Battle Against Liu Yuxing

Liu Yuxing?

After hearing Zhou Kui's words, Yi Yun was momentarily confused. Clearly, Zhou Kui meant that Liu Yuxing was very strong, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way here to tell him.

Among the newcomers, Yi Yun knew Chu Xiaoran and Qiu Niu, but he really didn't know much about the other strong newcomers. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that from the fourth-ranked newcomer onwards, these people were all a blank to Yi Yun.

This is also because Yi Yun has been busy gathering herbs and cultivating these days, completely oblivious to what's going on around him, so he naturally doesn't know about some very famous figures.

"Is Liu Yuxing very capable?"

"Of course! He is the heir of Duke Liu's household, he has been on the battlefield, he has killed people, and he is ranked sixth among the newcomers!"

Sixth among newcomers?

Upon hearing this ranking, Yi Yun thought to himself, "It's nothing special."

However, seeing Zhou Kui's expression as if Liu Yuxing was about to defy the heavens, Yi Yun didn't want to discourage him, so he could only nod silently and agree, "Then she must be quite strong..."

"Not only good! Liu Yuxing's 'Star Picking Hand' has an extremely unpredictable attack method. You must be careful; it can kill someone from a hundred paces away without them even noticing!"

Zhou Kui knew some things about the "Star Picking Hand," but not in great detail.

"Star Picking Hand"?

Yi Yun had never heard of this technique before. It could kill someone from a hundred paces away without them even realizing it, which sounded rather bizarre.

However, being bizarre does not equate to being powerful. He knew that in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, the <Tai'a Sacred Law> was undoubtedly the number one cultivation technique, as evidenced by both the extremely rare opportunity to cultivate it and its difficulty in cultivation.

Over millions of years, countless sages have studied the Tai'a Sacred Law and considered it an honor to add their own understanding and insights to it!

In reality, those who can add the True Meaning of Laws to the <Tai'a Sacred Law> are often peak-level sages and virtuous individuals. Such figures are not found in every era of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

Yi Yun arrived at the arena, which was even more crowded than Celestial Person.

Many of the trial participants who have been in Tai'a Divine City for two or three years have come to watch today's competition.

Yesterday, Yi Yun's outstanding performance has already spread throughout the newcomer circle of Tai'a Divine City.

Yi Yun's performance wasn't enough to attract the attention of seasoned trial participants like Yang Gan and Demon Blade, whose cultivation had reached the Origin Foundation Realm or higher. However, to the older participants ranked two or three thousandth, someone like Yi Yun was a potential threat.

Within a year, Yi Yun will be upon them. It's always good to be aware of future rivals beforehand.

"That is Yi Yun."

Yi Yun's appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention. As the saying goes, a person's name is as influential as a tree's shadow; now, Yi Yun can be considered a prominent figure in Tai'a Divine City.

"Liu Yuxing has appeared; that's Liu Yuxing."

Amidst a slight commotion in the crowd, a young man in white strolled leisurely into the arena.

Liu Yuxing, with an ethereal air. His clothes and shoes were all white and spotless.

Liu Yuxing glanced at Yi Yun, then looked away. He sat down in his seat, eyes downcast, seemingly indifferent to everything around him, extremely aloof.

Yi Yun silently connected his spiritual power to the Heavenly Eye Bead, observing Liu Yuxing from a distance of more than ten feet.

After condensing the Heavenly Eye Bead, Yi Yun was able to vaguely sense the fluctuations of the opponent's internal energy, thus deducing the opponent's cultivation level.

"He should be in the Purple Blood Late-stage..."

Yi Yun felt that Liu Yuxing's cultivation level was slightly higher than his own, and it was most reasonable for him to be at the Purple Blood Late-stage realm.

The second day of the rookie ranking competition has officially begun!

Yi Yun's opponents all withdrew, until --

"Divine Desolation Stage, number 1003, Yi Yun! Number 1006, Liu Yuxing! Step forward and fight!"

The referee shouted from the Divine Desolation Stage.

"It matches up!"

The young men and women who were originally lost in thought, meditating, or gossiping in private now perked up and turned their attention to the Divine Desolation Stage.

Most of them came to the arena today to witness the battle between Yi Yun and Liu Yuxing!

Now, it's finally starting!

Liu Yuxing's clothes fluttered as she flew up like a light swan, landing lightly on the arena without stirring up a speck of dust. Her lightness skill alone was enough to amaze everyone.

Purple Blood Warrior are incapable of flight, but Liu Yuxing's lightness skill makes it look like she's flying.

Yi Yun also stepped onto the Divine Desolation Stage, standing ten feet away from Liu Yuxing, facing each other.

Liu Yuxing stood with her hands behind her back and her head slightly raised.

He glanced at Yi Yun and said calmly, "Someone offered me eight thousand Dragon Scale Rune to stop your winning streak, which is why I'm standing on this stage today. It's not that I'm interested in challenging you..."

As Liu Yuxing spoke, a sword appeared in his hand.

The sword appeared as if by magic. Liu Yuxing casually twirled the sword, its tip pointing directly at Yi Yun, yet the sword remained in its sheath.

Liu Yuxing did not draw his sword. "Make your move. If you can make me draw my sword within ten moves and withstand three strikes, then I will show you the Liu Family's ultimate technique— 'Star Picking Hand'!"

