Chapter 488: Chapter 487: Are You Sure You Won’t Go Back on Your Word Again?
Yang Fei’s words echoed in the sky, lingering for a long time, like a slap across the faces of the young people from Hidden Sect, burning and humiliating.
The young Cultivators from Hidden Sect were both angry and enraged, yet no one dared to meet Yang Fei’s gaze, let alone speak up easily.
Even though some were eager to try, considering Qin Yanyang’s combat strength not long ago, and recalling Yang Fei’s glorious deed of causing an uproar in the Duanmu Family yet emerging unscathed, they all calmed down, not daring to act rashly.
This couple truly has some real skills.
Even if it were not for her own reasons, Immortal Yan would have a hard time defeating Qin Yanyang.
Now only one contest remains, and if Yang Fei cannot be suppressed, Hidden Sect will lose all face. No young hero present dares to bear such a great responsibility.
Because no one stepped forward to fight, Yang Fei’s momentum soared, putting pressure on Hidden Sect’s side.
People from Hidden Sect were furious and resentful, yet they were unable to find a young man confident enough to suppress Yang Fei promptly, so they had no choice but to let Yang Fei be arrogant.
After a moment, it was Wang Chunyang who spoke first, looking at Yang Fei and saying, "There are still two days left until the three-day agreement, plenty of time. You can rest assured here and recuperate. When the true young prodigy of Hidden Sect arrives, then we’ll have our contest."
Hearing this, Yang Fei laughed heartily, "Hahaha, so-called prodigies of Hidden Sect, in my eyes, Yang Fei, you are all nothing but shrinking turtles, afraid to battle with me. There are not one thousand but several hundred young Cultivators of Hidden Sect present. Don’t you think yourselves superior, high and mighty? How come now, when this worldly lad here challenges you, not one of you dares to fight? All of you are trash!"
"Bastard, you’re the one who’s arrogant now!"
"Boy, don’t be too insolent!"
"You dare to treat us as nothing, it’s utterly outrageous! Damn it, I can’t take it anymore. I’m willing to fight you!" A brawny man carrying a broadsword strode forward, his face red with anger, about to have a one-on-one showdown with Yang Fei.
Yang Fei was overjoyed at hearing this, "Good, you’re the one! Come on!"
However, before he had finished speaking, he saw several youths rush up and pin the brawny man down, pulling him back.
Yang Fei was speechless.
What the hell, is this how you play?
I finally provoked one to come out, and you’re holding him back?
Seeing that man being dragged back, Yang Fei’s gaze swept towards those Divine Travel Realm powerhouses, shouting loudly, "You all are esteemed seniors, but you handle matters so indecisively, truly disappointing. By rights, my wife has just won, yet you refuse to accept it, demanding another battle. Here I stand, yet you delay in sending someone to fight. Isn’t this just stalling? Your actions are too indecisive, I hold you in contempt!"
The several Divine Travel Realm powerhouses felt humiliated, fuming internally, wishing they could personally teach this youngster a lesson.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, and the people from Hidden Sect were left unable to refute, a voice filled with anger entered the arena, "Who says there’s no one in the younger generation of Hidden Sect? Such arrogance! Liu Dong is here today to meet you."
"That’s great, it’s Liu Dong from Giant Sword Manor!"
"It’s Liu Dong, this is perfect. Now let’s see how that kid can keep acting so rampant."
"Liu Dong, your timing couldn’t be better, quickly teach this kid a lesson so he won’t even recognize his own mother. He’s far too arrogant."
"Crush his arrogance and vent our frustrations."
The crowd from Hidden Sect was invigorated, with all the young faces filled with joy, looking in the direction from where the sound came.
In a moment, a figure arrived with swift movements from afar. This person was dressed in a green robe with a scarf wrapped around his head, his eyebrows sharp as swords, his lips red and teeth white, handsome and dashing.
He was none other than the outstanding youth of Giant Sword Manor, Liu Dong.
Liu Dong, carrying a broadsword on his back, first walked up to the manor owner of Giant Sword Manor, Wang Changchun, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings to the manor owner."
Wang Changchun’s eyes flickered several times, and he inwardly blamed Liu Dong for appearing at this time, but he still wore a smile on his face and helped Liu Dong up, saying with a laugh, "No need for formalities. Come and greet the elders."
