Chapter 3783 Attention
“The Hidden Fog Sect and the 10,000 Devils Sect are b.u.t.ting heads again?”
“Sect Leader Lan Qing wants to make a bet with the Sect Leader Qian Yin. He wants Du Po Jun, a core disciple of the 10,000 Devils Sect, to fight two disciples from the Hidden Fog Sect!”
“Du Po Jun? He’s one of the strongest among the younger generation in the 10,000 Devils Sect, right? In fact, he’s only second to Yang Qian Ye in the 10,000 Devils Sect! However, it still wouldn’t be easy for him to go against two opponents at once, right?”
“What’s wrong with the Hidden Fog Sect? Why are they afraid to accept the challenge?”
Among those who had gathered to watch the show, there were sectless cultivators and many from other king-rank forces and lord-ranks forces.
At this moment, everyone looked at Qian Yin curiously.
With everyone’s eyes on him, Qian Yin’s expression turned gloomy.
“Sect leader, you have to agree to the challenge,” Supreme Elder Lei said through Voice Transmission, “If we refuse him, we’ll only be embarra.s.sing ourselves. Indeed, it’d be embarra.s.sing to lose as well. However, there’s no need for us to win. All we have to do is fight to a draw.”
Supreme Elder Lei had clearly given thought to this matter. Naturally, he did not mention anything about the one million divine rocks since it was just an insignificant number to the Hidden Fog Sect. Compared to the pride of the Hidden Fog Sect, the one million divine rocks were nothing.
At this time, the grey-clad young man stepped forward and said to Qian Yin, “Sect Leader, I, Lin Xiong, am willing to fight.”
Following that, the green-clad young man stepped forward as well. “I, Liu Yi Ming, am willing to fight as well.”
Lin Xiong and Liu Yi Ming were as famous as Shangguan Xiong Feng when he was alive. After all, they were the three strongest core disciples in the Hidden Fog Sect. In fact, the duo was ranked higher than Shangguan Xiong
Feng.
Liu Yi Ming was a disciple of Supreme Elder Yun while Lin Xiong was the disciple of Supreme Elder Wu.
The duo had heard about Du Po Jun, the core disciple of the 10,000 Devils Sect. They knew it would be difficult to defeat Du Po Jun if they were to fight him alone. However, they were more confident since they were allowed to join forces to fight Du Po Jun. In fact, they thought it would be easy for them to defeat Du Po Jun if they joined forces.
“Sect Leader Qian Yin,” Lan Qing said mockingly, “Your disciples have already volunteered so why are you still hesitating? If you really don’t have the guts to accept this bet, you can just say so. I won’t force you then if that’s the case.”
The contemptuous smile on Lan Qing’s face was truly unpleasant to look at for the people of the Hidden Fog Sect. Alas, despite their anger, there was nothing they could do. They could only hope that Liu Yi Ming and Lin Xiong would be able to help them to vent their anger.
At this time, Qian Yin finally regained his senses. He sneered at Lan Qing and said, “Who said I’m afraid to accept the bet? Since the 10,000 Devils Sect insists on giving us a million divine rocks, how can we refuse? Liu Yi Ming, Lin Xiong, step forward. I’ll give you a chance to fight with Du Po Jun.” Then, he added in a louder voice, “The sword can’t differentiate between friends and foes. Even if you accidentally injured Du Po Jun, I’m sure the 10,000 Devils Sect won’t blame you.”
Although Du Po Jun was strong, Lin Xiong and Liu Yi Ming, who were disciples of Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu, were no pushovers either.
Now that everything had been said and done, everyone, including those from the Linghu clan and the Murong clan, retreated to the side so the core disciples from the 10,000 Devils Sect and the Hidden Fog Sect could fight.
At this time, Du Po Jun hovered in the air and looked at Lin Xiong and Liu Yi Ming disdainfully with a frosty gaze.
On the contrary, Lin Xiong and Liu Yi Ming were solemn and vigilant.
It was clear which of them had a stronger aura.
“Duan Ling Tian, who do you think will win?” Hou Qi Ning asked curiously.
“It’s hard to say for now,” Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head, “However, based on how Sect Leader Lan Qing took the initiative to propose this and Du Po Jun’s confidence, the 10,000 Devils Sect has a better chance of winning.”
After a few minutes, Hou Qing Ning said again through Voice Transmission, “There are two people from the Hidden Fog Sect while there’s only one person from the 10,000 Devils Sect. This means it’d be doubly embarra.s.sing if the Hidden Fog Sect loses.”
