Chapter 1710: Chapter 1710: A Battle Under the Spotlight!
He looked deeply at Wang Mang and said in a low voice, "Follow me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Seeing this, Wang Mang shrugged his shoulders and followed.
Their recent conversation seemed unremarkable on the surface, but the sharp exchange was clear to any discerning observer.
This made the others in the room reveal a touch of curiosity on their faces.
The composure of the two men and their demeanor during the conversation undoubtedly showed that both had great confidence in themselves.
Regardless of the outcome of the impending battle, Wang Mangās composed demeanor alone was worthy of their admiration.
He was facing a young clan leader of a top power, not some nobody.
Moreover, the Seventh Young Clan Leader was the strongest among all young clan leaders of the entire Qiling clan.
Years of being unbeatable gave him an air of indomitable calm, no matter who he faced.
Even the elders of the clan had to respectfully greet him as the young clan leader!
Faced with such an individual, no one present dared to claim they could maintain the composure Wang Mang showed.
In a moment, a strong curiosity filled their hearts.
This battle, no matter what, must be witnessed!
The sheer aura of the two was worth observing and pondering over.
The elder in the room also came back to his senses from his dumbfounded state.
He was the first elder, with only the young clan leaders and patriarchs having more authority than him in the clan.
His strength was, of course, beyond doubt.
He was naturally aware of the news about Wang Mang joining the faction of the Second Elder.
Zhao Si even told him to look out for this talent named Wang Mang.
After accepting the benefits, he hadnāt expected such a turn of events.
The next moment, he started to blame Wang Mang in his heart.
"Are you seeking death by provoking the young clan leader this way, as a Peerless Heavenly Talent of the Eternal Realm?" he wondered.
Every Peerless Heavenly Talent allowed into the Qiling clan had exceptional natural gifts.
But over all these years, they had only produced one Seventh Young Clan Leader who dominated all others.
And yet you dared to provoke such a person.
Indeed, in the eyes of the first elder, Wang Mangās actions were a challenge to the Seventh Young Clan Leader.
In his opinion, Wang Mangās strength would definitely not match that of the Seventh Young Clan Leader.
What right does the weaker have to talk back to the stronger?
The weak should behave, while the strongās word should be law.
Realizing this, a look of helplessness appeared on the elderās face.
Caught between the young clan leader and the Second Elder, this was a difficult situation.
"Enough of this. At my age, I still have to deal with you youngsters causing trouble," he muttered to himself.
"All of you, come with me," he said, sighing to the several people behind him.
All eight individualsā eyes flashed as they quickly followed him.
...
Meanwhile, the news of Wang Mangās duel with the Seventh Young Clan Leader spread, attracting the attention of everyone in the clan.
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Si hurried to the site of the duel with an anxious expression.
As he watched the two stare each other down from afar, Zhao Siās face darkened.
"Damn it, in the blink of an eye, this kid has crossed swords with the young clan leader."
"What is the first elder doing?"
With that thought, Zhao Si also turned his gaze toward the first elder, not far away.
Meeting his gaze, the first elder returned a look of helplessness.
Seeing this, Zhao Si became even more infuriated.
"Dammit, losing face in front of so many people, what a blow that would be to oneās fighting spirit," he thought.
Although he felt unable to intervene with the young clan leader being the opponent, he resolved to step in at the last moment to save Wang Mangās life if necessary.
As more and more people arrived to watch the battle, the scene became noisier.
The sounds of ridicule, mockery, and sympathy were incessant.
All sorts of comments were heard, with not a single one favoring Wang Mang.
After all, the concept of the Seventh Young Clan Leader being unmatched among his peers had deeply implanted itself in peopleās minds.
No one believed that an obscure youth whose name they had never heard could defeat the unbeatable young clan leader!
Standing on the field, the Seventh Young Clan Leader frowned as he looked down at the crowd that was packed like sardines.
His intention was to assess Wang Mangās strength, and of course, there was the meaning of teaching the boy a lesson as well.
But in his plans, there was never the element of allowing spectators to watch the battle.
Because no matter whether Wang Mangās strength was satisfactory or not, he could not possibly defeat him.
If Wang Mangās strength was insufficient, then that would be fine and not of any concern.
But if Wang Mang turned out to be powerful, he could become a significant asset to him.
However, due to todayās events, Wang Mang might bear a grudge against him and refuse to serve him in the future.
For a moment, his expression suddenly darkened.
Who did this!
At this time, Wang Mang, looking at the audience who came to watch the battle, was also somewhat astonished.
He had not expected that a casual spar would attract so many people.
It seemed that the young clan leaderās fame was even higher than he had imagined.
Defeat him!
In an instant, Wang Mang made his decision.
To break this figureās myth of invincibility in front of so many people.
Not to mention the potential collapse of his Dao heart, it would greatly impact him.
Thus, when he made his move to kill him, he would have an added chance of success.
With that thought, Wang Mangās gaze suddenly became sharp.
"Young Clan Leader, shall we begin?"
Seeing that the Seventh Young Clan Leader had yet to make a move, Wang Mang took the initiative to speak.
As soon as his words fell, the murmuring crowd instantly fell silent.
Their gazes toward Wang Mang were filled with amazement.
Is he initiating a challenge?!
Upon hearing Wang Mangās words, the Seventh Young Clan Leader, still pondering how to deal with the current situation, couldnāt help but have his expression darken.
With Wang Mangās statement, the nature of the affair was undoubtedly sealed.
The two of them had to fight and determine a winner.
Unless he showed weakness voluntarily.
But was that possible?
You are seeking your own humiliation, lad!
The next moment, the Seventh Young Clan Leader, with a stern face, said in a low voice:
"Very well, letās start then!"
As his voice faded, a terrifying aura burst forth from within him.
The dreadful pressure caused even the space around to twist slowly.
The unique power of Dao runes in the Eternal Realm, like several giant pythons ready to strike, coiled around his body.
An irresistible force instantly appeared in the hearts of all present.
In that moment, the stature of the Seventh Young Clan Leader in the eyes of the spectators grew immensely, as if he were an ancient god.
The inadvertent aura he exuded had the divine authority to suppress all beings.
Looking at the invigorated Seventh Young Clan Leader, not a soul in the audience dared to breathe heavily.
Their depth-like and sea-like aura made them shiver slowly as if they were experiencing it firsthand.
Without even making a move, the will of a large portion of the audience had already crumbled.
At this moment, divine light flowed through the eyes of the Seventh Young Clan Leader, and boundless divine power swirled around him.
"You make the first move. Donāt say I didnāt give you a chance," he said.
His voice boomed like muffled thunder, echoing between heaven and earth.
His words were imbued with endless pride, perfectly embodying the essence of being unbeatable.
Hearing his words, Wang Mang couldnāt help but let out a light chuckle.
Just then, a stream of golden light suddenly entered Wang Mangās mind.
The voice transmission from Abyss Xuanming resounded in Wang Mangās mind.
In a flash, Wang Mangās face drastically changed, no longer retaining his previous composure.
