Chapter 427: Life and Death Battle

However, Chu Feng knew that the people from Spirit Sword Valley certainly wouldn't let things slide. They were bound to make a move.

'They're probably plotting something nasty right now.'

"Blood Blade Manor challenges the Wudang Sect!" At that moment, a powerful, resonant voice suddenly rang out, making many people tremble violently.

The speaker was an expert at the Martial Arts Peak Realm. His voice was as loud as thunder, giving many people quite a scare.

'Interesting. Is it finally time for a real fight?' Chu Feng suddenly sat up in bed, a playful smirk spreading across his face.

Someone from the Martial Arts Peak Realm was making a move, and it was from Blood Blade Manor, no less.

This meant the real show was about to begin.

'I bet someone will be coming to challenge me soon.' Chu Feng picked up his Heaven-Slaying Sword and headed outside.

The shout didn't just draw out Chu Feng; it also attracted many others.

After all, the Wudang Sect was a major, extremely famous Sect.

"Hahaha, Brother Chu, it looks like we were wrong yesterday. I can't believe no one has challenged you this time," the Martial Arts Venerable from the Three Swords Sect said with a laugh when he saw Chu Feng appear.

"The people from Blood Blade Manor have some nerve, daring to challenge Wudang," Chu Feng said with a smile.

"They probably won't get very far. Although Blood Blade Manor is powerful, the Wudang Sect is by no means weak—in fact, they might even be a cut above," said the Martial Arts Venerable from the Three Swords Sect.

Those guys from Blood Blade Manor have always been brazen. At their most arrogant, they even dared to challenge a Martial Arts Venerable.

The power of Great Snow Mountain was terrifying, especially with Sects like the Seven Kills Sect and the Celestial Sword Sect. As a result, any Sect, regardless of its size, had to carefully weigh the consequences before challenging the Martial Arts Grand Ceremony hosted by Great Snow Mountain.

That was why Blood Blade Manor didn't directly challenge one of the Great Snow Mountain Sects this time. They all knew Great Snow Mountain was well-prepared; any challenger would be met with a crushing defeat.

In fact, the Sects of Great Snow Mountain were hoping Blood Blade Manor would make a move. It would be the perfect opportunity to put them in their place.

Anyone who could reach the Martial Arts Peak Realm, especially at their age, was bound to be a formidable character.

Given the chance, they would be utterly ruthless with their opponents.

Blood Blade Manor was naturally aware of this. So, despite their arrogance, they didn't dare to go too far and had to maintain a low profile.

Otherwise, their experts at the Martial Arts Peak and Martial Arts Limit would all be slain.

A battle between Martial Arts Peak Realm experts was always the most exciting, so it drew a large crowd. Even that old coot Chu Tianshan came out to watch.

Before long, a group of people in Daoist robes approached. There were at least thirty or forty of them, all dressed in the uniform of the Wudang Sect.

None of them had pleasant expressions; their faces were contorted with fury.

Clearly, being challenged by Blood Blade Manor had enraged every single one of them. They were gritting their teeth, their eyes filled with killing intent.

"You animals from Blood Blade Manor! You dare to openly challenge Wudang? Did you come here to die?" At that moment, a Cultivator from the Wudang Sect bellowed, his voice booming and his aura terrifying.

This was one of Wudang's Vice Sect Leaders. His strength was immense, having reached the Martial Arts Limit, and he was not known for having a good temper.

"Han Hao, do you dare to come up here and fight me?" an old man from Blood Blade Manor across from them said with a chilling voice.

The man wasn't tall and had a very thin frame. He wore a black robe that revealed only a gaunt face. His skin was like cracked, old tree bark, covered in wrinkles—the kind of face that would make children cry.

"Hah! Am I afraid of you? You animals from Blood Blade Manor! Since you dared to come here, don't even think about leaving. You'll all die here! Shadow Blade, you old bastard, you can be the first to go!" the Wudang Sect's Sect Leader roared, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Han Hao, you're courting death! I'll see to it that I cut you down today!" the old man from Blood Blade Manor snarled.

The tension between the two sides was thick enough to cut with a knife, the atmosphere incredibly grim.

"If that's how it is, then I'll grant you your wish," said Han Hao, the Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect.

The battle hadn't even started, but the animosity between the two was already at a fever pitch.

Both men were at the Martial Arts Limit, their power immense. It was the first time anyone had seen experts of this caliber act so hostilely.

After all, most experts who reached the Martial Arts Limit were no longer interested in common battles.

Their interest lay in how to break through to the next realm.

With that, the two men walked directly onto the battle stage. They had already agreed on the terms: one of them had to die before the other could leave.

In other words, someone had to die. Surrender was not an option.

The only outcome for surrender was death!

This was a duel to the death, with absolutely no room for negotiation.

This caused many of the Cultivators to exclaim in awe. It was the first time they had ever seen experts of this level engage in a life-or-death battle. It was a shocking sight.

Reaching the Martial Arts Limit was an incredibly difficult feat!
