Chapter 1489 A Belated Act

“What?!”

“Zhang Yumeng, the No.1 martial artist in the east, is here?”

“Where is she? I heard that she is a beauty.”

Many disciples flew into the air in succession.

They looked around and found that Hun Xuan was the only one.

After she finished speaking, her voice shook, and even many protectors and elders heard it. They shook their heads with a smile.

A challenge between the sect disciples was quite normal.

Atop a mountain peak.

“Eldest Brother, that wench has come to challenge you.”

There were more than a dozen disciples in front of Ge Xiliu, and one of them said in a dissatisfied tone, “She’s too arrogant. She came to our western region only a few days after she became the No.1 in the east.”

“Heh.” Ge Xiliu rubbed his chin and smiled faintly.

It seemed that he didn’t care.

One of his core subordinates said, “Two hours ago, Hun Xuan communicated with Eldest Brother, and he agreed. I just didn’t expect that Hun Xuan would be so straightforward as to directly announce this matter.”

“Eldest Brother agreed earlier?” Some disciples reacted swiftly, and they cupped their hands and said with a smile, “Congratulations, Eldest Brother.”

“Why are you congratulating me?” Ge Xiliu asked.

“Congratulations on having your reputation shake the world after defeating Zhang Yumeng as the number one person in the west of the south coast.” The man explained.

“Haha.” Ge Xiliu revealed a faint smile.

“Of course, Eldest Brother would definitely not agree if he wasn’t sure that he would win.”

Ge Xiliu continued smiling.

“In three days, we’ll cheer for Eldest Brother. I’m so excited just thinking about him shining brilliantly on Able River Peak.”

Ge Xiliu said, “I’m also excited just thinking about it.”

Just as everyone was laughing, Ge Xiliu cleared his throat. “You guys are still too young.”

“Why?”

“Sometimes, as an outstanding disciple of the sect, if you don’t accept the challenge from another talent, you will be too cowardly,” Ge Xiliu said slowly. “It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. The most important thing is to participate and experience the vicissitudes of life. Sometimes, losing one or two rounds is also a good thing for you, understand? Failure is the mother of success. If you don’t lose, you won’t know your shortcomings at all. We need to live with this mentality.”

One of the junior brothers hesitated and said, “Eldest Brother, didn’t you say last time that you will only be truly powerful when you win all the time and create invincible glory?”

“Did I say that last time? When did I say that? Did you hear me wrong?” Ge Xiliu’s eyes widened.

Everyone finally realized that their Eldest Brother, Ge Xiliu, was not at all confident and thought that he would lose.

“Eldest Brother, what do you think your chances of winning are?”

“Haha.” Ge Xiliu smiled faintly and said, “That should be at least 30%… 20%… No, at least a 10% chance of winning.”

Poof!

The people around were stunned.

“Such a low chance of victory?”

“Do you think Zhang Yumeng took the first place in the east casually?” Ge Xiliu said with a serious look, “I watched the battle from a distance that day. She is very strong and terrifying.”

In the past, Ge Xiliu wanted to challenge Hun Shang, but Hun Shang didn’t agree. He lost to a talented disciple of the Heavenly Evil Sect in the First War Zone, and that disciple was seriously injured and defeated by Hun Shang within three moves. Ge Xiliu knew who was stronger.

Ge Xiliu was depressed. “Zhang Yumeng can suppress Hun Shang. Now that she has forced him to flee, how can I be a match for her? Although I’m very likely to lose, it’s not impossible for me to win. My illusions are much more powerful than before.”

However, on the other side.

Zhang Han sat in front of Mengmeng and said with a smile, “Daughter, you’ve mastered some illusions, but you’re not very proficient in them, especially in battles. I’ve summarized a set of practice and application methods according to the illusions you’ve mastered. Let me tell you…”

Zhang Han had taught Mengmeng almost all the best things.

The comprehensive teaching of illusions, the array of formations, pellet refining, incantations, and so on had already begun long ago.

The frequency of lecturing was not high, but Mengmeng had a grasp of every subject.

Her array skill was relatively poor, and her pellet refining skill was the best. Her illusions and incantations were also acceptable.

