Chapter 424: Too Naive!

Two top experts fighting two against one, yet they couldn't take down Ye Yuan; both felt disgraced.

These top disciples of first-rate families naturally had their own powerful trump cards.

But there were very few who could force them to reveal those cards.

Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe had kept their trump cards for each other, but now they had to use them both against Ye Yuan.

Because watching from the sidelines until now, they saw that ordinary methods simply couldn't handle Ye Yuan!

Although Ye Yuan was only at the seventh level of Crystal Formation, his actual combat strength was already on par with theirs!

No, it even surpassed them!

Because just now, the two of them together had only barely fought Ye Yuan to a draw!

How could such a heaven-defying genius be defeated without using full force?

Huang Wenqiu used a blade. He raised his long blade and said solemnly, "To die under my 'Three Blades Against the Wind' is your fortune!"

Xue Zaihe, on the other hand, relied on his bare palms. But then he clasped his hands together, and his aura surged dramatically!

His cultivation level was actually rising continuously!

Soon Xue Zaihe broke through to the sixth level of Sea of Transformation, but it didn't stop; his aura kept rising!

Before long, Xue Zaihe broke through to the seventh level of Sea of Transformation!

Everyone's expression changed!

"Nine Transformations of Primordial Fire! Xue Zaihe actually mastered the Nine Transformations of Primordial Fire!" Shi Haoran exclaimed in shock.

"The Nine Transformations of Primordial Fire is a martial art that uses the primordial fire within a martial artist's body as a foundation to stimulate potential, temporarily raising one's cultivation level. It's the Xue family's ultimate technique. I didn't expect Xue Zaihe to have successfully planted the primordial fire in his body and mastered this technique. Truly surprising!" Shangguan Lingyun praised.

"Judging from Xue Zaihe's breakthrough to the seventh level of Sea of Transformation, the primordial fire in his body should be quasi-fourth-grade, quite impressive! Hehe, I'm very curious to see how Ji Qing plans to deal with these two's ultimate techniques." Shangguan Lingxue laughed.

The effect of the Nine Transformations of Primordial Fire was similar to the Five Elements Spirit-Connecting Pill Ye Yuan had taken earlier—it could temporarily raise a martial artist's cultivation level!

At this point, Xiao Ruyan could no longer sit still.

She couldn't help but slightly lift her veil, taking in the scene on the arena.

When she saw Xue Zaihe break through to the seventh level of Sea of Transformation, she couldn't help worrying for Ye Yuan.

"Ji Qing, you must not be okay! Otherwise, I will never forgive myself!" Xiao Ruyan said with tears in her eyes.

"Hehe, I didn't think you had a trick up your sleeve! If you suddenly used this move when fighting me, I really wouldn't know how to deal with it!" Huang Wenqiu chuckled.

He and Xue Zaihe had always been evenly matched, with no clear superiority.

Once Xue Zaihe directly broke through to the seventh level of Sea of Transformation, reaching the late stage of Sea of Transformation, no matter how strong Huang Wenqiu was, he couldn't win!

Xue Zaihe grinned and said, "Even if you know, so what? I don't believe you can cross two minor cultivation levels to defeat me!"

There was already a huge gap between the seventh and sixth levels of Sea of Transformation, let alone Huang Wenqiu being only at the fifth level.

So Xue Zaihe was full of confidence!

But Huang Wenqiu said calmly, "Heh, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed! Since you've made such great progress, how could I dare to slack off?"

As he spoke, Huang Wenqiu's aura suddenly surged!

But what surged was not his cultivation level, but an indomitable momentum!

Xue Zaihe's expression changed: "Furious Blade Against the Wind! You actually mastered the third form, Furious Blade Against the Wind!"

Huang Wenqiu grinned and said, "I wonder what would happen if I used this against you?"

At this moment, although Huang Wenqiu's cultivation level was still at the fifth level of Sea of Transformation, his momentum even surpassed Xue Zaihe's!

"Furious Blade Against the Wind! Hahaha, this kid has some skills, actually mastering Furious Blade Against the Wind! Now I want to see how Ji Qing alone can deal with Furious Blade Against the Wind plus the Nine Transformations of Primordial Fire!" Zhao Chengqian laughed loudly.

The crowd below the arena was also full of exclamations!

The reason the Huang and Xue families were both called the top families was not only their family foundations but also the great contribution of these two martial arts!

"These two truly deserve to be tied for second place among the experts. With such talent, how many among the younger generation can match them?"

"Late Sea of Transformation versus late Crystal Formation—the gap is too great, not to mention there's also Huang Wenqiu, who has mastered the third form of 'Three Blades Against the Wind'!"

"Reaching the realm of Furious Blade Against the Wind means this martial art has entered the hall! The power of Furious Blade Against the Wind is enough to match Huang Wenqiu with the enhanced Xue Zaihe! This... how will Master Ji respond?"

The martial art 'Three Blades Against the Wind' had only three forms, but with each form mastered, the power increased exponentially!

The reason Huang Wenqiu was called the second expert was that he had mastered the second form, far ahead of his peers.

And now, he had even mastered the third form, showing that he had left his Huang family peers far behind!

Of course, each form of 'Three Blades Against the Wind' had three layers, and Huang Wenqiu had not yet fully mastered even the first layer.

Even so, he was already strong enough!

Everyone knew these two had strong trump cards, but they didn't expect them to be this strong!

"Ji Qing, forcing us to use our killing moves is enough to make you proud. But after today, there will be no more Ji Qing in the royal city!" Huang Wenqiu sneered.

Ye Yuan had been watching them like a bystander the whole time, without making any move himself.

Hearing Huang Wenqiu's sneer, Ye Yuan suddenly smiled: "It seems you two, tied for second in the royal city, do have some skills."

"Heh, pretending to be calm? But... it's useless!" Xue Zaihe said with a faint smile.

The two, having used their trump cards, were inflated with confidence!

Even if they were to challenge Zhao Chengqian now, they wouldn't be afraid!

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No need to pretend. If you think this is enough to defeat me, I can only say... you're too naive!"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan gently released the Canghua Sword in his hand, and with a 'swish,' it disappeared into the clouds!

"Before, with insufficient cultivation and inadequate Yuan power, I couldn't unleash the full power of Thousand Streams Falling Flowers. But now, my Yuan power can support the full force of this move, so... enjoy it to your hearts' content!"

Ye Yuan's words seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, each word striking the hearts of Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe.

The massive display earlier, killing over a dozen mid-Sea of Transformation experts in one go, wasn't even his full power?

Then... how terrifying would the full release of this move be?

Soon, they would know how terrifying it was, because the sky was filled with petals, drifting down...

This time, it wasn't just the entire arena!
