The Sword God of the Universe
Chapter 285 - 285 285 Life and Death Battle

Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Life and Death Battle Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Life and Death Battle “Young and reckless, not following the righteous path, and foolishly trying to obtain the Golden Order by despicable means, alas…”

“Indeed, one must follow the righteous path!”

“Your name is Jing Yan, right?

You’re still young; there are many opportunities ahead, so don’t succumb to evil!

To be a person, one must act uprightly and sit straight!”

A chorus of reprimands hurled towards Jing Yan.

Not following the righteous path?

Succumbing to evil?

Hearing these voices, Jing Yan laughed, his smile was very cold!

“Jing Yan, aren’t you going to reveal your cheating methods?

Waiting to be found out won’t be good for you!” Cang Long shouted loudly.

Just now, he had been rendered speechless by Jing Yan, losing face completely, harboring a towering anger in his heart, wishing he could vent it all.

Seeing so many people pointing their fingers at Jing Yan, he immediately jumped out again, pointing his finger and furiously scolding Jing Yan.

“Cheating?”

“Haha…” Jing Yan let out a cold laugh.

“Ridiculous people!” Jing Yan laughed loudly, “Shang Qu, the Outer Court Director of Divine Wind Academy, wanted me to join Divine Wind Academy, and I refused.

Shang Qu became enraged and imposed a Sealing Order on me, yet none of you spoke a word of justice.”

Upon hearing this, Shang Qu’s face turned livid, glaring fiercely at Jing Yan!

“I conquered the Sky Crossing Array, faced numerous trials, and obtained the Golden Order, yet you claim I cheated!”

“In your eyes, perhaps a young Martial Artist like me from a small city with no background or connections is easy to bully, right?”

“Your own family members, lacking the ability to obtain the Golden Order, naturally assume that others couldn’t possibly obtain it either, right?

If someone else obtains the Golden Order, they must be cheating, they must be deluding themselves, they must be using despicable means, right?”

“Today, at this moment, I, Jing Yan, seem impossible to defend myself, right?

You have no rationale, yet you are determined I cheated, it’s truly nauseating!

Families of Lanqu County City, haha…”

“And you, Cang Long, as a Deacon of Divine Wind Academy’s Outer Court, you continue to smear and slander me over and over.

Do you feel that unless you completely eradicate me, you can’t swallow your anger?”

“Very well, well done!” Jing Yan looked at Cang Long.

“Cang Long, do you dare to fight me?”

“You keep saying I’m only at the Early Innate Realm and couldn’t possibly pass through the Sky Crossing Array.

So here, I challenge you.

In front of all these people, let’s have a duel to the death, how about it?” Jing Yan stared at Cang Long, his voice low as he spoke these words!

He challenged Cang Long.

“Hmm?”

“What?”

“Jing Yan is challenging Cang Long, the Outer Court Deacon of Divine Wind Academy?”

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, everyone’s pupils shrank, staring intently at Jing Yan.

As for Cang Long himself, his expression changed several times.

He truly hadn’t expected that Jing Yan would publicly challenge him to a duel to the death, which meant taking responsibility for one’s own life or death in a challenge!

But…

How dare Jing Yan?

Where does his confidence come from?

Is it just a bluff?

Cang Long, watching Jing Yan, had seen him in action in Donglin City and was very clear about Jing Yan’s abilities.

This is why he didn’t believe Jing Yan could legitimately obtain the Golden Order through the Sky Crossing Array.

In his heart, Cang Long was almost certain that Jing Yan must have used some kind of means to pass through the Sky Crossing Array.

In his view, Jing Yan definitely did not have enough strength to obtain the Golden Order.

Yet, Jing Yan dared to challenge him, a Martial Artist at the Innate Peak Realm.

What exactly was Jing Yan thinking?

“Cang Long, didn’t you say that I am just at the Early Innate Realm in Cultivation?

How is it that now I challenge you, you still hesitate?

Between us, let’s have a duel to the death, taking responsibility for our own lives and deaths!

How about it?” Jing Yan, with a scornful gaze, looked at Cang Long.

“You…” Cang Long, catching Jing Yan’s gaze, felt even more furious, that kind of disdain deeply stabbing him.

A lad barely twenty years old daring to look down on him!

“Youngster, don’t you dare back out!” Cang Long shouted angrily.

“Come on!” said Jing Yan with a smile.

In an instant, he leaped down from the platform, landing on the square below.

“Cang Long, come!

I’m right here, waiting for you!” Jing Yan looked up towards the platform.

Mu Liantian watched Jing Yan, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Jing Yan challenging Cang Long didn’t worry him; he knew Jing Yan’s strength was definitely not below Cang Long’s.

“Dean, you saw that, Jing Yan is challenging me.

As a Deacon of the Outer Court of Divine Wind Academy, if I do not accept the challenge, it would bring shame to our Divine Wind Academy.

Therefore, please, Dean, allow me to fight Jing Yan.

I, Cang Long, can be insulted, but Divine Wind Academy cannot!” Cang Long, facing Shang Qu, said loudly.

“Chief Mu, you see…” Shang Qu didn’t directly let Cang Long go down and fight Jing Yan, but instead looked to Mu Liantian, the Chief Manager here in Prince Manor.

Of course, Shang Qu was happy for Cang Long to fight Jing Yan, preferably to directly kill Jing Yan, but without Mu Liantian’s nod, he dared not decide to let Cang Long take action.

“I think it’s fine!

Both parties are willing to fight, so there’s no problem.” Mu Liantian smiled slightly.

Of course, he wouldn’t stop this duel.

If he hadn’t known Jing Yan’s strength, perhaps he might have feared Jing Yan was in danger and stopped it, but he was fully confident in Jing Yan’s strength.

Shang Qu and others didn’t believe Jing Yan had the strength to obtain the Golden Order, but Mu Liantian believed that Jing Yan must have passed the Sky Crossing Array on his own merit.

Based on his understanding of Jing Yan, Jing Yan wasn’t the type to rely on cheating methods.

Moreover, cheating in the Sky Crossing Array would not be an easy task.

If it were simple, then the Golden Order wouldn’t have not been obtained for over thirty years.

Seeing Mu Liantian nodding, Shang Qu felt relieved.

He turned to Cang Long, “Deacon Cang Long, go ahead!

Since Jing Yan has actively challenged, then our Divine Wind Academy has no reason to refuse.

Our Divine Wind Academy does not bully others, but if anyone thinks our Divine Wind Academy is weak, that would be a huge mistake!

Remember, you represent Divine Wind Academy, so don’t let our academy be shamed!”

The implication was that Cang Long should go all out, there was no need to show mercy to Jing Yan.

Since it was a duel to the death, even if he killed Jing Yan in the fight, no one could complain.

If Cang Long killed Jing Yan, it was what Jing Yan had brought onto himself.

With insufficient strength and rashly initiating a duel to the death, what else but seeking death could it be?

“Yes!” Cang Long’s gaze flashed, understanding Shang Qu’s intention.

“Whoosh!”

After responding, Cang Long too leaped from the platform, landing on the square, right in front of Jing Yan.

The two stood facing each other from afar!

The duel between the two naturally attracted the attention of everyone present, and countless eyes fell on both Cang Long and Jing Yan.
