My Master Knows It All

1035: Chapter 272_3 1035: Chapter 272_3 “He has nowhere to retreat.

With so many of us here, as soon as we make our move, he is bound to die.”

“No!” the Vice Sect Master Yan from the Flowing Light Sect immediately objected upon hearing this, “The other party has not shown any hostility, and even just now when he crossed hands with our Flowing Light Sect’s Xia Congyun, he showed mercy.

If we, on the other hand, strike to kill him in return?

For such a figure, I fear the entire Eastern Wasteland would highly value him.

If we killed their people, the entire Eastern Wasteland would probably fight us to the death.”

“So what if it does?

If he dies, are we in the Eastern Border afraid of them?

Besides, isn’t East Breeze planning to attack the Eastern Border?

When the time comes, with us attacking from both sides, how could the Eastern Wasteland withstand us?” Jue Jianzi stared coldly at Deputy Sect Leader Yan and said, “Deputy Sect Leader Yan, are you really willing to disregard the safety of our Eastern Border?”

“I didn’t mean that, it’s just…”

Deputy Sect Leader Yan wanted to say more, but suddenly, the voice of Cao Zhen echoed from the void.

“So you want to kill me?” Cao Zhen raised his hand and pointed at Jue Jianzi, “If you want to kill me, just do it.

I’ll give you a chance.

You and I will fight one-on-one.

I won’t let others interfere.

If you have the skill, take advantage of my present state with only nine Golden Elixir and slay me.

Why bother inciting others?”

Upon hearing Cao Zhen’s voice, Jue Jianzi’s face showed a hint of surprise.

Although his voice had not been low, given the chaos here, and considering the distance between them, it was surprising the other party had heard.

It meant the other’s cultivation base was even higher than he had thought!

However, one-on-one…

Jue Jianzi looked up at Cao Zhen and confirmed once more, “Just the two of us, with no one else interfering?

Are you sure?”

Although it wouldn’t sound good for him, a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, to spar one-on-one with a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, the fact was that although the people of the Eastern Border had recognized Cao Zhen’s terror, no one had yet clearly expressed the intention to take action.

Now, Cao Zhen was offering to fight him one-on-one.

This was the best chance to kill Cao Zhen.

Yes, Cao Zhen was indeed powerful and terrifying.

Once Cao Zhen broke through to become a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, he himself would no longer be Cao Zhen’s match.

But now, Cao Zhen was merely nine Golden Pills.

And he was a presence that could be ranked among the top ten throughout the Eastern Wasteland.

How could he not defeat Cao Zhen with all his strength?

The only problem was not to give Cao Zhen a chance to concede defeat.

He had to kill him before the other could concede.

Among the crowd, Yang Yudong felt once again that he was going insane.

What was Cao Zhen thinking?

He had heard Jue Jianzi plotting his death, yet he was still offering himself up!

Hadn’t he heard Deputy Sect Leader Yan speaking up for him?

With Sister Song present, they wouldn’t have agreed to attack directly.

He was already safe, yet he agreed to fight Jue Jianzi one-on-one.

Jue Jianzi, from the Ultimate Sword Sect, one of the ten major Immortal Sects, was a Peak Master who ranked among the top ten in the entire Eastern Border—not a usual Perfect Completion Golden Core!

How was Cao Zhen going head-to-head with Jue Jianzi not seeking death?

In the void, Cao Zhen He nodded slightly to Jue Jianzi and said, “Indeed, it will be a duel between the two of us.

Do you dare to fight me?”

“What is there to fear?” Jue Jianzi responded, abruptly emerging from the crowd and landing in the void opposite Cao Zhen, then turning his head to Xia Congyun, who was still floating midair, and saying, “Sister Xia, now, I am going to fight with this Peak Master Cao from the Eastern Wasteland.

Would you please step aside?”

Xia Congyun, hearing Jue Jianzi’s words, seemed to finally come back to her senses.

However, she did not move aside immediately, but looked at Cao Zhen and said, “You are strong, but you will not be his match.”

Cao Zhen shook his head lightly, “Is that so?

It appears to me that you cannot accept your defeat by me.

Confidence and pride are good, but too much pride can be a bad thing.

Soon, you will understand that it is quite normal to lose to me.

Now, please step aside.”

He had just sensed that Xia Congyun harbored no killing intent, which was why he had spared her.

Now that both duelists asked Xia Congyun to step aside, she had no option but to retreat to one side.

The people of the Eastern Border had not expected the situation to change so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a Peak Master from one of the Eastern Border’s ten major Immortal Sects was going to face a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills combatant.

No matter how strong a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills might be, it was just that.

How could it contend with the utmost top-tier Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection?

If they were the so-called Peak Master Cao, they certainly wouldn’t have accepted the challenge.

Yet, seeing the other party accept, many in the crowd felt a surge of joy.

They truly thought that Jue Jianzi made sense—if they waited for the other party to grow, who could stop this man?

It was better to obliterate him before he fully matured.

After Jue Jianzi flew into the void, behind him, ten phenomenal Golden Cores suddenly appeared.

His ten phenomenal Golden Cores were not all Sharp Swords; five out of the ten Golden Cores’ phenoms were Sharp Sword Xu Yings, but the other five had human-shaped Xu Yings as their phenoms—hazy black figures, emitting an aura of treachery, eeriness, and gloom.

Cao Zhen even faintly felt that the aura emanating from these five Golden Cores’ Xu Ying phenoms bore some resemblance to the Demon Sect’s aura.
