"You lying brat. I'll make your life a living hell," Jiang Zan suddenly rushed towards Yuan Ye. At the same time, his palm formed a claw, with a faint cyan light flashing, and directly clawed at Yuan Ye's heart. It was the same move he used to kill Liao Ai before. "Damn you. You start with a killing move right away," Yuan Ye cursed harshly. At the same time, each of his hands created several afterimages, clawing, patting, flicking, blocking, picking, and lifting, engaging in close - combat attacks with Jiang Zan. Yuan Ye had fought with magical beasts in the Beast Realm, always using close - combat with fists and feet. His close - combat strength was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Jiang Zan's strength, however, lay in his sword. Now, in order to show off his power, Jiang Zan didn't use his weapon, which was like using his weakness to attack the enemy's strength. The afterimages of the two quickly intertwined in the air. Each intersection was accompanied by explosive sounds. After continuous energy impacts, the entire battle platform finally completely collapsed under the bombardment of Yuan Ye and Jiang Zan. "Ha ha ha, come on!" Suddenly, Yuan Ye's wild laughter came from within the two afterimages. Then the afterimages changed. "Bang! Bang! Bang..." Terrible muffled sounds rang out like raindrops in a torrential rain. With the transmission of these sounds, even streams of blood spurted out from the afterimages. "Oh, this little one is smart. He's competing with that little brat to see who can endure more," outside the battlefield, Murong Qiang nodded in praise. Rui Xi beside him, however, clenched her fists and watched the battlefield nervously. The little rascal also squatted on the ground and stopped running around. "Boom!" After a violent exchange of blows, Yuan Ye and Jiang Zan both recoiled simultaneously. Yuan Ye's hair was disheveled, his face was livid, and there was a faint trace of blood on his left shoulder. Jiang Zan on the other side was in an even worse state. His left eye was blackened like a panda's, and there were no less than twenty bleeding wounds all over his body. "Damn thing. You actually used your strongest close - combat against my weakest close - combat," Jiang Zan roared in great dissatisfaction. Being beaten like this, although they were all external wounds and didn't harm his foundation, his image was completely ruined. Jiang Zan never expected Yuan Ye's close - combat ability to be so strong. Originally, the Six - Strike of Death was Yuan Ye's trump card in the Beast Realm. But when facing humans, his close - combat ability was even more terrifying than the Six - Strike of Death. Because his close - combat ability was stronger than that of magical beasts of the same level, and human close - combat was far inferior to that of magical beasts. It's just that which human expert doesn't have a weapon? Once they have a weapon and fully display their swordsmanship, with auras crisscrossing, how could they give him a chance for close - combat? Coincidentally, today Yuan Ye met someone who was showing off. And this person was showing off to him. "Enough, enough. You were showing off and didn't use your sword. Do you think you're as cool as me? Idiot," Yuan Ye sneered indifferently. "I'll kill you right now!" Jiang Zan roared and suddenly rushed forward. At the same time, the full - moon scimitar appeared in his hand again. "Aren't you not using weapons? Oh - " The onlookers below immediately started jeering. After all, Yuan Ye was representing Hun Luo Province to teach him a lesson, and they were all on Yuan Ye's side. "Dare to laugh at me!" Jiang Zan looked at Yuan Ye with a ferocious expression. "Die! One - hit kill. Heaven - bestowed - Moon Annihilation!" Suddenly, Jiang Zan burst out with dazzling cyan light. His movement technique, strength, and reaction speed instantly increased several times. At the same time, he threw the full - moon scimitar directly, but the moment he threw it, the scimitar disappeared mysteriously. With his speed and strength increasing several times, Yuan Ye had no time to consider the disappeared full - moon scimitar. He just suddenly used the Six - Strike of Death. "Boom! Boom..." After only two kicks, Yuan Ye was forced back by Jiang Zan's powerful aura. At the same time, he suddenly felt a fierce gale whistling behind him. The speed was too fast. Facing this sudden change, Yuan Ye couldn't react in time and only slightly shifted his body. "Swish", the disappeared full - moon scimitar slashed across Yuan Ye's back. This full - moon scimitar was extremely sharp. It cut through Yuan Ye's back bones and the sword aura even damaged his internal organs. "Damn it! You played dirty!" Yuan Ye couldn't help but curse secretly. At the same time, he quickly tore his clothes and simply bandaged the wound, preparing to fight again. "Do you think you can win just because you got some advantage in close - combat? Naive. As long as I use my aura and swordsmanship, what resistance do you have?" Jiang Zan looked at Yuan Ye arrogantly. "This time, I won't let you escape!" "Escape your ass!" Yuan Ye suddenly