Chapter 312: Chapter 309 Young Master Hu

"Young Master Hu, if you have any grievances against Ye Xuan, you can discuss them after returning to Sky Demon Mountain; there’s no need to cause trouble here."

The Honglian Envoy had already anticipated that Young Master Hu wouldn’t let things go easily, but he hadn’t expected the other party to act so quickly, not giving them a moment’s breath.

"Hmph, that kid openly snatched what belonged to me at the auction. How I choose to deal with him is naturally for me to decide."

Young Master Hu gazed at Ye Xuan with a look of contempt, as if in his eyes, Ye Xuan was already a trapped turtle, completely at his mercy.

"Snatched your things? The treasure goes to the highest bidder, how did it become yours?" Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, but a cold laugh echoed inside him—it seemed this fellow before him was used to being overbearing and arrogant, considering no one else in this Sky Demon City.

"Enough with the nonsense. I’ll give you a chance: kneel down now, hand over those two batches of Dragon Scale Fruit, and kowtow three times. I might consider sparing your life," said Young Master Hu, still speaking with an air of superiority.

Hearing Young Master Hu’s words, Young Master Blood Python’s face changed. He cursed silently to himself as a fool, but his expression remained unchanged as he softly reminded, "Young Master Hu, so if he hands over the Dragon Scale Fruit, you’ll let him go? Don’t forget he’s also offended Miss Yu Yi. Even if it’s just to take a stand for Miss Yu Yi, we can’t let this go so easily."

Ever since the Poison Scorpion Envoy suggested to him that Ye Xuan might possess the powerful bloodline of the Python Clan, he had coveted the blood in Ye Xuan’s veins. He had just been waiting for an opportunity to act. Now was the perfect chance for Young Master Hu to make a move against Ye Xuan—it would be best if Ye Xuan were injured, or even killed. That way, he could find an opportunity to extract the bloodline from Ye Xuan without much effort, possibly with only minimal exertion.

"Indeed, you have reminded me well, Blood Python. Kid, you should never have offended Miss Yu Yi. Even if I wanted to spare you, Miss Yu Yi wouldn’t agree. How about this, ten moves—if you can withstand ten of my moves, I won’t hold you accountable anymore," said Young Master Hu with a cold laugh, glancing back at Yu Yi.

"I’ve offended Miss Yu Yi?"

Ye Xuan was taken aback, "When did I offend her? According to her wishes, I’ve already moved out of Skyfire Hall. When did I offend her again?"

"You don’t know where you’ve gone wrong?"

Young Master Hu looked at Ye Xuan with a mocking expression, "Then let me tell you, you went wrong by moving into Skyfire Hall, and you shouldn’t have been so clingy to Miss Yu Yi. Now, whatever you say is useless."

"Is that so?"

Ye Xuan furrowed his brows; although he had lived in Skyfire Hall, being clingy was utterly not the case.

"Whether you’ve offended me or not is now irrelevant. Hand over this female slave to me, and I might persuade Young Master Hu to let you off the hook." Hearing Young Master Hu’s explanation, Yu Yi was furious and wanted to beat this guy up. Whether Ye Xuan had been clingy to her, she knew all too well.

Her anger was because Ye Xuan had moved out of Skyfire Hall over an issue she viewed as trivial. That was the main reason for her anger!

But with her proud nature, she could not possibly disclose this reason in front of so many people. If word got out that she wanted to keep Ye Xuan in Skyfire Hall, what would people think of her?

What angered her even more was that after Ye Xuan moved out, he spent a large sum to buy this female slave. Everyone knew what female slaves were for, no need to even think about it.

At this, Young Master Hu’s face looked somewhat unsightly. Did this mean that as long as this kid handed over the female slave, he really couldn’t do anything to Ye Xuan? What about his Dragon Scale Fruit?

Seeing Yu Yi pointing at her somewhat ferociously, Little Xi also appeared somewhat intimidated and clung to Ye Xuan’s sleeve.

"What do you want her for?"

Ye Xuan’s frown deepened. Why was Yu Yi so insistent on Little Xi?

"Skyfire Hall is too large; I can’t manage it alone and need someone to do menial tasks," Yu Yi fabricated an excuse. She just wanted to snatch Little Xi away from Ye Xuan.

"Menial tasks are too good for such a lowly slave. Miss Yu Yi, I am willing to serve you, to work like an ox or horse without complaint." Just as the words left Yu Yi’s mouth, a young talent from Sky Demon Mountain’s eyes lit up, volunteering eagerly.

Hearing this, both Young Master Hu and Young Master Blood Python’s expressions darkened, their gazes firmly fixed on the young talent. This person had jumped ahead of them in voicing what they had wanted to say. He deserved death, and after returning, they would make sure he disappeared from their sight.

"Scram."

Yu Yi’s response slightly eased the tension for Young Master Hu and Young Master Blood Python. If she had agreed, they would have been furious.

"Why do you insist on Little Xi when any female slave will do for menial tasks?" Ye Xuan was still puzzled.

"Why the endless questions? I trust your judgment, you just need to hand her over to me," Yu Yi said impatiently.

Ye Xuan’s gaze fell on Little Xi, "Do you wish to go with her?"

"I do not. I want to stay with the young master."

