Chapter 250 - Counter-Provocation
At this time, Gongyi Tianheng stood upon the platform with his hands clasped behind his back. His expression was composed: “Honorable sirs of Chongyun Sect, is there anyone else who can come up and advise me?”
On the contrary, he was still very courteous. Merely, it appeared that this kind of courtesy had fallen onto deaf ears for Chongyun Sect.
Gu Zuo rubbed his face, and temporarily pushed down his burgeoning puzzlement.
The other side’s fear probably had something to do with that guy’s ident.i.ty… His big brother’s actions were bound to create difficulties. However, it didn’t matter. Since they were members of Qingyun Sect, they were in an unwavering natural alliance with Qingyun Sect. As this was sure to have offended Chongyun Sect, there also wasn’t any need to overthink it. If the problem was very big, wouldn’t their own Sect, which had just benefited from their actions, come to their aid?
He felt that his big brother should’ve also thought as such.
Tianheng stood still for a while before unhurriedly asking: “Could it be that my honorable brothers from Chongyun Sect are looking down upon this lowly one? Are none of you willing to come and bestow upon me your teachings?”
The Qingyun Sect disciples only felt proud and elated.
Although the previous few matches were victories, that was under the situation where the realms of both sides were equal. However, this time around was different. This time, Qingyun Sect’s Xiantian stage six had gotten rid of the opposing side’s Xiantian stage seven. There was a firm distinction in levels!
Therefore, the Qingyun Sect disciples all became excited:
“Brothers of Chongyun Sect, please send another person to take part for the sake of the friendship of our two Sects!”
“Are Chongyun Sect’s brothers looking down on us?”
“If that won’t work, then our Qingyun Sect will also put in a good word. It’ll only take everyone to admit defeat.”
“If everyone doesn’t have enough confidence, then sending another Xiantian stage seven is okay, too!”
Xi Yangyun and the others were sitting in the back. They listened to comments such as these, and they all wore traces of smiling expressions.
Hua Xueyin unhurriedly said: “Sure enough, Junior Sect Brother Gongyi is extraordinary.” She couldn’t help quietly saying, “Looking at those two arrows just now, I feel that I also wouldn’t have been able to take them on. What about my fellow Senior Sect Brothers and Sisters?”
Hua Yuerong said in a cold voice: “I wouldn’t be able to do it, either.”
Quite a few people all said the same. Even that Xie Yufei shook his head: “That Chongyun Sect disciple is out of the ordinary. If it was me, I wouldn’t have been able to terminate those two arrows.”
The Earth Leaderboard’s second place said he couldn’t do it. Then, what about the Earth Leaderboard’s number one?
Suddenly, everyone uniformly looked towards the Society Leader of the Wild Martial Arts Society, Qiu Zhan.
Qiu Zhan muttered irresolutely, and similarly shook his head: “I’ve pondered over many kinds of methods. All of them wouldn’t work. The might of those two arrows is really too frightening.”
When everyone heard this, they sighed.
This Junior Sect Brother Gongyi truly exceeded everyone’s expectations. It hadn’t been a year since this person entered the Sect. His realms had been soaring up until now, and his strength had deepened immeasurably.
Xi Yangyun smiled and said: “Now, I only hope that Junior Sect Brother Gongyi doesn’t need to consume too much energy, and that he can persist for a period of time. If his strikes are this mighty, then no matter how much that Chongyun Sect wants to suppress our Qingyun Sect, they won’t be able to succeed.”
The masters of numerous forces all considered this deeply: “The consumption of those arrows is certainly great. We hope that Junior Sect Brother Gongyi can hold on for a while longer!”
All the Qingyun Sect disciples hoped that Tianheng could cripple a few more of those Chongyun Sect disciples, allowing these loathsome guests to receive discipline and to restrain their att.i.tudes.
This magnificent Sect had been considered a lowly sect and tormented by others. That bellyful of grievances had long wanted to be let out!
Meanwhile, on Chongyun Sect’s side, it could’ve also been considered as a rise and fall in fortunes.
Previously, there were various kinds of conflicts. Regardless of whether it was on the Martial Prowess Platform or in private, Qingyun Sect’s losses far surpa.s.sed that of Chongyun Sect. Even if Qingyun Sect could retrieve a bit of face for a time, it would still be handed back to Chongyun Sect to be trampled upon in the end. Normally, whenever Qingyun Sect disciples wanted to retreat, they would be taunted and ridiculed without restraint. The ones who goaded the other side were also all Chongyun Sect disciples.
