THE VALLEY OF HELL

Chapter 63. Challenges

The situation in Guancheng city, which is so confusing for residents, is now distracted by the arrival of a male swordsman who looks to be in his 50s.

The warrior now stood on the roof of one of the city's magnificent buildings and began to say using his qi energy.

"Chang Tian's! I'm waiting for you three more days to fight in the fighting arena!"

"We must immediately prove who will be the second strongest swordsman of this Zhong dynasty!"

"Don't until you don't come to serve me, because then, automatically I will be the number two strongest swordsman in this country!" Close the man and disappear immediately.

Indeed the number one swordsman of the Zhong dynasty was one of the ancestors from the Zhenwu sect who was currently conducting closed-door training, he said, so that the man came to challenge Chang Tian who was a peak master swordsman who was half a step away was already able to break through into a great swordsman whose position was as the second strongest swordsman in Zhong Country.

And that challenging man was a swordsman from the Xiao family, namely Xiao Lingchen who also had a cultivation base as a peak master swordsman.

The news quickly spread throughout the city of Guancheng and was immediately greeted with curiosity by all the residents of the city as well as all the warriors.

The news was also heard by Fan Tian as well as Chen Song who was currently hiding from general Wang Zijun.

"It seems like this is our chance to leave this Guancheng town, because their fight will definitely attract the attention of many people and important people in this town." Fan Tian said.

"That's right! However, aren't you curious about the swordsman's second fight?" Dong Huang responded to Fan Tian's words.

"Right what Miss Dong Huang said, in my opinion, by watching their fight, master Zhao Yun can definitely add insight into martial arts." Bei Feiyan added.

"I'm not a swordsman, so why am I watching their fight!? I don't think it's any use to me." Reply Fan Tian was not interested.

"For me the most important thing right now is to be able to leave this Guancheng city unnoticed by general Wang Zijun." Further.

"And the first goal is to get Miss Dong Huang back to her sect, then I will deliver Miss Bei Feiyan as well." Close Fan Tian and immediately go to rest.

The two women could only stare at the young man's back which left the two of them in the guest room of the pavilion they were in.

Not too long later, a soldier came to the pavilion and immediately said "Miss, I was ordered by the Royal Uncle to summon the swordsman Zhao Yun in order to face him."

"Ohh, wait a minute, I'll go to call him." Reply Dong Huang responded.

"Thank you, miss!" Reply to the soldier.

Dong Huang immediately stepped away to the room where Fan Tian was in and called out to him.

Quickly the young man went straight out to open the door of his room and welcomed Dong Huang's arrival.

"What's wrong, Miss Dong? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"You were called the Royal Uncle to face him." Reply Dong Huang.

"It looks like he wants to talk about your relationship with the royal family." Dong Huang.

"It seems so. I've thought about this before." Reply Fan Tian responded.

"All right, I'll go first." Close Fan Tian and immediately leave Dong Huang and pass Bei Feiyan to follow the soldier that Li Zian had sent.

In a magnificent pavilion, Li Jing who was the crown prince of Zhong Country as well as a disciple of Chang Tian immediately went to see his teacher after hearing the news of Xiao Lingchen coming to challenge his teacher.

"Li Jing saluted the teacher!" He cried after arriving in front of his teacher.

"What is it that the Crown Prince came here to see me? Is it related to that challenge posed by Xiao Lingchen?" Chang Tian asked welcoming his student.

"real teacher! My arrival is indeed related to that.so what will the teacher do?" Li Jing replied and asked back.

"I will accept his challenge and will prove that he is not yet fit to shift my position to the second rank as the strongest swordsman." Chang Tian replied seriously.

"If he had already defeated that Qingyin sect master, then he could challenge me, because he was currently the fifth rank strongest swordsman in this Zhong country." Close Chang Tian.

"But it's been these few years that swordsman Xiao Lingchen has been training to improve his swordsmanship, so I'm afraid that he has mastered the highest level of the Sky Breaking Sword skill which is the Xiao family's flagship sword skill." Li Jing responded to his teacher's words.

"Indeed the Xiao family's sword stance was extremely powerful. But to be able to master the eighteenth to the twentieth technique, it was not easy, because first he had to break through to become a great warrior."

"Otherwise, his efforts will still be in vain." Close Chang Tian explained.

"Did the swordsman Xiao Lingchen have broken through to become a great swordsman!?" Li Jing Mumbled.

Hearing the muttering of the young man in front of him, Chang Tian responded again.

"The Crown Prince doesn't have to worry about it, because to be able to break through to become a great warrior, we can definitely figure it out, because the burst of energy that occurred would rise high into the sky so that it could be seen within a radius of tens of miles..."

"And after many people found out about the incident, surely the rumors will soon arrive in this Guancheng city..."

"Unless he cultivates far away from any city or village, so that no one knows of the improvement he has achieved..."

"Until in this land of Zhong, there are only four people that I know myself have broken through to become great warriors."

"And even in that fight I can get hurt, but I can still train you to improve your abilities." Close Chang Tian.

"But I hope, teacher can win the fight so that the position as the second strongest swordsman in Zhong country is still held by teacher." Li Jing replied.

"Ha..ha..ha..ha.ha, it seems like the Crown Prince is too worried about your teacher's big name going down and could affect my status as your teacher..."

"That will not happen, because my ability can only be defeated by the ancestor of the Zhenwu sect, Baili Dongjun." Chang Tian confidently reassured his disciple.

"Alright, I'm currently feeling uneasy after hearing the explanation from the teacher..."

"Teacher! Forgive the student for doubting the teacher's ability!" Li Jing said as she cupped her hands together.

"The Crown Prince need not behave like this, even though I am your teacher, yet you must remember your current status as the successor to the throne of this Zhong Country's kingdom." Said Chang Tian feeling uneasy with Li Jing's attitude.

"Teacher, I don't really want to be a king.in my life I really hope to be an adventurer in this martial world..."

"So I was so envious of the lives of warriors who lived their lives freely without any pressure from anyone."

"What the Crown Prince saw, it didn't match what they felt." Chang Tian interrupted Li Jing's words.

"A warrior also lives their life with great stress, which they must strive to be better than their fellow-schoolmates in order to become a respected swordsman."

"If they cannot be the best, they will certainly not be separated from blasphemy and bully-an other fellow students..."

"So is the martial world, for example, like Xiao Lingchen's challenge to me. That already illustrates the competition in the martial world..."

"So, every position we have in this world, all have challenges to face and have responsibilities as well..."

"A king will surely be loved by his people if he is able to lead his kingdom wisely..."

"Because every citizen must be expecting a good leader..."

"And if one day the Crown Prince becomes a king, one policy can help the poor in large numbers..."

"What do you think of the Crown Prince? Do you want to be a warrior who can help some people? Or become a king and be able to help many people in just one policy!?" Shut Chang Tian up asked.

Li Jing could only fall silent after hearing his teacher's explanation and began to think about his predetermined status to become a king.

"Good teacher! I understand now!" Li Jing said as she cupped her hands together.