Little Xi decisively expressed her refusal. She had resolved to follow Ye Xuan indefinitely, so how could she just leave now, especially for someone like Yu Yi who seemed troublesome?

Ye Xuan nodded and then turned to Yu Yi, speaking indifferently, "You see, Little Xi doesn’t want to go with you. I apologize."

"She’s just a female slave. If you asked her to die, would she dare defy you? This is just an excuse, isn’t it?" A cold glint flashed in Yu Yi’s beautiful eyes. Of course, she couldn’t comprehend that Ye Xuan had burned the contract, meaning strictly speaking, Little Xi was no longer a slave.

"Believe it or not, that’s up to you. Please step aside."

Ye Xuan found Yu Yi rather unreasonable. There were so many slaves in Sky Demon City, yet she insisted on snatching one from him. If it weren’t intentional trouble-seeking, even he found it hard to believe.

"Kid, if you don’t drink a toast, you will have to suffer the penalty drink," Young Master Hu said with a sigh of relief as he saw Ye Xuan had no intention of handing the person over. He had actually been afraid that Ye Xuan would hand the person over to Yu Yi. If that happened, it would have complicated his intention to deal with Ye Xuan, especially in front of Yu Yi.

However, now that Ye Xuan had refused Yu Yi, it was all the more convenient for him to make his move.

Yu Yi also stared at Ye Xuan with some cold indifference, not expecting him to be so persistent over a female slave. The more he refused her, the angrier she became. Since Ye Xuan was so stubborn, it was time for him to suffer a bit.

"Young Master Hu, be ruthless," the sneaky smile on the corner of Young Master Blood Python’s mouth revealed his true intentions. He was well aware of Young Master Hu’s strength, which was not much less than his own. Defeating Ye Xuan shouldn’t be difficult, but the outcome he wanted was not just to defeat but to injure or even better, kill.

"Understood."

Young Master Hu cracked his knuckles with a crisp sound and smirked, looking sharply at Ye Xuan as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Ten moves?"

Ye Xuan just slightly raised his eyebrows and looked indifferently at Young Master Hu.

On hearing this, Young Master Hu was taken aback, then smiled and nodded, "Right, as long as you can withstand my ten moves, I will cease troubling you."

While saying this, Young Master Hu inwardly sneered. What difference did it make between ten moves and a hundred? In a master’s duel, ten moves were more than enough.

"Make your move."

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm as he signaled Honglian Envoy and Little Xi to step back.

"Then I won’t hold back."

A fierce light suddenly flashed in Young Master Hu’s eyes, and then he leapt up, throwing a punch at Ye Xuan’s abdomen.

Hiss hiss!

The light flickered where the punch passed, and formidable Qi Force surged wildly, like a huge tide rolling towards Ye Xuan.

Whoosh whoosh...

Ye Xuan’s robe rustled in the punching wind, and in that instant, as the fierce punch bore down, his body seemed like a leaf blown by the wind, drifting backward.

Clang!

Drawing the Spiritual Edge Sword, Ye Xuan slashed vertically, splitting the Qi Force in two.

"You’ve got some skills; no wonder you could defeat that useless Zhou Ying."

Young Master Hu didn’t take it seriously, and his second punch followed swiftly. His fist was like the head of a massive Demon Beast tiger, and with each punch, an astonishing tiger’s roar echoed, embodying the power of a Sixth Grade Demon King within him. The power rushing through his body was as vast and incessant as a large river.

In both cultivation and strength, Young Master Hu was undeniably much stronger than Zhou Ying.

Crack!

Ye Xuan’s Spiritual Edge Sword traced a cross in the air, instantly tearing apart the Qi Force.

"Hmph, let’s see how many punches you can block!"

Young Master Hu’s demonic power surged, his speed explosively increasing as he nearly instantaneously approached in front of Ye Xuan, his demonic power billowing out.

"White Tiger Roar Fist!"

Young Master Hu bellowed, his arm like a long dragon, demonic power tumultuously flowing from the front of his fist as he aimed at Ye Xuan’s face.

Among the Demon Beast tigers, the strongest had always been the Divine Beast White Tiger – an Ancient God beast that had long disappeared. Even in the heart of the Spirit Martial World, it was unlikely for a White Tiger to exist, let alone in the Chaotic Sea Domain.

The Martial Arts technique that Young Master Hu was employing might have only the slightest connection to the White Tiger, or perhaps no connection at all, perhaps only bearing the name. Young Master Hu himself only possessed Innate Upper Grade bloodline, with not that strong of an inherent power.

"Dragon Elephant Return to Origin!"

Ye Xuan halted his steps, no choice but to meet the blow head-on.

Terrifying power converged in his palm, with dragon roars resounding as they collided with the white tiger head.

Bang!

Qi Force exploded, sending Ye Xuan and Young Master Hu flying backward.

"How is it possible that when it comes to a contest of strength, he can match Young Master Hu blow for blow?"

Witnessing this spectacle, including Young Master Blood Python and Honglian Envoy, everyone’s expressions were utterly shaken. Young Master Hu’s most renowned strength was undoubtedly his power, yet Ye Xuan was able to match him, blow for blow, indicating that Ye Xuan possessed bodily strength on par with Young Master Hu.
