Chapter 304: Chapter 270 【Arrogant Wretch】

"Kid, you clearly don’t know the power of the Taiyin Xuan Sword. Well, it’s understandable; as Ye Wenhao’s illegitimate child, you might be a big fish in the secular world, but in the Martial Arts World, you’re just a country bumpkin. It’s forgivable that you don’t know about the Taiyin Xuan Sword."

After a brief look of astonishment, Murong Sheng regained his arrogant demeanor as if he were an Emperor looking down on a beggar—he did not believe that Ye Fan had a High-level Magical Artifact capable of rivaling the Taiyin Xuan Sword!

After all, Magical Artifacts are the most precious things in the real world, even more rare than peerless martial arts and techniques!

Not to mention High-level Magical Artifacts; they are simply priceless treasures!

Moreover, even if Ye Fan did have a High-level Magical Artifact, he would not be afraid!

Because, as far as he knew, the only High-level Magical Artifact that could restrain the Taiyin Xuan Sword was the ’Xuan Sha Yin Demon Sword’!

He had heard the Wudang Sect Leader, Heavenly Master Zhang, say that the Xuan Sha Yin Demon Sword had once fallen into the hands of the Evil Emperor Chu Xuanji and, like Chu Xuanji, had vanished from the Martial Arts World, never to be seen again.

It was impossible for the Xuan Sha Yin Demon Sword to end up in Ye Fan’s hands!

Ignoring Murong Sheng’s shouting, Ye Fan’s gaze shifted to Murong Gu, who had just gotten out of the car.

Like Murong Sheng, Murong Gu was dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe, wearing a Taoist crown, resembling a Taoist priest.

In the morning light, there wasn’t a trace of Martial Artist aura on Murong Gu’s body, and at first glance, he might seem like an ordinary person.

But—

His mere presence made Ye Fan feel an overwhelming sense of authority that he couldn’t resist!

When Murong Gu’s gaze swept toward Ye Fan, Ye Fan felt as if his eyes were enchanted with some form of magic, firmly capturing his gaze, and then he felt as though he was lost in an endless darkness, unable to break free!

"Not good!"

Realizing that his Consciousness was somewhat compromised, Ye Fan was alarmed and at that moment, with a thought, his Mind Power erupted like a volcano, stabilizing his Consciousness.

Hmm?

Seeing how easily Ye Fan had neutralized the pressure he exerted, a hint of surprise flashed in Murong Gu’s eyes.

It seemed he had not expected Ye Fan’s Mind Power to be so strong!

"Sheng’er, as I said before, do not take today’s fight lightly. You must give it your all!"

After the surprise, Murong Gu reminded him, "The Taiyin Xuan Sword may protect you from the Evil Yin Qi, but it cannot block the opponent’s Mind Power Attack. You must always guard your Consciousness with your Power."

"I understand, Father."

Murong Sheng felt a bit uncomfortable being reminded before the battle by Murong Gu, but he nodded immediately.

Ye Fan’s expression became a bit solemn.

Because he couldn’t sense Murong Gu’s presence, he couldn’t judge who was stronger between Murong Gu and Chu Ji, but the fact that Murong Gu could instantly recognize his reliance against Murong Sheng was frightening indeed!

Whoosh—

Just as Ye Fan appeared solemn in front of Murong Gu, the car door of the Jeep Grand Cherokee behind him opened, and Kang Lin, along with two members of the Yanhuang Organization, stepped out of the car and quickly approached.

"We are members of the Yanhuang Organization East Sea Branch."

Soon, Kang Lin, with his subordinates, positioned themselves between Murong Gu, Murong Sheng, and Ye Fan, announcing their identities and intentions, "We have received information that Wudang disciple Murong Sheng will fight a life and death duel with Mr. Ye Fan, the chairman of Ao Xiang Group, and we have specifically come to oversee it."

"Heh, I guess it was that Ye guy who told you, wasn’t it?"

Murong Sheng sneered, "Since you are here to supervise, just keep your mouth shut and watch from the side. Why all the useless talk?"

"According to the regulations of the Yanhuang Organization, Martial Artists must sign a life and death contract to engage in a duel. Please present the contract."

Despite guessing that Murong Sheng might not revere the Yanhuang Organization, Kang Lin did not expect Murong Sheng to be so brash. His face became very ugly, but he did not erupt in anger and instead fulfilled his duty.

"Senior Brother Zhang, show them the contract," Murong Sheng scoffed.

Zhang Qian, upon hearing this, silently took out the life and death contract signed by Ye Fan and Murong Sheng and handed it to Kang Lin, saying, "This is the contract signed by my junior brother and that Ye person."

"Swish!"

Without a response, Kang Lin took it expressionlessly and immediately saw the signatures of Ye Fan and Murong Sheng.

"After you’re done looking, go find somewhere cool to stay and don’t interfere with our fight," Murong Sheng said impatiently after Kang Lin diverted his gaze from the contract.

"Ss~"

Hearing Murong Sheng’s arrogant words again, Kang Lin and his subordinates all twitched at the corners of their mouths in irritation.

As members of the Yanhuang Organization, they were regarded as living embodiments of King Yan himself by ordinary Martial Artists, who would usually give them a wide berth. Who else would be as insolent as Murong Sheng?

Yet—

As annoyed as they were, the three of them knew that the phrase ’my father is Li Gang’ was universally effective in any domain.

Moreover, leaving aside the identity of Murong Gu’s son, Murong Sheng himself was a leading figure among the young disciples of Wudang and a seed player for next year’s Qing bang tournament, indeed having the capital to be arrogant!

"According to Director Zhao’s instructions, he will personally oversee this duel."

