807 Invitation to Battle (2/2)
”He's the formidable authority of the Demon Sect. Moreover, since the battle in the Heaven Deity Palace, he's vanished without a trace. No one knows if he was heavily injured and secluded himself to treat his injuries, or if he had died inside. Even if he was found, so what? Can you beat him?”
Jiang Xiaodie sneered.
Shi Lei's martial arts were decent. In fact, it was more than decent and already at first-grade. However, compared to Sky Fiend Dao Master and other peak figures, he still lacked years' worth of accumulation.
”That's right!”
Mentioning this, Fu Hongmian was enraged and kicked Shi Lei. ”There were so many rare swords, but Stone Oaf only chose a stone sword. You truly are the death of me!”
”The stone sword is really nice to use. Furthermore… Master had it fall next to me, so there must be a deep meaning!”
Shi Lei touched his weapon.
It was a long, stone sword.
While it was called a sword, it was somewhat insulting to the word 'sword'. To outsiders, it was a thick and heavy slab of stone that was barely carved into the form of a long sword. The handicraft was incomparable clumsy, like a child had conveniently scrawled it.
”However, I feel that the material of this sword is unusual. Normal stones break after getting struck by other swords, but this stone sword could last until now…” Jiang Xiaodie said comfortingly.
”What's the use of having good material, to pound someone dead?” Fu Hongmian was still enraged. ”Stone Oaf, we should go to Heaven Capital Peak to look at who has the Five Elements Cloud Qi Sword. If it's one of Master's old acquaintances, I won't say anything, but if they aren't related, you'll take it. At most, you can help her dispatch that whatever Curmudgeon Myriad Poisons. This is helping her to our best already…”
”How could we do that?”
Shi Lei shook his hands quickly.
However, Jiang Xiaodie nodded. ”Shi Lei, your sword… Although it isn't ordinary, it's really too heavy. You should get a Divine Armament to fight against your enemy! However, Curmudgeon Myriad Poisons is already at Heavenly Phenomenon, and those that can compete with him aren't simple! It's better to be safe than sorry.”
”It's all because of Shi Lei! He's too dumb… Oh, right!” Fu Hongmian complained out of habit but suddenly thought of something. She looked at Jiang Xiaodie and asked, ”Sister, why are you traveling in the Pugilistic World?”
”Me?” Jiang Xiaodie touched the long strip behind her back and replied, ”It's to find a… person worthy of my attack! I hope he… won't disappoint me…”
As she said that, it seemed as though that overbearing and wild figure appeared before her eyes.
…
Heaven Capital Peak.
At the moment, at a dangerous place in Emerald Rock Commandery, there was a mountain peak that was like a sword piercing the clouds. At the midsection of the mountain, there was a dragon-like cloud encircling. The sight was spectacular.
Since news of the battle between the current generation Five Elements Cloud Qi Sword owner and the Demon Sect's Curmudgeon Myriad Poisons at the mountain peak had spread, the mountain had become thoroughly crowded. It was unknown how many martial artists came, but unfortunately, they were reminded of their disastrous defeat at the foot of the mountain.
However, every expert had their own ego. How could they tolerate it when they were treated like monkeys in public?
Thus, the Demon Sect had already assigned people around the area to clear the scene.
Of course, what they needed to clear were merely the small fish. The true experts were unconcerned.
”Wow… So many people!”
At the moment, there was a fighting ring in front of the path up the mountain, and many martial artists were surrounding it.
This was what Shi Lei saw when he arrived.
”What happened?”
Fu Hongmian was lively and directly grabbed a martial artist beside her to ask.
The martial artist wanted to explode, but his temper became much better when he saw that it was such an innocent and adorable girl. He said, ”It's all because of those demon brutes. They've shamelessly sealed the mountain, and Gu Qixing even said that whoever could defeat him while he's using half his strength would be able to witness the battle on the mountain! Wait until I adjust my Qi properly, and I'll definitely go beat the crap out of him. He's basically bullying us Orthodox Dao martial artists!”
Of course, this was all talk. It was impossible for him to really go up and fight.
After all, Gu Qixing had made fierce progress during the last year and had already entered first-grade. Even though he was not at Heavenly Phenomenon yet, he was still one of the best! Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
This martial artist knew about his own matters, and he could only be called mighty in a small commandery. If he really got on stage, with his middling skill, he would probably be knocked off with a kick and lose face.
Those in the Pugilistic World could lose their lives, but their face and reputation could never be lost. Otherwise, dying was better than living.
”Gu Qixing!” Hearing this news, Fu Hongmian's eyes lit up even brighter. He pulled Shi Lei's arm. ”Stone Oaf, go and beat him!”
”Ah?” Shi Lei touched his head. ”Why?”
”Are you dumb? If you don't beat him, how do we go up the mountain? Besides… this person isn't Heavenly Phenomenon yet, so you can definitely beat him!”
”Haha!”
The martial artist beside them was speechless. How could this pair of youths boast more wildly than him?
Did they know what a first-grade grandmaster was? Not being Heavenly Phenomenon still meant that he was undoubtedly at the peak of the Pugilistic World and sufficient to found a sect.
It was almost enough to make even the masters of a few large holy grounds need to maintain appearances.
