Ding!
With a crisp sound, the black axe flew back to Yang Chen’s side.
However, after the collision, the white axe did not fall, and it continued to fly towards Yang Chen. The previous block seemed to have no effect at all.
“That’s going too far!”
Ye Cangtian’s somber voice came, and he had already blocked in front of Yang Chen, extending a large hand to directly grab the white battle axe.
He hadn’t intended to intervene, but the opponent’s aggressive demeanor made him unable to tolerate it any longer.
“Going too far?”
“If you had acted sooner, I wouldn’t have to trouble a little piece of trash. Don’t you think so?”
Yuwen Guangxu pointed at Yang Chen and shot a provocative glance at Ye Cangtian.
“There’s some truth to that.”
Ye Cangtian’s expression darkened. He was truly angered. Not only had the opponent attacked Yang Chen, but he had also insulted him. This was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
His gaze swept over Yuwen Guangxu, and he said coldly, “Speak, do you come alone, or do you both come at me?”
“To deal with you, we brothers don’t need to join forces.”
Saying this, Yuwen Guangxu walked alone towards the center of the courtyard. Although it was a bit darker there, it was very spacious.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian let out a soft snort and followed him.
Clang!
Seeing Ye Cangtian follow, Yuwen Guangxu was not polite. He directly took out his Fang Tian Hua Ji and stood in front of himself.
Looking at the Fang Tian Hua Ji emitting a faint golden light, Ye Cangtian’s brows furrowed.
From his perception alone, he knew that this Fang Tian Hua Ji was no ordinary item and its power was certainly not insignificant.
So, in the next moment, Ye Cangtian directly took out his Dragon Soul Blade.
“A good blade! I just don’t know how much power you can unleash with it in your hands!”
Feeling the faint dragon’s roar, Yuwen Guangxu sighed, then flashed forward.
“We’ll find out!”
Ye Cangtian replied coldly and met him head-on.
For a moment, faint golden light and black light intertwined, creating countless sparks, which made Yuwen Chengji and Yang Chen clench their fists.
Both in terms of speed and attack power, they were far beyond what the two of them could compare to. Even the clash of spiritual energy alone made them break out in a cold sweat.
The two on the field were also mutually surprised.
The weight and formidable attack power of the Dragon Soul Blade made it difficult for Yuwen Guangxu to resist, but Ye Cangtian did not gain much advantage.
The reason was that the Fang Tian Hua Ji had more attack methods, and coupled with Yuwen Guangxu’s tricky attacks, Ye Cangtian found it difficult to defend against.
After all, he only knew some basic blade techniques, and most of his fighting relied on experience and physical reactions. He had not cultivated any blade techniques, so he suffered a disadvantage in this aspect. However, despite this, relying on his exquisite control of spiritual energy, he held the advantage in terms of consumption.
Coupled with the ice attribute of the Dragon Soul Blade, it had a gradual effect on Yuwen Guangxu, making the situation increasingly favorable.
Yuwen Guangxu also felt his body becoming slower and slower.
In the next moment, he let out an angry roar, leaped high into the air, and spun his Fang Tian Hua Ji, then shot it out like an arrow.
Clearly, he wanted to win with one decisive blow.
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted coldly, injected all his spiritual energy into the blade, and the Dragon Soul Blade instantly let out a dragon’s roar.
Accompanying the dragon’s roar, the Dragon Soul Blade ferociously met the attack.
Boom!
The violent spiritual energy scattered, and the ground caved in, forming a circular pit one meter deep. Ye Cangtian stood steadily in the pit, his gaze glancing at the slowly getting up Yuwen Guangxu.
At this moment, Yuwen Guangxu was somewhat disheveled, his hair messy, and his clothes tattered. Due to the advantage of spiritual energy, Ye Cangtian had the upper hand.
“You lost,” Ye Cangtian said calmly.
“Hmph!”
Yuwen Guangxu gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
He truly hadn’t expected to lose, but reality was what it was, and he couldn’t deny it.
On the other side, seeing that Yuwen Guangxu had nothing to say, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, pointed at the ground, and said, “Alright, since you admit defeat, then stay and repair this place to its original state!”
“On what grounds! We don’t have any bet between us!”
Yuwen Guangxu immediately jumped up. He was a proud scion of the younger generation of the Yuwen family. If he were to do manual labor here, wouldn’t he be laughed to death if word got out?
“There is no bet!”
“However, if you hadn’t come, would this place have been destroyed to this extent? If you break something, don’t you have to pay for it?”
Ye Cangtian said exasperatedly.