With Mengmeng’s stunning learning ability, she made rapid progress. It was just that the little girl was quite lazy. After cultivating for a while, she would take a rest for a few days.

After all, she had to enjoy life.

This time, many disciples from the east and west sides of the south coast were excited.

It was a battle between east and west.

Who would be superior?

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Able River Peak was in an uproar.

There were more spectators than the last time.

“Hahaha!”

Zhang Han’s group was standing on the nearest mountain peak. There were not many of them, but their status was not low.

Suddenly, a peal of laughter came from a distance.

They saw Headmaster Shan flying over quickly.

“I thought I would never see you again.” Headmaster Shan looked relaxed. “I almost had an accident in the war zone this time. Fortunately, I came back safely.”

...

“Greetings, Headmaster Shan.” The crowd greeted him.

“You came at the right time.” Zi Yan smiled and said, “The duel is about to start.”

Without exchanging too many courtesies, Headmaster Shan said with emotion, “Like father, like daughter. Mengmeng is really amazing.”

“You can praise me when I win,” Mengmeng said.

Headmaster Shan smiled and said, “You’re so confident.”

Mengmeng did not respond. She gently tapped on the ground and flew to the Able River Peak.

At this moment, everyone was watching.

“Zhang Yumeng!” Many people shouted in unison.

Headmaster Shan shook his head repeatedly when he saw this.

“By the way, you’ve been back to the Heavenly Dragon Star Province, right? How is the situation there?” Headmaster Shan asked.

“Everything’s alright. After the last incident, there were only a few people left, and the connection with the Astral Domain was interrupted. Nothing else has changed. The Dragnet Academy is still the same as before.”

...

“That’s nice…”

While they were chatting.

Suddenly, a man flew to Able River Peak.

It was Ge Xiliu.

“Ge Xiliu, the No.1 in the west, is here.”

A good show was about to begin.

Ge Xiliu had arrived. He looked at Mengmeng from afar and said, “She’s more beautiful than they said. I almost can’t bear to make a move.”

As soon as he finished speaking, many people around were stunned.

Hun Xuan said in a cold voice in a corner, “Brother, he is trying to steal my future sister-in-law.”

“Alas!”

Hun Shang sighed and said tiredly, “Don’t make trouble. Zhang Yumeng is extraordinary. Especially the people behind her, I can’t see through them. I have a vague feeling that there are a few very terrifying people.”

“If she has a powerful background, then so be it. You’re also very outstanding, brother.” Hun Xuan retorted.

Hun Shang shook his head slightly and said, “I’m not considering those things while I haven’t taken revenge. Zhang Yumeng is not suitable for me. She is too immortal, just like an illusion. I’m just a mortal.”

Hun Xuan was speechless for a moment.

“What kind of excuse is that?”

However, she only had a few thoughts in this regard. She wanted to get Hun Shang a partner so that he could let go of his worries. Otherwise, it would not be good for him to keep suppressing himself all the time.

The heated discussion did not affect the two people who were about to start fighting.

A long sword appeared in Mengmeng’s right hand. “Cut the crap. Let’s start.”

“Hahaha, I am not a pushover!”

While Ge Xiliu was laughing, he drew the sword from his waist, slashed horizontally, and performed an occult art.

Clatter!

The pale purple ring-shaped sword light appeared in the void.

“It’s Eldest Brother’s Purple Ring Sword Slash!”

“It is said that when the Purple Ring Sword Slash is practiced to a certain point, a wisp of Sword Qi it creates can split a mountain.”

The light purple ring-shaped sword light, which was more than 100 feet long, rushed toward Mengmeng with terrifying power.

When Hun Shang saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he lamented.

“I didn’t expect Ge Xiliu to have mastered the Purple Ring Sword Slash. With just this one move, he is almost invincible among those at the God Transformation Realm Peak Stage.”

Hun Xuan also looked shocked.

In the vast Ling Sea Sword Sect, there were only a few young disciples who could perform this sword move.

“Slash!”

Ge Xiliu immediately went all out and attacked Zhang Han with all his strength. It made him look like he was about to explode with anger. His eyes lit up and he quickly flew toward Mengmeng with the sword light.

Seeing this, many elders and protectors shook their heads and said, “Among the younger generation of the south coast, except for Heavenly Hound, Hun Shang, and three other powerful figures, there probably aren’t many who can stop this sword move from Ge Xiliu.”

