Chapter 16 The Names of the Four Geniuses
Three days passed in a flash.
The day for the battle with Yun Tianhe has finally arrived.
early morning.
After Ling Chen finished washing up and tidying up his clothes, he walked towards the martial arts arena in the training grounds.
The training ground was crowded and bustling with people. Almost most of the disciples were out. In addition, some important figures from the Wind Country also came here to watch the life-and-death duel between the two talented disciples of the Shenyi Sect.
Several important figures of the Shenyi Sect came to the high viewing platform. There were two purple-robed elders alone. One was the deputy sect leader Ye Nantian, and the other was Ziyun Zhenren. Ye Nantian was Yun Tianhe's master.
On the right of Ye Nantian was a middle-aged man in his early forties wearing a yellow robe. His yellow robe had six lifelike dragon patterns on it. He was a bit plump, and his every move carried an invisible deterrent force. It was obvious that he was a powerful figure in the secular world.
Those who were circling around the middle-aged man in yellow robe were all the heads of some martial arts families in the Kingdom of Wind.
"The disciples of Shenyi Sect are indeed extraordinary. They will be the backbone of the righteous martial arts world in the future."
Looking at Yun Tianhe standing on the stage, the middle-aged man in the yellow robe also said with a smile.
"Haha, Your Highness Prince Tai, you are too kind. What pillars of the martial arts world? How can they be compared with the geniuses of the royal family?"
Ye Nantian was obviously very pleased with what he said, but out of courtesy, he still remained humble.
If it was before, a prince of the Wind Country would not have bothered him, but now, he had to show some respect. The situation was no longer the same as before.
Zhenren Ziyun sat on the other side with an extremely cold expression and said nothing. If he hadn't kept his eyes open, others would have thought he was asleep.
"It is said that Yun Tianhe's opponent today is Ling Chen, who is known as the number one genius in the martial arts world. Today's battle will probably be a very exciting fight between dragons and tigers."
Prince Tai was invited by Ye Nantian to observe the battle. He represents the royal family of the Kingdom of Wind and his influence is not insignificant.
Moreover, even in the royal family, Prince Tai is a prominent figure second only to the Emperor of the Kingdom of Wind.
"A fight between dragons and tigers? I'm afraid the battle won't be as intense as imagined. The number one genius in the martial arts world has become a thing of the past." A sarcastic smile appeared on Ye Nantian's face.
"That may not be the case. It's too early to be happy. Be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot." At this time, Master Ziyun, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke and responded coldly.
"Haha, that depends on whether this kid has the ability to do so." Ye Nantian still sneered.
"The black market leader Qin Shan is here to pay us a visit!"
Just when the atmosphere was tense, suddenly, a loud voice rang out.
Everyone was startled, and then looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a dark mass in their sight. The strong men in the black market were all dressed in black, and Qin Shan was also wearing a loose black robe today, but his demeanor of a leader was not diminished at all.
Nowadays, the Shenyi Sect has to be cautious even when dealing with Prince Tai. As for the black market, it is an even bigger behemoth that even the Shenyi Sect leader Shentu Yan has to treat with caution.
"Mr. Qin Shan, I didn't expect that this small duel between disciples would alarm your Excellency." Prince Tai said with a smile, his expression obviously showing a hint of flattery.
Although the royal family controls all the forces in the Kingdom of Wind in the open, and the black market rules in the dark, the difference is that the black market exists in all five countries, and once they are combined, it will be a very terrifying force.
"Mr. Qin's visit really brings honor to our humble sect." Ye Nantian said with a smile.
Such an expression made Master Ziyun look disdainful. Although he personally did not like Ling Tianyu , when Ling Tianyu was alive, why should the people of Shenyi Sect flatter anyone?
"I want to see how talented this generation of Shenyi Sect is." Qin Shan said with a faint smile.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Ye Nantian smiled, obviously full of confidence in Yun Tianhe.
"I believe so." Qin Shan raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously, but did not say anything more. Instead, he looked towards the training ground. Except for Yun Tianhe, he did not see any trace of Ling Chen.
"That Ling Chen hasn't shown up yet?" Qin Shan was also a little surprised. On such an important day, that guy didn't show up on time. Was he too confident or lacking confidence?
"This is normal. Even if he doesn't show up today, it's not surprising. After all, today is a life-and-death battle."
Ye Nantian showed a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"he came."
As soon as Ye Nantian finished speaking, Qin Shan's gaze suddenly turned to the distance, where a young swordsman in white was walking towards him with a sword at his waist.
After being hit lightly on the face, Ye Nantian was a little angry, but the smile on his face did not fade. "I didn't expect this kid to have some courage, but courage alone can't help him escape his fate."
"How can Sect Master Ye know that he will lose? Let's just watch this duel carefully. There may be unexpected surprises."
Qin Shan said with a smile.
After these words were spoken, Ye Nantian and Prince Tai were somewhat suspicious. From the tone of his voice, it seemed that Qin Shan was standing on Ling Chen's side?
At this moment, Ling Chen had already arrived at the training ground. With a flash, he jumped onto the fighting stage.
"Yun Tianhe, come out and die!"
His eyes fell on Yun Tianhe, and Ling Chen suddenly shouted loudly.
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar. They had hardly ever heard of a disciple daring to say such words to Yun Tianhe.
"How could this rubbish be so rampant?"
Yun Tianhe clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. He was obviously very angry at Ling Chen's words, and he wanted to go on stage and kill Ling Chen right now.
"Brother Yun, don't be impulsive. We have an agreement."
Just when Yun Tianhe could hardly suppress his impulse, Zhao Wuxiu suddenly stepped forward and stopped him.
"Then you must also remember the terms of the agreement. I don't want to see this loser walk off the stage alive." Yun Tianhe said in a deep voice with a grim .
"Don't worry, he won't survive my knife."
A smile appeared on Zhao Wuxiu's lips, and then he leaped onto the fighting stage.
"Ling Chen, let me, Zhao Wuxiu, be your opponent."
After stepping onto the stage, Zhao Wuxiu stared at Ling Chen with fighting spirit in his eyes.
"You are no match for me, let Yun Tianhe come instead."
Ling Chen said calmly.
Wow!
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused an uproar.
“Haha, why jump to conclusions so early? Whether I am your opponent or not, we need to fight to know, right?” Zhao Wuxiu’s eyes were somewhat gloomy, and murderous intent towards Ling Chen surged in his heart.
This bastard actually had the audacity to look down on him.
"Yun Tianhe, you actually let someone else fight on your behalf. Are you afraid of fighting? If that's the case, there's no need to fight today." Ling Chen said, looking at Yun Tianhe below the stage.
"If you can defeat Junior Brother Zhao, I will naturally fight with you. Otherwise, you are not worthy to be my opponent." Yun Tianhe couldn't let Ling Chen go like this. Today he made up his mind to kill Ling Chen.
"That's right, Ling Chen, since you look down on me so much, why don't you accept my challenge, unless you think you are no match for me. Then give up your position as one of the four genius disciples and let me take your place." Zhao Wuxiu deliberately provoked him.
"The four genius disciples are just empty titles. Only fools would cling to empty titles. I have no interest in fighting with you. The title of genius disciple will be given to you." After saying that, Ling Chen walked directly off the stage.
"Who asked you to give in? You have to fight today, whether you want to or not." Zhao Wuxiu shouted, his body shot straight out, and slashed at Ling Chen with a knife.
