Overestimating one's capabilities

Above the vast sky!

The Grand Elder's arrogant and domineering voice rang out again: "I have to say, you are the most foolish man I have ever seen."

"Today, you will pay the price for your foolishness."

"Hand over the Jian Lai Flying Ship that belongs to my Chiyang Clan, and considering that you know Qian Duoduo, I can spare your life!"

As these words were spoken!

Zhao Yu felt it was his time to make an appearance.

Today was the big day for him to repay his benefactor.

However, just as he was about to make a move again, he suddenly felt a meaningful gaze.

That gaze came from Qian Duoduo.

It was a look filled with a strong warning, telling him to mind his own business.

Zhao Yu, who had just stepped forward, showed a conflicted expression on his face.

In the end, he still withdrew his foot.

Qian Duoduo's background was too profound, so profound that it made him wary.

Even though he had a significant background in this region, there was still a huge gap between him and the forces behind Qian Duoduo.

He couldn't bring himself to ignore it.

"With my benefactor's strength, he should be able to handle these bandits!"

"Let's observe for now. If a real crisis erupts, then, even if it means offending this young master of the cultivation world, I will have to step forward and help my benefactor!"

After he made up his mind, he silently watched the situation unfold.

Just then, on the Jian Lai Flying Ship, Phoenix Aotian, who had been silent all this time, couldn't stand it anymore.

He looked at the Chiyang Clan members, his eyes deep, and said with a gloomy expression: "What are you all? Is my master someone you can slander?"

As soon as these words came out, they instantly triggered extreme dissatisfaction among the Chiyang Clan's high-ranking members.

They feared Qian Duoduo, but Zhong Qing and his group were nothing but soft persimmons in their eyes.

They could be squeezed however they wanted.

Now, a weakling dared to jump out and question them; this was a sign that they didn't take the Chiyang Clan seriously at all!

"Bastard, what is your status? Is this a place for you to speak?"

"Die!"

A fierce glint flashed in an Elder's eyes.

He immediately attacked without another word.

His action was meant to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.

However, the early bird gets shot.

The one who attacked first was also the one who died the fastest.

The next moment, he was gone!

His large head flew into the sky, and bright red blood gushed out like a fountain.

This scene deeply stimulated everyone present.

For the high-ranking members of the Chiyang Clan, Fourth Elder's strength was unquestionable.

Although he was only a First Heaven Supreme expert, he was still a well-known master in the entire Chiyang Clan.

But now, in a single encounter, they didn't even see how the enemy attacked, and he was gone.

This made them both shocked and enraged.

The shock was that the opponent seemed not as easy to handle as they had imagined.

The anger was that this was a master of the Chiyang Clan, their comrade, and now, he was brutally killed right in front of them.

This was truly too audacious!

"How dare you!"

"You dare to kill a member of my Chiyang Clan, you deserve to die."

The Grand Elder was furious, his eyes wishing he could swallow Phoenix Aotian alive.

"The anger of the weak is merely the most useless emotion."

In response, Phoenix Aotian stood with his hands behind his back, his face filled with a hint of murderous intent and coolness.

He calmly scanned everyone with his eyes.

"You all come at me together. Today, by offending my benefactor repeatedly, you have committed a path to death."

These words once again infuriated the Chiyang Clan members.

Phoenix Aotian's attitude directly provoked them.

Who did he think he was?

Was he worth them all rushing at him!

At this moment, Miyamoto Taku, who had been silent all along, stepped forward.

He looked deeply at Phoenix Aotian, and slowly drew the long blade from his waist: "I cannot deny that I misjudged you earlier."

"I didn't expect you to possess such strength."

"However, my Chiyang Clan cannot be bullied, nor can it be humiliated."

"You will pay the price for your arrogance."

"To deal with you, we don't need everyone; I alone am enough."

"Let's fight! This is a battle of dignity, and even more, a battle of life and death."

A powerful fighting spirit emanated from him.

Clearly, he intended to have a true man-to-man duel with Phoenix Aotian.

This was truly a strange race.

Towards those stronger than them, they would grovel and try their best to curry favor.

Towards those weaker than them, they would act arrogant, as if they were the strongest in the world.

Towards those of equal strength, they would talk about dignity and fairness.

While their bottom line was quite flexible, their ridiculous dignity was like underpants, firmly shaking in their pathetic and fragile hearts.

After Phoenix Aotian killed one of their members, they were indeed angry, but anger was secondary; more importantly, they developed a certain recognition and respect for his strength.

As their leader, Miyamoto Taku, challenged Phoenix Aotian, the other high-ranking members of the Chiyang Clan seemed to be injected with chicken blood, their whole bodies boiling with excitement, and a strange emotion swelling within them.

The Grand Elder Liu Song Yimu said excitedly: "The leader is the strongest expert of the Chiyang Clan. It is enough for this person to be proud to die by his hand."

"I remember the last time the leader was this serious was a thousand years ago, when he encountered an expert of his level. That time, the leader almost used his trump card to kill him."

"This person is somewhat extraordinary, able to instantly kill Fourth Elder."

"I speculate that even if he is not a Nine Heavens Supreme expert, he is at least a high-level Supreme expert."

"But I wonder, how long can he last?"

"Can he hold on for the time it takes an incense stick to burn?"

"Hard to say!"

"But I know that the leader never fights a battle he's not confident in. Since he has made his move, he must be certain of victory."

"I just hope this person's strength is greater, so he can show us a fierce struggle, and bring about a spectacular decisive battle."

Amidst the discussions!

Miyamoto Taku moved.

"Clang..."

A blade's cry pierced the sky, seemingly shaking a thousand miles.

A flash of blade light drew a magnificent rainbow across the sky, as if to shatter heaven and earth, kill all enemies, and with unparalleled sharpness, attacked Phoenix Aotian.

This blade even unleashed a trace of blade dao rules.

"Leader... so... so strong!"

A Chiyang Clan Elder swallowed his saliva.

He had no doubt that if he were to face this blade, he would surely die.

Could Phoenix Aotian block this blade?

The answer was naturally yes.

Undeniably, Miyamoto Taku, as a Nine Heavens Supreme expert, was considered outstanding even among those of the same realm.

But who was Phoenix Aotian?

The Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound, a former Great Sage expert, a race that has always been known for being invincible in the same realm.

To activate a trace of rule power in front of him, in Phoenix Aotian's eyes, was simply a three-year-old child wielding a large saber, overestimating his own abilities!
