Helian Yun immediately lowered his aura, swept the wooden stick vertically to the ground, and used the momentum to rush towards Qin Yangjun.
The battle between the two was about to begin. The wooden weapons whistled as they were wielded in the air, and their qi clashed with their sword qi. The noble disciples below were not highly skilled, with the strongest being only at the Golden Core stage. So they naturally found the battle between the two very exciting.
However, after exchanging blows for more than a dozen rounds, Qin Yangjun noticed something was amiss. Although Helian Yun's attacks were all incredibly fierce, Qin Yangjun could clearly sense that he was holding back his strength.
After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, Helian Yun's fighting style underwent subtle changes. Every move was filled with killing intent, but there were flaws everywhere. He seemed to have become a reckless brute.
Qin Yangjun saw this and was filled with doubt. He couldn't understand why someone with such a military background and such cultivation level would be better than his peers in terms of combat skills.
Could he be deliberately letting the opponent win...? But why?
Qin Yangjun couldn't understand it, but since the phoenix essence blood had been delivered to his door, he naturally wouldn't let it go. Any problems could wait until he got the phoenix essence blood.
After exchanging blows for several dozen rounds, Qin Yangjun gained the upper hand over Helian Yun by half a step and pressed his wooden sword against Helian Yun's throat.
Upon seeing this, the noble children all let out a wail, they really didn't expect Helian Yun to lose.
Their cultivation levels weren't high, so they considered the battle quite exciting. Moreover, Helian Yun's defeat wasn't humiliating; he was only slightly outmatched.
They couldn't see anything wrong with their level of expertise, so they couldn't make a scene and could only obediently offer spirit stones to Helian Yao.
"I lost."
Helian Yun sighed softly.
"Concession."
Qin Yangjun sheathed his wooden sword, his tone very serious, mainly because he could really feel Helian Yun was telling him to stop.
Just as Qin Yangjun was about to ask a question, a sudden voice interrupted him.
"Hehe, this is really interesting. I never expected to see a monkey show in the capital!"
This sound startled everyone.
The group of people looked in the direction of the sound and saw three people.
First was a young man dressed in black and white armor, with two middle-aged men in armor and wearing ghost masks beside him.
These two middle-aged men possessed very profound auras, one being a Mahayana early-stage cultivator.
The other aura was even stronger than the former, and there was faint lightning surrounding him. This was a sign that he was about to undergo tribulation. Presumably, this person's cultivation was already at the peak of the Mahayana stage, and he was about to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Looking at these people, Helian Yun's expression darkened slightly, and Helian Yao's eyes revealed an undisguised disgust.
The noblemen's sons naturally recognized these people's clothing, and a hint of displeasure flashed across their faces.
"They're from the Asura Palace!"
"Tsk, the air around us feels so polluted."
"How did the rats from the Asura Palace get into the imperial city? What are these guards doing?"
"This is the imperial city of my Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom! You have no right to shout at me! If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"
"........"
Although the Shenhuang Yan Kingdom did not openly clash with the Shura Palace, the Shura Palace had secretly ravaged the businesses of these nobles and princes. The Shura Palace was known for its ruthlessness, and the idea of leaving a way out was simply nonexistent. Therefore, these noble sons naturally could not give the people of the Shura Palace a friendly look.
Qin Yangjun also looked at the young man in black and white armor and nodded slightly; he recognized this person.
Youhuan... what's he doing here?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, You Huan jumped onto the arena without any hesitation, and the two people beside him did not try to stop him.
"I heard the prize for this arena fight is phoenix blood essence. Is that true? I'm very interested in phoenix blood essence. Could I also participate in your duel?"
You Huan raised his eyelids to look at Qin Yangjun and Helian Yun.
Helian Yun's expression also darkened slightly.
"roll!"
Helian Yao, standing to the side, was also very unhappy, even though his relationship with his brother was currently strained.
But he still knew what it meant to unite against external forces.
He then looked at the two Asura Temple cultivators beside him.
"We have treated you as guests, but are you trying to cause trouble here?"
Chapter Ten: Disruption
The cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage smiled sinisterly, his gloomy voice coming from beneath the mask.
“Hehe, what the Third Prince says is true. Sha Yang, come down here. This is their imperial city. Even though they took the money and did nothing, we still have to give them face. After all, this is the Divine Emperor Yan Kingdom, the only cultivation kingdom in the entire Eastern Continent.”
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at that person, and a hint of resentment appeared in the eyes of those noble children.
A strange look flashed in Qin Yangjun's eyes.
Anyone could hear the sarcastic tone in this guy's voice.
However, given the tactic of "taking money and not doing anything," what could the Asura Palace possibly possibly need from the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom...?
Something unique to the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom but not found in the Asura Palace...
Tianji Pavilion...
Could it be that they're trying to figure out who killed Blood Asura? But if Blood Asura died, then these lowly minions wouldn't be coming to visit...
While Qin Yangjun was pondering, Sha Yang on the arena raised his wooden sword and aimed it at him.