But this time around was different.
After Tianheng defeated a higher-ranked opponent, Chongyun Sect’s side was momentarily speechless. Soon after, their melancholy was dispelled with great difficulty by Qingyun Sect’s unbridled heckling.
In short, if they were to leave right now, then they would be the timid cowards with lowly capabilities. Their faces would be firmly trampled upon.
The Chongyun Sect disciples were unable to restrain themselves when being taunted. Even though Chongyun Sect’s cherished goal was approaching, they also weren’t people who could bear with this! If it wasn’t for their own dispositions having a strong side, allowing them to actively make provocations, it would’ve been impossible for those sorts of people to even think about slapping their faces.
This time, even though quite a few Chongyun Sect disciples had the support of their Senior Sect Brothers and Sisters, they all couldn’t help but want to jump onto the platform.
As before, Tianheng stood quietly and waited on the platform.
He saw that Chongyun Sect’s side was rather chaotic. He had a smile on his face as he opened his mouth once more: “If there isn’t enough people here, I can also just wait on the side. When someone comes, I’ll ask them to advise me again.”
If it was said that they were only somewhat furious from being taunted and heckled, then now they were practically foaming at the mouth.
Wasn’t this guy too insolent? He still dared to say that he would wait?
At once, a Chongyun Sect disciple opened his mouth in disdain: “I hope you don’t regret this later!”
After he finished speaking, several Chongyun Sect disciples flew out. It seemed that they really were going to call for reinforcements.
In Gu Zuo’s heart, he silently gave his brother a big thumb’s up.
This big brother of his was so awesome!
On the contrary, when Qingyun Sect’s disciples saw how confident and unafraid Tianheng was, after being emotionally moved, they were inevitably somewhat worried. One should know that no matter how robust Tianheng’s foundations were, he was only a Xiantian stage six martial artist in the end. If his opponent was a superb talent at Xiantian stage seven, the differences in realms would be very obvious.
— Wasn’t this a serious problem?
The face of their Qingyun Sect had now fallen onto the shoulders of one man: Gongyi Tianheng!
The masters of the forces on Xi Yangyun’s side didn’t have a lot of confidence.
Xie Yufei furrowed his brows and said: “Although Junior Sect Brother Gongyi is powerful, if the other side conducts an alternating battle…”
The a.s.sociation Head of the Autumn Waters a.s.sociation, Xin Lang, was also deeply concerned: “If there’s a personage who’s an even stronger genius, I’m afraid he’ll need to use a last-resort trump card, provided that there’s one to use… Junior Sect Brother Gongyi must raise his vigilance.”
There were also several women who were worried: “Junior Sect Brother Gongyi will be taking up challenges later. Ah, I fear that it’ll be dangerous.”
After each of them expressed their own opinions, Xi Yangyun looked at Gu Zuo: “Junior Sect Brother Gu, you’re with Junior Sect Brother Gongyi morning, noon, and night. What do you think about all this?”
When the words “morning, noon, and night” came out, even though the masters of those forces were worried, they all couldn’t help making some subtle expressions. Wasn’t this kind of wording somewhat excessive?
However, Xi Yangyun didn’t think about it that much. He only waited for Gu Zuo’s reply.
Gu Zuo thought about it, and spoke honestly: “Although I also don’t know how formidable the young master’s current strength is, I do know that the young master would never do something that he isn’t sure of. If there really is a time of danger, the young master will certainly be able to leave at once. He definitely won’t be troubled by Chongyun Sect.”
These words were truly filled with confidence.
Xi Yangyun slightly nodded his head: “Since Junior Sect Brother Gu says it like this, then I’ll a.s.sume that it really is the case.”
The other few organization masters could only nod along: “Then, we will rest a.s.sured.”
Just at this time, the couple of Chongyun Sect members who’d left had now rushed back. Sure enough, a group of people followed behind them with robes that flapped in the wind.
Those people seemed to all be young and full of vigor. Their forms exuded a gallant might. Compared to the Chongyun Sect disciples who were defending their positions and fighting the entire time here, the energies of this new batch were a cut above the rest.
The Chongyun Sect disciples who had even greater potential had come!
Immediately following this, a Xiantian stage six martial artist, who appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, leaped out and landed upon the platform.
