Chapter 2669
At that moment, Sheldon was struck speechless.
He could not believe he would lose in a battle of swordsmanship against James.
Moreover, he was utterly defeated and barely had a chance to retaliate.
“I-I lost.”
“So does that mean your sect’s swordmanship can’t live up to its renown?” James smiled faintly.
Sheldon roared, “No! I lost because I haven’t completely mastered the sword techniques. It has nothing to do with my sect’s
teachings. The Blade Sect’s swordsmanship is unparalleled and is the best in this world!”
“Is that so?” James looked at him doubtfully.
“I heard you’re the Blade Sect’s prodigy. If someone like you is so lousy, how strong can the Blade Sect’s swordsmanship
actually be?”
James looked at him contemptuously.
Then, he turned around and walked away from the arena.
At that moment, the Blade Sect’s Leader, the City Lord, and some of the city’s powerhouses stood outside the arena.
The City Lord’s face darkened, and he said, “This brat sure is arrogant. I’ll beat him to a pulp.”
The Blade Sect’s Elder looked at him and said, “What are you trying to do? Isn’t this already a big enough mess as it is?”
“I understand, but this outsider is acting too arrogantly. If we don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll think the Seafolk are pushovers,” the
City Lord said with dissatisfaction.
The Blade Sect’s Elder stroked his white beard and said, “He’s calling out the Blade Sect and our swordsmanship. It’s not your
fight, but mine. I’ll personally challenge him.”
After the Blade Sect’s Elder spoke, he appeared in the arena in the blink of an eye and blocked James’ path.
“You’re leaving already?” The Blade Sect’s Elder stood in the arena and smiled at James.
James looked at the old man that approached him. He recognized him as the Blade Sect’s Elder. If this was a different moment,
he would definitely greet this man with great respect. However, he had to keep up the act to prolong their stay and look for the
Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.
James said arrogantly, ‘What? You’re not going to let me leave?”
Sheldon walked over dejectedly and bowed his head to greet the man. “I’m sorry,
Elder. I didn’t learn the sword technique properly and embarrassed the Blade Sect.”
The old man waved his hand slightly and said, “Leave the arena.”
“Okay.” Sheldon turned and left the arena.
The old man looked at James and smiled at him. “You’re impressive. You came all the way to the Seafolk’s territory to challenge
the Blade Sect.”
James shook his head slightly and said, “I heard the Seafolk’s swordsmanship is unrivaled, so I came here specifically to
challenge it.
However, I’m slightly disappointed by what I’ve seen.”
“How about sparring with me?” The old man asked.
James took a few steps back and looked at the old man, saying, “Are you joking, Sir? You’re more senior than me. How could I
dare challenge you?”
“Haha! That’s not what you said earlier.” The old man smiled lightly.
James said hesitantly, “How about we test our swordsmanship against each other, Sir? Without using any Sage Energy. If you
can defeat me, I’ll immediately leave the Seafolk’s territory, but if you lose...”
“What if I lose?” asked the old man.
James looked around pensively, then replied, “I have a deep fascination with swords.
So if you lose, I ask that you bring me to the Blade Sect and let me have a look at the sword techniques you have.
James was aiming to stay in the Seafolk’s territory longer to find the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.
As for the sword techniques, he was not the least bit interested in them.
“Alright.”
The Blade Sect’s Elder agreed to James’ condition.
If James could defeat the Blade Sect’s Elder in swordsmanship, then it would prove that his swordsmanship was more profound
than the Blade Sect’s. However, seeing more techniques would be still beneficial for him to further his journey on the path of
swordsmanship.
Hearing that the Blade Sect’s Elder agreed to his condition, James could not help but chuckle.
