Hyuga Kagami sent out several palms in succession, immediately knocking two people flying. Then he spun continuously, nimbly evading the palms coming at him from all sides.
Next, a powerful burst of Chakra erupted from Hyuga Kagami's body. He thrust both palms forward, sending several streams of Chakra scattering in all directions.
At once, several people surrounding and attacking him were forced back simultaneously.
Then Hyuga Kagami took a quick step and charged toward Hyuga Kanjin.
Just as Hyuga Kagami's fist was about to land on Hyuga Kanjin, Hyuga Kanjin showed no panic. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he formed a hand seal with one hand, and a pained cry immediately rang out.
Hyuga Kagami collapsed to the ground, his body twisting into a knot with spasms as agonized cries continuously escaped his mouth.
Hyuga Kanjin said coldly, "Hyuga Kagami, you dared to forget the duties of the Branch Family and raise your fist against me, a member of the Main Family. This is a grave crime. You are truly courting death."
This is bad, the Hyuga Clan's Cursed Seal.
The sudden turn of events startled Uchiha Yuan and the other two.
Hyuga Kagami lay limp on the ground, trembling all over. Sweat seeped from his body at a visible rate; one could imagine just how immense the pain caused by the activated Cursed Seal was.
Yet Hyuga Kagami clenched his lips tightly and did not utter a single plea for mercy.
Seeing this, Hyuga Kanjin grew even angrier.
He felt that his dignity as a member of the Main Family had been slighted, so he increased the force with which he activated the Cursed Seal.
"Kagami, hurry and beg Young Master Kuanren for mercy."
One of Hyuga Kagami's companions urged him anxiously.
"Young Master Kuanren, please spare Kagami. He already knows he was wrong," another said, kneeling before Hyuga Kanjin to beg.
Around them, the other Branch Family students watched Hyuga Kagami's pained appearance with fear on their faces. The looks they gave Hyuga Kanjin became even more respectful.
"Enough. Hyuga Kagami dared to raise his fist against the Main Family, which is a grave crime. He must be severely punished," said a young man beside Hyuga Kanjin, also from the Hyuga Main Family.
Whoosh!
Hyuga Kanjin's vision blurred as a figure suddenly appeared before him and threw a punch at him.
The punch came with incredible speed. He had no time to dodge and was struck squarely in the chest, sent flying.
Bang!
Hyuga Kanjin crashed heavily to the ground.
That punch also interrupted his continued activation of the Cage Bird Seal.
"Who was that?!"
Hyuga Kanjin sprang up from the ground and shouted angrily.
Then he saw Uchiha Yuan staring coldly at him, along with Senju Gen and Hatake Harukaze helping Hyuga Kagami to his feet.
"Uchiha and Senju, what an unexpected combination."
Hyuga Kanjin's angry gaze swept over Uchiha Yuan and Senju Gen. Seeing the clan crests embroidered on their clothes, he said this.
"What, do you two want to meddle? But this is the Main Family punishing the Branch Family, an internal matter of our Hyuga Clan. It is not for outsiders like you to interfere in."
Hyuga Kagami was supported by Senju Gen and Hatake Harukaze, his entire body limp. He slowly shifted his gaze over them and said weakly, "Senju Gen, Hatake Harukaze, why are you here?"
Senju Gen said, "Kagami, we were just passing by nearby."
Hatake Harukaze said softly, "Kagami, you are very weak right now. Do not speak."
Hyuga Kagami looked ahead, his gaze falling on Uchiha Yuan.
Uchiha Yuan stood with his arms folded, looking arrogantly at Hyuga Kanjin. He snorted coldly. "There are no Uchiha, no Senju, and no Hyuga here. There are only Hyuga Kagami's classmates."
"As his classmates, we cannot stand by and watch him be bullied."
"Hyuga brat, I heard everything you said just now. I am the Uchiha Yuan you look down on.
"Hyuga Kagami cannot defeat me, so let me see whether a young master of the Hyuga Main Family like you can defeat me."
Hyuga Kanjin's expression shifted uncertainly. From that punch just now, he knew that Uchiha Yuan before him was not weak.
After all, he was a child of the Hyuga Main Family and had received elite clan training since childhood. He had a good eye for such things.
He exchanged glances with the other two companions beside him, who were also from the Main Family, then said, "Then let me see what you can do."
Four Sky Palm!
Hyuga Kanjin struck out repeatedly with both palms, four invisible palm forces blasting toward Uchiha Yuan at once.
Uchiha Yuan threw out both fists like dragons, meeting the four invisible palm forces head-on.
Bang!
A muffled boom sounded, and the invisible palm forces shattered into a gust of wind.
Almost at the same moment, Hyuga Kanjin had already closed in, rushing before Uchiha Yuan.
Eight Trigrams—Sixty-Four Palms.
Palm winds enveloped Uchiha Yuan as a dense barrage of slapping strikes rang out.
Several breaths later, the strikes ceased. Hyuga Kanjin leaped backward, retreating. Veins bulged around his eyes as he activated his Byakugan and stared at Uchiha Yuan.
At that moment, the ground beneath Uchiha Yuan's feet suddenly cracked apart.
The next instant, his figure flashed and vanished from where he stood.
Body Flicker Technique.
Hyuga Kanjin's heart tightened. His Byakugan scanned in all directions, then he turned and slammed out a palm.
Boom!
Powerful air currents surged everywhere as Uchiha Yuan's fist struck into Hyuga Kanjin's palm.
Hyuga Kanjin's expression suddenly changed, and he staggered several steps backward.
At the same time, the sleeve on the arm he had used to strike was instantly torn apart by an invisible force.
"Kuanren!"
A Hyuga Main Family student hurriedly leaped forward and caught Hyuga Kanjin.
Another shouted, "Everyone, attack together!"
Then he charged toward Uchiha Yuan.
Seeing Uchiha Yuan being surrounded by the Hyuga students, Senju Gen pushed off the ground and leaped into the air. He flipped once before landing beside Uchiha Yuan, throwing a punch at a Hyuga student.
Senju Gen darted and leaped, rising and falling as he continuously threw punches, struck with his palms, and kicked. Before long, all the Hyuga students around him were lying on the ground.
Then he turned to look at Uchiha Yuan, and his expression changed slightly.
Uchiha Yuan had not moved from his spot, while several Hyuga students were piled into a heap before him.
Hyuga Kanjin's expression was extremely ugly. He had seen it all just now; when facing the Hyuga group's assault, Uchiha Yuan had moved so quickly that he could not see clearly at all.
Uchiha Yuan seemed to have merely raised a hand, and then those Hyuga students had flown backward one after another, stacking neatly together.
Uchiha Yuan gave Hyuga Kanjin a mocking smile. "It seems your strength is no more than this. Too weak. Looks like the Hyuga Main Family is nothing special after all."
The veins at the corners of Hyuga Kanjin's eyes bulged as he glared at Uchiha Yuan, unable to hide the hatred on his face.
Finally, after a stretch of silence, he turned and left without a word.
"Hey, Hyuga Kagami is our classmate. I do not want to see you bullying him again."
After Hyuga Kanjin had taken several steps, Senju Gen suddenly called out to stop him.
Hyuga Kanjin merely snorted coldly and continued away at a brisk pace.
