Six Realms Immortal Emperor

"Hmph! Xu Jingtian, are you scared? Pretending not to know?" Qu Feixiong's arrogance grew even stronger. "Within Feiye Gorge, we'll fight to the death. No one can stop us! So, do you dare accept?"

After saying this, Qu Feixiong looked at Xu Jingtian provocatively. In his eyes, Xu Jingtian's act of pretending not to have heard of it was a sign of his guilty conscience.

Lu Yikuang hurriedly stopped Xu Jingtian, saying, "Brother Jingtian, you can't agree to him. Qu Feixiong, your opponent is me. If you have the guts, let's meet in Feiye Gorge!"

He had spent a long time with Qu Feixiong and was most familiar with his temperament. He knew Qu Feixiong was cunning and feared that Xu Jingtian might suffer a loss.

"Hmph!" Xu Jingtian sneered. After listening to everyone's words, he finally understood what Feiye Gorge meant.

Little did he know, Qu Feixiong's suggestion was exactly what he wanted to hear, so Xu Jingtian readily agreed, saying, "Great, that's for the best. I was worried you might try something funny and change your mind at the last minute!"

Seeing that Xu Jingtian had actually agreed so readily, Qu Feixiong was extremely excited and laughed, "Alright, since it's a life-or-death duel, I won't bully you. I'll give you plenty of time to prepare; you can set the time. But don't keep me waiting too long!"

Actually, Qu Feixiong had a ulterior motive for agreeing to Xu Jingtian's request so readily. By engaging in a life-or-death duel with Xu Jingtian, he could avoid Lu Yikuang. He was quite confident in defeating Xu Jingtian, and his chances of winning were several times higher than when facing Lu Yikuang.

"Don't worry, I've wanted your dog's life for a long time!" Xu Jingtian glanced at him with utter contempt, full of confidence.

Qu Feixiong was somewhat surprised by Xu Jingtian's confident demeanor. He had fallen for Xu Jingtian's trick during the trial when they made a bet. Now that Xu Jingtian had won first place in the trial, could it be that he was hiding his true strength? This made Qu Feixiong regret his hasty decision.

Lu Yikuang was also anxious and advised Xu Jingtian, "Jingtian, since you can set the time, set it five or ten years from now. Anyway, your cultivation speed is amazing. By then, you will definitely be able to surpass Qu Feixiong. It's not too late to have a duel then."

Qu Feixiong's face turned extremely ugly. If we were to set a timeframe for ten years from now, who knows what the situation would be like? Perhaps Xu Jingtian would actually have a chance to surpass him.

"Don't worry, Qu Feixiong, it won't take that long, and I can't wait that long either. The time is set for three months from now. We'll settle this in Feiye Gorge!" Xu Jingtian had some understanding of Qu Feixiong's strength. A disciple who relied on sneak attacks couldn't be that powerful. However, he was even more aware of his own strength.

He was lucky this time; his cultivation level rose to the third level of Qi Refining in a very short time. Coupled with the high-grade magic weapon rewarded by the sect, his strength would increase significantly. Next, he only needed to spend some time mastering the use of the magic weapon, and with his extremely refined Illusionary Shadow Movement Technique, he shouldn't be at a disadvantage. Moreover, he still had his precious prayer beads; he could kill even a third-tier ferocious beast, let alone a Qu Feixiong.

"Alright, let's set it for three months from now. I'll let you live a few more days first." Qu Feixiong's attitude was extremely arrogant. Of course, he didn't know the situation on Xu Jingtian's side. He thought Xu Jingtian was so easy to hook, so he quickly made a firm statement to avoid being ruined by Lu Yikuang.

Xu Jingtian sneered and said nothing; he didn't want to engage in a verbal battle.

Lu Yikuang couldn't stand it any longer and was about to step forward and give Qu Feixiong a good beating when Xu Jingtian grabbed him.

There were many people around, and Xu Jingtian didn't want people to think they were bullying the weak, giving them ammunition to criticize them.

"Then can I leave now, Brother Lu?" Qu Feixiong approached Lu Yikuang with a forced smile. He was adept at taking advantage of the situation and knew that under the current circumstances, Lu Yikuang couldn't do anything to him.

Lu Yikuang was about to make another move, but Xu Jingtian persuaded him to stop with a look.

Qu Feixiong glanced at the two of them, still maintaining an extremely arrogant demeanor, and walked confidently between them.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can be so arrogant." Looking at his back, Xu Jingtian also wanted to rush up and beat him up right away.

"Brother Jingtian, really, why did you have to agree to him? I should be the one going to Feiye Gorge, not you!" Lu Yikuang said worriedly, "That Qu Feixiong is cunning and treacherous; I'm really afraid you won't be a match for him!"

"Brother Lu, you are injured. Let me go in this battle. Don't worry, I'm confident I can kill him in three months," Xu Jingtian said confidently.

The outer disciples who had been watching the commotion dispersed once the matter was over. They finally had a better understanding of Xu Jingtian and reassessed his strength, concluding that he was someone who could be compared to Qu Feixiong and Lu Yikuang. From now on, the outer disciples of the Brahma Sect had gained another genius, and Xu Jingtian's name became widely known.

However, some disciples were not optimistic about Xu Jingtian, doubting his strength and believing that he was merely young and impetuous and would ultimately be no match for Qu Feixiong. After all, in the world of cultivation, a person's reputation precedes them, and everything ultimately depends on strength.

Dongfang Sixing, who had been hiding in the crowd, also came over and complained, "Jing Tian, ​​did you really agree to Qu Feixiong's offer to have a life-or-death duel?"

"Yeah, this guy actually dared to snatch things from us and almost killed Brother Lu. I can't quell my hatred without killing him!" Xu Jingtian said fiercely. He rarely hated anyone so much; Qu Feixiong had really gone too far.

"Actually, it's not worth doing this for a thousand-year-old Qinglingzhi. Preserving your life is the most important thing," Dongfang Sixing advised softly. Back then, when he was being chased to the point of having nowhere to run, if he hadn't voluntarily given up the thousand-year-old Qinglingzhi, he probably would have died under Qu Feixiong's sword long ago.

"Yeah yeah."

At this moment, Li Wanruo, Gu Tianxing, and several other disciples also stepped out from the crowd and gathered around, whispering their agreement. They had also figured out what had happened from within the crowd, but intimidated by Qu Feixiong's reputation, they didn't dare to step forward immediately.

Li Wanruo said with some concern, "I've heard that Qu Feixiong is extremely powerful, a genius among the new generation of disciples, almost on par with Brother Lu Yikuang. Brother Xu, it's best if you don't go!"

Gu Tianxing also advised, "Yes, yes, if it really doesn't work, Brother Jingtian shouldn't go to Feiye Gorge in three months. Let's see what Qu Feixiong can do then!"

"Hahaha, wouldn't that make us cowards? What if others bully us again in the future? We might be able to calm things down for a while, but we'll suffer for the rest of our lives. We won't offend others unless they offend us. Since they dare to bully us, we must defeat them!" Xu Jingtian was completely unaffected by them. When he said this, he was full of vigor, as if he had become a different person.

"Well said, Brother Jingtian!" Only Lu Yikuang praised him, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "With your words, I have full confidence in you."

In his mind, Xu Jingtian had created miracles time and time again: first slaying the Hundred-Refined Golden Tiger, then subduing the Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros, and finally even killing the Taiqing Water Lion with his own hands. Time and time again, Xu Jingtian had accomplished the impossible, and he believed that this time, Xu Jingtian would do it again.
