Chapter 127 The King, There is No Need to Explain Actions to Anyone!
sima yang stood with his sword, snorting, "out of respect for you being a grandmaster, i am reluctant to kill you just yet. do you dare sign a battle challenge letter, a life-and-death contract with me?"
sima zhantian's entire body exuded a resolute fighting spirit, but he didn't immediately respond, turning his head to look at ye feng instead.
"my lord, grant your subordinate permission to fight and chop off this mongrel's head!"
"granted!" ye feng slammed his chopsticks down on the table.
"very well!"
sima yang laughed, then turned his head to moo xilin and said loudly, "go and relay my message, please inform the other commanders of the southern territory to assemble at the training ground. i want them to witness a great spectacle!"
in fact, this was sima yang's intention. upon entering, he had deliberately ignored ye feng's identity as the northern border king, acting as if he was unaware. thus, the northern border king naturally could not charge him with the crime of disrespect, at most it would be a matter of ignorance.
once the two parties signed the battle challenge letter, the fight to the death would become justifiable!
after that, as long as he defeated or even killed his opponent, he would have regained his standing.
"i will relay the message at once!" moo xilin immediately clasped his hands and then withdrew.
"since that is the case, i shall wait for you at the training ground. i hope you won't be cowards, but of course, if you wish not to come, i have always been magnanimous and will not hold it against you!"
with a grand gesture, sima yang swiftly turned and departed.
ye feng watched him leave, his face devoid of any expression. a mere talented swordsman wasn't even worth his concern; what slightly caught his interest was the heng mountain sword sect behind the man.
the heng mountain sword sect had a long history and, despite its decline in the last century, had been growing considerably more powerful in recent years with the hengling domain lord's leadership, gaining significant prestige in the southern territory as many disciples entered the military.
ye feng knew clearly that if he were to perish sima yang, neither the heng mountain sword sect nor the hengling domain lord would let the matter rest.
of course, none of these concerned ye feng, the northern border king, too deeply.
sima yang, however, was quite pleased with himself, his lips curving up irresistibly. if he won today's battle, not only would he be able to get justice for his junior brother, but he would also greatly boost his own reputation in the southern territory.
"looks like everyone is almost here, let's begin over there!"
sima yang immediately stepped forward three paces, then subtly gestured towards an elder.
understanding the cue, the elder picked up an agreement from the desk and announced loudly, "both parties have agreed to a competitive match, but swords and sabers have no eyes. this is a life and death contract. once signed, each is responsible for their own life or death!"
sima yang immediately waved his hand toward sima zhantian and said, "please!"
without saying another word, sima zhantian dragged his tall frame over briskly and quickly signed his name and pressed his hand seal on it, followed by sima yang doing the same.
"with that, the duel begins. to the arena!" the elder declared and swiftly moved to the side.
"i hear you are from the northern border, aren't you? i hope you don't disappoint me too much next, or else if word of this gets back to the southern territory, i'm afraid the flag leaders there won't be able to save face!"
sima yang let out a loud laugh, lightly tapped his foot, and his whole body soared up, reaching the arena in a blink of an eye.
without a word, sima zhantian charged forward.
ye feng's expression remained indifferent throughout; with keen eyesight, he could clearly see that sima yang had just entered the huajin grandmaster realm and that even the qi force within his body hadn't fully reached a divine state.
more importantly, sima yang was a chief instructor, a person who had always taught others, never having been on the battlefield. people like that simply couldn't compare to someone like sima zhantian, who was a great commander seasoned by countless battles.
moreover, sima zhantian himself was a profound huajin master, whose qi force had long since achieved divinity!
"three moves, i only need three moves to chop off your dog head!" sima zhantian gripped the saber, his whole being exuding deadly energy.
"ignorant braggart, you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me, it's simply seeking death!" sima yang flicked his wrist, and the azure jian sword in his hand immediately began to produce a series of sword flowers.
"meet your end!" sima zhantian raised his saber and lunged forward like a ferocious tiger, indeed a sight of vigorous might.
