Chapter 261

It could be seen that he valued the title of "number one in the world" very much, even more than the Ming Sect itself.

For big figures, this kind of thing was not hard to understand; after all, these figures had practiced for many years, traversing the Jianghu, wasn't it all for the sake of being number one in the world?

But at this moment, Yang Dingtian changed the subject and said:

"And for Yang to become number one in the world, Wudang's Zhang Sanfeng is the hurdle Yang cannot bypass."

"I assume Mr. Su also knows that Zhang Sanfeng is the Wudang Sect Leader, and even more so a peerless expert who has been famous in this Jianghu for many years!"

"His Wu Gong is unfathomable; for so many years, he has rarely had any opponents."

"But the more this is the case, the more Yang refuses to admit defeat..."

"Therefore..."

Speaking to this point, Yang Dingtian raised his head slightly, looked at Su Hang, and asked in a low voice:

"Therefore, Yang wants to go to Wudang in the near future and issue a challenge to Zhang Sanfeng!"

"In this way, is it possible?"

"Mr. Su's divine calculations are heaven-reaching; I ask Mr. Su to calculate the fortune for Yang!"

When Yang Dingtian said this, the Jianghu onlookers were all dumbfounded!

This fellow actually wanted to go to Wudang to challenge Zhang Sanfeng?

Had he gone crazy?

Or had he taken the wrong medicine?

Let alone the Great Ming Jianghu, even in the whole world, after so many years, no one had ever wanted to go to Mount Wudang to challenge the old immortal!

For one, the old immortal had long since entered the Martial Dao Divine Realm, and his Wu Gong was unfathomable; even the peerless experts in the various dynasties might not have a chance of winning in front of the old man.

In the eyes of the crowd, Zhang Sanfeng, along with Qi Tianchen and others, was a peerless expert who had transcended the mortal world and entered the Martial Dao Divine Realm.

To challenge such an expert was no different from seeking death!

What's more, before Yang Dingtian, it was not as if no one had challenged Zhang Sanfeng; it could only be said that the fates of these challengers were more miserable than the last.

Not to mention Emei's Abbess Miejue; although she did not formally issue a challenge to Zhang Sanfeng back then, she had just slapped Yin Susu in the face in front of the old immortal and was almost crippled by Zhang Sanfeng.

With Abbess Miejue's master-level cultivation in the Emei Sect, even with the Heaven-Reliant Sword in hand, it was useless in front of the old immortal, and she didn't even have the chance to draw her sword.

Besides Abbess Miejue,

back in the day, the Western Regions' Daoist Baishun was also a vivid example.

In order to challenge Zhang Sanfeng, Daoist Baishun had beaten and injured many Central Plains heroes, belittling the Central Plains Jianghu as worthless.

But when he truly fought Zhang Sanfeng, in less than thirty rounds, he was shaken to the point of vomiting blood by his own pair of iron palms, and finally died, dying in an inexplicable way.

And these were just two of the people who had challenged Zhang Sanfeng back then.

Zhang Sanfeng's true strength was far more terrifying than what everyone saw.

And the Ming Sect Leader Yang Dingtian before them wanted to challenge this old immortal.

"No way... wanting to challenge Zhang Zhenren, has this fellow gone mad?"

"Exactly! Who doesn't know that Zhang Zhenren is the pillar of the current Jianghu, and no one can defeat him!"

"Don't say that! If this old man remembers correctly, Zhang Zhenren is already over a hundred years old; as the saying goes, fists fear the young and strong, this old man actually thinks now is a good time to challenge Zhang Sanfeng!"

"A mere Ming Sect Leader, what virtue or ability does he have to dare to challenge Zhang Zhenren? This Yang Dingtian is taking himself too seriously!"

"Exactly! Even if he can get up Mount Wudang, whether Zhang Zhenren accepts his challenge is another matter..."

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Yang Dingtian frowned and said:

"Mr. Su need not worry,"

"Since Yang wants to challenge Zhang Zhenren, Zhang Zhenren will have reasons he cannot refuse!"

"In earlier years, Yang also studied under the Divine Eagle Hero; if you count it, I have some fate with Wudang's Zhang Zhenren!"

"If he feels that the Divine Eagle Hero's guidance in his Wu Gong back then was a kindness to him, and he can barely be considered half a master, then between Yang and Zhang Zhenren, we can be considered half fellow disciples."

