Chapter 160: Goodbye Yan Ji
On the Arena of the Hero's Tower's Third Floor, Sun Zhe and Yukong stood on either side of the Arena. Sun Zhe was dressed in a White Robe, exuding a strong aura of killing intent, while Yukong wore ornate clothing, his eyes flashing with an enigmatic mystery. Both were outstanding figures of the younger generation, and their battle attracted countless spectators.
"Senior Wu, do you think Brother Sun will win?" Shen Yan asked with some concern as he watched the two on the Arena.
Seeing Shen Yan's worried expression, Takeda sighed slightly. Sun Zhe not only had a lower cultivation level than Yukong but also lacked the background to compare with him. It was impossible for him to master a mysterious technique like Yuling Jue. One was ranked seventy-eighth on the Star Ranking List, while the other was forty-ninth; the twenty-nine ranks difference alone highlighted their disparity.
It wasn't that Sun Zhe wasn't strong; even Takeda had to admire his potential. Without the support of a Sect, he had achieved such strength at a young age—something even Takeda couldn't match. However, he faced an even more formidable opponent in Yukong, who was hailed as a once-in-a-century talent within the vast Yuling Sect. His astonishing cultivation qualifications and monstrous comprehension abilities had even surpassed human limits.
"Perhaps his luck isn't that bad..."
After pondering for a moment, perhaps not wanting to increase Shen Yan's worries further, Takeda could only attribute it to luck. If luck were truly on his side, he might not lose; as for winning, Takeda hadn't even considered that. Not only did he not think so, but neither did the two elders from Yuling Sect; they believed Yukong could not possibly lose.
At this moment, guests on the Third Floor could no longer sit still and stood up to gather around the Arena, watching the two combatants and engaging in endless discussions. However, Sun Zhe and Yukong on the Arena remained unaffected by the external commotion.
If they couldn't maintain this level of composure, they wouldn't deserve to be called figures of the younger generation.
"Since Brother Sun is unwilling to make a move, I will take the initiative and let him see our Yuling Sect's divine technique," Yukong said with a faint cold smile. The blue light in his eyes suddenly intensified as he extended his right hand, enveloped by a ball of blue light.
"Transform Spirit!"
With a soft command, countless blue light spots flickered in space, and the entire Arena seemed to plunge into a blue world. Sun Zhe immediately felt himself trapped in a bizarre domain; his eyes narrowed slightly as he realized this was Yukong's Spirit Domain.
Countless blue light points quickly converged together. With a change of gesture, they transformed into a Blue Butterfly before Yukong in an instant. The butterfly gently flapped its wings as if it were a real butterfly, but it emanated an eerie aura akin to that of a Beast Soul from a demon beast, radiating the unique power of a Fourth-Stage Demon Beast.
Yukong pointed forward with his right hand. To everyone's astonishment, the Blue Butterfly vanished into thin air. Sun Zhe's expression changed dramatically; with a flash of Purple Radiance beneath his feet, he instantly flew backward. Just as he left his original position, the Blue Butterfly appeared where he had just stood, its wings shimmering with blade-like sharpness.
"Not bad reaction speed."
The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile, and Yukong's gesture suddenly changed again, causing the Blue Butterfly to attempt to vanish once more.
At that moment, a black Sword Aura suddenly flashed out from outside, cutting through the void and striking down upon the Blue Butterfly. Blue light splattered everywhere as the mysterious butterfly was directly shattered by the Sword Aura. The sudden change left everyone stunned.
"Who is it? Show yourself!"
Yukong's expression shifted as he shouted sternly towards the outside of the Arena, a hint of cold killing intent flashing in his eyes. Sun Zhe also looked over in confusion, not understanding who had acted on his behalf.
Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, a young man dressed in black slowly walked out. His long black hair hung loosely behind him, and his indifferent gaze held no emotion. Strangely, his two pupils flickered with completely different lights; the Left Eye was pitch black, as if it had been silent for millennia, while the right eye sparkled with light, seemingly containing boundless vitality.
Step by step, he slowly walked into the Third Floor of the pavilion, completely ignoring the dozens of Divine Consciousness locking onto him. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before the Arena, and at that moment, everyone finally saw his face clearly.
"Yan Ji!!!"
Upon recognizing the appearance of the man in black, Zhao Ang and others couldn't help but exclaim. They never expected that this sudden attacker would be Yan Ji, the Inner Sect Disciple who had left Xuan Lei Sect years ago, a person of immense strength. Judging by his current aura, it was clear that he had far surpassed his previous level.
"You are Yan Ji, ranked thirty-seventh on the Star Ranking List?"
