Translator: 549690339
Pang Hong, who had originally been wandering in the outside world, sat in a tavern with Dan Feng and his sister that he had met at the Wild Mountain Ancient Temple.
The three had just returned from a forbidden place, a blessed land, not long ago. Although they hadn’t secured any treasures from the blessed land, they still reaped considerable gains.
Upon hearing the news that Pei Xuanjing was going to challenge the master of Justice Hall, the three hurriedly headed to Justice Hall without taking a rest.
Dan Feng, who had been wandering in Jianghu for several years, now showed more maturity on his face, much more than when he first ran into Pei Xuanjing.
Surveying the surrounding martial artists, he lowered his voice and asked Pang Hong, “Pang Hong, why do you think your master is doing this?”
No matter whether there were mighty experts among the surrounding martial artists or not, Dan Feng still lowered his voice to ask.
After rolling along in Jianghu for several years, Pang Hong had gradually matured. He no longer resembled the inexperienced boy when he first stepped into Jianghu. The longer he spent in Jianghu, the more he could feel the robust strength of his teacher. Thus, he did not worry about his teacher losing at all.
While he was still eating hungrily, upon hearing Dan Feng’s question, he responded casually, “There must be some profound reasons behind master’s actions, it’S beyond my comprehension.”
Pang Hong did not want to guess Pei Xuanjing’s intentions, and he also thought he wouldn’t be able to figure it out.
His teacher, over the years, has experienced countless ups and downs, met countless opponents, but never suffered a loss.
If so, why bother with such conjecture and add to his troubles.
Dan Feng and his sister both stopped talking upon hearing this.
Even though they had only met Pei Xuanjing, who was only a few years older than them at the ancient temple, they were profoundly impressed by him.
The demeanor of Pei Xuanjing when he confronted Zhao Baiyang, the leader of Mire Sect, at the ancient temple, had captivated Dan Feng.
In his opinion, Pei Xuanjing’s profound and lofty manner was more impressive than his own father’s.
Pei Xuanjing did not know about their conversation, nor did he know that just one encounter had made such a deep impression on these two siblings.
Right now, he was wearing a dark-brown robe, and carrying the Shenxiao Sword on his waist, slowly walking into the town where Justice Hall was located.
“Pei Xuanjing is here!”
“He is actually here!”
“Is he the Slayer Taoist people speak about? I heard that the Slayer Taoist is a ruthless monster, he looks nothing like a good person. But this Taoist Priest has a handsome face and outstanding demeanor. He doesn’t look murderous at all?” someone queried.
“You must not look down upon him. Rumor has it, he kills without batting an eye!”
With Pei Xuanjing’s strength, he could easily hear the words of everyone around him, even without trying.
He frowned slightly, and the aura of his martial arts spread out.
After feeling this powerful force of martial arts, the jabbering martial artists suddenly fell silent.
The Slayer Taoist is indeed terrifying!
Many people who initially doubted Pei Xuanjing’s abilities, were now furrowing their brows, realizing that Pei Xuanjing’s strength exceeded their understandings.
The town was neither too big nor too small.
When Pei Xuanjing revealed his true martial arts, the really strong martial artists in the town detected it immediately.
They understood that Pei Xuanjing had arrived.
“This man’s strength far exceeds our expectations.”
The master of Justice Hall, Ma Wuji, and his deputy, Zhang Xiaoyao, exchanged a glance, thinking the same.
However, at this moment, they cannot lose in terms of demeanor, since the challenger has already showed up, they cannot back down.
The two released their martial arts aura without hesitation, echoing Pei Xuanjing•s martial arts aura.
Having ascertained the direction, Pei Xuanjing smiled lightly, swayed his sleeve, and walked towards the Justice Hall with his head held high.
All the martial artists retreated to make way for him, no one dared to stand in his path.
The reputation of the Slayer Taoist was thoroughly displayed at this moment.
“A real man should be just like him!” Cui Qingping, who was in the distance, was watching Pei Xuanjing, whose might was overwhelming, with a glowing gaze, revealing an expression of admiration.
Certainly, he and Li Yuzhen had also come to this place.
Li Yuzhen and others around him watched Pei Xuanjing’s silhouette in the distance, all silent.
They, the young dragons of Jianghu, were admired by many martial artists, who believed they would achieve great things in the future.
However, compared with Pei Xuanjing of the same age, they were like chalk and cheese, as if they no longer had any chance to catch up with him, and could only watch his departing figure from afar.
Cui Qingping and others thought in their hearts that there might be a day when they wouldn’t even be able to catch a glimpse of his back.
On the bustling Long Street, the area suddenly became eerily quiet, as silent as a graveyard.
All martial artists’ gazes were fixed on the handsome young Taoist.
Pei Xuanjing walked steadily, advancing step by step. Soon, he arrived before Justice Hall.
“The Long Life Son of Shenxiao Sect is here today to learn from the experts at Justice Hall.” Pei Xuanjing’s resonant voice echoed around, reaching towards all directions, nearly every martial artist in half of the town could hear it.
Justice Hall’s master Ma Wuji and Zhang Xiaoyao were already waiting there, with many strong men of Justice Hall behind them, as well as their good friends, who also had a reputation in Jianghu.
Sigh!
A number of martial artists, who were there just to watch the fun, seeing so many martial artists gathered before Justice Hall and hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words, couldn’t help but gasp.
What Pei Xuanjing just spoke differed significantly from the rumors in Jianghu. It seemed not only was he challenging Justice Hall’s master, but also those who were helping him.
“Weren’t the Shenxiao Sect wiped out a long time ago?”
Ma Wuji and Zhang Xiaoyao also heard what Pei Xianjing meant. While they cursed him for being arrogant in their hearts, they didn’t rebuke him.
However, among the visiting friends, several had hot tempers. Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s disregard for everyone, they felt insulted and could not help but mock him.
Oh no!
Exchanging a glance, they understood that, no matter how arrogant Pei Xuanjing’s words had been, talking about obliteration was hitting below the belt.
“Hmm?” Pei Xuanjingts expression cooled as he turned his gaze towards them.
“Who are you!” His calm words were filled with insurmountable forces, making the air seem a few degrees colder.
“I am…” The man was about to clarify his identity.
Unexpectedly, Pei Xuanjing abruptly interrupted him. He snorted coldly, “Forget it, I have no interest in listening to you wasting time.”
While talking, Pei Xuanjing waved his sleeve, and a force rolled out, bringing up a fierce surge, and struck down.
Thud!
The man was sent flying in a direct hit by Pei Xuanjing. He couldn’t even stand against a casual attack from Pei Xuanjing and was knocked to the ground..
