Chapter 427: Chapter 266: Who Dares to Claim Invincible? The Innate War Maniac, Young Hero Duan! (Seeking Subscriptions) - Part 2

"Ah? So do you mean... there was a mistake?"

"I’m screwed, it’s not my fault, every man who has seen Jade Guanyin has turned into a living dead, where would I get a chance to see her."

"No, it’s wrong. If such a mistake happnened, Ming Xing would let us go. Could it be she really has feelings for you?"

"Shut up, just because of this I owe someone a favor."

"What favor does Mingyu Palace need? I get it, a favor returned by the flesh."

"Alas, would the Palace Master of the Mingyu Palace like men? Or just simply want to assault and insult Young Hero?"

"I told you, shut up!"

...

Ming Yue, hanging in the sky.

In a spread of purple flowers, there lies a magnificent palace.

If previously the elder’s Lingyu Palace had an aura of countryside due to growing sweet potatoes, here, there’s none of that.

It was desolate without any trace of worldly life, just like a palace on the Cold Moon.

This is the Yuhua Palace, where the two Palace Masters reside.

Or rather, this is how people in the Martial World imagine Mingyu Palace to be.

Ming Xing returned deep into the palace, where flowers burnt like fire.

Great Palace Master Ming Yue stood amidst that blaze.

If Second Palace Master Ming Xing shone like the stars, then Great Palace Master Ming Yue was like the moon, lone and mysterious, yet with a cold, gentle radiance.

Ming Yue looked at Ming Xing with a puzzled expression and said, "Who could have fought you to this state? Has Yang Li truly made such progress over the years?"

The two Palace Masters of Mingyu Palace seldom inquire about worldly matters within Mingyu Palace, but that does not mean that they are blind and deaf to them.

In fact, they have been somewhat dissatisfied with the elder Yang Li’s conduct, as she has subtly influenced the atmosphere of Mingyu Palace.

Testing and then cultivating in Mingyu Palace could be a good thing for a sect, but not in the eyes of Ming Yue and Ming Xing.

What they dislike, is simply no good.

Just as Ming Xing had thought earlier, Yang Li’s testing method was about sending the test person to test the waters first, which represented lack of confidence, something they disdained.

The sisters had once planned to remove Yang Li, but due to her being a veteran from the era of the previous Palace Master, they hadn’t acted.

Now that Duan Yun had killed her, he did as he said he would, eliminating the dregs for the two Palace Masters.

This was also one of the reasons why Ming Xing did not fight to the death.

Hearing her sister’s words, Ming Xing shook her head and said, "It’s Old Demon Duan."

"Old Demon Duan? The one tied up with Ning Qing?" Ming Yue responded coldly.

There was a small crescent scar on her right cheek, which did not look like makeup, but more like a kind of scar.

The scar, instead of marring her beauty, added a mystical charm to her.

"You didn’t kill him," Ming Yue stated.

"I didn’t," Ming Xing shook her head.

"You can’t kill him," Ming Yue said.

"I could, but it’s hard without getting hurt. I cannot afford injuries at this time," Ming Xing declared.

Ming Yue shook her head, "I rarely see you this unconfident."

"He is not weak," Ming Xing said coldly.

"High praise indeed. No wonder you once said that you’d do him a favor, but why would he dare to come here this time?" Ming Yue puzzled.

"He’s mad, doesn’t recognize the emblem of Jade Guanyin, knocking on the wrong door," Ming Xing eyes reflected complexity.

Even Ming Yue, who seemed to have no trace of worldly matters, struggled to maintain her composure upon hearing this.

"Sister, these are trifles, let’s start," Ming Xing stared at her, a look of gravity on her face.

"You’ve been hurt," Ming Yue said.

"This kind of minor injury doesn’t count, let’s start."

"Alas."

Ming Yue sighed deeply and removed her clothes.

Her skin was as bright as the moon, smooth like jade, flawless.

But that was just her upper body; on her proportionate legs below, bright red flowers bloomed.

Those flowers, fiery, carried boding undertones, resting on her otherwise perfect legs.

Those flowers were physical, vividly carrying even hints of decay.

"Sister, the crimson decay is worsening," Ming Xing lamented.

