Xu Kun's words instantly created a tense atmosphere in the room.
At this moment, both sides suddenly stood up, knocking over their chairs with a loud crash.
Faced with such a situation, the Innkeeper of the Gathering Fortune Pavilion hurried upstairs, his face pale, and respectfully pleaded, "Gentlemen, running this little tavern is not easy for me. Can't we...?"
The Innkeeper stopped mid-sentence, as he couldn't tell the guests to move to another place to fight. He could only look around anxiously, clearly hoping that these troublemakers would understand his meaning.
"Forget it, let's go," Ye Tian waved his hand at the others behind him, indicating that they should let today’s incident go. After all, they were not a bunch of street thugs; there was no need to resort to violence over a trivial matter.
"Wait, are you afraid?!" Xu Kun felt emboldened again when he saw Ye Tian preparing to leave. He misunderstood Ye Tian's intention and thought he was scared.
At this moment, Ye Tian, who had reached the staircase, paused but did not retaliate. Instead, he continued down with the others.
"It seems this kid is really afraid; I must seize this opportunity!" Xu Kun thought to himself. In recent days, wherever he went, he heard discussions about Ye Tian. Such fame was indeed resounding throughout Spirit Martial Town. Now faced with his provocation, Ye Tian didn't even dare to look back. If this news spread, one could imagine how famous Xu Kun would become.
At this point, Xu Kun was already planning to spend money hiring a storyteller to spread the word about this incident. He even had a title in mind: "Xu Kun defeats a strong enemy; Ye Tian flees in panic! Yes, just like that!" He secretly murmured in his heart, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face as if the event had already come true.
"Brother Kun, they are leaving. Should we chase them?"
A hand waved in front of Xu Kun, bringing him back to reality. Looking at the younger brother beside him who reminded him, he suddenly felt a surge of determination to assert his dominance.
"Why not chase them? Haven't you heard of kicking someone when they're down?!" Xu Kun replied excitedly and rushed downstairs first. Seeing this scene, several younger brothers hurriedly followed suit.
After all, if news got out about beating genius Ye Tian, his reputation would surely echo throughout Spirit Martial Town for at least ten days or more.
The crowd surged as Ye Tian and his companions walked through the market. Aside from Ye Tian and Leng Ping, the others wore displeased expressions, clearly unhappy with Ye Tian's 'cowardice' in battle.
"Stop! You think you can just walk away after provoking me?"
A shrill voice rang out; it was Xu Kun catching up to them.
"Ugh... this guy is really persistent..." Ye Tian sighed helplessly, not expecting Xu Kun to be so aggressive. It seemed that without teaching him a lesson, he wouldn't let go.
"Uh..." After turning around, Ye Tian was momentarily stunned by Xu Kun's actions, unable to say a word.
At that moment, as Ye Tian turned back, he saw Xu Kun leap from behind his gang of followers. After performing a series of acrobatic flips in the air, he landed on the ground, propped himself up with one hand, slowly raised his head, and feigned coolness as he said, "If you want to leave, you need to ask my fist if it agrees!"
Faced with such a scene, not only was Ye Tian speechless, but even the passersby around them were dumbfounded, thinking to themselves: "This kid... is he out of his mind? Doesn't he realize he's stepped in something..."
Of course, Xu Kun felt no awkwardness about his dramatic entrance. On the contrary, he was feeling quite pleased with himself, thinking that he looked much cooler now. However, he couldn't shake off the strange sensation of something sticky underfoot.
The atmosphere fell into silence; it was the calm before a storm of laughter.
Finally, after Xu Kun smirked coldly once more, everyone nearby could no longer hold back and erupted into laughter.
"Don't you feel anything?" Ye Tian asked with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"What... what's wrong?" Xu Kun sensed something was off in the atmosphere and hesitantly asked.
"Forget it, let's just go," Ye Tian replied with a resigned smile. He called over his companions who were already laughing uncontrollably and prepared to leave. Facing Xu Kun, who was completely oblivious to having stepped in dog poop, he felt an odd reluctance to confront him.
"Kun Ge, get up quickly; you've stepped in dog poop!" One of the younger gang members shot Xu Kun a knowing look. The younger brother's face was flushed red as he realized their leader had made a fool of himself.
"I... I..." Xu Kun struggled to lift his foot under everyone's gaze, stammering and unsure how to smooth things over.
"Hahahahaha!" The laughter around him grew louder.
"What the hell are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase them down! I'm going to beat them to death today!" Xu Kun shouted, pointing at Ye Tian and the others not far ahead. At this moment, he felt so embarrassed that he wished he could tear off his own skin, and naturally, he shifted all the blame onto Ye Tian.
Since they were not far apart, Ye Tian heard Xu Kun's roar. He understood the principle that pride comes before a fall, so he suppressed his laughter and seriously said to Leng Ping and the others, "Get ready to fight back, everyone be careful."
