Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Jump onto the Ring
In fact, Suo Wen had no personal feud with Jing Yan at all.
He had come to Donglin City this time, and the reason he set up a challenge stage with Zhao Yifeng and others outside the Jing Family gates had nothing to do with holding a grudge against the Jing Family.
He was just too arrogant, not taking the Jing Family seriously at all. In his view, what was the big deal about setting up a challenge stage outside the Jing Family’s gates? Dare the Clan Leader and the elders of the Jing Family lay a finger on him?
His master was a deacon of the Divine Wind Academy’s Outer Court. Offending him was to offend his master. Haven’t the Jing Family weighed the consequences of offending him?
Suo Wen didn’t have much of an impression of Jing Yan. But now, he was exceptionally enraged because Jing Yan had not shown him enough respect after learning his identity, instead of flattering him immediately, Jing Yan was indifferent.
This made him extremely discontented!
This Jing Yan deserved to die!
"Suo Wen, actually, I just want to ask you, what the hell are you supposed to be? You said so much, and I didn’t understand any of it." Jing Yan looked at Suo Wen seriously, his face full of curiosity, after hearing Suo Wen’s obviously threatening words.
"Hm?"
"What?"
"Has Jing Yan gone mad?"
Both Zhao Yifeng and Cai Guanglin were waiting for Jing Yan to kneel and humiliate him thoroughly, but they didn’t expect Jing Yan to say such a thing.
Previously, Suo Wen had already stated that he was a disciple of the Divine Wind Academy’s Outer Court Deacon Cang Long.
Dare Jing Yan offend Deacon Cang Long?
Suo Wen’s face suddenly turned as black as ink. Just moments ago, he was able to maintain a sneer and talk down to Jing Yan. But at this instant, all his anger erupted.
Even if he were a fool, he would have seen that Jing Yan was mocking him, not taking him seriously at all. Moreover, he was far from foolish.
"Damned bastard, dare you talk to me like that?" Suo Wen’s aura fluctuated, his primordial energy boiling, staring at Jing Yan with vicious intensity.
Jing Yan’s eyes turned cold as he regarded Suo Wen. At this moment, Suo Wen became a must-kill target in Jing Yan’s heart. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"Jing Yan, you’re seeking death!" Zhao Yifeng also shouted lowly.
"Jing Yan, you reckless thief, you seem tired of living!" Cai Guanglin wished he could swallow Jing Yan alive.
The crowd of watching martial artists was also taken aback.
Suo Wen and the others had set up the challenge stage here for ten days already. Even if, at the beginning, most martial artists didn’t know Suo Wen’s identity, after ten days of spreading and fermenting, Suo Wen’s identity was known to everybody. Everyone knew that Suo Wen was a student of the Divine Wind Academy, and his master was a deacon of the academy.
And now, Jing Yan directly asked the other party, what the hell are you supposed to be?
This was outright insult to Suo Wen! This was a slap in Suo Wen’s face.
In the eyes of these onlookers, it was normal for Suo Wen to humiliate Jing Yan, but Jing Yan humiliating Suo Wen was tantamount to seeking death. Of course, there were people who admired Jing Yan’s courage. Jing Yan, a martial artist in his teens, did not show any fear in front of people like Suo Wen and Zhao Yifeng, which at least showed he had spine.
These people, including Suo Wen and Zhao Yifeng, didn’t know that Jing Yan had ascended to the Innate once again. They all thought Jing Yan was still at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven.
After all, at the recent Jing Family competition that had just ended, Jing Yan, although he had defeated Jing Tianlong, was only at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven, which everyone knew.
"Jing Yan, you better apologize to Brother Suo Wen quickly. Brother Suo Wen is generous and won’t care too much about it," Lin Youshen from the Lin Family advised Jing Yan.
Actually, whether Jing Yan was seeking death had nothing to do with him. However, Lin Youshen did not wish for the Jing Family’s most outstanding disciple to die at the hands of Suo Wen and others, as the Jing Family was an ally to the Lin Family; if the Jing Family’s strength was reduced, it would affect the Lin Family as well.
Lin Youshen was well aware of the shamelessness of people like Suo Wen. If Suo Wen were really provoked, even if Jing Yan wasn’t on the challenge stage or had no intention of fighting Suo Wen, Suo Wen might just kill Jing Yan on the spot.
Suo Wen was a powerful martial artist at the Innate Middle Stage, and no matter how exceptional Jing Yan was, he couldn’t possibly be Suo Wen’s opponent.
"Lin Youshen!"
"I’m very curious, what are you doing here? It makes sense for Zhao Yifeng and Cai Guanglin, these two losers, to be here, but you, Lin Youshen, why are you here?" Jing Yan looked at Lin Youshen.
Lin Youshen was also over thirty years old and was one of the few martial artists in the Innate Realm in the Lin Family. Although he was not yet an elder of the Lin Family, in another ten or twenty years, he would surely become one.
Pressed by Jing Yan’s questioning, Lin Youshen showed an awkward expression, but then he looked at Jing Yan with some annoyance.
Jing Yan wasn’t giving him any face.
Regardless, he was an Innate Martial Artist of the Lin Family, and seventeen-year-old Jing Yan was practically a generation younger than he was. It was natural for Lin Youshen to be annoyed by being questioned so publicly and nearly rebuked by Jing Yan.
"Fine! Fine! I won’t bother with you. Do whatever you want!" Lin Youshen flicked his sleeves and turned his face to the side.
Jing Yan was courting death, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Jing Yan, you really are formidable, ha! So formidable, I haven’t seen someone as ignorant of life and death as you in the Divine Wind Academy. Do you think that if you don’t get on the stage, I won’t kill you? Kid, you’re wrong, terribly wrong; I will kill you, and the Jing Family can’t stop me!" Suo Wen said with a cold voice.
He was ready to kill Jing Yan. After all, with his master Cang Long covering for him, the Jing Family wouldn’t dare to do anything to him. His master was a powerhouse close to the Dao Spirit Realm, at the Peak of Innate, and the strongest warriors of the Jing Family might not be a match for his master.
"Suo Wen, you are also the most reckless thing I’ve ever seen. You think I won’t get on the stage? I’m telling you, you’re wrong to the ends of the earth. Now, I’m getting on the stage. Aren’t you setting up the stage to challenge the Jing Family Disciples? Well, here I come!" Jing Yan’s voice was high, and then with a leap, he was on the stage.
"Suo Wen! I, Jing Yan, on behalf of the Jing Family, challenge you to a duel on this stage where life and death are determined by destiny," Jing Yan said, his gaze narrowing as he looked at Suo Wen.
"I am fighting this wretch Suo Wen. Everyone else, get off the stage!" Jing Yan then turned to look at Zhao Yifeng and the others, who were staring with wide eyes.
Zhao Yifeng and Cai Guanglin really hadn’t expected Jing Yan to actually jump onto this stage. They were both over a decade older than Jing Yan. It would have been understandable for Jing Yan to avoid the fight.
But now, Jing Yan voluntarily jumped onto the stage.
Was this kid really out of his mind? Or was his confidence so sky-high that he thought defeating Jing Tianlong at the Jing Family competition meant he could look down on all Innate Realm Martial Artists?
After taking a deep breath, Zhao Yifeng and Cai Guanglin both sneered and silently walked out of the challenge stage area.
Lin Youshen sighed quietly and quickly left the stage. He had advised Jing Yan, but Jing Yan had not listened; he could only watch as Jing Yan sought his own death.
