Chapter 500: Chapter 264: How Is It Her? [Subscribe Requested]
The first battle was lost, a result that undoubtedly caught the representatives of the three major families by surprise.
So much so that when Li Cunhao returned, both You Liming and Zhou Daoyi felt tremendous pressure.
Li Cunhaoâs defeat meant that both You Jinyan and Zhou Chun now had to win.
Otherwise, they would have no choice but to accept the Su Familyâs demand for an equal split of the profits.
Li Qinghe, who returned with a gloomy expression, also conveyed his concerns through a solemn telepathic message to the two men: âTaoist Friend You, Taoist Friend Zhou, itâs all up to your families now. The Su Family has clearly come prepared; you must instruct the younger generation to be extra cautious!â
âWe understand.â
You Liming and Zhou Daoyi responded, then exchanged glances.
In the end, it was You Liming who spoke first: âLet my You Family take the second match!â
âFine.â
Zhou Daoyi replied tersely, not disputing the issue.
Seeing this, You Liming immediately turned to the younger member of his family, You Jinyan, and instructed: âJinyan, go up and choose your opponent. Be very careful.â
âUnderstood, senior.â
You Jinyan, looking like a middle-aged uncle, acknowledged and quickly leaped forward to face the remaining two Su Family Cultivators.
After scanning for a while between the white-robed female Cultivator with the bamboo hat and the other middle-aged man in red, You Jinyan eventually pointed his finger at the red-robed middle-aged man.
âYou Jinyan of the You Family requests your guidance, Taoist Friend.â
Seeing this, the red-robed middle-aged man looked at You Jinyan with curiosity and asked, âWhy me?â
âBecause I donât want to earn a reputation for bullying a woman!â
You Jinyan answered simply.
Hearing this, Zhou Chun, who had not yet had his match, frowned.
Does this guy know how to speak properly?
Does that mean I, Zhou Chun, am specifically known for bullying women?
The red-robed middle-aged man, upon hearing You Jinyanâs words, just laughed and introduced himself without further question.
âSu Maorong of the Su Family, pleased to learn from you.â
Then, just like the previous match between Li Cunhao and Su Maocai, the two quickly flew to the side and began to fiercely combat each other.
Unlike the previous well-measured attacks, this time, perhaps learning from Li Cunhaoâs lesson, or possibly due to his own combat style, the fight started with You Jinyan launching a fierce attack on Su Maorong.
Like Zhou Chun, he practiced the Metal Element Cultivation Method, but his combat style was quite different from Zhou Chunâs.
With both palms forming seals and incantations, his hands shone with golden light, quickly condensing into a golden beam that barreled towards Su Maorong.
The golden beam moved with extreme speed and was immensely powerful.
The second-tier high-quality Defensive Dharma Artifact shield summoned by Su Maorong was blasted away by that single strike.
After this attack, You Jinyan swiftly brought out a set of three Flying Swords. With his hands moving through the Sword technique, the trio of golden Flying Swords revolved in mid-air towards the opponent like three golden shooting stars, not giving him any chance to breathe.
Seeing the fierce onslaught, Su Maorong hurriedly summoned a fiery red lance to counter one of the incoming golden stars and also brought out a yellow Treasure Bead that emitted a rich yellow spiritual light to protect himself.
But what caused Su Maorongâs expression to change was what happened next.
Once one of the golden stars was blocked by his lance, the other two did not continue towards him but swiftly turned to assist the intercepted sword.
Under the combined siege of the three Flying Swords, his lance was quickly cut down to the ground.
By the time he realized something was wrong and summoned another black and red gourd artifact, the three Flying Swords were already hurtling towards him once more.
Boom!
A surge of black and red flames erupted from the mouth of the gourd in front of Su Maorong, attempting to burn the incoming Flying Swords.
Yet under You Jinyanâs Sword technique control, the three swords instantly scattered across the top, left, and right, avoiding the fiery assault with incredible speed.
After circling, the three swords, flexible like serpents, continued their assault on Su Maorong.
At this point, Su Maorong was out of options and couldnât resort to any other tactics in such a short time.
He could only watch helplessly as the three Flying Swords pierced his Protective Barrier from the front, rear, and above simultaneously.
Boom!
A loud explosion followed, and Su Maorongâs yellow Protective Barrier shattered instantly.
Then, a muffled groan sounded as Su Maorong took a sword strike on each shoulder, and one Flying Sword hovered in front of his forehead, the point less than an inch away.
âTaoist Friend Su, I accept your concession.â
Not far away, You Jinyan looked calmly at Su Maorong and spoke with the composure of the victor.
Hearing this and staring at the sharp Flying Sword in front of him, Su Maorong underwent a change of expression and finally sighed, âTaoist Friend Youâs swordsmanship is admirable. I am impressed.â
No matter what he thought inside, a loss was a loss.
At this point, any excuse about negligence would only provoke laughter and be of no help.
Therefore, after conceding defeat, he first used Mana to seal the wounds on both shoulders, then without a word, he flew back to stand behind Su Renmei and silently began to take an Elixir to heal his injuries.
Meanwhile, Su Renmei just glanced at him and turned her attention to the woman with the bamboo hat, saying, âYuzhen, itâs up to you now.â
