Chapter 978 - Let’s Compete to See Who’s Faster

“With Senior Brother Lei Yan taking action, that brat has nowhere to run. I’d like to see if his mouth stays just as stubborn and foul then!”

“

Hmph

, I hope Senior Brother doesn’t kill that brat quickly. He should humiliate him ruthlessly and make him kneel and beg for mercy to soothe our hatred!”

“That’s right. He’ll have it too easy if he’s killed just like that. We must humiliate him ruthlessly first. We should cripple his cultivation and leave him as trash!”

“Rest assured, Lei Yan will definitely not kill this brat so easily.”

The Sun Moon Divine Sect’s experts were very confident in Lei Yan. They believed that Chen Fan would pay the price for his earlier words very soon.

Zhu Yue and the others heard the discussion of the Sun Moon Divine Sect members, and he mocked with a cold smile, “A bunch of idiots!”

“What? What did you say? How dare you call us idiots!”

The Sun Moon Divine Sect members were enraged at once. They glared at him, their killing intent surging.

“What are you looking at? I meant you. Who else? A bunch of windbags, useless trash!” Zhu Yue remained unfazed by their murderous stares.

“Damn it!”

“You’re courting death!”

“These people from the True Martial Academy are too damn arrogant! I can’t take it anymore!”

Immediately, a third-level Manifestation realm expert from the Sun Moon Divine Sect stepped forward and descended on another battle platform in the center. He glared at Zhu Yue and said, “You impertinent brat, come up if you dare, the loser dies!”

“Hoho, who’s afraid of you!” Zhu Yue sneered coldly. He swept toward the other party, his eyes flickering with a chilling light.

Swish!

Simultaneously, Jian Qi also went toward the last battle platform in the middle. He looked at the Sun Moon Divine Sect members and said coldly, “Three battle platforms in the middle—two are taken. Leaving the last one empty would be dull. Who among you dares to come up and meet your end?”

Boom!

The arena erupted like a tsunami.

Countless gazes fell on the three central battle platforms.

No one expected things to turn out like this.

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Originally, Lei Yan had challenged Chen Fan; before their fight began, another Sun Moon Divine Sect expert rushed up to the battle platform and taunted the True Martial Academy’s Zhu Yue. Jian Qi then seized the last battle platform, openly provoking the sect’s disciples.

What a spectacle!

At Jian Qi’s words, the Sun Moon Divine Sect disciples were seething—smoke practically pouring from their seven orifices.

How insolent of him, to tell them to go up and die!

“Brat, you’re too arrogant!”

Immediately, a first-level Manifestation realm expert with lightning surging on him tore through the air like rolling thunder and descended on Jian Qi’s battle platform.

With this, the three battle platforms were filled.

“This... This...”

“A good show is about to begin. But who’s stronger at the same level—the Sun Moon Divine Sect or the True Martial Academy?”

“Hard to say. Both forces are overlord class, recruiting one in ten thousand geniuses—each a standout among their peers. A clash between them is like a meteorite striking the earth, an unstoppable force against an immovable object.”

“I still favor the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s disciples more. The central continent is the heart of the Tianwu Continent, rich in talent and superior resources. Compared to the other four continents, everything there is a cut above."

“Exactly! Five of the nine overlord forces are based there. The competition is much fiercer than the other four continents. The Sun Moon Divine Sect’s disciples are definitely stronger.”

“Right, these people are all disciples of the Heavenly Lightning Hall and cultivate the art of lightning, their attack power is off the charts.”

The arena buzzed with murmurs.

“Junior Brother Rong Hui, don’t throw the face of our Sun Moon Divine Sect’s Heavenly Lightning Hall!”

“Ye Kongfan, don’t disappoint us.”

The Sun Moon Divine Sect members cheered for their fighters.

On the contrary, Huang Wuji and the others remained calm and silent, watching as if Chen Fan and his companions had nothing to do with them.

“Your Highness, who do you think will win in this battle?” Lin Xian’er asked Zhuge Mingyue.

Zhuge Mingyue answered confidently, “Our True Martial Academy will win all three matches.”

“

Hmph

, you sound very confident, Your Highness, but when you get slapped in the face later, don’t blame me for not warning you, as your older cousin. This life-and-death battle was your side’s idea,” Zhuge Yan said coldly.

Zhuge Mingyue ignored Zhuge Yan.

Chen Fan and the others would lose?

What a joke!

Were the Peerless Peak members truly peerless in every sense of the word? No. But, at the same cultivation level, they were definitely peerless!

At this time, Zhu Yue’s voice rang out—not loud, yet instantly silencing the arena’s clamor.

“Seventh Junior Brother, Eighth Junior Brother, just sending these losers to the underworld is too dull. How about we make a game of it?"

Countless gazes fell on them, their eyes flickering.

The battle was already at a boiling point, yet they still had the mood to play? Were they taking this life-and-death duel too lightly?

“What do you have in mind, Sixth Senior Brother?” Chen Fan replied indifferently.

Jian Qi didn’t have an opinion either.

Zhu Yue smiled and said, “Hmm... let’s see who can kill their opponent first. How about it?”

“Alright.” Chen Fan and Jian Qi nodded one after another.

Meanwhile, Lei Yan and the other two nearly exploded with rage.

They had wondered what kind of "game" Zhu Yue had in mind. Unexpectedly, it was a race to see who could kill their opponent first. This was too disrespectful toward them. This was a blatant show of contempt toward them.

How vile!

They were too vile!

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, incomparably terrifying auras surged from Lei Yan and the other two like towering waves. Incredibly icy killing intent blossomed from them.

They would answer this humiliation with overwhelming force.

“Kill!”

“Go to hell!”

All three of them cultivated the power of lightning. Lightning surged around them, with lightning dragons roaring. Each strike was infused with their deadliest power, aiming to end the fight in one move.

“Haha, first place is mine!” Zhu Yue laughed as he also sprang into action.

Clasping his hand, a saber appeared in his grasp, condensed from his true primeval, and he slashed at his opponent at once.

Jian Qi also put his fingers together like a sword and pointed forward. A streak of sword qi tore through the air.

As for Chen Fan, he sent out a palm strike toward Lei Yan.

Northern Star Reaper Hand.

A palm with three fingers crashed down like pillars of the sky, crushing the air and shaking the heavens. It was as if the world itself was collapsing.

Following an earth-shaking rumble, terrifying shockwaves erupted from the three battle platforms at the same time.

However, the shockwaves subsided very soon.

The crowd looked over with fixed gazes.

Lei Yan had already vanished from sight.

Rong Hui trembled twice. A thin, crimson line appeared on his body—then, with a sickening rip, he split cleanly in half.

As for Ye Kongfan, a bloody hole appeared at his glabella, with a hint of fresh blood emerging.

The entire arena quieted down at once.

All three of them directly killed their respective opponents in one move.