Upon hearing this, many people nodded repeatedly.

“Ge Xiliu has used the Purple Ring Sword Slash from the very beginning. It seems he is determined to win.”

“Senior Brother Ge will definitely win!”

Countless people from the west of the south coast thought that their senior brother Ge Xiliu would win.

But on the other side.

Zhang Han calmly said, “This sword move is not bad. It has artistic conceptions and mysteries, but it’s still too immature. Eh?”

While speaking, Zhang Han suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise and praised, “Ge Xiliu is quite smart. This sword move should be one of his trump cards. He directly performs it and combines it with his illusions. It’s a good move.”

“Will Mengmeng lose in illusions?” Headmaster Shan said with some worry, “He attacks so frequently that it’s easy for her to be fooled.”

Zhang Han shook his head and said, “She won’t?”

“Why is that?” Headmaster Shan was stunned.

Zhang Han said softly, “My daughter has also mastered illusions, and she is better than him.”

Headmaster Shan was speechless.

Mengmeng used to be in the Illusions Department’s class when she was in the Dragnet Academy. Moreover, Zhang Han, the Merciless Man who ranked first on the eight lists, taught her every day.

Under everyone’s gaze.

“Break!”

Mengmeng’s right hand slapped forward.

Clatter!

The ten-foot-tall giant flaming palm whistled forward.

It took Mengmeng three days to break through to the God Transformation Realm Middle Stage to completely control her power.

She had defeated Hun Shang before, but now, she was facing Ge Xiliu, who was really at the Peak Stage of the God Transformation Realm.

The giant flaming palm struck out, and its oppressive might spread.

Ge Xiliu’s face changed.

“Shit! How am I supposed to deal with this?

“As expected, this woman is incredibly powerful.”

“Illusions!”

Ge Xiliu, who had been planning this for a long time, finally performed his illusions.

These two moves were moves that he had already thought of. He directly used them. Whether he got to win or not didn’t matter to him that much.

If he couldn’t defeat Mengmeng with his two trump cards, then he might not be able to defeat her with the other moves. Since he wasn’t in his territory, he had to keep some sort of life-saving means with him, and it wasn’t a private battle. There were spies from the other sects in the Sword Sect.

Under Mengmeng’s gaze, Ge Xiliu’s expression was different from reality. He was yelling, “I admit defeat! I yield!”

“Hmm?”

Mengmeng was stunned and felt that something was wrong. She sensed carefully and smiled faintly.

“Oh, it’s illusions.”

“Oh my god!”

While retreating rapidly, Ge Xiliu was about to use his skills, but he didn’t expect that the other party could directly see through the illusion.

“Your illusions are so weak.”

Mengmeng tilted her head slightly and smiled.

It was very enchanting, amazing, and beautiful.

Ge Xiliu froze for a second.

But the next second, Mengmeng’s facial features suddenly changed.

She looked like a ghost crawling out of the well with her long hair covering her face and her facial features bleeding.

In a flash, she appeared in front of Ge Xiliu, only a dozen centimeters away.

“Hic!”

The huge contrast almost made Ge Xiliu faint.

“Oh my god…”

Ge Xiliu roared in shock.

Under the attention of tens of thousands of people, he transformed into a stream of light and fled into the distance.

The whole place was silent.

In the silence, a cold snort was heard.

It came from the Peak Master of the peak Ge Xiliu had joined.

He said with a sullen face, “Hun Shang fled into the clouds before, and Ge Xiliu fell into the Western Mountain now. Since when did the talented disciples begin to escape from a duel so casually? This is a spar, not a life-and-death battle. How could he flee?”

With that, he left with a cold face.

He felt that Ge Xiliu had been defeated in a pathetic way.

Hun Shang’s gaze froze when he heard this.

Hun Xuan added with a smile, “Hun Shang escaped into the clouds, and Ge Xiliu fell into the Western Mountain. It’s gold.”

Hun Shang said, “I was retreating strategically. If I get serious, she may not be able to defeat me.”

If those words were heard by Ge Xiliu, he would also say, “I’m only retreating strategically as well. This is only your belated action!”

“…”
