Chapter 596: Chapter 283: Begging for a Defeat (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

He casually flicked off the blood from his blade, then held his sword and surveyed those present, especially the disciples from ‘Beitian Sect’ and ‘Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City’.

With hands clasped in a respectful salute, “I’m Chu Xisheng of the Formless Divine Sect’s internal lineage! I have long admired and revered for the Martial Arts heritage of the great sects in the Northern region, and have always wished to see the grandeur of each family’s heroes, to witness the Martial Arts of the various sect heroes, yet I lacked the opportunity.

Today is just the right moment, before the Time Secret Realm opens, and while all the heroes are gathered here, I, Chu, would like to challenge all of you here and request the honor of being defeated!”

He said with a hearty smile, “Those qualified to enter the Time Secret Realm are all the elite disciples of their respective families, so I presume none will disappoint me?”

At this moment, once again, the entire Grand Canyon fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone’s expressions were serious, even incredulous, as they looked at Chu Xisheng.

Chu Ming was also stunned.

She had felt a bit of schadenfreude when she saw Chu Xisheng fall into Yiin Feihong’s trap.

That Mr. Yiin was definitely up to no good.

Chu Xisheng killing Yiin Feihong also indirectly saved her face.

After all, she barely managed to endure forty-four of Chu Xisheng’s slashes, whereas Yiin Feihong was beheaded after merely two.

Even if Yiin Feihong had not used the Nine Yang Breaking Yuan Needle, he would have been defeated in one slash.

But when she heard Chu Xisheng’s challenge, her face gradually turned pale.

Compared to Chu Xisheng’s spirited and assertive challenge, her reaction just then seemed much too timid.

The members of the Formless Divine Sect, after their initial shock, were invigorated.

Chu Xisheng appeared completely unaffected by the previous assassination attempt and had, in turn, provoked the other five sects.

Requesting the honor of being defeated—how domineering!

That is indeed the demeanor of a Blood Vengeance Candidate, a Super Genius of the Qingyun General List!

He picked up the dignity that the Formless Divine Sect had lost.

And at this point, the numerous disciples from ‘Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City’, ‘Beitian Sect’, ‘Xuanming Sect’, ‘Cliff Sword Sect’, and ‘Eternal Cold Palace’ were all silent as graves.

They had solemn expressions, each with their own thoughts.

Those who had the confidence to fight Chu Xisheng at this point were mostly older, around twenty years old, and could not put down their pride; those of the same age as Chu Xisheng felt they were not strong enough, and lacked the confidence. To forcibly accept the challenge would only lead to embarrassment.

If they couldn’t even withstand a single strike from Chu Xisheng, what purpose would there be other than to make a fool of themselves?

Chu Xisheng waited for a full twenty breaths. Seeing that no one from the five groups stood up to accept the challenge, he frowned slightly.

His expression slightly disappointed, he shook his head, “It seems I’ve been presumptuous. If you don’t wish to honor me with a battle, it must be because you think little of my sword skill. In that case, I retract my previous statements. If there has been any offense in my words, I ask for your forgiveness.”

By this time, several older disciples from ‘Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City’ and ‘Beitian Sect’ had made up their minds to swallow their pride,

Being laughed at for having a thick skin is better than being ridiculed for cowardice, bringing shame to one’s sect.

Upon hearing Chu Xisheng’s words, they felt a tightness in their chest.

Chu Xisheng’s words were courteous, as if implying they disdained his Sword Skill and were unwilling to fight.

However, once word of today’s events spread, everyone would guess what truly happened.

The faces of the five great sects were completely lost today! Chu Xisheng had trampled them into the mud.

The few had already decided to fight at the initial opportunity, determined to make Chu Xisheng pay for his arrogance.

But as decisive as Chu Xisheng’s challenge was, his retreat was also swift.

As his words concluded, he had already retreated back into the Formless Divine Sect disciples’ ranks and disappeared from sight.

The leading elders and Great Elders of the several sects all had ashen faces, looking back at their disciples with a mixture of shame and annoyance.

They all considered their own disciples to be lacking in courage, causing shame to the sect.

At this time, in an unnoticed corner of the canyon.

A red-haired young man was sitting on a green stone, watching Chu Xisheng with great interest.

He was in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was carrying a broadsword about six fingers wide, wrapped in ominous energy.

That broadsword vibrated lightly, seemingly eager to join the battle but was forcefully restrained by him.

“Killing Jian Qin Ren, you indeed came as well.”

A clear voice arose from behind the red-haired youth, “Brother Qin, why didn’t you accept the challenge just now? I heard that half a year ago, you had already qualified as a true inheritor of the North Heaven Sect. With your strength, you could have definitely granted him defeat.”

Killing Jian Qin Ren turned around and gave a glance, then nodded in understanding, “Divine Desolation Tianhuang Eternal City’s Yin Yang Saber Zhou Tianyuan.”

It was a man of about his age with delicate features but no eyebrows.

He carried a pair of Yin Yang Sabers, one on each side of his waist.

His words were tinged with mockery, “I’m a whole five years older than him; defeating him wouldn’t be honorable. You, Zhou Tianyuan, are also a true inheritor. Why didn’t you take up the challenge?”

Yin Yang Saber Zhou Tianyuan answered with a casual smile, “The kid is a Vengeance Candidate, the apple of those Formless Divine Sect elders’ eyes. With the assassination attempt by Yiin Feihong, I’d rather not touch that hot potato.”

But his hand then rested on his saber, his eyes gleaming fiercely, “However, once we’re inside the Time Secret Realm, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson and show him that Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City will not be humiliated so lightly.”

Killing Jian Qin Ren knew that Divine Desolation had already lost a Zhu Kongming to Chu Xisheng.

Although Zhu Kongming was a traitor, his loss still reflected poorly on Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City.

Killing Jian Qin Ren gave a firm nod, “The kid is too arrogant! We can’t let him think the Northern region lacks heroes.”

If they met in the Time Secret Realm, he would show no mercy.

Yin Yang Saber Zhou Tianyuan had anticipated this response, and his lips curved slightly, “Brother Qin’s Bloodline Talent has reached the level of Heavenly Pride. It would be unlucky for the boy if he were to meet you.”
