The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1361: Chapter 1361: Challenging the Newcomer

In front of the Great Hall of the Seventh Divine Realm.

”Fifth Divine Realm, what do you mean by this?” Che Gu’s expression was grim, glaring at the dozen or so Nine Tripods Main Gods from the Fifth Divine Realm opposite him.

”Che Gu, why so tense? It’s just a friendly match! Don’t warriors from the Nine Great Divine Realms often spar with each other?” Gai Bin sneered.

What he said wasn’t wrong.

The martial artists from the Nine Great Divine Realms, trapped before this first Heavenly Venerate Mountain, often spar with each other.

Here, their activity space is so limited, with nothing else to do, so they often spar for amusement. Of course, it’s just sparring, without life or death struggles, and usually are restrained exchanges.

During sparring, they might also place some bets.

”Sparring? That’s fine! But what do you mean by challenging Brother Jing Yan? Brother Jing Yan has just entered the Land of Descent and hasn’t even comprehended the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body, yet you feel bold enough to challenge him?” Che Gu sneered.

Hearing Che Gu’s words, some of the martial artists from the Fifth Divine Realm blushed slightly.

But Gai Bin stubbornly retorted, ”Hmph, if you from the Seventh Divine Realm refuse our Fifth Divine Realm’s challenge, that’s your freedom. However, according to the custom, all warriors of the Seventh Divine Realm must bow and concede to us.”

This is indeed the custom of sparring.

When one side challenges the other, the other side can refuse to fight but must bow and concede. If they accept the challenge and lose, they only need to pay the bet, without needing all members to bow and concede.

At this time, martial artists from other divine realms also heard the commotion and gathered not far from the Great Hall of the Seventh Divine Realm to watch.

These martial artists from other realms immediately understood the Fifth Divine Realm’s warriors’ scheme when they saw the situation in front of them.

Actually, martial artists from other divine realms are also quite envious of Jing Yan, this newcomer. They all know that this newcomer Jing Yan certainly carries a lot of consumables like Green Bamboo Wine.

But they still have some dignity, feeling embarrassed to come and challenge the newcomer Jing Yan.

Now seeing people from the Fifth Divine Realm so shamelessly challenge a newcomer just entering the Land of Descent, they felt both disdainful and a little envious of how shameless the warriors of the Fifth Divine Realm could be, while they couldn’t do the same.

”Gai Bin, do you Fifth Divine Realm people really have the nerve to challenge a newcomer who’s just entered the Land of Descent?” said a martial artist from the Third Divine Realm with a laugh.

”What’s there to be embarrassed about? Our Fifth Divine Realm is also sending Gou Qu, the last one to enter the Land of Descent, to fight. Gou Qu is quite suitable to fight Jing Yan, isn’t he?” Gai Bin rolled his eyes and retorted to the martial artist from the Third Divine Realm.

The Gou Qu he mentioned was indeed the last one from the Fifth Divine Realm to enter the Land of Descent, but Gou Qu has been here for tens of millions of years. What he said was pure sophistry.

Gai Bin was determined; since they had already lost face, they might as well make a big fuss over it. For Green Bamboo Wine and other consumables, what does losing face matter?

His biggest fear right now was that people from the Seventh Divine Palace would refuse to fight. If the Seventh Divine Palace chose to concede, he could not force them to the battlefield.

”Gai Bin, since you people from the Fifth Divine Realm want to fight us from the Seventh Divine Realm, why don’t I have a match with you?” Che Gu’s face was somber, his gaze fixed on Gai Bin, speaking in a steady voice.

Gai Bin smiled at the corner of his mouth, saying, ”Che Gu, if you want to duel me, that’s fine. But you’ll have to wait until Gou Qu spars with Jing Yan first, then it will be our turn!”

”You people from the Seventh Divine Realm, can you stop dithering? Are you men or not? Could you be a bit more straightforward? Dare to accept the challenge or not, it’s just a word. If not, just concede, bow, and admit defeat.” Gai Bin waved his arm, provoking.

As he spoke, his gaze remained on Jing Yan. Naturally, he could see that Jing Yan was quite young, and in his mind, Jing Yan should be relatively easy to provoke, having a youthful spirit!

And as long as Jing Yan was willing to fight, the job was done.

A warrior just entering the Land of Descent could hardly compare to someone like Gou Qu, who has trained here for tens of millions of years. Jing Yan should be defeated in two or three moves at Gou Qu’s hands, if not in a single move.

The people of the Seventh Divine Realm exchanged glances silently.

Che Gu and others exchanged glances with Jing Yan. At this time, Jing Yan also frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected to encounter such a challenge right after coming in.

However, he wasn’t too worried. These warriors in the Land of Descent, though each extremely powerful, if placed in the God Realm, would compare to an ordinary Master of Ten Thousand Gods in strength.

But he himself wasn’t exactly a pushover.

When he Ascended the Immortal Bridge back then, he had already been able to defeat an ordinary Master of Ten Thousand Gods. With subsequent cultivation, his Nihility Domain reached the ultimate level, and his strength increased significantly.

After entering the Land of Descent and experiencing the Red Flame Land, Jing Yan made significant progress in the use of Divine Power and Sword Intent Domain. Such combat effectiveness already allowed him to sweep across ordinary Masters of Ten Thousand Gods.

Jing Yan believed his combat strength in the God Realm could contend head-on with a Third-class God Lord.

In the Seventh Divine Realm, figures like Senior Brother Shan Hai Divine Sovereign and Fenghua Venerable Divine were Super First-class God Lords. Figures like Wu Huo Ancestor were First-class God Lords. Characters like Wan Jun and Qian Liu were Second-tier God Masters. Below them were even weaker Third-class God Lords.

Below Third-class God Lords were those ordinary great abilities.

Now with Jing Yan’s combat strength, facing a Third-class God Lord head-on was unlikely to be at a disadvantage, and defeating a Third-class God Lord was even possible.

At this time, martial artists from other divine realms were also watching Jing Yan. They were all speculating on what decision this newcomer Jing Yan would make. Would he accept the challenge, or refuse?

”Jing Yan, is that right?”

In the silence, the Gou Qu warrior from the Fifth Divine Realm looked at Jing Yan and spoke.

”If you’re worried about dying at my hands, there’s no need, I won’t kill, nor even injure you. How about we make an agreement that if I can’t defeat you within three moves, it’s considered my loss?” Gou Qu looked at Jing Yan, a mocking smile on his lips as he spoke.

He had great confidence in his strength. If he couldn’t handle a kid who just entered the Land of Descent in three moves, he might as well bang his head against the great hall in shame.

”Haha, our brother Gou Qu from the Fifth Divine Realm has already made such great concessions! Che Gu, do you still have the nerve to say we are bullying the weak?” Gai Bin Nine Tripods Main God mocked accordingly.
