Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Challenge

Heavenly Thunder Pass? Zhang Yushu?

The man suddenly appeared, just about to propose a battle with Jiang Feng. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone frowned.

Everyone naturally knew that Heavenly Thunder Pass was destroyed, but wasn’t it done by Ouyang Xu, the Qingyi Sword God? What does this have to do with Jiang Feng?

Only Lin Shu, who was beside Ouyang Xu and witnessed the scene, couldn’t help but let out a slight sigh.

Because she knew, back then, it wasn’t just Ouyang Xu who went to Heavenly Thunder Pass—Jiang Feng went as well.

At that time, Ouyang Xu merely defeated the elder of Heavenly Thunder Pass. Afterward, Jiang Feng decisively slaughtered everyone at Heavenly Thunder Pass. He even mocked Ouyang Xu for being too afraid to kill.

This is why Ouyang Xu killed Zong Xuanling to vent his rage toward Jiang Feng.

Of course, no one else knew the inside story, and soon their focus shifted to the reason behind Zhang Yushu’s bold challenge to Jiang Feng.

It must be noted that Jiang Feng had only been in China for a mere month. How many factions had he already destroyed? He was also known as the ferocious Sword Madman.

Evidently, purely in terms of strength, Jiang Feng was undoubtedly a master who controlled his own destiny, while Zhang Yushu’s name remained unknown. How could he dare challenge Jiang Feng?

Yet later, an elderly man of considerable reputation furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "Is it him? I hadn’t expected him to come."

"Oh? Old Zhang, do you know of this Yushu?" People immediately raised a curious question.

The elder heard this, then nodded firmly and said, "How could I not know? He was Heavenly Thunder Pass’s most exceptional disciple. But years ago, due to a long journey, he was expelled by his master from the sect. Back then, people lamented that if he hadn’t been kicked out, with his talent, he might have elevated Heavenly Thunder Pass to the level of the Shen Family—joining the ranks of first-class troops!"

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped audibly.

The Shen Family—what was that?

An elite clan, the first family of China!

At present, Zhang Yushu’s reputation was held in such high regard. Wasn’t this suggesting that Zhang Yushu could rival Chenn Bangguo or even Chenn Yuanba?

At this moment, as if to confirm public speculation, Zhang Yushu suddenly let out a cold snort in midair, followed by a terrifying aura emanating from his body, instantly suppressing the surroundings.

Among the Earth Cultivators watching the battle, only Chenn Yuanba or a few others with True God-level power furrowed their brows as they stood by uneasily.

For those boasting divine skills and even those below that level, under Zhang Yushu’s aura, they immediately felt an unbearable weight pressing on their shoulders, forcing them to bend slightly.

Even worse, those relying solely on natural brute strength directly succumbed to the oppressive atmosphere, their legs going limp, and they fell into a half-kneeling position.

"This... This is a true miracle! No... I didn’t expect this Yushu to be a genuine God-level warrior!"

A cry of shock suddenly echoed in the hearts of many.

One had to understand that Heavenly Thunder Pass wasn’t just a minor player on Earth—it was merely a second-rate force within China’s spiritual realm.

No one could have anticipated that a disciple of Heavenly Thunder Pass, Zhang Yushu, could ascend to the True God realm.

Thinking of this, many became curious about Jiang Feng, wondering how he, as an Immortal, would react to encountering such a genuine miracle amid Earth Cultivators’ participation.

Chenn Yuanba was the only one among them all who, upon seeing Zhang Yushu reveal his ability like this, suddenly seemed as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.

Because of everyone present, he was the sole person to have fought Jiang Feng previously.

Only he knew that though Jiang Feng had yet to transcend the God realm, his prowess wasn’t weaker than Chenn Yuanba, the scattered Immortal—or, perhaps, even stronger.

Furthermore, when Chenn Yuanba tore through space in his past encounter hoping to intimidate Jiang Feng, he was immediately attacked and narrowly survived. Looking back, Jiang Feng seemed utterly unscathed.

Thus, at this moment, Zhang Yushu might possess genuine God-level strength and make his bold challenge against Jiang Feng, even though the odds were bleak!

