Chapter 1469: Duel

Chapter 1469 -1468: Duel

“Great Elder?! “

Wugong Shou He, Wugong Qian Dai, and others all looked on in surprise at the elder in linen clothes walking forward step by step. What did the Great Elder intend to do at this time?

“What, are you trying to beg for mercy?”

Fengmo Tianchuan watched the elder in linen approaching, with a mocking gleam in his eyes, “It’s too late to beg for mercy now. Besides, even if you do now, it won’t help. Today, the Wugong Family is doomed to destruction. Everyone must die.”

Shang Quan Yi Xin also looked at the elder in linen with some disdain, clearly sharing the same sentiment as Fengmo Tianchuan.

“I am not here to beg for mercy.”

To their surprise, the elder in linen appeared calm, and suddenly a gleam of brilliance flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes, “I am here to challenge you to a duel!”

“What?”

The moment these words were spoken, not only Shang Quan Yi Xin and Fengmo Tianchuan were shocked, but even the various powerful figures of the Wugong Family in the distance were visibly shaken. They clearly did not expect the elder in linen to propose a duel to these two family heads at this time?

In the Yingzhou Martial Arts World, dueling is an ancient tradition typically reserved for life-and-death battles. The leader of one faction challenges the leader of another to a one-on-one duel.

If both parties agree to the duel and one side wins, they must unconditionally fulfill the winner’s demands.

But how could the elder in linen be a match for Fengmo Tianchuan and Shang Quan Yi Xin?

This was clearly an uneven duel in terms of strength!

Everyone understood that this was probably just a desperate counterattack from a cornered beast.

“A duel?”

Shang Quan Yi Xin raised an eyebrow, “You actually came up with such an idea. Why do you think we would agree to a duel with you?”

“What, are the two family heads afraid of an old man who is about to enter the grave?”

The elder in linen remained unfazed, and a trace of sarcasm appeared on his wrinkled old face, “If this gets out, you two might become the laughingstock of the entire Yingzhou Martial Arts World.”

Upon hearing this, both Shang Quan Yi Xin and Fengmo Tianchuan frowned. They both valued their reputations, and this old man likely seized upon that point to propose a duel to them.

“A futile effort.”

Shang Quan Yi Xin shook his head. He exchanged a glance with Fengmo Tianchuan, and after the latter nodded in agreement, he took a step forward and said, “I agree to duel with you, but regardless of whether we duel or not, the result will not change.”

Seeing Shang Quan Yi Xin agree to the duel, a glow also flashed in the elder’s eyes, and then his hoarse voice resounded again, “In this duel, if I win, the Fengmo Clan and Shangquan Family must unconditionally retreat and never invade the Wugong Family again. If Your Excellency wins, then the people of the Wugong Family are at your disposal.”

“No problem.”

Shang Quan Yi Xin agreed without much thought. If he couldn’t handle an old man who was one level lower than him in cultivation, then he wasn’t fit to be a family head.

The moment Shang Quan Yi Xin agreed to the duel, the swordsmen of the Shangquan Family and the ninjas of the Fengmo Clan all halted and backed off, automatically opening up a large area as the dueling ground.

With eyes as sharp as a hawk’s, Shang Quan Yi Xin slowly drew the long knife from his waist. The moment he unsheathed the knife, a magnificent aura instantly enveloped the entire dueling arena, swirling rapidly like a tornado and fiercely pressing down on the elder in linen!

The terrifying cultivation of the Saint Dao Sixfold Realm was fully displayed in this moment!

Those strong figures who were nearby were directly suppressed by this pressure, unable to move a muscle.

Clang!

In the instant the knife aura oppressed the elder in linen, Shang Quan Yi Xin struck. He either did not strike or he struck with such force that it was a lethal blow. With one slash, the agonizing wails of Fierce Ghosts seemed to echo, seeping everywhere, making one’s heart tremble.

This strike not only involved a slash of sword light but also carried a powerful mental attack!

This is the Single Sword Style of Shangquan!

“Great Elder!”

Seeing Shang Quan Yi Xin’s terrifying blow, Wugong Shou He and others were startled; even from a distance, they felt the terrifying edge of this slash, let alone the elder in linen standing before Shang Quan Yi Xin!

However, amidst those horrified gazes, the elder in linen suddenly formed signs with both hands, and an aura that was not weak erupted. From his body surged forth a magnificent blue airflow, which, under his vigorous urging, wrapped around him layer after layer. In the end, people could see clearly that the blue airflow was a Blue Dragon, coiling around the elder in linen, exuding a formidable might!

Swish!

Shang Quan Yi Xin’s blade light fiercely pierced into the blue dragon airflow coiling around the elder in linen, penetrating four or five inches deep, nearly piercing through, yet just falling short without fully penetrating; it was unexpectedly blocked.

Nonetheless, the fierce force contained in Shang Quan Yi Xin’s slash still blasted the elder in linen’s body away, and the two bodies shot out along a straight trajectory, crashing into a building path.

“Old guy, still has some backbone!”

Failing to penetrate the elder in linen’s defense with one strike made Shang Quan Yi Xin’s eyes darken slightly. His Single Sword Style, like a raptor, excelled at a single lethal blow, and who would have thought the elder in linen could withstand it.

Not making a sound, the elder in linen continued to frantically urge his True Qi, fortifying his defense.

Shang Quan Yi Xin snorted coldly, his hand’s speed with the knife suddenly increasing, transforming into three blades of shadows in a flash. These three blades unleashed the Single Sword Style almost simultaneously, falling on the elder’s body, creating three more holes, and once again sending him flying.

As he knocked the elder away, Shang Quan Yi Xin rushed out again, a disdainful smirk lifting at the corner of his mouth as he thrust his knife straight at the elder’s heart.

“The gap is too large!”

Wugong Shou He and others felt their hearts sink into despair; just after the fight started, the elder was completely at a disadvantage, even completely beyond their expectations.

Just as the blade light seemed about to pierce the elder’s heart, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of the elder’s mouth. Then in his eyes surged forth a mass of blue flames, and in that instant, the elder’s aura exploded, suddenly more than doubling!

“What?”

Shang Quan Yi Xin’s expression instantly changed. This elder had deliberately feigned weakness, intending to catch him off guard and suddenly erupt at his moment of complacency to unexpectedly defeat him!
