In this day and age, when a powerful individual challenges others, it is called a display of strength. However, those who lack power yet wish to use others as stepping stones for fame are simply fools. Undoubtedly, Yan Yue was such a fool. Having once lost an arm to Ye Huan, he seemed oblivious to the gap between them. Upon hearing that Ye Huan had returned to Yuxu Palace, he rushed to confront Ye Huan without even considering the extent of Ye Huan's current abilities.
Ye Huan might not have been aware of what others were saying, but how could he not recognize Yan Yue's voice? Slowly rising to his feet, Ye Huan confirmed it was indeed Yan Yue and smiled instead of getting angry. Without hesitation, he pushed open the door, startling the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, who was basking in the sun nearby. The dragon asked in confusion, "Ye Huan, what are you planning to do?"
"Mind your own business and enjoy your sunbathing."
Ye Huan rolled his eyes at the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon. He had no intention of letting a third person know about Yan Yue's situation because this time, he aimed to eliminate Yan Yue once and for all. Otherwise, keeping such a petty person around would only lead to future troubles.
Moving swiftly, Ye Huan arrived at the peak of Yuxu Mountain. Perhaps due to the disciples of Yuxu Palace being occupied with matters concerning the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the entire peak felt deserted; there wasn't a soul in sight. Just as Ye Huan was carefully observing his surroundings, someone approached from behind along the path he had taken earlier and stopped twenty meters away from him. Coldly, the figure said, "Ye Huan, you haven't disappointed me. It seems you're prepared to meet your end."
"Meet my end? That term suits you much better," Ye Huan replied without turning around. Upon hearing Yan Yue's voice, he unleashed his aura as a Nascent Soul Practitioner, enveloping Yan Yue within it.
"Nascent Soul Stage?"
Staring intently at Ye Huan's back, Yan Yue would never have imagined that Ye Huan was a Nascent Soul Practitioner if he hadn't been engulfed by that overwhelming aura himself. What shocked him even more was that it had been less than a year since Ye Huan last left Yuxu Palace, and now he had already become a Nascent Soul Practitioner. If this continued for ten or even a hundred years...
Not daring to think further for the sake of his own life, Yan Yue released his own aura. This time, it surprised Ye Huan because he could clearly sense that Yan Yue was undoubtedly a Golden Core Stage Cultivator now.
"Yan Yue, no wonder you dared to come looking for trouble; I didn't expect you to have become a Golden Core Stage Cultivator."
Turning his head in surprise, Ye Huan scrutinized Yan Yue for a moment. He had to admit that if it weren't for him, Yan Yue would undoubtedly have become the most outstanding disciple of Yuxu Palace in recent years. This was evident from the fact that within just six months of Ye Huan's departure, Yan Yue had already reached the Golden Core Stage.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I must say, my achievements are all thanks to you..."
With a cold glare directed at Ye Huan, it was clear to anyone present that Yan Yue's eyes held nothing but hatred; there was no trace of any other emotion. Even as he spoke, his teeth were clenched, and he looked as if he wished to devour Ye Huan alive.
It was no wonder that Yan Yue harbored such resentment towards Ye Huan. After all, Ye Huan had broken one of his arms. Anyone in his position would likely regard Ye Huan with disdain, especially since Yan Yue was not exactly a good person to begin with.
Trying to move under the pressure of Ye Huan's Nascent Soul Practitioner aura, every action Yan Yue took seemed laborious. However, for him, if he couldn't kill Ye Huan, the outcome was easy to imagine.
"Die, Ye Huan!"
With a sudden roar of fury, Yan Yue finally launched his attack. He expelled a pure white Flying Sword from his mouth, its speed rivaling the bullets fired from Ye Huan's firearms. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of Ye Huan.
'What is this...'
Narrowly dodging the attack from the Flying Sword, Ye Huan became intrigued by Yan Yue's unique method of assault. If he remembered correctly, being able to release a Flying Sword from one's body was one of the rare spells in the Cultivator world. It emphasized the unity between person and sword; borrowing terminology from Ye Huan's previous world, it could be called 'Sword Cultivator.' Only when one achieved Human-Sword Unity could they be considered truly accomplished.
Whoosh...
As Ye Huan pondered everything about this spell in his mind, the Flying Sword that had missed him on its first attempt circled back around. If it weren't for Ye Huan's quick reflexes, he might have lost his head. Even so, a few strands of his hair were severed by the sword. This infuriated Ye Huan completely. Taking out a modified M4A1 assault rifle equipped with a silencer from his arsenal, he declared, "You really think I'm easy to bully? Fine, today I'll show you what kind of price you pay for seeking trouble with me, Ye Huan."
Not wanting to waste any more time with Yan Yue and to avoid drawing attention from others, Ye Huan swiftly aimed and pulled the trigger at Yan Yue.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a dull sound from the silencer mounted on the M4A1 assault rifle, Yan Yue moved with an unusual agility, evading a barrage of bullets. Occasionally, a few bullets struck him, but they were all deflected by Yan Yue, causing no real harm.
"Haha, is the Nascent Soul Stage really that weak?"
Looking down at the spent bullet casings scattered around him, Yan Yue appeared quite arrogant after blocking Ye Huan's attack. His confidence was evident in his speech, unlike before. What he didn't realize was that Ye Huan had refrained from using any loud and powerful arms to avoid alarming the people inside Yuxu Palace. However, given the current situation, it was clear that relying solely on the M4A1 assault rifle would make it very difficult to kill Yan Yue, who possessed Golden Core Stage strength.
'What weapon should I use?'
Various arms from the 2012 Arms Encyclopedia flashed through Ye Huan's mind, and suddenly he had an idea. He flipped his hand and took out two flashbangs.
Don't underestimate these flashbangs that had initially helped Ye Huan achieve great feats. Under the influence of the Blood Refinement Sword Qi, even a lighter had been modified; let alone flashbangs that could be enhanced in brightness.
With a snap, he easily pulled the pin from one flashbang while donning a pair of black sunglasses on his nose. He hurled the flashbang towards Yan Yue's feet with precision…
