Chapter 547: Chapter 297: Go Straight to Their Door and Step on Their Faces!_2

Xu Yan rolled his eyes; the old members of the Mu family sure knew how to put on a show!

Mu Feiming was unaware of all this. During his exchange of blows with Xu Yan, he was surprised to find their fight evenly matched. Wasn’t Xu Yan supposed to be much stronger than the rumors suggested?

As for Xu Yan, during his fight with Mu Feiming, he was constantly absorbing Mu Feiming’s martial arts energy into his body. What surprised him was that Mu Feiming’s martial arts energy seemed balanced and peaceful.

It seemed related to the cultivation techniques of the Mu family, which lacked explosive power but offered a steady, continuous flow of energy, making it highly resilient to attacks.

The moment a quarter of an hour had passed, Xu Yan struck Mu Feiming with a powerful blow, sending him flying.

Mu Feiming was a bit dazed. How did Xu Yan suddenly display such ferocity? He couldn’t withstand it at all!

“I yield!”

Xu Yan courteously said.

“Thank you, Brother Xu, for showing mercy!”

Mu Feiming responded politely.

The elders of the Mu family were very satisfied with Mu Feiming’s performance.

“Friend Xu, here is your spiritual medicine!”

In a grove, an old member of the Mu family presented a bag of items.

Xu Yan opened it to check, there were over a hundred divine-grade spiritual medicines. He nodded in satisfaction.

This trade was worth it!

“May I ask, Friend Xu, where do you plan to challenge the heaven’s chosen ones next?”

The old man from the Mu family hesitated before asking.

Xu Yan’s eyebrows shot up, but he didn’t hide it, “I’m heading to the Thousand Martial Province, to challenge the heaven’s chosen ones of the Thousand Martial Hall.”

Upon hearing this, the old man from the Mu family took out a small booklet from his bag and handed it to Xu Yan, “Friend Xu, this booklet contains rough information about the Thousand Martial Province, as well as a list of the strong combatants and known heaven’s chosen ones of the Thousand Martial Hall.”

Xu Yan took the booklet and looked puzzledly at the Elder of the Mu family. The elder was providing him with information about the Thousand Martial Province and the Thousand Martial Hall, it appeared as though they held a grudge against the Thousand Martial Hall.

“The Thousand Martial Hall is the most shameless, Friend Xu, beware. Although there are rules in the heaven’s chosen fights, those people from Thousand Martial Hall, if defeated, will surely resort to unscrupulous tactics.”

The elder of the Mu family warned.

“Does your Mu family have a grudge against the Thousand Martial Hall?”

Xu Yan asked in surprise.

“Not exactly a grudge. If we really had a grudge, the Thousand Martial Hall would have already destroyed the Mu family. It’s just that the Thousand Martial Hall once demanded some things from our family, and we paid a heavy price to keep them.”

“So, I would be very pleased to see the Thousand Martial Hall suffer.”

The elder of the Mu family gave a nonchalant wave of his hand.

He then put on a solemn face and earnestly said: “Friend Xu, you mustn’t mention that the Mu family provided you with this information!”

Xu Yan put away the booklet, “Don’t worry, I won’t mention the Mu family. I’m a lone cultivator after all. If anyone knows I have this information, they will attribute it to the All Ages Alliance.”

“That’s good, I wish Friend Xu all the best!”

The elder of the Mu family stated with a bow.

“I shall take my leave!”

Xu Yan nodded, took a step forward, and disappeared on the spot.

The Thousand Martial Province is one of the five largest provinces in the Ling Domain, under the exclusive control of the Thousand Martial Hall, and also one of the most powerful provinces in the Ling Domain.

All the powers present in the Province, the Three Kingdoms, Seven Sects, and Eight Great Clans, are all subservient to the Thousand Martial Hall, managing the large province. The Thousand Martial Hall, being the Transcendent Spirit Sect, naturally wouldn’t manage these trivial matters itself.

The All Ages Alliance emerged with a strong presence, yet, the Transcendent Spirit Sect couldn’t suppress the Alliance’s power, and the Spirit Sect’s rule over the Ling Domain was challenged to a certain extent.

However, the foundation of the Transcendent Spirit Sect was, after all, extraordinary.

With the start of the contest among the heaven’s chosen ones, the top heavenly prodigies from various top Spirit Sects began to make their moves, making their way onto the leaderboard, to compete with the heaven’s chosen ones of the All Ages Alliance.

So far into the contest, the Spirit Sect has the absolute upper hand.

The Transcendent Spirit Sect was unflustered, not sending out a single heaven’s chosen one as if waiting for the last moment to make an unbeatable appearance and sweep away the heaven’s chosen ones of the All Ages Alliance.

Or perhaps, to see how deep the foundation of the All Ages Alliance is.

There is no existence of the All Ages Alliance in the Thousand Martial Province, even less likely that any heaven’s chosen of the All Ages Alliance, dare to challenge the Thousand Martial Province.

Therefore, to the heaven’s chosen of the Thousand Martial Hall, and even the heaven’s chosen of the Three Kingdoms, Seven Sects, and Eight Great Clans, all they needed to do was to focus on cultivating, continuously enhancing their strength, and strive for a good ranking in the final heaven’s chosen showdown.

At this stage of the contest among the heaven’s chosen, it’s the elimination stage, the real heaven’s chosen ones always make their move at the end.

