Chapter 1059: Chapter 1058: You Forced Me! (2 more)

”Although the newly formed alliance doesn’t have much strength, sending a weak girl to duel with the Tianyu Alliance Hierarch is really quite unreasonable.”

”Look at that young lady, how wronged she seems—she’s clearly being forced into this situation.”

”Honestly, in my opinion, such an alliance might as well be dissolved entirely!”

The surrounding cultivators were all chatting noisily.

At this moment, Zhu Wenjing indeed felt somewhat aggrieved, as she had already apologized to Chen Batian, yet he was still unwilling to let it go.

”Brother Ye, why not let me go instead? Just look at her; does she seem like a match for Chen Batian?” At present, the Long Alliance also had quite a few Foundation Establishment experts, all of whom were eager to test their skills.

Ye Haochuan responded, ”A dignified Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator—how could she not be his match?”

”F-Foundation Establishment Late Stage?” Langfan’s jaw dropped wide open in shock. Then, in utter panic, he exclaimed, ”She’s barely what, in her early twenties? You people are downright monsters, so freakish it’s beyond belief!”

Zhu Qingshuang asked perplexedly, ”If she has that kind of strength, then why did she apologize to Chen Batian and even suggest canceling the duel?”

Ye Haochuan thought for a moment, then said, ”Although she’s a bit headstrong, she’s still quite reasonable. Perhaps it’s because she’s been confined indoors for most of her life, with very little interaction with the outside world, which made her more naive and straightforward—she rarely bullies others.”

”Quit beating around the bush. What’s really going on with her?” Zhu Tian impatiently interjected.

”Just now, everyone should have heard Chen Batian declare his level of cultivation, right?”

”We did indeed!”

”Based on my guess, it should be that Zhu Wenjing only realized Chen Batian’s cultivation level afterward, which made her feel her earlier challenge to duel him was a bit like bullying him. That’s why she apologized and suggested ending the match.”

Ye Haochuan’s guess was spot on. Zhu Wenjing felt embarrassed. As a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert, she’d been pestering Chen Batian—essentially bullying him—and this realization was akin to an adult insisting a child fight them. It was plainly unfair!

Thus, upon learning of Chen Batian’s cultivation, Zhu Wenjing immediately apologized, explaining she hadn’t purposefully aimed to bully anyone but had simply been unaware.

However, in the eyes of the onlookers, this entire sequence appeared as if Zhu Wenjing was afraid to fight Chen Batian and was backing out in fear.

And with her apologizing and proposing to cancel the duel, it only inflated Chen Batian’s ego further, making him believe his sheer prowess had intimidated her.

Coincidentally, he even relished the moment, becoming increasingly relentless in his demands. The mage wanted to harshly teach Zhu Wenjing a lesson, and in doing so, humiliate Ye Haochuan and tarnish the Long Alliance’s reputation!

”The duel has already begun. Unless you admit defeat, I will not stop!”

With that said, Chen Batian immediately charged toward Zhu Wenjing, holding a frost-coated blade in his hand.

”Admit defeat?” Zhu Wenjing became annoyed. ”It’s not like I can’t beat you—why should I admit defeat?”

She had only wanted to stop the duel out of fairness. Admitting defeat was something entirely different—how could anyone confuse the two?

In an instant, Chen Batian was already in front of Zhu Wenjing. A streak of icy light cleaved downward, his wide blade vibrating intensely.

Chen Batian’s offensive move was overbearing. Although he avoided striking Zhu Wenjing’s vital areas, anyone could tell how ruthless he was.

Having experienced life-and-death battles, his blade strikes were exceptionally savage.

Zhu Wenjing was naturally gifted, but having been overprotected by her family growing up, she rarely faced proper combat situations. Yet, ever since being defeated by Ye Haochuan, she’d pestered her elders at home to practice more seriously and reveal their true abilities during sparring.

Her grandfather knew well that without real combat experience, even the highest cultivation would amount to little. Previously, he’d been unwilling to let her take risks, but after witnessing her suffer losses, he steeled his resolve and rigorously trained her.

