Six Realms Immortal Emperor

Behind the Moon Laurel Peak of the Brahma Sect, a rising sun slowly illuminates the valley. Countless unidentified small animals leap from the grass, basking in the sunlight. Everything is so peaceful and serene; even the precipitous cliff at the end of the valley appears exceptionally beautiful.

Suddenly, the little animals seemed to hear some noise and scattered in all directions, running away into the distance.

Several long, shadowy figures appeared here, moving at great speed and arriving in no time. These people wore black Taoist robes and were outer disciples of the Brahma Sect. Several more disciples followed shortly after.

"Oh, you guys are here too!" The first to arrive greeted the later ones.

"Hehe, how could we be missing from the fun at Feiye Gorge?" the later-arriving disciple replied with a smile. The two groups exchanged knowing smiles and said nothing more, all craning their necks towards the valley to wait.

Before long, figures moved about as outer disciples arrived one after another, and in a short time, more than a hundred people had gathered here.

"Look, they're here, they're here!" someone shouted.

Qu Feixiong walked over with a smile amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, greeting everyone as he went.

Although he usually disdained associating with these outer disciples, they were so sensible as to come and watch him kill someone today, so he would give them some face and let them spread his fame.

"What's wrong? Xu Jingtian hasn't arrived yet. Is he going to stand us up?" Qu Feixiong said impatiently to the people around him.

"Senior Brother Qu is one of the top disciples among the outer sect. That disciple named Xu Jingtian must be too afraid to come!" a disciple said, taking the opportunity to flatter him.

"That's right. Unless he keeps hiding in the sect, he'll have to kneel down and beg for mercy whenever he sees our Senior Brother Qu, saying, 'Thank you for sparing my life, Senior Brother Qu!' Hahahaha!" another disciple said obsequiously.

It seems that Qu Feixiong has considerable influence among the outer disciples and is highly respected by many.

These words were extremely pleasing to Qu Feixiong, whose eyes were smiling as if he could see Xu Jingtian kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to him repeatedly.

"I don't think so. I heard that Xu Jingtian won first place in the wilderness trial, and his strength is no less than Qu Feixiong's." Some disciples whispered among themselves.

Of course, many disciples simply observed quietly, while others complained that they had come for nothing and there was no good show to watch.

"Look, the inner disciples are here too!" a sharp-eyed disciple shouted. The crowd stirred again; it seemed Qu Feixiong had a significant influence, his duel having even attracted the attention of the inner disciples.

"Senior Brother Jin!" Qu Feixiong looked up and was surprised to find that the person who came was Jin Chongguang. He called out excitedly.

Jin Chongguang approached him with a smile and said, "Fight well, I'll back you up. Don't forget what I told you before."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Jin, I definitely won't let you down," Qu Feixiong said with a smile. With Jin Chongguang backing him up, he felt reassured and certain of victory. He could just focus on fighting.

Jin Chongguang nodded to him, then walked behind the crowd. After all, this was a duel between outer disciples, and he couldn't interfere too obviously. A cold smile appeared on his lips. As long as he rescued Xu Jingtian at the right time, he wouldn't have to worry about him not submitting. At that time, it would be much easier to get reliable information from him.

"Oh, so he has an inner disciple helping him. No wonder Qu Feixiong is so confident. It seems Xu Jingtian is doomed this time!" With Jin Chongguang as an additional bargaining chip, more disciples are inclined to believe that Qu Feixiong will win this battle.

Time ticked by, and the sun was already high in the sky, but Xu Jingtian still hadn't appeared. Many disciples were growing impatient and began to clamor, "Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Hahaha, I told you long ago, Xu Jingtian is a coward who's afraid of death, he definitely won't come today!" Qu Feixiong laughed smugly.

"Who's talking badly about me behind my back!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out in the valley. Although the voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly.

Everyone hurriedly looked up, but found nothing, and a sense of mystery arose in their hearts.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Xu Jingtian slowly walked into the valley. He was all alone, and empty-handed, swaggering into Feiye Gorge.

Xu Jingtian didn't pay much attention to the surprised looks of the crowd. Instead, he looked behind him with slight surprise and saw a familiar figure come into view before quickly disappearing behind a large tree.

He smiled and shook his head, not taking it to heart. Then his gaze lingered briefly on Qu Feixiong before calmly sweeping across the surrounding crowd, as if searching for someone.

This made Qu Feixiong, who was watching from the sidelines, lose face. He had no choice but to shout at Xu Jingtian, "Xu Jingtian, are you really not afraid of death?" His voice was full of smugness. He saw that Xu Jingtian was all alone, and his chances of winning increased greatly.

"Hmph, it's not certain who will die!" Xu Jingtian only glanced at him and could tell how strong Qu Feixiong was. It seems that he has not been idle in the past few months and his cultivation level is close to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"Hmph, Xu Jingtian, don't be so arrogant! I'll make you beg for mercy on your knees later!" Qu Feixiong's face turned cold as he gritted his teeth and said. No outer disciple had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone.

"Is that so? I think you're the one kneeling and begging for mercy!" Xu Jingtian retorted without backing down.

Qu Feixiong let out a cold laugh, summoned his flying sword, and said to Xu Jingtian, "Fine, fine, since that's the case, stop talking nonsense and make the first move!" This wasn't an ordinary sparring match, yet he let Xu Jingtian make the first move, which was clearly a sign of looking down on Xu Jingtian.

The two immediately launched into a heated exchange, creating a tense atmosphere. This made the disciples watching from the sidelines very excited, yet they dared not get too close, and they all dispersed to the sides to give the two enough space.

Just then, Dongfang Sixing emerged from behind a large tree and, taking advantage of the crowd's inattention, quickly ran a few steps and hid in the crowd.

"Hmph! You're so arrogant, you'll regret making this decision!" Xu Jingtian said, but his hands didn't hold back at all. He instantly gathered his powerful spiritual energy into his palm, and a burst of spiritual energy shot out, sweeping towards Qu Feixiong, who was several feet away.

Without any tricks, a sudden gust of wind arose from the ground, scattering the broken stones with a whooshing sound, sending them hurtling towards Qu Feixiong like arrows. "Since you underestimate me, I'll teach you a lesson first."

"Piece of cake!" Qu Feixiong had been watching him leisurely, but upon hearing the sound and seeing the rapidly approaching rubble, his face finally turned serious. A true expert's skill is evident from the first move. Before the rubble even arrived, the sharp wind blades were already hurtling towards him. At this point, it would be too late to dodge, so he hurriedly waved his flying sword in front of his chest.

Qu Feixiong was indeed quite skilled, wielding his flying sword with impenetrable precision. He sneered inwardly: With this, he couldn't possibly hurt me!

With a series of crisp clanging sounds, Qu Feixiong's flying sword blocked most of the broken stones, but after he put the sword away, he felt a burning pain in his shoulder.

Qu Feixiong turned his head and saw that there was a small hole in his clothes on the shoulder. If it weren't for his protective inner energy, he would definitely have been injured.

The moment the two clashed, the difference in skill was immediately apparent, causing a stir among the onlookers as they began to reassess Xu Jingtian's abilities.