Therefore, when Xu Yan, alone with his sword, arrived at the doorstep of the Thousand Martial Hall, defied the heavens with his sword, and challenged the heaven’s chosen of the Thousand Martial Hall, the warriors of the Thousand Martial Hall were caught off guard and were somewhat bewildered.

“I am Xu Yan, the Sword God, here to challenge the Heavenly Chosen ones of the Thousand Martial Hall!”

His voice echoed like thunder.

Inside the Thousand Martial Hall, all the powerhouses were taken aback.

Where did this brave man come from, daring to challenge them at the doorstep of the Thousand Martial Hall?

Immediately after, all the warriors of the Thousand Martial Hall turned red with anger, and the elders of the Thousand Martial Hall all wore grim faces.

Has the deterrent power of the Thousand Martial Hall fallen so much?

A loose cultivator actually dares to challenge them?

Moreover, he calls himself the “Sword God”?

Isn’t it known to all that the Sword Dao of the Thousand Martial Hall is considered the best in the Ling Domain?

This is a direct slap on their faces!

“From where does this despicable loose cultivator come from? This isn’t a place where you can act recklessly!”

A deacon from the Thousand Martial Hall appeared, his aura oppressive, and spoke incensed.

“Well, isn’t the pride of Thousand Martial Hall up for a fight?”

Xu Yan’s eyes became cold. This martial artist from the Thousand Martial Hall was indeed rude.

“You, a despicable loose cultivator, are not worthy of provoking the pride of my Thousand Martial Hall to fight. Get lost!”

The Deacon of the Thousand Martial Hall had initially intended to take action directly.

But thinking about the rules of the Pride Competition, he had to restrain himself and roared angrily.

“Then I challenge you. Do you dare to fight?”

Xu Yan said coolly.

The deacon of the Thousand Martial Hall was taken aback at first but then became overjoyed. This ignorant loose cultivator dared to challenge him; he was digging his own grave, and nobody could blame him.

“You’re courting death, I’ll grant you that!”

Even as he spoke, the deacon made his move, striking with lethal force.

The Thousand Martial Hall is indeed shameless, as rumoured!

Xu Yan sneered, his sword slashing out. In an instant, Sword Intent surged, enveloping the mountains and rivers.

This deacon, merely at the peak of Cultivation Realm, was insignificant in Xu Yan’s eyes.

Shush, Shush, Shush!

Mountain River Dragon Roar, Thunderclap Sword, Sudden Annihilation Sword!

Splat!

The Deacon of the Thousand Martial Hall was slain on the spot, reduced to ashes!

“Impudence!”

From within the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall, a martial artist was seething with anger.

A deacon, killed in front of the mountain gate of the Thousand Martial Hall; such a thing hadn’t happened in many years.

The last time something like this happened, it was done by the Blood Demon.

Now, this scene had happened again. He felt as though he had been slapped hard across the face.

Boom!

The aura of a peak Cultivation Realm martial artist was undoubtedly revealed, and a spear shot out from within the mountain gate.

“Thousand Martial Hall, indeed the most shameless Spirit Sect in Ling Domain. So, you’re planning to break the rules of the Pride Competition already?”

Xu Yan sneered rhetorically.

His voice resonated loudly.

From afar, there were already martial artists watching. They all looked shocked. Who was this fearless person who had come to challenge directly at the mountain gate of the Thousand Martial Hall?

The Blood Demon of the past was probably just like this, right?

The spear in mid-air paused. The martial artist from the Thousand Martial Hall had a red face; he would have never cared about the rules of the Pride Competition in the past.

However, the situation was different now.

“I know you want to kill me very much.”

A brilliant smile appeared on Xu Yan’s face, “The ‘pride’ of the Thousand Martial Hall is a bunch of cowards, too afraid to take up the challenge. It’s understandable if you have to fight on behalf of your Sect’s pride.

“Since that’s the case, let me challenge you then. Come on, make your move!”

“You’re speaking nonsense!”

The martial artist from the Thousand Martial Hall was enraged. He wanted to take action, but if he did, it would validate that his Sect’s pride feared battle and had to let him substitute.

If he didn’t act, it seemed like he was cowardly, not daring to act when challenged.

“Despicable villain!”

He ground his teeth in anger.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, “What’s the matter? Not only is your Thousand Martial Hall pride a bunch of cowards, but you, old man, are one too?”

“To death!”

Boom!

The spear was like a dragon, hurtling toward him.

Xu Yan slashed out his sword, the sound of the dragon’s roar filled the air, as he stepped forward, directly confronting the attack.

“The spear technique of the Thousand Martial Hall is indeed not bad!”

Xu Yan had to admit, among cultivators of the same realm, martial artists from the Thousand Martial Hall were indeed much stronger than those from other Spirit Sects and families.

Since he had already made his move, that martial artist from the Thousand Martial Hall no longer hesitated. He pushed his cultivation technique to its limit, with the spear technique of a dragon and spear light like thousands of cold stars, sweeping Xu Yan within.

“Today, you will die!”

Xu Yan merely smiled faintly. He executed his Mountain and River Sword Dao, constantly attacking the opponent. The attacking aura of the other party was absorbed into his body strand by strand.

The momentum of his martial arts was growing, gaining different insights from the hands of different martial artists.

“The Divine Origin Realm is not far off.”

Xu Yan thought to himself silently.
