Chapter 3: Facing the Challenge

he walked back, Jiang Yun said nonchalantly, "Now do you believe me""I believe it!"Nanyun sat down beside Jiangyun with a decisive thud, letting out another heavy sigh without saying a word.And after...Feng Ling's arrogant words caused a slight frown on Jiang Wanli's brow. He seemed somewhat puzzled as to why the other party suddenly wasn't afraid of Liu Tianren anymore.

Before Ginger Wan could even speak, Ginger Mu, standing beside him, eagerly interjected: "Uncle Ginger, what's the point of talking to them I want to see how they plan to bloodbath our Ginger Village!"

"That's right, Elder! Are we still afraid"

"Yun Wa Zi is from our village. Anyone who dares to touch him, has to go through me first!"

Jiang Mu's words immediately caused the surrounding villagers of Jiang Village to agree, one by one they were flexing their fists, gnashing their teeth, and preparing for a battle with Feng Village.

When it comes to fighting, for those living in the Ten Thousand Mountain Range, there is no stranger. Because they must constantly battle all kinds of ferocious beasts if they want to survive here.

This point is evident from the scars that cover Jiang Yun's body. At sixteen years old, he has, without exaggeration, already been through countless battles, even coming close to death several times. Therefore, the people of Mangshan never fear war.

Faced with the impassioned ginger villagers, the Feng Village people naturally wouldn't back down. They roared aggressively, "Let's fight! Today, we're going to make your Ginger Village run red with blood!"

"Those women, don't move. I've heard that the women of Ginger Village are special in their own way, hehe. This time, just right to take a few back and enjoy myself!"

As the crowd between the two villages grew tense, poised for a battle, a powerful voice suddenly boomed, silencing everyone: "Enough!"

Everyone turned to see who was speaking, and they were surprised to find that it was Jiang Yun, who had just squeezed to the front of the crowd.

Ginger Cloud's face was ashen, and a flash of ferocity gleamed in her eyes.

Just as the people of Ginger Village treated him like family, he had long since treated them like his own, considering this place home. That's why he couldn't stand the insults from the people of Wind Village toward his family.

Moreover, all of this started because of him.

Before the age of ten, Jiang Yun was still young. At that time, he could only hide behind his grandfather and rely on his protection. But now, he is sixteen years old. According to the customs of Mangshan, he is about to come of age.

Seeing Jiang Yun finally appear, Feng Ling's eyes lit up instantly. Just as he was about to speak, a sharp whistling sound suddenly echoed through the air.

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind condensed into a sharp blade, appearing out of thin air with no warning and directly shooting towards Jiang Yun. The speed was at its absolute limit.

Magic!

Although he was being attacked right now, seeing this wind blade, Ginger Cloud's heart couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy, because this was a technique only cultivators could perform.

"However, this spell won't harm me!"

A cold light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes, just as he was about to make a move, Jiang Mu on the side struck first, landing a heavy punch on the wind blade.

"Bang!"

The wind blade exploded in an instant, dissipating into the air. Jiang Mu retracted his palm with a cold frost on his face, and his gaze fell on the young man standing behind Feng Ling with a sinister expression. He said coldly, "Feng Wuji, you are at least a mature cultivator who has entered the fifth level of Tongmai, yet you sneak attack a child who cannot cultivate. Are all the people in your Wind Village so shameless"

Although Jiang Yun couldn't cultivate, he knew the first three realms of cultivation. From low to high, they were the Pulse Meridian Realm, the Blessed Land Realm, and the Cave Heaven Realm. Each realm was divided into nine levels.

Although the look of this realm seems merely introductory, once you step into it, it's equivalent to embarking on the path of cultivation. It shouldn't be underestimated, especially for someone like Ginger Cloud who knows that within Ginger Village, those under thirty years old haven't reached beyond the fourth level of Pulse Opening yet.

And the young man before them, called Feng Wuji, was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he had already reached the fifth level of pulse meridian cultivation. He was undoubtedly a cultivation prodigy.

The more so is this the case, for with his status and cultivation, he would actually resort to ambushing Jiang Yun. Such behavior is even more despicable.

