Chapter 224: Duel

Chapter 224: Duel

Chen Bingyu was silent as usual, like an aloof ice beauty, but her temperament was comparable to Nangong Yun’s. She could kill someone without even batting an eye, she would start a slaughter right away.

Chu Tian called out, “Stop!”

It was fine for Shangguan Feichen to die, but he could not kill the innocent cavalry. Chu Tian always had principles in everything he did. He would not kill those who did not deserve to die.

“You’ve caused trouble for me three times, but it can all be understood.” Chu Tian looked at Shangguan Feichen with a helpless expression and said, “Who told me to be more handsome, talented, richer, and more loved by women than you. If we can change spots, I would also kill you out of jealousy.”

Nangong Yun was speechless.

This fellow’s narcissism was unbearable.

Shangguan Feichen’s face turned pale, “You think that with a True Soul Realm expert protecting you, you have no worries in the Southern Summer Country? A True Soul Realm expert counts for nothing to the Shangguan Family!”

Good!

Taking your family to threaten father with!

This fellow only has this little bit of ability!

“I know that you are not convinced, so how about a duel?” Chu Tian could not be without surprises, “I will give you a chance and it will let me see what kind of skills the Western Marquis’ successor possesses!”

One at the peak 3rd Awakened Soul Layer.

Was challenging someone at the 5th Awakened Soul Layer!

This expert of the 5th Awakened Soul Layer was not a normal person, but rather was the Western Marquis’ successor. Not only was Chu Tian’s group shocked, even the several hundred cavalry soldiers were deeply shocked.

With his trivial peak 3rd Awakened Soul Layer cultivation, Chu Tian wanted to challenge Shangguan Feichen at the 5th Awakened Soul Layer!

Could he even win?

This was not a small difference in strength!

The Southern Summer Country had conditions in inheriting titles. For a Marquis’ successor they had to be under thirty years old and have a cultivation in the True Soul Realm.

Shangguan Feichen was the respected Western Marquis’ successor, being trained by the Western Marquis since he was young. Although he was only twenty five years old, his strength already surpassed the past Western Marquis, so there was a 90% chance of him inheriting the Western Marquis title. What did Chu Tian count for? A man of low birth, no matter how many opportunities he had, how could he challenge the successor?

Nangong Yun had already fought with Shangguan Feichen and she had felt the Western Marquis’ successor’s strength. With her cultivation at the 4th Awakened Soul Layer and the Starlight Immortal Body, she could only just block Shangguan Feichen’s power.

No matter how strong Chu Tian was, with just his peak 3rd Awakened Soul Layer strength, his defense could not even compare to Nangong Yun’s. Could he really block Shangguan Feichen’s power?

Shangguan Feichen was stunned.

Chu Tian clearly had the upper hand, so why would he make this kind of decision? However, wasn’t this great for him?

“Let’s duel then!”

“Move back!” Chu Tian said to Chen Bingyu, “No one is allow to make a move, understand?”

They weren’t unfamiliar with Chu Tian’s disposition, so the girls could only helplessly move back.

“I don’t know if I should call you ignorant or stupid!” Shangguan Feichen lifted his large brush and said with a cold smile, “If you really think you can block me, then you’ll die from overconfidence!”

“These words can also be said to you!” Chu Tian slowly raised his Netherworld Sword and a crystal blue flame was slowly released from the blade’s edge, “An overconfident person will usually meet death!”

“What a joke! I am the Western Marquis’ successor! A wild monkey from who knows where dares to challenge me?” Shangguan Feichen felt like he had been deeply insulted, “I want you to die!”

The giant pen was raised.

Wind Killing Array!

Countless drops of black ink came from the giant pen, falling around Chu Tian like raindrops. They connected together and formed a giant array, trapping Chu Tian in the center as countless wind blades attacked him.

Several blue wind blades quickly flew out.

The Netherworld Sword released its power, freeing him from the restriction. Chu Tian instantly disappeared and a streak of sword glow broke the array, flying at Shangguan Feichen.

What kind of power was this?

It broke the array so easily!

Shangguan Feichen quickly used his pen to block it, creating blue sparks all around him. Chu Tian launched another attack from another direction and Shangguan Feichen waved his hand, also blocking this sword glow.

Chu Tian launched several attacks to no avail.

“Your sword art is only so-so. The speed is fine, but it is too weak!”

Shangguan Feichen suddenly stomped the ground and accurately attacked Chu Tian, falling onto Chu Tian’s blade. Chu Tian was sent flying back several meters and his blade continued to tremble.

The Western Marquis’ successor had some real skills.

Chu Tian easily broke his array.

But he had also easily broken Chu Tian’s sword art.

“I want to know, after you lose the sword in your hand, what other attacks can you use?” Shangguan Feichen said in a taunting manner, “Watch my weapon?”

On the blue crystal edge of the Netherworld Sword appeared a layer of dark black energy. It was like a seal black ink that turned into small tadpole like runes that formed a giant seal.

Chu Tian’s hand fell.

The Netherworld Sword’s weight increased by a thousand times and he was unable to lift it.

“What’s wrong? Your sword has already been sealed!” Shangguan Feichen proudly said, “This attack has ruined your sword and the next attack will cripple you!”

“Such insignificant skills.” Chu Tian released the Abyss Netherworld Flame, instantly evaporating the seal on the blade’s edge.

Shangguan Feichen was shocked.

“It seems like you still can’t seal my sword.” Chu Tian easily lifted his sword and said to Shangguan Feichen, “Have another look at your weapon!”

Shangguan Feichen was stunned. Looking down, his expression changed. On that diamond like pen, there were several cracks and quite a few flames still burning.

