With this Blackjade Profound Spirit Ointment, breaking through was a thing to be expected.
Lian Hua smiled sweetly and said, "Since Big Brother is so generous, I can't be too stingy either, right? This Emerald Jade Metalheart Pearl will be my stake."
"Hiss …"
Another wave of cold breaths being s.u.c.k.e.d in spread out.
Along with each and every one of the stakes being brought out, the group of house guards' eyes all gave off envy, becoming incomparably fervent.
Chapter 1480 - Lost Face, Right?
In front of Ka Xin, eight treasures were placed.
Each article was a very rare item.
"These eight treasures will only be awarded to those three people ranked first! After everyone settles on the people going on the field, they are not to substitute. If they are defeated, they can continue to go up the next round. If they die, there can only be two people answering the challenge the next round, so on and so forth. Does everyone have any objections?" Ka Xin said coolly.
"None, none!"
"Naturally none!"
...
All of the household guards all waved their hands repeatedly, not having any objections towards Ka Xin's words at all.
These kinds of rules were very rare in human regions.
But in the fiend race territory, it was commonplace.
Which fight did not have people injured, no loss of lives, would be a strange thing instead.
But wanting to kill members of the fiend race was not an easy thing.
The fiend race's nucleus was the fiend soul. As long as the fiend soul was not exterminated, they could revive.
Hence, unless the strength disparity was very great between fiends, otherwise, losses of life would not appear.
These household guards were all grand completion Two-star Fiend Generals. Whoever wanted to kill another fiend was not that easy of a matter.
Coming to this kind of occasion, the four great families' disciples were all contending in the dark. Who they brought were naturally the experts among their household guards too.
And the one and only make do Two-star Fiend General was Ye Yuan.
This intention of targeting was seriously too obvious.
The competition was a total of three rounds. In other people's view, the likelihood of Ye Yuan making it past three rounds alive was virtually zero.
A household guard who got his position by relying on his looks, how much strength could he have?
"Starshine, the three of you have to perform well in a while! I see that everyone's strength is all very formidable. So you guys mustn't bring down the reputation of City Lord Manor!" Ka Xin said to a household guard beside him with a profound meaning.
This Starshine had followed Ka Xin for a very long time. So how could he not understand his meaning?
As long as he ran into Ye Yuan, he must kill him.
"Your Highness rest assured, Starshine will definitely go all out and not disappoint your highness," Starshine bowed his body and said.
While on this side, Li Ji whispered to Ye Yuan, "Brother Source Night, if you're not a match in a while, just take the initiative to admit defeat! Big Brother there still have quite a few experts. Our Fan Family won't lose."
Li Ji was not worried about Ye Yuan being directly insta-killed. After all, he was able to kill Lang Ge, his strength already did not lose to ordinary grand completion Two-star fiend generals already.
But these household guards in front, none of them were mediocre.
Lang Ge's strength was not totally enough to look at in front of them.
The reason why Li Ji solicited Ye Yuan was taking fancy on his potential, and not eyeing his strength.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Li Ji rest assured, Source Night knows what to do."
...
"It's all this damn burden, making us unable to get those treasures! If not for this brat dragging down, we can definitely win!" Luo Qi said hatefully.
"Kid, if you have the balls, don't land in our hands in the future. Otherwise, you'll get it!" Pei Lan gritted his teeth and said.
There was a small-scale practice field in this courtyard. After coming to the practice field, Luo Qi and Pei Lan bared their teeth at Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and said indifferently, "Hope that you guys don't drag me down in a while."
"Drag you down? Hahaha, what a joke! If not for drawing close to Miss Li Ji, do you think you have the qualifications to stand here?" Luo Qi said with a cold laugh.
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Idiot!"
"What did you say?!"
Luo Qi exploded right away. Luckily, Pei Lan still knew some sense of propriety and hurriedly pulled him, saying, "Alright, alright, now isn't the time to be quarreling! Whatever there is, go back then resolve it!"