"Your Highness, I have no intention of offending you, but I was deeply moved by the duel between the two of you. Since this person defeated Your Highness, he must be stronger than you. I am a person who enjoys competing with the strong. I wonder if this person... would you accept my challenge?"
Because Qin Yangjun was facing away from Sha Yang, he did not see Qin Yangjun's face.
But he didn't care who he was challenging. He was frustrated after leaving the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and desperately needed to vent. He had already observed that the person fighting Helian Yun was not from the Imperial Dynasty.
Then he can proceed with the plan with peace of mind.
If he could interfere with any deal between the two of them, that would be even better.
Didn't you lose to this kid? If I beat him to the ground again, where will you put your face then?
Thinking of this, Sha Yang's eyes blazed with even more ferocity.
At the same time, Helian Yun had lost his patience; the behavior of the person in front of him infuriated him.
"I'll say it again, get out! Or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Layers of spiritual energy rose from Helian Yun's body, clearly indicating his anger. However, at this moment, Qin Yangjun's lips curled into a smile, and he slightly raised his hand.
"Hey! Brother Yun, there's no need to be angry. It's just a challenge; I'll accept it. But this gentleman..."
Qin Yangjun turned around and looked at Sha Yang.
"My duel with Brother Yun is for a wager. I wonder what kind of stakes this brother is willing to bet?"
Sha Yang looked at Qin Yangjun, wondering why his face seemed somewhat familiar, but his disdain suppressed his thoughts. He simply pulled out a bottle and said in a deep voice:
"This is an eighth-grade elixir, the Nine-Aperture Spirit Pill, which has the effects of nourishing essence and qi, and clearing the meridians and activating blood circulation. After taking it, one's cultivation speed below the Great Ascension stage will increase tenfold within twelve hours. How about we use it as a prize between us?"
The leading Mahayana cultivator below the arena was slightly taken aback. This elixir was given to him by Shadow Asura to enhance his spiritual power in preparation for breaking through to Mahayana. He never expected that Sha Yang would use this elixir as a prize.
However, considering that Sha Yang was never one to suffer a loss, he chose to remain silent.
Then all that could be heard was Sha Yang saying:
"Since I'm using this precious Grade 8 elixir as a prize, what are you prepared to offer in return?"
"what do you want?"
"Phoenix essence blood!"
Upon hearing these four words, the noble children erupted in uproar, and even Helian Yao, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't hold back any longer.
"Are you out of your mind? You think you can exchange a single Rank 8 pill for Phoenix Essence Blood...?"
However, before Helian Yao could finish speaking, Qin Yangjun nodded and said:
"can."
He didn't think that Sha Yang could offer anything that would tempt him, but since the other party was willing to come to his door to get beaten up, how could he let it go?
Qin Yangjun's nod left Helian Yao somewhat bewildered, and the noble youths fell silent as well.
They even suspected that the fight earlier had damaged Qin Yangjun's brain, since he could agree to such a deal with a bargaining chip of such vastly different value.
But when Helian Yao saw Qin Yangjun's confident smile, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Yes, why didn't I realize that at this moment, I shouldn't be thinking about value, but about winning or losing?
Back on Prison Island, Qin Yangjun was able to stand up to a great demon undergoing tribulation. Although the demon was seriously injured, the fact that a Nascent Soul cultivator could aggravate his wounds was enough to demonstrate his extraordinary strength.
Not to mention that Qin Yangjun has now broken through to the mid-stage of the Void Realm, making him several times stronger than before.
Even You Huan, who was at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, died at the hands of Qin Yangjun. How could Sha Yang possibly fight against him?
On the stage, Helian Yun seemed to be thinking about his experience in the Deep Sea Dragon Tomb, and then considering the current relationship between the Yuqian Sect and the Shura Hall, he immediately guessed Qin Yangjun's purpose.
This kid's in for a rough time.
Helian Yun couldn't help but cast a pitying glance at You Huan. Then, without saying anything more, he jumped off the stage and gave it to the two of them.
Sha Yang naturally didn't notice Helian Yun's gaze.
Hearing Qin Yangjun agree so readily, Sha Yang thought the person in front of him had lost his mind, agreeing to such a condition.
However, this suited him perfectly. He hadn't expected that although he couldn't find out who took the World Origin Pearl, if he could offer up the Phoenix Essence Blood, it would atone for their sins.
Just as Sha Yang was thinking this, Qin Yangjun tossed the wooden sword back onto the weapon rack with one hand. Seeing this, Sha Yang's smile deepened.
"What do you mean by this, sir? Are you preparing to admit defeat?"
Qin Yangjun smiled slightly, standing with one hand behind his back.
"I don't need weapons to deal with you, please!"
The smile on Sha Yang's face froze at that moment, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.
"How arrogant! Since you don't use weapons, then I won't either!"
After saying that, he suddenly exerted force with one hand and shattered the wooden sword.
This scene caused the noble children in the audience to gasp in shock. The material of this wooden sword was exceptionally special, capable of withstanding spiritual power up to the mid-stage of the Void Realm.
