Chapter 980 - Sun Moon Divine Sect’s Prides of Heaven

“Such insolence!”

The faces of the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s disciples turned ashen.

They were all burning with anger at the trio’s provocations.

When had they been provoked like this before? This was public humiliation—not just for them, but for the entire sect.

A chilling light erupted in Zhuge Yan’s eyes. He said coldly, “I respect your extraordinary combat prowess, but my junior brothers and you gentlemen from the True Martial Academy are all guests. Even if your combat prowess triumphs theirs, killing them without hesitation is too cruel. I’m afraid I won’t escape punishment if I don’t explain this to the sect.”

“Why speak so grandly?” Zhu Yue smiled mockingly and said, “Since we have already said the word, let your people come and die. No need for excuses or theatrics. What’s the point?”

Zhuge Yan’s expression became so ugly that he could vomit blood.

He’d planned to take the moral high ground before sending people two or three levels above the trio to fight them to restore the Moon Divine Sect’s dignity.

Even though Chen Fan and the others have already said the word, sending people up without comment would still invite accusations of bullying the weak, even if they won.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yue saw through his plans and exposed them. He even spoke out to mock him, turning him into a joke—how infuriating.

Zhuge Yan’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. “Since Brother Zhu has made his point, I’ll hold my tongue. Even if we lose some face, we must fight on. We must win this battle no matter what. If your side wishes to seek revenge after this, you can continue to challenge our experts.”

He turned to his fellow disciples and said softly, “Senior Brother Tan, Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Mu, I will need you to fight for our sect’s honor.”

Swish, swish, swish.

With that, the three stood up, cold killing intent radiating from them.

“For the honor of our sect, we must fulfill our duty.”

The three stepped forth and flew over to the battle platform.

“That is Tan Feng, right? Seventh-level Manifestation realm? I heard that he carries a hint of a special bloodline that enhances his power near lightning. He’s well-known in the central continent.”

“That’s right, I’ve also heard of Tan Feng. He’s definitely among the best in the seventh-level Manifestation realm. Zhuge Yan must be determined to deny Chen Fan any chance.”

“Forget Tan Feng! Zhao Yue and Mu Tianhang are also famous. One at the first and the other at the third level—both are among the best at their respective levels.”

“Yes, all three are prodigies of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, with extraordinary strength.”

“

Tsk tsk

, it seems like Zhuge Yan is not being polite at all for the sake of the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s face.”

“Hoho, why bother with politeness? Since they’ve already spread the word, Zhuge Yan will naturally send out his strongest. There’s no need to hold back.”

“......”

Evidently, Tan Feng and the others had some fame on the central continent. Many recognized them as soon as they stepped forward.

“We will definitely win this battle!” The Sun Moon Divine Sect’s disciples’ eyes flickered.

They were full of confidence in this battle.

Their confidence didn’t just come from Tan Feng and the others' higher cultivation levels—it was also because the trio were among the most exceptional at their respective levels.

These three had great fame among the hundreds of thousands of Sun Moon Divine Sect disciples and were potential Legendary realm experts.

“Hahahaha, good, this is good. That match earlier wasn’t even able to warm me up. Now it’s gotten a little interesting.”

Zhu Yue looked at his opponent, Zhao Yue, who had a rather burly figure and exuded a sharp aura. Lightning crackled around him like jagged blades.

“Seventh Junior Brother, Eighth Junior Brother, we couldn’t determine the winner earlier. How about we continue for this match?” Zhu Yue said to Chen Fan and Jian Qi.

“Sure.”

“No problem.”

Chen Fan and Jian Qi answered.

“What insolence! They’re too outrageous!”

The Sun Moon Divine Sect’s disciples were enraged once more.

Meanwhile, on the battle platforms, Tan Feng and the others unleashed thunderous auras, their eyes glowing with lightning that turned into tangible bolts, ripping through space like serpentine lightning.

“Kill!”

Without further words, the three erupted in unison, their auras exploding like lightning.

Immediately, the battle platforms were enveloped with thunderous power, as if it would tear the very heavens and earth apart.

In a flash, they struck at Chen Fan and the others, their movements a blur.

If it had been before, they would’ve considered it beneath them to attack those weaker than them.

But today, they were itching to use their fiercest methods to shred Chen Fan and the others to pieces to wash away their humiliation.

“It’s started!”

The crowd’s eyes widened in shock as their hearts raced.

Tan Feng shot forth like lightning, instantly arriving in front of Chen Fan.

He thrust his palm, the strike forming a pitch-black seal tinged with magma’s glow, blasting silently toward Chen Fan.

Immediately, a boundless heavenly might descended, shrouding Chen Fan.

However, a sharp light burst out of his eyes. Balling his hand into a fist, he unleashed a punch, its force like a flood dragon, breaking through everything.

Rumble!

This punch was wild and domineering, incomparably ferocious. It tore apart the pitch-black palm seal blasting toward him. Next, it surged toward Tan Feng, creating a deafening explosion in the air.

Tan Feng’s expression changed instantly, surprised to see his attack getting neutralized so quickly. The residual force of the attack left him in shock, his mind reeling from the power he’d just encountered.

He sent out another palm strike immediately. Another pitch-black palm force with lightning power blasted out, shattering the remnant force of Chen Fan's flood dragon fist.

Simultaneously, on the other two battle platforms, Zhao Yue and Mu Tianhang also unleashed their powerful attacks, bombarding Zhu Yue and Jian Qi.

However, Zhu Yue and Jian Qi also tore their attacks apart, unable to pose any threat to the two.

Tan Feng’s trio had gained no ground in this exchange, prompting shocked exclamations from the crowd.

To put things into perspective, Tan Feng’s trio were all two or three levels above their respective opponents. Even though Chen Fan’s trio possessed extraordinary combat prowess and could instantly kill experts in the same cultivation level, it was almost unthinkable that Tan Feng’s group couldn’t land a blow.

However, the crowd knew that this was only the beginning. The attacks from Tan Feng’s trio were mere probing attacks; they did not use their full strength at all. Once they did, it was unlikely that Chen Fan’s trio could mount any defense.
