Chapter 41 - 41 38 Battle Against Jun Wuyan

41: Chapter 38 Battle Against Jun Wuyan 41: Chapter 38 Battle Against Jun Wuyan Ye Xuan’s words spread through the platform, causing a brief silence around the hunting stage, followed by many doubtful gazes unanimously turning toward him. “Too impulsive.” Witnessing Ye Xuan’s actions, Xia Xun couldn’t help but shake her head secretly. She had thought that Ye Xuan had grown, but now it seemed he was still youthful at heart, easily provoked by Jun Wuyan, falling into the latter’s trap. “Brother Ye Xuan, you mustn’t be reckless.” Nangong Yao pulled on Ye Xuan’s sleeve. She could see through the opponent’s provocative tactics and implored him not to fall for it. “Ye Xuan.” Ye Ba and Meng Hao also looked at Ye Xuan with concern. With Jun Wuyan’s Fifth Grade Martial Master cultivation, if it really came to a decisive battle, Ye Xuan’s chances of winning were too slim. “You all don’t worry.” Facing those many skeptical looks, Ye Xuan shook his head. Naturally, he hadn’t fallen for Jun Wuyan’s low-level provocation, but as a man of honor, there were things one must do and must not do. If he was oppressed in front of everyone and merely endured, what use was his arduous cultivation? If he backed down here, he feared his reputation for cowardice would spread throughout the Great Xia Kingdom. Though he would no longer bear the name of a failure, he would become known worldwide as a coward! “Princess, may we begin now?” Jun Wuyan twisted his neck, then turned his gaze toward Xia Xun, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. “Since both parties agree, let’s settle it with a battle. Everyone else, leave the hunting platform.” Xia Xun nodded her head. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. She was only responsible for hosting this autumn hunt, and who ultimately won didn’t matter much to her. She was indeed curious to see the abilities of her “fiancé”, daring to challenge Jun Wuyan. Soon, the Princely Heirs who were still on the hunting platform also stepped back, leaving only one staff member to act as the referee for this decisive duel. On the hunting platform, only two opposing figures remained. Ye Xuan’s gaze fell on Jun Wuyan, who stood about thirty steps across from him. This competition was not only about his personal honor but also about the Ye family. If he lost, the Ye family might still achieve second place, but they would undoubtedly remain under the Jun family’s feet. He, hailed as the first genius of the Ye family, would be deemed less than the Jun family’s second young master, and the hope for the Ye family’s rise would become even more dim. Ye Xuan had accepted the duel because he was confident in securing a victory over Jun Wuyan in this contest. “Like a firefly dares to compete with the bright moon, this time, I will show you the gap between us.” Standing not far in front of Ye Xuan, Jun Wuyan spoke with a severe gaze. In the face of Jun Wuyan’s grim threat, Ye Xuan responded with a mocking smile, noncommittal. Who was the firefly, and who was the bright moon, was not yet certain. “The rule is straightforward: whoever is forced out of the hunting platform first loses. Begin!” Seeing that both contenders were in place, the referee raised his hand and then swiftly swung it down, shouting. As the referee shouted, Jun Wuyan’s expression turned even colder, his substantial True Qi flashing over his body, creating fluctuations that most of the Princely Heirs in the field could hardly match. “Indeed a Fifth Grade Martial Master…” Seeing Jun Wuyan’s display, exclamations of awe arose from around the hunting platform. Jun Wuyan, seemingly enjoying the admiration, showed a smug smile. However, his smile had not fully spread across his face before it slowly froze, for he saw that Ye Xuan’s body was also beginning to flicker with bursts of lightning True Qi. The intensity of the fluctuations was in no way inferior to his own! “How is this possible?” As True Qi surged through Ye Xuan’s body and his aura expanded, the entire hunting ground erupted into a buzz. Many were shocked to see that Ye Xuan, clearly only a Third Grade Martial Master, was matching Jun Wuyan, a Fifth Grade Martial Master, in terms of aura and True Qi. How had he managed that? Could it be that he truly tamed the Two-headed Demon Tiger with his own strength? “Ye Xuan… he has actually become this powerful.” Ye Ba, Ye Yan, and the others beside them had already widened their mouths, the light in their eyes faintly frenzied. Could it be that Ye Xuan was truly confident in winning a decisive battle against Jun Wuyan? “No wonder he dared to accept this challenge…” Xia Xun also stared at Ye Xuan in