Chapter 167: Are You Li Hunyuan? (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Many martial artists present were shocked when they saw this scene. They understood that Li Hunyuan was letting Ye Silang know that fighting him wouldn’t be easy.
Li Hunyuan stood on the arena with his hands behind his back, his expression emotionless. “Young Master Ye, please.”
Everyone turned to look outside the door.
On his horse, Ye Jingtang didn’t say anything when he saw this. He stepped on the stirrups with both feet and exerted a little force.
“Neigh!”
BoxNovel.comWhen he stepped off the sturdy horse, it suddenly felt the force, raised its head, and let out a long neigh.
Swoosh!
More than a hundred martial artists raised their heads in unison, only to see Ye Silang directly soaring into the sky from outside the door. His body was like an eagle striking the sky until he overlapped with the silver moon, and then he fell violently.
Boom!
The black-robed figure landed heavily on the towering roof ridge, causing the entire roof to tremble. A few black tiles fell and shattered the vases in the main hall.
Crack!
When the martial artists present saw this momentum, there was a bit of shock in their eyes. Of course, they were also a little confused.
The entire place was silent.
Li Hunyuan turned around in the arena and looked at the black-robed figure standing on the roof ridge of the main hall with his back facing the courtyard. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
He didn’t know if he should praise his martial arts skills or not. Ye Silang had almost injured his horse, and along the way, there were clanging sounds. If anyone else present brought out their movement technique, they wouldn’t be so rough.
But it wasn’t right to call his skills terrible either. He had flown from the door to the main hall and shook the ground after landing. The profoundness of his skills was a little ridiculous.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Hunyuan put on the posture of an elder and said calmly, “Young Master Ye, it is said that you have learned Yan Mountain’s Cutting Cloud Steps. From the looks of it, your lightness skills require more practice. Also, 1 invited you to the arena. Why did you go to the roof?”
The martial artists present were also very puzzled by this.
Ye Jingtang stood on the roof with one hand behind his back. His gaze was also a little strange. He felt that something was wrong with his body, as if he couldn’t control his strength properly.
But it was better to use more strength than having weak hands and legs. He had already gone on stage, so he still had to smooth things over.
Ye Jingtang turned around and looked up at the moon. “The scenery in your mansion is not bad. Sect Master Li, why don’t you come up and fight?”
Upon hearing this, the martial artists present came to a sudden realization.
A duel on the ‘night of the full moon, at the summit of the Forbidden City’ was indeed popular among the heroes of Jianghu, but not many people dared to play like this in actual combat.
Because the two sides of the roof were sloping, people could only exert force when standing firmly on the roof ridge. If someone landed on the sloping tiles, it would be very easy for the opponent to suppress them and knock them off the roof. It was equivalent to dueling on a single-plank bridge.
Ye Silang dared to put on such an attitude because he really didn’t care about Li Hunyuan’s reputation.
Li Hunyuan snorted lightly and tapped his toes. He flew up and silently landed on the roof ridge, standing 30 feet away from Ye Jingtang. “Young Master Ye, you didn’t bring a spear. Could it be that you want to compete with me unarmed?”
Ye Jingtang knew that Li Hunyuan wasn’t simple, so he didn’t underestimate his enemy. He raised his bamboo hat slightly and said, “I have long heard about the famous ‘Yuan Clasping Force’. It is said that when striking, one can’t exert strength. Today, 1 want to see if my Eight Extremities of Thunder really can’t exert strength.”
Due to the Red Flower Pavilion, Song Chi’s reputation was not small. The Eight Extremities of Thunder was also famous in Jianghu for being extremely fierce.
When the martial artists present heard this, they stood up. Clearly, they were interested in this evenly-matched duel.
When Li Hunyuan saw that Ye Jingtang was prepared to fight unarmed, his aura changed a little, and his eyes were arrogant. “In terms of unarmed martial arts, I am your senior in Jianghu. 1 won’t bully the young. If you can take ten moves today, I will consider you the winner.”
Ye Jingtang had just learned the Eight Extremities of Thunder and had only fought Cheng Shilu a few times in actual combat. He was really a little pressured against Li Hunyuan, who had been famous for many years.
He didn’t say anything else and focused all his attention. One of his feet slid forward and the other backward on the roof ridge, and so did his hands. He assumed a stance of the Eight Extremities of Thunder and hooked his fingers.
The silver moon hung in the sky, and the entire mansion fell silent. Only the breeze swept past a few fallen leaves on the roof, making a light rustling sound.