Luo Qi shot a fierce glare at Ye Yuan and said, "Remember it for me, you'll get it when we go back! Don't think that you can be lawless and unbridled with Miss Li Ji covering you!"
The Capone Capital City's four great families were the Ka Family, the You Family, the Mo Family, and the Fan Family.
The Fan Family's opponent in the first round was the You Family's You Nie's household guards.
When the three people saw this scene, their eyes revealed looks of contempt and said with a light laugh, "Heh, luck is really good, drew three idiots. Haven't even fought yet and they are in-fighting first."
"Haha, Young Master You Nie is also Miss Li Ji's pursuer. Just now, he instructed to definitely exterminate this punk!"
"Leave this kid to me, I'll definitely send him on his way!"
"Heh, Na Qi, you really know how to pick on an easy target! Move faster! Hurry over and help us when you're done!"
"Right!"
The three people chimed in one after another, already directly sentencing Ye Yuan to death.
This three-people battle rules, the very start was three-versus-three.
If there was one side who was defeated or had deaths, the victor would be able to join the other two groups, forming a two-versus-one situation, all the way until one side was defeated!
Hence, if there was an expert whose strength was especially outstanding, they would gain a huge upper-hand.
Na Qi looked at Ye Yuan and said with a scornful look, "Wake up, kid, you have no chance to admit defeat!"
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes again and said speechlessly, "Why are there so many idiots?"
"Heh, razor-tongued brat. In a while, watch how you die!" Na Qi said with a cold smile.
You Nie watched his scene rather interestedly and said to You Dan beside him with a smile, "Big Brother, do you think this punk will directly admit defeat every round?"
You Dan smiled and said, "Do you think Ka Xin will let him get off the stage alive?"
You Nie's gaze was dark as he said, "Reckless and blind thing, to actually dare have designs on Li Ji! I hope that Na Qi directly finishes him off!"
"First round battle, begin!" at this time, the City Lord Manor's household guard directly shouted.
Swoosh!
The voice had yet to fade, only to see a streak of cold light flash past!
Na Qi's body was clearly still standing on the spot, but the cold light already passed through Ye Yuan's body.
When You Nie saw the situation, he could not help bursting into laughter, "Hahaha! He's too weak! Couldn't even block one move! Li Ji, this household guard of yours is seriously too weak!"
But very quickly, You Nie's loud laughter turned stiff there. Because he discovered that nobody was chiming in with him at all.
This laugh was so awkward.
You Nie did not understand. Looking toward the practicing field again, his smile immediately turned stiff on his face.
No idea when, Ye Yuan and Na Qi actually changed positions!
And Ye Yuan was completely unscathed!
"J-Just now, that was an afterimage?"
In a blink of an eye, the two people actually teleported, changing positions.<
br />
This indicated that what he saw earlier were both afterimages!
Forget about Na Qi, why was … Ye Yuan the same too?
You Dan shot a helpless glance at his younger brother and said with a sigh, "Told you to cultivate more long ago, but you wouldn't listen! With this, you lost face, right?"
Fortunately, everyone was in the midst of shock.
Everyone did not expect that a middle-level Two-star fiend general could actually keep up with a grand completion Two-star Fiend General's speed!
Furthermore, speed was clearly Na Qi's forte.
Although You Nie's strength was the weakest among this group of people, he was, at any rate, a grand completion Two-star Fiend General.
Even he could not keep up with Na Qi's speed, but Ye Yuan kept up!
"Could it be a fluke?" Ka Xin frowned and said.
But Lian Hua wore a smile on her face and said, "Tsk tsk, seems … rather interesting! I'm becoming more and more interested in Little Brother1!"
Na Qi's move failed to carry out, his expression was sullen to the extreme.
"Terrific lad, go to hell!" Na Qi roared and rushed over toward Ye Yuan. Little Brother here is actually closer to Oppa.
