Chapter 71

"Nobody around?" Zheng Shiying scanned the surrounding bushes and said, "Have you never heard that the Enforcement Hall people like to hide in the shadows?"

The incident last time had reminded Zheng Shiying that he had offended the Enforcement Hall! Those guys were always thinking of ways to capture him, so it was possible that they might send people to monitor places where he might appear.

Zheng Shiying wasn't sure if there was anyone monitoring this time, but his intuition told him it was better to call out first.

With that thought, Zheng Shiying directly shouted to the surroundings, "People from the Enforcement Hall, I've already seen you! You're all around here, if you don't come out, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Zheng Shiying's shout was extremely loud, and Tian Kun's face darkened. The Enforcement Hall... If there really were people here... Even if the matter could be resolved, it would likely require a significant bribe! Could it be that there really were people from the Enforcement Hall?

If that were the case, the situation would be difficult to handle, and everyone hid their weapons behind their backs.

One breath, two breaths... ten breaths passed, and the surroundings remained quiet. Neither did anyone from the Enforcement Hall appear, nor did any disciples come to watch the commotion.

Zheng Shiying sighed. It seemed... today... the people from the Enforcement Hall were not following him as they usually did.

"Kid... scaring people with the Enforcement Hall?" Tian Kun smiled sinisterly and waved his hand, saying, "Kill him!"

As soon as Tian Kun's voice sounded, several people, wielding sharp weapons, rushed straight at Zheng Shiying!

The one leading the charge was the fat, big-eared martial artist who had reported to Tian Kun and later couldn't find Zheng Shiying, earning him several scoldings from Tian Kun.

The fat man had long harbored a belly full of anger. Hearing Tian Kun agree to kill Zheng Shiying, he naturally couldn't miss this good opportunity, leading the charge to Zheng Shiying, and with a horizontal slash, a bright, large knife appeared before Zheng Shiying.

The cold wind brought by the sharp blade made people's faces ache.

Seeing this, the others who hadn't yet reached Zheng Shiying all showed a look of surprise. This blade technique was fierce! Even if it couldn't kill him, it could at least entangle him!

Tian Kun's small eyes narrowed, and his face was full of satisfaction. These little brothers all had good combat strength, several of them reaching the eighth level of the Qi Wheel Realm. Even if Zheng Shiying was good at fighting, he was still just one person!

"I wonder how many good things are in the Swallowing Heaven Bag."

Tian Kun was full of anticipation for Zheng Shiying's Swallowing Heaven Bag.

"Idiot!" Zheng Shiying coldly spat out two words. In his eyes, the blade that seemed as swift as lightning to others was like an old man on his deathbed, moving slowly.

Tenth level! Perfect tenth level!

In the entire Xuanming Sect... no one had ever perfectly carved the tenth level!

Eighth level? In front of the tenth level, the threat posed by an eighth-level martial artist was not much greater... they were all so weak!

The Shadowless Blade in hand! Zheng Shiying's wrist flicked up, bringing a streak of blinding white light.

Late to act, but first to arrive!

The white light from the Shadowless Blade quickly sprayed red liquid from the fat man's neck, and a head rolled in the air.

"Thud!"

The fat man's body fell to the ground with his head.

"This..." Everyone was stunned by the sudden scene, "What a fierce blade..."

"What a fast blade..."

None of the people, including Tian Kun, could see how Zheng Shiying had drawn his blade.

Fast! Tian Kun knew Zheng Shiying's blade was fast, but he never expected that after not seeing him for several days, the fast blade... was even faster!

Scared! Tian Kun had never thought he would truly fear Zheng Shiying!

In the past... it was merely a sense of caution! He was deeply cautious about Zheng Shiying's future development, but he had never been afraid!

Now... Tian Kun was afraid! That fast blade... could truly threaten his life!

The person who just died... Tian Kun knew his combat strength very well! He had almost reached the ninth level of the Qi Wheel Realm! Tian Kun had to put in some effort to defeat him in several spars.

Killed with one blade? Tian Kun felt a chill, one blade to finish that guy. This could only mean that Zheng Shiying's combat strength was far superior to his own.

If he continued to tangle with him... he would be killed by this kid here! Tian Kun didn't hesitate, turned around, and walked away! He completely ignored the little brothers still rushing towards Zheng Shiying.

"Idiot..."

Zheng Shiying sighed again as he watched the dozen people rushing towards him, and he raised his blade to meet them. The dozen lives disappeared in the blinding white light of the blade.

The dozen lives were too fragile in front of the tenth level, and they were quickly killed.

Zheng Shiying observed the surroundings and found that Tian Kun had unrighteously abandoned his companions and chosen to escape on his own.

"Tian Kun is not a good person. If he fails to kill me this time, if I let him live, he will find a way to deal with me."

Zheng Shiying frowned and thought deeply. Keeping Tian Kun alive would always be a threat, and he must kill him.

Zheng Shiying walked forward for a while but still couldn't find Tian Kun, and he couldn't help but marvel at how fast this guy could run.

