Chapter 1957: Challenge

Above the ancient ruins.
Two shadows darted through the air, one in front, the other in pursuit.
Mo Wangchen wielding a spear was fleeing, while behind him, Xiao Fan wore an expression of fury, chasing closely.
Such a scene also startled the others watching.
Everyone looked up in surprise, unable to help but exclaim, "What happened?"
"Isn't that the Invincible Body Xiao Fan?"
"Who would dare to provoke him?"
As the Saint Son of the Misha, and possessing one of the top ten physiques in history, Xiao Fan's name is known throughout the world.
Among his peers, there are only a handful who can be mentioned in the same breath.
Yet now, someone has actually provoked Xiao Fan to the point of anger, causing him to chase all the way out from the back mountain of the Daoist temple; who is this person?
“Mo Wang Chen, can you escape?!”
High in the sky, Xiao Fan shouted fiercely, his voice like thunder, rolling across the four corners.
“Mo Wangchen?”
“A familiar name...”
“Isn’t he the God King from Lizhou?”
“The one who obtained the Yan Tian Emperor's secret technique in the Tianxu Mountain Range?”
Everyone was surprised; clearly, they had heard of the name Mo Wangchen, but they didn't expect that the other party had also entered this place and was now entangled with the Overlord body Xiao Fan.
“听说这莫忘尘好像还只是逆生境实力吧？”
“不入合道，终为蝼蚁，竟敢招惹萧凡，不得不说此人真有胆魄。”
“到底发生了什么？据我所知，萧凡与这莫忘尘好像从未有过纠葛吧？”
“I'm afraid that something we don't know has happened in the back mountain; could it be that a secret treasure has appeared, causing a dispute between the two?”
"It's really possible!"
Everyone discussed, unable to help but have their eyes shine with excitement.
“Look, what does Mo Wangchen hold in his hand?”
“That is... a divine spear!”
“It carries the breath of supreme divine power; it’s actually a relic of the Ancient Sky Emperor!”
“No wonder Xiao Fan wanted to chase him; Mo Wangchen actually obtained a piece of supreme divine weapon!”
Many people were surprised, and they couldn't help but squint their eyes, each clearly harboring their own thoughts.
Clearly, the Supreme Divine Weapon is an object of unmatched strength throughout history, and no one can resist its allure.
“The divine weapon is without a master; anyone can seize it!” Some bold individuals stepped forward, eager to act.
But soon someone shook their head, “Forget about Chen, he's not too concerning; despite having the physique of a divine king, his cultivation is only at the Reverse Life stage. But his backer, Xiao Fan…”
“霸天体名震古今，萧凡更是天域当世的年轻王者之一，想在他手中夺得神兵，几乎没有可能。”
议论间，众人也是冷静了下来，显然，想要在萧凡眼皮子底下动手，这实为不智。
Not to mention the self-inflicted suffering, but it’s likely to offend Xiao Fan and the Mi Shuang Holy Land, which would be counterproductive.
"Buzz..."
In the high sky, the two have long chased outside the observation area, as Mo Wangchen wielded the Divine Halberd, with dark radiance shining in all directions, striking towards the relentless Xiao Fan.
The divine weapons and immense power shake the heavens; facing Mo Wangchen's attack, Xiao Fan, despite his arrogance, dared not confront head-on and could only retreat.
"Do you really think I can't kill you?"
Mo Wangchen lightly shouted, simultaneously stopping his steps and turning to face the other party.
His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone around.
"Arrogant!"
"With your Reverse Phase strength, how dare you claim you can kill me, Xiao Fan?"
He is disdainful, but that being said, Xiao Fan doesn't dare to show any signs of carelessness on his face.
After all, the power of divine weapons is too terrifying; a moment of negligence could lead to devastating consequences.
"Buzz..."
莫忘尘神戟挥动，于半空中斩下一道乌光，竟是停留在了天宇之中，犹如一道神罚之镰，横立于他与萧凡之间。
“If you dare to chase any further, crossing this line, I assure you, I will kill you even at the cost of my life.” He stood with the divine halberd, gazing at Xiao Fan, his eyes sparkling with brilliance.
Do not forget the madness of the world; although Xiao Fan possesses the strength of the fourth level of the Harmony Realm, far surpassing myself.
However, if I fight with all my strength and unleash all my trump cards, even if I die, I can still take Xiao Fan down with me.
"Are you threatening me?"
Xiao Fan squinted his eyes, surveying the current world of the heavens; who would dare to speak to him like this?
Moreover, the person before him was merely Mo Wangchen, whose cultivation was only at the Reverse Life stage.
"It's both a threat and a warning."
莫忘尘淡淡开口，与之对视，继续言道，“我虽不过逆生境七重，但若底牌尽出，拉你同葬绝非难事，萧凡，你堂堂弥霜圣子，又有霸天体在身，这诸多光环，你赌得起吗？”
When Xiao Fan heard this, he fell silent and stood still.
After a moment, he slowly said, "You are indeed very clever, and your methods are unpredictable. If we were to truly fight today, I could certainly kill you, but I would also have to pay a heavy price for it, making it not worth the cost."
He wasn't aggressive, knowing that even if he killed Mo Wangchen, the best outcome for him would still be heavy injury.
Now in this ancient ruin, with demons emerging everywhere, if he truly ended up seriously injured, there would surely be someone waiting to take advantage, which was something Xiao Fan did not wish to see.
“The Divine King's body, do not forget the dust…”
“我会去离州寻你，不只是你手中这把神戟，包括那至尊神图以及炎天帝秘术，到时皆为我萧凡囊中之物。”
He had reached the fourth level of the Dao Integration realm and had already reached its peak. As long as he could progress further and enter the fifth level, Xiao Fan would have absolute confidence in being able to kill Mo Wangchen while remaining unscathed himself.
But time does not wait for me; now is still not the best moment to strike.
“As I have grown, countless have wished to kill me; those from the past have failed, and you, Xiao Fan, will not succeed either. Since that is the case, I will wait for your arrival in Lizhou.”
```htmlMo Wangchen laughed heartily and ultimately disappeared into the horizon.
……
In the time that followed, Mo Wangchen visited various ruins, searching for valuable artifacts.
Now, his feud with Xiao Fan was thoroughly established; after this trip, the two would inevitably have a battle.```
Mo Wangchen knows that if he cannot quickly raise his cultivation level, he will inevitably become a lamb to be slaughtered in Xiao Fan's hands.
"Have you heard? Xiao Fan has challenged Mo Wangchen to a duel."
“Mo Wangchen? Is it that God King from Lizhou?”
“Exactly, it is that person!”
“Although I don't know the specific reasons, I've heard that Mo Wangchen only has the cultivation of the Reverse Life Realm, right? Xiao Fan is renowned throughout the Nine Provinces, a rare top-tier king among the young generation, how could he possibly pay any attention to Mo Wangchen?”
……
Rumors like this have long since spread throughout this space ruins.
Many were surprised; although there was a significant disparity in cultivation levels between the two sides, the fact that their physiques were in direct opposition was still quite worth noting.
“In the northwest direction, the Tomb of the Heavenly Emperor has appeared, and various parties are hastily heading there.”
“Is it really the Tomb of the Heavenly Emperor?”
“If that’s the case, how can we not go?”
On this day, as Mo Wangchen was walking alone, he happened to overhear such discussions.
He immediately set aside what he was doing and hurried in the northwest direction.
