Chapter 1980 - 1976: One Against Many
This is the advantage of foundation.
As an established force in the Ancient Martial World, the Ming Yan Hall has developed for nearly a thousand years, its foundation strong and formidable.
Within the sect, there are dozens of Heavenly Rank experts.
This is all accumulated over long periods, built up over time.
Whereas the Chen Family has been established for less than a year, and it’s unlikely they can cultivate too many Heavenly Rank experts on their own.
They have to recruit externally.
However.
Before this, the Chen Family had no reputation to speak of.
Its foundation is thin and resources scarce.
Even those loose cultivators who are Heavenly Rank experts are unwilling to join the Chen Family.
As a result, the number of Heavenly Rank experts in the Chen Family is pitifully low, unable to compete with the Ming Yan Hall.
This is where the advantage of a top-tier force lies.
It can be simply expressed in numbers.
If the Chen Family has one, then the Ming Yan Hall has ten or even twenty.
There’s no choice; this is accumulated over a lot of time.
No matter how fast the Chen Family develops, it can’t make up for this gap.
Regarding this point.
Chen Feng is naturally aware of this.
However.
If the Chen Family has only Liang Tian, Old Dao, and the Devouring Sky Python, these three Heavenly Rank Perfection experts.
Then today’s situation for the Chen Family would still be bleak.
After all, as Ming Lun mentioned before, even if the Chen Family has these three Heavenly Rank Perfection experts.
At most they could only counterbalance the three Heavenly Rank Perfection experts from the Ming Yan Hall.
But below the Heavenly Rank Perfection, the Ming Yan Hall has brought so many Heavenly Rank experts today.
Who else in the Chen Family could contend with them?
Therefore.
If it were that situation.
Today’s Chen Family would be in dire straits.
However.
Don’t forget.
Besides Old Dao, the Devouring Sky Python, and Liang Tian, these three Heavenly Rank Perfection experts.
There is also Chen Feng.
Although Chen Feng’s current surface strength is only at the Middle Heavenly Realm.
If he goes all out, he can rival a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert.
With Chen Feng guarding here.
Even if dozens of Heavenly Rank experts rush forward simultaneously.
Chen Feng can somewhat hold his ground.
At least he can maneuver around them.
After all, Chen Feng holds an absolute advantage in strength on his side.
Although the Ming Yan Hall has a numerical advantage, most are Middle Heavenly Realm or Heavenly Rank Late Stage.
In the face of Chen Feng, whose power rivals a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert, it’s not easy for them to take him down.
They can at most balance out Chen Feng but cannot overpower him.
This is the formidable nature of a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert.
So, after hearing Ming Lun’s words.
Chen Feng slightly curved his lips, playfully asking, "Who told you that aside from the Heavenly Rank Perfection experts, we in the Chen Family have no other experts to boast about, am I not one?"
"You? Haha, Chen Feng, it’s not that I look down on you, but with your mere Middle Heavenly Realm strength, what can you use to stop my army of dozens of Heavenly Rank experts? One spit from each of them would drown you, wouldn’t it? You really don’t know when to give up!"
Ming Lun glanced at Chen Feng dismissively, full of disdain.
Clearly, he did not take Chen Feng seriously.
After all, Chen Feng’s apparent strength is far too low.
Mere Middle Heavenly Realm, difficult to enter his regard.
"Is that so? If you’re unconvinced, we can try and see if I can resist your army of dozens of Heavenly Rank experts alone!"
Chen Feng slightly curled his lips, playfully saying.
"Haha, Chen Feng, you really are arrogant! Do you truly believe you are a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert? Even if you are Heavenly Rank Perfection, even if the strength gap between Heaven Rank cannot be offset by numbers, when the quantity reaches a certain level, the gap can be bridged!"
"On my side, there are dozens of Heavenly Rank experts, including Heavenly Rank Late Stage Peak and Heavenly Rank Late Stage. Even a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert would retreat when encountering them!"
"And you, a mere Middle Heavenly Rank, dare boast of resisting my army of dozens of Heavenly Rank experts alone. You really don’t know the meaning of death!"
Ming Lun coldly smiled, full of disdain.
"Then let’s try it!"
Chen Feng faintly smiled, his face devoid of much expression.
Though he knows.
Even possessing the Heavenly Rank Perfection level combat power, facing dozens of Heavenly Rank experts.
He presumably wouldn’t hold a significant advantage.
Nonetheless, he is confident in resisting the assault from these dozens of Heavenly Rank experts.
Once the battle is decided on Old Dao’s side, combined forces can swallow these dozens of Heavenly Rank experts in one bite.
At that time.
Even if the Ming Yan Hall is a venerable force in the Ancient Martial World.
Even if the Ming Yan Hall’s foundation is deep, it’s bound to be shaken.
Possibly, they could completely defeat the Ming Yan Hall.
"Alright, alright, alright, Chen Feng, since you’re so reckless, don’t blame me for being impolite!"
Ming Lun coldly smiled, then signaled to the several Heavenly Rank experts behind him, pointing at Chen Feng, coldly saying, "You all just heard, this Chen Family Patriarch has made bold claims, wanting to contend with you all single-handedly. You’re Heavenly Rank experts of my Ming Yan Hall; being looked down upon like this must surely bruise your pride!"
"Today I give you this chance, dozens of you gather to deal with Chen Feng simultaneously. My requirement is simple—kill Chen Feng by any means necessary, I just want to see Chen Feng’s head, understand?"
"Rest assured, Hall Master, just a mere Middle Heavenly Realm trash, daring to boast so brazenly, does he really think he’s a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert? Watch, we’ll utterly defeat him!"
"Indeed, Hall Master, please rest assured, we’re all Heavenly Rank experts from Ming Yan Hall, representing Ming Yan Hall. If so many of us can’t deal with a mere Middle Heavenly Realm, then we can’t show our faces in the Ancient Martial World anymore!"
"This kid really doesn’t take our Ming Yan Hall seriously, thinking he’s invincible after reaching Middle Heavenly Realm? Combined, even if each of us gives him a slap, we could crush him instantly!"
...
For a time.
Numerous Heavenly Rank experts spoke up.
Clearly, the tone and their expressions were full of disdain for Chen Feng, completely disregarding him.
Because Chen Feng’s apparent strength is too weak.
Joined together.
Even facing a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert, they wouldn’t be intimidated.
Let alone dealing with Chen Feng, who’s merely Middle Heavenly Realm.
