Chapter 1075: Chapter 1049: Yan Yan’s Provocation

Yun Qi continued: “Aside from Yan Huohuo, the other four are all cultivating the Four Paths, with extraordinary talents, and all are also at the Sixth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm. Five who are at the Sixth Layer and also possess such demonic talent, that’s why the Flame Nation is so ambitious this time. Yan Huohuo is the contender for the top spot, while the others aim to become Inner Sect disciples. If nothing unexpected happens, all five of them might really pass the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect’s disciple selection.”

“Oh my—” Wang Qiutian was completely struck, not expecting to encounter such a major problem upon arriving at Jiuzhou City—this was indeed a big deal.

Hua Wuliang said: “That’s why I said, you’ve gotten yourself into big trouble.”

Wang Qiutian grinned: “What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just cultivating the Five Paths. Our Tangyu is directly cultivating the Yin Yang Path. Even Xing Tian and the Holy Sun are cultivating the Four Paths, are we supposed to be afraid of them? Let’s just fight them.”

“Damn!” This time it was Hua Wuliang’s turn to be surprised, all four of them looked at Tangyu in astonishment, actually directly cultivating the Yin Yang Path, this indeed was truly defying the heavens.

Hua Wuliang grinned: “You guys are hitting people where it hurts. I just casually board a carriage and meet a group of freaks like you, it’s quite a shock.”

Over at the Flame Nation, a handsome young man leaped down, arriving at the open ground, looking at Wu Meng with a slightly provocative glance: “I just arrived, heard you’ve won eighteen matches in a row, that should mean you have some strength. Just arrived at Jiuzhou City today and my hands are a bit itchy, want to use you to warm up.”

These casual words were also full of provocation, anyone hearing them would feel very uncomfortable.

Wu Meng’s brows furrowed, looking at the newcomer, he said: “I am Wu Meng, may I ask for your name? Today is a martial exchange day, if you wish to offer guidance, I am naturally willing. However, we’ve never met before and have no grudges, there’s no need to ignite True Fire. A spar or two could be for friendly exchange.”

The handsome young man slightly smiled, the corner of his mouth lifting: “A spar is fine, friendly exchange is unnecessary, I don’t need to know you, nor do I need to know who you are. All you need to know is that I am Yan Yan, the fifth prince of the Flame Nation. Less nonsense, make your move. Otherwise, if I act first, you’ll have no chance.”

Yan Yan’s words couldn’t be more arrogant, words like these were truly uncomfortable to hear. Here, he even wanted to play the prince’s card, indeed, many were displeased.

But the fame of the princes from the Flame Nation was evidently known by quite a few people.

The Holy Sun grinned: “The princes of the Flame Nation are really quite arrogant. Being so arrogant, I doubt it’ll end well for them. This time, with talents gathered, they won’t be able to run rampant.”

Hua Wuliang said: “Nothing can be done, perhaps it’s genetic, seeing that the Flame King is an extremely arrogant Great Power. The Flame King’s fame is renowned throughout the Jiuzhou Territory.”

The battle between Yan Yan and Wu Meng immediately erupted. Wu Meng, with Yan Yan’s repeated provocations, could no longer bear it, also let out a light shout, and charged at Yan Yan.

In terms of realm, Wu Meng was also at the Sixth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm, and was also cultivating the Four Paths, so in this aspect, he was the same as Yan Yan.

Wu Meng’s sword attack came, brilliant sword blossoms unfurled like blooming lotus flowers, the lotuses like tides, directly assaulting towards Yan Yan, forming a torrent of Sword Force. Though it didn’t seem overly fierce, it contained terrifying killing intent.

Yan Yan grinned, moved his hand, and a dragon-shaped golden sword appeared in his hand, slashing out, instantly a Flame Dragon roared out, the Sword Force transformed into a Flame Dragon, wildly roaring to meet Wu Meng head-on.

Boom boom boom—

The Golden Dragon roared, unstoppable, sweeping through everything, directly shattering Wu Meng’s Sword Force. Wu Meng was also struck by the terrifying Golden Dragon, the sword in his hand almost got shaken off, his body continuously retreated, leaving two long grooves on the ground, sliding for dozens of meters before stabilizing.

Wu Meng was extremely uncomfortable, throat dry as he glanced at Yan Yan, saying dryly: “I lost, I am impressed.”

Yan Yan smirked: “You’re not bad, your skills are passable, but you’re still a bit short of becoming an Inner Sect disciple. You might have a chance as an Outer Sect disciple.”

Wu Meng bit his teeth secretly, and turned away to leave.

Yan Yan’s victory over the eighteen-match-winning Wu Meng drew a burst of astonished exclamations. Those who had heard of the fame of the several princes of the Flame Nation also witnessed the prowess of a Flame Nation prince, proving the reputation true.

The Holy Sun said: “This Yan Yan is truly formidable. His cultivation technique is at the level of a Spiritual Art, it’s the ‘Golden Dragon Divine Power’ of the Flame Nation. At the Mystic Law Realm Sixth Layer level, he has managed to cultivate such a powerful Spiritual Art to such an extent, he truly has the capital to be arrogant. I estimate that if I were to face him, I would have no chance of winning either. I have also cultivated a Spiritual Art, but I have only grasped a mere hint, far from such proficiency.”

