Chapter 32 – Trump Card (2/2)

It’s not they didn’t have faith in Ye Zhong, the old and the young Ye’s were worried because they were aware of Du Han Yue’s status as one of the top five youngsters in Green Moon City. They knew that he had real talent to back up the name he made for himself.

The air froze in and around the arena. Ye Zhong was in a long light green robe and Du Han Yue in white. Standing ten meters away from each other exchanging looks, both imagining ways to overpower his opponent.

All eyes were on these two. This was the matchup everyone was here to watch. Talents speak for themselves and there were two of them standing off right here, right now; early on the crowd learned what the stake was during the patriarchs’ verbal exchange. It wasn’t just any fight. The clash of these two geniuses will affect future affairs in Green Moon City and the result of this fight would be as interesting as the fight itself for those who were not present.

“Ye Zhong being a five star Warrior has little effect on the outcome of this fight. Even if he breaks through to six star here and now in front of us, he still won’t be able to beat Han Yue, and that’s a big and impossible if!” The talkative General Zhou couldn’t bare the silence. He smiled as he turned his head towards the two who sat next to him.

“I don’t think anyone who has less than a seven star cultivation will be able to challenge Du Han Yue… Good luck finding someone like that in Green Moon City! Or in the Ye family in this case! Hahaha!” President Dong agreeably nodded.

Du Han Tue came to fame because of a fight six months ago where he beat not one, not two, but three six star Warriors… People have since kept an eye on his development.

“What’s your name again? Ye Zhong right?” Du Yue Ming was getting into the mood to fight. He was feeling pretty confident after hearing praises from the audience’s chatter and the sardonic smile on his pale face reflected just that.

“You guessed it!” Ye Zhong was on the alert. A fight with someone stronger than himself can be over in a matter of seconds. Although he is now a five star Warrior and has mastered a low level Myst stance, he could not reveal the stance before the right moment; the stance has to connect and finish the fight, using it defensively would not help him win the fight against this six star Warrior who stood before him.

“So, I was watching your fight. I counted seventy-eight punches and sixteen kicks. I am here to collect the debt!”

“I will punch you seventy-eight times and kick you sixteen times. I will keep count and won’t stop before we’re even, if it means punching and kicking your corpse, so be it!” Du Han Yue laughed and made the first move. He moved his right foot forward, his white robe and shoulder length hair were flowing in the wind giving off the bloodthirsty aura of a wild beast as he got into a half crouch position.

“You sure talk a lot!” Ye Zhong too moved his right foot forward, dust spread out in a rippling motion when he stomped the ground to show off his strength.

“I will see how long you can stay on your feet!” Du Han Yue said with an impassive expression. He quickly channeled his will-force and Qi, his finger were moving fast, drawing eighty-three runes in no time.

The screen of runes veiled Du Han Yue therefore Ye Zhong lost clear sight of him. There were some movements behind the veil but it was blurry.

“Swoosh! Swoosh Swoosh!”

The veil was transparent on Du Han Yue’s side and he could evaluate where Ye Zhong’s weak spots were, then he injected more Qi into the rune sequence, transforming it into a blood red ancient looking blade.

‘Peak high level Spirit stance, Phantom Ichor Blade!’

Known for its brutal force; this stance was one of the Du family’s most famous weapons.

Du Yue Ming then pointed his finger at one of the weak spots, the phantom blade vibrated and flew towards Ye Zhong’s heart, leaving a crimson trail in the air.

The phantom blade was sharper and more powerful than any mortal blade and it left a tiny ravine wherever it flew.

Ye Zhong knew there was no way to parry this attack and that he was dead if he took it head on.Thus he immediately drew a string of runes and stepped on the wave’s crest and disappeared in a flash. The blade missed him by about three meters.

He knew Spindrift Steps would now be very useful thanks to Ye Wei. If Ye Wei didn’t refine this stance with him, the fight would have been over already.
