Chapter 104: Battle Against The Two Xuanming Elders

Yu Xian looked at The Two Xuanming Elders as if they were idiots.

Why did he know it was them? Because of their attire and weapons.

Deer Staff Guest wielded a short staff shaped like a deer’s head, and Crane Pen Elder used a pair of crane-beak pens. Furthermore, since the two old men were subordinates of Zhao Min, it was hard not to recognize them.

The Two Xuanming Elders saw Yu Xian looking at them with utter disregard and were instantly enraged.

Although they could tell Yu Xian’s Swordsmanship was not bad, they were both at the Great Grandmaster Realm themselves, and together they could achieve the combat power of a Late Stage Great Grandmaster.

Yet now, they were being looked down upon by a mere youngster! How could they tolerate that?

“Youngster, you are courting death!” Crane Pen Elder brandished the crane-beak pen in his hand and charged down from above toward Yu Xian.

At this time, Deer Staff Guest no longer had the mind to look for women; instead, he thought about taking down Yu Xian first, and then Yu Xian’s woman would be his!

Thus, he stood to the side to support his Junior Brother, thinking of seizing an opportunity to take down Yu Xian at any moment.

Regarding Crane Pen Elder’s attack, Yu Xian felt it was exactly what he wanted. He disliked pointless chatter; if a fight could solve it, why speak?

The chilling Qi emanating from Crane Pen Elder’s dual pens was already very close to him. Yu Xian’s Gentleman Sword unflinchingly thrust out to meet it.

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

The sound of weapons colliding.

The weapons of the two men crashed together.

Crane Pen Elder’s dual pens moved swiftly, and Yu Xian’s long sword danced. The two began a fierce battle.

Crane Pen Elder was indeed a master at the Great Grandmaster Realm. His Moves were fierce, his offense was strong, and he aimed directly for vital points—every strike was fatal. There wasn’t much flashy nonsense, and ordinary people would easily be injured by his chilling Moves.

This was Yu Xian’s first time fighting a Great Grandmaster, which indeed caused him to use a bit more strength, and his sword strikes carried more fierceness. However, he did not aim directly for Crane Pen Elder’s vital points, as he didn’t want to end it too quickly.

Using a Great Grandmaster for practice was beneficial for his improvement.

Moreover, Crane Pen Elder had not yet displayed his most powerful Martial Arts. Yu Xian was somewhat anticipating the Freezing Palm, the palm technique that caused Zhang Wuji so much suffering.

He also possessed a chilling attribute palm technique, so he was eager to witness it.

Thus, the two fought back and forth.

Outsiders found the fight extremely exciting, but insiders could see that Crane Pen Elder was being suppressed.

Deer Staff Guest was initially just observing the battle. But after seeing Crane Pen Elder fight Yu Xian for dozens of Moves without gaining the upper hand, and instead growing more strained, looking like he would soon be defeated, Deer Staff Guest stopped just watching.

As Yu Xian’s long sword was about to knock away Crane Pen Elder’s crane-beak pen, Deer Staff Guest rushed into the fray, using his deer-horn staff to block that strike for Crane Pen Elder.

Crane Pen Elder broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren’t for Deer Staff Guest, his right hand would definitely have been crippled by Yu Xian at that moment!

Yu Xian’s sword was so fast, so strange, and his Internal Energy was profound, his movement ethereal. His Realm was definitely above Great Grandmaster.

What kind of Prodigy was this? To have such high Martial Arts at such a young age!

The two no longer held any contempt for Yu Xian. Instead, they coordinated with full effort, dealing with Yu Xian with both offense and defense. They also took the opportunity to unleash their strongest combined palm technique: the Freezing Palm.

The Freezing Palm possessed an extremely chilling attribute. Its palm force was like an overwhelming tide, causing the recipient to feel bone-chilling cold throughout their body. When exchanging palms, if one’s Internal Energy was insufficient compared to the palm wielder, they would be eroded by the cold poison. If their Internal Energy surpassed the wielder’s, the cold poison would backfire onto themselves.