As expected, as Chenn Yuanba considered this, he looked on and saw Jiang Feng appear eerily unscathed from the destruction—but then Jiang Feng regarded Zhang Yushu contemptuously, sneering coldly, and mocked, "Challenge me to a fight to the death? Are you the only ant bold enough to do so? Let me tell you, under my Flame Saber, even luck that you attribute to the wasteful True Flame Lord can’t save you!"

"Damn you!"

Upon hearing Jiang Feng insult his master so brazenly, Zhang Yushu instantly burst with rage, veins swelling visibly on his forehead, and he roared at Jiang Feng, "You’ve gone too far! Since you won’t accept my duel, I’ll fight directly on behalf of my master and take revenge for him!"

As he said this, Zhang Yushu raised his hands, and immediately the atmosphere turned pitch black.

At this moment, the elderly man who recognized Zhang Yushu cried out loud, "This..."

"This... This..."

Watching Jiang Feng wield his sword brutally, slaughtering dozens in mere moments, many were immediately bathed in blood!

These weren’t just fellow Cultivators—many were friends and relatives of onlookers.

What’s more horrific was that everyone could see Jiang Feng could have stopped after killing Zhang Yushu.

But Jiang Feng chose not to hold back. Instead, he amplified the blade’s destructive force, causing such staggering casualties.

This was the life of Earth Cultivators—they were treated as mere ants, slaughtered at whim.

Was this the Immortal they revered in their hearts?

Was this what they called "Heaven and Earth treat all beings like straw dogs"?

As the most powerful observer on Earth, Chenn Yuanba could no longer suppress his rage, his eyes blazing as he yelled, "You... How dare you do such a thing?"

"How dare I?"

Jiang Feng laughed aloud at Chenn Yuanba and said mockingly, "Who are you talking to, old man? Do you think you can teach me a lesson? Last time, when you tore space apart so sloppily, I found it amusing—you thought your devouring resistance was impressive, didn’t you? Can you still manage that now?"

"You..."

Chenn Yuanba’s blood-filled eyes stared furiously at Jiang Feng’s contemptuous gaze.

Before he could say another word, Jiang Feng swung his fiery blade toward Chenn Yuanba again, striking him directly. Blood splattered from Chenn Yuanba’s mouth as he flew backward.

At that moment, the fiery blaze Jiang Feng unleashed continued to surge forward hundreds of meters, dragging countless Cultivators into the inferno, reducing them to ash!

Witnessing this terrifying scene, those who possessed power above divine rank trembled with fury but dared not step forward.

After all, even Zhang Yushu, a True God, was slain by Jiang Feng. The Three Sages, including Chenn Yuanba, were humiliated and defeated by Jiang Feng. Moving forward now was no different than seeking death.

For those Cultivators who were less powerful, their eyes were filled with sheer dread.

An unknown voice suddenly shrieked in terror, causing someone to flee.

In that instant, those Cultivators harboring different motives, even those daring to dream of touching the Immortal Realm, fled like panicked birds scattering down the mountain.

"Hahaha! That’s right—ants are ants. In front of us, you can do nothing but flee like frightened wolves!"

Watching the escaping Cultivators, Jiang Feng sneered coldly, then turned his gaze to Ouyang Xu beside him, teasing, "Ouyang Xu, would you like to try this with me?"

"Try what? What do you want to test?" Ouyang Xu coldly retorted.

"The art of killing ants, naturally!"

Jiang Feng laughed as he said, "You and I, each a curator—let’s see who kills more ants and wins. How about that?"

At these words, Lin Shu, who stood by Ouyang Xu’s side, immediately tugged at Ouyang Xu lightly while letting out a sigh of disapproval. Yet, Ouyang Xu remained ignorant of her concern and merely let out a cold snort, "Fine."

Saying this, Ouyang Xu immediately unsheathed his sword, which transformed into a long Azure Dragon, slicing several fleeing Earth Cultivators into shattered pieces.

"Ha-ha-ha! Interesting, interesting!"
