Chapter 739: His Lowly Life Is So Tenacious
After hearing about Xiang Shaoyun and seeing the Di Alliance people leaving safely, the Overlord Legion was filled with rage. They were all hot-blooded youngsters. Xiang Shaoyun was their leader, and with what had happened to him, it was as if their faces had been slapped. How could they let it slide?
As for the Di Alliance, they had long viewed the Overlord Legion with enmity. Moreover, they believed that the Overlord Legion could not pose a threat to them. Thus, they had always looked down on them.
The two factions had been hostile with each other, and Xiang Shaoyun\'s incident was akin to a fuse that would spark a war between them. However, with the Dragon Phoenix Academy elders around, they would not get their desired war here.
"Whoever wants to get into a fight, this elder will send you back inside. You can fight as much as you want in there," said a Dragon Phoenix Academy elder.
His voice reverberated throughout the air above the disciples, allowing each of them to hear him clearly. With that, the Overlord Legion and the Di Alliance shut their mouths, no longer daring to do anything.
Situ Yan did not forget to provoke them one final time before leaving with the Di Alliance. "Hmph. Consider yourself lucky. The next time we meet, you won\'t be this lucky."
"Who is that woman?" Tang Longfei asked someone beside him.
"She is probably the granddaughter of Elder Situ, a previous generation elder. She\'s also Di Lin\'s senior sister," someone replied.
"No wonder she\'s so arrogant. But we can\'t let this slide," said Tang Longfei as he gnashed his teeth.
He was clear of the hatred between Xiang Shaoyun and Di Lin. All along, Xiang Shaoyun had been showing a tough stance. Not even Di Lin dared to face him personally. And yet here, he had suffered a loss.
Tang Longfei was filled with sorrow, not knowing how he should explain this to his father. He only hoped that Xiang Shaoyun could create yet another miracle and survive from the fatal danger.
Perhaps it was because the Di Alliance was too eager to brag, but news of Xiang Shaoyun being trapped soon spread. It created a big commotion among the disciples.
"Xiang Shaoyun was trapped inside? Well, that makes things interesting."
"Is that even possible? Xiang Shaoyun is definitely stronger than Di Lin. How can he be trapped?"
"I heard the Di Alliance used a saint weapon to trap him. He won\'t be able to escape this time. What a pity."
"Xiang Shaoyun holds a nine-star physique, yet he was stubborn and insisted on training nine powers. What a waste of his potential. I suppose this end is a form of release for him."
...
Unsurprisingly, even after a large majority of the disciples left, Xiang Shaoyun was still nowhere to be seen. More importantly, signs of the Gleamstar Blessed Land breaking apart had already appeared with the cracks in the air. At any time, the restricted space would be completely destroyed.
The expressions of Tang Longfei, Lady Shura, and the others were ghastly. Even Han Chenfei, Han Qianwei, and Han Xuewei, who had left the restricted space not long ago, had ugly expressions when they heard the news.
They had not imagined that something would happen to Xiang Shaoyun during the mission. Unfortunately, they could do nothing but inwardly pray for a miracle. Just as the restricted space was about to collapse completely, Xiang Shaoyun and Ouyang Chuanqi charged out of the exit.
As the two approached the Dragon Phoenix Academy assembly point, they attracted the gaze of everyone there.
"Th-the overlord is back!" an Overlord Legion member gasped.
At that, the Overlord Legion grew excited. As for the Di Alliance, their members had expressions of disbelief, especially Di Lin and Situ Yan.
"I-impossible! The Spatial Suppression Diagram is a counterfeit saint weapon. Not even regular Sovereigns can break through its entrapment. How did Xiang Shaoyun manage to break free?" Situ Yan cried out in alarm.
Di Lin\'s eyes burned with fury as he said, "This damnable bastard! His lowly life is so tenacious!"
He had tried killing Xiang Shaoyun multiple times. Each time, he had failed. This was quite a big blow for him.
After Xiang Shaoyun and Ouyang Chuanqi arrived at the assembly spot, Xiang Shaoyun looked at Di Lin\'s group and smirked, "I\'m really sorry to disappoint you. Remember to prepare a better saint weapon next time. The Spatial Suppression Diagram is quite terrible."
"You...you..." Situ Yan was so infuriated she almost spat blood. She couldn\'t even speak properly.
"You don\'t have to be so cocky. You can escape once, but you won\'t be able to escape twice," said Di Lin indignantly.
As a response, Xiang Shaoyun pointed at Di Lin and shouted, "Di Lin, get your ass out here. With everyone as witness, I hereby challenge you to a battle to the death. Do you dare accept my challenge?"
He spoke loudly, his voice clear for all to hear. The domineering presence he exuded caused everyone to feel fear in their hearts.
Xiang Shaoyun was no longer the same person. Every word and action of his emanated an extraordinary bearing. He was starting to show the qualities of an ambitious hero.
Nobody had seen the challenge coming. Now, everyone was waiting for Di Lin\'s response. This was not the first time Xiang Shaoyun had challenged Di Lin. Back then, Di Lin had avoided the challenge and had sent his subordinate Zhu Changchuang with the excuse that Xiang Shaoyun was not a worthy opponent.
Now that Xiang Shaoyun was challenging him right to his face in front of so many people, he no longer had a way out.
"Very well. I accept. We shall fight to the death," said Di Lin with a resolute look.
Previously, he had avoided the challenge because he lacked the confidence to win. Now, he had consumed a large amount of dragon liquid to reach fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun was still stuck at second-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. What was there to fear?
"Haha, finally, you\'re acting like a man. Not bad, not bad at all. Good, everyone here shall be the witness. We will fight to the death. Get your ass out here," said Xiang Shaoyun as he howled with laughter.
Just as Di Lin was about to step forth, the same academy elder spoke, "I shouldn\'t interfere in a challenge, but we have just left the restricted space. I need to bring you all back to the academy first. You should consider dueling once you\'re back at the academy."
The elder spoke as if he was giving them a choice, but the tone he used allowed no disobedience. It was at that moment that the restricted space completely collapsed.
Rumble! Rumble!
A series of terrifying explosions erupted as the empty space before the crater collapsed into itself, and cracks appeared on the ground. The scene was dreadful, as if the world was ending.
Even though the people from the Dragon Phoenix Academy had retreated far away, they could still sense the powerful explosions.
"Everyone, retreat. The shockwaves are coming," the elder commanded urgently.