stood up and also drew the new sword refined by Murong Qiang for him. "Oh? You're giving up your strongest close - combat and want to fight me with a sword? I tell you, my strongest skill is swordsmanship. You'll die faster if you play this game with me." "I'll call you big brother, okay? Which of your ancestors told you that my strongest skill is close - combat!" Yuan Ye was really defeated by Jiang Zan's self - righteousness. Immediately, he said, "I used to be the strongest in close - combat, young master. But now, if you're unarmed, I'll be unarmed. If you use a weapon, I'll use a sword too. I'll defeat you honorably." At the same time as he said this, Yuan Ye pointed his sword at the sky, and a powerful momentum spread. "The First Sealing Demons Sword - Lesser Yang!" Instantly, the brilliant golden light enveloped Yuan Ye. Yuan Ye turned into a meteor and attacked Jiang Zan. "A brat less than a Wu Jun wants to kill a Martial Emperor. I'll let you see how naive you are. Heaven - bestowed - Moon Concealment!" Jiang Zan's body suddenly became blurred. At the same time, his full - moon scimitar once again split into three and attacked Yuan Ye from three directions. Yuan Ye was once again facing the three mysterious scimitars and Jiang Zan himself at the same time. This time, Yuan Ye was still at a great disadvantage. The strength of Jiang Zan, the Martial Emperor, was far greater than before. He could still resist the close - range attacks. After all, he had been tempered in the Beast Realm, and his physical defense had been constantly cultivated. Although he had just started weapon - refining - body - refining, it was still better than Jiang Zan who hadn't refined at all. However, once it came to the orthodox human - to - human battle, the weakness of his lower level was immediately apparent. In addition, Jiang Zan's full - moon scimitar could mysteriously split into four. Three of them flew to assassinate, and one was in his hand for attack. It was really too strange. Yuan Ye could only try his best to avoid Jiang Zan's terrifying attacks. As for the three full - moon scimitars, he had no time to attend to them. During the few moments of the battle, Yuan Ye's body had been slashed dozens of times by the three full - moon scimitars. He was bleeding all over and looked extremely terrifying. Fortunately, although Yuan Ye couldn't avoid the attacks of these scimitars, he also tried his best to avoid vital parts. These injuries were all superficial, and they were not as serious as outsiders thought. While Yuan Ye was struggling hard on the battlefield, the people below were also extremely shocked. At this time, Cen Sen, who had slowly regained his breath, watched Yuan Ye fighting hard against Jiang Zan on the battlefield, feeling extremely guilty. Beside him, the prince of Shangdu County had been looking at him with concern. As a Wu Jun - level expert and a favorite to win the championship, Cen Sen was highly regarded by the prince of Shangdu County. "Prince, Jiang Zan has insulted our Hun Luo Province so much. Originally, I should have regained our honor for us, but now I'm lying here, watching a man under twenty fighting to the death with him. I've disgraced Shangdu County and even more so, Hun Luo Province." "Alas, a Martial Emperor is not someone you can defeat. Don't blame yourself too much. Your cultivation path has been too smooth. You've always been the top in the county. I hope this time can change your state of mind. You should know that there is always someone better," the prince of Shangdu County sighed. Cen Sen watched Yuan Ye being defeated step by step on the battlefield, with more and more wounds on his body, and his veins bulged. "Well done. Even if your blood runs dry, you'll never bow your head. This is the true nature of our generation. If you die today, I swear that I'll cultivate hard for ten years to avenge you!" When the prince of Shangdu County heard this, he smiled and said, "Yes. You mustn't give up. This time, you're at least the second in Hun Luo Province. Then you'll be eligible to compete for the top hundred in Yaoyan Prefecture. Although our Hun Luo Province is weak, the second place can't even fail to enter the top hundred. As long as you're in the top hundred of Yaoyan Prefecture, you can enter the City of Hope. Then there will be plenty of opportunities to spread your wings and fly high." On the other side of the battle platform, the little witch Xu Ying and the others were also watching the battlefield nervously. "Oh no. The rascal is going to die. Why does that guy's sword keep flying and not fall," the little witch frowned tightly. "His sword returns to Jiang Zan's hand for an instant each time. During this instant, Jiang Zan injects more powerful force and attacks again. So it can keep attacking Yuan. But Yuan is already very strong. Last time when he faced Cheng Hui, without the last strange move, he had no resistance at all. But this time, facing the more powerful Jiang Zan, he can hold on for so long. It's only been five months. Yuan's strength improvement speed is really terrifying," Xu Zijing also said with great admiration.
