Chapter 375: Chapter 376: Fighting Yuh Huatian
Upon hearing the exchange between Ye Wushuang and Feng Yang, the crowd was rendered utterly speechless!
For a flask of wine, he was to crush Yuh Huatian? And Ye Wushuang, without a moment’s hesitation, took a big swig. ’Is he really that confident he can crush Yuh Huatian?’
Yuh Huatian’s power was terrifying. He was a genius who could hold his own against the likes of Beize Yunzhuo and Liuu Tianlan. How could he be defeated so easily? For this fellow to declare he would crush Yuh Huatian was simply outrageous!
"Not bad. Strong liquor. I like it, too. I hope that fellow leaves some for me!" Below the Battle Platform, Jian Bufan’s gaze flickered as he watched Ye Wushuang, a carefree smile on his face.
Yunn Xiao turned to look at Jian Bufan, then his gaze shifted to the Flying Snow Sword in his arms.
He suddenly realized he found Jian Bufan just as inscrutable. The number one genius of Broken Sword Peak was truly one of a kind.
"Yuh Huatian, get up here!"
The casual words still echoed in Yuh Huatian’s ears, and his expression instantly darkened.
Ye Wushuang and Feng Yang had spoken openly, ignoring the crowd, ignoring *him*. For a mere flask of wine, Ye Wushuang was supposed to crush him.
Arrogant!
Yuh Huatian roared in his heart. ’Ye Wushuang, I will make you regret this!’
BOOM!
Like an enraged Ancient Fierce Bird, Yuh Huatian spread his Golden Wings and stormed onto the Battle Platform.
His rage burned fiercely. For Ye Wushuang’s contempt, he would make him pay a price in blood!
Seeing this, Ye Wushuang simply turned his head and smiled. The liquor burned like fire, but his expression remained unchanged.
Feng Yang smiled as well. That flask of wine wasn’t precious, but Ye Wushuang valued his friends, which was why he had agreed to the request.
However, Feng Yang knew this wasn’t what he truly wanted. He wanted to crush Yuh Huatian himself, but his own strength was insufficient. Not yet.
The humiliation of that arrow still burned in his heart.
’Yuh Huatian, the humiliation from that arrow is not over. Our battle has only just begun!’
Feng Yang’s gaze hardened, a hint of madness within it. He took the failure and humiliation from this experience and forged it into a gate to seal his own Dao Heart.
It was an extreme measure that few, if any, would dare to take.
After all, sealing one’s Dao Heart meant sealing one’s path and one’s heart. If he could not break through this self-imposed prison, this inner demon, Feng Yang’s journey of Cultivation would be severed completely, his progress halted forever.
But.
If he could step through that sealed gate, his Dao Heart would undergo a world-shaking transformation. His Cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, and he would become a true genius!
Therefore, the day he finally defeated Yuh Huatian would be the day the seal was broken.
Feng Yang’s eyes were fixed on Yuh Huatian.
"Ye Wushuang, your arrogance has thoroughly enraged me. In this battle, you will bleed on this very platform."
Yuh Huatian looked down upon Ye Wushuang with cold eyes. His golden longbow remained dazzling, its killing intent plain to see.
"Huatian, kill him! Don’t let him live!"
Below the Battle Platform, the Clan Leader of the Feather Race bellowed. His voice was incredibly loud. It was the first time the head of a Major Influence had so brazenly ordered their chosen genius to obliterate another.
Kill him, and don’t let him live!
Such was the resolute killing intent from the leader of the Feather Race!
The killing intent from the Cyan Race, the Di Family, and the Fiery Sun Sect also intensified. They would not rest until Ye Wushuang was dead.
Nangong Liuyun’s brow furrowed and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he was stopped by a signal from the Star Elder. The Star Elder knew the Feather Race Clan Leader was acting out of resentment for his prior humiliation and defeat.
"One Arrow, Unparalleled in the World!"
The moment he attacked, Yuh Huatian unleashed a powerful archery technique, shooting to kill Ye Wushuang.
WHOOSH!
But Ye Wushuang’s figure had already moved a step ahead.
He threw a punch. The Fist Seal transformed into the Shadow of a Tyrant Dragon, smashing through the air. With a Divine Dragon’s Tail Swing, it carried the momentum of a thousand-man army, annihilating the streams of light from the arrows.
