Chapter Twenty-Six: Defeated

  After hearing the words of the inn owner, Kaxiu and Kari were both shocked, and a hint of doubt also appeared in their minds. According to their understanding, that Huayun Master seemed to be a healer? How could there be mercenaries looking for him to duel?

  But at this moment, Kass and Kari couldn't care about that anymore. The hope was right in front of them, and if Master Huayun were to get into trouble in the duel with the mercenary in their presence, even if Young Master and Sir were willing to forgive themselves, they wouldn't be able to forgive their own dereliction of duty.

  "Thinking of this, Katsu immediately said to Lokuun: 'Young master, let's go out and take a look!'"

  "Hmm!" Lok'yun nodded his head, a smile on his face as he muttered to himself: "A duel with mercenaries? Heh heh, this Huayun Master is really interesting."

  When they squeezed their way to the front of the crowd in Luokou, Hua Yun and Ji Wan's battle had already begun.

  Facing Hua Yun, although Ji Wan thought that Hua Yun's strength was not worth mentioning, as a qualified mercenary and the leader of the Crazy Wolf Mercenary Corps, the number one mercenary organization in Kodo Town, he had never had the habit of underestimating his enemies.

  A giant sword in hand, the swift and fierce blade creates a series of powerful gusts in the air, as the golden aura on the sword reveals its immense destructive power, attacking Huayun continuously.

  After eating the bitter Todd, Huayun naturally concentrated his mind to respond. The water attribute force in his body quickly circulated, and a strong property force was immediately infused into the slender sword in his hand.

  "Bang bang bang......"

  Continuous pounding sounds came, the atmosphere was tense and oppressive all around, the crowd of onlookers surrounding them involuntarily retreated two steps under such intense pressure.

  Ji Wan indeed lived up to his reputation as a 6th rank Golden Warrior. Facing Ji Wan's attack, Hua Yun was secretly shocked in her heart. She had originally thought that although a 6th rank Golden Warrior would be stronger than a 5th rank White Silver Warrior, Ji Wan had only just recently advanced to become a 6th rank Golden Warrior, so his strength shouldn't be too exaggerated. But she hadn't expected him to be this strong.

  Not to mention the destructive power of Golden Chi, which is much more powerful than Silver Chi, but even just in terms of speed, Kiwon's speed far surpasses that of Lohan and the others. If it weren't for his clever technique, using borrowed force to strike back, agile footwork, and the Light Body Technique, he might have been defeated by Kiwon from the very beginning.

  Fortunately, his own Wuji Xuan Gong had already reached the third layer, and he could release his energy externally, pouring the power of attributes into the slender sword in his hand. Otherwise, facing Ji Wan's destructive and powerful golden Dou Qi, he really didn't know what to do.

  In ancient times, martial arts masters with internal power could turn wet rags into rods and soft hair into steel needles. As long as they infused their internal power into the objects in their hands, wet cloth strips could be swung into long rods, and soft hair could become steel needles, making them invincible and extremely powerful.

  Compared to Hua Yun's astonishment, Ji Wan was even more shocked. Fortunately, he had not underestimated his opponent earlier and did not expect the black-haired youth's strength to be so formidable. The slender sword in his hand showed no signs of breaking under the continuous blows from his massive sword. To think that even if Luo En were holding the slender sword, with his white silver aura, it would still shatter under Ji Wan's golden aura attack.

  For a time, Hua Yun and Ji Wan were evenly matched in the arena, neither able to gain the upper hand.

  Luo Kun and the other two came forward, heard Baluo say that Master Hua Yun was a black-haired and black-eyed person. The three of them naturally recognized at once the person fighting in the center of the crowd, who was Hua Yun.

  "Huh!" As soon as they saw Hua Yun, Lokuen and the others' faces all showed a hint of surprise. They hadn't expected that this Plant Master, who was even praised by the 4th rank Palace Court Plant Master Saha, would be so young.

  However, what surprised them even more was that Huayun's opponent was actually a 6th rank Golden Warrior. The three of them were momentarily stunned. Although Master Zhi's status on the Ailen continent was indeed very high, when did his combat power become comparable to that of a 6th rank Golden Warrior?

  Even with the family's flame fighting spirit, Lokuen, who has reached the peak of a 5th rank white silver warrior, basically has no chance of winning against a 6th rank golden warrior.

  Especially Hua Yun's agile movements and exquisite techniques, oh heavens, even the sword saint of Haiton might not have such refined skills!

  Moreover, with his Flame Fighting Spirit, Lokoun could sense that the slender sword in Huayun's hand possessed a Water Attribute power, which allowed him to counter Kiwane's Golden Fighting Spirit attack without falling into disadvantage.

  How could a cultivator have such formidable power? Or perhaps he wasn't actually Master Huayun?

  No, no, Lokuen shook his head. The black-haired and black-eyed person had never seen himself before, but with his eyesight, he could naturally discover that the only person in the entire surroundings who was fighting in the arena was also black-haired and black-eyed, absolutely Huayun Master, there was no mistake.

  It's strange, really too strange.

  At the same time as being puzzled in his heart, a thread of excitement flashed through Lokuen's mind. In the royal city, he had been called a genius since childhood, and everyone who saw him would talk about it nonstop, which was annoying to death. Looking at Hua Yun in front of him, haha, Lokuen's heart was slightly jealous, but more excited.

  The so-called internal family looks at the doorway, and the external family looks at the excitement. Luo Kuen and Ka Xi, Ka Li, they can see the special place of Hua Yun's strength, while other mercenaries around can only see that Hua Yun's strength is not weak, and can actually support such a long time with Ji Wan.

  Even Ron and Bosa couldn't see how Hua Yun managed to withstand Kiwan's stormy attacks for so long without being defeated.

  Just as everyone was watching with their eyes wide open and their hearts racing, the situation in the arena began to change.

  Ji Wan, no matter how strong he was, had only become a Golden Warrior two days ago. The White Silver Qi in his body had just transformed into Golden Qi, and although his power was undiminished, the quantity was clearly insufficient.

  Originally, in his plan, he thought it was a sure win to take on the Lihuo Mercenary Group with his own strength, but he didn't expect that the black-haired youth who emerged from the Lihuo Mercenary Group would have such formidable strength, which left Ji Wan somewhat despairing.

  With Hua Yun's strength, he could naturally feel the changes in Ji Wan's body, finding the moment when Ji Wan's attack was about to lose power. His figure suddenly burst forth, his slender sword shaking continuously, transforming into a myriad of rays of light that rapidly struck at various vital points on Ji Wan's body.

  This move, "Starry Sky", is a technique that combines real and fake moves, making it impossible to distinguish between the two. It was passed down by Huayun's grandfather and is his most powerful skill. As long as the opponent is confused by the flurry of attacks, they will be unable to escape or dodge.

  Seeing the dazzling light in front of him and the sound of energy coming from the air, Ji Wan's heart suddenly panicked, feeling a dizziness in his eyes, a severe pain suddenly came to his right wrist, a strong energy directly penetrated through his wrist, forcing its way into every part of his body.

  If it were normal, the golden aura in Ji Wan's body would naturally be able to withstand this attack, but at this moment, Ji Wan, who had consumed most of his aura, was powerless. His entire right arm went numb, and with a loud clang, the giant sword in his hand fell to the ground.
