Ancient Sky Fiend - Chapter 60

Yun Shu killed Fan Wen. He took a full-strength strike from Chen Sheng. He cut Chen Sheng’s two fingers.

The crowd saw everything, as if they were in a dream.

Who was Chen Sheng?

He was an Elder of the outer sect!

He had been in the Fire Mystic Sect for many years and was probably one of the most powerful cultivators in the sect!

What about Yun Shu?

He was the most well-known loser in the Fire Mystic Sect!

The spectators were totally stunned by the outcome of the fight!

However, Yun Shu had a heavy heart at this moment. It was true that he used the sword intent and hurt Chen Sheng. However, because of the enormous gap between them, he had already consumed most of his Spirit Qi!

Also, Chen Sheng had already seen his best moves. If the fight went on, Yun Shu knew that he would be defeated very soon.

At this time, Chen Sheng was ready to pounce on Yun Shu one more time. Obviously, he had gone crazy. Yun Shu also knew that he was in trouble.

He wasn’t going to win. Should he go back to the Stone Gate World?

In that case, without a doubt, he could keep himself alive, but that would also reveal his secret in front of so many people. That was the last resort he had.

When Yun Shu was still having a difficult time deciding, a strong gust of wind arrived at the Wind and Cloud Platform. The aura felt familiar to Yun Shu.

Finally! Yun Shu released a sigh of relief.

Bang!

Chen Sheng was already in front of Yun Shu. However, the fatal blow from Chen Sheng didn’t land as he had imagined.

In front of Yun Shu stood Old Du, the stout elderly man guarding the Valley of Crime!

The moment Fan Wen had agreed to the life-and-death duel, Yun Shu knew that Chen Sheng would definitely take his revenge once he killed his personal disciple.

To handle this situation, Yun Shu had to find someone even more powerful than Chen Sheng since he would by no means be reasonable.

In the Fire Mystic Sect, there were quite a few seniors who were more powerful than Chen Sheng, but Yun Shu didn’t know them in person. He was only familiar with the two guarding the Valley of Crime.

Fortunately, when Yun Shu was still in the Valley of Crime, Old Du had given him a piece of jade. Whenever he infused his Spirit Qi into it, Old Du would get the message and know that Yun Shu was in trouble.

Therefore, Yun Shu sent Old Du a message before the fight started.

“Chen Sheng! You’re such a shameless old bastard! Are you fighting a junior? Seriously?!” said Old Du aloud. The force from his one single palm strike pushed Chen Sheng back fiercely.

Seeing Old Du, Chen Sheng’s eyebrows slightly lifted. Of course, he recognized him. In terms of both power and status, he was inferior to Old Du.

However, right now, Chen Sheng had been carried away by the rage burning his guts. The only thing he could think at this moment was to kill the little bastard.

“Senior Brother Du, the jerk behind you killed my student. I will kill him today, no matter what!” Chen Sheng gnashed his teeth.

“What happened?” Old Du turned around and asked Yun Shu.

“Senior, I indeed killed his student, but it was because we had agreed on a life-and-death duel witnessed by Chen Sheng and the rest of the two Elders! His student lost the fight and was killed by me, but now, Chen Sheng’s breaking the sect rules and trying to execute me!” said Yun Shu angrily.

Old Du realized the proceedings instantly. He snorted and asked, “Chen Sheng, is this true?”

Chen Sheng had lost his mind. Hearing the question, he answered coldly, “So what?”

Old Du sneered. “‘ So what?’ I’m here today. If you dare break the sect rules and hurt the boy, I’ll put an end to your life immediately. If you don’t believe it, just try.”

Hearing Old Du’s words, he finally calmed down slightly. He was well aware of Old Du’s formidable reputation. If there was going to be a fight between them, Chen Sheng knew that it would end badly for him.

“Right! Then I’ll stick to the rules! Yun Shu, dare you have a life-and-death duel with me?” asked Chen Sheng aloud.

What Chen Sheng had just said was immediately overwhelmed by the loud boos from the audience.

Chen Sheng was an Elder of the outer sect. In terms of age, cultivation, or status, he and Yun Shu were absolutely not at the same level.

He wanted a fight for life and death with Yun Shu, a nobody who was just released from the valley? That was such a joke!

“Chen Sheng! You’re so shameless that your words made me speechless! I think—”

However, before Old Du could finish his words, Yun Shu stepped out and said, “A life-and-death battle? I accept it.”

Bang!

The audience couldn’t believe their ears.

Yun Shu had just accepted Chen Sheng’s challenge?

That was straight up committing suicide!

Even Su Lingwen was stunned. No one understood more about Yun Shu’s current power than her. It wasn’t a surprise to her that he had easily killed Fan Wen, but to fight Chen Sheng…

Yun Shu had no chance to win the fight at all!

“Good! Since you’ve agreed, let’s—” Chen Sheng looked extremely excited.

“Wait! I’m not finished yet!” Yun Shu cut him off.

“What?” Chen Sheng snorted.

“I can accept it, but not now. Three months later, on this same platform, if you still have the guts, we’ll fight!” Yun Shu looked at Chen Sheng with contempt.

Chen Sheng was a bit surprised at first, but then he nodded. “Deal! Three months later!”

In Chen Sheng’s eyes, three months were not enough to change anything. He had been cultivating for more than a few decades.

No matter what kind of a genius Yun Shu was, it was impossible for him to catch up with him within a mere three months.

He only had to wait for a few more moons, and then he would be able to take revenge for his student without breaking any rules in the sect.

“Deal! Please be witnesses for us, Senior Du, and the two Elders over there,” said Yun Shu.

“You have no idea what you’re dealing with,” said Old Du word by word, looking pissed.

In his eyes, Yun Shu’s decision was too reckless. Three months was too short for Yun Shu to erase the gap between Chen Sheng and him!

“Senior, please don’t worry. I know what I am doing. Please be my witness, or I’ll have to find someone else.” Yun Shu smiled.

Old Du took a deep breath and cast a glance at Yun Shu’s smiling face. Still, he knew that this young man was not going to change his mind.

“Alright… I’ll be your witness.” Old Du slowly produced these words with great effort.

“Thank you very much, Senior!” Yun Shu gave him a respectful hold fist salute.

Then Yun Shu turned around and yelled at Chen Sheng, “Go and pick a coffin you like for yourself! It’ll be useful three months later!”

“You bastard!” Chen Sheng hated Yun Shu to his very bones, but right now, he could do nothing to him. So he flicked his sleeves and directly left the platform.

Watching Chen Sheng leaving, Old Du sighed. “Boy, you…”

“Please don’t worry, senior. I know what to do!” Yun Shu grinned.

Old Du couldn’t believe Yun Shu’s words. However, he could not change anything even if he wanted to. The arrow had already left the bow.

“You’d better!” Old Du shook his head. The corner of his eye caught the presence of Yun Wanli in the crowd, but he said nothing and left.
