I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Chapter 284: Chapter 173: Killed by Two or Three Sword Strikes, Without Much Effort 1

Translator: 549690339

Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan looked at the excited pair of brothers, feeling utterly stunned.

That was a peak Great Grandmaster they were talking about!

In their eyes, was this figure so fragile? As worthless and easily beaten as a grasshopper?

“Brother Xie, who is the other peak Great Grandmaster? From the demonic sect, or a member of the black-robed people?”

Xu Yan curiously asked.

Apart from Demon Lord Huo Tu, the other neighboring peak Great Grandmaster was either a powerful person from the demonic sect or belonged to the black-robed people’s force.

Beyond that, Xu Yan couldn’t think of any other force that would ambuscade him.

Having just killed a peak Great Grandmaster of the black-robed people, if there are still other black-robed peak Great Grandmasters lurking on Canglan Island, that would signify the incredible power of their forces.

“Most likely the black-robed people!”

Xie Lingfeng said seriously, “I’ve used some information from the sword-cliff, but 1 can’t find out to what camp the black-robed people belong. This demonstrates how deeply concealed they are and how one cannot underestimate their power.”

Xu Yan’s expression hardened, then he said coldly, “Having killed their peak Great Grandmaster, let’s see whether they will show their true colors and how many more peak Great Grandmasters I can kill!”

“Let’s go, to Canglan Island, but before we do that, Demon Lord Huo Tu should prepare my payment for my intervention.” Xu Yan said, making a gesture with his hand.

The group of four left Tie Shan county, heading straight for Canglan Island.

However, in Lanping prefecture city, they spread the news out, letting it reach Canglan Island.

If Demon Lord Huo Tu wants Xu Yan to go to Canglan Island to fight, he must prepare one million spirit crystals and move all his possessions onto Canglan Island!

Otherwise, Xu Yan would not agree to fight!

Upon hearing the news, Inner Realm Martial Artists were left dumbstruck.

Was that even possible?

Xu Yan’s justification was that Canglan Island might have been ravaged, resulting in him suffering devastating losses. Even if he won back Canglan Island, he couldn’t recover from these losses.

Unless Demon Lord Huo Tu paid the one million Spirit Crystals as a combat fee, plus moving all his possessions to Canglan Island.

Only then would Xu Yan be willing to intervene!

On Canglan Island, the ferocious-looking, red-haired Demon Lord Huo Tu was filled with anger: “This bastard is too insolent!”

He dared to blatantly demand a combat fee from him!

Moreover, he demanded that Demon Lord Huo Tu move his life’s treasures to Canglan Island, only then would he agree to fight.

Yet, he did so with a righteous attitude, unashamed, and showing no signs of dishonor that had lost any of his strength!

What infuriated Demon Lord Huo Tu even more, was that members of the Inner Realm Martial Arts community considered Xu Yan’s refusal to fight a wise move. They commended Xu Yan as a talented and discerning youth who knows how to make the right moves!

At such a young age, with such strong natural talent, avoiding fighting the infamous Demon Lord Huo Tu was not a disgrace at all!

This caused Demon Lord Huo Tu to be so furious that he wanted to destroy Canglan Island!

However, Demon Lord Huo Tu had no means to deal with Xu Yan if he refused to fight. Even if he wanted to take the initiative to find Xu Yan, it would prove to be impossible.

If he could find Xu Yan easily, he wouldn’t have set his sights on Canglan Island.

“Agree to his conditions,” said a man in the black robe standing behind Demon Lord Huo Tu.

“Who says anyone could lay their hands on my Spirit Crystals? If you want to kill him, you produce the million Spirit Crystals!” Demon Lord Huo Tu coldly replied.

“We can!”

The black-robed man nodded.

“Yinjue, you are the vice-curator of Yinlou Pavilion, yet you are personally involving yourself with this. Do you have such a deep-seated grudge against a boy like Xu Yan?”

Demon Lord Huo Tu squinted his eyes and asked.

“Huo Tu, don’t ask about things you shouldn’t know, and don’t speak carelessly about things you should not speak of. There would be severe consequences otherwise,” Yinjue said, his gaze chilling as ice.

“Huh!”

Demon Lord Huo Tu scoffed, “If not for the old monster of Yinlou Pavilion backing you, why would I agree to work with you?”

“Huo Tu, I’d advise you to choose your words wisely,” warned Yinjue coldly.

“Humph!”

Demon Lord Huo Tu snorted.

His eyes gleamed with a hint of fear. Even he, a peak Great Grandmaster, felt a sense of dread when he thought about the curator of Yinlou Pavilion!

Such terror!

“Tell Xu Yan that I, Huo Tu, will be waiting for him on Canglan Island, leaving my treasures and a map of their location behind!”

Demon Lord Huo Tu said coldly.

He glanced at Yinjue, then at the person standing behind him – a black-robed figure who served as one of Yinlou’s protectors.

A peak Great Grandmaster.

His gaze fell on the river, where someone seemed to be hiding.

The vice-curator of Yinlou Pavilion, came with two protectors, and together with Demon Lord Huo Tu, there were four peak Great Grandmasters — all to kill one youth!

Such a situation had never occurred in the Inner Realm Martial Arts community before!

However, they all feared great calamity from Xu Yan’s potential. They knew they had to kill him before he came into his full power!

Otherwise, endless troubles would ensue!

However, Yinlou Pavilion seemed to have other purposes as well, like finding someone. This seemed like orders from the curator of Yinlou Pavilion!

Canglan Island was the focus of many formidable warriors this time.

The infamous Demon Lord Huo Tu challenged the rising prodigy, Xu Yan, an event never before seen in the martial arts world.

The story of Xu Yan became more widespread — how he had stormed through the nine stages of the Seven-star Study Palace, beating up Grandmasters, and single-handedly killing two accomplished Grandmasters in a joint attack.

At such a young age, his strength surpassed many Grandmasters. He was a monstrous talent never seen before in the martial arts realm.

Demon Lord Huo Tu had a fearsome reputation, and also many who wanted him dead. He was on Canglan Island, where his enemies wanted to kill him.

However, it seemed they were all being obstructed.

The other two Demon Lords from the demonic sect were actually preventing others from getting to him.

In fact, there were unidentified powerful individuals who seemed to be other Demon Lords.

This made all the major forces suspect – was the demonic sect planning to unite once more and sweep across the Inner Domain?