Yu Xian was very clear about his own Internal Energy; it was definitely higher than The Two Xuanming Elders’. Furthermore, he didn’t want to let the two simply suffer a backlash.

So, when The Two Xuanming Elders switched to using the Freezing Palm against him, he also switched to using the Freezing Palm.

Yu Xian’s Freezing Palm had reached the state of perfection. According to the Cultivation Technique Rank, the Freezing Palm was inferior to the Freezing Palm, but Yu Xian had a cheat!

His Internal Energy was higher than The Two Xuanming Elders’. Taking advantage of their cold poison backlash, he would add even more coldness upon their coldness—that would certainly be enough for them to choke on.

Therefore, Yu Xian squarely met the palms of The Two Xuanming Elders.

The Two Xuanming Elders were overjoyed when they saw Yu Xian actually dare to exchange palms with them. As long as Yu Xian was struck by their Freezing Palm, they weren’t afraid of him refusing to submit! Cold poison was not something anyone could withstand.

However, before they could even celebrate, they felt the powerful Internal Energy surging from Yu Xian’s palm. The two were instantly horrified and immediately understood: Yu Xian’s Internal Energy surpassed theirs! How could that be?

Internal Energy higher than theirs! Not good, it’s going to backfire!

The two realized something was wrong and wanted to immediately withdraw their palms, but it was too late. They clearly felt that not only was the cold poison they released backfiring, but another terrifying cold energy was surging toward them.

The hand touching Yu Xian’s palm was visibly covered in a layer of frost, which then rapidly froze. The ice was spreading to their entire arm.

Deer Staff Guest and Crane Pen Elder looked at each other in shock, then saw ruthlessness in each other’s eyes. The two made a decisive Move: the hand holding their weapon immediately swung to chop at their own ice-encased arm.

“Bang!” The sound of ice shattering.

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

Two screams rang out.

The two men awkwardly clutched their wrists; their palms had vanished, shattered on the ground.

“This…”

Both were in a panic and already had thoughts of retreating.

They admitted they had been careless just now, believing no one could withstand their combined Freezing Palm.

But who would have thought that Yu Xian not only surpassed them in Internal Energy but also in the cultivation of chilling Martial Arts! The ice was truly visible to the naked eye! This chilled their hearts.

However, if the two of them exerted their full combined power in their Martial Arts, Yu Xian might not necessarily be able to win.

Damn it! They were careless!

If they hadn’t decisively severed their own palms, once the ice covered their entire bodies, how could they still be alive?

This Yu Xian was too terrifying! He was not someone they could contend with!

“Attack together! Take him down!” Crane Pen Elder shouted loudly to the people on the rooftop.

If the two of them couldn’t win, they could only use a human wave tactic!

As soon as Crane Pen Elder’s voice fell, the people on the rooftop leaped into the courtyard holding their weapons and charged directly at Yu Xian.

Seeing that everyone had surrounded Yu Xian, The Two Xuanming Elders did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately turned to flee.

They all knew these men couldn’t kill Yu Xian. If they couldn’t stop him, their brotherhood might end here tonight!

They ordered the men to attack Yu Xian only to buy themselves time to escape.

As expected, just as the two vanished into the shadows, a series of tragic screams came from behind them. Hearing this sent a shiver down both their spines, and they dared not slow down in their steps, fleeing as fast as they possibly could.

A quarter of an hour later, Yu Xian flicked the bloodstain off his Gentleman Sword, looked in the direction where The Two Xuanming Elders had fled, and murmured, “They actually ran just like that! Next time we meet, running won’t be so easy!”

Yu Xian hadn’t expected those two to run away so cleanly and decisively.

Huang Rong looked at the corpses covering the ground, utterly astonished. She couldn’t help but recall Yu Xian’s title.

Nearly a hundred men; except for the two old men who escaped, all the others had met their end here.