"This is the price of perfection."

Speaking, Ming Yue furrowed her brows slightly, looking quite pained.

At this moment, the flowers known as the crimson corruption seemed to come alive, spreading and swaying on her body.

The two sat down together and began to circulate their True Qi.

And those delicate flowers on their legs, feeling the flow of True Qi, became more vibrant and frenzied.

Perhaps, this is why Ming Xing cannot be injured.

Perfection always has a price.

A huge price.

...

On the way back, Murong and Duan Yun felt as if they had just awoken from a dream.

Their meticulously planned, painstakingly thought-out rescue operation, which gambled everything, ended up at the wrong door.

Even now, Murong felt embarrassed.

One was beaten to a pulp, while the other suffered internal injuries and was almost broken apart, even nearly fighting to the death, yet it all turned out to be a mistake.

The moment they left Mingyu Palace, Duan Yun spat out a mouthful of blood.

His casual conversation with Ming Xing was actually suppressing his injury.

Once outside, the pressure released, and he couldn’t help but vomit blood.

He felt, vaguely, that he wasn’t as capable as Ming Xing. Continuing the fight would have resulted in mutual destruction, and most likely, he would suffer the most.

He had acted for heaven and bested many masters, including sect leaders, but none had ever given him such a strong sense of oppression.

Not even Zhao Ling, who had absorbed the Dragon Essence.

Duan Yun couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "Extraordinary Wisdom, what are you doing? You actually made me inferior, break it for me!"

However, due to his internal injury, he shouldn’t get too emotional, so he lay down like a salted fish.

Once his injury healed somewhat, he must tirelessly cultivate until he completely surpasses that woman.

This time, the Nameless Young Hero was spurred by a competitive spirit because of a woman.

A true man lives under the heavens, how can he be weaker than a woman?

But he also had to admit the high standards of Mingyu Palace.

If the sister was this difficult to handle, the older sister would naturally be even more formidable.

Duan Yun quietly pulled out a notebook and wrote, "Train hard for one hundred days, no, to be safe, two hundred days. Then, I’ll take on the sister first, then the older sister!"

Indeed, even if he wouldn’t actually fight to the death in the future, he still wanted to challenge them to a martial encounter, set up a stage, or decide the battle at Purple Gold Peak and surpass them.

Young heroes are born to defeat such strong and proud women!

Then, he thought of the favor he owed her, feeling a bit fearful, and secretly thought, "That Mad Woman won’t use this favor to stop me from challenging her, right?"

Otherwise, the Martial World rumors would say that he fought her to a draw.

And he knew it was slightly inferior.

If he couldn’t fight again, wouldn’t that mean he was always slightly inferior?

That Mad Woman shouldn’t be so unreasonable.

"Right, she wouldn’t do that. I’m just scaring myself," Duan Yun sighed.

Murong couldn’t hear his thoughts; if he could, he would certainly be greatly shocked again.

Everyone knew the horror of Mingyu Palace, and now they had witnessed the terrifying moves of the Second Palace Master, Ming Yu. Thinking back to that Shifting Flower and Wood technique, Murong was breaking out in a cold sweat, prepared for nightmares.

And after that one-on-one with Ming Xing, who knows how many exchanges they had, the surrounding fields were even blasted apart, Duan Yun faced enormous dangers and pressure.

From his vomiting blood afterward, it was clear that Old Demon Duan was seriously injured.

And it was an internal injury.

But what Duan Yun was now afraid of was not if the Second Palace Master, Ming Yue, lost her calm, leading to a relentless battle, but the inability to challenge Ming Yu’s Second Palace Master, Ming Xing again.

Because he didn’t know what "born battle maniac" meant.

Murong couldn’t help but ask, "What are your plans for the future?"

Duan Yun raised an eyebrow and said, "Plans? What else can there be? Head directly to Leizhou, to take down that Mad Woman, Jade Guanyin!"

"But your injury..."

"My injury will heal on the way. That Mad Woman made me so embarrassed; if I don’t kill her, what should I keep her for, wiping my ass?"

Young Hero is all about the fight!

And so, the Young Hero embarked on a new journey.