“Not only that, but even if the 10,000 Devils Sect loses, it won’t be embarra.s.sing at all. After all, Du Po Jun would be fighting two opponents at once. In fact, if the Hidden Fog Sect wins, there’s nothing worth being proud of at all. Hence, the Hidden Fog Sect has everything to lose in this bet,” Duan Ling Tian said, a.n.a.lyzing everything clearly. Despite the embarra.s.sment, if he were in Qian Yin’s shoes, he would not have accepted the bet since it was clearly too disadvantageous.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Du Po Jun, the core disciple from the 10,000 Devils Sect, and Lin Xiong and Liu Yi Ming, the core disciples from the Hidden Fog Sect, began to move at almost the same time after a brief moment of silence.
Those with a discerning eye would be able to see that Lin Xiong and Liu Yi Ming had moved first. Du Po Jun only followed up after the duo attacked.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Divine Energies surged as the trio charged out and brought their divine artifacts out. All of them brought mediocre divine artifacts.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
As the trio moved, they stirred up a gust of wind in the air. When their attacks collided, the shockwave from the collision rippled out in all directions.
Qian Yin and Lan Qing quickly took action and dispelled the shockwave so that it would not affect the onlookers. No matter how strong the trio was, they were just advanced Kings of G.o.ds. It was naturally easy for Lan Qing and Qian Yin, who were Lords of G.o.ds, to dispel the shockwave of their attacks. Moreover, they were not new rudimentary Lords of G.o.ds. Even if the trio joined forces to attack them, they would be able to easily kill the trio.
The onlookers were in an uproar at this time when they saw the result of the collision. Although Du Po Jun did not win yet, he still drew level with Lin Xiong and Liu Yi Ming. With this, many people sighed at the lack of talents in the Hidden Fog Sect.
“Du Po Jun is really strong!”
“That’s right. He’s on par with both of them when they joined forces! He’s really deserving of his reputation!”
“Since Xue Hai Chuan from 10,000 years ago, the Hidden Fog Sect hasn’t seen any outstanding disciples. The 10,000 Devils Sect is far superior to the Hidden Fog Sect in regard to the talents among the younger generation.”
“I agree! Moreover, Du Po Jun isn’t even the strongest among the younger generation in the 10,000 Devils Sect. There’s Yang Qian Ye who’s even stronger.”
“Speaking of, why isn’t Yang Qian Ye here?”
“Rumor has it that Yang Qian Ye has been recruited by a top emperor-rank force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Needless to say, that emperor-rank force is stronger than the Flying Dragon Sect. If you were Yang Qian Ye, would you still join the Flying Dragon Sect?”
At this time, someone suddenly said with a chuckle, “In fact, there used to be a prodigy comparable to Xue Hai Chuan in the Hidden Fog Sect. In fact, he’s even more talented than Xue Hai Chuan when Xue Hai Chuan was his age. It’s a pity he left the Hidden Fog Sect.”
With this, the crowd broke out into another discussion.
“Duan Ling Tian? He was forced to leave the Hidden Fog Sect? I thought he betrayed the Hidden Fog Sect to join the Linghu clan? Moreover, the Hidden Fog Sect was so magnanimous that they even wished him well after he left.”
“Betray the Hidden Fog Sect? That was just a rumor released by the Hidden Fog Sect to smear Duan Ling Tian’s reputation. I have a friend who’s an inner elder in the Hidden Fog Sect. According to him, Duan Ling tian only left the Hidden Fog Sect because he killed Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao after they provoked him and tried to kill him. However, the duo was the disciples of the Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei respectively. Needless to say, the two supreme elders wouldn’t have let Duan Ling Tian off for that. It was for that his own safety that Duan Ling Tian left the Hidden Fog Sect for the Linghu clan!”
Ine
“If this is the case, then this is the Hidden Fog Sect’s retribution. After all, if Duan Ling Tian were still in the Hidden Fog Sect, he might be able to win this fight for the Hidden Fog Sect!”
Now that Duan Ling Tian had been brought up, many people searched for him with their eyes.
“There’s Duan Ling Tian!”
“How handsome! He doesn’t look like he’s capable of killing Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao at all!”
“It’s not just that! It’s said that he’s also an outstanding divine alchemist who can refine G.o.d-grade Limit Divine Pills!”
Among the people who stared at Duan Ling Tian, there was no lack of young women who looked at Duan Ling Tian flirtatiously.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was completely unaware of the stares. He was focused on the battle in front of him as he chatted with Hou Qing Ning through Voice Transmission. At this moment, he said, “Those two from the Hidden Fog Sect are about to lose.”
“Hmm?” Hou Qing Ning was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s sudden words when the trio had yet to make a move.
All of a sudden…
Boom!
A powerful energy surged from Du Po Jun’s body as he activated his bloodline power.
