Chapter 158 The Number One Under Heaven

Over on Luo Zhen's side, he was in private discussion with the Bi Yun Daoist, while on the other side, the various sects had steadied the experts they had invited, not allowing Zhou Jing to continue shouting. Soon, they sent someone else down to challenge him.

Although Zhuo Jianchen had retreated in defeat, the various sects had no intention of giving up and continued the wheel strategy as planned.

It was just that the challengers who came on stage later were far inferior to Zhuo Jianchen in martial arts and reputation, not as weighty as before, and many martial artists were not as attentive as before.

The crowd whispered to each other, still immersed in the shock of the Sword Saint's personal certification that Chen Feng was number one in the world.

Before long, a few more people were defeated, and finally a figure with high martial arts and reputation made a move, fighting with Zhou Jing.

The Bi Yun Daoist hid in the Nan Hua Sect crowd, watching all the time, waiting for an opportunity to act. When he saw an expert on stage, he quietly activated his spells.

The Nan Hua Sect's spells were mainly based on formations and illusions. Although they were not good at killing, they also had miraculous effects. For example, the Five Elements Lost Trace Formation, the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Cloud and Mist Diagram, and so on, could trap people in the formation, making it difficult to escape. They were quite famous in the magic world.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, it was not good to be too obvious. The Bi Yun Daoist's plan was to take advantage of Chen Feng's fight with others to cast an illusion on him, confusing his mind, making him dazed and revealing flaws, so as to lose a move or two.

In this way, it would be imperceptible. Others would only think that Chen Feng had been defeated. Not only would his Nan Hua Sect win the bet and resolve the matter, but it would also preserve the reputation of the sect.

"Yin and Yang flow, transforming into all kinds, spiritual illusions are true, the void is self-formed..."

The Bi Yun Daoist pinched his fingers, urged his magic power, and remotely cast an illusion on Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing was fighting with someone when he suddenly felt a chill.

The next moment, the world in his eyes suddenly changed. His opponent suddenly disappeared, and everything around him became blurred. Only a vast expanse of white mist filled his vision, as if he had fallen into the clouds.

In the clouds, there were also flashes of black shadows, which could not be seen clearly. He could only hear a distant sound of the guzheng.

"Someone is plotting against me? Could it be magic?"

Zhou Jing frowned, his mind turned slightly, and he suddenly released his baleful aura.

The next instant.

Crack!

The illusion shattered in an instant, and Zhou Jing's vision returned to normal. He suddenly found that his opponent's sword tip had been delivered to his eyes, about to stab him.

He reacted quickly, immediately leaned back to dodge, maintained the posture of an iron bridge with the strength of his legs and waist, and at the same time stabbed back with his spear, directly piercing the opponent's thigh.

The Jianghu expert was originally ecstatic that Chen Feng was in a daze and wanted to kill him, but he did not expect that he would be severely injured in the blink of an eye, and immediately screamed and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the Bi Yun Daoist, who was hiding in the crowd, also groaned.

"Ugh!"

A mouthful of blood溢overflowed from the Bi Yun Daoist's mouth, his face was like golden paper, and his whole person was listless. Many wrinkles were added to his face out of thin air, and he suddenly aged a lot.

Casting illusions out of thin air was connected to his own mind. When it was forcibly broken, he was immediately backlashed.

"Uncle-Master! What's wrong with you?"

Luo Zhen was shocked and hurried to support him.

The Bi Yun Daoist opened his mouth with difficulty, his tone horrified: "This child's body is full of baleful aura, almost condensed into substance, and almost broke my life's Daoist cultivation!"

He had just cast an illusion and saw Chen Feng dazed because of it. He thought it was foolproof, but he did not expect that Chen Feng suddenly burst out with a monstrous fierce aura, almost like a spell, shaking his mind.

Although he was not good at observing qi, he still knew how to distinguish his peers. Chen Feng obviously did not have Daoist cultivation, but he had such a huge baleful aura. It was simply incredible.

The Bi Yun Daoist suddenly remembered that there seemed to be similar records in the classics.

According to legend, people who were destined to be soldiers were naturally immune to the invasion of Yin and evil, and spells were difficult to work on them. Most of these people were heroes in troubled times. Either they made great achievements, or they harmed one side. It was impossible for them to be mediocre.

This Chen Feng may be this kind of person!