With those words, Yuwen Guangxu was speechless. He pondered for a long time and said, “I’ll compensate you with spirit stones, is that acceptable?”
“No!”
“I want you to repair it personally, and also tell everyone that if they want to fight me, they’d better not come to my house!”
Ye Cangtian shook his head and continued, “Of course, if you don’t repair it, you can leave after defeating me. However, if that’s the case, I won’t hold back, and you’ll bear the consequences!”
You…
With those words, Yuwen Guangxu’s face instantly turned red. He had already used all his strength just now, and he still hadn’t won. If he continued, he would still be the one to fall.
Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian and said, “You’re ruthless! I’ll repair it…”
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian revealed a satisfied smile, then stopped paying attention. He took Yang Chen back to the pavilion.
As soon as he returned to the room, sweat dripped from Ye Cangtian’s forehead. Immediately, he sat cross-legged on the bed to recuperate.
This battle was not as easy as he had imagined.
Yuwen Guangxu’s final strike was too powerful. He had used all his spiritual energy to barely gain an advantage over the opponent, but this also resulted in significant depletion.
If the fight had continued, he would not have had much combat strength left. Fortunately, he had managed to subdue the opponent just in time.
Damn it, it seems I can’t underestimate inherited cultivation techniques in the future and must be cautious when engaging in direct combat.
…
Three days flew by.
Ye Cangtian spent his time in his room. Besides cultivating, he would occasionally look out the window at the courtyard.
Seeing Yuwen Guangxu and Yuwen Chengji repairing the courtyard, he did not disturb them, only asked Yang Chen to prepare some food and water.
Until the morning of the fourth day.
Yuwen Guangxu knocked on the door of the pavilion, and Ye Cangtian finally appeared to meet him.
“The courtyard has been repaired, come and inspect it.”
Yuwen Guangxu said through gritted teeth. After three days of menial labor, he was filled with suppressed anger, but knowing he was no match for the other party, he could only endure it.
“No need, you’ve done a good job.”
Ye Cangtian waved his hand and continued with a faint smile, “Why don’t you come in for breakfast?”
“No thanks!”
“Since you’re not going to inspect it, I’ll take my leave now!”
“Also, I will definitely get revenge for the humiliation of these three days. I’ll be waiting for you in Jinling City!”
With that, Yuwen Guangxu left with Yuwen Chengji.
He had two objectives for coming here. The first was to see Yuwen Chengji.
The second was that if Yuwen Chengji had a certain level of strength, he would take him to Jinling City, which was the base of the Yuwen family.
He knew that people like Ye Cangtian would definitely reach the Earth-level realm in the future, and would certainly head to the western region.
After all, people strive for higher positions and work hard for greater strength.
Therefore, Jinling City was also a necessary stop for Ye Cangtian.
“Alright, I hope you won’t disappoint me then.”
Ye Cangtian said with a chuckle. The previous battle was not won easily, and he considered the opponent a rival, so he readily agreed.
After Yuwen Guangxu and the other left, Ye Cangtian ate a meal and then headed to the Hidden Group.
When he arrived at Dongfang Mingyue’s office, he saw Dongfang Mingyue looking troubled and deep in thought in her chair.
“Sister Mingyue, what’s wrong?” Ye Cangtian asked.
“Alas! Don’t mention it, a little ancestor has come!”
Dongfang Mingyue said subconsciously, then noticed it was Ye Cangtian and gestured for him to sit down first.
“Little ancestor? What’s going on?”
“Is there anyone you can’t handle?”
Ye Cangtian said doubtfully. Dongfang Mingyue’s abilities were undeniable, and the fact that someone could trouble her immediately piqued Ye Cangtian’s curiosity.
“The only daughter of the Dugu family, Dugu Ling!”
Dongfang Mingyue said irritably.
Mentioning Dugu Ling gave her a headache.
She was the sole daughter of the current head of the Dugu family, possessed considerable talent, and was the only heir of the Dugu family at present.
However, Dugu Ling had dreamt of martial arts since childhood and disliked restraint. This time, she secretly ran away from the Dugu family, calling it adventuring in the martial world.
Now that Dugu Ling had slipped into Dragon City, she had presented a major problem for Dongfang Mingyue. What if something happened to her in Dragon City?
“Heh, isn’t this simple?”
“Since she ran away, why not just escort her back?”
After listening to Dongfang Mingyue, Ye Cangtian rolled his eyes. This was such a simple matter.
“It’s not that easy!”
Dongfang Mingyue glared at Ye Cangtian and began to explain.