front of her, murmuring, “The once useless boy, has he really broken out of his cocoon and transformed into a genuine genius?” “It’s all just a facade. I want to see how you’re going to bridge the gap of two levels!” The uproar from the crowd rang into Jun Wuyan’s ears, causing him great displeasure. In response, he suddenly quickened his pace. A burst of purple True Qi explosively emerged from him, and he suddenly leaped into the air, his body soaring towards Ye Xuan like a large eagle. At the same time, a palm infused with purple light cleaved vertically toward Ye Xuan. Before his body arrived, the force had already met its mark, and the air emitted a sharp friction noise. A simple palm strike, but it contained the full power of a Fifth Grade Martial Master. In the blink of an eye, the palm light was about to fall right in front of Ye Xuan. Faced with such a fierce offensive, Ye Xuan widened his stance, swinging his fists. The aura around him curled with the motion of his hands, and faintly, it was as if a dragon roar resounded; even the dust on the ground was swept up, forming the shape of a huge dragon. Bang! Bang! The fierce and intense collision of fist and palm force occurred abruptly, True Qi fluctuations violently spreading out. The power of their strikes met with dizzying speed, the deep sounds continuous like incessant firecrackers. Under the watchful, tense gazes of many, the figures of the two continuously intersected. With each collision, the force was enough to shatter boulders, creating deafening noises. “Is Ye Xuan actually able to contend with Jun Wuyan?” Watching the two fiercely battling figures in the arena, many spectators could not help but exclaim again. Though they were two levels apart from Jun Wuyan, it seemed Ye Xuan’s level of True Qi and skill in Martial Arts, his attack techniques, were not at all inferior to Jun Wuyan. At this moment, Jun Wuyan suddenly kicked out his right leg. After being shaken back by a punch from Ye Xuan, he kicked mid-air repeatedly, executing eighteen kicks in succession. However intense the kicks were, Ye Xuan stood unshaken like Mount Tai, parrying each move without revealing any flaws. Boom! Another intense collision occurred, and both figures retreated, standing twenty steps apart. “You have some ability, but if this is the extent of your skill, there’s no need to continue. Next, you will lose,” Jun Wuyan said indifferently, looking at Ye Xuan as though he already held the winning hand. “If winning could be achieved by mouth alone, wouldn’t you have won long ago?” Ye Xuan retorted with a cold sneer. “Is that so?” Without wasting more words, Jun Wuyan’s expression suddenly intensified. His clothes began to billow as if filled with air, and as his body underwent changes, the corners of his mouth quickly curled into a cold smile. In the next moment, his entire body radiated a layer of purple light, glowing intensely. His hair, eyebrows, even his pupils turned purple, every part of his body bursting forth with powerful energy at that moment. Seeing this scene, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. The Cultivation Technique practiced by Jun Wuyan was clearly the Jun family’s Heavenly Grade Purple Blood Skill. To reach the extent of purple hair and pupils like Jun Wuyan, the Purple Blood Skill must have been deeply cultivated for a long time. “Purple Qi from the East!” With Purple Qi enhancing him, Jun Wuyan’s momentum greatly increased. He grabbed in the air, and a streak of Purple Qi materialized, attaching to his hand and rapidly changing shape, forming a claw blade over half a meter long, fiercely lunging towards Ye Xuan’s chest. Jun Wuyan’s suddenly tripled fierce offensive caught Ye Xuan slightly off guard at first. However, in an instant, he too steadied his mind, calm and collected. As the claw blade tore through the air aiming for his body, he immediately propelled his Surfing Step to its limit, his body swiftly moving backwards. On the stage, it seemed as though his afterimages appeared, his speed reaching an extreme. Sparks scattered in the air, but Jun Wuyan’s attack missed. Watching Ye Xuan quickly retreating, his eyes grew even colder. “Think you can escape?” As soon as his words fell, Jun Wuyan’s figure burst forward, his body streaking straight towards Ye Xuan, his speed not a bit slow. Getting close to Ye Xuan, he suddenly let out a loud shout, “Cloud Breaking Sky Shredding Hand, be defeated!” With both hands reaching out, he tore the air into shreds, and Jun Wuyan’s moves did not stop there. His hands continuously clawed out at high frequency, the sharp True Qi tearing the air into shreds, his dense offensive enveloping Ye Xuan like rainfall.