Chapter 1481 - Sleepy
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Na Qi and Ye Yuan, the two people's figures moved quickly, their speed swift to the extreme.
You Nie watched until his eyes were dazzled, only feeling one afterimage after another made his entire person dizzy.
You Nie was a true-blue silkpants. Although he had a grand completion Two-star Fiend General cultivation realm, his strength was far lacking.
His visual prowess could not keep up with the two people's speed at all.
Na Qi had two claws worn on his wrist. A hundred claw strikes came out in a blink of an eye.
But each time, it would brush past Ye Yuan.
Each time, it was missing that little bit.
The claws scratched here and there around Ye Yuan, but could not touch him. This drove Na Qi crazy.
"Damn fellow, attack if you have the capabilities! What kind of ability is it considered to dodge and hide?"
On the practicing field, came Na Qi's roar.
"This is what you said." Ye Yuan's figure moved swiftly, but his words were calm.
"Rubbish, of course I said it! If you have the capabilities, fight openly! Do you, a pretty boy, only know how to dodge?" Na Qi bellowed angrily.
Pfft!
A sharp sword directly pierced Na Qi's head, grounding his fiend soul into smithereens.
His roar also came to an abrupt end.
"The moment I attack, you're dead," looking at Na Qi's corpse, Ye Yuan said helplessly.
"Fool! Unleashed a hundred moves and couldn't even touch the corners of his sleeves, he actually still didn't realize the disparity and still wanted him to attack! Truly seeking death!" You Dan said with a cold snort.
You Nie said blankly, "What … What happened?"
In his eyes, Na Qi had always been suppressing Ye Yuan.
Why was he gone all of a sudden?
Ka Xin's expression turned dark, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes and he snorted coldly, but then he fell silent.
Li Ji's gaze turned intent and a hint of intoxication actually flashed across her eyes.
Ye Yuan's every move and stance was truly cool to the extreme.
Good-looking, strength was even that formidable, really could not pick out any shortcomings!
She also did not think that Ye Yuan's strength was actually so powerful.
Seemed like when he killed that Lang Ge, Ye Yuan did not use his full strength at all.
"This kid is so strong! Looks like we all underestimated him!"
"Originally thought that he's the weakest among the three, so I didn't expect that his strength was the greatest!"
"He's just a middle-stage Two-star Fiend General, truly inconceivable!"
"Eh … what's he doing?"
...
In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Ye Yuan hugged his sword and slowly retreated to the edge of the field, and actually found a corner and went to sleep.
Luo Qi and Pei Lan two people had fallen into a bitter fight, but already knew that Ye Yuan had won.
They originally thought that Ye Yuan would help. In the end, glimpsing through their peripherals, they discovered that Ye Yuan actually went to sleep, and were immediately enraged until smoke bellowed from all seven orifices.
"Punk, quickly come and help!"
"Hey, Source Night, don't you want those treasures?"
The two people started yelling anxiously. But what answered them was Ye Yuan's snoring.
This guy actually fell asleep?
Must be feigned!
Didn't this guy know what was called putting the big picture first?
Even if there was any grudge, it should also be settled after winning the opponent!
The two people remaining on You Nie's side originally thought that Ye Yuan would take the chance and come over to help.
In the end, Ye Yuan actually went over there and snored loudly in his sleep!
Happiness came too suddenly, making them rather overwhelmed.
Internal strife was really great!
With this, they naturally would not be silly enough to go and provoke Ye Yuan, but they want to finish off these two in front of them as soon as possible.
This way, they would surely win going two-on-one.
Hence, they became more valiant as they fought, killing until Luo Qi and Pei Lan two people were in a flurry.
Fortunately, both Luo Qi and Pei Lan still had some strength. After a bout of bitter fighting, the two of them both narrowly won their opponents.
The first round was actually cleared with dangers!