After just two days of intensified training, her strength had improved significantly. Coupled with the fact that her cultivation was two entire boundaries above Chen Batian’s, she easily dodged his aggressive blade strike.

Nonetheless, the bloodthirsty aura from Chen Batian’s attack still placed considerable pressure on Zhu Wenjing.

”Hey! We’re supposed to be dueling for practice—aren’t you being a bit too harsh?” Zhu Wenjing voiced her displeasure, still treating the match as a typical sparring session for cultivators.

Chen Batian, having missed his first strike, paid her remarks no heed, swinging his blade across again. The blade’s aura sliced through the air, its frosty gleam sharp and chilling.

Zhu Wenjing tapped the tip of her shoe lightly, retreating backwards in an instant, avoiding his attack completely.

Suddenly, Chen Batian ascended to a higher altitude, raising the frost blade over his head before letting out a thunderous cry: ”Ferocious Blade Strike!”

”Buzz!”

A resounding metallic hum echoed through the air. The frost blade emitted a heavy black gleam, its icy brilliance surging dramatically as its aura extended a hundred feet, descending fiercely from above.

This strike was terrifying—full of unrelenting power and dominant energy, nearly impossible for someone of the same cultivation level to withstand.

Hastily, Zhu Wenjing raised a protective shield. Spiritual energy surged violently from her body, spreading outward in waves like an ocean tide.

”Clang!”

The immense icy gleam collided with her shield, producing a deafening sound. The blade’s aura shattered instantly, dissipating within moments.

In comparison, Zhu Wenjing stood there, her shield intact, entirely unharmed.

”H-how is this possible?” Chen Batian couldn’t believe his eyes. His Ferocious Blade Strike, even if not his strongest technique, carried at least eighty percent of his combat strength. Yet it hadn’t even penetrated her shield!

Infuriated by Chen Batian’s relentless aggression, Zhu Wenjing cloaked herself in a faint blue glow, and suddenly began spinning midair.

The light radiating off her body transformed into arrows, scattering in all directions, resembling raindrops flung from an umbrella spinning on a stormy day.

In an instant, the shimmering arrows coalesced, taking on dense, sharpened forms. Their speed accelerated, producing piercing whistles as they tore through the air.

”Whoosh, whoosh!”

This attack was indiscriminate, flooding the sky with countless arrows, many of which bombarded the villa ruthlessly.

However, a golden protective shield rose outside the villa, blocking all the arrows with a series of reverberating clinks.

On the other side, Chen Batian attempted to fend off the attack with his frost blade but couldn’t deflect it all. The glowing blue arrows pierced through him, inflicting injuries outright. Within mere moments, blood began trickling from the corner of his mouth.

”This... this aura!” The crowd exclaimed in shock. ”It’s Foundation Establishment Late Stage!”

Only then did the audience realize this seemingly delicate girl was, in reality, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert!

”You’re so shameless! I already said I don’t want to fight, but you kept pushing me to strike!” Zhu Wenjing took a step forward, glaring at Chen Batian with an annoyed expression. ”Since you insist, I’ll see this through to the end!”

”Ack!”

Chen Batian spat out a mouthful of blood in rage, thinking to himself, ”Today I’ve truly learned the meaning of ’playing the pig to eat the tiger!’”

Even though she was clearly a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert, she had pretended to display weakness earlier—what a cunning ploy by the Long Alliance!

At this point, Chen Batian still believed Zhu Wenjing’s earlier apology had been a calculated act of feigned humility, regardless of whether that was true or not.

The captain of the Galaxy Battle Team was completely dumbfounded. He had originally encouraged the Tianyu Alliance and the Long Alliance to duel, hoping they’d both suffer heavy losses. Who could have expected a random Vice Alliance Hierarch from the Long Alliance to turn out to be a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert?

”Haha!” Duan Guichuan laughed heartily. ”Dear leaders, it seems my luck was still slightly better this time. Shall we continue watching?”

Gong Hanlang and the others wore sour expressions and shouted, ”Bring the wine!”