After a moment of contemplation, Kang Lin spoke again, "He is currently on his way to Ao Xiang Villa and will arrive shortly. You should wait for Director Zhao to arrive before you fight."

"Supervision? I think you’re worried I’ll cleave this kid with one sword and you want to take his side, right?" Murong Sheng said a bit angrily.

"Uh..."

Kang Lin’s face changed. He had only received instructions from Zhao Meng and had no idea why Zhao Meng wanted to do so.

"It seems you’ve accepted it,"

Upon seeing this, Murong Sheng confirmed his suspicion and said with a face full of anger, "Which rule of the Yanhuang Organization dictates that for a life-and-death battle between martial artists, we must wait for the local Yanhuang Organization head to personally oversee it?"

"—"

Kang Lin was like someone who had their tail caught, speechless.

"It’s there in black and white. If you are just here to check the life-and-death battle agreement, then you’ve already done that, now just stand aside and supervise,"

At this time, the always silent Murong Gu spoke up, his tone leaving no room for doubt, "If you are trying to protect Ye Wenhao’s illegitimate child, then I need to remind you that it would be more appropriate for Yan himself to come, you are not qualified!"

Hearing Murong Gu’s words, Kang Lin and the others were somewhat annoyed, but more than that, they felt aggrieved—although Murong Gu’s words were arrogant, as a half-step Gang Qi realm master, he indeed had the power to ignore their presence!

"Get lost."

Seeing that Kang Lin and the others were still blocking the way, Murong Gu’s gaze sharpened like a knife as he suddenly raised his voice.

Clang!

The three of them felt as if a spring thunder had exploded right by their ears, startling them so much that their consciousness jumped wildly, and they subconsciously took three steps back.

"Kid, since you’re so afraid of death that you let the Yanhuang Organization break the rules to protect you, why bother putting on airs and signing a life-and-death contract?"

Seeing this, Murong Sheng took a step forward, looking at Ye Fan with mockery, "It’s too late for regrets now! Of course, if you choose to be a coward and admit defeat, that’s within the rules too."

"Who’s backing out? You’re the coward, your whole family are cowards!"

Su Jindi had already taken a dislike to Murong Sheng, and seeing him insult Ye Fan as a coward, she clenched her fists in anger and retorted furiously.

"Are you looking for death?"

As a leading figure among the young disciples of Wudang, and with his father being the Great Elder, Murong Sheng practically did as he pleased within the Wudang Sect. Hearing Su Jindi’s angry curse, his face changed, he glared at Su Jindi and roared.

Clang!

With that shout, filled with a spiritual attack from his fury, Su Jindi’s heart trembled, her face turned pale, and the hair on her body stood on end.

"Murong Sheng, what are you doing?"

Sensing something wrong with Su Jindi, Su Liuli clenched her fists and roared at Murong Sheng, full of anger.

"Liuli, rest assured, I keep my word. For your sake, I will spare that Ye guy’s life," Murong Sheng’s face cleared of its anger when he saw Su Liuli, replaced by a smile he thought was charming.

However—

That smile, in Su Liuli’s eyes, was less appealing than a pile of cow dung. Her face turned ashen as she glared at Murong Sheng and said word by word, "Murong Sheng, I have nothing to do with you, could you please stop harboring feelings for me? It’s making me sick!"

Whoosh!

Su Liuli’s words struck Murong Sheng like a blow to the head, immediately making his expression very ugly.

"Also, you keep calling Ye Fan a coward, but you brought your own father to make an impression. It seems to me you’re the real coward, right?"

Su Liuli sneered, "Because you know you’re no match for Ye Fan!"

"You... what did you say?"

Hearing Su Liuli’s words again, Murong Sheng felt as if he had been slapped in the face by her, he trembled with anger and bellowed, his face reddening.

"Girl, you’re thinking too much. I came here today only to watch the battle, I absolutely won’t interfere with the competition," Murong Gu interjected, perhaps seeing that his son had been struck hard.

"You say you won’t interfere, who would believe that?" Su Liuli scoffed.

"My father, as the Great Elder of the Wudang Sect, has a noble Status. How could he stoop to interfere in a competition?" Murong Sheng said, unable to contain his rage.

"Are you sure?"

Ye Fan had been silent up until now, partly because he felt that arguing was pointless, and partly because he was worried that Murong Gu would intervene in the competition. But after hearing Murong Gu and Murong Sheng’s words, the seriousness on his face gradually dissipated.

"Heh, you aren’t even qualified to carry my father’s shoes, let alone ask him to make a move!"

Murong Sheng looked at Ye Fan with a cold sneer, his murderous intent slowly rising, "Su Liuli, I thought you were a woman different from the rest, but I didn’t expect you to fall for such a lowlife, it is truly an eyesore!"

As his words ended, Murong Sheng let out an angry laugh that turned into a wild cackle, laughing eerily, his facial muscles twisted, "Since that’s the case, I’ll send him to Yama Palace, and let you two dogs, one in the mortal world and one in the underworld, hahaha..."

"You..."

Upon hearing this, Su Liuli trembled with anger, instinctively ready to retort.

However—

Before Su Liuli could get her words out, Murong Sheng interrupted with a sneer, "Didn’t you say I’m no match for him? Let’s make a bet then. If I win this life-and-death battle, you will be my servant for life and cater to my every whim!"

"Have you got a screw loose? What does our competition have to do with Liuli?" Ye Fan narrowed his eyes at Murong Sheng, his tone as cold as ice.

"Fine, if he loses, I will be your servant for life and cater to your every whim!"

As Ye Fan’s words fell, Su Liuli suddenly stepped forward.

In the morning light,

She was resolute!
