Chapter 870: You Know Him?

Chapter 870: You Know Him?

"Don't think you've won yet! I am just getting started!" Bai Enjue shouted as he got back to his feet and closed their distance again.

"You're also not the only one who can use Sword Aura!"

Bai Enjue swung his sword that carried Sword Aura this time. However, it was clear that his Sword Aura was nowhere near as powerful and refined as Yuan's Sword Aura.

Yuan didn't say anything and proceeded to block all of Bai Enjue's attacks with ease.

"What should we do? At this rate, our reputation will…"

"Is there even anything we can do at this point? If we attack him at once, that would be akin to admitting our defeat— that we cannot defeat him by ourselves."

"Who here thinks they can defeat him?"

The Sect Masters talked amongst themselves as Yuan and Bai Enjue fought each other.

"Regardless if we defeat him or not today, our reputation has already suffered irreparable damage." Sect Master Li sighed in a dispirited manner.

"So you're saying we should just gang up on him and finish this?" One of them asked.

Sect Master Li narrowed his eyes at Yuan, who was casually fighting Bai Enjue, even looking like he was fooling around.

"I'm not so sure that we would be able to defeat him even if all seven of us fought him together."

"What?! Are you seriously saying that?"

Sect Master Li nodded with a serious expression, "This person must be the one she wants to surpass. His abilities are truly incomprehensible and unfathomable."

"However, as the Sect Masters of the Seven Spirit Academies, we cannot simply run away in such a situation, or we would become laughingstocks. Even if we lose our faces, we must take him down."

The other Sect Masters silently nodded their heads.

Bang!

"Ah!"

Bai Enjue suddenly screamed, causing the other Sect Masters to turn their heads.

"Sect Master Bai! Are you okay?!" Sect Master Xaihou shouted in a concerned voice after seeing the blood flowing from his mouth.

"Y-Yes… This is nothing…" He said in a mumbling voice.

The Sect Masters suddenly approached them and surrounded Yuan.

"Oh?" Yuan stopped his movements and looked at the Sect Masters around him with a calm expression on his face.

"I told you guys to fight me together at the beginning, but you didn't want to listen. Now it looks like I am bullying you guys." Yuan smiled at their frowning faces.If you want to read more chapters, visit pa nda-novel,c.o,m

"Are you really a Spirit Lord? Or are you hiding your real cultivation?" Sect Master Li suddenly asked him.

"Of course this is my real cultivation. I don't even know how to hide my cultivation." Yuan casually shrugged.

"Then let me ask you another question… Why are you doing this? I don't believe that you came all the way here just to save your friend. You actually came here with the intentions to fight us, didn't you?"

"I will be lying if I say that I am not enjoying our fight. However, I am not that bored to come here just to fight. I truly came here with the intentions to save my friend, but I got a little angry when I saw the state of my friend, so I wanted to punish you all a little."

"If you want, we can stop this nonsense right now. Of course, that means you will forfeit the challenge and forgive my friend."

Sect Master Li snorted and said, "This is no longer about the challenge. You came here and made a mockery out of us. Our reputation took a massive hit because of you and your friend. When someone slaps you in the face, it is only natural you kill them."

Yuan sighed, "Is that so? What a pity."

He suddenly lifted his sword and pointed it at them, "Don't worry, I won't kill any of you, but expect to lose a limb or two today."

The Sect Masters didn't say anything and took out their weapons and treasures.

"Kill him!" Sect Master Li suddenly shouted in a resolved voice.

"HALT!"

A deafening voice suddenly resounded, immediately stopping their movements.

"This voice… Senior Nie?" Sect Master Li recognized his voice the moment he heard it.

Indeed, it was Senior Nie, and he could be seen coming out of a portal with an exhausted look on his face.

"Enough of this! All of you! Stop!"

Without any hesitation, Senior Nie walked right past the Sect Masters and stood beside Yuan.

"What are you doing, Senior Nie?" Sun Hao asked him.

"I am trying to stop this farce before someone actually dies. What do you think will happen to the Seven Spirit Academies if multiple Sect Masters suddenly die?"

"You actually think we'll lose to that brat, Senior Nie?"

"It's not about losing or winning. If you continue to fight him, one or more of you will certainly die. Even if you manage to defeat him in the end, it will be at the cost of some of your lives, and that is not worth it." Senior Nie said.

And he turned to look at Yuan with a perplexed face, as he wasn't sure what to say to Yuan at this moment.

Before Senior Nie could say anything, Yuan smiled and said, "I am not an unreasonable person. If they agree to stop, I won't pursue this matter any longer."

"Thank you, Yuan." Senior Nie nodded.

"W-Wait… Senior Nie… You know him?" Sect Master Xiahou stared at him with her eyes wide as saucers.

"Of course." Senior Nie nodded, and he continued, "In fact, I met him not long ago when I went down to the Lower Heavens to oversee the Mystic Realm. Do you remember that genius I mentioned about after I returned? The one who refused to join us? That's him."

The Sect Masters there stared at Yuan with baffled faces after realizing Yuan's identity, but none of them wanted to believe it.

'He's that prodigy who was rumored to have opened the Mystic Pagoda?!?!' Sect Master Li cried inwardly.
