Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2191

Zheng Yang’s trial required one to challenge the Dragon’s Tail, Dragon’s Body, and Dragon’s Head … Every single trial was guarded by someone with a higher cultivation than him. If he wanted to clear the trial, he would have to defeat all of them. The trial that Feng Jiu Ge was speaking of was clearly lacking in comparison.

Even though the trial would be slightly more difficult for him to clear, if he used the formation well, he would be able to boost his strength instead!

Take Feng Jiu Ge for example. The more formidable the formation was, the greater the backlash he would suffer once he found the flaws in it.

Just like a spring, the greater the pressure, the more resilient it would be.

“Once we set up the formation, Feng Jiang will have to take part in it. Even though there was a difference in our strength two years ago, it wasn’t that big of a difference. However, he has been cultivating diligently for the past few years, and I’ve been weakening all this while … It’s already difficult for me to defeat him in a duel, let alone with the eight of us forming a formation together …”

Feng Jiu Ge’s voice was laced with uncertainty.

Due to his injuries over the past two years, he had been unable to receive any resources from the clan. In terms of battle prowess and battle prowess, he was far inferior to the young man before him.

Not to mention, the young man before him wasn’t even the strongest of the nine.

It could be said that if he were to challenge the trial, he would surely die.

Seeing the state that Feng Jiu Ge was in, Zhang Xuan smiled encouragingly. “Jiu Ge, do you believe in me?”

“Of course!” Feng Jiu Ge nodded.

If not for this teacher of his, he would have been crippled forever.

It was the other party who had given him hope, so how could he not believe in him?

“Since you believe in him, accept his challenge and participate in the trial of the Nine Phoenix Grand Formation,” Zhang Xuan said.

“Accept?” Feng Jiu Ge was stunned. “But teacher …”

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems,” Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

“Alright!” Seeing how confident his teacher was, Feng Jiu Ge took a deep breath and waved his hand to stop the two young men before him. “There’s no need to make a move. I’ve decided to challenge the trial!”

“Challenge the trial?”

Everyone was stunned. Feng Jiang thought that he had heard wrongly. “Are you certain?”

Even though he had said those words earlier, he didn’t think that the other party would agree to it.

After all, this was something that only those who were nearing the end of their lifespan would do. Why would a twenty-year-old Celestial God realm pinnacle cultivator commit suicide at this point in time?

“Yes!” Feng Jiu Ge said.

“It seems like not only have you recovered your cultivation, you’ve also regained your strength. Let me see if I have the qualifications to do so …”

Feng Jiang sneered, and with a stomp of his foot, he rushed over.

As a high-tier Celestial God, he was only half a step away from becoming a God King. As soon as he made his move, the air in the courtyard froze, and the energy of the world began to flow madly.

“To think that you would be able to comprehend the Godkings to a certain extent. As expected of an expert from the Fiery Phoenix Clan …”

Zhang Xuan nodded to himself.

In terms of strength, the young man before him might not be a match for Ao Hua of the Sky of Cloud Dragon, but his every move harnessed the power of the heavens. It seemed like he had comprehended the power of a God King to a certain extent.

If one couldn’t find a weakness, it would be extremely difficult to win.

Seeing his attack, Feng Jiu Ge broke out in cold sweat.

It was true that Zhang Xuan had made a huge breakthrough in his cultivation, but he had been dejected for two years. Not only was he unable to adapt to his new powers, his comprehension of the Power of Heaven and Earth was also far beneath that of the other party. If he were to continue fighting, his chances of victory would be slim.

Peng! Peng!

In just a few blows, he was already at a disadvantage. Even though he wasn’t severely injured, he was no longer a match for Zhang Xuan.

“How dare you challenge the Nine Phoenix Grand Formation when your strength is beneath mine?” Feng Jiang harrumphed coldly. “You sure don’t know your place!”

“I …”

Feng Jiu Ge halted his attacks and looked at Zhang Xuan with a look of humiliation.

Even two years ago, he might not have been able to clear the Nine Phoenix Grand Formation, let alone now. He really couldn’t understand why his teacher insisted on having him compete with him.

“I’m indeed not a match for you in my current state. Can you give me two hours? I guarantee that I’ll be able to clear the Nine Phoenix Grand Formation within two hours!” Seeing through Feng Jiu Ge’s worry and doubt, Zhang Xuan didn’t bother replying. Instead, he turned to Feng Jiang and asked with a smile.

“Who are you?”

Feng Jiang frowned.

He had thought that the other party was one of Feng Jiu Ge’s subordinates, but considering how young he was, it was clear that he wasn’t.

“I am Feng Xuan, a member of the side family of the Inferno Phoenix Clan. I’m here today to participate in the selection round,” Zhang Xuan replied calmly.

“Feng Xuan?” Feng Jiang was stunned for a moment before harrumphing coldly. “How dare a member of the side family boast so arrogantly?”

The members of the side family usually had weak bloodlines. Even if they were on par with one another, they wouldn’t be a match for a core disciple. Yet, a fellow who had never entered the Inferno Phoenix Clan actually dared to boast like that.

“So what if I’m a member of the side family? No one has ever said that a member of the side family is inferior to a core disciple, right? “Zhang Xuan sneered.

“A bunch of nonsense! You’re just exaggerating! Men, take this boastful fellow down as well! “Feng Jiang bellowed.

Huala!

The two young men from before swiftly rushed forward to grab Zhang Xuan’s left and right hands. However, before they could even reach him, the young man had already appeared right before them with a slight jolt, and he shook his shoulders twice in a row.

Peng peng!

With two deep groans, the two young men were sent flying. Their faces paled, indicating that they had sustained significant injuries.

“Hmm?”

Feng Jiang narrowed his eyes in astonishment.

He could do what the other party had just done as well, but he wouldn’t have been able to do it so easily.

Could it be that … this young man from the side family was stronger than him?

“It’s no wonder why you dared to boast so arrogantly. Let me see what you have up your sleeves then!”

Feng Jiang bellowed coldly as he raised his hand to grab Zhang Xuan. Just like how he had fought Feng Jiuge earlier, he sealed off the surroundings and suppressed Zhang Xuan with his might.

His move carried the might to suppress the heavens and earth.

“It’s good that you used this move. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it to you later on …” Zhang Xuan turned to Feng Jiuge and said, “This is the move that he used against you earlier. Let me show you how you should retaliate with your current strength!”

After saying those words, Zhang Xuan took a step forward as well, and when he was five meters away from Feng Jiang, he abruptly stopped.

As soon as Zhang Xuan stopped, Feng Jiang’s attack immediately became much more difficult to deal with.

Even though Zhang Xuan was able to reach Feng Jiang’s attack, it felt as if the flow of energy had been severed, causing its might to weaken significantly.

Feng Jiang’s palm art drew on the power of the heavens and earth, and Zhang Xuan’s position was the mingmen of the battle technique. Once he found the mingmen of the battle technique, he would have no choice but to rely on his own cultivation.

However, as expected of one of the top experts of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, Feng Jiang’s reaction was swift. He swiftly drove his zhenqi without any hesitation.

This time, instead of drawing on the power of the heavens and earth, he was using his own zhenqi.

Over the past two years, he had cultivated to high-tier Celestial God realm pinnacle with the help of countless resources. While he was still a distance away from reaching God King realm pinnacle, he was still not an opponent that most cultivators of the same cultivation realm could hope to match.

In fact, it was hard to say whether Qi Yue from the Qi Clan would be able to withstand his attack.
