Ye Yiyun gritted his teeth as he looked at Hao Jian.
Thinking to himself, damn it, you're just a person who's about to die, and still pretending in front of me, watch me finish you off.
With that thought, he once again lifted his sword towards Hao Jian, but this time Hao Jian did not dodge, he simply let it happen. And so, when the tip of the sword was about to pierce Hao Jian, he suddenly changed his mind, placing the sword on Hao Jian's neck, the blade facing him, giving off an impression that if he moved, he'd be ended.
Hao Jian showed no reaction, allowing Ye Yiyun to proceed.
At this moment, Ye Yiyun looked at Hao Jian, and arrogantly said, "What's the matter, scared? But your Master Yun is always kind-hearted, and this time I can generously spare your life. You just need to kneel down and lick my shoes clean, then bark like a dog several times, and if you beg your Master Yun for mercy, I might spare you!"
Ye Yiyun laughed heartily while looking at Hao Jian, although he spoke these words, in fact, he just wanted to humiliate Hao Jian. Once the humiliation was over, he would still kill Hao Jian; this was his usual style — before killing someone, he would thoroughly humiliate them, otherwise, killing wouldn't make sense.
He especially enjoyed seeing a person's eager eyes full of desire to live, and seeing a person who was originally dignified and proud do anything he wanted them to do. This gave him a delightful feeling, a sense of controlling the whole world.
Hao Jian didn't speak, but he smiled.
Ye Yiyun suddenly became furious, "You're about to die at my hands, and you're still pretending? I'll show you who's boss."
Thinking this, he lifted his foot and fiercely kicked towards Hao Jian. But as soon as he raised his foot, it was stomped down hard by Hao Jian, crushing it so forcefully it felt as if his toes were about to be crippled.
Furious, he wanted to slash the sword to finish off Hao Jian, but just as he had this thought, the sword that was in his hand ended up in Hao Jian's hand.
In an instant, his expression changed.
"Damn, wasn't he injured? How can he still possess such strength after being injured?"
Yet, before he could think further, Hao Jian kicked him harshly, sending him flying and heavily crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
At this moment, Hao Jian had already stood up, picked up Ye Yiyun's longsword, and was walking towards Ye Yiyun.
But at this point, Liu Yu suddenly broke away from Ma Xiaopeng and Zhou Xiaoshan's attack, swiftly dashed in front of Ye Yiyun, and shouted, "Quick, retreat!"
Ye Yiyun immediately climbed up and hurriedly retreated several steps, exiting the fight.
However, at this time, Hao Jian had already engaged with Liu Yu.
Actually, Hao Jian didn't want to fight because he was still injured, especially with internal injuries; fighting would inevitably cause further damage. Although his wounds had almost healed, they might worsen again. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to fight.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have left Ma Xiaopeng and the others there; he knew Ye Yiyun's personality, already having sent people to assassinate him before, this time with him seriously injured, he wouldn't miss this opportunity.
That's why Hao Jian was desperately healing himself.
And that's why he kept Ma Xiaopeng and the others to defend against potential assassination attempts by Ye Yiyun.
But now that it had come to this, he had no choice but to act.
"Clang!"
Liu Yu engaged with Hao Jian; Hao Jian delivered a blow that made Liu Yu repeatedly retreat.
This time, Liu Yu's face couldn't help but show surprise; he knew Hao Jian had suffered injuries this morning, but why could he still unleash such power after being injured? He didn't believe Hao Jian could recover so quickly. Even in his prime, Hao Jian wasn't supposed to be stronger than him, but now, while injured, he possessed such terrifying strength.
Although it was just one move, he could feel Hao Jian's terrifying power from it.
Ma Xiaopeng and Zhou Xiaoshan both showed surprise as well; who were they? The leaders of their sect, naturally strong, yet even they could only fight Liu Yu to a draw. But Hao Jian had made Liu Yu retreat several steps with just one sword.
And who was Liu Yu? The Great Elder of Tianwang Fort, second only to its Sect Master. Yet, Hao Jian managed to make him retreat several steps with a single sword strike.
They couldn't help but revise their understanding of Hao Jian.
At this point, Guan Haoyang and Luo Fan opened up space for Liu Sha and Yu Jin, who came over and supported the retreating, nearly falling Liu Yu.
Guan Haoyang said, "Elder Liu, are you alright!"
Liu Yu stood up again, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine!"
Then Liu Sha and Yu Jin jumped back, closed the door, blocking their retreat, and guarded the door with their swords in hand, watching over them.
Zhou Xiaoshan and Ma Xiaopeng stood in front of them, surrounding them completely, leaving them with no escape.
