However, even she found the thought of it somewhat absurd.
Although the Revolving Illumination Realm is known as the Grandmaster Realm, those who truly give people the feeling of Grandmaster are those with the highest level of cultivation, and they are all older generation experts!
Gu Chen is only in his early twenties. Even if he is a young Grandmaster, he would never have that kind of aura and comprehension!
"Etc!"
Just then, Gu Chen suddenly spoke.
"What, are you scared?" Wei Aozhong grinned, his smile utterly cruel.
"Afraid?" Gu Chen chuckled, then shook his head, saying, "But since it's a one-on-one fight, the rules need to be made clear. I'm afraid that if your Steel Tremor Sect doesn't follow the rules and gets involved, it will be disadvantageous for me!"
"You bastard!!" Wei Aozhong roared, his eyes flashing with a sinister light, "You mean, if I fight you, someone will still try to ambush you?"
"It's hard to say," Gu Chen said calmly. "After all, I've experienced the disgusting nature of your Steel Tremor Sect firsthand. What kind of schemes and tricks wouldn't you use to scheme against Shennong Grass?"
"You fucking want to die!" Wei Aozhong's face turned red with anger. Over the years, he had never been angry at a junior before. Even when Gu Chen killed Jiang Yi and Yue Mingke of their Steel Tremor Sect, he was still able to remain calm.
But now, Gu Chen's few words have already provoked his fury!
"Me, a member of the prestigious Steel Tremor Sect, do you think I need to have someone ambush you in front of so many people? Who do you think you are? What kind of thing are you?"
"Since we're in front of so many people, let's get this straight." Gu Chen pointed to his chest and said, "Now, it's your turn to challenge me, right?"
"Challenge?" Everyone was speechless again; Gu Chen's words were simply too provocative.
"What do you want?" Wei Aozhong roared, barely suppressing his anger. "Speak your mind!"
"Since we're doing this in front of so many people, let's have a duel," Gu Chen said calmly. "What good would it do me if I defeated you?"
"Hmm?" Wei Aozhong instantly calmed down, then looked at Gu Chen and sneered, "What do you want?"
"If I lose, I can give you the Shennong Grass, and you can even decide my life or death!" Gu Chen said calmly. "Of course, if you lose, I will slaughter your Steel Tremor Sect!"
"The Tu family?" Wei Aozhong was taken aback at first, then looked as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world!
"You think you can take me?" Wei Aozhong said coldly, "We are not scarecrows, to be slaughtered at your whim. Even if you are lucky enough to defeat me, it only proves that I am no match for you. Even if I fall, I still have the sect leader and so many others. To think that my Steel Tremor Sect can be wiped out is simply a dream!"
"What? Are you scared?" Gu Chen laughed. "Or do you think you're doomed to lose and don't dare to fight?"
"Stop trying to provoke me with those words!" Wei Aozhong, a cunning old fox, immediately threw his head back and laughed a few times. Then, his face darkened, and he said coldly, "I understand. You've been rambling on and on, but all you're doing is trying to disrupt my mind and martial will. How laughable! I've lived for so many years, do you think I'd be influenced by a mere brat like you?"
Upon hearing Wei Aozhong's words, the surrounding martial artists suddenly realized that this was Gu Chen's plan.
"Enough with the nonsense." Gu Chen said calmly, "Just say it directly, whether you dare or not."
"Rest assured, in my battle with you, there will be absolutely no third party involved. I guarantee this in the name of the Grand Elder of the Steel Tremor Sect!" Wei Aozhong's eyes turned cold, and he sneered, "However, I want to fight you to the death, and I'm afraid you might back down at the last minute!"
A battle to the death?
The idea of an established figure fighting a life-or-death battle against an unknown upstart seemed absurd, but no one thought so at the moment. After all, Gu Chen was too arrogant, and besides, they were all members of the Steel Tremor Sect, so whatever Wei Aozhong did was right!
"Since that's the case, then I'll give you a chance for revenge." Gu Chen said calmly, "I accept your challenge."
Wei Aozhong gritted his teeth and said, "You brat..."
"I will act as a witness," Yu Sheng stepped forward and said, "On behalf of the Honghe Sect, I guarantee that no third party will appear between the two sides in this battle. Anyone who does so will be considered an enemy of the Honghe Sect! Moreover, their actions will be known throughout the entire martial arts world of Huaxia!"
Honghe Sect?
The crowd sneered inwardly. If it weren't for Zhuge Kun's backing, and Zhuge Kun's backing from the Zhuge Family, they wouldn't have taken him seriously at all.
But Yu Sheng ignored him completely, and instead looked at Jiang Huamei, saying, "Sect Leader Jiang, is there something amiss?"
Jiang Huamei sneered, "This brat killed my cousin Jiang Yi, and just now he barely managed to repel the Grand Elder, so he thinks he's invincible. Since he's courting death, he can't blame us for bullying the weak! I can give the Zhuge Family this face, no objections."
After a pause, Jiang Huamei glanced at Gu Chen with icy eyes and said coldly, "Although this is a life-or-death battle, Elder, you should spare this brat's life. I want to cripple his dantian first and make him suffer endless torment before you take his life!"
"Don't worry, Sect Leader!" Wei Aozhong laughed heartily, suddenly pulled out a long sword, and stood with it raised, as if Gu Chen's life was already in his grasp. He was determined to make Gu Chen pay the price.
What gives a junior like him the right to be so arrogant?
If he can't kill Gu Chen this time, he'll have wasted his time in the Huaxia arts world!
At this moment, as the group spoke, everyone around dispersed to clear a large open space, and Gu Chen slowly walked in, causing the atmosphere to become tense.
In the arena, Wei Aozhong stood angrily, sword in hand, its cold light gleaming.
Wei Aozhong was very confident in himself; after all, he was a renowned expert at the peak of the Middle Revolving Illumination Realm!
Throughout his life, he has dominated the martial arts world. Not to mention those at the Bone-Forge Realm, countless others at the Revolving Illumination Realm have died at his hands! It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the mortal world and is a strongman worthy of being selected for the Dragon Ranking!
And where did Gu Chen, an outcast of the Gu Family and an unknown young man, get the confidence to challenge him?
They're so arrogant and ignorant!
In this battle, Gu Chen is doomed to die. His reckless and impulsive act will inevitably lead to his demise!
This idea wasn't unique to Wei Aozhong. After seeing that Elder Wei Aozhong was serious, even Jiang Huamei and others lost all hope for Gu Chen in this battle.
Gu Chen is indeed a peerless genius, and he has already reached the level of a young Grandmaster at a young age, but no matter how talented he is, his age and cultivation level are still what they are!
In a life-or-death battle, any move can be used, and life and death are no object! With Wei Aozhong's experience, cultivation, strength, and martial arts skills, Gu Chen would have a hard time even if he wanted to fight back. As for defeating him, that's just wishful thinking!
