398. Chapter 398: An Eight-Two Split

"Bai Nao, do not be unruly. I have already made up my mind to submit to Su Chen. If you truly have my best interests at heart, you should support my decision."

After all, they were her own people; although Ziwei Xianzi lamented that Bai Nao was being irrational, she was uncharacteristically patient in her explanation.

Upon hearing this, Bai Nao could not help but grit her teeth, looking at Su Chen with an expression of defiance.

Behind her gathered many members of the Ziwei Pavilion, all looking at Su Chen with indignant gazes.

A mere human at the Great Saint Realm, by what right did he expect them to obey?

They had stayed in the Ziwei Pavilion for a long time, but they were unaware of what had transpired between Su Chen and Ziwei Xianzi; by the time they learned of Su Chen, the Ziwei Pavilion had already changed hands.

In their hearts, Ziwei Xianzi was at the Half-step Great Emperor realm, capable of turning the clouds and rain across the entire Central Province; there was no need to submit to a man who was merely at the Great Saint Realm! Thinking of this, Bai Nao became even more firm in her convictions.

She cast her gaze toward those behind her, offering a measure of reassurance, and then strode directly in front of Su Chen.

"You say you have the ability to lead the Ziwei Pavilion to better things, then prove it to us now. I don't know what methods you used to make Ziwei Xianzi trust you so much, but if you cannot convince us, I would rather fight you to the bitter end!"

Bai Nao's voice was resonant and forceful, carrying the determination of one prepared to die.

She was now at the Quasi-Emperor Initial Stage, while Su Chen was only at the Great Saint Realm Fifth Layer; dealing with Su Chen would be effortless.

Su Chen had originally not wanted to pay any mind to Bai Nao, but seeing the crowd growing larger and larger, nearly half of the Ziwei Pavilion had arrived.

Perhaps this was an opportunity to make a name for himself.

After all, he also wanted to completely subdue the Ziwei Pavilion and treat it as a part of his own forces; if he killed everyone who refused to submit, then subduing the Ziwei Pavilion would have no meaning.

Moreover, although their actions today were impulsive and reckless, looking at it from another angle, they were all extremely loyal to their sect.

Thinking of this, Su Chen curled his lips into a smile and slowly walked up to Bai Nao.

"Since the Ziwei Pavilion has already been subdued by me, it is only natural that I lead the Ziwei Pavilion to grow and strengthen. You simply feel that my strength is insufficient and that I am unworthy of this position."

As his voice fell, Bai Nao's expression became even uglier.

Clearly, in her heart at this moment, she felt that Su Chen had some self-awareness, but not much.

"Since you know, why don't you hurry up and surrender?"

Bai Nao let out a cold snort and continued, "It is not easy to cultivate to this realm. A small gap is like a natural chasm. I advise you to give up quickly; otherwise, if your meridians are damaged, it will be difficult to improve in the future."

Once these words were spoken, those behind her nodded in agreement.

"That's right. Since its founding, the Ziwei Pavilion has always been supported by Ziwei Xianzi. Her leadership ability is plain for all to see. You, a mere greenhorn, should stop trying to act like a big shot."

"Ziwei Xianzi might not be the number one person in the Tianxuan Continent, but she is certainly one of the best. As for your current cultivation realm, you wouldn't even make the rankings in the Tianxuan Continent, so stop overreaching."

Facing the criticism of the crowd, Su Chen remained unmoved, only staring fixedly at Bai Nao.

"Since you do not believe in me, why not have a duel?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with certainty of victory, "To avoid you saying I am bullying children, best of five, you pick three elites, and I will fight the three of you alone. How about that?"

Once these words were spoken, let alone Bai Nao, even the people behind her looked at Su Chen with expressions as if they were looking at a fool.

Battles between those of the same level were already exceptionally difficult, let alone fighting across levels, and three-on-one at that. This Su Chen was simply arrogant to the extreme, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! "You had better think this through. We are not people who bully the weak, this is unfair to you." Bai Nao could not help but kindly remind him.

"No need, dealing with you is no problem."

Su Chen waved his hand dismissively, "Just bring it on."

Bai Nao wanted to say more, but seeing that Ziwei Xianzi also had a calm expression, as if she were not afraid, her competitive spirit flared up in an instant.

She had followed Ziwei Xianzi for so long and had never been looked at differently by her; why should this man before her be? Since there was this opportunity, she must prove herself to Ziwei Xianzi! Thinking of this, Bai Nao pointed out two others with similar cultivation levels; she did not pick the strongest ones, otherwise, winning would be considered an unearned victory.

The four of them stood straight on the dueling platform, each having signed a Life and Death Contract, everyone carrying the determination of one prepared to die.

Within the sect, duels rarely involved wagering one's life; most were stopped at the point of injury, but today, they all went in with the intention of fighting to the death.

The three of them stared straight at Su Chen before them, their expressions exceptionally calm. By comparison, Su Chen, standing all alone, appeared somewhat pitiful.

"Is Su Chen taking on three people at once a bit too much of a stretch?"

Although Ziwei Xianzi had not spoken just now, she was actually somewhat worried about Su Chen in her heart.

After all, Su Chen's cultivation was what it was; challenging those of a higher level than oneself was already difficult, let alone challenging three at once.

Yi Zhuyue pursed her lips and smiled, saying faintly: "It's about an eight-two split."

Ziwei Xianzi was no longer calm.

"With only a twenty percent chance of winning, Su Chen still dares to go up there. Even if he is the reincarnation of the Dragon Great Emperor, this is too young and reckless."

Ziwei Xianzi looked at Yi Zhuyue with a tone of reproach, her stunning face showing disapproval.

She had not been suitable to speak just now, having intended to leave it to Su Chen to handle alone, but who would have thought he would be so impulsive.

"No, it is Su Chen eight, they two."

Yi Zhuyue shook her head, looking at Ziwei Xianzi with a smile.

Ziwei Xianzi was stunned; although she knew Su Chen was powerful, he couldn't be that monstrous.

When she received the news in the Western Wasteland that Su Chen might be the reincarnation of the Dragon Great Emperor, Ziwei Xianzi had deliberately inquired about him.

Previously, he was clearly a good-for-nothing without martial soul cultivation; even if he was later able to cultivate through a stroke of luck, reaching such a realm in such a short time could almost be considered a one-in-ten-thousand genius.

But this action was too impulsive; even for a generation of heaven-gifted talents, it would still be very strenuous.

Ziwei Xianzi felt that Yi Zhuyue liked Su Chen, which was why she had such blind confidence.

She could not help but shake her head, already pondering countermeasures for defeat in her mind; he was ultimately too young and reckless, it would be good for him to learn a lesson.

"It is not too late for you to surrender now. We are not people who bully the weak, but blades have no eyes; if you get hurt by accident, that would not be good."

Bai Nao summoned her Life-Bound Sword and rubbed it carefully, offering a rather kind reminder.

The two people beside her did the same, their faces filled with the certainty of victory. (End of chapter)
