♂?，，

  "Cheers!"

  Looking at the person in front of him, Wang Ting understood.

  This Chang Le, wasn't someone else, but rather he had recently offended a master when completing the Temple quest. The Star Crystal that could be exchanged for the Water of Life, one third of it was forcibly seized from this young swordsman's hands.

  "Alright, now that we've confirmed our target, let's get moving, take him away!"

  Chang Dingfeng finished speaking and directly waved his hand, giving orders to the knights behind him.

  "Halt!"

  Zhou Tianchi stepped forward, his face somewhat unsightly, and said: "Chang Dingfeng, Viscount, this kind of behavior is a bit too much, isn't it? You're not putting us in your eyes at all. Mr. Wang Ting is our guest from the Zhou family, and also a guest of my master, Fang Qianhua Sword Master. If we let you take him away like this today, what face will I, Zhou Tianchi, have to stand in the imperial capital?"

  "Huh?"

  Chang Dingfeng's eyes flashed with a fierce light, his oppressive gaze instantly locking onto Zhou Tianchi: "Baron Zhou Tianchi, how are things? I've already seen it - this young man cut off my brother's arm in the Spirit Clan's temple, ruining his future. This grudge is too deep to be shared under the same sky. You wouldn't want to intervene in our personal vendetta, would you?"

  "It was also said that it was in the Elf Temple! That is to say, during the temple mission, Wang Ting was injured by Chang Le Ge. The temple mission, life and death are not discussed, this is a clear rule for everyone. Even if the matter is taken to the judicial office, we have reason on our side. Chang Le Ge is inferior in skill, who can be blamed?"

  "Am I inferior to others? If it weren't for this little brat taking advantage of our battle with that powerful spirit, launching a sneak attack while we were both wounded, how could I have been injured by his sword?"

  Chang Le's expression was somewhat agitated as he spoke, if it were a fair and open confrontation and he had lost to Wang Ting, the hatred in his heart would not have been so intense, unfortunately, it was an ambush!

  The opponent used a sneak attack to cut off his arm, but it made the hatred and resentment in his heart stronger than ever before.

  "Sneak attack or whatever, during a temple mission, the process doesn't matter, only the result is key."

  "How dare you! Baron Zhou Tianchi, are you determined to stop me from capturing him?"

  If it were in the past, Zhou Tianchi would never have offended the Chang family, a red person in front of the king, for the sake of a Wang Ting. However, after several days of contact, he had deeply seen the potential of this young man in front of him. He was less than 18 years old and had already reached the level of a high-ranking swordsman, capable of killing a great swordsman, and had also mastered the legendary swordsmanship "葬剑术" (Burial Sword Technique) and the quasi-legendary swordsmanship "彻心剑术" (Thorough Heart Sword Technique). With such talent, it was highly likely that he would become a master swordsman in the future. Not only a master swordsman, but after training at the Divine Selection Swordsman Academy for some time, there might even be hope for him to become a legendary swordsman, truly entering the ranks of the world's strongest, becoming an existence that even his own master would have to show respect and admiration for. Such a talented young swordsman with great potential, it was best to establish a good relationship with him before he became too powerful, and the benefits in the future would be immeasurable.

  At this point, Zhou Tianchi's attitude became resolute: "Viscount Chang Dingfeng, anyone must follow the rules and laws to handle matters. Even His Majesty the King has no right to deal with a formal swordsman without any reason. The Chang family has earned the trust of His Majesty, commanding the Yuexuan Swordsman Corps. Does he think that the power in his hands can override the law, doing things that even His Majesty dares not do?"

  "Hmph, our Jade Mystic Swordsmen Corps is in its prime, and we naturally won't disappoint the king's expectations. However, this person cut off my brother's arm, and I must avenge him no matter what. Since you said earlier that my brother was inferior to others in the temple, I'll return those words to you. If this little brat has any skills, let him try to escape from under my nose. If he can't, then it just proves he's inferior again, and he should follow me back to face punishment!"

  "Chang Dingfeng, Viscount, but one of our three great young swordsmen in the imperial capital, with a reputation second only to that of Lie Dongyang, the number one swordsman under the heavens. And yet, he actually wants to take action against a youth who is not yet eighteen years old? Wouldn't this be laughed at by others if it got out?"

  Zhou Tianchi loudly said in his mouth, and was about to argue with Wang Ting for reason and strength.

  But at this moment, Wang Ting suddenly spoke up.

  "Thank you, Mr. Zhou Tianchi, I appreciate your kindness."

  After finishing speaking, he slightly raised his head and his gaze fell on Chang Dingfeng who was riding a fine horse: "The words you just spoke... were they meant to challenge me?"

  "A challenge?"

  Chang Dingfeng's mouth corners floated with a hint of cold smile: "If you're willing, you can take him as a challenge, although I don't think there's anything that qualifies me to challenge personally."

  "Wang Ting..."

  Zhou Tianchi wanted to try again for Wang Ting to avoid this trouble, but Lin Qi's mentor slightly shook his head.

  After these days of contact, he has some understanding of this young man. Although his age is not big, once he makes a decision, others can hardly change it. His will and beliefs are absolutely not influenced by external opinions, words, or advice.

  "Really?"

  Wang Ting gazed at the towering Chang Dingfeng before him, slowly drawing out the sword from his hand: "One of the three most famous swords in the imperial capital, second only to the leader of the Taixuan First Swordsman Lie Dongyang."

  Changding Feng slightly furrowed his brow.

  Only second to Taixuan's number one swordsman Lie Dongyang, these few words were extremely piercing...

  But he had to admit that his swordsmanship was indeed inferior to Lie Dongyang's.

  It's said that during this temple mission, Lie Dongyang's thorough heart swordsmanship has once again made a breakthrough and entered a new realm. He is currently consolidating his skills, and as soon as he does, he will likely issue a challenge to a certain top-level sword master and engage in a legendary battle.

  "It's not like the sun rises in the east for no reason."

  Wang Ting thought of his brief encounter with Lie Dongyang in the Temple Task map, and said.

  "Next, I will use Thorough Heart Sword Technique and defeat you!"

  "Could it be that you know the Eastern Sun's Thorough Heart Sword Technique?"

  Wang Ting's words made Chang Dingfeng's eyes burst out with a cold, piercing light: "Lie Dongyang's thorough heart sword technique, I admit that I am no match for it, however..."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the swordsman who had been riding high on his horse finally dismounted and strode straight towards the royal court. The momentum brought by his descent from heaven formed a strong oppressive force, which made some people with weaker nerves involuntarily take a step back under pressure, thus losing their courage before the battle even began.

  But Wang Ting...

  "Boom!"

  Changding Peak fell steadily and landed one meter in front of Wang Ting, the huge force of the fall actually trampled out many fine cracks on the street paved with bluestone and dolomite.

  "Clang!"

  The sword is out of its scabbard!

  Chang Dingfeng's fighting spirit had reached its peak at this moment.

  "You think you can become another Li Dongyang?!"
