Chapter 2083 - 2068: Who's the Real Failure?

It is well known in the Jian Family that Jian Yi had just stepped into the True God Realm a few days ago, and his talent and battle power are quite impressive.

Yesterday, he defeated the grandson of Great Elder Jian Shan, Jian Yinn, becoming the second-best talent under the age of twenty in the Jian Family.

However, despite this, everyone in the Jian Family still does not believe that Jian Yi can contend with Ying Yi of the Ying Family.

After all, that is a genuine True God, and Ying Yi is inherently an extraordinary genius with exceptional battle power.

"Jian Yi has stepped into the Nine-star Demigod level, and after defeating Jian Yinn yesterday, he's become so inflated that he won't listen to advice at all."

Someone from the Jian Family commented as they watched Jian Yi resolutely float toward the Battle Platform.

"Jian Yi going to fight Ying Yi is merely to send himself to his death! Alas, he has just started showing his talent, and it seems he will perish soon. It's really a pity."

"Indeed, why is he stirring up trouble at this moment? It's not like we don't have anyone in the Jian Family."

"Exactly! We still have that peerless evil demon in our Jian Family!"

...

From the murmurs of the Jian Family members, it was clear that no one had faith in Jian Yi.

And with Jian Yi's keen hearing, those murmurs naturally reached his ears as well.

At this very moment, Jian Yi's expression suddenly changed. His face became extremely cold, even revealing a hint of ferocity, and he coldly said to himself:

"You short-sighted fools, you will soon realize how foolish your thoughts are. You will understand who the true genius is!"

The next moment, Jian Yi's eyes fixated on the figure on the Battle Platform, and he coldly stated, "Ying Yi, the genius of the Ying Family! Hmph!"

...

"Hmm?" Shi Feng, who originally intended to ascend the Battle Platform, paused upon seeing Jian Yi going up. However, upon taking a closer look at Jian Yi now, Shi Feng noticed that he felt a bit different from last night.

"That woman's Sword Slave!" As Shi Feng muttered these words to himself, he turned his gaze toward the spectator seating some distance below, looking at that red figure.

Shi Feng was seated quite close to the front, while the red figure was in the section reserved for the Jian Family's collateral descendants, far away.

Just as Shi Feng looked toward the red-clad woman, their gazes met as if the woman had been watching him the whole time.

Then Shi Feng saw that seductive face suddenly smile at him.

Shi Feng frowned and then pointed downward, asking Jian Ran beside him, "Who's that woman in red?"

Shi Feng remembered that last time, when he asked Jian Ran who the woman in red accompanying Jian Yi was, Jian Ran replied: Jian Yi was alone, and there was no woman in red!

"Hmm? Which woman in red?" Jian Ran's expression suddenly shifted upon hearing Shi Feng's words, responding.

When Jian Ran answered, her heart suddenly trembled, and an unsettling premonition surfaced, as she thought to herself:

"Could it be that he's taken a liking to another woman?"

Despite today being an important Martial Arts battle, Jian Ran couldn't forget being with Jian Wan yesterday.

From last night until now, Jian Ran's mind had often envisioned the image of them walking at "Heavenly Sword Lake" under the setting sun with Jian Wan.

Such a poetic and picturesque scene, yet one that made Jian Ran's heart ache.

At this time, a white light suddenly flashed above the head of the red-clad woman as Shi Feng directed his thoughts, a brief flash that likely went unnoticed by Jian Tong and those around her.

However, Jian Ran saw that white light, and Shi Feng said to her, "That woman in red sitting beside Jian Yi's seat."

"Sitting beside Jian Yi's seat?" Jian Ran furrowed her brow even more deeply upon hearing Shi Feng, responding, "Beside Jian Yi's seat, there's no woman in red. That's obviously our Jian Family's Jian Nie."

Jian Yi left the Battle Platform, leaving his seat empty, and in Jian Ran's view, the seat to the right of that empty spot was occupied by Jian Nie in blue, a collateral descendant of the Jian Family.

The seat to the left was also empty, always unoccupied.

Indeed, in that entire section, Jian Ran couldn't find any woman in red as Shi Feng described.

Even when she scanned the area, she didn't see any woman in red clothing in the Jian Family today.

"There is no woman in red; you must be seeing things. Young and already seeing things." The nearby Jian Ji, who had been listening to Shi Feng and Jian Ran's conversation, spoke up.

At this moment, hearing the words of Jian Ran and Jian Ji and glancing at the sisters, Shi Feng felt a sudden realization, thinking to himself: "So it's true!"

Jian Ran indeed couldn't see the mysterious woman in red!

And Jian Ji was the same.

"What kind of evil magic did this woman use?" Shi Feng pondered quietly.

He could sense that his ability to see this woman was not due to his strong soul power.

...

With a "bang," Jian Yi's figure fell onto the Battle Platform with a fierce and powerful momentum, landing before Ying Yi. Holding a silvery, snake-like Divine Sword, brimming with menacing Sword Force and a freezing sharpness that seemed to chill everything, he pointed directly at Ying Yi with a cold shout:

"Fight!"

Ying Yi looked at Jian Yi with an expression of utter coldness, speaking with an ice-cold tone: "Get lost! Trash, you dare to fight me?"

After Ying Yi finished speaking, he completely ignored Jian Yi, pointing a finger at the highest observation platform of the Jian Family, directly at Shi Feng, shouting loudly:

"You! Get down here! How dare your Jian Family send such a worthless person to fight me, Ying Yi? It's simply sending them to their deaths, an insult to me, Ying Yi!"

Ying Yi's loud shout reverberated in the heavens and earth.

And Ying Yi's words, heard by countless people, didn't strike them as inappropriate; indeed, sending such a Nine-star Demigod from the Jian Family to fight him was courting death.

But for Jian Yi, being looked down upon and called "trash" was an endless insult, especially under everyone's watchful eyes!

"Ah, lowlife, you court death!" With a cold shout, Jian Yi swung his silver Divine Sword, an immensely sharp silver beam rushing toward Ying Yi.

"Looks like you, trash, truly wish to die!" Seeing the Jian Family "trash" not retreating but instead calling him a "lowlife, courting death," even attacking him, Ying Yi's already cold demeanor turned frosty.

Then, facing the silver beam cleaved by Jian Yi, Ying Yi not only remained unretreated, but didn't even reveal his Divine Artifact, instead forming his right hand into a claw and directly reaching forward.
