Hu hu…
Taoist Qingxu also fell into silence. It was clear what the two of them disagreed on, and neither was willing to back down.
But then, Pei Xuanjing spoke with a clear voice, “From a nameless nobody, I, Pei, have made a name for myself today. Along this journey, I’ve witnessed countless happenings and come to understand a few things.”
All eyes turned to Pei Xuanjing, interested to hear what this formidable martial artist, regarded as potentially the strongest in the world, had to say.
“Regardless of right or wrong in this world, everything boils down to this: The law of the jungle.” The law of the jungle!
These four words represent the most underlying principle of this world. Everything else is illusory, only the strong have the right to speak
Just like now, if Pei Xuanjing did not have the power, no one would pay him any attention today. Regardless of whether the label of a Remnant of Shenxiao on his back was false or not, nobody would care, they would merely seek to eradicate him.
However, even though Pei Xuanjing is a wanted man by the imperial court, they haven’t tried to execute him. Instead, they’re choosing to negotiate with him.
Because Pei Xuanjing’s power frightens them. They understand that he possesses the power capable of destroying them.
The outcry of the weak falls on deaf ears, but the murmur of the strong is heard by all.
Everyone fell silent. No one could deny this truth.
No matter how much they adorn and embellish their daily lives, it cannot cover up their true nature.
Pei Xuanjing glanced at Zhu Yousong with a light smile, “I originally thought to solve this matter by exterminating the powerful ones of the royal family. Then no one would be able to object.”
Although his words sounded calm, they were filled with an intense killing intent, making countless people gasp.
No one doubted whether Pei Xuanjing would do so.
Even though Pei Xuanjing claimed that he disliked bloodshed, nobody believed him.
After all, along the path of his rise to power, countless people have died beneath his feet.
One could say that Pei Xuanjing’s ascendance was forged on the bones of countless powerful martial artists.
“You dare!” Zhu Yousong roared in anger.
For being insulted in such a way, he couldn’t help but feel furious.
However, Pei Xuanjing ignored his anger, and continued calmly, “But today, I decided to give Taoist
Qingxu some face and choose a different method?”
Taoist Qingxu timely asked, “Please proceed, Taoist friend.”
With a swish of his robe, Pei Xuanjing proposed loudly, “Since both parties are adamant, why not go for the simplest solution — to settle the dispute through a martial arts competition.”
“Hehe, Taoist friend, your strength is immense. Even with my abilities, I’m afraid I’m no match for you. This seems a bit…” Taoist Qingxu left his sentence hanging, but his meaning was clear.
Given the strength that Pei Xuanjing had displayed, not just the imperial court of the Great Ming, but even the entire world, would lack confidence to defeat him.
Or in other words, if the imperial court of the Great Ming had someone who was confident about besting Pei Xuanjing, would they still be negotiating with him here?
However, when many heard Taoist Qingxu admit that even he couldn’t defeat Pei Xuanjing, they were stunned. Despite having suspected as much, hearing it confirmed by Qingxu still left them astonished.
‘Hehe.’ Pei Xuanjing laughed lightly, “I haven’t finished my thoughts, if today, anyone can withstand three of my moves, then let’s leave today’s matter aside. I shall turn around and leave without another word. How about it?”
If someone can withstand three of his moves, then they win?
Whoosh!
There was an uproar. Nobody expected Pei Xuanjing to be so arrogant.
Indeed, arrogant!
Even if they admitted that Pei Xuanjing is rightfully the strongest man in the world, such an attitude was disrespectful.
Leaving all else aside, the Prince of Xiang, Zhu Yousong, was close to being the supreme martial artist in the world. It’S only that Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t ranked him so.
No one doubted that Pei Xuanjing could defeat him, but claiming that Zhu Yousong wouldn’t even last three moves against him was excessively arrogant.
Many who originally planned to take advantage of Pei Xuanjing’s power secretly frowned. They speculated whether Pei Xuanjing was worried about Taoist Qingxu and Zhu Yousong joining forces. It seemed he might be finding an opportunity to retreat.
Pei Xuanjing looked at Zhu Yousong with an inscrutable smile, “Your Highness, you can’t even muster such courage?”
“Pei Xuanjing, how dare you insult me!” Zhu Yousong glared in anger.
He knew that Pei Xuanjing was trying to provoke him, but he accepted the challenge nonetheless.
Because at this point, there was no room for retreat. This proposition of Eng Xuanjing was an open scheme, they didn’t have the option to refuse.
If they chose to refuse under such circumstances, the dignity of the Great Ming royal family would be swept away. In the future, how could the Zhu family have the face to rule this world and qualify to possess this vast and prosperous land.
Pei Xuanjing nodded in satisfaction, asking, “If Your Highness can withstand my three moves, the matter of today will be dropped. I will no longer bring it up and I will leave immediately. What if Your Highness is unable to do so?”
Zhu Yousong declared solemnly, “If today, this prince is unable to withstand your three moves, then, from today on, you, Pei Xuanjing, and the Zhu household shall share this Great Ming world!”
As his words echoed, a deathly silence fell.
“Deal!” A satisfied smile appeared on Pei Xuanjing’s face.
He turned to Taoist Qingxu and said, “Would the Sect Leader kindly be our witness?”
“Agreed!” Taoist Qingxu nodded solemnly.
Having said that, he moved several feet away, leaving enough space for the two of them to duel.
In the middle of the square, the two stood facing each other.
Zhu Yousong, the Prince of Xiang, was dressed in a python robe with both hands behind his back, his expression solemn as he gazed at Pei Xuanjing.
Facing such an unprecedented opponent, he didn’t dare to relax even if there were only three moves.
Because as a martial artist, he knew that if Pei Xuanjing dared to say so, he must have had enough confidence. Otherwise, it would simply be a humiliation to himself
So, these three moves he was about to face would definitely be the strongest of Pei Xuanjing’s.
In other words, this could be even more dangerous than when he was under siege by Maitreya Sect Leader Zhao Baiyang and the Diamond Sect’s Master. “Your Highness, are you ready?” Pei Xuanjing smiled.
“Make your move!”
As he spoke, Zhu Yousong’s True Qi circulated within his body; Imperial Realm Worldly Skill was activated and a faint golden glow slowly emanated from his skin.
In an instant, he was entirely enveloped in golden Aura. With his hands slowly coming down from behind his back, and fingers clenched into fists, he was prepared to make his move.
“Good!” Pei Xuanjing grinned mildly. With a flick of his wrist, the Blood God Blade which he was toying with vanished, disappearing somewhere..
