Chapter 21: Why Is There a Timeout During a Fight?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Which hand to take on…”

When Ye Yi heard this, his face darkened and he almost cracked all his teeth while seething. His eyes seemed to be spitting fire. “How dare you… how dare you humiliate me like this!”

“Even Bai Canghai doesn’t dare to do this. How dare you!”

“Sigh, why is it so tiring to talk to people?”

Feng Xia could not help but shake his head secretly when he saw Ye Yi gritting his teeth and looking like he wanted to eat Feng Xia alive.

Ye Yi’s cultivation might be on par with Bai Canghai, but in terms of calmness and shrewdness, Bai Canghai was clearly on a higher level than Ye Yi.

“Why would that Sixth Elder accept this fellow as his legacy disciple?”

Many assumptions instantly appeared in Feng Xia’s mind—the kind with which he could write a novel of at least 1.5 million words.

What a miserable Ye Yi.

After some thought, Feng Xia retracted his hands and said earnestly, “I actually have no intention of humiliating you. I’m just stating a fact—”

He paused slightly before continuing, enunciating each word clearly. “You can’t even win one of my hands.”

Ye Yi’s features twisted fiercely together again. “…”

Before the commotion around them could spread further, Feng Xia’s lips had already curled upwards. He looked around calmly and said, “Of course, I also know that some of you don’t like me very much and even want to find trouble with me either openly or secretly…”

There was a small stir in the crowd around them.

“Good thing this guy knows his place!”

There was a murmur coming from the crowd.

Most of the people felt that the reason for this entire series of farces was inseparable from the unexpected guest, Feng Xia.

The fact that Bai Canghai failed his mission and wanted to leave the sect to escape punishment, it might have been because he was bewitched by Feng Xia!

—When people encountered something that they could not understand, they tended to try and find a plausible explanation from whatever they already knew.

If they really could not find it, they could still push the blame to the universe.

“So, I welcome any challenge.”

A smile appeared on Feng Xia’s lips as he read out the lines that he had prepared earlier. “I’ll control my strength as best I can so I don’t accidentally kill any of you.”

Wow—

The crowd suddenly erupted.

Bai Canghai was dumbfounded. “Isn’t… this too… arrogant?”

Bai Canghai’s impression of Feng Xia was that although he was powerful, he was still quite approachable. It was unlike Feng Xia to provoke so many disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley so arrogantly!

If even Bai Canghai felt this way, how would the others feel?

“Hey Feng, don’t be too arrogant.”

“Brother Ye Yi is injured and can’t fight. Today, I’ll fight you in his place!”

Almost immediately, someone stepped forward.

Feng Xia sized up this person with interest. The other party was about the same age as Bai Canghai, but taller. He was dressed in purple clothes with silver edging and there was a faint arrogance in his eyes that ordinary people did not have.

Feng Xia would definitely not be able to see that not so long ago.

“The Sword-Heart Integration can reflect true intentions. Not only can you look within yourself, but you can also look within others.”

Feng Xia started to vaguely understand what it meant.

This was naturally one of the wonderful uses of the Sword-Heart!

“Fifth Elder’s personal disciple, Mo Yushu, is willing to fight you today. Let’s fight to the death.”

The purple-robed youth named Mo Yushu said coldly, “Do you… dare to accept my challenge?”

Seeing that the person who stepped forward was Mo Yushu, Ye Yi could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

He glanced secretly at Bai Canghai and deliberately said to the people next to him, “Fifth Elder and my Master are like birds of a feather. Brother Mo is the elder’s personal disciple and his cultivation is not weaker than mine. In addition, Brother Mo comes from that place and has endless treasures. Even Bai Canghai might not be his match.”

“I think he can defeat that guy in less than 10 rounds.”

Ye Yi did not lower his voice on purpose. In the next moment, he saw Bai Canghai’s expression change slightly.

“Be careful—” Bai Canghai shouted.

“Heh, what’s there to be careful about?” Ye Yi immediately pursed his lips and sneered. “Bai Canghai, oh, Bai Canghai. It’s not that I want to criticize you, but this guy initiated the challenge himself. Even if he regrets it now, it’s already…”

“Brother Mo, you must be careful! Take out all your treasures to defend—”

Ye Yi was stunned when he heard the worried tone. He almost thought that he was hallucinating—

Bai Canghai, are you reminding the wrong person?!

“I accept your challenge.”

Before Ye Yi could think further, Feng Xia took a step forward and pressed his palm towards Mo Yushu!

When Mo Yushu felt the change in the air, he could not help his vital energy from erupting. He activated all his power and transformed into shadows of flying dragons to resist this sudden palm strike.

“What a lad! How dare you secretly…”

Halfway through his sentence, Mo Yushu’s expression changed drastically.

As soon as they came into contact, the pure vital energy that he was so proud of was instantly defeated. All the dragon shadows were destroyed and dissipated. There was also an unstoppable backlash that swept at him like a mountain range that was falling, as if it was going to completely suppress him!

“No way!”

At the critical moment, Mo Yushu shouted. A Heart Protection Mirror on his chest lit up with a hazy light, turning into a protective light screen. At the same time, three talismans slipped out of his sleeve and ignited one after another, causing the surrounding spiritual energy in the world to move violently with a roar!

Bang—

The next moment.

The Heart Protection Mirror shattered with a bang while the palm still continued to press down heavily. It instantly suppressed the three talismans, passed through the explosive spiritual energy and landed on Mo Yushu’s chest!

“Ah—”

There was a loud cry of pain and Mo Yushu was stunned for a moment. However, there was no pain in his chest and he opened his eyes in disbelief.

Feng Xia’s palm had stopped right in front of his chest.

Mo Yushu turned around and was shocked to see that the person who screamed earlier was actually Ye Yi!

“Y-y-you…”

Ye Yi covered his swollen face with one hand and stared at the girl in black almost in a state of frenzy. “Why did you hit me again?!”

Zhu Youniang glanced at him strangely. “Because your prediction is completely wrong. You bragged so much about this guy, but in the end, he couldn’t even block off the palm. Is it unfair for you to get slapped?”

Ye Yi: “…???”

At this moment, the air seemed exceptionally quiet.

At the same time, Feng Xia retracted his gaze. A voice that only he could hear sounded in his ears. “Fellow practitioner Feng, as long as there are no serious casualties, I will bear the responsibility of any problems that arise.”

“I’m relieved to hear that.”

Feng Xia nodded slightly and revealed a bright smile. “Mo Yushu, right? I was distracted just now. Come, let me give you my palm again…”

Mo Yushu dropped his jaw.

“Huh?”
