Chapter 550: Chapter 299: One Against Five, One Sword Destroys the Arrogant _1

Xu Yan looked up at a young man dressed in a golden robe who held a long spear. Based on his clothing, it was clear he hailed from Wei Country, one of the Three Kingdoms and Eight Clans.

The Mu Family’s old booklet had an introduction about Wei Country. There were two prodigies produced by the royal family of Wei Country in the present generation, and the one who practiced spear strategies was Wei Yuan.

At the peak of the initial phase of the Refining God Heavenly Man cultivation level, he is half a step away from entering the middle phase. His cultivation level is also extremely stable, and the cultivation technique he practices originates from the Thousand Martial Hall, making him a powerful adversary.

But, even a prodigy who’s merely in the initial phase of the Refining God Heavenly Man level, doesn’t catch Xu Yan’s regard.

Only the legendary spirit-body prodigies would earn his slight respect, and nothing more.

“Xu Yan, you’re too arrogant!”

With the arrival of Wei Yuan, two more formidable figures appeared.

“One each from the Hundred Blades Sect of the Seven Sects, and the Wei family from the Eight Great Families. That should be enough,” Xu Yan muttered under his breath.

Pointing his longsword forward, he said, “You three, come at me at once. Let’s not waste time.”

“Always heard that you, Xu Yan, were arrogant. Today, I finally witness it!”

Wei Yuan commented menacingly.

“Arrogance is the impression ignorant people have of me. I, Xu Yan, have never been arrogant. I’ve always spoken based on my capabilities.”

Xu Yan replied indifferently.

The number of martial artists who came to watch the battle was increasing. Apart from the martial artists of Thousand Martial State, there were also martial artists from other states who had traveled to Thousand Martial State, as well as Loose Cultivators and martial artists from various Spirit Sect families who were continuously gathering.

After all, it was an unprecedented event to set up a platform for a challenge in front of the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall, and challenge the prodigies of the Thousand Martial State.

Whether they were Loose Cultivators or the martial artists from Spirit Sect families, they were all excitedly rushing to witness history. In the future, they could brag about having been witnesses and participants in this historical event!

The substantial reward from the Thousand Martial Hall had also spread among the Spirit Sect families. The various prodigies of the Thousand Martial State, seeing a chance to enter the Thousand Martial Hall, came in droves.

“I’ll see how skilled you are!”

Wei Yuan charged, his long spear piercing forward, giving off a chilling glint. It coiled like a giant python and flew towards Xu Yan.

“Are we deciding the winner, or life and death?”

Xu Yan parried Wei Yuan’s attack and asked in a grave voice.

“In a duel, only life and death matter!”

Wei Yuan coldly retorted, “If you’re scared, kneel and beg for mercy from the Thousand Martial Major Sect. Perhaps that can save your life!”

Xu Yan sneered dismissively and replied coldly, “If you’re seeking death, I’ll naturally oblige.”

He looked up at the other two and asked, “And you two?”

“Life and death!”

The other two responded in frigid voices.

Xu Yan sighed and said, “Ah, these Spirit Sect prodigies surely know the art of seeking death well!”

The onlooking martial artists couldn’t help but twitch their lips. Xu Yan was truly arrogant!

Boom!

Xu Yan’s eyes hardened and with a swing of his sword, he forced Wei Yuan to retreat repeatedly in just three strikes, leaving him in a sorry state.

“Just by yourself, you’re not qualified to duel with me, Xu Yan. I’ll give you a chance. All three of you, come at once.”

Xu Yan coldly declared.

Wei Yuan looked extremely grim. Xu Yan’s strength was beyond what he had imagined. He stood no chance alone.

The expressions of the other two changed. They exchanged a glance, nodded, and landed on the platform, standing with Wei Yuan.

“Xu Yan, you’re too proud. We’ll grant your wish!”

Prodigies should be proud, but this was an opportunity to earn the favor of the Thousand Martial Hall. Besides, when faced with life or death, how many could maintain their pride?

Boom!

The combined might and auras of the three, instantly filled the platform, a formidable force surging.

“Xu Yan is at a disadvantage. The cultivation techniques of the Three Kingdoms and Eight Clans all originate from the Thousand Martial Hall. Once they work together, their auras will merge and their strength will naturally double.”

“Exactly, this isn’t the ordinary combined strength of three martial artists. It’s as if the three of them have fused their powers into one entity. It’s like one person practicing three different martial arts.”

“Xu Yan is still too young and impulsive. He’s too arrogant. He could win one-on-one, but how could he face the combined strength of three?”

Among the spectators, there were those who knew a bit about the martial arts of the Thousand Martial Hall.

At this moment, they all shook their head and sighed. They all believed that Xu Yan was being careless.

This wasn’t a simple joint attack by three martial artists. It was more like the three had fused into a single entity, not spreading out their forces.>

There was no way Xu Yan could divide and conquer in a battle against three in a one against three situation.

“In this battle, Xu Yan will undoubtedly lose!”

An older martial artist stated solemnly.

On the platform, Xu Yan, enveloped in sword intent was facing Wei Yuan and two other prodigies. Even he was a bit surprised. The trio, Wei Yuan and the others combined their forces, their auras blending like the fusion of three into one.

“This is good. After this battle, it’s time for me to breakthrough!”

Xu Yan silently contemplated.

“Xu Yan, today will be your final day!”

Boom!

Wei Yuan took the lead and thrust his spear. Spear light exploded, filling the sky with a chilling radiance as it tore through the air.

The moment Wei Yuan made his move, the other two attacked from both sides towards Xu Yan.

The three attacked simultaneously, it felt like one martial artist launching attacks from three different directions. The overwhelming murderous intent covered Xu Yan, leaving him no place to escape or hide.

Hum!

Suddenly, sword light filled the air!

Xu Yan looked indifferent as he was surrounded by sword light. In the blink of an eye, a tree in the distance shook violently and soared into the air, turning into a sword that stabbed towards Wei Yuan and the other two.

In the span of an instant, trees and grass create a sharp sword that radiates a chilling light. The sword intent surged, the sword Qi intermingled, forming a scene reminiscent of mountains and rivers.