Yuh Huatian’s expression changed. His figure flickered as he unleashed Arrow Extinction of the Eight Desolates. A heaven-piercing pillar of light shot out to destroy the Shadow of Tyrant Dragon.
Suppress!
Ye Wushuang soared upward, defying the heavens. Fueled by the strong liquor, his Battle Intent pierced the sky. He brought down an Immortal Dragon Mountain Seal, making the very void tremble.
BANG!
The terrifying pillar of light shuddered violently and ground to a halt.
Before the astonished eyes of the crowd, Ye Wushuang ran up the pillar of light, his movements like the Wandering Dragon Step, as he charged toward Yuh Huatian.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Ye Wushuang’s footwork was Profound and unpredictable. It seemed to possess a strange Magic Power, causing the hearts of the crowd to leap into their throats with every step.
"You keep using the same two moves. Don’t you have any new tricks?"
Ye Wushuang’s voice suddenly echoed right beside Yuh Huatian’s ear.
Yuh Huatian’s expression changed once more. He spread his Golden Wings and retreated in a flash of golden light.
At the same time,
Ye Wushuang stomped his foot.
The crowd’s hearts, which had been in their throats, suddenly plummeted, as if they had fallen from the clouds. The sudden jolt was almost too much for them to bear.
A variety of expressions appeared on their faces; they were utterly stunned by Ye Wushuang’s footwork.
BOOM!
With that one step, the void trembled. Ripples of destructive energy spread out, collapsing in on themselves. A terrifying force shot forth, causing Yuh Huatian’s body to freeze for an instant.
BOOM!
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Wushuang closed the distance in a single step and swept out his leg. Frozen for that split second, Yuh Huatian had no time to react and could only throw up a block.
With a THUD, his body was sent flying.
Ye Wushuang appeared where Yuh Huatian had been just a moment before. The wind whipped through his hair, his sharp brows were raised high, and his heroic aura seemed to pierce the heavens—untamed and utterly free.
"Damn you, you beast! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
Yuh Huatian steadied himself, his aura in turmoil. He nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Beast?" Ye Wushuang scoffed. "You’re the one with a pair of wings, not quite a man and not quite a bird. Who’s the real beast here?"
HAHAHA!
Hearing Ye Wushuang’s comeback, some members of the Major Influences couldn’t help but roar with laughter.
The faces of the Feather Race members instantly darkened, their killing intent boundless.
A murderous light, sharp and icy cold, shot from Yuh Huatian’s eyes.
"Eight Desolates Soul-Seeking Arrow!"
Yuh Huatian roared, taking out a small, gray-black arrow. Infused with his tyrannical True Essence, it began to grow in size.
A threat that seemed to target the very soul washed over everyone present. The smiles on their faces froze.
This arrow seemed capable of killing the soul itself, preventing it from entering Reincarnation and erasing it from existence forever.
"With this arrow, I’ll ensure your soul never enters Reincarnation!"
Yuh Huatian gave a cold cry as the arrow shot forth in an instant, piercing the air like a ghostly light. The arrow was tangible, but its destructive power was formless, aimed directly at Ye Wushuang’s soul.
Ye Wushuang continued to advance, leaping forward with the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon.
To the crowd’s astonishment, that Soul-Seeking Arrow seemed to have a life of its own!
As Ye Wushuang changed direction, the Soul-Seeking Arrow changed with him. It remained locked on its target, as if it would not rest until it had killed him.
’What a terrifying arrow. Why didn’t he use this against Wudao before?’
The crowd’s brows furrowed in thought.
The Soul-Seeking Arrow, once fired, seeks the soul. It possesses the power to hunt a soul down, and as long as the target’s soul is not extinguished, the arrow will never stop. It was Yuh Huatian’s ultimate trump card.
He had originally intended to save it as a final move against Wudao. However, he had been defeated by Wudao the moment he used Arrow Extinction of the Eight Desolates, leaving him no opportunity to use it.
’Still, using it to kill Ye Wushuang now is more than enough!’
Yuh Huatian gave a sinister smile and turned his gaze toward Ye Wushuang, only for his smile to freeze on his face.
He saw that Ye Wushuang’s expression was unchanged. With his mysterious and Profound footwork, he wasn’t dodging at all. Instead, he was charging straight toward him!
