Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1014 Rejection of Challenge

Yunxi, who was standing in the ring, was instantly filled with unconcealable joy in her beautiful eyes when she saw Lu Chen successfully defeat his opponent.

However, in sharp contrast, Chen Weiqi and Guan Shiya on the side had angry expressions on their faces, and the resentment in their hearts seemed to be about to burst out at any time.

They stared at Lu Chen on the ring, and could not understand why Ji Yunnan, who had originally had the upper hand and was sure of victory, was killed by the opponent in the blink of an eye.

While everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by this fierce battle, Lu Chen, who was standing on the ring, appeared unusually calm.

Then, he waved his hand and took off the storage ring from Ji Yunnan's hand.

Just as Lu Chen was about to put the storage ring into his pocket, suddenly, a cold voice broke the brief silence at the scene.

"Wait! This belongs to Brother Ji. How can you take it for yourself so brazenly?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen stopped moving. He frowned slightly, stopped his steps as he was about to turn around and leave the ring, and then looked in the direction of the voice.

But he saw a middle-aged monk with a tall and straight figure. His face was well-defined, and his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes showed a heroic spirit. His long black hair was casually draped over his shoulders.

A white robe fluttering in the wind made him look particularly chic. His eyes were deep and sharp, staring directly at Lu Chen, giving people a pressure that could not be ignored.

Seeing this, the monks who were watching from all sides suddenly fell silent, and all their eyes were focused on the monk who suddenly spoke.

Through the whispers around him, Lu Chen learned that the man's name was Chen Weiqi, who was also a strong man in the middle stage of the Xuanxian realm, and was also one of Ji Yunnan's companions.

Obviously, many people present had heard of Chen Weiqi, so when he said this, there was immediately a slight commotion in the crowd.

"Not good! Judging from the situation, Ji Yunnan's tragic death obviously made Chen Weiqi extremely angry. I'm afraid he will never let Lu Chen go easily."

Among the crowd, a young monk with an immature face lowered his voice and whispered nervously.

Another monk nearby frowned when he heard this and retorted doubtfully:

"No way, didn't the steward clearly state before that if one of the two parties is unfortunately killed in the contest, then his relatives and friends must not seek revenge privately!"

However, the young monk who spoke first shook his head, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and reminded:

"Have you forgotten? Although there is indeed such a rule that prohibits private revenge, Chen Weiqi can completely follow the rules and challenge the old man.

As long as he can get on the ring, he can still kill the opponent openly. "

Lu Chen could naturally hear the discussions around him clearly, but he didn't care.

At this moment, his eyes met Chen Weiqi's, and there seemed to be an invisible force competing between the two.

Although the opponent's cultivation was not bad, Lu Chen did not show any intention of retreating.

He smiled slightly and replied, "This fellow Taoist seems to have misunderstood. I won this battle. According to the rules, this storage ring naturally belongs to me."

Chen Weiqi frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously realizing that his request was indeed a bit unreasonable, but Ji Yunnan's storage ring contained a lot of good things.

So, he did not refute immediately, but looked around, as if considering whether to challenge Lu Chen and kill him to take back the storage ring.

At this moment, the discussion in the crowd sounded again.

Everyone was talking among themselves, their eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.

"It looks like another thrilling drama is about to begin. I wonder if Immortal Chen Weiqi will challenge Immortal Lu?"

Someone agreed, "That's hard to say. Although Chen Weiqi also has a high level of cultivation in the Xuanxian realm, as far as I know, his strength is much stronger than Ji Yunnan's."

Another person interrupted, "That's right! Back then, no one expected that Lu Chen would be able to successfully kill Ji Yunnan.

But then again, the difference in their cultivation levels is obvious, but the result is really puzzling. I don’t know how Lu Chen did it.”

At this time, another person expressed his opinion:

“In my opinion, high-level talismans usually require extremely rare and precious materials to be refined.

Even if Lu Chen was lucky enough to have some high-level talismans to help him before, I don’t think he still has enough stock to continue using.

Therefore, once the two of them start fighting, the outcome of this duel is really unknown!"

The noisy discussions all around surged like a tide, how could they escape Chen Weiqi's extremely sharp ears and eyes?

At this moment, he suddenly flashed, as fast as lightning.

In the blink of an eye, when he appeared again, he was already standing steadily on the stage, just blocking Lu Chen who was about to step down from the stage.

When Lu Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, but his brows relaxed in an instant, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

Facing Chen Weiqi's sudden appearance, Lu Chen looked at him calmly without a trace of emotion.

At this moment, Chen Weiqi finally couldn't hold back and spoke first:

"Why are you so anxious, sir? I want to challenge you, so go ahead."

Before he finished speaking, he gestured with his hands, and immediately, the crowd that had gathered around to watch the fight began to stir as if they were ignited.

Many people had not expected such a sudden challenge. They opened their eyes wide and looked forward to a new round of gambling.

However, after hearing this, Lu Chen was unmoved. He just smiled faintly, then shook his head slightly and responded:

"I'm really sorry, I can't accept your challenge. According to the rules, I just finished a challenge, and no one else can challenge me again immediately.

Even if you want to fight me, you must wait at least three days."

After saying that, Lu Chen no longer paid attention to Chen Weiqi, turned around and was about to leave the ring, leaving Chen Weiqi with only his back.

Hearing this, Chen Weiqi was stunned and couldn't find the right words to respond for a moment.

Because he knew very well in his heart that what Lu Chen said was true, but the strong unwillingness surged into his heart like a tide, making it impossible for him to accept this fact no matter what.

At this moment, the steward Shi Shi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "What this young friend said is indeed in line with the rules. Fellow Daoist Chen, please don't provoke trouble at will."

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

When Lu Chen saw this, a barely perceptible cunning light flashed in his eyes.

While everyone was still in shock, he moved his feet and flashed in front of the betting window like a ghost.

Then, he took out a jade slip from his bosom, which recorded the information of his previous bets, and handed it to the steward, ready to exchange it for fairy crystals.

When the monks who were watching nearby saw this scene, their eyes widened and expressions of envy appeared on their faces.

They were whispering to each other, discussing in low voices how many immortal crystals Lu Chen had won.

Soon, the steward carefully checked the information in the jade slip and exchanged the full amount of fairy crystals for Lu Chen according to the corresponding ratio.

Lu Chen took the storage bag full of fairy crystals and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he turned around and his eyes fell on Yunxi who was standing not far away.

Yunxi understood what he meant and walked lightly to Lu Chen's side.

The two smiled at each other, then walked away slowly, shoulder to shoulder, with light and free steps.

Their figures gradually moved away and soon disappeared in the crowd...
