Prey
“Junior Brother Gongsun, are you alright!?”
Seeing Gongsun Hong sent flying by a single saber attack, the tall and short duo rushed over to check on Gongsun Hong’s condition.
Gongsun Hong was actually not seriously injured, but he looked terrible. Yi Yun’s saber beam was too sharp, so Gongsun Hong’s white robe was turned to shreds from his collar to his crotch. It was to the point that if he did not hold on to his robe, he would have exposed himself when standing up.
When many of the female disciples saw this scene, they felt embarrassed and subconsciously turned away.
Gongsun Hong’s face flushed like a pig’s liver! If Yi Yun’s saber had focused its attention at the spot between his legs, Gongsun Hong may not have been left impotent, but his lifeblood would have been injured. When that happened, he would become famous in the Martial Alliance.
“You… you… ”
Gongsun Hong gritted his teeth and looked at Yi Yun, but Yi Yun had a ‘none of my business’ look on his face. This made Gongsun Hong speechless as he stared.
In a fair fight, losing just meant that you were inferior. He could not seek revenge on Yi Yun as a result.
Yi Yun hurriedly said, “Junior Brother Gongsun, are you alright? I noticed how powerful your attack was and how gorgeous it was, it was something I could not resist. So I slashed out madly with all I had. I never expected Junior Brother Gongsun to deliberately efface yourself. I never expected you to be hit by the saber beam, resulting in such a situation.” Yi Yun said in a sincere fashion. Gongsun Hong’s intestines twisted together when he heard the phrase ‘deliberately efface’.
He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s not deliberately effacing, but I used a move I was not familiar with just now. I only mastered a tiny portion of that Heretic God’s 36 Swords move. I was too careless. Let us have another go. I will use my most powerful combat strength!” Gongsun Hong said with his face flushed.
Many geniuses, who were watching by the sidelines, began to despise him. In a fight between warriors, defeat meant defeat. How did being careless matter? Are you going to say that you were careless when you died while out exploring mystic realms after encountering dangers? Would you be revived as a result?
However, since this was the Martial Alliance’s territory, Gongsun Hong represented the Martial Alliance’s Heavenly Blood Union, so it was not appropriate for them to say it out loud.
“Heavenly Blood Union members do not seem as strong as expected.”
“Ancient heritage may be good, but it all depends on yourself on how well you can cultivate it.”
“Right… I think we still need to seriously consider it. The ancient heritage are cultivation techniques from tens of millions of years ago after all. It might not be the case that it is compatible with the present martial arts system… ”
Many people began having such thoughts.
Many things in this world were decided based on the results of success or failure. Their decision to join the Heavenly Blood Union would not be affected as a result of Yi Yun defeating Gongsun Hong, but at least, upon seeing Yi Yun’s strength, it had calmed these geniuses down. They would ponder over it more as they weighed the advantages and disadvantages of binding themselves to a soul contract.
Not entering the Heavenly Blood Union did not mean that they would be inferior to those from the Heavenly Blood Union!
“Another time?”
Upon hearing Gongsun Hong’s words, Yi Yun was stunned and he was a bit hesitant. It was as if he did not have any confidence battling Gongsun Hong a second time. He touched his saber and said, “If Junior Brother Gongsun wants another round, I can wait for you. But until then… ”
Yi Yun paused upon saying this as he glanced at Gongsun Hong’s embarrassing state. He said in awkwardly, “Why doesn’t Junior Brother Gongsun change his clothes first?”
The moment Yi Yun said that, a female disciple could not help but laugh.
Gongsun Hong’s face was so red that one would think that he was bleeding. Ever since he came out of the Great Empress mystic realm, this was the most shameful day he had experienced!
He gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t be smug… My second attack will use all my strength!”
Gongsun Hong was indignant. Just as he wanted to battle Yi Yun again, a cold voice suddenly echoed.
“Enough, you have already lost!”
This voice reverberated strongly causing the frolicking atmosphere to cool down immediately.
With everyone shutting up immediately, they all turned to look over. The person who spoke was the masked man.
The masked man looked at Yi Yun, but his cold and unchanging mask did not reveal a single expression.
Yi Yun looked right into the masked man’s eyes calmly. He was not afraid of him.
“You… are really not bad!”
