Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275: Unrivaled in the Same Realm
"You..." Cang Xue’s face turned deathly pale, Long Xuan’s words didn’t seem like mockery, it was clear that he genuinely didn’t know who she was, and this only infuriated Cang Xue even more.
Her strength was indeed the weakest among the Twelve Holy Emissaries, but she was still one of the Twelve Saint Envoys of the Demon Slayer Department; who in the Capital City didn’t recognize her?
"A mere jumping clown, unimportant."
Ye Qingci’s interjection made Cang Xue’s rage reach its peak, and unable to contain herself any longer, she produced a glittering golden token and said, "You may not take me seriously, but surely you recognize this token!"
The exquisitely edged golden token flowed with Spiritual Energy, and engraved in seal script at its center was a large ’Chen’ character.
"Imperial Concubine Chen’s decree states that the matter of Su Chengyu killing Long Li inherently bears no right or wrong, and if the Long family wishes to seek an explanation, then let the matter rest."
This statement, which seemed to be speaking up for Su Chengyu, caused both Ye Qingci and Su Chengyu to frown, sensing an ill omen.
Sure enough, Cang Xue continued, "However, Her Highness Consort Chen also said, if the Long family holds onto family sentiments and desires a fight to the death, she has no reason to intervene."
"Isn’t Her Highness Consort Chen being a bit too domineering?"
An old steward from the Long family frowned and spoke out. He was well aware of how much effort the family had invested to have Young Master Long Xuan take action.
But the precondition for Long Xuan’s involvement was that he wouldn’t kill Su Chengyu; this the old steward knew for certain.
Hearing this, Cang Xue countered, like a hooligan, "Then go and reason with Her Highness yourself, I’m just the messenger."
The old steward’s face twisted in awkwardness; he knew he could ask for such a reason, but certainly not now. On the other side, with the bowstring already drawn, the old steward was well aware that if the Long family retreated now, they would have no reason to trouble Su Chengyu any further.
Moreover, whether Su Chengyu joined the Demon Slayer Department or left the Capital City, it would not be easy for the Long family to move against him in secret afterward.
But as for the young master...
The old steward turned his gaze towards Long Xuan, his brow furrowed tightly.
"It seems that your Long family is in a bit of a difficult position."
Su Chengyu glanced at Long Xuan with a smirk and said.
Long Xuan glanced at Su Chengyu, feeling real annoyance for the first time, "If it weren’t for Ye Qingci, I really would like to kill you."
Su Chengyu chuckled, too lazy to deal with Long Xuan. After scanning the room, he took a deep breath and said, "Since that’s the case, would you dare to change the rules?"
"Hm?" Long Xuan looked at Su Chengyu, puzzled.
Su Chengyu drew out the Dragon Slayer Sword, pointing it at Long Xuan, "This questioning of the Dao shall not only determine victory or defeat but life and death as well."
With that declaration, everyone from the Demon Slayer Department’s expressions changed.
Cang Xue’s words surprised them, as they could see that Consort Chen wanted to escalate the conflict between Su Chengyu and the Long family to an irreconcilable extent.
However, what they didn’t expect was that upon seeing this, Su Chengyu would take the initiative to confront it head-on.
Had this guy gone mad?
Even with Long Xuan suppressing the realm, he was not someone ordinary people could compare with.
Questioning the Dao does suppress the realm, but it only suppresses that aspect; Long Xuan’s understanding of the many Techniques he possesses is still at the Hollowed Void Level, and like Su Chengyu, Long Xuan possesses the top-tier Techniques such as the True Dragon Technique and Phoenix Divine Art. With what would Su Chengyu win, and how would he survive?
"Su Chengyu, don’t act rashly out of impulse!"
The one who spoke was Ye Qingci, who despite everything could not stand by any longer and directly interjected.
Su Chengyu remained very calm as his gaze fell on Dragon Xuan. He said, "Cold Moon Envoy just taught me that everyone has a unique face among a thousand people, and each cultivates for their own reasons, desiring different things. Nonetheless, there is one commonality: everyone is bound by various worldly attachments, and this applies even to those who have become Earth Immortals."
