In almost no time, the news that Meng Tianya of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven was going to challenge the sword cultivator girl spread throughout the Demon-Suppressing City, and everyone who needed to know knew.
They were all basically shocked.
Who is Meng Tianya?
He is one of the Ten Saints of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven, and one of the strongest among all the students of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven!
If he continues to grow, he will surely succeed as the vice dean of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven.
And now, he has actually issued a challenge to that mysterious sword-wielding girl!
The letter was written in arrogant language and was posted directly at the exchange point, where anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
He, Meng Tianya, the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven, challenged her to a duel one day later!
Although this "she" is not named, both the sword-cultivating girl and the information about "refusing the invitation of the Ten Great Saint Heavens " point to one person.
In other words, Qu Youmeng!
Meanwhile, in an inn.
After Liu Xian'er finished recounting the contents of the challenge letter, she couldn't help but purse her lips, her face showing a hint of worry, and her gaze towards Qu Youmeng was filled with deep concern.
She asked softly, "Sister Qu... are you really going to accept their challenge?"
"Actually, we've already gained quite a lot from this Demon Battlefield."
Of course, since it's an active challenge to a bet, there must be a prize involved.
Therefore, what Meng Tianya took out was a pill of quite good quality.
He deeply understood what it takes to move people.
After hearing Liu Xian'er's words, Qu Youmeng confidently curled her lips and said, "What is there to fear?"
" In Sword Dao, I have never lost to anyone except my master and senior sister!"
Besides... what Meng Tianya brought out did indeed move her.
She gained a lot from this trip to the Demon Battlefield. Not only did her cultivation level rise, but her Sword Intent also improved thanks to a good fortuitous opportunity she found.
But that's not enough!
Although she has already obtained the Liu Household's possessions, her own cultivation resources are still severely lacking and far from being secured.
And the conditions offered by Meng Tianya were just right.
That pill was almost enough to make a mid-grade Emperor Weapon, so it was truly precious.
It seems the other party did indeed invest heavily, just to challenge her to a duel.
Since that's the case, what's wrong with her agreeing?
The day passed quickly.
In just one day, a huge arena had been erected in the most bustling part of Demon-Suppressing City.
Countless people gathered here, some nervous, some expectant, and some simply there to see the gossip.
Of course, the Holy Masters of the Ten Great Saint Heavens were no exception.
The Holy Master of the Primordial Holy Heaven also came.
As long as you're in the Demon-Suppressing City, it doesn't matter where you are; there are no restrictions on leaving.
After all, everyone has a sense of curiosity.
Many people are eagerly anticipating the outcome of the match between Meng Tianya, who is already famous, and the extremely mysterious sword cultivator girl.
Although people were well aware that with that girl's talent, she probably wouldn't have a chance to beat Meng Tianya.
--The other party is indeed talented, but Meng Tianya enjoys the resources provided by the Holy Heaven and has accumulated countless tricks over the years.
Even among those of the same realm, Qu Youmeng had killed many four-striped and even five-striped demons, but the title of the strongest genius of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven was not just empty words.
In the entire Holy Heaven Domain, it can be said that apart from a few monsters like Jiang Chengzun, there is still no one who can defeat him.
but...
Nothing is absolute.
The eyes of the Grand Masters of the Great Holy Heaven flickered with complex light, and faintly, there was also a hint of anticipation.
Looking forward to Qu Youmeng's victory!
If she really wins, then it will be enough to prove that her talent is probably no less than that of Jiang Chengzun.
At that time...
Who can defeat this prodigy who is second only to Jiang Chengzun? It all depends on their own abilities!
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the middle-aged Holy Master of the Primordial Holy Heaven.
He sat far away, leisurely playing with the jade bird in his hand, seemingly indifferent to everything.
He came here simply out of curiosity.
As for taking in a prodigy?
He would like to!
But we also need to consider whether our own Holy Heaven is competitive among the other nine Holy Heaven!
The Primordial Holy Heaven has always been a runner-up.
This time, the middle-aged master did not expect there would be any exceptions.
Amidst the expectant or tense gazes of the crowd, a woman dressed in black quickly appeared on the arena.
She was dashing and spirited, with a cool smile on her lips. Her gaze swept lightly over the audience. Both her demeanor and appearance were highly admirable.
Opposite her, a man in yellow leaped up – it was Meng Tianya!
However, when he looked at Qu Youmeng, his expression held a hint of disdain.
After seeing this so-called second Jiang Chengzun in person, he realized that the others had indeed exaggerated somewhat.
She was only at the Emperor Realm level. Even if she had good talent in Sword Dao, it couldn't hide the fact that she had only recently entered the Emperor Realm and was not even at the Perfect Emperor Realm.
This level of cultivation is truly too weak!
Does someone like this deserve to be called the second Jiang Chengzun?
Even he wouldn't have dared to put on such a grand show back then!
At such a young age, with his cultivation level and unproven talent, he's already vaguely being hailed as the second Jiang Chengzun. What else could it be but a publicity stunt to inflate his own value?
Therefore, Meng Tianya's gaze towards Qu Youmeng now held an added hint of disdain.
He said coldly, "I thought you were so strong, but after seeing you today, you're nothing special."
"Judging from your cultivation level, you're only at the Third Level of the Emperor Realm. Since that's the case, to avoid being accused of bullying the weak, I'll lower my cultivation level to the Emperor Realm First Stage and fight you!"
Upon hearing what the other person said, Qu Youmeng raised an eyebrow.
This is...
Were you looked down upon?
However, isn't the other party being a bit too arrogant?
They didn't even fight, and instead of suppressing him to the same level as himself, they suppressed him to a level lower than himself?
"No need."
She refused outright, slightly raising her chin.
"Among those of the same cultivation level, only two can defeat me. As for you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qu Youmeng was too lazy to say anything more.
Saying a thousand things and doing ten thousand things is not as good as making the other party realize how weak they are!
Therefore, before she could finish speaking, Qu Youmeng had already drawn her sword.
Almost the instant she drew her sword, an incredibly terrifying Sword Intent surged towards Meng Tianya like a tidal wave. In just an instant, the expressions of the cultivators below the stage changed.
They stared in horror at the girl on the stage, who had judged the level of her Sword Intent with just a glance.
Fivefold!
"At such a young age, she already possesses the Fifth-Level Sword Intent?"
"Hiss... This girl truly lives up to her recent fame!"
It's important to understand that improving one 'Sword Intent is an extremely difficult task for a sword cultivator.
It also requires an extreme amount of talent!
Even many sword cultivators at the Great Emperor Realm may not be able to reach the fifth level of perfect Sword Intent.
However, this mysterious girl actually possesses a level of Sword Intent that even Great Emperor might not have!
How shocking!
Meng Tianya also stared in astonishment at the girl standing in front of him.
At this moment, in his eyes, what stood opposite him was no longer a young girl, but an incomparably sharp sword!
Almost the instant Qu Youmeng drew her sword, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Oh no...
Oh no!
