Chapter 719 - 318: Decided in a Single Battle
Xu Guang no longer spoke about matters related to Fish Falling Lotus but instead issued a challenge to Mu Yusheng under the guise of seeking instruction.Mu Yusheng clearly understood that this was something he could not refuse.
If he wished to become the Holy Master today, he had to face Xu Guang’s challenge; this was an open scheme.
No disciple would recognize their Holy Master as a coward.
The opponent choosing such a day must have been premeditated.
The opponent seemed to have already set their sights on him.
He swept his gaze over the faces of everyone around, wanting to know who exactly had brought Xu Guang in.
It must be those few old undying ones who didn’t want him to become the Holy Master.
After this matter, he would make those people pay.
As for the disciples of Tianya Holy Land, some were outraged, some expectant.
The outraged ones were, of course, Mu Yusheng’s people.
The expectant ones were the majority.
Because, in their view, this was a highly anticipated duel.
Although Xu Guang only possessed First Nirvana Cultivation, his combat power was astonishing; he single-handedly cleared an eight-hundred-mile demon land, something dreamlike, and he enjoyed considerable fame in the Wan Chuan State.
He was a personal disciple of the True King, eminently a prodigy of the region.
Mu Yusheng, on the other hand, needs no further elaboration. Since achieving the Five Realms, he hadn’t taken action for years, boasting incredible strength.
The duel between the two would be a battle of dragon versus tiger, and they loved to watch such confrontations.
Despite his reluctance, Mu Yusheng felt that Xu Guang’s identity as First Nirvana meant he would suffer in such a duel.
Winning wouldn’t greatly bolster his reputation; losing would be catastrophic.
He swept his gaze around.
Immediately, a disciple stood up, looking at Xu Guang and mocked.
"What kind of person is my Senior Brother Mu? If anyone could come and challenge him, then when would he cultivate? How could he shoulder the future of Tianya Holy Land? If you want to become my senior brother’s stepping stone, ask yourself first, do you qualify?"
Xu Guang was entirely indifferent to his humiliation, only looking at him with a calm gaze.
"May I ask your name, sir?"
The young disciple raised his head high, "Tianya Holy Land - Liu Nienshan."
Xu Guang extended his left hand, gesturing as if inviting, "Then, sir, do you dare to fight?"
The disciples present grew excited.
Xu Guang’s demeanor was incredibly composed, perfectly embodying the pride and confidence of a prodigy in everyone’s mind.
In the face of skepticism, he offered no explanations, nor did he brag about his achievements or background, only serenely using the sword in his hand to prove himself.
Liu Nienshan stepped forward.
The moment he moved, the battle commenced.
Behind him, layers of clouds condensed, as if the space was rippling, seeming like a galaxy emerging from the void.
"It’s Senior Brother Liu’s Silver Dragon Celestial Talisman, a high-grade talisman treasure, already refined to the Five Realms, combined with two Five Realm magical treasures, its power is formidable!"
Xu Guang said nothing, merely taking a step forward, the Five Divine Techniques manifested, the Five Emperor Dharma Bodies emerged behind him, as ethereal Russian fairies danced, golden clouds spread across the sky, and countless heavenly soldiers and generals stood on top as the great sun seemed to follow the Five Emperors.
The journey of patrolling heavens, trampling rules.
The Silver Dragon Celestial Talisman transformed into a galaxy, sweeping out countless overwhelming waves.
The Five Emperors seemed to sense provocation, roaring in unison, akin to heavenly might.
Five beams of divine light converged, blending into chaos, then split into the Five Elements.
Five-Colored Divine Light!
The most dazzling divine light swept across between heaven and earth.
Subsequently, all anomalies between heaven and earth vanished.
But what shocked the spectators was.
Xu Guang’s sword was already resting upon Liu Nienshan’s neck.
His gaze calm, as if he was doing something trivial.
Liu Nienshan’s face was full of disbelief, as a Five Realm Cultivator, he had lost to a First Nirvana Martial Artist, despite knowing beforehand that the opponent’s combat power was astonishing.
Yet, he couldn’t have anticipated such an outcome.
The opponent’s fighting prowess...
Was simply too astounding.
The spectators were likewise in shock.
This could truly be described as a comprehensive domination.
Xu Guang’s eyes remained devoid of any ripple, merely sweeping calmly over the faces of everyone present, finally landing on Mu Yusheng’s face.
The bronze long sword in his hand slowly rose, crossing the air.
"Please instruct me, Saint Heir."
...
In the distance, clouds drifted in.
The leading elder of Tianya Holy Land saw this, his face revealed shock.
Immediately, he quickly approached.
"I wasn’t aware a Saint was personally visiting, greetings from Tianya Holy Land."
It was a Saint!
A Saint personally visiting?
This was truly shocking.
The disciples of Tianya Holy Land wore eager expressions, even as holy land disciples, few had the privilege to meet a Saint.
And now, a true Saint had appeared here.
Saint Zixiao appeared in the sky, accompanied by Yan Ruge.
She glanced at the speaking elder of Tianya Holy Land without responding.
It was Yan Ruge who spoke.
As the Grand Elder of Tianya Holy Land, he was unqualified to converse with a Saint.
"My teacher heard that Xu Guang wished to duel with your holy land’s Saint Heir, Mu Yusheng, and came specifically to observe, so there’s no need for concern, everyone."
No need for concern?
The crowd made odd expressions; who could remain unconcerned with a Saint present?
Mu Yusheng knew too that this battle was now unavoidable.
So he slowly stepped out from the crowd, first saluting Saint Zixiao.
Then he smiled warmly at Xu Guang.
"Mr. Xu, how did it come to this between us? It shouldn’t have happened; it’s not that I don’t want to help you contact Junior Sister, but I really don’t know where he is."
"Forget it, Mu Yusheng is not an awe-inspiring figure, instruction I dare not, just mutually discussing our learnings."
Xu Guang was expressionless, "Xu Mou challenges the Saint Heir, unrelated to anything else, merely a spur-of-the-moment desire to verify the Martial Dao."
