Chapter 1041: Provocation (Please Subscribe)_1
By the time Xu Sheng made it onto the Martial Arts Stage, enthusiastic shouts from the disciples of the Duanmu Clan filled the air!
Xu Sheng was their last hope, and naturally, they focused all their attention on him…
"Elder Xu, show them how formidable you are! One against three, so what, you can definitely do it!"
"You must win, if even Elder Xu loses, then our Duanmu Clan will have utterly no chance left!"
"Elder Xu! Come on! Elder Xu! Come on!"
Xu Sheng only glanced casually at these shouting disciples of the Duanmu Clan, and then, he turned his gaze to the three elders before him…
As he sized them up, they were also sizing him up…
One of the elders, looking at Xu Sheng's youthful face, exclaimed in surprise, "To think you've reached the Immortal Monarch Realm at such a young age, no wonder you are able to fight for the Duanmu Clan!"
Another elder said with a cold sneer, "Kid, let me tell you the truth, our three great families have this duel in the bag already. If you don't want to suffer, then obediently leave the stage when it's time!"
"Exactly! That way, maybe you could preserve your position as an elder! Of course, if you insist on courting death, we won't show any mercy!"
With a smile still on his lips, Xu Sheng said lightly, "Are you three elders so certain of your victory?"
Upon hearing Xu Sheng's pointed words, the pupils of the elders all narrowed quietly…
"Do you really think you can defeat the three of us on your own? Don't be delusional! This isn't child's play!"
"I'm dying of laughter! Even Duanmu Lian couldn't counterattack under the assault of three Immortal Monarch-level opponents, what makes you think you can?"
"It seems you have some talent, but your brain doesn't seem to be working right. Such a disappointment that our final opponent is a weakling like you!"
They had shamelessly joined forces just to win this duel, but now upon reflection, it indeed seemed unnecessary!
The elder responsible for overseeing the duel, of course, heard Xu Sheng's words, and a spark of fire ignited quietly in his dull eyes…
From Xu Sheng's speech, he detected no fear or solemnity, but a sense of ease instead!
Could it be that he was so confident about this duel?
Otherwise, why would he provokingly challenge the three allied elders from the start—a bad move in the eyes of any rational person!
With this thought, he felt even more certain of his guess!
Though this was on his mind, he still had to do what was necessary and announced loudly, "The third round of the duel will start in three seconds. Please prepare yourselves, elders!"
As the words fell, Xu Sheng still wore a calm expression on his face, which made the three opposing elders become even more vigilant…
This guy was able to remain composed in the face of the three of them. He must have some tricks up his sleeve. They absolutely couldn't underestimate him!
"Begin the duel!"
Without any hesitation, the three elders each unleashed their Spirit Force Fluctuation, fixing their gazes firmly on Xu Sheng…
With a hint of amusement, Xu Sheng said, "Oh? All three of you are this wary against just me? I'm afraid you'd be too ashamed to say it out loud, right?"
He still thought
Unable to stand the taunting any longer, one of the elders, with a livid face, retorted, "Hmph! It's all just smoke and mirrors. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Then, his figure surged forth as he shouted angrily, "Heavenly Ranked Superior Martial Technique, Dragon Scale Shattering Claw!"
His arm gradually became enveloped in horrifying black scales, and within a matter of seconds, they had completely covered it…
Following that, a terrifying power within the red glow began to seep out, aiming for Xu Sheng's head, and it slammed towards him…
The force was so strong that it stirred up the surrounding winds, easily whipping up Xu Sheng's hair. Just as his head was about to be struck by the punch, Xu Sheng shouted coldly, "Lower-grade Immortal Technique, Reincarnation Nine Heavens Step!"
With a loud "Bang!" the Xu Sheng whose head had been hit shattered into sparkling particles, but in a few seconds, he eerily restored himself to his original form!
Seeing this, the other two Elders both sneered coldly, "Interesting, just like that woman, his first move is an Immortal Rank Martial Arts technique. He really isn't afraid of death!"
"Is this kid simple-minded? The spiritual power consumption of Immortal Rank techniques is incomparable to that of Heavenly-tier!"
All they had to do was wait for his spiritual power to drain, and even without a duel, they could win!
However, the Elder who witnessed Xu Sheng shatter and then restore himself couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Damn it! What kind of martial technique is this? He was clearly shattered by me!"
The restored Xu Sheng, still holding his arms with a smile, said, "Is this the attack of an Immortal Monarch-level expert? It feels like I haven't been hit at all!"
Intending to retreat, the Elder was once again infuriated by these words, and he barked, "You're looking for death!"
With that, he began to furiously unleash martial techniques, bombarding Xu Sheng…
But no matter how much he bombarded, the Xu Sheng before him would only shatter and then recover, not sustaining a single effective blow!
After several minutes, a sense of despair appeared on the Elder's face, and he stared blankly at Xu Sheng's figure, muttering, "What... what kind of martial technique is this? Why can't I hit him at all!"
Just then, the other two Elders also noticed some small details and loudly warned, "Look at that shadow on the ground!"
At this proclamation, including the disciples watching the battle, everyone's gaze turned towards the ground…
They saw that the ground had, at some unknown time, gained a pitch-black shadow, which appeared quite conspicuous!
The shadow slowly condensed and formed a human figure, which was none other than Xu Sheng's true body!
The discovered Xu Sheng, his dark pupils unfazed, said calmly, "I was found so quickly, the observational skills are indeed impressive. But I'm curious, Elder, how does it feel to keep punching the air?"
Instantly, a rich intent to kill quietly emerged in the hearts of the three Elders!
"Damn it! This guy is a bit weird! You two join me in the attack!"
"Kill him for daring to humiliate us like this!"
"Now that his true body has been found, he definitely can't be our match!"
Having said this, the three Elders attacked from three different directions, rushing towards Xu Sheng…
…
Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo, watching from below, were both shocked by the Immortal Rank technique Xu Sheng used...
Duanmu Lian pursed her lips, her voice trembling, "Has Xu Sheng learned this kind of Immortal Rank Martial Arts in just one day?"
He had not even practiced a Heavenly-tier Martial Technique until recently!
Next to her, Zhou Qingruo also felt that her entire worldview was being challenged by what she was seeing...
She pondered in her heart, "This... how is this possible, to learn an Xianjie-level technique in just one day..."
But the next moment, a possibility came to her mind!