Yukong's expression slightly tightened, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. The information controlled by Xingluomen was extensive; there was a reason behind every ranking. The fact that Yan Ji could rank thirty-seventh on the Star Ranking List certainly indicated his formidable strength. However, Yukong did not expect that Yan Ji would suddenly act against him.
Although he was wary of Yan Ji's strength, he was still Yukong, a rare talent from Yuling Sect. With his pride, how could he fear someone of the same generation? At least he had not encountered such a person yet. With a cold gaze fixed on Yan Ji, the chill in Yukong's eyes did not diminish as he slowly spoke,
"According to the rules of the Hero's Tower, no third party is allowed to intervene during a duel between two people. What do you mean by acting like this?"
As he spoke, the two elders from Yuling Sect also looked at Yan Ji with unfriendly expressions.
After a moment, Yan Ji slowly raised his head and glanced indifferently at Yukong, as if looking at an unrelated passerby. His voice emerged, somewhat hoarse.
"I only need to follow my own rules; the rules set by others have nothing to do with me!"
The calm words were wrapped in an overwhelming arrogance, causing everyone present to be taken aback. Yukong was left speechless; talking to someone so unreasonable felt like speaking to a corpse. Yet, this person was precisely a terrifyingly powerful individual, leaving Yukong feeling helpless for the first time.
"This kid is too arrogant; he actually dares to violate the rules of Hero's Tower. Someone will come to deal with him soon."
"That's right, even the people from Yuling Sect must abide by the rules here in Hero's Tower. How dare a young one be so bold? He truly doesn't know the danger he's in."
"Hehe, everyone just wait and enjoy the show."
...
Although surprised by Yan Ji's arrogance, this was after all Hero's Tower, a place where even members of the Four Major Sects wouldn't dare to overstep. Everyone had already calculated Yan Ji's impending fate, and their gazes towards him were tinged with schadenfreude.
The murmurs of discussion rose and fell, with all onlookers chattering away. Yukong also revealed a hint of a cold smile; since Yan Ji had already violated the rules of Hero's Tower, even if he didn't take action, Yan Ji wouldn't have a good outcome. Over the years, very few had managed to break the rules of Hero's Tower.
At that moment, on the fifth floor of Hero's Tower, two elderly men looked helplessly at a black sphere on the wooden table. The sphere displayed the scene currently unfolding on the Third Floor, and even the discussions of the crowd reached their ears without missing a beat.
"What are we going to do? This kid has violated the rules of Hero's Tower, and so many people saw it. We can't just sit back and do nothing, but..." The elderly man dressed in red frowned and spoke with difficulty.
"You know how it is... that man is not easy to deal with. You know he smashed half of Hero's Tower in Jizhou. Old Man Ji was so scared he hid for three years. This kid's personality is somewhat similar to his. Anyway, if you want to go, you go; I won't get involved. This is your territory anyway," said the elderly man on the right, spreading his hands in a very nonchalant manner.
"You... are you afraid? Am I not afraid? If he finds out I bullied his son, with his temper, he might just tear me apart. Only Master could handle him; even if we both teamed up, we wouldn't be enough for him to slice down with one sword. I think we should just let this go; after all, nothing major has happened. We didn't see anything..."
"Yeah, right, we didn't see anything."
The two elderly men exchanged glances and immediately replied in unison. As soon as they finished speaking, they stepped into thin air and instantly vanished from the room. Out of sight meant out of mind; this was indeed the best choice.
In the third floor of the Hero's Tower, everyone was unaware of the scene happening on the fifth floor. They were still waiting for the owner of the Hero's Tower to come for Judgment, not knowing that the irresponsible old man had already run away.
"It seems no one is coming."
With a slight cold smile, Yan Ji walked forward without a care.
"You..." Yukong's expression suddenly stiffened, and the cold light in his eyes intensified. Although he did not understand why the owner of the Hero's Tower had not appeared, it was clear that no one was coming to trouble Yan Ji.
As Yan Ji slowly approached, pedestrians along the way hurriedly made way, fearing they might inadvertently provoke this cold-hearted killer. Although some disapproved of Yan Ji's arrogance, it was evident that someone who could unleash such Sword Aura was not an ordinary person.
"The thing from back then can be handed over to me now..."
Reaching in front of Sun Zhe, Yan Ji spoke coldly. Sun Zhe was taken aback, and memories of a scene from the Northern Mang Secret Realm flooded back to his mind.
"I hope you can protect this item well. I will come back to retrieve it after some time."
It turned out that Yan Ji was not here to attack Sun Zhe but to demand that mysterious Ancient Cauldron from him!
