Of course, she could choose to refuse his challenge. But she couldn’t. Because this group of hers had just been established, and if she shrunk back from battle, then she could dream of being able to recruit anyone else in the Sword Sect after that. Right when Qingxue was in a difficult position, a voice suddenly resounded. “I’ll accept your challenge on her behalf!” When they heard this voice, everyone was shocked. Jiang Yuan and Jang Wen frowned while Qingxue was delighted in her heart instead because this voice belonged to Tang Ye. Everyone looked over to the source of the voice, and they exploded into an uproar when they noticed it was Tang Ye. “It’s Tang Ye! It’s actually him! Haha! There’s a show to watch now!” “Don’t get happy too soon. That Jang Wen is an expert at the third rank of the First Heaven Realm. On the other hand, Tang Ye is still at the Mortal Realm. Can he defeat Jang Wen?” “You probably don’t understand! Tang Ye is a formidable figure that was capable of passing through the 22nd level. Do you know what the 22nd level means? You know Jiang Yuan, right? Jiang Yuan was only able to ascend to the 16th level with a strength at the First Heaven Realm, whereas, Tang Ye was able to pass through the 22nd level. Do you know what this means?” “It means my ass! Get to the point, alright? Stop blabbering!” “It means that Tang Ye’s strength had already far exceeded ordinary experts at the First Heaven Realm. However, I never expected that Tang Ye would actually stand up for our Big Sister Qingxue. Could it be that he has taken a liking to Big Sister Qingxue? My god! Please don’t do that! Big Sister Qingxue is mine....” “Why don’t you take a look in the mirror. You look like a pig. How could Big Sister Qingxue like you?” Amidst their discussions, Tang Ye had already arrived by Qingxue’s side, and he nodded slightly to her. Earlier, he hadn’t made an appearance mainly because he wanted to see how Qingxue would face Jang Wen’s conditions. If Qingxue really agreed to it, then he could only say that he’d misjudged her. Fortunately, Qingxue whom he’d taken to be a friend hadn’t disappointed him. Qingxue smiled and nodded as well when she saw Tang Ye. For some unknown reason, she had a feeling that Jang Wen who was on the Outer Court Rankings would absolutely not be a match for Tang Ye. Of course, if she didn’t witness the scene on that day when Tang Ye instantly crushed Jiang Yuan, she wouldn’t have such a feeling. “You’re Tang Ye?” Meanwhile, Jang Wen gazed at Tang Ye and asked in a low voice. He was extremely fearful of Tang Ye as well. Not to mention him, even everyone else was afraid of Tang Ye because this was an existence that surpassed that demonic woman in natural talent and potential! Tang Ye turned around to look at Jang Wen before he said, “Qingxue is my friend, and I’m a member of Qingxue’s group. So, let’s just let this matter go here, and don’t come looking for trouble with her and this group in the future, alright?” When he heard Tang Ye’s tone that gave off a slight impression of weakness, Jang Wen instantly felt filled with confidence, and he immediately said, “Let it go? She humiliated me in front of everyone just now, so how can we let this matter go?” It’s another one of those fellows that don’t respond to reason! Tang Ye instantly came to an understanding, and he immediately nodded and said, “Since it’s like that, then let’s go to the Life and Death Arena!” Jang Wen’s eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he said in a low voice, “Tang Ye, this is a matter between Qingxue and me. Do you really intend to interfere?” Tang Ye nodded and said, “I’ve already told you that Qingxue is my friend. Alright, don’t waste your breath, let’s go to the Life and Death Arena?” Tang Ye would never waste his breath when facing someone that didn’t respond to reason because it was truly an extremely stupid thing to do. A cold light flashed in Jang Wen’s eyes when he saw Tang Ye act in such an overbearing manner, and he said with a gloomy expression, “Tang Ye, I admit that your strength and natural talent isn’t bad. But don’t think that you can bully disciples on the Outer Court Rankings because of that. The geniuses and experts on the Outer Court Rankings are beyond your imagination!”When he heard Jang Wen try to scare him off, Tang Ye laughed with ridicule and said, “You truly praise yourself too much. Can you even represent the entire Outer Court Rankings? Alright, please cut the crap. Will you come with me to the Life and Death Arena or not? Can you give me an answer?” “Give him an answer! Will you go or not? Weren’t you so confident just now?” “Exactly! What’s wrong? You’re scared now? If you’re not afraid, then go on! Isn’t it just the Life and Death Arena?” “Are all the disciples on the Outer Court Rankings existences that bully the weak but fear the strong? You challenge someone when that person is weaker than you, yet you shrink back when someone else is strong than you? If everyone on the Outer Court Rankings is like you, then I wouldn’t fight to get on the Outer Court Rankings in the future no matter what!” For a time, all the disciples behind Qingxue started ridiculing him successively. Jang Wen clenched his fists tightly when he heard them, and the bulged up veins on his forehead displayed that he was angry. There were numerous moments where he’d almost agreed, yet reason told him that he couldn’t agree to it because he didn’t have any confidence in being able to defeat someone that had passed through the 22nd level of the Sword Servant Pagoda! After a long time, Jang Wen took a deep breath, and then he glanced resentfully at Tang Ye before he turned around and intended to walk away. However, right when Jang Wen had turned around, Tang Ye called out to him. “Wait!”
