Chapter 254: Chapter 112: Five Bells Ring
“Mo Hong, what are you doing?”
As this move was made, even before Hall Master Shi Yunjing could speak, Qian Yuhuan almost panicked to the point of losing his composure.
The holder of the Celestial Wanxiang Card, the most esteemed guest of the Wanxiang Sect. If he were to die here, Qian wouldn't have to worry about living either, as he would surely be minced into pieces by someone from headquarters.
A powerful force surged within him, and as he stepped out wanting to rush over and intercept, he saw a flash of saber glint. Mo Baiye blocked his way.
“Leader Qian, they are just dueling. Isn't it inappropriate for you to rush over like this?”
Qian Yuhuan's eyes narrowed. “Mo Baiye, are you trying to stop me?”
Mo Baiye shook his head. “Where would I get the nerve to stop you, Leader Qian? I just don't want the duel to be disturbed. Don't worry, Mo Hong knows his limits…”
Qian Yuhuan snorted coldly. “He'd better know his limits; otherwise, if something really happens to Young Master Zhang, I wouldn't mind erasing the Mo Blade Sect from existence!”
“This…”
Mo Baiye's eyelids twitched. Though filled with anger, he dared not say much more.
Despite being a 6-dan expert of the Galaxy Realm, he was significantly outmatched by Qian, not to mention Qian's backing from the Wanxiang Sect. If Qian really wanted him dead, even the Hall Master couldn't save him.
However, being threatened gave him a clear piece of information.
This Zhang Xuan's identity must be extraordinary; otherwise, Qian Yuhuan wouldn't be so protective of him.
This further confirmed his own evidence and judgment.
Unaware that Mo Baiye was intentionally blocking Qian Yuhuan, Zhang Xuan at this moment was intently watching the saber's glint.
Whoosh!
He stamped his foot on the ground and charged towards the light of the saber.
It looked like he was not dodging but instead rushing to his death. As long as Mo Hong didn't retract his saber, he could split him in half on the spot.
Just as everyone was tense, Mo Hong's saber glint finally fell, and only then did they realize that the sleek Mo Dao was less than a centimeter away from Zhang Xuan's nose, just missing it.
It was as if it had been calculated to perfection, not missing by even a hair.
“How is this possible?”
Mo Hong's pupils contracted as he continued to slash, his saber growing fiercer with each strike, the sound of it whooshing through the air causing the spectators to retreat over thirty meters away.
No matter how fierce his saber art was, Zhang Xuan managed to dodge it by a hair's breadth each time, making all his attacks miss directly.
“Impressive!”
Yan Sansan by now was too astonished to speak.
He realized that his reputed first place was nothing compared to Zhang Xuan.
“Isn't this the true number one of the Galaxy Potential Rankings?”
“Yeah, I didn't expect him to be so formidable. No wonder he could comprehend the fragments of the heavens…”
Those who had mocked earlier were now filled with shame.
Only now did they understand, compared to Zhang Xuan, their so-called talent was trash like a turtle.
The crowd was shocked but Zhang Xuan was starting to sweat on his forehead.
Normally, even with his unparalleled talent, the gap in strength with Mo Hong was too large; without burning his New World, he couldn't possibly hold on. But his opponent was using Mo Dao, and he had comprehended it to the third level, which gave him the advantage now.
That meant, he could anticipate every move of the saber art in advance and react accordingly… but this was already his limit; counterattacking was out of his reach.
Unless… he used the Pathos of Heaven sword art, or burned his New World!
“Mo Hong, enough!”
Just as he was about to falter, Mo Baiye's voice sounded.
Whoosh!
The Mo Dao stopped, and Mo Hong stepped back a few paces.
This alone showed that he still had some reserve strength.
“At such a young age to possess such strength, worthy indeed of being called Young Master Zhang…”
Mo Baiye smiled slightly and then turned to Shi Yunjing and Qian Yuhuan, “Hall Master, Leader Qian, I have finished assessing; Young Master Zhang's strength is extraordinary, truly deserving of his reputation. I will take my leave now…”
“Go ahead!”
Seeing him withdraw without harming Zhang Xuan, Qian Yuhuan nodded in satisfaction, and Shi Yunjing casually waved him off.
Mo Baiye said no more and walked away.
“Teacher, why did you make me stop? A few more moves and I could have forced out all his techniques…”
Following closely behind his teacher, Mo Hong was confused.
“No need!”
Mo Baiye shook his head. “He could preempt your moves every time, which means he far surpasses you in comprehending Mo Dao Destiny. Continuing would be meaningless!”
Mo Hong was shocked. “Teacher, are you saying…”
Mo Baiye nodded. “Exactly, he has comprehended Mo Dao Destiny to the third level. That saber technique of Min Jiangtao was taught by him!”
“What should we do now?” Mo Hong clenched his fist.
Mo Baiye's gaze flickered. “With Qian Yuhuan protecting him, it's impossible to confront him directly; we'll find an opportunity later. In just such a short time, he advanced from the secondary to the third level; his talent is indeed remarkable. Unfortunately… he shouldn't have come to Zouyi City. If he hadn't let me know, it would be fine. But now that I know who he is, don't blame me for being impolite!”
Since it's indestructible and unique destiny, as the host, we naturally have to strike first.
It seems we must think about how to kill him without implicating ourselves.
“Truly worthy of someone who could obtain the Celestial Wanxiang Card…”
Seeing Mo Baiye turn away, Qian Yuhuan looked at Zhang Xuan again, full of admiration.
If there had been any doubt before, now he was one hundred percent certain that the other party must be a scion of some major family.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for him, not even reaching the Galaxy Realm, to frustrate Mo Hong at the pinnacle of 3-dan like this.
“Let's go!”
With a call, Qian Yuhuan strode towards the side hall.
Shi Yunjing also nodded in satisfaction and followed closely.
“You guys go back first…”
Zhang Xuan once again instructed Sun Qiang as he walked over.
It seemed unlikely that they would make him compensate anytime soon…
“Yes!”
Sun Qiang nodded, and just as he and the others were about to leave, they heard a melodious bell sound suddenly resonate from above.
The sound was loud, echoing throughout the entire Zouyi City, traveling at least dozens of miles in every direction.
“This…”
Qian Yuhuan stopped in his tracks, unable to help but look up.
“What's going on?”
Shi Yunjing was puzzled and looked over in confusion.
He knew there was a large bell at the top of Wanxiang Sect; it hadn't rung in decades, so why would it suddenly sound now, and so loudly?
“This is…”
Qian Yuhuan was initially confused and bewildered, then suddenly remembered something, his pupils sharply contracting and his expression changing, “Five chimes of the bell, three long and two short, disaster – a high-level expert is arriving… set up a formation!”
Following his loud command, the entire Wanxiang Sect was immediately enveloped in a glow, and in an instant, the defensive Array was activated.
“What's happening? Surely this isn't my fault…”
Zhang Xuan was also somewhat baffled and couldn't help looking towards the gate, only to see an elderly man suddenly appear, ignoring the defensive Array and slowly walking in.