"Run? Can you run away?"

Zheng Shiying smiled coldly and looked at the main peak of the sect: "I still know the rules of the风云榜 (Fengyun Board)."

Xuanming Sect's rules! If a disciple on the Fengyun Board is challenged, the challenged person must accept the challenge! Even if they admit defeat, they must go to the Fengyun Platform!

Otherwise, they will not receive any resources from the sect in the future! Furthermore, the ranking on the Fengyun Board is a symbol of honor. If the challenged person lacks the courage to accept the challenge, how can they continue to mix in the sect?

As the tenth-ranked disciple on the Fengyun Board, Tian Kun was extremely concerned about his reputation. If he were challenged, could he not go to the life-and-death platform?

Thinking of this, Zheng Shiying no longer searched for him and walked towards the main peak of the sect with his hands behind his head: "Good! I'll kill you in front of as many people as possible! I think it will also deter some people who want to cause trouble for me, right?"

Being on the Fengyun Board means receiving resources from the sect, so there are always challengers challenging the people on the Fengyun Board every day.

Therefore, the Fengyun Board is even busier than the life-and-death platform, with a large number of spectators almost every day.

The disciples who often watch the battles here can already judge from the faces of the newcomers whether they are here to challenge the Fengyun Board, or just to watch the commotion, or to learn something from the battles.

When Zheng Shiying appeared in the Fengyun Platform area, the old-timers immediately judged that this person was completely different from those who came to watch the battles.

"Who is this guy! Looks like he's going to the Fengyun Platform?"

Looking at the direction Zheng Shiying was heading, which was exactly the Fengyun Platform, the old-timers were very curious. Most of the people who challenge here are relatively famous in the sect. This guy's attire looks like a new recruit, so why would he come to challenge?

"New recruit also comes? This kid is too confident! How many new disciples can squeeze into this ranking? Last year's new disciples, only seven or eight have entered the ranking so far! And most of them are at the bottom of the list."

"Moreover, those seven or eight people were already somewhat famous before entering the sect. So, it was inevitable that they would enter the ranking!"

"But have you seen this kid before?"

Everyone was guessing Zheng Shiying's identity, but... soon they all shook their heads and sneered, "An unknown nobody, how would we know him."

Zheng Shiying didn't care about their gazes and quickly came to the Fengyun Platform, leaped up onto it.

"He really went up to the Fengyun Platform!"

The eyes of the old-timers watching the battle all lit up at this moment.

"When did new recruits become so arrogant? It's clearly not time for ranking battles, yet he goes up to the Fengyun Platform? Does he really think he has the strength to defeat the 100th-ranked person?"

"Looks like this kid doesn't know that the 100th-ranked person, even if they are the weakest, has reached the eighth level of the Qi Wheel Realm. How could a new recruit defeat them?"

"A new recruit dares to challenge the 100th-ranked person, it's an insult to the 100th-ranked person. If he can't defeat them, I think they might very well kill him!"

The old-timers, based on their experience, all made almost the same judgment. In their view, a disciple who had been in the sect for less than three months, like Zheng Shiying, had no chance of entering the Fengyun Board!

"I challenge the 10th-ranked Tian Kun!"

A thunderous roar echoed on the Fengyun Platform.

Challenging the 10th-ranked Tian Kun!

This short sentence sounded like a thunderclap in the ears of the crowd.

"Did I hear wrong? He said he wants to challenge the 10th-ranked Tian Kun on the Fengyun Board? This kid's brain must be broken! Tian Kun has already reached the ninth level of the Qi Wheel Realm and is known as one of the strongest in the sect!"

"This... is equivalent to seeking death, right?"

The ranking on the Fengyun Board is very strict. The difference between two ranks is significant, let alone a difference of nearly a hundred ranks.

The initial shock of the crowd quickly turned into ridicule.

As senior disciples in the sect, even if some had entered the Fengyun Board, they didn't dare to hope to enter the top ten, because those who made it to the top ten were all prodigies!

A guy who had been in the sect for less than three months, opening his mouth to challenge the 10th-ranked Tian Kun, could only be described as an idiot?

An old-timer openly ridiculed, "Overestimating oneself! Last year's most promising new disciple, Ye Song, could only rank 55th on the Fengyun Board!"

"Can you be better than him? Opening your mouth to challenge the 10th-ranked person on the Fengyun Board!"

"Ah... these new recruits are really getting out of hand, not knowing their place! They dare to challenge anyone, it seems there will be a murder on the Fengyun Platform today."

The news of Zheng Shiying challenging Tian Kun on the Fengyun Platform spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of the outer sect.

The outer sect disciples who heard the news surrounded the Fengyun Platform in layers.

Even some of the top-ranked disciples, who rarely showed up, unexpectedly came here.

Anyone who dares to challenge the 10th-ranked person... often represents that the challenger has extremely strong combat strength! It also represents that they might threaten the disciples ranked before the 10th.

As a result, no matter how busy the people on the list were, they would come to watch this battle.
