Facing Wen Zihao’s inquiry, Li Xuanyi stepped forward two paces and raised his hand, pointing at Ye Yu: “I refuse to draw lots. I want to challenge him directly!”
Hearing this, Huangfu Jin, Sect Leader of Zhutianfang, and Pei Chuxia on the stands both frowned.
Is it really true that what you fear comes to you?
Wen Zihao’s face showed a mix of anger and restraint.
“Whose disciple is this exactly?
First injuring someone from Kunsen Palace, and now directly demanding a challenge?
Does he really think this place belongs to him?”
Wen Zihao was about to reprimand him, but suddenly Tang Sha’s voice transmitted into his mind.
The two exchanged glances.
Within just a few breaths,
Tang Sha offered a price he could not refuse.
His original anger softened somewhat.
So his tone shifted: “Challenging someone in the sect competition is not without precedent.
But the premise is that both parties must agree.
Do you think he will agree to your challenge?”
For a moment, all eyes gathered on Ye Yu.
The term ‘challenge’ was rare.
Usually, only two enemies who happened to meet in the sect competition would use this method to fight.
It was a do-or-die situation, and the opponent’s sect could seek revenge without reason.
It was both safe and convenient.
Huangfu Jin and Pei Chuxia immediately transmitted to Ye Yu: ‘Reject him, reject him immediately!’
Ignoring their advice, Ye Yu stepped forward slowly.
With a smile, he said, “I accept his challenge.”
At these words, the sect leaders on the stands immediately showed amused smiles.
They hadn’t expected a challenge right as the top twenty began.
They hoped these two young disciples would bring an exciting fight!
Huangfu Jin recalled Tang Sha’s words from last night, his face turned pale as he muttered, “How could he agree to this?”
Pei Chuxia clenched her fists tightly, a cold chill rising in her heart.
She hurriedly said, “Sect Leader, please negotiate with the Kunsen Palace Master immediately to stop this match. We, Zhutianfang, withdraw from the sect competition!”
Hearing this, Huangfu Jin immediately transmitted to Wen Zihao: “Please stop this match. We apply to withdraw and give up ranking in this ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) sect competition!”
Wen Zihao frowned slightly.
“Sect Leader Huangfu, you should know the rules of the sect competition.
Once both sides agree to a challenge, even your own sect cannot intervene.
So don’t waste your effort.
To be honest, I’d rather your sect’s disciple kill this kid.
He’s too arrogant!”
After being refused, Huangfu Jin did not continue to argue.
Instead, he secretly decided: since the challenge could not be changed, they would wait and see.
If Ye Yu was truly in danger, he would certainly step in to save him.
Even if he ended up blamed by all!
Pei Chuxia had the same plan in her heart.
Meanwhile,
After Ye Yu and Li Xuanyi confirmed the challenge,
The other sect disciples slowly left the trial stage, leaving the space to them.
Around them, Kunsen Palace disciples formed Dao seals with both hands, beginning to raise a barrier formation.
This was to prevent spell effects during the fight from affecting the sect leaders in the stands.
In this way, the arena itself was also protected.
When all was ready,
Li Xuanyi showed a bloodthirsty smile.
“I already gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it. That’s your problem now.
Even if you beg now, I won’t spare you!”
Listening to his rambling nonsense,
Ye Yu wasn’t even interested in responding.
He flipped his right hand and wrote two talismans, then threw them out.
Seeing this, Li Xuanyi did not dodge but came straight forward.
At the moment the talismans were about to touch him,
A black barrier appeared before him,
Completely blocking the two talismans.
Surprisingly, these talismans neither burned nor emitted any light.
Curious, Li Xuanyi looked closely and suddenly discovered both talismans had the same phrase written:
‘I am your ancestor!’
This immediately made Li Xuanyi furious.
He withdrew the barrier at once, grabbed the two talismans, and prepared to tear them apart.
At that moment,
Ye Yu’s mouth curled slightly, raising a sword finger before him.
In an instant, intricate magic runes appeared on the talismans out of thin air.
Then dazzling light burst forth.
Boom!
Countless thunderclaps exploded instantly,
Shaking the area within a thousand miles.
The barriers raised by Kunsen Palace disciples didn’t even last a breath before shattering.
Kunsen Palace Master Wen Zihao immediately sat upright.
This level of power almost rivaled an ordinary Heavenly Demon Realm cultivator.
Where on earth did that old Huangfu find such a talented demon?
With this power, why would he give up the challenge?
But this was fine.
Killing that Li demon would also vent some anger for their disciples.
Wait, no!
He’s not dead?
As the smoke cleared,
Li Xuanyi appeared in everyone’s sight.
His figure was extremely battered.
His entire right arm was completely blasted away.
His robes were tattered.
But surviving such a thunder strike was something no one expected.
Li Xuanyi’s face twisted in pain.
He slammed his remaining left hand hard on his chest and spat a mouthful of fresh blood.
But the blood did not fall to the ground; instead, it slowly floated onto his shoulder.
And began to spread and grow.
In just a few breaths, a new arm regenerated.
Such a bizarre scene made Ye Yu raise his eyebrows slightly.
A demon who can regenerate severed limbs?
Could it be that this kid is also a type of Blood Demon?
Li Xuanyi grinned ferociously: “As expected, I was not wrong about you. You are no ordinary person!
I originally thought this sect competition would be boring, but now it seems I can fight to my heart’s content!”
Then he took out a completely black pipa from his storage ring.
Honestly, with his build, pulling out such an item looked very awkward.
But the moment it appeared, an extremely dense demonic aura immediately swept the entire arena.
