Chapter 99: Another Challenge?

From the moment her daughter died, she felt she had lost everything.

And the one who caused her daughter’s death was Chen Ansheng.

This grudge could never be erased.

No one could stop Nan Gong Xiu’s desire for revenge deep in her heart.

However, Nan Gong Xiu knew that even if she gave everything she had, it might not be enough to kill Chen Ansheng, as Mo Wu and Yao Qingtian would definitely not stand by and watch.

Moreover, even if she could kill Chen Ansheng, it wouldn’t erase the pain and hatred in her heart. What she needed was to see Chen Ansheng suffer more than she did, living in eternal pain!

On the battlefield.

Chen Ansheng transformed into an immortal sword, crashing into a glass-like figure.

“You scoundrel…”

Zhu Min was horrified; he never imagined his true form would be locked onto by Chen Ansheng.

“Damn it, die!”

With no way to escape, Zhu Min drew upon all the celestial power in his body for a desperate fight.

In the next moment.

From within his figure, a dragon shadow burst forth, charging toward Chen Ansheng.

At that moment, Chen Ansheng was under immense pressure. In this situation, he fought for his life, managing to break through once more and increasing his blood energy to one hundred and sixteen cycles.

“Kill!”

Chen Ansheng was almost losing consciousness, his mind focused solely on one thought: kill!

Boom…

The attacks from both sides finally collided.

Crack, crack, crack…

In the barrier, countless electric snakes swirled, and the space became distorted due to the immense force.

Brilliant light shot up into the sky, blood mist filled the air, obscuring vision and disturbing divine senses, to the point where those below the realm of Xuanxian could not discern what was happening on the battlefield.

“Crack!”

With a loud explosion, a figure crashed through the barrier, flying backward.

“Young Master!”

Sensing the aura, two elders immediately flew over to catch the injured figure.

“I… lost…”

Zhu Min was now also losing consciousness, spitting blood, unable to accept this reality. In a moment of heated frustration, he fainted.

After the blood mist dissipated.

Chen Ansheng’s figure appeared; his clothes were tattered, his body marked with wounds.

Gu Jue, Yao Jianyuan, and the others also returned to their normal states, each one weak enough to almost fall from the air.

“We won, we won!”

The crowd exchanged glances and smiled.

Though they did not form the formation, their experiences during the battle were the same as Chen Ansheng’s.

Because when forming the array, the twelve of them were equivalent to one.

“Junior Brother Chen, was this battle exciting?”

Yao Jianyuan staggered over, laughing as he patted Chen Ansheng’s shoulder.

“It was fucking exhilarating.”

The entire battle process might not have been as flashy as fights in the lower realms, but the impact of the laws and powers was incomparable to battles in the lower realm.

Winning such a fight would stir anyone’s blood and excitement.

The other disciples of each cave witnessed this scene, yet their feelings were complex.

They initially thought that the True Immortal realm against the Xuan Immortal realm would be an act of hitting a stone with an egg, certain to result in defeat.

Who would have thought that they actually won?

Many silently sighed, thinking that sword cultivators truly defy the heavens.

“That Chen Ansheng, with only the eighth level of celestial cultivation, took the lead and faced the enemy with a sword. He’s truly exceptional!”

“Yeah, I thought he was just lucky to have encountered a time-space vortex that temporarily raised his realm. It turns out my perspective was too narrow.”

“In the future, don’t provoke anyone, but definitely don’t provoke these few. They’re truly not to be underestimated.”

…

At this moment, Feng Wuqing from Qian Yue Cave flew forward, coldly saying, “Relying on formation to temporarily boost your power, how is that different from taking drugs to raise your realm? In the end, it isn’t your own strength. How can you still feel proud?”

Hearing this, Gu Jue’s face darkened. He replied, “If you have the ability, then create a formation yourself, and let’s see who is superior.”

Feng Wuqing looked disdainful. “I disdain using such underhanded tricks. At the next Jiuhua Grand Assembly, I will not let you off.”

Gu Jue and Feng Wuqing had been rivals for twenty years, unable to distinguish superiority; how could he have the guts to say such things?

Gu Jue sneered, “Just based on you? If you want to fight, why wait for the Jiuhua Grand Assembly? Let’s meet at the battle stage a month from now!”

Feng Wuqing’s eyes darkened, “Oh? It’s a deal. But just the two of us fighting would be too boring. Let’s add one more person—how about a two-on-two match?”

Gu Jue frowned slightly. A two-on-two match could indeed break the deadlock between him and Feng Wuqing and determine the outcome.

So, Gu Jue nodded. “Agreed!”

Feng Wuqing smiled and looked at Chen Ansheng, who was currently the center of attention, and then spoke, “You can take that Chen Ansheng. I won’t bully you; I’ll just bring someone at the seventh level of celestial cultivation. How about that?”

Gu Jue then realized that Feng Wuqing’s target was actually Junior Brother Chen.

“Get lost!”

Gu Jue immediately refused.

He knew that Feng Wuqing had ulterior motives. During the battle, if Feng Wuqing were to use underhanded tactics against Junior Brother Chen, he might find a flaw to win the fight, but he could not guarantee Junior Brother Chen’s safety!

Thus, he certainly did not agree.

At that moment, Chen Ansheng walked over, calmly staring at Feng Wuqing. “Want to mess with me?”

Feng Wuqing looked down at him, “You were so imposing earlier, now you’re afraid?”

The corner of Chen Ansheng’s mouth curled into a cold smile. “Don’t use provocation tactics. I’m not falling for that.”

Just then, two elders helped the unconscious Zhu Min regain consciousness and approached Chen Ansheng. “You scoundrels used underhanded methods to ambush this Young Master, yet you aren’t willing to engage in battle with your peers? You bunch of rats!”

As Zhu Min spoke, he secretly transmitted to Feng Wuqing, “Kill him. Make sure he agrees to the fight and finish him!”

Zhu Min behaved this way because he understood that forcibly killing Chen Ansheng was nearly impossible. He had already been chosen as a disciple of Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion. If Mo Wu did not step in to protect him, wouldn’t it tarnish Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion’s reputation?

Mo Wu and Yao Qingtian likely guessed that Zhu Min wanted to take advantage of the situation.

After a moment of contemplation, Mo Wu finally spoke, “Regarding this matter of the forbidden zone’s anomaly, there are arguments on both sides. In my view, it would be better for both parties to agree to this challenge. Whoever wins will have the reason. The losing side must compensate. What do you think?”

“Good!”

Before the involved parties could voice their opinions, Zhu Min immediately agreed.

“Elder Mo’s suggestion is excellent. A life-and-death battle between the two sides cannot be refused!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng was deeply displeased, stating, “Elder Mo, my cultivation is shallow. You should find someone else to fight. I won’t participate.”

Mo Wu cast a flat glance at Chen Ansheng and transmitted, “Kid, at this point, do you still think you can stay out of it? Do you think some people will let you off? The only way forward is for me to step in and set a pact. In the future, if anyone dares to breach the pact and hunt you down, Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion will have solid grounds to help you. Do you understand?”

Chen Ansheng furrowed his brows slightly, inquiring through transmission, “May I ask what kind of pact Elder Mo wants to set for me?”

Mo Wu clasped his hands behind his back, looking at Zhu Min and the others. “Young Master Zhu, to resolve this matter, I will set three rules with you.”
