Chapter 1725: 1725
"Audacious!"
"Yet another conceited fool who overestimates himself just because he has accomplished something!"
"Naive! Do you think that you are invincible just because you have tamed a couple of beasts?"
While Zhang Xuan was dueling Bei Yuan, quite a number of Otherworldly Demons had already headed out of the Pavilion of Irate Summer . Upon hearing the arrogant words spouting from Zhang Xuan's mouth, their faces turned livid with anger, and infuriated bellows escaped their lips .
There were around thirty Otherworldly Demons in sight at the moment, and over six of them possessed similar strength to Bei Yuan . Even though Zhang Xuan had tamed five Sempiternal realm consummation beasts, he still would not stand a chance against all of them combined .
"What's the use of arguing over there? If you have the guts to accept my challenge, take out your treasures and stake them as wagers," Zhang Xuan replied boredly . "Similarly, I'll also put the Celestial Amulet of Legacy on the line . Those who possess true strength speak through actions, not through words!"
The faces of the Otherworldly Demons turned livid in fury .
The young man was right . Nothing that they said would be meaningful; strength was something that had to be displayed!
"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it . I'll take a short nap for the time being . If you wish to take me up on my challenge, I don't mind playing with you all!" Zhang Xuan tossed those words to the Otherworldly Demon before returning to the Pavilion of Warm Spring while lazily stretching his back .
"Our clan head sure is formidable…"
"He's actually able to render so many Otherworldly Demons speechless at once . This is the kind of imposing air that a true powerhouse should have!"
The cultivators in the Pavilion of Spring Autumn nodded in respect .
It was true that neither side dared go too far due to the involvement of the Ancient Sages, but the Otherworldly Demons were clearly in a more advantageous position than the humans due to their superior strength . As a result, it had been the humans who were in a passive position so far .
They did not think that the head of the Zhang Clan would actually be able to turn the tables on the Otherworldly Demons as soon as he appeared!
"You're Zhang Xuan, aren't you? I am Bei Feng, and I'm willing to accept your challenge!"
Before Zhang Xuan could return to the Pavilion of Warm Spring, a towering Otherworldly Demon suddenly walked out from the crowd . He was one of the remaining six Sempiternal realm consummation cultivators .
Seeing that someone had taken the bait, Zhang Xuan asked with a smile, "What's your wager?"
"I only have a Great Sage artifact . I can give it to you if I lose the duel . In exchange, I won't ask for you to give me the Celestial Amulet of Legacy if I win . All I want is to claim three slots to enter the Hall of Great Accomplishment!" Bei Feng said .
"Three slots?" Zhang Xuan frowned in bewilderment .
"Based on the inscriptions that we have found in the area, it seems that our Celestial Amulet of Legacy allows us to bring ten people into the Hall of Great Accomplishment," Sword Saint Xing said .
"I see!" Zhang Xuan nodded contemplatively . "Sure, I have no problem with that . I'll accept your wager!"
Even if Bei Feng won the duel and obtained three slots to enter the Hall of Great Accomplishment, it would still be a highly disadvantageous situation for them . In a battle of seven against three, the Zhang Clan should be able to easily overpower and kill those three unfortunate Otherworldly Demons tagging along with them .
In any case, Ancient Sages were not able to enter the Temple of Confucius, and they did not have the power to interfere with the happenings inside .
"I know that those five beasts are your tamed beasts, but they aren't a clear indication of your individual prowess . The one I am challenging is you, not your beasts . As a master teacher, won't you cast aside your beasts and face me in a proper duel?" Bei Feng asked .
"In other words, you don't want to use my tamed beasts?" Zhang Xuan asked as an unreadable smile crept onto his lips .
"That's right! I admit that your five beasts are formidable, but do you dare pit your true ability against me and fight me with your own strength? Don't you think that it's dishonorable for a master teacher like you to be so reliant on your tamed beasts?" Bei Feng taunted .
"I can face you without my tamed beasts… but since it's a handicap on my side, I want you to wager another Great Sage artifact!" Zhang Xuan said .
"You want me to wager another Great Sage artifact?" Bei Feng frowned as he lowered his gaze in hesitation . After a moment of contemplation, he flicked his wrist, and a crimson spirit stone materialized on his palm . "I don't have any more Great Sage artifacts, but this Sacred Blood Crystal is fueled using the blood essence of Sempiternal realm consummation beasts . It harnesses the full energy of an expert of that caliber . It'll be a convenient source of spiritual energy for your cultivation . While it can't compete with a true Great Sage artifact, its value should almost be on par with one . Will you take this as a replacement?"
Zhang Xuan took a look at the crimson spirit stone, and he immediately sensed the concentrated spiritual energy that was emanating from the rock . It was so concentrated that it almost felt tangible .
If he cultivated using it, he would indeed be able to advance his cultivation swiftly . Without a doubt, it was something that would be useful to him .
"Very well, I'll accept your deal!" Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement .
