CHAPTER 1118: CHAPTER 746: AS LONG AS WE RISE AGAIN (PART 2)

"Xuan Yue Celestial Wheel!"

No one expected that the Elder from the Xuanyue Sect would start with a divine skill as his killing move.

A sudden halo appeared behind him, incredibly sharp.

As it spun, it directly attacked Du Feng. Caught off guard, Du Feng’s shoulder was struck, blood flowing profusely.

Xiu Huang stood to the side, clenching his fist, saying, "This person is too despicable, not even giving a chance to prepare!"

Wang Yang remarked the key point on the side, "They’ve pushed the Eastern Peak Sect to this extent, do they really need all this?"

Nonetheless, Xiu Huang and Kui Jiang tightly clenched their fists, feeling indignation for Du Feng.

"Despicable!"

Du Feng’s expression changed, not expecting the opponent to be so underhanded.

The Elder from the Xuanyue Sect laughed heartily, "Despicable? I don’t care who you are. If you intend to help the Eastern Peak Sect, we’ll use any means necessary. If you back off now, I can pretend nothing happened!"

Du Feng also laughed wildly, "You think you can make us back off, just see what kind of person you are!"

"Uninhibited Sky Demon, Hunyuan Tian Zhuan!"

Du Feng’s power in his hand kept swirling, and an extremely profound force burst forth.

The Elder from the Xuanyue Sect’s face changed drastically, knowing he couldn’t possibly withstand this move head-on.

He retreated repeatedly, yet even so, he got his chest injured.

"You’re courting death!"

Clearly enraged, two halos suddenly emerged behind the Elder from the Xuanyue Sect.

The two halos alternated, attacking Du Feng.

At this moment, Du Feng found his will stronger than his power, as he had already defeated five people before, his strength already significantly depleted.

He could only withstand the move forcefully, but due to insufficient magic power, his defense was shattered!

Du Feng coughed up blood, knowing he couldn’t admit defeat just yet.

With a loud shout, he pressed forward again, but the Elder from the Xuanyue Sect was at his peak, and his cultivation was quite formidable.

"Puff!"

Du Feng was directly hit in the chest with a palm, falling to the ground, creating a deep pit.

Members of other sects heaved a sigh of relief, mocking with a laugh, "The Eastern Peak Sect is just the Eastern Peak Sect after all, their fall is inevitable, this is merely their futile resistance!"

"You refuse to back off, then today, whether you live or die, you can’t blame anyone else!"

The Elder from the Xuanyue Sect, with murderous intent, suddenly conjured a longsword, thrusting directly towards Du Feng.

But at that exact moment, a bolt of lightning split down from the sky, separating the two.

Before anyone could react, at some point,

Wang Yang appeared at the center of the battlefield, standing in front of Du Feng.

"Didn’t expect there was another master."

The crowd was utterly astonished; they had thought Du Feng to be the strongest, but now it seemed not to be the case.

Wang Yang squinted and glanced around, then said, "Everyone, in the spirit of camaraderie, friendship first, competition second, shall we end things here for today?"

Before the Elder from the Xuanyue Sect could speak, others from different sects started shouting.

"Nonsense, you think the Eastern Peak Sect is worth anything, who would listen to you?"

"Today you’d better disband on your own, don’t force us to act directly."

Wang Yang helplessly shook his head and sighed, "Does this mean, according to everyone, this contest can’t be about friendship first?"

"Haha, what a joke, you must be a child to still believe in friendship first, just die!"

However, before the Elder from the sect could strike, Wang Yang sent a lightning bolt striking down on him.

The Elder was charred and fainted unconscious.

"I reasoned with all of you nicely, yet you respond with harsh words, it deeply wounds my heart, I lost control of myself, please reconsider."

The Elder from the Xuanyue Sect retreated slowly, having seen clearly through Wang Yang’s skills with just those two moves.

He knew he was definitely not Wang Yang’s match, and with no certainty about how many unknown strategies the Eastern Peak Sect had, he dared not take action lightly.

The Eastern Peak Sect Master, seeing the Xuanyue Sect Elder intending to retreat, stood up and said, "Hmm, my disciple is right, friendship first, competition second, the contest is over for today, this Sect Master will not see you off."

"Hmph! We withdraw!"

After giving the Eastern Peak Sect Master a stare, the Elder from the Xuanyue Sect took his people and left.

The disciples and other Elders of the Eastern Peak Sect were somewhat at a loss, was it really just going to end like this?

One of the Elders couldn’t help but speak, "But Elder, we have so many..."

"Less talk, let’s go!"

This leading Elder offered no explanation, merely turned and left.

Seeing the Elder from the Xuanyue Sect leave, others from different sects naturally dared not linger any longer and followed suit.

Watching everyone leave, the Eastern Peak Sect Master finally relaxed, a bead of sweat trickling down his forehead.

"That was way too close, way too close..."

He kept repeating this phrase because it indeed was extremely perilous.

Du Feng, clutching his chest, came before Wang Yang, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It’s nothing, but today we’ll at least have an excuse and reason."

Du Feng, Xiu Huang, and others were taken aback, "Excuse and reason for what?"

Wang Yang smiled, "Obviously a suitable excuse and reason."

Seeing Wang Yang unwilling to explain further, they naturally didn’t dare ask more.

The Eastern Peak Sect Master hurriedly left his seat, his legs trembling as he approached Wang Yang.

"Moluo Qing, weren’t you a bit too bold earlier, if they had attacked in full force, how could we have withstood them?"

Wang Yang responded calmly, "They don’t know how many back-up plans we have, and although they bring some experts, they don’t have many. Without enough confidence, they dare not act recklessly."

"But there are so many of them..."

The Eastern Peak Sect Master hadn’t finished before Wang Yang interrupted, "Sect Master, have you heard the saying, ’the monk who fetches water doesn’t drink’?"

The Eastern Peak Sect Master was taken aback, while Xiu Huang hurriedly asked, "What does Your Majesty mean? Why do I not understand?"

This time, Du Feng was more astute and explained, "It’s the literal meaning. When there are many people, they rely and depend on each other, each thinking the other will fetch water, and in the end, they’re all lazy."

Wang Yang nodded, "While these sect members are many, and experts are strong, they each expect someone else to make moves. No one wants to get injured. Besides, our sudden appearance left them unsure of the extent of our capabilities."

The Sect Master finally understood, praising Wang Yang, "To have thought this through, I could never achieve that."

Kui Jiang laughed, "In that case, let them hand over the position of Sect Master to us."

The Eastern Peak Sect Master hesitated, "This..."

Unexpectedly, Wang Yang gave him a fierce glare and said with a smile, "Sect Master, no need to mind, it’s just a joke."

The Sect Master also smiled awkwardly, "Haha, I know it’s a joke, jokes are good."

Finding the situation too awkward, Wang Yang led a few away.

After Wang Yang left, a disciple came forward quickly, "Sect Master, I say these people aren’t joking, surely they’re eyeing your position!"

"Ah, it doesn’t matter who becomes the Sect Master, with their abilities, establishing a new sect is not difficult, surely they have other plans!"

This young Sect Master actually saw things very clearly, knowing Wang Yang and others completely had the capability to seize the Eastern Peak Sect directly.

But Wang Yang and the others didn’t do that.

On one hand, the other party truly had no intention to seize the sect so easily, and on the other hand, they might have other uses.

As long as they could help the Eastern Peak Sect rise again, what harm was there in making some sacrifices?