Tangyu also curled his lips. This Yan Yan’s strength is indeed formidable. Although Tangyu is confident that he can defeat Yan Yan, it certainly won’t be an easy task. Moreover, this Yan Yan is obviously not the most formidable in the Flame Nation; the most formidable is Yan Huohuo. If even Yan Yan appears so formidable, then what level has Yan Huohuo’s strength reached?

“It seems I should cultivate the ‘Reincarnation Seal’ bestowed by Elder Shengfeng City Lord before the selection. If I can cultivate the Reincarnation Seal, then nobody in this Jiuzhou Immortal Sect disciple selection should be able to be my opponent. Although with my current strength, I have the advantage of the Yin Yang Path Foundation, this advantage is not very significant. My cultivation technique is still slightly weaker. Unless I’m willing to use the Power of Divine Demon,” Tangyu thought to himself.

If he uses the Power of Divine Demon, Tangyu believes that this time, he will be invincible.

However, Tangyu is still unwilling to use the Power of Divine Demon because this disciple selection is a very important training opportunity for him. Perhaps, he can take this opportunity to achieve a breakthrough. If he uses the Power of Divine Demon, it would certainly be a sweeping victory without any suspense, and that would be too bullying. Furthermore, Tangyu is unwilling to expose his Power of Divine Demon, as the path of Divine Demon Body Refinement has almost become extinct now.

If he reveals it, it will certainly bring a lot of trouble upon himself and will attract the attention of others. With a little deduction, they might guess that he has obtained the Moluo World heritage, and those envious might want to uncover his secrets. This is something that Tangyu does not want to see.

The Power of Divine Demon is now one of Tangyu’s greatest trump cards, so unless absolutely necessary, he will not reveal it.

At this moment, Tangyu felt a sharp gaze directed towards him. He looked over and saw Yan Yan’s gaze looking in this direction.

Yan Yan pointed with the Golden Dragon Sword in his hand, with a mocking smirk on his lips, “A few commoners, weren’t you arrogant outside the city gate just now? Now, do you dare to come down and fight this prince? Let this prince see what kind of abilities you have that makes you dare to act so recklessly and challenge the dignity of the Flame Nation’s prince.”

Yan Yan’s words instantly drew gazes towards Tangyu and his group.

Tangyu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Facing such a provocation naturally made him very unhappy. However, today, Tangyu did not plan to make a move here and attract attention. Now is not the time to steal the spotlight; if there’s a time for that, it will be during the disciple selection.

Holy Sun also looked displeased: “Having some ability, you really think you’re number one under the heavens. So full of yourself. Tangyu, shall we fight or not?”

Hua Wuliang said, “Fight, fight, cripple them. Damn it, I’ve been annoyed with them for a long time, wanted to beat them up for a while.”

Wang Qiutian rolled his eyes at Hua Wuliang, “You say it so nicely, so why don’t you go up? I’ll be cheering you on.”

Hua Wuliang curled his lips, “I’d like to make a move, but that would be too high-profile, and that’s not my style. If he keeps provoking me, I’ll definitely take him out. As for today, let’s drop it.”

“Tsk—” Wang Qiutian sneered dismissively.

Seeing that Tangyu and his group did not respond, Yan Yan sneered again, “What, are you commoners scared? Weren’t you all tough just now? Didn’t you disregard me, the Flame Nation prince? Why don’t you dare make a sound now, not even a peep? Hmph, I’ve seen many commoners like you. Do you really think that by reaching Jiuzhou City, you can put on airs and overstep your bounds? Without that capability, you better lie low obediently for me.”

Holy Sun stood up in displeasure.

Tangyu stood up and placed his hand on Holy Sun’s shoulder, “Let me do it; you might not be able to handle him.”

Holy Sun looked at Tangyu and nodded, “Alright, you go.” Indeed, Holy Sun wasn’t entirely confident he could beat Yan Yan.

“Hmph, Yan Yan, don’t be arrogant. So what if you’re the Flame Nation prince? In the Flame Nation, you can be pampered and superior. But outside the Flame Nation, you’re nothing; stop posing as a prince. In Jiuzhou City, everyone is treated equally and here to participate in the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect disciple selection. Do you think you can stand above me? Wait until you truly become a Jiuzhou Immortal Sect disciple and I haven’t, then come flaunt your identity. For now, don’t shout too loudly,” Holy Sun said displeased.

Yan Yan’s eyes showed a flash of cold fierceness as he looked deeply at Holy Sun, snorted, “A commoner is just a commoner, ignorant. Even outside the Flame Nation, I am still a prince, and you are just a commoner. You’re far from being able to compete with me. I am determined to seize a spot as a Jiuzhou Immortal Sect disciple. As for you, keep dreaming.”

“Whether I’m dreaming or not, you needn’t worry about it,” Holy Sun said.

Tangyu curled his lips, jumped forward, and landed in front of Yan Yan, “Spare the nonsense; stop posing as a prince. Want a fight, do you? I’ll accompany you. If you have the ability to defeat me, then go ahead and flaunt. Without that ability, just keep quiet.”

Yan Yan twisted his neck and looked coldly at Tangyu with a few hints of cruelty on his face.
