Chapter 292 You Dare!!!
Zhang Chen looked at Chu Mingyue rushing towards him, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth. If the opponent used weapons, relying on his superior reaction speed and enhanced strength, he might have been a little afraid, but now?
Ultrasonic waves spread out, and the direction of the muscle lines on the opponent's body reflected in his eyes. Zhang Chen ignored Chu Mingyue's palm and stabbed the iron sword towards a certain open space according to some mysterious trajectory.
"Zhang Chen's sword is destined to miss. Warriors who have cultivated their Qi and blood are completely different species from ordinary warriors," someone exclaimed in surprise.
The little bean sprout clenched his fists in his sleeves, his eyes filled with nervousness.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Chen was at a disadvantage because of his lack of speed, and that sword missed, but only Zhang Chen knew that he would definitely hit with this sword.
Chu Mingyue's punch arrived first, reaching Zhang Chen's body first, but as soon as his fist touched Zhang Chen's skin, the immobilization talisman immediately took effect, falling into the opponent's fist along Zhang Chen's skin.
This was a fifth-order immobilization talisman, how could Chu Mingyue break free?
In an instant, Chu Mingyue was immobilized, and at this time, Zhang Chen's sword was also wonderfully perfect, directly piercing into Chu Mingyue's crotch, and then a piece of meat fell down.
From the moment Chu Mingyue was immobilized to the moment Zhang Chen used his sword to cut off Chu Mingyue's *******, it was only a matter of a breath. At this time, Zhang Chen also timely withdrew the immobilization talisman and quickly retreated.
Outsiders couldn't detect the strangeness at all. Logically speaking, Chu Mingyue's punch should have sent Zhang Chen flying first, but who knew that Chu Mingyue's movements would suddenly slow down at the critical moment, so everyone was puzzled. Could it be that Chu Mingyue's internal injuries had erupted?
As for the immobilization talisman causing Chu Mingyue to be immobilized, the immobilization talisman was too secretive. Whether it was the Great Perfected Ones peeking in the dark, or the elders and disciples, no one thought in this direction. All of this was attributed to Chu Mingyue's inability to suppress the injuries in his body, and the injuries in his body erupted.
Is that all?
"This kid is too lucky. Who would have thought that Chu Mingyue's internal injuries would erupt at the critical moment, allowing him to pick up a bargain for nothing."
An elder from Huangli Temple sighed secretly, and couldn't help but mutter that Chu Mingyue was unlucky. Even if the internal injuries erupted, I'm afraid he won't be able to be a man in the future.
"Ah..."
Chu Mingyue's screams came from the stands. Chu Mingyue squatted on the ground, rolling around in pain. His body had already suffered heavy damage, and now that his yang root had been cut off, the forcibly gathered aura could no longer be maintained and directly collapsed.
"Zhang Chen, in a competition between fellow disciples, how could you be so cruel?" Liu Feng quickly ascended the arena, checked Chu Mingyue, looked at the piece of meat falling on the arena, turned his head and glared at Zhang Chen, his voice filled with anger.
Zhang Chen's face was full of innocence: "Abbot, I don't know why this happened. My sword was originally going to miss, and I couldn't hit Chu Mingyue at all, but who knew that Chu Mingyue would suddenly stop at the critical moment and no longer dodge, as if he had taken my attack head-on. Disciple is really wronged."
Zhang Chen complained constantly at this time, as if he had been wronged by heaven. He was the victim, and with that helpless little expression, he looked more wronged than Dou E.
"Senior Brother Chu Mingyue, are you okay? Junior brother accidentally injured you, please forgive junior brother's sins. Junior brother is willing to make compensation, and junior brother is willing to plead guilty and accept punishment." Zhang Chen rushed to Chu Mingyue at this time, squatted down and sincerely apologized to Chu Mingyue, his voice full of innocence.
No one would have thought that Zhang Chen was deliberately doing it.
But this matter could not be concealed from the person involved, Chu Mingyue. At this time, Chu Mingyue covered his crotch, his eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at Zhang Chen, his voice was shrill like a night owl: "Zhang Chen, you did it on purpose! You did it on purpose! I want you to die, I want you to die!"
Chu Mingyue wanted to pounce on Zhang Chen, but instead fell directly to the ground. At this time, his internal injuries erupted, and he couldn't move.
"Chu Mingyue, could it be that you can't afford to lose? All of us present saw with our own eyes that this was an accident. That sword was originally not going to hit you, but your internal injuries suddenly erupted, causing your body to be unable to move, so you were injured by Zhang Chen's sword. It's clearly your own fault, why do you have to be unreasonable and slander Junior Brother Zhang Chen?" Cheng Yu naturally couldn't see Zhang Chen being 'smeared', so he took the initiative to stand up for Zhang Chen.