"What are you trying to say?" Dragon Xuan asked calmly, looking at Su Chengyu.
"For what I seek, I agreed to this duel of life and death. You have also stepped onto this Martial Arts Field for the sake of your own family. Everyone has their reasons for having to stand until the end. Since that is the case, why not be just outright about it? At least in this way, life and death, victory and defeat, can still be controlled by our own hands."
Su Chengyu’s words silenced Dragon Xuan.
The crowd below also noticed something unusual. Yang Junmo frowned, puzzled, and said, "Has Su Chengyu lost his mind? Does he even know who he is speaking to? Even Ye Qingci, who has now become an Earth Immortal, wouldn’t dare to lecture Dragon Xuan, right?"
"Shut up. Su Chengyu isn’t one to act recklessly. Trust him."
"I..."
Yang Junmo felt like he was swallowing a bitter Yellow Lotus, suspecting that his own lines had been stolen. However, seeing Zhuang Yihan’s anxious expression, he knew that Zhuang Yihan was genuinely worried about Su Chengyu and so he said no more.
His gaze swept across Yang Qianyan. He knew that even if his father was not inside the Demon Slayer Department, he must be watching everything here with his own eyes.
And that up to now, Yang Qianyan had not made any move, indicating that Yang Chengyin had tacitly approved of everything happening here.
"Alright."
Finally, Dragon Xuan on the Martial Arts Field spoke, and his single word sent everyone’s hearts into their throats.
The Sancai Sword floated behind Dragon Xuan as he focused his gaze on Su Chengyu and said, "Then let’s settle both victory and defeat, and life and death."
The resounding words echoed in everyone’s hearts. Even Ye Qingci had to involuntarily close her eyes after hearing Dragon Xuan’s words.
She had crossed swords with Dragon Xuan, lost to him, and also won.
She knew all too well the strength and realm that Dragon Xuan possessed, even when pressed to the limit.
Even in Su Chengyu, Ye Qingci could not see the slightest possibility of victory.
In Ye Qingci’s view, such an outcome was worse than if Su Chengyu had taken the initiative to bow his head and apologize to the Long family. With her own support and the assistance of Feng Jie Yu behind her, perhaps there would still be a glimmer of hope for survival.
Su Chengyu’s impulsive action was clearly pushing himself towards a dead-end.
"I’ve said before, I don’t have high hopes for Su Chengyu."
Once again, Huang Quan from the group of Saint Envoys repeated his earlier judgment.
Qian Jun turned to Huang Quan with a frown, asking, "Did you already know about this?"
Huang Quan hesitated, glancing at Cang Xue, "I’ve also seen that Token, but in the end, I did not agree to it."
Among the Twelve Holy Emissaries, Huang Quan was essentially neutral. He was not against the Demon Slayer Department bringing in fresh blood, and he had recognized Su Chengyu’s strength long ago. However, knowing some of the inside information, he simply could not find any reason for Su Chengyu to survive this duel of life and death.
With so many people paying attention to everything happening here, and so many wishing for this wild practitioner from Jiangdong to die on the Demon Slayer Department’s Martial Arts Field, Huang Quan did not think Su Chengyu could live to leave the field.
The only thing Huang Quan had not anticipated was that this dead-end path would be one that Su Chengyu actively chose to walk.
Looking at Su Chengyu, a trace of regret shone in Huang Quan’s eyes.
He had to admit, a Su Chengyu like this deserved Huang Quan’s respect. Given time, he even believed that Su Chengyu could grow to be an individual just like Dragon Xuan Ye Qingci, a pillar of the younger generation of Xia Country.
Unfortunately, it all came to an end here.
Dragon Xuan had never been defeated in his life, and even his loss to Ye Qingci occurred after she advanced to Earth Immortal — the difference in realm was what led to his defeat.
In the same realm, he was invincible!
