Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 585 Then Force Me



The news of Mo Feng challenging the guest of the clan spread almost instantly. The Ancestor, the Patriarch, and all the elders of the clan had also heard the news and were deeply troubled. They all hoped that Ren would not be offended by the young man’s challenge. They were afraid that Ren’s mood would sour and if he wanted to vent his anger they could only try to appease him by offering their lives in exchange for Mo Feng’s. They will do that without hesitation as Mo Feng was the most talented descendant of the Mo Clan in the last millennium, he was their hope for the Mo Clan to rise higher.

When they arrived at the Southern Training hall they were relieved to see that Ren didn’t look pissed instead he looked to be quite excited. It was at that moment, they remembered the reason why Ren wanted to meet Mo Sheng. It was because he wanted to fight the strongest person in the city. Based on his words and actions, they had concluded that Ren was a battle maniac who adored battle so challenging him to a battle was the best way to please him. All of them suddenly had the same thought.

‘So to get on Ren’s good side we should risk it and ask him for a spar.’

While the higher-ups of the clan were thinking of ways how to get Ren’s favor, the younger generation of the clan who had no clue who Ren was, were confused and some were even mad. How could an unknown mortal man dare to challenge their ace and idol? They might not understand why a mortal man was such an esteemed guest of the clan, but, no matter what kind of background he had in the end he was still a mortal.

Even if the person was some sort of martial arts master of lower realms how can he compare to a cultivator? In the end, a mortal’s martial arts was vastly different from a cultivator’s.

As everyone was in one way or another excited to see the upcoming match, Mo Feng and Ren were now standing face to face in the Southern Training Hall. Mo Feng had his personal sword in his hand while Ren was weaponless.

“Were is your weapon Sir Ren? I do not wish to fight an unarmed man.” Hearing what Mo Feng said Ren shrugged his shoulders as he smiled that vicious smile of his.

“You really are a confident one aren’t you? Well, since you said it, I guess I should bring out a weapon. Hmm, so that it would be fair I’ll use a weapon with a similar grade as yours.”

Ren extended his hand forward and his shadow expanded which surprised everyone present. There wasn’t any fluctuation of Qi, it was like his shadow was alive and moving on its own. Though everyone was surprised by the sudden expansion of Ren’s shadow what happened next almost made their eyes pop out. A thin long sword of incredible beauty came out of Ren’s shadow.

Mo Sheng looked at Ren’s shadow with the most exaggerated expression among those present. Unlike everyone else, he had a deeper understanding of what Ren did.

‘His shadow is like a storage ring, which means he has a certain understanding of the laws of space. That’s one of the more difficult laws to grasp… Just how powerful is he really?’

“Now that we both have our weapons out, let’s get this party started!”

In his excitement, Ren’s aura burst outward for just a brief second, but that was enough to make some of the people watching faint. Ren quickly retracted his aura but the damage has already been done. The only person that was unperturbed by Ren’s aura was his opponent Mo Feng who took that moment as a go signal and attacked.

Mo Feng’s swift motion was flawless as his sword pierced through the air but Ren simply swayed his body to the right avoiding the strike by a few centimeters. Mo Feng didn’t relent and made his next move but the same as before Ren simply evaded the strike. After a few more moves, Mo Feng backed away for a bit. Every person who hasn’t seen Ren fight before was surprised by his movements. On the other hand, Mo Feng frowned as he asked.

“Why aren’t you fighting back?”

“Hm, oh that, I was trying to see what your speed and power were like. Now that I have a basic understanding of it I can finally match you for this fight to be fair. Get ready, this time I will also attack.”

After saying his piece Ren lunged at Mo Feng and he initiated the same fluid movement as Mo Feng. In fact, Ren was doing all the moves Mo Feng made just moments ago, it wasn’t just a perfect copy it was even better than the original. If that wasn’t bad enough, Ren’s speed and power were truly the same as what Mo Feng showed beforehand. There wasn’t the slightest difference but the technique was ten times better.

Seeing this the elders of the Mo Clan couldn’t help but sigh. Mo Feng has always been considered the future of the Mo Clan his talent was beyond anyone his age, Mo Feng himself believed that at the same level no one was his match, yet today he was proven wrong. It was obvious that Ren had suppressed his power to be at the same level as him, but Ren was able to not only keep up but surpass him in technique.

“Hmph, you’re better than I expected but why are you holding back? How about showing me all you’ve got!”

“Doing that wouldn’t really be fair and it would make me look like I was bullying you. If you really want to see me go all out, then you better force my hand.” Ren replied while blocking all of Mo Feng’s attacks.

“Heh, fine, allow me to show you what I can do!” Mo Feng’s movements suddenly became sharper and faster. The change surprised Ren for a bit and he was actually pushed back for a few seconds before he was able to adapt and once again get the upper hand.

As Ren was going to press on with his attack he felt something was wrong and stopped, the moment he did so there was a stinging pain in the palm of his right hand. When he looked at his right hand he was surprised to see that it had a cut and was bleeding a bit.

Seeing that he was hurt Ren was rather surprised, it wasn’t just him the Ancestor of the Mo Clan, and the others who had faced Ren were more surprised than the person himself. They all knew just how hard Ren’s body was, yet Mo Feng was able to cut him.

“Hoh, that was rather impressive.” Ren summoned a dagger and threw it at Mo Feng. Seeing the incoming dagger Mo Feng didn’t move a single finger but the moment the dagger got close it was cut down. Ren who had seen everything knew that Mo Feng didn’t truly move but the dagger was still cut down by something. “How interesting, this is the first time I’ve seen such a technique. Do you mind telling me how you did that?”

“That was my sword intent.” When Mo Feng answered, everyone present was once again stunned beyond belief. Even the Ancestor who had overestimated Mo Feng’s talent to the maximum was still surprised by what he said.
