This who knew Tian Fu were aware. Tian Fu was different on the inside. He looked honest, but his heart was sinister! Countless people had been deceived by his appearance.
“Don’t say that. If you lose, I will definitely lose too. If the Holy Land will lose face won’t the Holy Lord beat us to death when we return!” Jiang Chen looked frightened, appearing somewhat flustered.
But most people knew that this was just an act. Seemingly panicked, but his eyes were calm, even with a hint of amusement.
“That’s not acceptable! If I lose, the Holy Lord will only punish me!”
“Had I known, I wouldn’t have come today; it’s a trap!” Tian Fu wailed.
“It’s alright, I will plead with the master for you!” Jiang Chen consoled him, then looked at Taigu and said lightly, “So, heir of the Forbidden Zone, do you want to give it a try?”
“Ninth level Saint King, completely fits your criteria!”
“Besides, the age difference between you and him is about the same as between you and me. If you can defeat him, you can easily defeat anyone in the Nine Heavens Realm!”
“Or are you scared?” Jiang Chen said with a smile, full of sarcasm.
Taigu’s face darkened, his eyes filled with anger, but he was very apprehensive as he knew his own limitations.
He could barely handle some Saint Kings from small forces, but against Tian Fu, his chances were slim. If he fought, he would definitely lose!
“I will fight him at the same realm!” Taigu’s face sank, and he said in a deep voice.
A wave of exclamations erupted like a torrent and everyone looked at Taigu in disbelief. This guy actually copied the Primordial Holy Son’s trick?
“If it’s a fight in the same realm, then I’ll do it!” Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
Boundless pressure swept over like a flood, enveloping the entire sky with an intense sense of oppression and everyone felt a suffocating pressure.
Even Taigu was not spared. He widened his eyes, looking at Jiang Chen in disbelief and his heart was in turmoil.
Facing Jiang Chen, he felt a sense of fear and this was despite being a level higher. If they were at the same level, he would surely not be a match for Jiang Chen.
“Just kidding, how can I be as shameless as you! Let him do it! So what if he is a Saint King?” Taigu forced himself to maintain his dignity, saying disdainfully, “A mere Saint King, I can suppress him with one hand.”
Still being stubborn?
The crowd couldn’t help but curse quietly. They could all see that Taigu was definitely scared just now.
“The Primordial Holy Son has become stronger again! I felt a sense of oppression from him!”
“If it’s a fight at the same realm, Taigu will surely lose miserably!” Qin Ruhu said seriously, with a solemn expression.
Through the recent pressure, even he felt a sense of oppression, let alone Taigu. The Primordial Holy Son was becoming more monstrous.
Although he seemed to be at the quasi-saint realm, his aura was comparable to that of a Saint.
“It’s not surprising that the Primordial Holy Son is monstrous. But Taigu seems like an embroidered pillow; he already backed down just from feeling the aura.”
“This mindset is mediocre, not like an heir from a place like the Forbidden Zone! This guy’s mindset is a bit lacking!” Ziyang Zhenren frowned.
The aura was terrifying but not to the extent that they would retreat. None of them had hearts lower than the sky.
Even when facing a stronger existence, they would draw their swords without hesitation. Unless the strength gap was too vast.
If their realms were reversed, Ziyang Zhenren could understand. A quasi-saint challenging a Saint would indeed be a huge gap.
But Taigu was on the advantageous side, having a one-level advantage and it shouldn’t be this way.
Moreover, he had said that the Nine Heavens Realm was full of trash. His heart should be more arrogant, not retreating just because of an aura.
Even if it was a fight at the same realm, there was no reason for this.
“It’s not that bad actually! If it were someone brainless like Jin Changhe, they would definitely fight in angerz
“But he is smart enough to know that in a fight in the same realm, he would most likely lose to Jiang Chen.” Qin Ruhu retorted.
“Does he have a chance against Tian Fu though? Shouldn’t you know?” Ziyang Zhenren curled his lips, showing disagreement.
They were of the same era. How could they not know what Tian Fu represented?
“That’s true! This is a dead end! Taigu is at a disadvantage either way!”
Qin Ruhu thought for a while and said, “But why does the Primordial Holy Son insist on fighting at the same realm? I feel that even at this level, he would win against Taigu!”
Even though the aura was fleeting, they could feel the strong sense of oppression. Even in a normal fight, without any realm suppression, he felt that Jiang Chen had a higher chance of winning.
There was no need for a same-realm fight; he could crush with his own power.
“Don’t question the Primordial Holy Son! I think he doesn’t want to fight Taigu, not out of fear, but for another reason!”
The two, experienced and knowledgeable, had almost figured out the situation below.
Almost without any mistakes.
Jiang Chen didn’t fight because he was just lying low. As long as he didn’t fight, he could get the reward.
Why not enjoy it? Moreover, he had other ways to handle the situation.
For Jiang Chen, getting the reward and preventing Zi Qingyan from being taken by the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain was enough.
Nothing else mattered.
As for others’ fear and concerns, they were not within Jiang Chen’s consideration.
“Indeed, the Primordial Holy Land has the guts! But why is the Primordial Holy Land doing this? They have no reason to offend the Forbidden Zone for the Supreme Dao Sect!” Bai Chen said, puzzled.
Although the Primordial Holy Land did not fear the Forbidden Zone, there was no need to provoke them. Doing this was a loss for the Primordial Holy Land.
No benefits, only harm.
“Perhaps Zi Qingyan or the entire Supreme Dao Sect is very important to the Primordial Holy Land. The exact reason is unknown, but it could be to draw the Supreme Dao Sect into their fold.” Huang Qingtian also couldn’t understand.
The Primordial Holy Land didn’t need to do this. To explain the actions of the Primordial Holy Land, Huang Qingtian thought of only two reasons.
One was protection, the other was drawing them in. Or perhaps just one reason: drawing them in. By doing so, they could bring the Supreme Dao Sect under their influence.
“The Primordial Holy Land will definitely have big moves in the future!” The Vermillion Bird Goddess thought for a while and said softly.
Although the exact plans of the Primordial Holy Land were unknown for now, but through this incident, they gained some understanding.
Maybe the Primordial Holy Land needed the participation of major forces for some big actions.
But what could it be? They couldn’t figure it out for now.
“Could it be related to the True Dragon Clan? The last time the True Dragon Clan intervened, which almost ruined things!” Newest update provided by NoveI~Fire.net
“Is the Primordial Holy Land retaliating against the True Dragon Clan by involving the Supreme Dao Sect?”
“Don’t say, given the nature of the Primordial Holy Land, they might really do that!” Jin Changhe said slowly.
