"Martial Saint, under these circumstances, if you were to make a bet with a good-for-nothing, the martial arts world would surely laugh their heads off."
"Although the Martial Saint may not know much about Xu Fengnian, I know myself very well."
"I've never learned any advanced martial arts in my life, and I know I'm not very talented."
"I'm not really interested in those extremely powerful martial arts manuals."
"Besides, I know I can't learn it anyway, so I'm too lazy to bother with it."
Xu Fengnian made up a reason and spoke to the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm.
However, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm did not care at all after hearing Ye Fan's words.
After all, he wasn't sure whether Xu Fengnian's words were true or false.
However, he had no idea just how capable Xu Fengnian was.
“You are indeed being a bit too modest, and you can see that now.”
“Your old servant is indeed quite capable, able to protect you by your side; you should feel fortunate.”
Why be so self-deprecating? Does it mean you really have no confidence in your own abilities?
"Or do you have greater doubts about the capabilities of your family's old servant?"
Martial Saint Ye Fan spoke calmly to Xu Fengnian, and Xu Fengnian looked at the two people fighting on the field after hearing his words.
Finally, he turned his gaze to Martial Saint Ye Fan.
In his opinion, what exactly did Ye Fan mean by saying that? Could it be that he just wanted to know more about him?
In any case, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm is high above, and his strength is probably far beyond what I can compare to.
However, Xu Fengnian naturally had a certain understanding of his own abilities.
Although others may not know the extent of Xu Fengnian's abilities, as the Crown Prince...
He had indeed learned some skills from the Sword God Li Chungang, and had also obtained a very powerful Great Imperial Armor from Wudang Mountain.
As long as you fight with someone, it's enough to show how much strength you really have.
But under these circumstances, why should Xu Fengnian show off his (Li Li's) strength?
Although I now have some ability, the world is in turmoil.
Moreover, Wangjian Mountain is arguably the biggest variable.
Whether it's the Northern Cold Kingdom or the Li Yang Dynasty, they all have a different perspective on Wangjian Mountain.
Therefore, it's best to be honest and not show any of your strength.
In this situation, as long as those who don't care about the truth know about your situation, you can copy it.
So, if I continue to drift along like this, it probably won't be so easy at all.
"...Your words, Martial Saint, seem somewhat extreme."
Chapter 230 Golden Dragon Entangled
"I have already made myself very clear to the Martial Saint. I am just an ordinary mortal."
"Putting aside my status as a prince, I am no different from an ordinary person. Why should a martial arts master care about my identity?"
"If the Martial Saint believes that someone can win this competition, then the Martial Saint's idea must be correct."
"Why bother asking an ordinary mortal?"
At this moment, Xu Fengnian was somewhat impatient and spoke to the Martial Saint Ye Fan. After hearing Xu Fengnian's words, the Martial Saint did feel somewhat helpless.
What he said wasn't entirely untrue.
Although he didn't know how capable Xu Fengnian was, why should he keep pressing him under these circumstances?
Even though this guy is somewhat mysterious, he has already arrived at Wangjian Mountain.
He was also a guest of Wangjian Mountain, and moreover, he came from Beihan, where King Xu Xiao of Beihan had already pledged allegiance to him.
To some extent, 553 should have been very respectful to him, but it seems that the guy's attitude towards him is lukewarm.
Whether it represents Bei Han or his own incompetent nature, the Martial Saint of the Human World is not entirely clear on these matters.
"Hahaha, what you said makes some sense. I really am asking you these questions, but what practical significance do they have?"
"You do have some cultivation, but on this Wangjian Mountain, your skills are really nothing."
After saying this, Ye Fan ignored Xu Fengnian and turned his gaze directly to the two people on the field.
After all, in his memory, the two people in front of him were evenly matched in terms of fighting skills, and it was really difficult for Ye Fan to judge who would win or lose.
However, he was also very clear in his heart that Old Huang's strength was indeed quite good.
While he didn't know much about Lao Huang, he knew his apprentice Li Yiyang very well.
His own disciples received his true teachings, and as disciples of the Martial Saint of the Mortal World, none of them were lacking in strength.
However, Old Huang had a wealth of combat experience; he had been in the martial arts world for who knows how long.
Under these circumstances, their strength may indeed be not to be underestimated.
The two were evenly matched in hand-to-hand combat, but in swordsmanship, Old Huang's skill truly surprised this martial arts master.
It's truly baffling how this old man protecting the Crown Prince could possess such formidable abilities.
The two fought back and forth for nearly 100 moves, but neither could gain the upper hand.
Old Huang was quite surprised and couldn't understand why the sword in the young man's hand seemed to be alive.
It coiled around him like a golden dragon.
It might not be so simple for me to break through this encirclement and attack him.
"Young people really have incredible skills. I, an old man, am truly impressed."
Old Huang held a precious sword in his hand and launched various attacks on Li Yiyang, but even so, breaking through Li Yiyang's encirclement was not so easy at all.
We had no choice but to give up halfway.
After fighting for so long, he hadn't been able to launch a single effective attack on Li Yiyang.
Old Huang was genuinely surprised, and he also understood that Li Yiyang was indeed exceptionally skilled, worthy of being the disciple of the Martial Saint of the Mortal World.
This guy's strength is simply too formidable. With such power, he could easily rank among the top 20 in the martial arts world.
After hearing what Lao Huang said, Li Yiyang did feel a sense of pride.
In his view, no matter what, the old man had not deceived him.
Li Yiyang indeed had great confidence in his swordsmanship.
In his mind, he had already received personal instruction from a disciple of a martial arts saint in swordsmanship.
Under these circumstances, dealing with such an old man would be far too easy; he wouldn't even acknowledge the power of force.
But now it seems that Li Yiyang has completely changed his mind.
Although this guy looks quite old, his strength is truly extraordinary; he's even carrying a precious sword around himself.
This leaves them with absolutely no opportunity to attack.
If it were someone else in this situation, they would ultimately lose as well.
Fortunately, he had a Dragon Roar Sword in his hand.
You should know that this Dragon Roar Sword was passed down to him by his master.
Under such circumstances, perhaps no one in the entire martial arts world would be able to break through this encirclement.
"You flatter me, sir."
Chapter 231 He's still too weak
Li Yiyang himself has great confidence in his own abilities.
However, in his mind, he wasn't entirely clear about his own strength, even considering the entire martial arts world.
Even so, his strength is not to be underestimated. In any case, the old man's strength should be considered quite good.
Under these circumstances, the fact that he was able to fight to a draw with me is enough to show that my strength is indeed quite good.
Moreover, having already received his master's true teachings, in this state, defeating him would likely be effortless.
However, this old man was extremely experienced in battle, wielding his precious sword with incredible skill, moving it up and down around him.
Defeating this old man in the shortest amount of time might not be so simple after all.
"The old man's strength is truly formidable; my abilities are nothing compared to his."
Li Yiyang was indeed very humble, and he spoke directly to Old Huang.
The sword in his hand was indeed tightly wrapped around him, for fear that Old Huang might suddenly find an opening and defeat him.
Although he was very confident in his own abilities, he was also very clear about the situation.
As long as nothing goes wrong, everything will be fine. But if this old Huang really manages to find a loophole, wouldn't that be a bit troublesome?
He truly admired Old Huang's abilities, and in his opinion, the person who could protect Xu Fengnian was probably no ordinary good person at all.
I was only able to fight him for so long by relying on the sword in my hand.