"This person's martial arts are unparalleled, and he has a fierce and baleful aura. My sect's spells cannot deal with him." The Bi Yun Daoist took a breath, grabbed Luo Zhen's hand, and solemnly instructed: "He has already noticed something just now, so I can't do it again. This child is ruthless and merciless. Either my Nan Hua Sect admits defeat, or we get rid of this person, otherwise disaster is just around the corner."

Luo Zhen's face was uncertain when he heard this.

On the other side, Zhou Jing turned his head to look at the Nan Hua Sect's men and horses, squinting his eyes to scan them.

With Bill's information, he was quite clear about the details of the Nan Hua Sect, knowing that there was a true inheritance of spells here, and that they were good at illusions. He guessed that the illusion just now was mostly done secretly by a master of spells from the Nan Hua Sect.

"Can't beat me in the open, so you start playing dirty."

Zhou Jing snorted in his heart.

His own talent for baleful aura could not only deter Yin and evil, but also had a certain effect on dispelling confusing spells. However, most of the time it had to be activated to take effect, and it was not a passive ability.

He was a little bit dangerous just now when he was dazed and revealed a flaw. Although the opponent's sword was difficult to break through his muscles and bones, it was better not to be hit in the vital parts as much as possible. However, his skills were swift, and even a very short reaction time was enough to deal with it.

"Use all your tricks."

Zhou Jing kept a few points in mind, temporarily suppressed it, and did his job first, shouting loudly.

Everyone was forced by his aura and was awe-stricken for a while.

The experts from the various sects gritted their teeth, stabilized their minds, and once again stepped forward to challenge him, continuing the wheel strategy to exhaust Zhou Jing's strength.

However, this move had little effect. After paying the price of more than a dozen defeats, everyone helplessly discovered that Chen Feng not only showed no signs of exhaustion, but became more and more courageous in battle.

After the forty-seventh expert was defeated by Chen Feng's spear in less than ten moves, no one stepped forward again. No matter how the various sects tried to persuade him that Chen Feng was at the end of his rope, the remaining experts insisted on not stepping forward.

--Just kidding, this person doesn't look like he's at the end of his rope at all. I think he can fight for another whole day. Even if we all fill in, it won't be enough for him to swing.

With so many lessons learned from the past, the experts really could not see any hope of defeating Chen Feng and did not want to go up and get beaten.

Although they did not want to die, it still hurt.

A careless move could lead to serious injuries, and they would not be able to get out of bed for several months, which would not be worth the loss.

Zhou Jing saw that everyone was hesitating and no one was responding, so he urged:

"What are you standing there for? Who's next?"

The expressions of the sect leaders were ugly. They wanted to step forward in person, but they were not confident that they could defeat Chen Feng. They were the face of a sect and could not afford to lose easily.

The sect leaders discussed in a low voice for a few words, and then Luo Zhen came out, cupped his fists with a gloomy face and said:

"Chen Village Master's skills are heaven-defying, invincible in the world, we admit defeat!"

Zhou Jing grinned when he heard this: "You're not fighting anymore? Grandpa hasn't had enough fun yet!"

Luo Zhen endured his anger and said in a deep voice: "There's no need to compete anymore. Chen Village Master is the well-deserved number one expert in the world!"

They had already discussed it just now, and they had to put this title on Zhou Jing no matter what.

Although it would complete the other party's prestige, with their "official certification" that this person was the number one expert in the world, the result of this grandly held martial arts conference that ended in a great defeat could lose a little less face.

After all, losing to the "number one in the world" was easier to accept than losing to an ordinary martial artist... This was still the inspiration they got from Zhuo Jianchen.

It had to be said that the old seniors were old seniors, and they could always give people inspiration.

The Golden Steel Sect Master was depressed, and felt grudgingly resentful that Chen Feng was proficient in his sect's skills.

Stealing was a great taboo in the Jianghu. According to the rules, his hands and feet should be broken and his martial arts should be abolished. However, they had no way to deal with Chen Feng, and this was just a trivial matter in Chen Feng's many deeds. After weighing the situation, the Golden Steel Sect had to swallow its anger for the time being.

Seeing that the various sects admitted defeat, the Jianghu people present were in an uproar and their emotions were agitated.

The eight major sects joined forces to create such a big formation, what a huge force, but in the end they admitted defeat to one person, and together admitted that the other party was the number one in the world.

The onlookers present were all clear that this news would shock the world. After witnessing this event that would be recorded in the history of the Jianghu, everyone was surprised and satisfied, feeling that their trip was worthwhile.

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and was about to say something when he suddenly realized that the panel had moved.

