218: Enraged Ning Bufan

Meanwhile, the news of Yang Lingchen challenging Xiao Zhanlong spread throughout the entire Ling Tian City like wildfire, as if it had grown wings.

Even people in other cities who were closely following the divine martial ranking received urgent Sound Transmission messages.

"What kind of background does this Yang Lingchen have? How dare he challenge Xiao Zhanlong?"

"I know this Yang Lingchen. I heard that a few days ago, in Juntian City, he defeated Wang Chen with a single move and thunderous momentum."

"Is that so? Then this challenge is going to be interesting! Now we just have to see how Xiao Zhanlong responds!"

For a time, the entire Ling Tian City was buzzing with discussion, and everyone was waiting impatiently at the magnificent Challenge Stage in the city.

Outside the Mountain Gate of Ling Tian Pavilion.

A tall, burly youth with eyes as violent as thunder was coldly staring at Yang Lingchen's incredibly arrogant challenge banner.

This tall youth was none other than the Saint of Ling Tian Pavilion, Xiao Zhanlong.

With a flash in his eyes, he struck out with a palm full of rage, instantly blasting the challenge banner into fragments.

"Simply courting death, daring to come to Ling Tian Pavilion to issue a challenge."

In recent years, although there were occasional challenges against Xiao Zhanlong, this was the first time someone had been so bold as to hang a challenge banner directly at the majestic Mountain Gate of Ling Tian Pavilion. To him, this was a massive insult.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was on the spacious Challenge Stage in Ling Tian City, waiting calmly and composedly for Xiao Zhanlong's arrival.

Yang Lingchen had clearly specified the exact time and detailed location on the challenge banner, and with such a massive commotion created, he was convinced that the other party would not dare not to come.

After all, the Geniuses on the divine martial ranking were extremely concerned about their Luck of the Great Emperor. If they feared battle and refused to appear, it would consume a significant amount of their personal Luck of the Great Emperor.

And once the Luck of the Great Emperor was exhausted, it meant that this person would have no hope of reaching the Great Emperor Realm in their lifetime.

Just then, an elegant white figure descended from the sky and instantly appeared on the Arena. The person who arrived was none other than Xiao Zhanlong.

His eyes revealed a chilling light as he looked coldly at Yang Lingchen and said, "You are Yang Lingchen?"

"I am." Yang Lingchen's voice was calm, as if everything was under his control.

"Very good. Today, This Young Master will let some ignorant cats and dogs know what kind of painful consequences there will be for challenging This Young Master." Xiao Zhanlong's tone was incredibly cold, carrying a heavy threat.

"Idiot!" Yang Lingchen spat out the words lightly, his tone contemptuous.

"Stinky brat, you are courting death."

Xiao Zhanlong's eyes flared with a fierce light. He suddenly swung the gleaming battle sword in his hand, and a terrifying Sword Qi, as if wanting to ruthlessly tear apart the air in front of him, swept toward Yang Lingchen with a menacing Aura.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen's figure turned into an afterimage as fast as lightning. He swung his heavy heaven-reaching staff and smashed it fiercely toward the top of Xiao Zhanlong's head with immense power.

At the critical moment, Xiao Zhanlong hurriedly swung his sword, struggling to block it above his head.

"Boom...!"

Yang Lingchen's heaven-reaching staff smashed fiercely onto Xiao Zhanlong's battle sword. The intense Protective Aura instantly sent Xiao Zhanlong flying backward, looking extremely disheveled.

Watching Xiao Zhanlong fly backward, the audience in Ling Tian City all had expressions of extreme shock on their faces.

Generally speaking, for experts who were both at the Peak of the ninth layer of the Divine Martial Realm, the gap in strength between the two sides would not be too large, but the strength Yang Lingchen displayed exceeded everyone's imagination.

"Do you still want to continue?"

A disdainful sneer curled on the corner of Yang Lingchen's mouth as he looked coldly at Xiao Zhanlong with an arrogant expression.

When it came to acting cool, Yang Lingchen had never feared anyone.

"Stinky brat, go to hell!"

Xiao Zhanlong's entire face twisted in anger, looking hideous and terrifying. He waved his sleeve, and hundreds of sharp flying needles shot out instantly.

Watching Yang Lingchen, who was densely enveloped by the flying needles, a look of satisfaction appeared on Xiao Zhanlong's face.

