Chapter 5008 Picking the weak persimmon

"Which of you will challenge first?"

After Xu Ting finished speaking, none of the seven outside challengers came forward, and the scene fell into silence.

This situation was unexpected by everyone.

The Fire Sect disciples who were originally full of expectations were suddenly stunned.

After a moment of silence, a Fire Sect disciple shouted: "Why, aren't you going to challenge the Fire Guard disciples? Why don't you dare?"

"If you don't dare, what are you doing here?"

"What a disappointment. They turned out to be a bunch of cowards."

…

The shouts of the Fire Sect disciples made even the outside challengers feel a little embarrassed.

However, the sinister young man sitting between Feng Linjun and Zhang Tan still looked calm and indifferent, saying nothing, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"It looks like they are scared."

Hua Cheng curled her lips, with an impatient expression on her face, and said to Wan Jun beside her: "Senior Brother Wan, if I had known this, I wouldn't have come."

Wan Jun said in a deep voice: "No need to worry."

Shang Lianxiu glanced at the seven people opposite him with disdain and muttered: "A bunch of cowards."

What people didn't expect was that despite being called cowards by Shang Lianxiu, the seven external challengers still sat still. No one said a word, and no one dared to stand up and challenge Shang Lianxiu or Hua Cheng.

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward for a while.

Xu Ting looked displeased and said to the seven outside challengers: "What, you don't want to challenge? If you don't challenge, then today is over and you can leave the Fire Gate."

Speaking of which, if the seven challengers don't take a stand, it will completely offend Huomen.

After all, you are here, and Huomen has caused such a big battle, but you don't challenge it. Isn't it just that Huomen is having fun.

"Elder Xu, it's not that I don't challenge."

Feng Linjun, who was known as the Lion King, finally couldn't sit still. He stood up and bowed to Elder Xu and said, "It's just because the person I want to challenge is not here."

"You want to challenge Chen Yang?"

Xu Ting immediately understood that the fire-protecting disciple Feng Linjun wanted to challenge was none other than Chen Yang.

In other words, Feng Linjun's first target is Chen Yang.

Not only him, the first choice opponent of the other six challengers present was Chen Yang.

It's very simple. Chen Yang's realm is the eighth level of two stars, and he has recently become a fire protection disciple. No matter from any aspect, he is the weakest among the nine fire protection disciples.

In this case, they had the best chance of challenging him, so Feng Linjun and others were naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

After all, their purpose is to become fire guardian disciples and obtain the resources of the fire sect, not to show off their talents here.

Suddenly, everyone present understood the thoughts of the seven challengers.

A smile appeared on Xuanya's lips, and she said to Li Shuheng and Hu Dong: "Haha, as I expected, they want to challenge Chen Yang."

Hu Dong rubbed his beard and said, "These people really don't know their own strength. If they challenge Chen Yang, they are asking for trouble."

However, Li Shuheng looked solemn, staring at the young man with a gloomy face across from him, and said through a message: "It's better not to underestimate them, the others are fine, but I always feel that the person next to Feng Linjun is not that simple. If he challenges Chen Yang, Chen Yang is likely to lose."

Xuanya and Hu Dong looked at the gloomy young man, but they didn't feel the same way as Li Shuheng. They just felt that this man was gloomy and mysterious after all, and not as powerful as Li Shuheng said.

Hu Dong sent a message: "Young Master Li, don't worry too much. This person looks very ordinary."

Xuanya also said: "I think his strength may not be as good as Feng Linjun and Zhang Tan."

"Anyway, if Chen Yang returns later, he must be reminded to be careful about this person."

Li Shuheng felt that what Hu Dong and the two said made sense, but he still felt that the Yinwu youth was strange and had a special sense of familiarity. He couldn't figure out what was familiar about him for a while.

"Elder Xu, this junior wants to challenge Chen Yang."

When Feng Linjun saw Xu Ting saying what he was thinking, he nodded and admitted.

Xu Ting said in a deep voice: "But Chen Yang is not here now. If you want to challenge, you can choose someone else."

This external selection, Huomen is preparing for the Five Elements Ceremony.

What they want is a truly strong person, even if they cannot reach the level of Li Shuheng and Wan Jun, they must at least be on par with Hua Cheng.

If it can only defeat the weakest among the fire-protecting disciples, it doesn't mean much.

So when Xu Ting saw the other party challenging Chen Yang, he did not mediate, but asked them to challenge others.

Feng Linjun obviously didn't expect to get such an answer, and he suddenly froze there.

At this time, the only female cultivator among the seven external challengers stood up and said to Xu Ting: "Elder Xu, this open selection shows that you can choose to challenge your opponent, but now, why do you want to hide Chen Yang? Is it possible that Huo Ting Don’t you even follow the rules you set yourself?”

The female cultivator made rude remarks, and Xu Ting's tone deepened: "It's not your turn to point fingers at Huomen. Now Chen Yang is in retreat. He can't leave for the time being and cannot accept the challenge. If you just want to challenge Chen Yang, then give up. , leave the fire door immediately."

Having said that, in fact, Xu Ting also felt that he was losing face for violating the rules.

The Fire Sect disciples who were watching the battle also felt that it was a bit overwhelming.

The female cultivator seemed to have a temperament that was not afraid of trouble. She bit the bullet and said to Xu Ting: "Elder Xu, I would like to ask, if you come back tomorrow, can you challenge Chen Yang?"

"have no idea."

Xu Ting really didn't know that Chen Yang could last for two days in the Yaotian Flame Cave. Who knew if he would last for three days.

The female cultivator was speechless and didn't know how to communicate with Xu Ting.

You can't have to let others hand over Chen Yang.

"Since Chen Yang is not here, I will choose another person to challenge."

At this time, a cultivator sitting on the far left stood up.

The stalemate finally eased, and both Feng Linjun and the female cultivator sat back in their seats.

"It's Sun Heng."

"He is also a genius. I wonder who he will challenge?"

The Fire Sect disciples were excited again. They were looking forward to the battle. They had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Sun Heng's eyes swept over the nine fire-protecting disciples. He would definitely not dare to challenge three-star cultivators like Li Shuheng and Wan Jun.

Finally, his eyes fell on Hu Dong. This man was slovenly and did not look so powerful.

"I challenge you."

Sun Heng pointed to Hu Dong and made a choice.

Seeing this, the Fire Sect disciples all laughed.

Hu Dong's strength is not weak. In their view, Sun Heng's choice of Hu Dong was a huge mistake and he will be severely punished.

Hearing the laughter of the Fire Sect disciples, Sun Heng knew that he had made the wrong choice.

However, having made his choice, he could only bite the bullet.

But at this moment, Xu Ting suddenly looked towards the entrance of the passage under the Yanshan Mountain.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look over.

I saw two cultivators walking out of the passage.

One of the two-star eighth-level cultivators was wearing the clothes of a fire-protecting disciple.

Although no one had seen him, they immediately understood that he was Chen Yang.

"I challenge him, I want to challenge Chen Yang."

Sun Heng's eyes shone brightly, and he quickly shouted and changed the target of his challenge, as if he had found a huge advantage.