At this time, Liu Yu had already noticed the change in power dynamics between the two sides. If earlier he was confident he could wipe out everyone and then kill Hao Jian, it was because he hadn't considered Hao Jian as a significant factor. But now that Hao Jian had made his move, Liu Yu had to reassess the balance of strength between enemies and allies once again.
The power Hao Jian unleashed was beyond Liu Yu's imagination. Suddenly, the situation had changed. They were no longer in an advantageous position; instead, it was now Hao Jian's side that held the upper hand.
Liu Yu lowered his sword, smiled slightly, and said, "Perhaps there's still a chance for a turnaround. If you lay down your weapons and stop fighting now, we might be able to shake hands and cooperate with each other!"
If Liu Yu had said this earlier, Ma Xiaopeng, Zhou Xiaoshan, and the other four might have given him some leeway. But now, even a fool could see the situation. Harsh words had already been spoken. Seeing things not go their way now, who would possibly listen to him?
"Ridiculous!" Ma Xiaopeng sneered, "I originally thought Tianwang Fort was formidable, but you turned out to be no more than cowards. When you can't win, you retreat. Aren't you ashamed to say such things? It's utterly shameless!"
Liu Sha chimed in, "Hmph! I've seen shameless people, but never someone as shameless as you. I reckon everyone in Tianwang Fort is probably shameless."
"You..." Guan Haoyang couldn't stand hearing such words and was about to react.
Liu Yu, however, stopped Guan Haoyang and said, "Don't take things too far. We'll meet again someday, and if we leave some room in our words, it won't be awkward the next time we meet!"
Ma Xiaopeng, being the impulsive type, was about to speak, but Hao Jian stopped him and then looked at Liu Yu, saying, "Do you think there will be a chance to meet again in the future? Did I ever say I would let you go?"
These words were brimming with momentum.
Ma Xiaopeng couldn't help but say, "Yeah, did we ever say we'd let you leave? Utterly shameless!"
Under normal circumstances, they certainly wouldn't confront people from Tianwang Fort so directly, let alone the Great Elder Liu Yu. But things were different now. They had been bullied by people from Tianwang Fort frequently in the past, harboring a lot of resentment. After this fight, their temper couldn't be held back any longer, and they just wanted to give them a good beating to see.
Given the situation, sometimes one must endure, but sometimes it's impossible to do so. Is this the kind of situation where one should endure?
After all, a true man doesn't fear death. If worst comes to worst, then so be it!
"You..."
Liu Yu was also finding it difficult to control himself. As the Great Elder of Tianwang Fort all these years, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this. He was gritting his teeth, trying to curb his temper.
"You, you... What are you, you motherf**ker! If you have the guts, then let's fight!" Liu Sha said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu finally lost his temper and said, "Damn it, get them!"
With that, Liu Yu led Guan Haoyang and Luo Fan, brandishing swords, as Ye Yiyun followed behind, ready for a big showdown!
Ma Xiaopeng, Zhou Xiaoshan, Liu Sha, and Yu Jin were ready to fight, but Hao Jian stopped them.
Hao Jian calmly said, "Don't act rashly. Just make sure they don't run away!"
Ma Xiaopeng and the others were surprised as they watched Hao Jian, but they felt that he indeed had the ability to back up his words, so the four of them sheathed their swords and guarded the key positions, not allowing Liu Yu and his men to escape.
Hao Jian wielded his sword and walked toward Liu Yu.
After the previous sword clash, Liu Yu didn't have much confidence facing Hao Jian now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those words to seek peace, as that wasn't his nature.
But the opponent had already approached, and with the retreat blocked, there was no choice but to face him.
Before Liu Yu could prepare to fight, Guan Haoyang, who was standing behind him, charged out and said, "Elder Liu, step aside, let me take care of this kid!"
In his mind, Hao Jian was just a greenhorn. How powerful could a young lad be? So, with a surge of momentum, he swung his sword at Hao Jian.
As Ma Xiaopeng, Zhou Xiaoshan, and the others broke out in a cold sweat for Hao Jian, Hao Jian remained calm and composed, raising his sword effortlessly.
"Ding!"
Guan Haoyang's strike was instantly parried by Hao Jian.
When they looked again, Hao Jian stood unharmed in his spot, while Guan Haoyang's longsword was severed into two parts, one on the ground and the other in his hand.
"This..."
Guan Haoyang looked on in astonishment at the whole scene.
What on earth had just happened? That strike was supposed to cleave Hao Jian in half, yet how did Hao Jian dodge and block it?
And how did his sword get broken?
