Chapter 167: Challenge in the Ring
Fengdao, in the loft.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the ancient old man. Whether to beat or kill Zhang Yunxian today depends on his words.
"Patriarch, Fang Yao has the courage to say a few words, is it okay?" Fang Yao finally couldn't help it, ignoring Ning Meng's repeated dissuasion, stood up, looked at the old man with some anger and said.
"Hmph, you still have the face to speak, you forget the ancestral teachings, you mess with the human race, and when we finish cleaning up the Apocalypse, we will slowly settle accounts with you!" The third elder's face was indifferent, and his eyes were full of disdain.
"Zu Xun has said that we, as the people of the remnant clan, are not allowed to intermarry with ordinary humans, but is the Apocalypse an ordinary human being? What's wrong with me? Besides, the Apocalypse is the mortal enemy of our Tianfeng Remnant Clan, we have never heard of it, how can we prove it true or false?"
"Fang Yao!" the third elder shouted angrily, "Are you questioning the power of the patriarch and our elders?
Fang Yao herself is a stubborn temper, and this matter is all because of her, how can she still control it when she hears that the third elder is so domineering.
"I'm just questioning, how about it? If you have the ability, you can come up with evidence and show everyone what the Apocalypse has done to harm our Tianfeng Remnant Clan?"
"You...... You...... You are presumptuous!" The third elder was a little incoherent, he had been an elder for more than 200 years, and he had never seen a clansman dare to be disrespectful to himself in the slightest, but today, a yellow-haired girl dared to contradict herself like this.
Once Fang Yao's temper came up, he was a little careless, and he didn't pay attention to the scolding of the three elders at all.
"What has the civilization of human society developed now, do you know? Feudalism has been eliminated more than 100 years ago, and now mankind has begun to pay attention to civilization, democracy, and freedom.
Ning Meng watched Fang Yao go berserk from the side, his eyes widened in horror, these words, the two of them usually talk about them in private, but in front of the whole clan, it was really irrational to attack the patriarch and several elders.
"Sister Fang Yao!" she was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the hem of Fang Yao's clothes and reminded her not to say any more.
"Ahem...... Okay!very good!" The old man, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
His fingers tapped gently on the armrest of the chair to make a rhythmic sound, and the room was silent for a moment.
"Ahem...... I didn't expect it, cough ...... Our Tianfeng Relic Clan...... There was such a rebel!" The old man's face turned crimson, obviously angry at what Fang Yao had just said.
After saying this, the old man coughed violently again, and the second elder hurriedly reached out and gently soothed him on his back.
"Patriarch, don't be angry!"
The old man coughed and pointed to the statue of the phoenix god in the square outside the door, unable to utter a complete sentence.
The second elder took the old man's hand back, and said eagerly: "Patriarch, no, what are you doing? It's just a child saying something ignorant, why do you need to be like her?"
The third elder was also startled when he saw the old man's movements, he knew what the old man's finger meant.
It seems that the old man is really annoyed and wants to teach Fang Yao a lesson!
Ning Meng pulled Yao a few times, and he was about to cry.
"Sister Fang Yao, you hurry up and admit your mistake to the patriarchs, do you really want to be beaten to death by them?"
Zhang Yunxian never said a word, and his face was calm.
Seeing this, he seemed to yawn a little bored.
"You old guys, you really rely on the old and sell the old!" Zhang Yun's idle and lazy voice unceremoniously pointed to the top ones.
"You shut up for me, it's all because of you! Patriarch, you are angry, Fang Yao is just confused for a while, she doesn't really question us, she wants to challenge our authority!" The second elder heard Zhang Yunxian's voice, scolded him with some disgust, and then turned around and persuaded the old man bitterly.
"Ahem...... Needless to say...... I've made up my mind!cough...... Since the clansmen questioned...... Then go to the idol and break it...... The one who wins becomes the new patriarch, and we all listen to him...... cough cough cough ......"
Fang Yao's face froze, and he said even more angrily: "I'm just asking my question, and you're going to break off with me in front of the god statue?"
As a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Relic Clan, she certainly understood what it meant to be cut off in front of the idol.
Win or lose!
The patriarch obviously didn't know one thing, that is, Fang Yao's strength had actually grown by leaps and bounds in just half a day.
Therefore, what Fang Yao was angry about was that the patriarch made it clear that he wanted to kill chickens and monkeys, and wanted to use the opportunity to kill himself in front of the idol to defend their obscenity.
Zhang Yunxian walked up to Fang Yao, looked at her somewhat moist eyes, reached out and gently rubbed her hair, and said affectionately: "Little girl, don't be afraid! Go ahead, give them a little color!"