Liu Dong responded, quickly paying respects to Helian Zhan, Ouyang He, Wang Chunyang, and the other Divine Travel Realm powerhouses in attendance.
The crowd made a gesture as if to help him up, signaling that he should dispense with the formalities.
Helian Zhan said with a smile, "You’ve come at just the right time, young man. That youngster from Divine Continent Country has been arrogant beyond measure. Yet, we, due to our status, find it inappropriate to act. It’s just right for you to teach him a lesson."
"Indeed, the kid is too arrogant. Even this old man can’t wait to go out there and give him a good beating," Ouyang He followed.
The rest were just as eager to have Liu Dong hurry and teach Yang Fei a lesson.
Liu Dong was secretly delighted, feeling that his timing was perfect.
Once he suppressed this youngster, not only would his reputation greatly increase, he would also gain favor in front of these big shots. Moreover, his peers present would surely be grateful to him.
It was a big win.
Liu Dong was extremely excited, but Wang Changchun was secretly worried. He feared that if Liu Dong immediately rushed to combat Yang Fei, and he coughed once, saying, "Gentlemen, fighting for the honor of the Hidden Sect, my Giant Sword Manor disciples are duty-bound. However, should we not wait a while and consider our options at greater length?"
The crowd was taken aback and looked at him with puzzled faces.
Some of the elders knew what Wang Changchun was thinking and cursed under their breath, "Old fox."
Wang Chunyang said with a smile, "Does Master Wang lack confidence in his own disciple?"
Wang Changchun cursed inwardly, but he said aloud, "Liu Dong is the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation of Giant Sword Manor, the pillar of our future. How could this manor owner lack confidence in him?"
"In that case, let him fight and teach that youngster a lesson," Wang Chunyang said.
Wang Changchun nodded and said, "I have no objection to Liu Dong participating in the fight, but there is something I must say beforehand. Everyone should be aware that Yang Fei is not unworthy of his reputation. Therefore, if there is any unforeseen outcome to this battle, Giant Sword Manor may not be able to bear the responsibility."
Seeing that Wang Changchun had made his concerns clear, the Divine Travel Realm powerhouses knew they could no longer feign ignorance. Helian Zhan said, "We understand your concerns, Master Wang, but you underestimate us too much. Victory and defeat are common in warfare. We are aware of Liu Dong’s strength and trust him. Since we’ve chosen him to fight, we will not disown him due to the outcome, nor will we allow Giant Sword Manor to bear the responsibility."
"That’s right, don’t put too much pressure on the young man. Let him fight with all he’s got and do his best," Ouyang He added.
Wang Chunyang was frowning and remained silent.
He would have preferred to bet on the Ji Family’s young fighter, but Ji Qingshan was not present. Everyone was irritated beyond measure by Yang Fei’s words and couldn’t wait. There really wasn’t another suitable candidate from the Hidden Sect besides Liu Dong at that moment.
Besides, to say such a thing would damage Liu Dong’s self-esteem and could displease Wang Changchun, so Wang Chunyang held his peace.
The other Divine Travel Realm powerhouses, as well as individuals from other Sects and aristocratic families, also began to express their support, stating that Liu Dong should go ahead and duel, as they believed he could win. Even if something went wrong, they would not blame him.
With this, Wang Changchun no longer had an excuse to demur and immediately said to Liu Dong, "Give it your all, and do not tarnish the reputation of Giant Sword Manor."
Initially, Liu Dong hadn’t thought much about it, but now he realized what this battle represented and couldn’t help but feel a bit of pressure.
However, as he looked up at Yang Fei, his spirits surged, and his confidence soared.
Nothing but an ant from the outside world, who had never faced a true formidable opponent and had been highly praised. Today, he had the misfortune of encountering Liu Dong—that was his bad luck.
He strode towards Yang Fei, removed his broadsword from his shoulder, and planted it in front of him, looking down at Yang Fei with disdain and saying, "Kid, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, make your move first."
Yang Fei nodded, and after stepping into the arena, he looked towards Wang Chunyang and the others, asking, "You’re sure there won’t be any more foul play, right?"
