415: Chapter 415 Mo Feng, enraged, declares, "I challenge you to a duel!"

Xu Ruyu looked at Mo Feng, his gaze filled with mockery: "What did they do wrong? Elder Mo Feng, you led hundreds of people to surround my mountain gate, clamoring for my life, demanding I hand over Xiao Nianyin, and insulting and beating my Hehuan Sect Disciples—and you ask me what they did wrong?"

Mo Feng was stunned for a moment, then argued: "They only came to seek justice!

You killed people, shouldn't you give an explanation? They surrounded this place just wanting you to come out and clarify things!

You were the one who started the fight!

It was your Disciples who made the first move!"

"Seek justice?" Xu Ruyu's voice suddenly turned cold, as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice. "Bringing Magical Artifacts, bringing killing intent, blocking the entrance to my Hehuan Sect, and clamoring for my life—this is what you call seeking justice?"

He looked at those Taihu Clan Disciples, his voice even colder: "Also, do you want me to repeat the things you just called our Hehuan Sect?

Things like 'vixen', 'trash', 'slut', 'Bed-warming maid'—are these things that people seeking justice should say?"

The Taihu Clan Disciples lowered their heads one after another. Some were so ashamed their faces turned red, while others whispered: "I... I just followed along and shouted... I didn't say it..."

Xu Ruyu continued: "You surrounded my mountain gate, insulted my Sect, and bullied my Disciples, and now that I've beaten you, you say you're innocent? Elder Mo Feng, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

He paused, his voice suddenly rising: "Also, you say that since Zhou Jingxing and the others are dead, the matter should end here? Fine, then let me ask you—if they had succeeded with Xiao Nianyin, if she hadn't been rescued, what would you say? Would you say 'it ends here'? Would you have punished Zhou Jingxing?"

Mo Feng opened his mouth but couldn't find any words.

Xu Ruyu sneered: "You wouldn't.

You would only act as if nothing had happened.

Because Zhou Jingxing was your man, a Disciple of your, Mo Feng's, lineage.

You couldn't wait for them to succeed, you couldn't wait for Xiao Nianyin to be defiled, because that would strike a blow against me and against the Hehuan Sect!"

"Bullshit!" Mo Feng was driven to rage by his shame, his face turning bright red. "Xu Ruyu, you're slandering me!"

"I'm slandering you?" Xu Ruyu's voice grew even sharper. "Then tell me, did you ever care when Zhou Jingxing and his lot were out committing crimes and bullying men and women under your command?

When they forcibly took girls and drove them to jump into wells to commit suicide, did you ever punish them?

You didn't!

Not only did you not care, you even cleaned up their messes for them!

Because you were counting on them to risk their lives for you!"

Mo Feng was left speechless by the rebuttal, his old face flushing red, his lips trembling, and his finger pointing at Xu Ruyu, but he couldn't say a single word.

Among the elite Cultivators behind him, some also showed strange expressions.

A few who had good relations with the Zhou Family looked grim, but a few upright ones had already begun to frown.

Among the injured Taihu Clan Disciples, some lowered their heads in shame, while others whispered: "Elder Mo Feng... is it really like this?"

"Zhou Jingxing really did... did do many bad things in the past..."

"I remember that girl who jumped into the well last year, it seems she was..."

"Stop talking, stop talking..."

Hearing these discussions, Mo Feng's expression became increasingly ugly.

He knew that if he let Xu Ruyu continue speaking, his people's hearts would completely scatter.

"Enough!" he roared, his voice full of killing intent. "Xu Ruyu, you are eloquent and clever, I cannot outtalk you. But—"

He pointed at Xu Ruyu's nose and said word by word: "It is a fact that you killed my Taihu Clan Disciples and beat my Taihu Clan tribesmen!

Today, I want to duel you!

Do you dare?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

A duel?

Mo Feng, a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, wanted to duel Xu Ruyu, who was only at the Qi Refining Stage?

Wasn't this just bullying?

On the Hehuan Sect's side, everyone immediately became anxious.

The Grand Elder quickly stepped forward and said in a heavy voice: "Elder Mo Feng, you, a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, want to duel our Sect Master, who is at the Qi Refining Stage? Is this fair?"

Fifth Elder Hua Xunhuan also sneered: "Mo Feng, have you no shame? Bullying the young as an elder, and the weak as the strong—is this the style of your Taihu Clan?"

Granny Liu stepped forward leaning on her cane, a sharp light flashing in her cloudy old eyes: "Mo Feng, if you want to fight, this old woman will fight you.

What kind of skill is it to bully a junior?"

Zhou Daniu directly started cursing: "Mo Feng, you old shameless bastard!

Can't beat our Sect Master, so you want to use this kind of underhanded method? Do you have no shame? A Late Nascent Soul Stage fighting a Qi Refining Stage—even if you win, it's not honorable, and if you lose, it's even more embarrassing!"

Zhao Tiezhu also shouted: "Exactly! Mo Feng, if you want to fight, fight our Senior Brother Zhao! What kind of skill is it to bully our Sect Master?"

Li Ergou said sarcastically: "Oh, a Late Nascent Soul Stage fighting a Qi Refining Stage, Elder Mo Feng really is quite impressive!

No wonder you could teach such a 'good' Disciple like Zhou Jingxing; like teacher, like student!"

Mo Feng's face was ashen, and he shouted: "Shut up! This is a matter between Xu Ruyu and me, it's not your place to interfere!"

He looked at Xu Ruyu and said word by word: "Xu Ruyu, do you dare? If you don't, then take your people and get out of Tianyin Mountain!

And never come back!"

Xu Ruyu looked at him and remained silent for a moment.

In front of the mountain gate, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

The Hehuan Sect members were extremely anxious, while the Taihu Clan members had complex expressions.

The corners of Xu Ruyu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"A duel?" he spoke slowly. "Elder Mo Feng, are you sure?"

Mo Feng sneered: "What? You don't dare?"

Xu Ruyu shook his head and smiled: "It's not that I don't dare, it's that I'm afraid you'll regret it."

"Regret?" Mo Feng laughed loudly. "I, Mo Feng, have lived for hundreds of years and still don't know what regret means!

Xu Ruyu, if you don't dare, then just say it!

Don't just use your glib tongue here!"

Xu Ruyu looked at him, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.

"Fine, I agree."
