107: Being inferior to others is embarrassing.
The scene was too quiet.
Yuan Changfeng's words echoed in everyone's ears.
The Primal Sword Intent Origin... was obtained by Jiang Chen...?
How could this be possible?!
It's simply preposterous!
Unacceptable!
That heaven-shattering phenomenon, that pure to the extreme Origin Sword Intent, clearly belonged to their Taichu Dao Academy, it was Yuan Changfeng's Opportunity!
How could it... how could it fall into the hands of an outsider like Jiang Chen?!
After a brief silence, there was an uproar!
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"Senior Brother Yuan, what exactly is going on?!"
"Changfeng!"
"You... what did you say?!"
The Tomb Guardian Elder trembled violently, and he suddenly grabbed Yuan Changfeng's shoulder.
"Changfeng! Explain yourself clearly! What exactly happened!"
Yuan Changfeng's body trembled in the Elder's hand. He raised his hollow, bloodshot eyes and stared intently at Jiang Chen.
He laughed, but his laugh was uglier than a cry, and his voice was shrill.
"What's going on?"
He slowly raised his hand, trembling as he pointed at Jiang Chen.
"I... I was already about to succeed... On the altar, the Origin Sword Intent had already begun to merge with me..."
"But... but it suddenly lost control... It was extracted from my body..."
"It... it ran off on its own... ran off to find him..."
Yuan Changfeng, in a broken voice, recounted the unforgettable scene from the Sword Tomb.
Every word he spoke made the faces of the Taichu Dao Academy Disciples present grow a shade uglier.
When he finished his last word, the entire place completely erupted!
"Nonsense! How could an Opportunity run off on its own?!"
"It must be him! Jiang Chen!"
"He must have used some sinister, treacherous, evil demonic methods to steal the Opportunity that rightfully belonged to Senior Brother Yuan!"
"Shameless scoundrel! Hand over our Dao Academy's Origin Sword Intent!"
"Kill him! Avenge Senior Brother Yuan!"
Boom!
In an instant, dozens of powerful Qi exploded!
Led by the Tomb Guardian Elder, a group of Elders and Disciples from the Taichu Dao Academy, with bloodshot eyes and surging killing intent, immediately surrounded Jiang Chen.
They already disliked Jiang Chen's arrogant and condescending demeanor, and now with old and new grudges combined, they were determined to kill him.
Buzz!
A bone-chilling coldness suddenly spread.
Nangong Mingyue's beautiful face was icy cold, and she took a step forward, blocking Jiang Chen.
Her entire Qi erupted, and the might of her Profound Yin Sacred Body caused the surrounding temperature to plummet.
A space behind Jiang Chen subtly fluctuated, it was Jiang Jiu.
As long as the people of Taichu Dao Academy dared to make a move, Jiang Jiu would immediately strike to annihilate them!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Xiao Tiandu, Wen Yan, and others also appeared around Jiang Chen without hesitation, forming a standoff with the people of Taichu Dao Academy.
Swords drawn and bows bent!
A great battle was about to erupt!
As for Jiang Chen, the focus of all this, he maintained that calm, unruffled smile on his face from beginning to end.
It was as if the undisguised killing intent before him simply didn't exist.
He even let out a soft laugh.
Jiang Chen glanced at Ji Qingxue not far away, then bypassed Nangong Mingyue and slowly walked out.
His gaze swept over the pairs of murderous eyes present.
"What a Taichu Dao Academy."
"Being inferior in skill is one thing."
Jiang Chen's voice paused, his gaze finally falling on Yuan Changfeng.
"What?"
"Can't you handle losing?"
"Can't you accept defeat?"
"Now... are you planning to rely on sheer numbers and forcefully seize it?"
"Do you really take me, Jiang Chen, and my Hongtian Holy Land, for someone who can be bullied at will?!"
Question after question, like resounding slaps, fiercely struck the faces of every person from the Taichu Dao Academy.
Especially the words "can't handle losing" and "can't accept defeat," which were extremely scathing!
"You brat! How dare you be so arrogant!"
An Elder of the Dao Academy trembled with rage and roared.
"You used despicable means to steal our Dao Academy's Legacy, and you still dare to speak such wild words here! Today, you will not leave alive!"
"Exactly! Don't waste words with him! Everyone, let's go together and take him down!"
The crowd was furious!
And indeed, there was no more unnecessary talk.
The Void Realm trembled, and Jiang Jiu condensed a large hand, about to descend upon those people.
It seemed the situation was about to spiral completely out of control!
"Stop!"
A clear, cold shout rang out, and Ji Qingxue's figure flashed, blocking the space between the crowd and Jiang Chen.
Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed as she spoke coldly to the Elders: "Elders, please calm down! There are still many doubts about this matter, how can you act so rashly?"
However, at this moment, the crowd, whose minds were clouded by anger, no longer listened to her persuasion.
"Qingxue, move aside! This fiend first insulted our Dao Academy, then stole our Legacy, he absolutely cannot be tolerated today!"
"That's right! This matter has nothing to do with Senior Sister Qingxue!"
Ji Qingxue's face, for a moment, also became somewhat grim.
She hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.
Just as the situation began to spiral out of control, at that very moment.
A terrifying, extremely powerful pressure suddenly descended from the Nine Heavens!
All the enraged people of the Taichu Dao Academy present, whether Disciples or Elders, suddenly stiffened.
It was as if they were held down by a pair of invisible large hands, unable to move!
Only Jiang Chen and the few people around him, supported by the invisible Qi released by Jiang Jiu, remained unharmed.
An ancient voice resounded from the Void Realm.
"Enough."
Only two words.
The surging killing intent and rage in the entire place were extinguished instantly, as if a basin of ice water had been poured over their heads.
Everyone looked up at the sky in horror.
Yuan Changfeng's body suddenly stiffened, and the resentful and hateful expression on his face was instantly replaced by one of grievance.
"Revered Master..."
The Tomb Guardian Elder's expression also changed, and he quickly bowed respectfully to the Void Realm.
It was the Vice Dean!
Yuan Changfeng's Revered Master, the Vice Dean of Taichu Dao Academy, a true Tenth Realm, a Dao Fusion grand-power!
He was about to say something.
The majestic voice sounded again.
"Aren't you already disgraced enough?!"
Boom!
It struck him like a bolt of lightning, leaving him stunned on the spot.
Disgraced?
His Revered Master said he was... disgraced?
But he was the victim!
The majestic voice gave him no chance to argue.
"If your skill is inferior, then it is inferior!"
"This matter ends here."
"Changfeng, go back and reflect properly."
As the words fell, the terrifying pressure that had suppressed the entire scene also vanished into thin air.
The Void Realm returned to calm.
All the Disciples and Elders of the Taichu Dao Academy remained frozen in place, their expressions rapidly shifting between anger, unwillingness, and humiliation.
They stared intently at Jiang Chen, their eyes as if they wanted to devour him alive.
The Vice Dean had spoken, and they dared not disobey.
But they simply could not swallow this grievance!
As for Jiang Chen, he merely stood there, looking at Yuan Changfeng with a humorous gaze.
He even showed a truly regretful expression, shaking his head at Yuan Changfeng.
Then, under everyone's gaze, he led his group and left with a flourish.
