Chapter 560: Chapter 551: Did Yang Zhiyuan Send You?

"Thank you, Elder Xie!"

Eventually, Mo Wangchen bowed with clasped hands and took his leave.

After exiting the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion, he headed towards Lingdong Peak.

Suddenly, a person stood in his way not far ahead.

This was a young man whose brows revealed a brimming sense of bravery, standing firmly like a sharp sword.

It wasn’t hard for Mo Wangchen to discern that this person was definitely a Swordsman and that his Swordsmanship was remarkable.

However, for reasons unknown, the other’s gaze remained fixed on him, with flickers of Sword Light in his eyes, signifying a will to fight.

"Mo Wangchen?"

As he approached the youth, intending to walk around him, suddenly, the young man spoke.

"Is there something you want?"

Mo Wangchen frowned slightly, stopped in his tracks, and looked at the other person.

"I have heard that your Swordsmanship is quite good, dare you battle with me?" The young man’s words carried an underlying chill, as piercing as a sword, seemingly innate.

"This is nonsensical!"

Mo Wangchen frowned. He didn’t wish to entertain the other person. Although the man’s Swordsmanship might be extraordinary, his Cultivation was not strong—at most, he was at the ninth heaven of the Saint Venerable Realm.

There was no way he could be Mo Wangchen’s opponent.

It wasn’t the case that Mo Wangchen would accept a challenge from just anyone; he simply did not have the spare time to bother with this.

Seeing that Mo Wangchen was about to sidestep and leave, the young man’s eyebrows knitted together, and with a sneer, he said, "Without using the Law Phenomenon, just by relying on Swordsmanship to fight with me, do you dare?"

"What’s going on here?"

"Eh? Isn’t that Mo Wangchen? What’s he doing here?"

On this plaza, many disciples had gathered, and now many of them noticed the scene here, looking over with curiosity.

"The person across from Mo Wangchen, isn’t that Fu Jingyan from Heavenly Pillar Peak?"

"Even though Fu Jingyan is only of the ninth heaven in the Saint Venerable Realm, he has some reputation on Heavenly Pillar Peak, especially because his Swordsmanship is decent."

"What’s going on? Fu Jingyan is challenging Mo Wangchen? Without using the Law Phenomenon?"

More and more people paid attention to this scene, gathering around and discussing among themselves.

"You’re from Heavenly Pillar Peak?"

Hearing the discussions of the surrounding crowd, Mo Wangchen looked at Fu Jingyan again and then suddenly said, "Was it Yang Zhiyuan who sent you?"

"Fu Jingyan challenging Mo Wangchen, is it Yang Zhiyuan who sent him?"

"There had been rumors recently that Mo Wangchen had once crossed swords with Yang Zhiyuan. I wonder what the outcome was, but this Fu Jingyan, he indeed has a very close relationship with Yang Zhiyuan, being one of his capable aides. It’s highly possible that he was sent by Yang Zhiyuan."

"Even Lu Ziyu, the second senior brother from Holy Yang Peak, was not Mo Wangchen’s match. What is Yang Zhiyuan thinking by sending Fu Jingyan here?" Many were puzzled.

The duel between Lu Ziyu and Mo Wangchen seemed to have just happened not long ago, and the sect was still discussing it. Fu Jingyan with only ninth heaven of the Saint Venerable Realm Cultivation challenging Mo Wangchen—why did it feel like a joke?

"Didn’t you hear Fu Jingyan say it? Without using the Law Phenomenon, only relying on Swordsmanship? It seems he is very confident in his Sword Dao."

"Indeed, his Swordsmanship is certainly not weak. The Qijian Peak Master specializes in Sword Dao, and not many peers could be his match. It’s quite a pity that he joined Heavenly Pillar Peak instead of Qijian Peak."

"Rumor has it that Mo Wangchen has comprehended Sword Intent. Even without using the Law Phenomenon, how could Fu Jingyan be in the same league as him?"

"That’s not necessarily the case," the crowd around mused. "After all, Mo Wangchen’s cultivation seems to be only at the eighth layer of the Saint Venerable Realm, one minor realm below Fu Jingyan. Without invoking the Law Phenomenon, perhaps he may truly be no match for Fu Jingyan."

The people around were buzzing with conversation, indeed, they were eager to know just how powerful Mo Wangchen could be without using the Law Phenomenon.

"Whether Senior Brother Yang sent me is not important. I’m just asking if you dare to accept the challenge," Fu Jingyan said, looking at Mo Wangchen with a forthright expression.

Mo Wangchen laughed, "It’s not about whether I dare or not, but whether it’s meaningful or not."

"What do you mean by ’meaningful’?" Fu Jingyan frowned.

"Well, disciples at Lingdong Peak are scarce, and it happens that I could use someone to guard the gate at the entrance of my courtyard. If you lose to me, you’ll guard my gate for me. How about that?" Mo Wangchen said with a smile.

"Guard your gate?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Jingyan’s expression slightly darkened. Being a recognized talent of Heavenly Pillar Peak, Mo Wangchen’s proposition was undoubtedly an insult to him.

"If you are confident in your swordsmanship, why would you fear such a wager?" Mo Wangchen spoke calmly.

"And what if I win?" Fu Jingyan squinted his eyes.

Mo Wangchen chuckled; this youngster really was confident. "If you win, I will guard your gate in return."

"Although Lingdong Peak is not impressive, you at least are the Senior Disciple. Guarding my gate wouldn’t be a bad thing," Fu Jingyan said with a cold smile. With a flick of his palm in the void, suddenly a long sword materialized in his grasp.

"We’ll see if you truly have that ability," Mo Wangchen said with a slight smile, maintaining a composed demeanor from beginning to end.

As the conversation ended, he stepped back several paces and looked at Fu Jingyan, "My sword is an Ancient Emperor Weapon; I’d rather not bring it out, lest I’m accused of bullying you later. I’ll use my finger as a sword and spar with you."

At those words, the crowd was slightly taken aback, feeling as if Mo Wangchen was flaunting something.

Emperor Weapons, while not too rare in the Heavenly Gang, came in various levels of rarity. Ancient Emperor Weapons were clearly much rarer and not something just anyone could possess.

"Using your finger as a sword?"

Fu Jingyan let out a cold huff, "I want to see just how capable you really are!"

No sooner had he spoken than a glint burst forth from his eyes like two beams of sword light capable of piercing through one’s heart. The next moment, the long sword in his hand trembled slightly and thrust through the air.

Hum!

The point of the sword vibrated the void slightly; terrifying sword light shot forth and overwhelming sword pressure instantly pervaded the arena, making it hard for anyone to breathe.

Crack!

However, before Fu Jingyan’s attack neared, Mo Wangchen brought two fingers together and drew them lightly across the void. The next moment, the slash of sword light crumbled and dissipated into nothing.

Whoosh!

Then, with a stomp of his foot, Fu Jingyan’s figure vanished from where he stood, turning into a black shadow that swiftly streaked toward Mo Wangchen.

In his hand, the long sword trembled, emitting waves of sword sound, with an intense and formidable aura rolling fiercely, and a sword thrust directly at Mo Wangchen’s chest.

"Such incredible speed!"

The crowd all showed surprise on their faces. Fu Jingyan’s speed was exceptionally fast, exceeding what one at the ninth layer of the Saint Venerable Realm should be able to achieve.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Mo Wangchen, the long sword piercing through his opponent’s chest.

However, it was only an afterimage. After Fu Jingyan pierced it, the afterimage gradually dissipated. Unbeknownst when, Mo Wangchen had already moved behind Fu Jingyan.

"I’m right here,"

he said with a light smile, turning to his opponent.
