Chapter 24: Provocation and Wild Words

  Idle talk in the wine building, mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings, blowing directly to the wine building's curtains also rustling.

  Three top masters of the Outer Gate Disciples, Song Ting, Fang Jingtao and Yang Houxing, stood facing Yan Zhen.

  Song Ting sneered and said with a condescending attitude: "You're that what's-his-name, Yan Zhen, right?"

  "It's indeed Yan Mouren." Yan Zhen nodded: "I don't know what advice the few seniors have." The two words 'advice' had a slightly heavier tone, with some sinister and strange implications, and the other party was obviously not being polite from the start, so Yan Zhen didn't need to be too polite either.

  "How bold!" Song Ting suddenly shouted, like a thunderclap on a clear day: "Do you know what kind of person Ouyang Song is? He's the cousin of the invincible young master Ouyang Wu Di, who ranks second in the entire inner sect. His skills are unparalleled, his talent is boundless, and he's born to be the main character. The number one disciple of the inner sect, Ling Hu Gong Zi Ling Hu Xiao, has been drowning his sorrows in wine due to a heartbreak and has become extremely depressed. Although Ouyang Wu Di ranks second, he actually holds the real power and has become the de facto first person in the inner sect. Someone like him will at least become the vice leader of our Qing Feng Xian Men in the future, or even possibly the next leader. And his cousin, you dare to kill? Truly bold!"

  "You dare to kill the younger brother of the undefeated young master, and now you've brought upon yourself a calamity. If the undefeated young master were here, your head would have rolled on the ground by now. But even though he's not here, we must still fight for his honor. On April 1st, during the outer disciple competition, the three of us will thoroughly defeat you and make you taste the shame of failure." Fang Jingtang was considered one of the top three experts among the outer disciples, but the gap between him and the second-ranked inner disciple, the undefeated young master, was too great. Fang Jingtang usually regretted not having the chance to flatter the undefeated young master, and now that the opportunity had finally arisen, he wouldn't let it slip by.

  Yang Hu Xing also coldly snorted: "A person who doesn't know life or death, actually dares to provoke the Invincible Young Master. Let me be the one to severely injure you first in the outer door disciple competition."

  The three great masters of the outer sect were now in a state of fury, looking at Yan Zhen with an air that was somewhat like a cat playing with a mouse, as if they had already devoured him.

  In the Idle Chatter Wine House, actually at first, many people didn't know that Ouyang Song was the cousin of the Invincible Young Master. Only a very few people knew about this matter. Ouyang Song usually shouted about relying on himself to strive, so not many people knew about it. Now they were shocked and suddenly realized that Ouyang Song was indeed the cousin of the Invincible Young Master. After learning about this news, everyone's reaction was the same. Yan Zhen actually dared to kill the cousin of the Invincible Young Master, he really was seeking death without limits.

  Many people think that Song Ting's brother said it right earlier. Since Ouyang Song has an invincible uncle like this, then only he is qualified to kill Yan Zhen, and Yan Zhen doesn't have the qualifications to kill him. Even if there was a life-and-death contract, one can only honestly admit defeat. Yan Zhen actually dared to kill Ouyang Song, which really brought about a disaster of epic proportions.

  Many people in the wine building looked at Yan Zhen, all secretly thinking about how Yan Zhen should handle it. He must be very fearful and afraid, many people whispered to themselves. After all, compared to Yan Zhen, the identity status of the three great masters was high above, not to mention that there was an even more powerful and invincible young master behind them.

  ……

  Just as everyone was thinking about how Yan Zhen should respond, Yan Zhen suddenly burst out laughing loudly.

  "Hahaha, hahaha." Yan Zhen laughed so hard that he doubled over, suddenly slapping the table. What's wrong with him, laughing so loudly for no reason?

  Yan Zhen slammed his hand on the table and burst out laughing: "How ridiculous! How ridiculous! It's really too ridiculous!"

  Song Ting, Fang Jingtang and Yang Houxing looked at Yan Zhen with some confusion as he burst out laughing.

  Yan Zhen continued to smile: "Ou Yang Song and I have a deep hatred for each other, we signed a life-and-death contract, and on the sword-fighting platform, we gambled with our lives. Originally, it should be that whoever dies has no one to blame but themselves. If I die, I won't blame anyone, and if he dies, he can't blame anyone either. But now, you three great masters of the outer sect want to take his side and say that I'm not allowed to kill him. Once I kill him, it will stir up endless trouble, and you'll look for me at the outer sect's grand competition. Then, when the Invincible Master returns, there will be even greater calamity waiting for me. You people are turning black into white and reversing yin and yang. To put it bluntly, the reason for all this is that you have power. The three great masters of the outer sect stand at the pinnacle of the entire outer sect, with such power and strength, they dare to shout like this. And as for the Invincible Master, he's even more formidable, ranking second among the inner sect disciples, a major figure. It's precisely because you have power that you dare to turn black into white and reverse yin and yang."

  "What if we are? So what?" Song Ting sneered, he had been one of the top three masters among the outer door disciples for a long time, and he also had an overbearing aura: "This world has always been like this, the strong prey on the weak, we are strong, you are weak, the rules are set by the strong."

  Fang Jingtao didn't say a word and stood still, but apparently also agreed with Song Ting's words.

  Yang Hu Xing also nodded: "That's right."

  "Great, rules are made by the strong, this one is really good." Yan Zhen laughed: "Since the rules are made by the strong, then everything becomes much simpler."

  Yan Zhen said: "The three great masters of the outer door disciples, Song Ting, Fang Jingtao, and Yang Hu Xing, you three are known as invincible in the outer door disciples. If you want to use your power to suppress me and win over me at the Outer Door Disciples' Grand Competition, then come on! I'll take it head-on. I also want to compete with you three at the Outer Door Disciples' Grand Competition to determine who's the champion. Song Ting, I've heard that your magical powers are unmatched in the outer door. At the Outer Door Disciples' Grand Competition, I will defeat you in terms of magical powers. Fang Jingtao, I've heard that your swordsmanship is unmatched among the outer door disciples. I will defeat you in terms of swordsmanship. Yang Hu Xing, I've heard that your footwork is unmatched among the outer door disciples. I will defeat you in terms of footwork."

  "I will thoroughly defeat you." Yan Zhen shouted loudly: "I want you to know that you are nothing but this, and if you want to force me down with strength, you are far from enough."

  "There's also the Invincible Young Master Ouyang, and I must surpass him." Yan Zhen said resolutely.

  "Since the rules are set by strength, the strong can turn black and white upside down, reversing yin and yang. I'm stronger than you, isn't that a simple truth? Hahaha!"

  Yan Zhen's words shocked countless people.

  Is Yan Zhen crazy?

  The three great masters of the outer door - Song Ting, Fang Jingtao, and Yang Huxing. These three are all top-notch in the outer door. No one can match them in the outer door. And now, Yan Zhen actually wants to surpass the three great masters of the outer door, this is absolutely crazy.

  What's even crazier is that Yan Zhen actually dared to shout that he wanted to surpass the Invincible Young Master, this was crazy to the extreme.

  Many people have seen countless absurd remarks, but none of them are as shocking and stunning as Yan's absurd remarks.

  This is simply like an ant claiming it will shake a big tree!

  This is like an egg hitting a rock!

  This is simply a weak arm trying to stop a mighty chariot!

  Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Ridiculous to the extreme! So ridiculous that it's beyond words!
