Chapter 2285: One Finger Is Enough

Ao Feng already knew that Zheng Yang and the others were personal disciples of the Nine Heavens Conferred God in front of him. Not to mention the teacher's strength, which even Emperor Jue Dan couldn't defeat, Zheng Yang and the others were also not opponents that these seasoned veterans could contend with! He had fought one of them before, knew the gap, and they were not on the same level at all.

To team up against them, right in front of their teacher... Are you tired of living, or do you really wish to die?

"What? Are you afraid?" Seeing his hesitation, God King Liuyan snorted coldly, "It's just about teaming up to compete for the lotus leaves. Even if they're displeased, what can they do to us? Surely, the dignified Cloud Dragon Clan isn't scared, are they?"

"It's not that I'm scared..." Ao Feng hesitated.

"Good, as long as you're not scared, it's settled..." Without waiting for his refusal, God King Liuyan looked at Zhang Xuan and the other person not far away. "What about you two?"

"We'll pass..." Zhang Xuan shook his head.

"He's only powerful because of his magical artifacts; his own strength is limited. As for that Luo Qiqi, I haven't even heard of her. Not having reached the Conferred God rank makes it all in vain... one more or one less makes no difference!"

"That's true, they're just two young juniors. What strength could they possibly have?"

Seeing him decline, everyone simultaneously shook their heads, completely unconcerned.

"They're here..."

As they were discussing, God King Liuyan exclaimed softly. Everyone quickly turned their heads and saw a ripple in the space not far away, as a figure swiftly flew towards them. It was a slender girl, holding a long sword, looking valiant and spirited.

"God King Zhao Ya..."

Upon seeing her, God King Luoying felt his scalp tingle as if it would explode. The treasure he had spotted had been claimed by her, who got there first.

Swish! Raising his long sword, he pointed it directly at the girl: "Zhao Ya, I know your strength is great, but if we seasoned God Kings unite, you won't gain anything by refusing to yield..."

Zhao Ya glanced at him, said nothing, and continued flying towards them.

Clang! Seeing her attitude, the other God Kings simultaneously raised their weapons, preparing for a formidable enemy. God King Zhao Ya's strength was absolutely among the foremost of the Conferred God Kings. While so many of them uniting could overpower her, fighting her would undoubtedly result in significant losses. They only hoped this display of vigilance would make her retreat.

"Trying to stop me?" Zhao Ya's eyelids lifted, her dark hair fluttering around her face, exuding an inherent arrogance.

"We're not trying to stop you; we just want to compete fairly with you..." God King Luoying snorted.

"I don't have time right now!"

Waving her hand, Zhao Ya continued to advance.

"Impudent!""How dare you!""Such arrogance..."

Seeing that she still advanced despite their words, God King Liuyan and several other Conferred God Kings immediately became furious, letting out roars and simultaneously launching their attacks. As several God Kings attacked simultaneously, the space before them immediately formed a massive barrier of true energy. The swirling currents within it gave a sense of void, as if anyone who dared to rush forward would surely die.

Zhao Ya frowned, shook the long sword in her hand, and transformed into a streak of sword light, piercing directly into the barrier. The barrier formed by several God Kings instantly collapsed with a crash. Everyone simultaneously retreated, their faces pale and filled with disbelief. Although they had known for a long time that her strength was great, they never expected it to be this formidable! With her power alone, she completely shattered the barrier they had formed together.

"Ao Feng, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and act..."

Their attack was blocked, and God King Liuyan was full of urgency, roaring loudly. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhao Ya, who had charged forward, arrive before Ao Feng and the others, her eyes slightly red, and she knelt on the ground as her knees gave way.

"Your unfilial student, Zhao Ya, greets her teacher!"

"Student?""Teacher?"

Everyone was stunned. Only then did God King Liuyan and the others realize that the girl was kneeling before God King Zhang Xuan, whom they had just looked down upon. Her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes were moist due to intense emotion. Everyone was dumbfounded. What was happening? This incredibly fierce Zhao Ya, who was inhumanly powerful even among Conferred God Kings, was *his* student? Wasn't this guy just a pill seller? When did he become Zhao Ya's teacher?

Whoosh! As they were too shocked to speak, they heard the roar of air currents again from all directions, and ten more people flew over.

"Oh no, it's Zheng Yang and the others...""They really did team up..."

Recognizing the figures, the many seasoned God Kings again looked tense, each raising their weapons, also wanting to block them. Then they saw these people, every one of them with reddened eyes, simultaneously kneeling down just like Zhao Ya.

"Your unfilial student, Zheng Yang, greets his teacher...""Your unfilial student, Liu Yang, greets his teacher..."

Their voices rose and fell, and more than a dozen top-tier God Kings who had made them tremble were now all kneeling on the ground, each with looks of reverence and excitement in their eyes.

"This Zhang Xuan... he's their teacher too?""The most powerful Conferred Gods taken in by the Six Great Emperors of the God Realm are all *his* students?""Can someone tell me if I'm seeing things?"

God King Liuyan and the others were completely losing their minds. They had seen extraordinary things before, but never anything this unbelievable. Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and the others were all incredibly powerful; they were no match for them. They had expected a bitter struggle if they encountered each other, but it never occurred to them in their wildest dreams that they were all students of the same person... Did it have to be this exaggerated?

"Just now... we seemed to be looking down on him...""We've lost the best time to win him over. Whatever we say now is useless..."

Everyone felt tears welling up in their eyes. When God King Ao Feng introduced him just now, everyone had dismissed it, even thinking the other party was somewhat arrogant. Only now did they realize, what arrogance? Weren't they the arrogant ones? Regardless of his strength, simply having so many amazing students meant that even if they gave him the grandest reception, or even acclaimed him as their leader, it wouldn't be excessive. Alas... time had passed, and anything they did now would be futile.

"Rise!"

Ignoring everyone's shock, Zhang Xuan looked at his many students, all of whom had become Conferred God Kings, and nodded with great satisfaction. These students truly lived up to expectations, and his years of diligent teaching were not in vain.

"It's said there's a very powerful expert, a Nine Heavens Conferred King. Has Teacher encountered him?"

After the formalities, Zheng Yang stood up, his long spear emitting a wailing hum.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

"I've heard the Emperor always speaks highly of him, and I'm not convinced. I want to meet him and see whether the disciples taught by Teacher are stronger, or if that fellow is more formidable!" Zheng Yang declared with soaring pride.

Zhang Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry and shook his head: "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely!" Zheng Yang nodded, and many other disciples also eagerly prepared for a challenge. Only Zhao Ya covered her forehead, as if she didn't know any of them.

"Alright then, come at me, all of you!" With one hand behind his back, Zhang Xuan extended his index finger. "One finger is all I need!"