Ye Tian calmly spoke this line to Leng Ping and the others. Although they had been mocking earlier, when faced with an inevitable battle, Ye Tian could quickly get into the right mindset.
"Brothers, let's go!" Someone shouted, and soon more than a dozen people from both sides were tangled in a fight.
Ye Tian did not join the fray because his target was Xu Kun. As long as he dealt with Xu Kun, the rest would be easy to handle.
"It's still not too late to roll away now!" Upon seeing Xu Kun's grim face, Ye Tian issued his final warning.
"Are you talking about yourself? But now you don't even have the chance to roll away!" Xu Kun shouted back and lunged forward.
Fists and palms clashed, legs flew in all directions, and the sounds of strikes echoed continuously as the two exchanged blows rapidly, engaging in over ten moves in no time.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Ye Tian and Xu Kun both stepped back, each feeling slightly surprised: "Looks like I underestimated my opponent."
"Hehe, this is indeed interesting. But if you think this is enough to defeat me, you're far from it!" Xu Kun shouted fiercely and charged forward again.
This time, Xu Kun clearly employed martial arts techniques. His Shadow of the Palm unleashed a series of strikes that created several phantom images resembling hawks.
"Good!" A cheer erupted from the crowd surrounding them. Although Xu Kun appeared somewhat effeminate and unremarkable, the Azure Hawk Palm he executed was quite powerful.
"Yellow Rank Four Martial Arts, Azure Hawk Palm!"
"I heard he's only a Second-Stage Warrior. To be able to barely manifest an eagle shape at this level, this kid really has some skill!"
Ye Tian furrowed his brows upon witnessing this, thinking to himself, "He can barely manage to materialize the eagle form; Xu Kun indeed has some tricks up his sleeve."
In a moment of distraction, the eagle conjured by his energy had already pounced in front of Ye Tian. Lacking any other martial arts training, Ye Tian could only brace himself for the impact.
Bang! Bang!
The muffled sounds continued to resonate as Ye Tian vibrated his energy, repeatedly using his arms to withstand the eagle's assault. Initially, he felt fine, but after several impacts, Ye Tian's arms became numb and painful, experiencing a burning sensation.
"Hah! I told you that provoking me would lead to no good outcome!" Xu Kun's confidence surged upon seeing that Ye Tian did not employ any martial arts. He thought to himself, "Could it be that he can't even use his Nine Seal Eight Trigrams Palm against my energy-based attack?"
With this thought, Xu Kun felt much more at ease. He had initially expected a tense battle, but after unleashing his martial arts, everything had become surprisingly simple.
While Ye Tian was being pushed back step by step, the others were engaged in a chaotic fight. Each one bore bruises and injuries, blood streaming down their faces. However, their opponents were not faring much better; they all looked equally battered, indicating a stalemate.
"As long as you lose, they're all finished. You need to pull yourself together, Ye Tian!" Xu Kun mocked with a grin, continuously taunting Ye Tian.
"Are you getting a bit too ahead of yourself?"
As he spoke, Ye Tian's figure leaped forward. His body began to evade the incoming Eagle Shadow with incredible agility while his fingers moved rapidly, initiating the Bagua Seal Palm.
Xu Kun was taken aback and stared in disbelief at Ye Tian's serpent-like agility. "What... what kind of martial arts is this..."
"This is something I was born to do!" Ye Tian shouted just before his fingertips touched Xu Kun.
'Pop!'
With a crisp sound, Ye Tian's finger landed in the center of Xu Kun's palm, where his energy was surging.
Xu Kun had naturally heard of the Cold Family's Bagua Seal Palm, and now that he had been struck by Ye Tian, it felt as if a time bomb had been planted within him, creating a sense of terror.
Xu Kun was taken aback, his mind racing to eliminate Ye Tian as quickly as possible to escape this perilous situation. He summoned all his strength and unleashed the Azure Hawk Palm with great force.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The Shadow of the Palm, charged with energy, continuously brushed past Ye Tian. Although each strike posed a significant threat to Ye Tian, he narrowly dodged every single one.
"Great! That was a beautiful dodge!" The surrounding audience marveled at Ye Tian's graceful movements, cheering loudly in excitement.
"Young Master, isn't that Ye Tian?" In a teahouse, a burly man dressed entirely in black with a fierce tiger embroidered on his chest spoke to a young man beside him, whose complexion resembled that of a Shadow Falcon.
"That's right, it's him." The young man's gaze remained fixed on the two fighters in the arena as he chuckled darkly. "I didn't expect him to progress so quickly."
"Then... should I go kill him for Young Master Wang Hu's revenge?" The black-clad man revealed a fierce expression.
"No need. Killing him now would be detrimental to our larger plans. Let's keep him alive; after all, he won't live many more years," the young man replied lazily, treating the matter of murder as casually as an afternoon chat.