Li Hunyuan’s eyes turned profound. He raised his hands, slid his left foot away, and clasped his hands one over the other. His robe swayed with a unique rhythm.
But when a fallen leaf floated to his hand, it seemed to be attracted by his hands and moved closer to his palms. Then he casually swept it away.
Swish!
The sound of a hidden weapon tearing through the air came from the roof.
The fallen leaf was like a sharp arrow leaving a bow. Under the moonlight, it turned into an afterimage and instantly arrived between Ye Jingtang’s eyebrows.
Ye Jingtang’s reaction could be said to be astonishing. He raised his left hand slightly, grabbed the fallen leaf with two fingers, and shattered it into powder.
At the same time, the silent Li Hunyuan had already pressed forward. His eyes were as sharp as two knives as he stretched out his right hand and slapped Ye Jingtang’s forehead. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion sounded from the roof!
The martial artists present were paying attention to the movements of the two top experts. But they soon saw Ye Silang tremble violently. The robe on his shoulders and chest instantly tore apart, revealing his gleaming silver soft armor.
At the same time that his robe exploded, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the black tiles on both sides. Then they were overturned by a powerful air wave, directly exposing thick wooden beams. Under the immense force, cracks appeared on the beams.
A terrifying force swept through the surroundings, and a fist shot out at this moment.
Bam!
Amidst the outburst, Ye Jingtang’s sleeve exploded, revealing his muscular right arm.
Li Hunyuan, who was close to him, was shocked by the violent qi that was like a tsunami. His pupils constricted and even showed fear.
His outstretched hand instantly retracted to defend, but before he could block the blow, a tremendous force pressed against his chest.
Boom!
The explosion on the roof was like thunder.
Before the martial artists present could see clearly, Li Hunyuan had already transformed into an arrow shot by a crossbow. He drew a straight afterimage in the air and shot into the distance toward the eastern part of the mansion.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
Li Hunyuan’s body smashed against the roof with such force that he shattered the black tiles below and forcefully plowed out a groove on the roof.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
After he shattered the cornice, the impact force didn’t decrease at all. He smashed through the white wall on the east side, followed by a patch of green bamboo trees, and then crashed into a study.
Boom!
Li Hunyuan was like a city-destroying cannonball shot out from the roof. In an instant, his body made a straight line of holes in the buildings until he was nailed to the floor of a study in the eastern part of the mansion. Then there was no movement.
The entire place was dead silent!
Clatter, clatter…
Countless debris and broken bricks scattered. The beams were bent and swayed, and half of the roof began to collapse into the house.
Everyone watching the battle in the courtyard, even the onlookers outside, opened their mouths wide.
Pei Xiangjun was standing behind a wall at the edge of the mansion, watching Ye Jingtang maintain the posture of a ‘City Piercing Cannon’. Her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock. She felt that this punch could scare Uncle Song to death!
Ye Jingtang remained motionless on the roof, looking at the broken walls and ruins in front of him with shock in his eyes. Yesterday, he had punched Cheng Shilu ten meters away with all his strength. This time, he had also punched with his full strength, but he had realized that something was wrong halfway and slightly reduced his strength. This…
Was it the stimulant yesterday?
Distracting thoughts flashed across his mind.
Seeing that Li Hunyuan was no longer moving, Ye Jingtang came back to his senses and went to the study in the eastern part of the mansion to check on the victim.
The study was in a mess. Li Hunyuan was lying upside down on the floor. Only his legs were exposed and twitching slightly. Blood oozed out of his mouth and nose, and his eyes were still full of disbelief as he groaned hoarsely. “Ugh…”
Ye Jingtang sized him up from the side. Seeing that this punch on his shoulder wouldn’t kill him, he said, “It seems that I haven’t received ten moves. Sect Master Li, are you still going to fight?”
“Uh… No more fighting… Good… skills… I’m convinced…” Li Hunyuan twitched twice, seemingly wanting to raise his hand to send him off as a courtesy, but he couldn’t do it.
“Sect Master!”
“Master!”
The shocked Baoyuan School disciples finally recovered. Realizing that something was wrong, they hurriedly jumped over the walls and arrived at the study. When they saw Li Hunyuan’s tragic appearance, they were all stunned on the spot.
A few direct disciples wanted to go forward, but Ye Jingtang was standing in the room like a powerful dragon, and they didn’t dare to go forward at all.
Ye Jingtang felt that there was indeed something wrong with his body, so he didn’t want to stay long and prepared to leave.
But just as he walked out of the study, his ears twitched as he heard a sound outside.
“Coo,coo-”
Two more victims…
