It did not cross his mind that Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang would be able to block his attack in time although he was quick with his attack. He was certain both of them must have been prepared. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to reach him in time and block his attack.

When Xu Cen thought about this, he clenched his teeth in anger.

He hated this! He hated that he could not kill Li Feng to avenge his grandson.

Meanwhile, the spectators who were struck dumb by Xu Cen attacking Li Feng regained their senses as well and broke into a commotion.

“Isn’t the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion too arrogant?” Many people stared at Xu Cen furiously. Most of these people were from other sects and sectless cultivators. However, there was also a group of people from the Rising Sky Mansion who felt a burning heat on their faces.

No matter what, the rules of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle had clearly stated that killing and deaths were allowed. It was not an issue if someone had died. If one could not accept the loss, one should not even participate in the first place. Since one had already decided to participate, one should be able to accept one’s loss.

As members of the Rising Sky Battle, they felt ashamed of their Grand Elder’s action as well when they saw him ignore the rules of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle and could not accept his loss.

“So many people had died earlier, and Xu Cen didn’t act this way. However, he actually violated the rules when his grandson died.” Many people mocked him.

“That’s right! Earlier, when his grandson killed that sectless cultivator, he was still smiling brightly. He didn’t think his grandson overstepped the line at all. Now that his grandson died, he didn’t even think twice before violating the rules. It’s obvious he only cares for his grandson’s life and disregards everyone’s life!”

“So much for being the Grand Elder of the Rising Sky Mansion... Ptuii!”

“If news of this spread out, it’s just going to embarrassed the Rising Sky Mansion!”

The spectators discussed among themselves. They were no longer careful with their words when they spoke about Xu Cen and said whatever came to their minds.

Xu Cen’s earlier action had obviously infuriated the people present on the scene.

“Elder Xu, you’re the Grand Elder of the Rising Sky Mansion... Why don’t you decide on your own how you’re going to resolve this?” Ren Zhong said indifferently as he looked at Xu Cen.

Although his tone was calm when he spoke, his eyes gleamed coldly. It was as though he did not mind fighting Xu Cen if Xu Cen’s next course of action did not satisfy him.

“Elder Xu, I agree with Vice Mansion Master Ren.” Liu Hong Guang stared at Xu Cen murderously. This was an opportunity for him to impress Li Feng, there was no way he was going to miss this opportunity.

Moreover, Xu Cen was indeed in the wrong regarding this matter. Liu Hong Guang and Ren Zhong were merely using this as an opportunity to get what they wanted.

A piercing look flashed in the depth of Xu Cen’s eyes when he saw Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang pressuring him.

However, he knew he was wrong in regards to this matter so he took a deep breath and suppressed the hate and anger in his heart before he cupped his hands near his chest as he faced Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang. “I momentarily lost my mind when I saw my grandson died. That was why I acted the way I did. Now that I think about it, I’m indeed in the wrong. However, since Li Feng is unharmed, can we just disregard this matter?” Xu Cen said humbly in a low voice. At this moment, he had no choice but to act this way.

“Hahahaha...”

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian laughed loudly before Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang could even reply to Xu Cen. He laughed so hard there were even tears in the corner of his eyes.”You said that I’m unharmed? Earlier, if it wasn’t for Vice Mansion Master Ren and Elder Liu who acted in time, I’m afraid I would’ve become a ghost because of you, Elder Xu. Just because you admitted you’re wrong, you want us to disregard this matter of you violating the rules?”

When Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the expression on his face turned even colder. “Is there such a thing in this world?”

“Boy, you better shut up if you don’t want to die!” At this moment, Xu Cen’s cold and threatening Voice Transmission rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears.

“Idiot!” Duan Ling Tian rebuked him immediately when he heard him. “You’re in this kind of situation, and you still dare to threaten me through Voice Transmission? So much for the honor of the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion.”

When Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, apart from Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang whose expressions had turned grave, the crowd of people broke into a commotion as well. Apart from the people from the Rising Sky Mansion, other people looked at Xu Cen even more coldly now.

Under such circumstance, most people would root for the underdog. In this situation, Duan Ling Tian was clearly the underdog.

“Elder Xu, please apologize to Little Brother Li Feng and sever one of your limbs on your own. Otherwise, not only will we disqualify the people from Rising Sky Mansion from participating in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, but we’ll also sever one of your limbs on your behalf,” Liu Hong Guang said coldly to Xu Cen as he took a step forward. This was the result of his discussion with Ren Zhong.

