Chapter 1691: A Confident Xu Jing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Jing’s eyes shone brightly as he stared at the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.

Previously, both of them had strength that far surpassed him and could easily overpower him. However, today, he had taken the initiative to challenge both of them at the same time with just his strength alone.

His challenge was made not without a reason. In fact, he was really confident, and his confidence came from the Devouring Dark Devil Technique.

In the past year, no one but him knew about his own progress. Due to this reason, he was calm from the beginning until the end when he was faced with the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi. He knew that even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for him at all.

They were merely two Mastery Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators!

The people present on the scene could not help but hold their breaths when they saw Xu Jing standing directly opposite the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.

Even Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang, the two moderators of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, were staring at Xu Jing and the other two with utmost concentration. To be more precise, their attention was mostly focused on Xu Jing.

Naturally, they were no stranger to Xu Jing. He was the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, and they had seen him more than once. Due to this reason, they had a certain understanding of Xu Jing’s innate talent and strength.

“It’s already shocking that Xu Jing’s cultivation base is at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage… However, it’s even more shocking that he wants to challenge the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi at the same time. Vice Mansion Master Ren, don’t you think he’s being a little too arrogant?” Liu Hong Guang asked through Voice Transmission as he looked at Ren Zhong.

“A year ago, he was merely an Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. However, now he has broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage. This is not something the Rising Sky Mansion’s great cultivation resources could help him with. Due to this reason, I’m certain he must have had a fortuitous encounter during this past year. With this encounter, his strength must have grown a lot. It’s only natural that he feels confident,” Ren Zhong said through Voice Transmission, “If he challenges the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi individually, he might stand a chance of winning. However, he’s challenging both of them at the same time… This is really a sign of him being overconfident and arrogant.”

“I wonder what kind of fortuitous encounter he had that made him so confident… Look at how confident he is. It’s as though he’s certain he’ll be able to defeat the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi at the same time,” Liu Hong Guang added again.

“Previously, he was far from being comparable to the Flowery Monk or Jing Xu Zi. It’s normal for him to be arrogant and reckless now. It’s not necessarily a bad thing for him to lose this fight. It’s a good lesson for him so he won’t simply look down on people in the future,” Ren Zhong said solemnly.

Liu Hong Guang nodded in sign of assent.

“Damn it!” Although Xu Cen would not mind if Xu Jing was defeated, his expression still turned grave when he saw this scene. No matter what, Xu Jing still represented the Rising Sky Mansion. With how arrogant he was acting, it would be okay if he won, but if he lost, it would affect him and the Rising Sky Mansion. It would cause them to be the butt of jokes in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district.

As the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, it was only natural he did not wish for the sect to become a laughing stock because of Xu Jing.

It was unfortunate the situation was out of his control.

Meanwhile, the people in the surrounding were whispering among themselves.

Although Xu Jing appeared confident, nobody really thought highly of him.

Among the Ring Masters, only Duan Ling Tian had a grave expression on his face.

Whether it was the Wine-Meat Monk, Yu Xu Zi, Yin Xu Zi or the others, there was a hint of mockery in their eyes when they looked at Xu Jing. It was obvious they did not think Xu Jing was capable or strong enough to defeat the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi now that they had agreed to join forces.

“Xu Jing, since you’re fighting both of us at the same time, we won’t take advantage of you. You can make the first move!” The Flowery Monk said as his eyes gleamed terrifyingly.

When he spoke, the kasaya on his body fluttered even though there was no wind, emitting a bloodcurdling aura. It was obvious he was getting serious about the fight.

The Flowery Monk was not the only one who was furious, Jing Xu Zi was furious as well.

Although Jing Xu Zi was a Taoist priest and was usually very calm, at this moment, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart any longer due to the Xu Jing’s repeated provocations and humiliations.

“Flowery Monk, Jing Xu Zi, I know that both of you feel like I’m humiliating you. However, I just want you to know that the current me is different from before. Due to this reason, it’s better if you go all out when you’re fighting me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not warning both of you when you die.” Xu Jing smiled sinisterly as he looked at the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.

Based on his words, it was obvious he planned to kill the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Ji.

Since both the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi had to take the Rising Sky Mansion into consideration, they did not dare to kill Xu Jing in fear of retaliation from the Rising Sky Mansion.

However, it was different for Xu Jing. Xu Jing had the Rising Sky Mansion, a fourth-rate force, backing him. Naturally, he did not have to fear the fifth-rate forces behind the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.

Even if the Brahma Temple and Pure Yang Shrine joined forces, it was nothing to the Rising Sky Mansion at all. This was the difference between a fourth-rate and fifth-rate force.

“You want us to go all out? We’ll see if you have the ability or not!” Jing Xu Zi who was usually calm was furious now.

“Both of you will find out very quickly if I have the ability or not.” Xu Jing smiled sinisterly again. The moment his words left his mouth, the air in within 100-meter radius of him began ripple for a moment as True Origin surged out of his body. In just a blink of an eye, it turned into a tornado again.

This was the same technique he had used earlier to kill Zhong Gu. It was his Territory’s technique.

His Territory was called the Typhoon Territory.

Whoever entered his Territory would be shrouded by the typhoon. The stronger his True Origin was, the stronger the force of his Territory.

This tornado was formed by him by consolidating all the tornados inside the Typhoon Territory. It was his Territory’s technique. Its concept was similar to how Duan Ling Tian consolidated the 10,000 sword rays in his 10,000 Swords Territory into a sword.

Unlike when he was fighting Zhong Gu, this time, Xu Jing fully used his strength at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage when he attacked.

Currently, the force of the tornado was stronger than the tornado he used to kill Zhong Gu in a blow.

Faced with the tornado, even the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi’s expressions turned grave. Both of their bodies trembled simultaneously.

At this moment, the kasaya on the Flowery Monk and the dopo on Jing Xu Zi fluttered together loudly in the wind along with their True Origins.

At the same time, a Territory formed in within the area 100-meter radius around Flowery Monk. Next to him, another Territory was formed in within the area 100-meter radius of Jing Xu Zi as well.