Fang Yao's heart suddenly settled down, all the helplessness and anger disappeared all at once, there was a firm gaze in his eyes, and he nodded at Zhang Yunxian.
"Okay, patriarch, two elders, I, Yao, officially challenge you!"
As soon as the words came out, all four were shocked!
"Sister Fang Yao, you don't want to die!" The most nervous person was Ning Meng, whose little face was frightened as if she had seen a ghost.
"Fang Yao, have you been brainwashed by the Apocalypse, how can you be disrespectful to the patriarch?"
"Yes, Yaoyao, your parents died early when you were a child, but we grew up watching and have always been the most well-behaved and obedient children, why are you so ignorant today?"
"Patriarch, don't be as knowledgeable as Fang Yao, she's still a child, don't be surprised!"
In the hall, the voices of one after another suddenly turned into a pot of porridge.
"Ahem......" The old man coughed, and everyone suddenly fell silent again.
The old man's body, which had been lying on his back, suddenly straightened up, took a deep breath, and said slowly but firmly: "All the clansmen are witnesses, today Fang Yao challenged the position of the patriarch, and judged right and wrong by winning or losing!"
After speaking, the old man made a color to the two elders.
The third elder took the lead in taking a step, arched his hand, and said, "Since the patriarch has made up his mind, then I will fight first!"
Fang Yao snorted coldly, didn't speak, turned around and walked out of the hall, and walked towards the Tianfeng Divine Statue in the square.
Seeing Fang Yao ignoring him like this, the Third Elder's eyes also flashed with a fierce color, and he flashed out without saying a word.
Ning Mengjue's sky was about to fall, Fang Yao and her had been sisters who had a very good relationship since childhood, how could she accept it, watching Fang Yao die so miserably in front of her?
As a result, Ning Meng turned his head, but saw Zhang Yunxian's relaxed and uncaring expression, and the anger in his heart was like finally finding an outlet.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Sister Fang Yao is going to die! If it weren't for her being with you, how could such a thing happen!"
"Don't worry, she'll be fine!" Zhang Yunxian's smile seemed to have a calming magic.
Ning Mengjue's Zhang Yunxian said this groundlessly, you must know what Fang Yao wants to challenge, but the three old monsters who have lived in the clan for hundreds of years, how old is Fang Yao this year? Twenty-one years old, okay?
Are you kidding?
But it's very strange that Ning Meng looked at Zhang Yunxian's confident smile, but he felt that he should believe him.
"Are you sure?"
Zhang Yunxian nodded exaggeratedly and said, "Of course, I'm very sure, you wait to watch the show!"
The voice was very small, and only he and Ning Meng could hear it.
"Okay! I'll take a closer look, are you bragging! If Sister Fang Yao has a little bit of a worry about her life, I will be the first to not let you go!" Ning Mengse threatened in Zhang Yunxian's ear.
"Okay, let's go, they're about to start!"
"You wait for me!"
The two of them followed one after the other, and followed the clansmen towards the center of the square.
Under the more than 100-meter-high Phoenix God Statue, there was a five-meter-square ring, Fang Yao and the Third Elder stood facing each other, their faces were not very good-looking.
Next to him, an older clansman took out a fine incense stick more than three inches long, lit it, and inserted it on the edge of the ring.
"If the incense burns out, both of them are still standing on the stage, and the winner is determined by the degree of injury, and the seriously injured one is the loser!
The old man of the clan read out the rules aloud and confirmed them with Fang Yao and the three elders before he sighed and solemnly announced, "Let's start!"
"I'll let you make three moves, you can do it!" Before the third elder could speak, he heard Fang Yao on the other side say in a cold voice.
"Hahaha...... Fang Yao, this should be the right thing for me to say to you! Let me make three moves? One move of mine is enough for you!"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" Fang Yao was not a girl who loved to talk, otherwise she would not have become the 'Ice and Snow Goddess' by the boys of Deren Academy.
The three elders' noses were crooked, and they shouted: "Okay! This is your own fault, don't blame me for not thinking about my kindred race!"
Before he could finish speaking, his black figure struck Fang Yao's position like lightning.
The three elders went quickly, but Fang Yao avoided it faster.
When the third elder stabilized his body, he found that Fang Yao had already disappeared in place.
"There are two more tricks!" Fang Yao's voice, without a hint of emotion, fell on the ears of the third elder, and it actually made him shudder.
The patriarch and the second elder in the audience also changed their faces when they saw this scene.
"Ahem...... Yan Zhi, don't be merciful, take action quickly, and correct this rebel!" the old man said loudly to the three elders in the ring.
Zhang Yun smiled indifferently and said to Ning Meng beside him: "Look, the old guy is scared and is starting to lose his breath, right?"
The voice was neither loud nor small, but it reached the old man's ears......
