Chapter 114 Arrogant
Upon hearing Miyamoto Musashi's words, the three elders of Tianyuan involuntarily rolled their eyes.
This old fellow was blatantly lying!
The three of them had always been with the Old Southern Border King, but they had never seen or heard of him ever crossing hands with Miyamoto Musashi.
"Ahem, Master Musashi jests, we three have been followers of the Old Southern Border King all our lives, yet never have we heard that he had ever sparred with Master Musashi."
The elder spoke with a light cough.
Miyamoto Musashi, hearing this, merely chuckled and then said, "The Old Southern Border King, what a status he had. Was he really supposed to report everything to you?"
"The duel between myself and the Old Southern Border King all those years ago was scarcely known, seen as a private encounter between the Old Southern Border King and myself!"
"Therefore, I have come to the Southern Border in a personal capacity this time, wishing to duel the strong of the Southern Border and put to rest the regret of my defeat by the Old Southern Border King!"
Hearing this, the three elders of Tianyuan all showed troubled expressions.
Facing a genuine battler like Miyamoto Musashi, where could they find another battler of his caliber to fight him?
If they agreed to this, the side of the Southern Border would undoubtedly be defeated!
The elder fell into a slight silence, then spoke, "Master Musashi, the Old Southern Border King has already passed away many years ago."
"Let bygones be bygones regarding your grudge with the Old Southern Border King?"
Musashi's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly, "I simply don't wish to put on airs, could it be that you actually think I'm a clay figure with no temper?"
"I've said it, I've come to the Southern Border for the sole purpose of dueling its strong!"
"Since the Old Southern Border King has already passed away, then let his disciple duel with me to fulfill my lingering regret from those years!"
As he spoke, an aura unique to a battler of the king's realm explosively burst forth from within Miyamoto Musashi.
Enveloped by this battler's aura, the faces of the three Tianyuan elders turned unsightly.
Had they not also possessed the peak strength of a Great Grandmaster, they might have been crushed to the ground by Musashi's aura!
After a moment of silence, one of the three elders finally spoke solemnly, "Master Musashi, the Old Southern Border King never took a disciple in his life."
"Since the Old Southern Border King has no disciples, then let his offspring come forth to fight!"
Musashi frowned, then continued, "I believe that a person of the Old Southern Border King's extraordinary calibre would not have weak offspring!"
He stared intently at the Southern Border King and asked in a deep voice, "Whom is the Southern Border King referring to?"
"If such strong ones are present, why did they not come forward to accept the challenge earlier?"
The Southern Border King curled the corners of his mouth into a smile, then looked toward the three old men of the farmland.
Smiling, he said, "The three elders of our Southern Border army, as veterans, have already reached the transformative realm in terms of strength!"
"After the Old Southern Border King died, the three elders have been in hiding and practicing in seclusion, and now after so many years, their strength must have reached a terrifying level!"
"I believe, with their combined force, they should be more than sufficient to be a match for Great Grandmaster Musashi!"
Upon hearing the Southern Border King's words, the faces of the three elders turned unsightly, as if they had swallowed flies.
Their strength was certainly not weak, being just a step away from a half-step Battle King.
However, facing Musashi, a true Battle King, any action they took would only result in a severe beating or even death!
"The Southern Border King is overly kind, but we three cannot bear the title of the strongest in the Southern Border army..."
An elder immediately denied.
Musashi's eyebrows shot up, his eyes turning dark.
He scanned the people in the council hall coldly and said sharply, "You of the Dragon Nation have always claimed to be a martial arts powerhouse, but when I personally came to challenge, you all hesitate and obstruct, with not a single one daring to accept the challenge!"
"In my opinion, from now on, you should stop calling yourselves a martial arts powerhouse and instead call yourselves the sick man of the strong nations."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao's expression immediately darkened, and a murderous aura surged around him.
"Stay out of this, it's not your turn to step up!"
Ye Ling frowned and said sternly.
Hearing this, Chen Dao reluctantly repressed his strong aura and stared coldly at the arrogant Musashi.
He was well aware of Ye Ling's good intentions; with his peak Great Grandmaster strength, if he were to truly fight Musashi, death was certain!
"Enough, I will accept the challenge!"
One of the elders said gravely.
The three of them represented the dignity of the Southern Border army; if they did not dare to accept this challenge, it would tarnish the entire Southern Border army's reputation!
Hearing someone accept the challenge, Musashi revealed a satisfied smile and said to the Southern Border King, "Very good! I ask the Southern Border King to command the Southern Border army to gather and witness the battle!"