"Swish...!"

With a swish, Yang Lingchen's figure suddenly vanished from the spot, like a ghost.

Seeing Yang Lingchen's figure suddenly disappear, Xiao Zhanlong looked shocked and dumbfounded.

"Idiot, I'm over here!"

Just then, Yang Lingchen appeared behind Xiao Zhanlong, his voice cold.

"Go to hell!"

Hearing Yang Lingchen's voice from behind, Xiao Zhanlong didn't even turn his head and fired another few hundred flying needles crazily toward his back.

This time, Yang Lingchen did not dodge. He directly blocked the front of his body with the sturdy black cauldron, while the heaven-reaching staff in his hand, like a swift bolt of lightning, instantly shot toward Xiao Zhanlong.

"Boom!" The heaven-reaching staff, carrying a surging power of Haotian, instantly smashed onto Xiao Zhanlong's Dantian with astonishing force.

"Ahhh..."

Xiao Zhanlong let out a shrill scream, and a look of despair appeared on his face: "Little Bastard, how dare you destroy my Dantian."

"Bang...!"

Yang Lingchen sneered, calmly picked up his heaven-reaching staff, and then kicked the opponent fiercely off the Arena.

"Brat, you have such big guts, daring to destroy the Dantian of the Saint of our Ling Tian Pavilion."

An old man with restrained Aura and incredibly cold eyes looked at Yang Lingchen coldly, as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

This old man was none other than the Grand Elder of Ling Tian Pavilion, Ning Bufan.

"The divine martial ranking challenge is fair, open, and just. If Xiao Zhanlong's Dantian was crippled, it is because his skills were inferior. You Ling Tian Pavilion wouldn't be sore losers wanting to take revenge on me, right?" Yang Lingchen sneered, showing no fear.

"Our Ling Tian Pavilion would naturally not be sore losers." Ning Bufan looked coldly at Yang Lingchen, his eyes filled with rage.

"Then I can rest assured."

"I was originally worried that you might be sore losers and want to take revenge on me! Now it seems I misunderstood you. Farewell!"

Yang Lingchen cupped his fists, then quickly left the Arena with light footsteps.

Watching Yang Lingchen's departing back, Ning Bufan's expression was extremely cold, "Little Bastard! Having crippled the Saint of our Ling Tian Pavilion, no one can save you."

After Yang Lingchen and Wang Chen returned to the private room of the restaurant, they hung a sign on the door that read: Resting, please do not disturb.

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen and Wang Chen entered the Teleportation Array and left Ling Tian City directly.

These small Teleportation Arrays were all one-time use; once the teleportation was successful, they would automatically be destroyed to prevent enemies from pursuing through the Teleportation Array.

Outside the Zuilaixiang Restaurant.

Ning Bufan said with a gloomy face: "Keep a close watch on this brat for this seat. Once he leaves Ling Tian City, notify this seat immediately."

Within Ling Tian City, Ning Bufan did not dare to make a move. After all, doing so would have too great an impact on the reputation of Ling Tian Pavilion, and might even make Ling Tian Pavilion an object of scorn throughout the entire Tianfeng World.

"Yes, Grand Elder." A Core Disciple of Ling Tian Pavilion said respectfully.

At this time, Yang Lingchen and Wang Chen had already appeared outside Ling Tian City. The two did not hesitate at all and flew toward the distance like lightning.

"Brother Yang, why didn't you just beat that idiot Xiao Zhanlong to death?" Wang Chen said.

Yang Lingchen smiled and said, "For people who love to act cool, the best way is to destroy their Dantian, letting them live in this world as humbly as ants."

Hearing Yang Lingchen's words, Wang Chen couldn't help but shiver.

In the following days, under Wang Chen's guidance, Yang Lingchen challenged more than a dozen members of the divine martial ranking in succession.

In these dozen or so challenges, Yang Lingchen's ranking on the Tianluo Domain's divine martial ranking had already reached the thirtieth place.

And Ning Bufan of Ling Tian Pavilion had been following behind Yang Lingchen eating dust during this time.

Whenever he was about to find Yang Lingchen, Yang Lingchen would go to other places to challenge, which made him furious.

"Little Bastard, when this seat catches you, I will definitely skin you alive." At this moment, Ning Bufan's eyes were incredibly cold.