As soon as these words came out, the elders all discussed and felt that what the little bean sprout said made sense. Liu Feng stood on the arena with a gloomy face, checked Chu Mingyue's injuries, and asked his disciples to take him down for medical treatment.
Everyone was not blind, and of course they could see that this was an accident, so Liu Feng couldn't blame Zhang Chen, but looked at Zhang Chen with a gloomy face and said:
"Now only you and Little Prince are left. Do you want to continue the competition?"
"Little Prince has a noble status. He is the son of the Prince of Pingbian's Mansion. No one in the Northern Territory dares to fight him. Swords and spears have no eyes. If you accidentally injure Little Prince, I'm afraid you will die a hundred times. Moreover, Little Prince has mastered innate divine powers. You are definitely not Little Prince's match. Do you want to continue the competition?"
Liu Feng looked at Zhang Chen. Although what he said was a question, Liu Feng's demeanor, movements, and tone all indicated his will.
Hearing Liu Feng's words, Zhang Chen seemed not to have heard the meaning in his words, but smiled and said: "Since we have already come to this point, we should always try. What if the disciple succeeds by chance? What if Little Prince is as unlucky as Chu Mingyue? Moreover, if the disciple doesn't go up to compete, even if Little Prince wins the championship, it won't be justified. Wouldn't the disciple put Little Prince in an unfavorable position?"
Liu Feng's face darkened even more when he heard this. He gave Zhang Chen a cold look, but did not continue to persuade him. Little Prince was a god, and Zhang Chen was just a mortal. He couldn't see any hope of Zhang Chen winning.
"You are really ignorant. How can you peek into the power of a god? When Little Prince takes action and cripples you, you will be too late to regret it. Even Chief Xie can't protect you." Liu Feng sneered at Zhang Chen with a gloomy face, then turned to look at Zhang Xiaohua, who was watching from the side:
"Young Master, please come to the stage. I can only trouble you to take a trip."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled, walked onto the arena as easily as if he were returning home, nodded to Liu Feng, and then looked at Zhang Chen with his eyes, his voice full of praise, and said condescendingly: "I didn't expect that you could actually come to this point and have the opportunity to compete with me on the same stage."
"It's just a coincidence, I hope Young Master will be merciful." Zhang Chen held the sword and complimented Zhang Xiaohua.
“Don't worry, for the sake of Commander Xie, I will naturally show mercy and not let you die on the arena.” Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Chen, a murderous intent surging in his heart. The grievances between him and Zhang Chen had long been irreconcilable. He had only refrained from acting against Zhang Chen before out of consideration for Xie Lingyun.
But now, ascending the arena, both sides compete on the same stage. If he accidentally crippled this kid, even Xie Lingyun wouldn't be able to say anything.
While speaking, Zhang Xiaohua's gauze transformed into a golden garment, which he wore on his body.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen raised his sword, used his ultrasonic perception, and then thrust out with his sword.
Facing Zhang Chen's thrust, Zhang Xiaohua didn't dodge, a look of confidence in his eyes. Zhang Chen was just a mere mortal ant; how could he break through his protective ability?
However, the next moment, Zhang Chen's sword touched the golden gauze, and the golden gauze was like paper, instantly pierced. Then Zhang Chen's sword stopped at Zhang Xiaohua's throat.
He didn't deliver a fatal blow to Zhang Xiaohua. For him, climbing higher and obtaining a higher-level version of the Qi Refining Technique was the most important thing. Zhang Xiaohua was not worth ruining his grand plan.
“Young Master, I concede. Thank you for letting me win, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to win! I will never forget your kindness, Young Master.” Zhang Chen smiled and put away his sword, his eyes looking at Zhang Xiaohua. In the depths of his pupils, a golden light flowed. He could clearly see that as he defeated Zhang Xiaohua, a trace of inexplicable destiny flowed from Zhang Xiaohua to him.
That was the destiny belonging to the Star God position!
Zhang Xiaohua looked at his broken ability, and then looked at the smiling, extremely hateful face opposite him. His brain was blank, and his eyes were full of confusion: “What happened? What about my protective divine power? How could it be like paper, directly pierced? Leaving him no chance to react?”
Not only was Zhang Xiaohua dumbfounded, but at this time, the elders, disciples, and followers in the audience all looked at the arena with surprised eyes, filled with disbelief.
“Zhang Chen, how dare you draw your sword against the Young Master? Quickly admit defeat and apologize!”