What? This pen was a top grade Soul Weapon, but it was damaged by Chu Tian!

Damn!

Shangguan Feichen was filled with anger. His pen danced in the air and with a wave of the pen, spirit ink appeared, each drop turning into a rune. They scattered over a range of thirty meters, forming an incomparably huge source energy array. The entire area it covered formed a hole from the incredible strength being released, “Gravity Seal!”

Chu Tian’s body sunk like a small mountain was placed on him.

Shangguan Feichen wielded the giant pen again, causing a large amount of black ink to scatter, sending dense black dots in every direction. Many of them formed seals that howled as they flew out, each one containing a strong destructive might.

“Sword!”

The Demon God’s Sword Source Spirit was released.

The Netherworld Sword’s light grew stronger.

Chu Tian continuously released streaks of sword qi that burnt away the oncoming seals, turning them into black spirit ink that fell to the ground. The spirit ink did not disappear and its drops connected with one another, forming another giant array.

“Ink Shadow Step!”

Shangguan Feichen flew out as fast as possible.

Every step he took perfectly fell onto a dot of ink.

This was a refined movement technique that allowed him to use the spirit array. Shangguan Feichen could instantly appear anywhere the ink was. With this speed, he was hard to catch, so he could launch a wild storm of attacks. He did not believe that Chu Tian could defend from all these directions at once.

He had a bit of skill.

But to Chu Tian, this kind of technique was just child’s play!

Chu Tian’s Demon God’s Sword Source Spirit released a strong energy and the Netherworld Sword was stabbed into the ground. Columns of flames erupted, instantly evaporating the spirit ink on the ground, while also sending a Raging Flame Slash at Shangguan Feichen.

Dang!

Shangguan Feichen was sent flying.

The top grade pen Soul Weapon was cut in two!

Everyone was dumbfounded. A single slash was enough to destroy the Western Marquis’ successor’s Soul Weapon. Was that weapon already a Soul Contracting grade weapon?

“Don’t think that you can use a good sword to beat me. I will let you know that the difference in cultivation bases cannot be surmounted with just a good sword!”

Shangguan Feichen gave a wild angry roar as all the spirit energy in his body was released, creating a large amount of spirit ink. Like a giant angry wave, it swallowed everything in its path.

Chu Tian raised his sword high in the sky.

Flames erupted all around him, condensing in a single point above his sword in the air. It turned into a giant fireball that released a ray as dazzling as the sun.

“Die!”

Shangguan Feichen came like a wave. Wherever he went, arrays and runes appeared.

Chu Tian waved his sword and the blue fireball turned. Like it gathered the wind, it turned into a giant fireball that met the black wave of ink head on.

Like a collision of water and fire, neither one would yield!”

Shangguan Feichen roared, “It’s my victory!”

His confidence was very justified. Chu Tian’s attack was very strong, but it used most of his spirit energy. Shangguan Feichen’s cultivation base was stronger and he still had over half his spirit energy left. Even if this exchange were even, he still was capable of continuing the fight.

So what if Chu Tian could compete with him for a short duration?

The final victory would be Shangguan Feichen!

When Shangguan Feichen felt that victory was at hand, the result was not as he imagined. When the black wave and the fireball met, it was not an equal match, but rather an uneven fight.

The fireball had a strong tearing ability. No matter how many seals Shangguan Feichen condensed, they were all burnt away by the fireball and used as fuel to make it stronger!

After a minute, around half of Shangguan Feichen’s ink wave had been evaporated!

The fireball was twice as big as before!

“What is this!”

Shangguan Feichen revealed a look of fright!

The fireball underwent a strange change and the dense flame split apart. It formed four limbs and turned into a giant flame demon. Its eyes released a red glow and its body was covered in blue, green flames, with incomparably fierce demon horns on its head.

This was not an illusion!

Shangguan Feichen could feel that the demon’s strength was not below his own!

Chu Tian coldly ordered, “Kill him!”

“Yes, master!”

Netherworld’s fist smashed through the ink wave, slamming into Shangguan Feichen’s body. The Abyss Netherworld Flames were released, instantly swallowing Shangguan Feichen.

“Ah!”

Shangguan Feichen gave a pitiful cry as he was slammed into the ground by that fist.

“What?” Chu Tian said with a taunting smile, “The Western Marquis’ successor is only this strong?”

Shangguan Feichen wanted to run from embarrassment.

The flame demon turned into streaks of flame as it instantly blocked off Shangguan Feichen. Its palm was raised in the sky, instantly inflating several times, becoming a giant palm. It blocked out the sun as it smacked down at Shangguan Feichen.

“Stop!”

An arrow flew through the air.

It pierced through the flame demon’s hand. A layer of ice energy surrounded the demon and it made Netherworld stop for a second.

Cavalry came from the distance.

Leading them was the Golden Arrow Marquis’ successor Jiang Shan who had just shot the arrow.

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction, “Brother Jiang, you’re interfering in someone else’s matters!”

“Brother Chu, you can’t kill him!” Jiang Shan seemed like he had suffered a bitter fight and his body was covered in injuries. There were only two-three hundred cavalry left of the original one thousand, “If you kill him, have you considered the Western Marquis’ retaliation?”

Chu Tian shrugged, “I wasn’t going to kill him, I was just going to cripple him!”

Jiang Shan was speechless.

Wasn’t that the same?

Jiang Shan quickly advised, “Give me some face. He’s already heavily injured, so just forget it!”

“Alright!” Chu Tian looked at the half dead Shangguan Feichen and sighed, “I’ll give you some face then!”
