Chapter 298: Feng Qingyang's Challenge

"Challenging with the sword?"

Hearing Feng Qingyang say this, Su Hang could not help but pause in slight surprise.

So this was the true purpose of Feng Qingyang's visit to Xueyue City!

The talk of Huashan's prosperity was likely just a casual remark.

The old man's real intention was actually to find him for a fight?

Feng Qingyang nodded with a smile and said:

"Precisely!"

"I have long heard that Mr. Su is proficient in the Way of the Sword, and can even control a sword with Qi!"

"How could an old man like me miss such a rare and extraordinary feat?"

"Therefore, I have come specifically to challenge you with the sword; I beg Mr. Su to grant me this favor!"

The term 'challenging with the sword' simply means a martial contest.

Speaking of it, this is a custom that originated from the Northern Li Empire.

Among the swordsmen of the world, there are many refined scholars, and these refined swordsmen do not speak of contests, but rather of challenging with the sword.

However, compared to a contest or a duel, challenging with the sword is more about determining a winner and loser, and does not necessarily require a life-or-death struggle.

Typically, as long as one side stops at the critical point, the challenge with the sword is considered concluded.

What no one expected now was that Feng Qingyang, the elder of the Huashan Sect, would come all the way to Xueyue City specifically to challenge Su Hang with the sword.

The audience at Kezhandeguan Inn heard this and were all surprised in turn.

"What... challenging with the sword... no way? Feng Qingyang is challenging Mr. Su with the sword?"

"Unbelievable! Even if Feng Qingyang wants to challenge with the sword, shouldn't he be challenging the Second City Lord?"

"Elder Feng is indeed a hermit of great ability; his conduct is completely unconventional, as he directly challenges Mr. Su with the sword!"

"However, although Mr. Su is not a swordsman, his swordsmanship is visible to all... he even knows the Yu Jian Shu and the Shen Jian Jue!"

"Regardless, Mr. Su's swordsmanship is not necessarily inferior to the Second City Lord's; Feng Qingyang challenging Mr. Su with the sword is truly a wise move!"

Soon, the news that Feng Qingyang was challenging Su Hang with the sword spread throughout Xueyue City.

In an instant, the entire Xueyue City began to boil with excitement.

Although Feng Qingyang's fame could not compare to great figures like Wang Wang Xianzhi or Li Li Chungang, he was after all a peerless swordsman who had been famous in the Wu Lin for many years! His strength was not insignificant!

Moreover, as the successor of the Nine Swords of Dugu, Feng Qingyang sparked curiosity in the hearts of the people of the Wu Lin.