Just as Zhang Xiaohua was in a daze, Liu Feng roared angrily and jumped up from under the arena, glaring at Zhang Chen, his voice full of suppressed anger.
The moment he saw Zhang Xiaohua defeated in one move, he felt that the sky had fallen. The carefully calculated plan had failed, and all the layouts were disrupted. He was in a state of confusion.
How to end this now?
He had promised Gu Mingyue and Zhang Xiaohua, promised the Pingbian Royal Mansion, that he would definitely push Zhang Xiaohua to that position, making him a candidate for the Star God. Originally, everything was going smoothly, but since Li Donglai and Wu Ming'er betrayed, everything had changed and was no longer under control.
Hearing Liu Feng's words, Zhang Chen refused to bow his head and admit defeat. Now was his chance to climb up, the fastest opportunity for him to obtain a higher-level Qi Refining Technique. How could he give it up?
“Abbot, you are mistaken. What kind of person is the Young Master? He clearly intended to let me win earlier. Now that I have won, how could the Young Master blame me? The Young Master is magnanimous, how could he be the kind of person who can't afford to lose? Where does the Abbot's words place the Young Master? Wouldn't that make the disciples in the Taoist temple think that the Young Master can't afford to lose? I absolutely cannot do such a thing that damages the Young Master's reputation.” Zhang Chen spoke righteously, his words standing on the moral high ground, his voice full of righteousness and excitement.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua came back to his senses, his face turning purple with anger, but he couldn't say a word. Liu Feng on the side was also speechless, glaring at Zhang Chen, not knowing how to refute.
He never expected that a mere poor boy would dare to refute his words. Who gave him the courage?
In his eyes, he was like an ant, a little bug that he could crush to death at any time, but now he dared to resist his will?
Out of control!
Everything is completely out of control!
But no matter what, Zhang Xiaohua winning the first place and winning the top spot to become a Star God candidate is just a predetermined exchange of interests, and there must be no mistakes.
But now there is still a chance to make up for it. As long as Zhang Chen bows his head, that luck can still be taken back.
“Zhang Chen, I don't listen to your words. You are disrespectful to the Young Master, and you used weapons against the Young Master. The Young Master is generous and doesn't hold you accountable for your sins. Why don't you quickly kneel down and thank him for his grace? The Young Master is generous, how can you be so insensible?” Liu Feng glared at Zhang Chen, wanting to force Zhang Chen to bow his head.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen smiled slightly: “Abbot, you are mistaken. Since it is a competition between fellow disciples, after ascending the arena, naturally everyone relies on their own abilities and there are no restrictions. If the disciples are restrained because of his status as the Young Master, and use hierarchy to suppress people, why should we compete? You can directly give him the first place, what's the point of everyone competing?”
Zhang Chen's voice was full of teasing: “You might as well just strip me of the identity of the first place in the competition now and directly announce that the Young Master is the first place.”
“Zhang Chen! Do you know what you are saying? Who are you talking to?” Liu Feng's eyes stared at Zhang Chen, his body trembling with anger, wishing he could slap Zhang Chen to death.
If he hadn't felt pity and saved him back then, this guy would have become fertilizer long ago. How dare he talk to him like this?
Dare to disobey his will?
Endless anger surged into his heart, making him want to kill Zhang Chen immediately.
At this time, the elders and disciples under the stage whispered to each other. It should be known that many people under the stage are not disciples of Huangli Taoist Temple and are not under Liu Feng's jurisdiction. Seeing this scene in the arena at this time, someone opened his mouth and said: “Liu Feng, you are too unreasonable. Since it is a martial arts competition, naturally there is no distinction between identities. You are forcing Zhang Chen to admit defeat like this. Have you ever thought about the Young Master's thoughts? Do you think the Young Master is the kind of person who can't afford to lose?”
“That's right, the Young Master is so generous, how could he be the kind of person who can't afford to lose? You must not lose the face of the Pingbian Royal Mansion and the face of the Young Master.” Another Taoist temple elder opened his mouth and mocked, not knowing whether he was mocking Liu Feng or directly mocking Zhang Xiaohua and the Pingbian Royal Mansion.
“Not bad, not bad, your attitude is not good. If it spreads, people will think that the Young Master can't afford to lose. Where will the Young Master's face be placed in the future?”
“The Young Master's lifelong reputation, how can it be ruined in your hands?”
“That's right, if you can't afford to lose even a small competition, people in the northern region will probably not know how to evaluate the Young Master.”
“You are just ruining the Young Master's reputation.”
“According to your statement, everyone might as well not compete, you might as well just award the first place to the Young Master.”