A pair of phoenix eyes that slanted upward at the temples gave Feng Wuji's face a touch of androgyny. At this moment, not only did he not feel that there was anything wrong, but a hint of mockery appeared on his face as he said, "When you are hunting, do you greet your prey before making your move"

"You!"

These words instantly sparked the anger of the villagers again. Not only did the other party launch a surprise attack, but they also treated Ginger Cloud as prey, which was a great insult.

Jiang Mu said viciously, "Fine, then I'll make an exception today. Feng Wuji, get ready to die! I'll kill you right now, this prey of mine!"

"Jiang Mu, I forgot to tell you!" Feng Ling suddenly smiled darkly. "Wu Ji has already been taken in as an inner disciple by a senior from the Lun Hui Sect. He'll be heading to the Lun Hui Sect in a few days. If he even loses a single hair, hehe!"

Feng Ling's words were cut short, but the threat hidden within them immediately made Jiang Wanli and others realize the gravity of the situation.

Jiang Mu's face darkened. "No wonder you don't even care about Liu Tianren, so you've attached yourself to the great tree of Luohui Sect."

Feng Ling said triumphantly: "Now you understand, right Even Liu Tianren can't protect you! If you don't want your village to be destroyed, just obediently surrender Ginger Yun, and from now on, pledge allegiance to our Feng Village..."

"Screw your reincarnation sect! Even if they're powerful, they can't control our Mangshan affairs! Chief, we fight them to the death!"

"What the hell is reincarnation I don't believe in it. I'll just kill Feng Wuji right now and see what the Reincarnation Sect can do about it!"

Feng Ling's words immediately reignited the Ginger Clan's fervor. Whether it was sending out Ginger Cloud or submitting to Feng Village, they were both things they couldn't possibly tolerate.

Suddenly, another sound of breaking air rang out. A black light shot from Jiang Yun's hand, piercing straight into the ground in front of Feng Wuji.

At the same time, Jiang Yun coldly said, "Feng Wuji, do you dare to draw this arrow"

The original commotion died down instantly, and all eyes were fixed on the black arrow that Windless was holding.

That arrow was a challenge, representing Jiang Yun's declaration of war against Feng Wuji.

As long as Feng Wuji drew that arrow, it meant he had accepted Jiang Yun's challenge.

In Mangshan's custom, if there is a conflict between two villages, to avoid large-scale bloodshed, both parties mostly resolve it through duels.

A duel is when one party issues a challenge and selects one or more people to compete against each other.

Whether it is a declaration of war or an acceptance of war, each represents their respective village.

Generally speaking, when issuing a challenge, one would look for someone with similar skill level to increase their chances of winning.

Kai Yun unexpectedly challenged Feng Wuji, which surprised everyone.

Because Ginger Cloud couldn't cultivate, being just an ordinary person, though his physique was good and he had entered the depths of Mang Mountain many times, Feng Wuji was after all a cultivator who had already reached the fifth level of Tongmai.

Jiang Yun's challenge to Feng Wuji was like a toddler challenging a muscular adult, seeking his own demise in the eyes of others.

Feng Wuji also was stunned, but then sneered with a smile: "I wonder if you, Jiang Yun, can represent Jiang Village"

"Yun Di, I will fight for you and him!"

A young man almost half a head taller than Ginger Cloud anxiously stepped forward. His name was Ginger Thunder, and he was the strongest among the younger generation in Ginger Village at present, having reached the fourth level of Pulse Meridian Cultivation.

Jiang Mu also lowered his voice and said, "Yun Waizi, you are being reckless. Don't you know how powerful someone at the fifth level of the Meridian Opening stage is You are absolutely no match for him!"

And someone shouted loudly, "Yunwa Zi, rest assured, as long as we are here today, no one can take you away!"

Faced with the concern of the Jiang family, Jiang Yun felt warm inside while also becoming even more determined to challenge. He addressed Feng Wuji and said: "Although I don't represent Jiang Village, I can represent myself, Jiang Yun. If I lose, I will voluntarily leave with all of you!"

"Good!" Feng Wuji suddenly reached out and pulled a whirlwind directly from the ground, plucking the arrow from the earth and placing it in his hand.

Feng Wuji accepted the challenge.precise, only within the lower realm, have indeed been subjugated, having masters, and more than one at that.One is Ji Kongfan, the other, himself! But what does this have to do with the danger the Mi...