"Besides that, Yang now leads the Ming Sect brothers to always oppose the Mongol Yuan, protecting the millions of Central Plains people behind us!"

"Even if Zhang Zhenren doesn't look at the Divine Eagle Hero's sake, looking at the sake of these Central Plains people, he will have to fight Yang..."

Su Hang heard this and nodded gently.

Yang Dingtian was not wrong at all; he indeed had reasons that would force Zhang Sanfeng to accept the challenge.

Not to mention the Divine Eagle Hero, after all, it was a long time ago and separated by generations.

But if Yang Dingtian used the people of the world to apply pressure, even Zhang Sanfeng, who had long since stopped asking about worldly affairs, would have to accept the challenge!

Otherwise, as long as Yang Dingtian gave an order and the Ming Sect followers withdrew, countless people would suffer, and would that be something Zhang Sanfeng would be willing to see?

Zhang Sanfeng was a person who practiced the Dao and was also an enlightened person; naturally, he would not want to be tainted by karma because of this matter,

so no matter what, Zhang Sanfeng would have to accept the challenge,

and this was precisely Yang Dingtian's calculation in his heart, which could be considered Zhang Sanfeng's only weak point!

It was just that the only thing Yang Dingtian was unsure of was whether he could win against a peerless expert like Zhang Sanfeng?

If he could win, that would be fine; this would be a fight worth fighting.

At that time, as long as he defeated Zhang Sanfeng, who in the world would dare to doubt his Wu Gong? At that time, both Yang Dingtian's personal prestige and the Ming Sect's overall strength would undoubtedly be further enhanced.

But if he were to lose, then there would be no need to challenge him at all.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Dingtian traveled thousands of miles to Snow Moon City to ask Su Hang for a divination.

Fearing that Su Hang did not understand his current strength, Yang Dingtian continued to add:

"Now Yang has already practiced the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to the fourth level!"

"Shifting form and changing position, I can already block the force of most of the Wu Gong in the world."

"Even if the opponent is the arrogant Zhang Sanfeng... Yang is not afraid!!!"

Speaking to this point, Yang Dingtian's expression was uncontrollably radiant.

You must know that for so many years, he was the first Sect Leader to practice the Ming Sect's peerless divine skill, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, to the fourth level.

This peerless Wu Gong was the Ming Sect's town-sect secret technique, with seven levels in total; for every level up, the difficulty increased dozens of times.

An ordinary person only needing to practice to the second level was already a famous expert in the Jianghu!

If one could practice to the fourth level where Yang Dingtian was, even a master or even a Grandmaster-level expert might not be able to defeat him!

This was all the confidence Yang Dingtian had to challenge Zhang Sanfeng!

Holding so many cards in his hand, Yang Dingtian did not feel that challenging Zhang Sanfeng was an absurd thing.

After all, with the fourth level of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth in hand, he believed he definitely had a hope of winning!

It was just that Zhang Sanfeng's reputation was well-known, and he had traversed the Jianghu for decades, and no one had ever heard of him being defeated...

His own strength, combined with various Jianghu rumors, was what made Yang Dingtian somewhat hesitant.

At the same time,

Wang Yuyan, after hearing Yang Dingtian's words, could not help but be slightly stunned.

She widened her eyes and said with an expression of disbelief:

"Truly unbelievable..."

"I did not expect Sect Leader Yang to have already practiced the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to the fourth level!"

"It is rumored that few experts have ever been able to practice this Wu Gong to this level..."

"No wonder he couldn't wait to go to Wudang to challenge Zhang Zhenren..."

Hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Lianxing also nodded and said softly:

"Sister Yuyan is right; this Great Shift of Heaven and Earth is a peerless martial technique! This Sect Leader Yang being able to practice this Wu Gong to the fourth level, his strength must be extraordinary!"

"In this way, wanting to challenge Zhang Zhenren is indeed justifiable!"

Speaking to this point, Lianxing was slightly stunned and then said:

"But, can he really win?"

"You must know the opponent is Zhang Zhenren..."

As for Zhang Sanfeng's strength, there was naturally no need to explain too much.

In short, this pillar of the martial arts world had an incomparably lofty status.

Wang Yuyan shook her head and said:

"I don't know about this matter..."

"Zhang Zhenren's strength naturally need not be doubted, but Sect Leader Yang has practiced the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to the fourth level..."

"In this way, Yuyan also doesn't know what the result will be."

At this moment,
