Chapter 424: Chapter 372: Another 6 People, 1 Person Occupies 11

“You have all indeed opened my eyes!” Pei Xuanjing looked around the five individuals and began speaking.

In the most recent exchange, none of these five held back, exposing their roots completely to his gaze.

Although he had the upper hand in that engagement, Pei Xuanjing was well aware that the foundations of these five were extraordinary. What they lacked compared to him was simply time and accumulation. Given more time to grow, their strength might become even greater.

Maybe in the future, they wouldn’t match him if they each only cultivated one way, but they would still certainly be the cream of the crop within their realm.

Zhao Baiyang and the others stayed silent. They didn’t find cause for pride in his praise.

The united effort of the five of them had fallen short. No matter how you looked at it, there was nothing to be proud of.

Now, they had a clearer understanding of Pei Xuanjing’s terrifying strength.

“Is cultivating three ways simultaneously really so formidable?” wondered several of them in their hearts.

Pei Xuanjing didn’t hide his proposition of cultivating the three ways of Refining Essence, Refining Qi, and Refining Spirit. Although it was not yet universally known, these powerful individuals were very clear about it.

Initially, they didn’t care much about it, considering it just one concept among many.

But now, Pei Xuanjing’s strength had convincingly shown them that cultivating three ways simultaneously was indeed more formidable than single cultivation.

At this moment, many Spirit Realm experts were considering whether they should also find a way to cultivate another way.

“You are all top-notch experts in this world. If you wish to discuss the Dao, then we should do it together. If anyone is interested, you can all join and give it a shot!”

Pei Xuanjing turned his gaze to the other Spirit Realm experts located on the mountain peak, and his resonant voice fell clearly into everyone’s ears.

Those interested can at once take up the fight!

Upon hearing this sentence, everyone’s faces changed.

Especially those martial artists at the front of the mountain, who were practically left speechless.

Huh?

Pei Xuanjing had just fought against five Spirit Realm experts alone, and now he wanted more people to join in. Was he trying to challenge everyone?

Was this confidence or arrogance!

Being able to become powerful Spirit Realm experts in such a short period, they all had extraordinary talent, determination, and comprehension. Even when baited by Pei Xuanjing, they did not feel humiliated.

After all, within the world of martial arts, strength is respected above all. At least for now, Pei Xuanjing had the right to speak in this way.

“Today, this king will learn from you, Grandmaster Pei!” Upon hearing this, Zhu Yousong didn’t hesitate and rose into the air.

Truthfully, he had been itching to challenge Pei Xuanjing again for quite some time. However, due to the current cooperation between the Great Ming imperial court and the Taoist School, and vaguely feeling as though he was being controlled by others, he had been forcefully suppressing his combative intentions.

However, now that Pei Xuanjing had initiated it, he naturally didn’t mind and seized the opportunity to do so.

“Amitabha, since Grandmaster has invited us, I, a modest monk, will also shamelessly join the fight.” The two monks of the North Zen Sect, Wu Fa and Wu Xiang, looked at each other and spontaneously decided to join the fight.

“Taiyuan Wang Clan!”

“Qinghe Cui Clan!”

“Lanxi Li Clan!”

“Please teach us, Grandmaster!” *3.

The three clan elders of the World Clan Alliance also simultaneously rose into the sky and voiced their intent.

At this moment, only those considered allies of Pei Xuanjing, Bai Xiaosheng, Qingxu, and Old Heavenly Master, were left.

Wearing a smile, Bai Xiaosheng asked Qingxu and Old Heavenly Master who were next to him, “Are you two interested?”

Old Heavenly Master laughed and shook his head, “I, an old Daoist, am getting old and do not like fighting and killing. I won’t join in on this excitement. It’s all up to you young people.”

As allies, they shouldn’t have been fighting each other in the first place.

Moreover, even if they did win against one with over ten people, it could hardly be considered a glorious victory. But if they lost, it could be a great loss of face.

As someone who had fought with Pei Xuanjing before, Old Heavenly Master naturally knew how strong he was at that time. Seeing how Pei Xuanjing was handling the current fight against several people, Old Heavenly Master had a rough understanding of his own strength.

Now that Pei Xuanjing was confidently challenging them, that meant he had an extraordinary trump card. At least the two swords used in the previous fight had not been revealed, so even if he did take the challenge, the chance of winning was not great.

Old Heavenly Master did not wish to join the excitement and lose face for nothing.

“I also do not wish to join this excitement.” Upon hearing Old Heavenly Master’s response, Qingxu also declined.

He laughed and asked Bai Xiaosheng, “Aren’t you joining in?”

Leisurely playing with the folding fan in his hand, Bai Xiaosheng smiled, “I don’t like fighting others.”

For Bai Xiaosheng, unless necessary, he didn’t want to do battle with others. For him, all killing moves were for the purpose of protecting the Dao, not for competing with others. Why should he unnecessarily reveal his trump cards?

None of the three had any intention of stepping in. They had decided to stand there and observe.

The other people were not surprised by their decision not to fight, since Pei Xuanjing was their ally. It was only right for them not to challenge him.

But, with just eleven of us, it will be enough!

That was what each of these eleven individuals who had chosen to fight was thinking.

With eleven Spirit Realm experts fighting together, even if Pei Xuanjing was considered the number one person in the world, he wouldn’t be able to win.

“Attempting to fight against eleven experts by himself, Grandmaster Pei is truly formidable!”

“It’s shocking that eleven Spirit Realm experts would unite to fight one person.”

“Each strong individual in this world has their own pride and will not easily join hands with others. Those who can break through to the Spirit Realm are even more so. But Grandmaster Pei has made these eleven forego their pride and challenge him together. It demonstrates his overwhelming strength, forcing these powerful individuals to seriously consider a joint challenge.”

“This fight, as long as Grandmaster Pei doesn’t lose too badly, nobody else could possibly shake his status as the number one person in this world.”

“As far as I can see, no matter whether he wins or loses this battle, it won’t affect the Grandmaster’s prestige. If we didn’t witness it with our own eyes, who could dare to believe that there is anyone strong enough to fight eleven strong individuals alone?”

“He might not necessarily lose. After all, Grandmaster Pei who dares to challenge, certainly must be confident and must have a surefire plan. It’s important to know, his Killing Sword and Sword of Heaven’s Will have not yet been revealed.”

Setting aside the varying perceptions and debates among the ordinary martial artists about this battle, even the Spirit Realm experts who had chosen to fight were speaking up at this moment.

Eleven Spirit Realm experts stood in the air, each occupying a position, surrounding Pei Xuanjing at the center, and subtly blocking all of his escape routes.

Zhao Baiyang looked at Pei Xuanjing, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth: “Brother Pei, I admit your strength, but now, you wish to use your single strength to challenge the eleven of us. Isn’t it a bit overconfident?”

Indeed, Pei Xuanjing had easily defeated the five of them who had joined hands with his own power just now, and they were willingly defeated.

But now, he was actually going to single-handedly fight against eleven people, which seemed like a joke.
