Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 218 - Shocking News
Chapter 218 - Shocking News
When Feng Tianxia unleashed his aura, the wind ceased.
The crowd’s hearts thumped heavily.
Is Feng Tianxia going to make things difficult for Wang Hui?
Despite Wang Hui's position as an Inner Sect Elder, Feng Tianxia, a holy disciple, held a status comparable to a Grand Elder, surpassing Wang Hui's standing.
Wang Hui felt as if a large, invisible hand had grabbed his neck, and he began having difficulty breathing.
Although Wang Hui’s cultivation wasn’t weak, he wasn’t in the Core Formation realm. The weight of Feng Tianxia's Core Formation cultivation bore down on him like a massive mountain, creating intense pressure.
“What, Feng Tianxia, are you going to attack me?”
Wang Hui looked at Feng Tianxia with an icy gaze and said, “I stopped Song Yang because he violated the rules of Life and Death Hall and broke his promise by attacking Chen Fan. We can bring this to the Disciplinary Hall, but remember that reason is on my side.”
Wang Hui paused for a moment. The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and he continued, “Duan Jingtian has the qualifications to violate the rules, but you, Feng Tianxia, don’t. Think well about the consequences before you act. See who can save you!”
His words were a blatant threat. Feng Tianxia’s pupils shrunk when he heard this.
Although he was a holy disciple and his status was comparable to a Grand Elder, Chen Fan was someone in the High Elder’s faction and Wei Buyu’s personal disciple.
Duan Jingtian could violate the rules and attack Chen Fan because his cultivation was high, and he had the support of numerous Elders and the patriarch.
However, Feng Tianxia had no support, and he wasn’t even as strong as Duan Jingtian.
So, while Duan Jingtian could challenge Wei Buyu, he couldn't afford to do the same.
However, if he were to back down in front of so many people, would he have any prestige left as the leader of Tianxia Society and as a holy disciple?
As tension filled the air, a resounding voice echoed throughout the Spring Autumn Sect.
“Duan Jingtian, I, Zhong Ya, challenge you to a battle at Tianmen Mountain in half a month!"
The announcement reverberated like thunder, plunging the Spring Autumn Sect into silence before erupting into intense discussions.
“Zhong Ya? Who is that?”
“Heavens, you don’t even know about Zhong Ya? How ignorant! Zhong Ya is Divine Light Sect's number one holy disciple, ranked eleventh on the Geniuses of Heaven Leaderboard, just below Senior Brother Duan Jingtian.”
“Seriously? He’s actually challenging Senior Brother Duan Jingtian. Is he trying to enter the top ten?”
“Excuse me, what is the Geniuses of Heaven Leaderboard?”
“You... It's a renowned list in the Great Chu Empire, featuring the most talented disciples and descendants across various sects and clans. Individuals that are revered and admired by the younger generation."
“The Geniuses of Heaven Leaderboard features a hundred names, each belonging to prodigious talents who achieved Core Formation before turning thirty and gained fame within the Great Chu Empire. The top ten have an eighty percent chance of advancing to the Divine Nascent realm, with a thirty percent likelihood of advancing even further.”
“Senior Brother Duan Jingtian is ranked tenth on the Geniuses of Heaven Leaderboard, while Zhong Ya is ranked eleventh. He likely wants to enter the top ten.”
“......”
Discussions resonated throughout the Spring Autumn Sect, both in the inner and the outer sects, as people eagerly awaited to see if Duan Jingtian would accept the challenge.
The atmosphere in the Life and Death Hall also changed.
The crowd’s attention went from Feng Tianxia and Wang Hui to awaiting Duan Jingtian's response.
Feng Tianxia and Wang Hui couldn't match the stature of Duan Jingtian or Zhong Ya. Despite Feng Tianxia's Core Formation cultivation, he was ineligible for the Geniuses of Heaven Leaderboard due to surpassing the age limit.
“What shocking news! Zhong Ya challenged Senior Brother Duan Jingtian. I wonder if he will respond to the challenge.”
“He’ll surely accept the challenge! Won’t people say he is afraid of Zhong Ya otherwise?”
“One is ranked tenth, and the other is ranked eleventh on the leaderboard. Their battle would surely shake the world.”
“I must witness this battle and see Senior Brother Duan Jingtian display his divine might and defeat Zhong Ya, bringing honor to our Spring Autumn Sect.”
“......”
The onlookers in the hall discussed the matter among themselves.
Chen Fan’s eyes were also flickering non-stop.
The individuals listed on the Geniuses of Heaven Leaderboard were undoubtedly exceptional geniuses with remarkable cultivation achievements.
A fight between Duan Jingtian and Zhong Ya, holding the tenth and the eleventh positions on the leaderboard, was bound to be an earth-shaking event.
Although Chen Fan had a great feud with Duan Jingtian, he couldn't help but feel excitement and anticipation at the thought of their impending showdown.
While aware of Duan Jingtian's formidable strength, Chen Fan lacked a firsthand understanding of the extent of his power.
If Duan Jingtian accepted the challenge, he could witness Duan Jingtian's strength personally and gauge the true extent of his prowess.
Feng Tianxia had withdrawn his aura, looking to the distance, his gaze flickering.
Duan Jingtian, as the Spring Autumn Sect's top holy disciple, held unparalleled dominance over the others. The gap in strength between him and the rest was insurmountable.
While the people were waiting for Duan Jingtian’s response, as expected, a majestic voice came from the depths of the Spring Autumn Sect.
“Showdown, half a month, Tianmen Mountain!”
It was Duan Jingtian’s voice. freew ebnov el
Given his arrogant and overbearing personality, Chen Fan found it entirely fitting for Duan Jingtian.
The announcement ignited fervor within the Spring Autumn Sect; excitement and confidence filled the air.
“Senior Brother Duan Jingtian is sure to win this battle and bring honor to our Spring Autumn Sect!”
“That goes without saying. Zhong Ya is delusional to challenge Senior Brother Duan Jingtian. His arrogance mirrors that of Chen Fan.”
“Come on, let’s set off for Tianmen Mountain and occupy a good position. Once news of this spread, the entire Great Chu Empire will be shaken. Many people will definitely head to Tianmen Mountain to watch the battle.”
“Right, right. We should go to Tianmen Mountain and occupy a good spot. This battle will surely shake the whole Great Chu Empire.”
“......”
Numerous Spring Autumn Sect disciples started shouting and yelling, leaving the sect and heading toward Tianmen Mountain.
Although the battle was set for half a month later, the anticipation among the onlookers was too much, prompting many to head to Tianmen Mountain in advance to secure optimal viewing spots.
The prospect of witnessing two top talents from the Geniuses of Heaven Leaderboard engaging in a showdown generated immense excitement. The news of this battle was expected to reverberate throughout the Great Chu Empire, drawing many spectators.
“Hmph, I’ll spare this sinful bastard’s life today. If he dares to insult my Tianxia Society again, I’ll kill him, even if he is Elder Wei’s personal disciple!”
Feng Tianxia let out a cold snort and vanished from the hall.
However, his departure went unnoticed, as the collective attention remained fixated on the impending battle between Duan Jingtian and Zhong Ya.