[Milestone Achievement [Number One in the World] Completed]

[You have received 10,000 Star Realm Points, 150 Information State Particles]

[You have received [Aptitude Improvement - Comprehensive (Medium)], [Aptitude Improvement - Martial Arts (Large)]]

[You have received [Auxiliary Function Upgrade] x3]

[Apostle No. 4 "Chen Feng" has obtained the additional trait [Martial Arts Genius] - When this apostle uses martial arts skills, he can exert stronger power in actual combat]

'Whoa, it's finally done!' Zhou Jing was immediately overjoyed.

This wave was twice the result with half the effort, and he had to thank the eight major Jianghu sects for funding the martial arts conference, gathering the Jianghu guests from all over the world, and jointly witnessing his suppression of the experts from the major sects. The record was so brilliant that it instantly filled the progress of the milestone.

The rewards were very generous, and Zhou Jing almost wanted to study them immediately, but the current occasion was not suitable for distraction, so he temporarily suppressed his interest.

After completing this long-awaited achievement, Zhou Jing's mentality suddenly relaxed a lot.

He closed the panel, glanced at the crowd, and smiled:

"Okay, since everyone has admitted defeat, then we should talk about the prizes."

"What prizes?"

Luo Zhen and others were stunned.

Zhou Jing pointed his finger: "I have remembered which sects challenged me just now, one by one. Since you are willing to admit defeat, then obediently hand over your own secret manuals as prizes for losing the bet."

"What?"

"We didn't agree to this bet. Don't quibble!"

The sect leaders' faces changed drastically.

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes: "You set up such a formation to deal with me. If I lose, I have to return the secret manuals, but if you lose, there is no cost? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? The bet is two-way. Since the bet you set is the secret manuals, then if you lose, you should also hand over the secret manuals in your hands."

"Absolutely impossible!"

The people from the various sects refused without hesitation.

This condition was unacceptable to any sect present.

...Except for the Wu Shan Sect.

In the agitated crowd, Lin Song was silent, but instead had a kind of carefree ease.

Anyway, their family assets had already been leaked out. Their Wu Shan Sect was now a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

Luo Zhen said in a deep voice: "You won today's martial arts competition, but don't push your luck! No one is your opponent in a one-on-one fight, but it doesn't mean we are afraid of you. There are thousands of Jianghu fellows here. Do you want to risk the world's disapproval and continue to trample on the Jianghu rules in full view of the public?"

With more people, they had more courage. When the various sects heard this, they echoed and scolded angrily.

"You have a wolf's ambition. It's a fantasy for you to plot the secret manuals of the various sects!"

"Thief, don't be greedy after getting a bargain!"

"That's right, you dare to be presumptuous here? Get out of here quickly!"

Faced with the accusations from the various sects, Zhou Jing remained unchanged.

He casually threw away the White Tassel Spear, pulled out the iron-plated Dragon Spear that he had previously stuck in the ground, stroked the pure iron spear shaft, shook his head and said:

"It seems that I can't stop here today. As expected, the old buddy is still easier to use."

The mountain stronghold lackeys who followed this trip immediately drew their swords with a clang and formed a battle formation.

Seeing this, the disciples of the various sects also drew their weapons to confront each other.

The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense.

The Golden Steel Sect Master gritted his teeth and shouted at the many Jianghu people watching the excitement:

"Fellow Jianghu fellows, this Chen Feng has a wolf's ambition and wantonly tramples on the rules. How can the Jianghu allow this kind of evil and reckless villain to do evil wantonly? Everyone, let's go together!"

He used the rules to say things, thinking that he could get a response from everyone, or at least let most people stand on their side and get support.

However, he was surprised to find that many Jianghu people did not respond after hearing his words. Instead, they stepped aside, not intending to intervene, and at the same time showed subtle expressions.

What was flickering in these people's eyes was not the same hatred as the various sects, but a strange enthusiasm and a faint look of covetousness.

The corners of Zhou Jing's mouth curled up slightly.

This situation was one of the possibilities he had expected.

After all, most Jianghu guests sounded good when they were in the Jianghu, but in fact they were just wasting their time. In their lifetime, they might not be able to come into contact with superior martial arts. They could only practice some farm tricks over and over again. Most people practiced until they were old, and they were only second- and third-rate figures.

And the appearance of himself, a "generous" person who "broke" the concept of sects and spread martial arts everywhere, was not necessarily a bad thing in the eyes of the vast majority of Jianghu guests - or rather, they were happy to see it!
