Chapter 854 Look, It’s Starting Again
“It’s starting, they’re starting to fight again!” “Zhou Tai’s so vicious. He’s using the power of his sword to overwhelm Xiao Chengfeng from the start. It’s crushing Xiao Chengfeng’s sword intent to pieces.”
“Hahaha, Xiao Chengfeng won’t amount to anything. Anyone would be able to bully him like that.”
“It looks like Xiao Chengfeng will definitely give up.”
As everyone talked, they had mocking smiles on their faces as their tones were incredibly snide. They were filled with disdain for Xiao Chengcheng.
They had already been unhappy the moment Xiao Chengfeng claimed that he was born to make Sword Cultivation eternal. Now that they saw how disappointing Xiao Chengfeng’s abilities were, their hearts were naturally filled with disdain.
They hoped that Xiao Chengfeng would be completely humiliated so that he would swallow his words.
Yet, they quickly noticed that Xiao Chengfeng had stopped retreating like before, and that he was starting to struggle against Zhou Tai.
That did nothing to change their disdain for him.
“It looks like he really likes this sword. He’s actually trying to fight Zhou Tai this time.”
“He doesn’t know his place. The only thing in store for him is to be humiliated by Zhou Tai. He might even lose his life.” “There’s too much of a gulf in skill between them. Xiao Chengfeng’s just some young rising star who doesn’t know his place. Zhou Tai’s the top swordmaster in the Wisdom Dictator Realm!”
“How lame, there’s no question about who will win at all.”
Those words caused Jiang Liu and Yun Chen to be speechless.
Double standards, all of them were dogs that had double standards.
When Xiao Chengfeng retreated from Zhou Tai’s challenge, they scolded him for being scared.
When Xiao Chengfeng struggled against Zhou Tai, they claimed he did not know his place. Xiao Chengfeng was being scolded no matter what he did.
Yun Chen could not help but lament, “Jiang Liu, Xiao Chengfeng really has enemies everywhere. He’s actually being targeted by everyone. What a rare circumstance.”
“Yun Chen, Xiao Chengfeng wants to walk a path that normal people would never be able to walk, so he naturally needs to cause ripples everywhere.”
Jiang Liu’s words filled Yun Chen with curiosity, so Yun Chen asked, “What kind of path is it?”
“The path of pretentiousness!”
Jiang Liu’s face was serious as he continued, “Being boastful is a hard road to walk. It’s naturally filled with many obstacles. Gathering hate wherever you go is something someone without great confidence and a tremendous heart can’t do! Walking this path requires the bravery to face all those pointing fingers. Then, it needs the resolve to stand up against being targetted like that!”
Yun Chen had a look of admiration on his face. “So that’s how it is. Xiao Chengfeng really is impressive!”
The Wisdom Pill Pavilion’s third elder looked at Xiao Chengfeng with a cold smile as a glint of elation flashed in his eyes. ‘Now do you know the consequence of offending the Wisdom Pill Pavilion? Back then, you were so pretentious and boastful. Now, look at the pathetic state you’re in. ‘I don’t just want your reputation and body to be ruined. I want you to die a horrible death, hahaha…’
Very few people in the world knew that Zhou Tai’s swordsmanship was already at a transcendent level.
Back then, to break into the Wisdom Dictator Realm, Zhou Tai had fought a true Wisdom Dictator. Even though he still lost in the end, his swordsmanship still managed to rattle the Wisdom Dictator.
It then did the Wisdom Pill Pavilion lend a hand, asking the Wisdom Dictator to spare Zhou Tai’s life. That was how they won Zhou Tai’s loyalty.
Of course, all of that had been kept a secret, or Zhou Tai’s reputation would have soared even more.
What could someone like Xiao Chengfeng do? This time, he was going to die!!!
On the Divine Sword Mountain, Zhou Tai’s eyes glinted as a cold smirk appeared on his lips. “Oh, you’re not going to retreat?”
It looked like Xiao Chengfeng really liked that sword. He was not willing to retreat, and even seemed to want to fight Zhou Tai.
Zhou Tai immediately intensified his sword intent.
Boom!
A tremendous amount of sword aura broke through the skies like raging thunder.
A strong and majestic lion appeared in the skies. The hair on its whole body looked as sharp as blades. Its eyes were incredibly fierce as well. Its gaze seemed to pierce through anything, causing everyone to shy away from looking at it!
“How strong. This is Zhou Tai’s sword aura’s given form!”
Countless sword practitioners felt their hearts drop at the sight as they were filled with shock.
At that moment, they felt like their swords were but small rabbits, about to be bitten off by that lion at any moment.
Those without firm hearts were even forced to retreat a few steps back in horror. That scene would forever haunt them.
Roar!
The lion roared as it lunged at Xiao Chengfeng. It seemed like it was the king of swords. Everywhere it went, Xiao Chengfeng’s sword intent would retreat.
Just when everyone thought that Xiao Chengfeng would not be able to hold it and would retreat again, he actually clenched his teeth as he took a step forward, trembling.
At that moment, thick sword intent surged out of his body as he prepared to fight the lion. “Oh? You’re still not retreating?” Zhou Tai had a curious and happy look on his face.
Zhou Tai’s goal had not been to disrupt Xiao Chengfeng and prevent him from getting any swords. Zhou Tai simply wanted Xiao Chengfeng to die!
Yet, he could not easily make his move on the Divine Sword Mountain. All he could do was mask it as an exchange of swordsmanship. It was very hard to kill someone in those circumstances. However, if the other party did not retreat immediately, the time to kill would come when both sides were deep in the battle!
“Hahaha, you seem to really like this sword. I’ll subdue this sword right in front of you then!”
Zhou Tai let out a crazed laugh as even more sword aura appeared from his body, causing the lion to grow even larger. At that moment, the lion seemed alive as it majestically stood in the skies, causing countless swords on the Divine Sword Mountain to shake and resonate with it.
The lion ignored Xiao Chengfeng as it started to walk toward the sword.
“Stay right there!” Xiao Chengfeng let out an angry roar. The sword aura in his body erupted violently as well, struggling against the lion.
The lion let out a soft roar as the sword flew up with a swipe of its claw, landing next to Zhou Tai.
“It really is a good sword, but it’s mine now!”
Zhou Tai looked at Xiao Chengfeng with a mocking gaze that was full of contempt.
Not only did he want to kill Xiao Chengfeng, he wanted to completely destroy his resolve!
“Pathetic, how pathetic. He has to look on as his beloved sword falls into someone else’s arms.”
“If you’re not strong enough, this is how it usually ends.” “If this goes on, will Xiao Chengfeng still be able to be so pretentious in the future?”
The crowd then noticed that there was no trace of sadness on Xiao Chengfeng’s face at all. Instead, he was calm as he revealed a smile.
His pathetic demeanor seemed to have completely disappeared. He looked like a completely different person.
“You can have that sword if you like it. There are tens of thousands of swords on the Divine Sword Mountain, but not a single one of them really catches my eye. My sword’s better than all of them!”
Xiao Chengfeng stood with his arms crossed as waves of sword aura surged out like the seas, causing even his robes to flutter in the wind.
ZA
Jiang Liu suddenly slapped his forehead.
He said to the dumbfounded Yun Chen, “Look, it’s starting again…”