Meanwhile, when Ren Zhong glanced at Duan Ling Tian surreptitiously, he discovered Duan Ling Tian’s expression had relaxed slightly. He could tell Duan Ling Tian was satisfied with this decision, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Cen was horrified when he heard Liu Hong Guang’s words. It would be easy for Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guan to cut off one of his limbs if they joined forces. He would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.

“Don’t both of you think this is a little over the top?” Xu Cen asked in a cold voice.

However, Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang just ignored him. Instead, they stared at him coldly to show their determination.

Upon seeing this, Xu Cen knew there was no way he could get out of this and save his limb. He felt humiliated, but there was nothing he could do at all.

“I, Xu Cen, will remember this,” Xu Cen said coldly as he looked at Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang intently. “I’ll cut off one of my limbs on my own. However, it’s impossible for me to apologize to him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted his right hand and severed his left arm. At the moment when he reached out for his severed left arm, Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang made their moves immediately. The sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

Ren Zhong charged forward and took Xu Cen by surprise, causing his action to slow down considerably. Meanwhile, Liu Hong Guang raised his hand as a blue saber ray appeared out of thin air and destroyed Xu Cen’s severed left arm. Apart from blood, nothing remained of his left arm.

“You...” Xu Cen’s expression turned extremely grave when he saw the two menacing figures had returned to their original position in just a blink of an eye, and there was no chance for him to reattach his left arm since it was completely destroyed.

He did not expect Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang to be so ruthless.

He was confident he could reattach his left arm even if he had cut it off. Naturally, he would need his left arm intact if he wanted to do that.

However, his left arm had been destroyed by Liu Hong Guang. This meant he would have to live with one arm for the rest of his life. How could he not be furious?

When the spectators saw Xu Cen had lost his arms, not only did they not feel any pity for him, but they even took pleasure in his misfortune since he only had himself to blame for this.

Duan Ling Tian’s anger had also subsided a lot when he saw this.

“Elder Xu, you refuse to apologize to Little Brother Li Feng, you really have no qualms of getting the members of Rising Sky Mansion disqualified from the Rising Sky Ranking Battle? You should know as moderators of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, it’s well within Elder Liu and my power to ban the members of Rising Sky Mansion from participating in the battle,” Ren Zhong said coldly as he looked at Xu Cen.

“Hurmph!” When Xu Cen heard his words, he glanced at the nine Ring Masters before he glanced at the people from the Rising Sky Mansion. In the end, he only snorted before he rose up into the air and said to the people from the Rising Sky Mansion, “Let’s go!”

The moment his words left his mouth, he cast a hate-filled glance at Duan Ling Tian before he prepared to leave with the group of people from the Rising Sky Mansion.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, the clouds in the sky above the Nimble Chess Set whirled as two figures appeared. It was two young men. One was standing at the lead while the other stood at the back.

The young man in the lead was wearing a long green robe. He had a wicked expression on his face as killing intent emanated out of his body.

The young man standing behind him had a humpback and was obviously his lackey.

The moment these two people appeared, they attracted the attention of everyone present on the scene.

Many people’s eyes from the Rising Sky Mansion lit up as they exclaimed in surprise, “Young Mansion Master!”

“It’s Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion!” The crowd’s attention was focused on the wicked-looking young man standing in the lead. They could all roughly guess who he was.

This person was none other than Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.

Not only was Xu Jing unhappy when he saw Xu Jing, but his expression turned grave as well.

Earlier, he had refused to apologize to Duan Ling Tian because he was unwilling to apologize to his grandson’s murderer. The other reason was he did not think any of the members of the Rising Sky Mansion who were present were qualified to be ranked in the Rising Sky Ranking.

The three people who had the abilities to be ranked in the Rising Sky Ranking, including his grandson, had all died. Due to this reason, he did not think there would be much difference even if the members of the Rising Sky Mansion present on the scene were disqualified from participating in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.

Naturally, it was not that he did not think of the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. However, based on what he could see from the Young Mansion Master’s progress previously, even with the great resources given to him, he still could not compare to his grandson, Xu Can.

Moreover, his grandson had died. He was, naturally, unwilling to see the Young Mansion Master make it into the Rising Sky Ranking since this would mean he would become the next Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. He was unwilling to see this happen. Since his grandson no longer stood a chance in becoming the next Mansion Master, he did not want to see the Young Mansion Master become the next Mansion Master.

Due to this reason, he did not care if the members of the Rising Sky Mansion was disqualified from participating in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. However, it did not cross his mind that the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing, would suddenly appear just as he was about the bring the men away.

Now that Xu Jing was here, he could no longer act as he pleased.

“He’s Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion?” When Duan Ling Tian heard the discussion in his surrounding, his gaze instantly shifted to that wicked-looking young man. That man was none other than his target, Xu Jing.
