Chapter 148 126 Shameless Villain
"You want to challenge an Inner Sect Disciple?"
Elder Feng was taken aback, glanced at Shang Yu, and then said, "Alright, which Inner Sect Disciple do you wish to challenge?"
"I wish to challenge Brother Feng from among the Inner Sect Disciples."
As soon as Shang Yu finished speaking, a red-clothed youth appeared, casually stepping over the heads of the servant disciples, and drifted to the area below the platform.
Upon landing, the red-clothed youth saluted Elder Feng with cupped fists and looked up at Shang Yu on the high stage with a smile:
"If Shang Yu wishes to challenge me, please come down to fight."
On the high stage, Elder Feng warned the red-clothed youth, "Seventeen, Shang Yu is the Deputy Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, a man of significant ability; do not underestimate him."
As Elder Feng spoke, Tian Lin realized that this Brother Feng might be a junior relative of Elder Feng.
He admired Shang Yu's boldness; knowing that Elder Feng was overseeing this duel on the Life and Death Platform, yet he still dared to confront Elder Feng's junior.
"Brother Feng, no offense!"
On the other side, Shang Yu jumped off the stage, cupped his fists, then suddenly raised his right hand.
To Tian Lin's naked eye, he saw Shang Yu throwing three silver needles at the red-clothed youth.
These three needles, being exceedingly small and thin, moved incredibly fast and were difficult to dodge.
However, their thinness also meant they couldn't possess much power.
Tian Lin guessed, however, that these needles were likely poisoned.
Sure enough, the red-clothed youth did not take it lightly.
He tore off his red cape, which became a dust whisk in his hand.
With a flick of his 'dust whisk,' he instantly swept away the silver needles.
"Shang Yu, it is unbecoming for a cultivator to resort to worldly society tricks. Watch how I defeat you fair and square!"
The red-clothed youth slapped the sword on his back, and it immediately hovered mid-air.
Suddenly, snowflakes began to fall from mid-air. Meanwhile, in front of the red-clothed youth, Shang Yu's movements began to slow down.
"It's Cangming Swordsmanship!"
On the high stage, Tian Lin spoke.
"Correct, this is Cangming Swordsmanship. With such a sword present, what can Shang Yu fight with? Unless Shang Yu also has a top-grade spell."
A voice rang out; Tian Lin turned his head, only to see a burly man speaking.
Tian Lin frowned, recalling a voice saying, "He's Xiao Mu, better known as Xiao Da."
Almost instantly, Tian Lin remembered someone named Xiao Lin, coincidentally the name of Xiao Da's brother.
However, as Tian Lin was no longer the sect leader of Baihua Peak, these brothers hadn't troubled him, so he quickly refocused his attention back to the arena.
Yet the scene in the arena had changed again.
"Do you think you can use talisman paper against me? Ridiculous. Have you forgotten the outcome of the first match, when Brother Jiang was defeated using talisman paper?"
The red-clothed cultivator, displaying Cangming Swordsmanship, sneered as he watched Shang Yu retrieving talisman paper from his Storage Bag.
Just as the red-clothed cultivator moved his hand to draw his sword and slash at Shang Yu, Shang Yu, initially slow, suddenly moved effectively.
"The effectiveness of talisman paper depends on the person using it. Has Brother forgotten, in the second match, Brother Qian overlooked a Magical Treasure and was counter-killed by Brother Zhao?"
While speaking, Shang Yu threw out eight pieces of talisman paper.
The eight talisman papers surrounded the red-clothed cultivator from eight directions.
As the talisman papers expanded dramatically in the wind, they created a wall of cloth.
Just as the red-clothed cultivator slashed through one of the 'cloth wall' sized papers, the other seven talismans burst into bright light simultaneously.
In an instant, the Thunder Talisman produced thunder, the Wind Talisman summoned wind, and the Fire Talisman unleashed fire, all converging on the red-clothed cultivator in the center.
"Stop!"
Almost as the talismans flashed, Elder Feng had already leapt into the air from the high stage.
But before Elder Feng could act, suddenly, three silver needles shot towards Elder Feng's back.
These three needles were the same ones Shang Yu used against the red-clothed cultivator, just swept away by the cape to an unknown direction.
Now, these three needles had circled back, suddenly targeting Elder Feng; their speed was so fast that those on the high stage, including Tian Lin, couldn't see clearly.
Thus, Tian Lin and the others were unaware of what had happened when they saw Elder Feng suddenly fly to save the red-clothed cultivator, only to abruptly turn back.
"Xing Tongtian?"
Elder Feng, holding the three silver needles, tossed them aside and furiously said, "You dare to ambush me?" He added, "You think these mere needles can ambush me?"
Then, from the summit of Moon Pond Mountain, the voice of Xing Tongtian said, "I dare not ambush Elder Feng, just reminding Elder Feng, the Life and Death Platform has its own rules, elders may not interfere."
Elder Feng glared furiously, glaring towards Shang Yu below the high stage.
Shang Yu smiled and saluted Elder Feng, saying, "Please announce the result, Elder Feng. Am I now an Inner Sect Disciple?"
Elder Feng looked past Shang Yu.
At this moment, behind Shang Yu all the talisman paper had turned to shreds, and beneath the pile of scraps, deep pits were scorched by the lightning and flame.
And the red-clothed cultivator had been completely turned to ash after the talismans activated.
"Shang Yu, you may become an Inner Sect Disciple."
Elder Feng returned his gaze from the disarrayed scene, turned his head, and added,
But when he opened his eyes again, his gaze had become more piercing. "Next, who else wishes to challenge for a position of Inner Sect Disciple?"
"Outer Peak Disciple Tian Lin from Baihua Peak also wishes to challenge for a position of Inner Sect Disciple."
Tian Lin stepped forward, Elder Feng looked at Tian Lin and asked, "Do you want to challenge Shang Yu?"
This Life and Death Platform duel, with Shang Yu suddenly challenging Brother Feng, prompted both Elder Feng and Xing Tongtian to take action.
Tian Lin did not know what Shang Yu was plotting, but he did not want to get involved, nor did he wish to seek revenge for Elder Feng.
What do you think?