Liu Family teachings, the "Star Picking Hand" should not be used lightly, as the effects of the technique should be concealed from others.

Therefore, if possible, Liu Yuxing wanted to eliminate Yi Yun without using the "Star Picking Hand".

Everyone present heard his words clearly; this Liu Yuxing was indeed arrogant!

When facing Yi Yun, he initially didn't even intend to draw his sword!

Yi Yun is no pushover; he already demonstrated extraordinary strength when he defeated the Four Little Tyrants.

The fact that Liu Yuxing dared to say that after watching that match means that Yi Yun's current strength poses no threat to Liu Yuxing!

The outcome of this battle will depend on how much hidden strength Yi Yun still possesses!

If Yi Yun hadn't been hiding his strength, he would probably have lost!

Liu Yuxing is truly terrifying!

Among the more than two thousand newcomers who came to Tai'a Divine City this time, although they are all said to be geniuses, there is actually a huge gap between them! The experts among the newcomers are in no way inferior to the veteran trial participants who have been undergoing trials in Tai'a Divine City for more than three years!

"Within ten moves, I'll force you to draw your sword?" Yi Yun's lips curled slightly. He touched the Space Ring on the ring finger of his left hand with his right hand, then flipped his hand and took out the Sky-Flipping Seal.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Yi Yun's actions, momentarily speechless.

Good heavens! Did I read that right?!

Even at this point, why is Yi Yun still pulling out his brick?

Was he planning to use a brick to deal with Liu Yuxing?!

Who is Liu Yuxing? Does Liu Yuxing Yi Yun really intend to take him down like one of the Four Little Tyrants?!

Has he gone mad!?

Yi Yun held the Sky-Flipping Seal, slightly loosened his wrists, and said, "If you can make me draw my sword within ten moves and withstand three strikes, then I'll show you a set of techniques I recently mastered."

Yi Yun returned Liu Yuxing's words verbatim.

Liu Yuxing froze on the spot.

"What did you say?"

A bulging vein appeared on Liu Yuxing's forehead, and his face turned ashen.

He was already arrogant enough. He knew Yi Yun was actually very capable, but that was just Liu Yuxing's personality. However, he didn't expect that Yi Yun was even more arrogant than him.

How dare they talk to me like that?

Liu Yuxing doesn't draw his sword, but that doesn't mean he doesn't use it. A sword in its sheath is far more powerful than a brick!

"Within ten moves, I'll force you to draw your sword. After that, you'll show me a martial arts technique? Heh heh..." Liu Yuxing laughed in extreme anger. What he showed Yi Yun was the Liu Family's "Star Picking Hand," and Yi Yun returned the favor verbatim. But what martial arts technique could he possibly have that could compare to the "Star Picking Hand"?

Liu Yuxing felt that both she and "Star Picking Hand" had been insulted by Yi Yun!

"Court death!"

Enraged, Liu Yuxing made his move, and a sudden gust of wind swept through the once calm Divine Desolation Stage in the center of the arena!

The Sword Qi energy was fierce and unrestrained, shooting forth with boundless force!

Liu Yuxing appeared before Yi Yun like a ghost!

This gust of wind was almost entirely generated by his Movement Technique; it was incredibly fast!

"Call out!"

Liu Yuxing thrust his sword straight at Yi Yun's throat. A sword that is not drawn from its sheath loses much of its sharpness, but with the enhancement of Liu Yuxing's vital energy, the power of this sword is still incredibly terrifying!

"Snap snap snap!"

Before the sword even arrived, the surging Sword Qi, like a sharp knife, poured down onto the Purple Tungsten Steel ground, cutting out shocking sword marks.

The Purple Tungsten Steel is incredibly hard; the mere Sword Qi energy was enough to cut a sword mark into it. One can only imagine the power of Liu Yuxing's sword strike!

Seeing the sword coming, Yi Yun flew backward, blocking it with his Sky-Flipping Seal.

"Bite!"

With a metallic clang, Yi Yun felt the Sky-Flipping Seal in his hand tremble. Unrestrained Sword Qi, without any fancy moves, impacted the Sky-Flipping Seal, shattering it instantly!

It's blocked!

Everyone was shocked! Yi Yun used the Sky-Flipping Seal to block Liu Yuxing's Sword Qi; the first move was over!

"Um!?"

A ferocious glint flashed in Liu Yuxing's eyes. Holding such a short weapon as the Sky-Flipping Seal, it was barely enough to smash people, but it was practically impossible to use it for blocking.

But Yi Yun used it to block his own attack!?

"Pointing out the flaws in the landscape!"

Liu Yuxing changed her moves, and her Sword Light rained down on Yi Yun!

The dazzling Sword Light seemed to blend into the wind; only the Sword Light was visible, not the sword itself! It was hard for people to imagine that this was the Sword Light unsheathed!

Such Sword Light covered an area of three zhang in radius. Within this area, it almost became Liu Yuxing's absolute domain, and Liu Yuxing was the king who ruled this domain!

Yi Yun was enveloped in this domain. As long as he was within this range, he would immediately be attacked by endless Sword Light. In the blink of an eye, there would be hundreds of swords!

"A speed contest?" Yi Yun's lips curled into a smile. When it came to speed, he had never been afraid of anyone!
