"Second Brother, who do you think is more powerful?" The youth Ah Tong asked.
"I don't know. The Most Powerful Martial Saint. I only know that he once captured Dong Zhezi. However, I know more about the Steel Sword Martial Saint. When the Steel Sword Martial Saint was sixteen years old, he single-handedly broke through the Iron Sea City. When he was twenty-three years old, he reached the Innate Realm. When he was forty-eight years old, he fought with the Rising Sun Martial Saint for a long time. Unfortunately, he was defeated. When he was fifty-two years old, he fought with the Blood Axe Martial Saint. They were evenly matched … In short, the only person in the world who could defeat the Steel Sword Martial Saint was probably the Rising Sun Martial Saint, who was known as the number one below the Martial Immortals. As for Teng Qingshan? He's too mysterious. However, one's status needs to be proven with strength. Therefore, I believe that the Steel Sword Martial Saint will win. "
"I believe that the Most Powerful Martial Saint will win," the youth Ah Tong said.
His second brother asked in surprise, "Why?"
"He … he …" The youth Ah Tong thought for a while, but he couldn't think of any powerful achievements that Teng Qingshan had.
"Stop talking. They're going to fight."
… …
In the center of the spacious valley, there was no one else within a radius of one hundred and fifty Zhang.
Teng Qingshan and the Steel Sword Martial Saint, Helian Haoyan, stood facing each other from a distance of over ten Zhang.
"Helian Haoyan," Teng Qingshan said with a faint smile, "You actually came to challenge me. To be honest, I'm very surprised. However … since you've invited me, and you're also a famous figure in Duanmu Continent, let's fight. If you have any special moves, just use them. Otherwise, you won't have the chance to use them. "
The Steel Sword Martial Saint's indifferent face couldn't help but reveal a hint of anger.
In his opinion, a battle between two great experts should take some time to prepare and say something befitting of their status before fighting. He didn't expect Teng Qingshan to be so direct.
"Teng Qingshan, the title of the Most Powerful Martial Saint isn't something that just anyone can have," the Steel Sword Martial Saint said.
His meaning was obvious …
Obviously, he thought that it was too dishonorable for Teng Qingshan to obtain this title. It was a title that the Hall of Assassins claimed. It wasn't like the Rising Sun Martial Saint in the past, who was recognized by the world for his great battles.
"Oh, then come and try." Teng Qingshan held the spear with one hand and looked at the Steel Sword Martial Saint with a faint smile.
The Steel Sword Martial Saint's eyes turned cold.
"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out.
The giant iron sword on the Steel Sword Martial Saint's back actually flew out of its sheath. The Steel Sword Martial Saint reached out with one hand and grabbed the hilt of the giant iron sword. Then … he clenched his fists and looked at Teng Qingshan from afar. He said in a deep voice, "Teng Qingshan, you look really insolent. I also hope that you have the strength to be insolent. Please … don't disappoint me!"
"Sigh …" Teng Qingshan shook his head inwardly. "There are always so many self-righteous people in this world."
"Rumble ~ ~ ~"
Suddenly, the sandy ground exploded. Like hidden weapons, thousands of sand and stones shot wildly toward Teng Qingshan.
The battle began!
