Chapter 181 The Male Supporting Character Who Avenged His Mistakes (9)
Zhuo Shaohang's expression changed, and a sinister look flashed across his face.
“Brother Ren, you’ve only just started out and you’re already challenging all the major sects of the righteous path. I naturally don’t have that kind of courage. However—” He looked at the group of young people still lying on the ground and paused, “Most of these people are third- or second-rate, and their strength is not as good as yours. You’ve gone too far by hitting them so hard. I must ask Brother Ren for a few pointers, which would be my contribution to the righteous path of the martial world.”
That's a well-said statement.
The young people immediately showed expressions of gratitude, and the others secretly admired them as well.
He truly is the successor of the Sword God.
He speaks with perfect tact and precision.
Changqing nodded to himself; this guy was indeed cunning.
However, he was originally a member of the Demonic Sect, so he didn't care about grand principles. Without saying much, he suddenly drew his sword, and a flash of white light appeared.
Zhuo Shaohang's expression changed. He never expected the other party to be so unreasonable. Moreover, the blade was so sharp that he had no time to dodge.
He didn't even have time to draw his sword, so he could only raise the scabbard to block.
boom!
With a loud bang, both figures were sent flying backward.
When Zhuo Shaohang landed, his face was extremely ugly. The three rubies on the scabbard in his hand had been shattered, leaving only the bare hilt.
Changqing sneered, "Your strength is mediocre, but your tone is quite arrogant!"
Zhuo Shaohang felt extremely frustrated.
He hadn't even had a chance to unleash his full potential, and this sword was a gift from his master, a renowned treasure. Now, it had been destroyed as soon as it left the mountain, filling him with immense anger.
"You little devil, you attacked me from behind!"
Someone nearby shouted indignantly.
Changqing laughed, "A sneak attack? He just said he wanted to learn a few moves from me. What? Does the Sword God's successor not keep his word?"
Zhuo Shaohang could barely maintain his composure; his eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Changqing.
What's the logic behind this?
When he said he wanted to learn a couple of moves, he meant setting a time, having someone witness it, and having a fair fight. It didn't mean he was going to draw his sword and start fighting on the spot.
"You, you—"
Zhuo Shaohang trembled with anger. He wanted to draw his sword and kill the man, but he felt that it would be very undignified. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Changqing, however, looked smug. "What's wrong with me? You're not happy about losing to me?"
"I didn't lose!" Zhuo Yihang roared.
Changqing: "Did the gems on your sword fly off by themselves?"
Zhuo Shaohang: "You attacked me from behind!"
Changqing: "You're the one who said you wanted to learn a couple of moves!"
The two argued endlessly, and eventually even the others couldn't stand it anymore. An elderly man stepped forward and persuaded the two to fight again fairly and justly.
Changqing sighed, "You righteous people are really hypocritical. You won't admit defeat even if you lose. Fine, tomorrow morning, at the Guanshentai on the You River, we'll have another match. This time, if you lose, you have to admit defeat and automatically stay away from me for three miles from now on, understand?"
Zhuo Shaohang gritted his teeth and said, "Fine!"
He must wash away today's humiliation; as a disciple of the Sword God, he cannot suffer such an inexplicable loss.
At this moment, he himself did not realize that after the commotion just now, he had even forgotten to look for his own origins, and his mind was full of thoughts about washing away today's shame on the Guanxiantai tomorrow.
Changqing left with a grin.
The others surrounded Zhuo Shaohang, offering their comfort.
"Young Master Zhuo, that little devil has no bottom line. He attacked us with a sneak attack and destroyed the gem on the Hero's Sword. You don't need to take it to heart. Tomorrow, defeat him in public and take his life. That would be a great service to the righteous path!"
"Brother Zhuo, my family is in the gemstone business. I can provide three identical gemstones free of charge to repair the Hero Sword!"
"Young Master Zhuo, the Demonic Sect acts without any rules. You must be extra careful tomorrow."
The chatter of the group deeply moved Zhuo Shaohang, who was new to the world of martial arts. Indeed, righteous people are the ones who value loyalty.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Rest assured, everyone, I am not afraid of a fair fight!"
Zhuo Shaohang was certainly confident in himself. As the Sword God's closed-door disciple, his strength was by no means weak. In fact, a few years ago, he had even exchanged ideas with that prodigy from the Shaking Mountain Sect, and at that time, the two were evenly matched.
Ren Changqing challenged so many righteous heroes, but he chickened out at the Hanshan Sect. This shows that he had not yet reached the level of a Grandmaster. He could launch a sneak attack, but in a head-on battle, he had no reason to lose.
One night.
The news spread like wildfire.
The next day.
When Zhuo Shaohang arrived at Guanxiantai, he was startled. The area below was packed with people.
That's fine.
The more people there are, the more triumphant we will be, and the more we can wipe away yesterday's shame.
Thinking this, he smiled, moved, and ascended onto the platform.
A murmur immediately broke out among the crowd.
"Ah, so that is the successor of the Sword God? He is truly elegant."
"Hehe, it is said that this successor of the Sword God is very skilled in martial arts, and is no less than that one from the Shaking Mountain Sect."
"I'm really looking forward to it. I can't believe I'll get to see the prowess of the Sword God's successor today."
At this moment, there were many people below the stage, including members of the Demonic Sect. Upon hearing this, someone immediately sneered.
"What sword god successor? Didn't you see the sword in his hand? That's the Hero's Sword, with three gems on the hilt. Yesterday, my young master Ren sliced them off with one stroke."
These words immediately drew gasps of surprise.
"Impossible! Even that devil Ren Changqing wouldn't dare challenge the Mountain Shaking Sect, how could he possibly remove the gem from the Hero Sword?"
“I saw it with my own eyes. Young Master Ren had already won one match yesterday. It was this Zhuo guy who was not convinced, which led to the second match today.”
"That was a sneak attack!"
Martial arts practitioners are sharp-eyed and perceptive, and Zhuo Shaohang was furious as he listened to the crowd's discussion.
Seeing that Changqing hadn't appeared for a long time, he couldn't hold back any longer and roared towards the direction of Youshui Town, "Ren Changqing! Come out and face your death!"
Changqing finally showed up.
However, he moved slowly and stepped forward to apologize, "Brother Zhuo, I was too heavy-handed yesterday and ruined the gem on your Hero Sword. I have already ordered someone to find a replacement. This obsidian is considered rare even in my sect, and its value is no less than your ruby. Consider it compensation."
He walked onto the stage, extended his hand, and in his palm were three pure black obsidian stones.
One sentence was enough to infuriate Zhuo Shaohang.
Many people in the audience hadn't experienced yesterday's event and actually believed Changqing's words; their expressions changed instantly.
Zhuo Shaohang stared intently at Chang Qing.
His right hand, gripping the sword, had white knuckles, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.
Although he suffered hardships in his childhood, he had never been so angry since becoming a disciple of his master. It could be said that Changqing opened his eyes to the world, showing him that there were such shameless people in the world.
Are you going to fight or not?
Seeing Changqing extend his hand, he didn't dare to make the first move, but gritted his teeth and asked a question.
Changqing withdrew his hand and shook his head.
His gaze swept across the audience, and suddenly, a delighted smile spread across his face:
"Mother, you've come too?"