The moment it ended, Luo Qi exploded, coming to Ye Yuan's side ablaze with anger and berated, "Kid, what's the meaning? We could clearly finish off the opponent very quickly, but you're snoring loudly in your sleep here!"
Ye Yuan opened both eyes with a drowsy look and said blurry, "Mn? Ended? Sorry about it, slept too late yesterday. I was sleepy."
"Pffft!"
Everyone guffawed with laughter. This reason … was seriously too crappy.
A Two-star Fiend General powerhouse, even if they did not sleep for a decade, it was nothing. But Ye Yuan said that he was sleepy.
Luo Qi had a hideous look on his face, becoming virtually contorted at this time.
"You!" Luo Qi was practically going nuts.
Ye Yuan stood up, yawned, and said with a still dissatisfied appearance, "Eh? Nobody came to find me, could it be that we won? Uh … two seniors' strengths are indeed very formidable, Source Night admires! The battle at the back will still have to rely on the two of you."
As he said, Ye Yuan clasped his hands and had a very humble look, directly angering the two people until they were about to vomit blood.
Ye Yuan's comical appearance tickled Li Ji until she shook with laughter.
The fiend race men were all bold and unconstrained, yelling about killing at every turn. How many had a fine sense of humor like Ye Yuan?
Good-looking, young, powerful strength, and even humorous!
Such a man simply had a fatal attraction toward fiend race women.
Not just Li Ji, Lian Hua's gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was similarly extremely intoxicated.
After a farce, it was other teams' turn to compete.
Sure enough, the strength of Ka Xin's team was very powerful, finishing off the opponent virtually as easy as blowing off dust.
You Dan's group also won Lian Hua's group, obtaining a spot in the semi-finals.
While Fan Yu's group also defeated the Mo Family's group, obtaining a top four spot.
This way, the Fan Family actually took two spots, while the Mo Family was directly eliminated.
With this lottery draw, the Fan Family brother and sister were actually put in the same group.
Li Ji said wit
h a smug look, "Big Brother, didn't you say that my men are no good? Now, us brother and sister are going to fight!"
Regarding Ye Yuan's strength, Fan Yu was greatly astonished too.
Only then did he know that he seemed to have really misunderstood his younger sister.
This Source Night, not only did he have the looks, he even had the strength!
The argument of relying on looks to get his position was probably false.
"Heh, then us brother and sister will compete! I'll say it first, they won't go easy. These things are too tempting, even if I make them go easy, they wouldn't be willing either," Fan Yu said with a laugh.
Li Ji smiled and said, "I won't go easy too!"
The first team up in this round was Ka Xin's team and You Dan's team. After a bout of fierce fighting, it was still Ka Xin's team who won.
Such a battle, what it tested most was the balance of the three people's strength.
Clearly, the strength of Ka Xin's group of three were all steady until it terrified people.
The advantage of the City Lord Manor could not be what the other three families could compare to.
When the other two teams were fighting, Pei Lan pulled Luo Qi to one side and said in a low voice, "This round, if he still dares to sleep, we'll directly admit defeat! Didn't this kid scam us? This time, we'll scam him too! Young master Fan Yu's those three aren't nice people. Either way, you and I can't win either. If this kid is wise, perhaps we'd still have hopes of winning."
Luo Qi nodded his head and said, "Alright, do it that way!"
Chapter 1482 - Changing Rules
On Fan Yu's side, the one taking the lead was called Xiu Ning.
Ye Yuan's opponent was precisely him.
However, this Xiu Ning had witnessed Ye Yuan's means and was clearly very apprehensive toward him.
"Brother Source Night has excellent skills; Xiu Ning admires. However, Luo Qi and Pei Lan are too weak, they can't win Starshine. Why not you admit defeat, those eight treasures obtained, we'll share two with you, how about it?" Xiu Ning looked at Ye Yuan and said.
Luo Qi and Pei Lan two people's expressions both changed and they said in a solemn voice, "Xiu Ning, what's the meaning of this?"
