Capítulo 1529: Chapter 1728: You’re a Liar!

Now, aside from shock, there’s only shock left, surprised at how powerful Hao Jian’s strength turned out to be. They had underestimated Hao Jian before; he is truly a master, deeply concealed yet not revealed.

At this moment, Ye Yiyun is just a plaything in Hao Jian’s hands, getting beaten and kicked at will.

This is the contrast in strength; strength proves everything.

Ye Yiyun might be dazed by the beating or pained into stupor from the wounds on his body. He seems somewhat foolish or perhaps he couldn’t have imagined that someone he once looked down upon could be so strong.

He can feel it himself; this isn’t just a little bit stronger but a lot stronger, so strong that he doesn’t even have the strength to fight back now.

That means Hao Jian was merely hiding his strength before or has always hidden it, taking advantage of his underestimation to suddenly humiliate him.

Ye Yiyun feels very angry, very angry.

If he could, he would kill Hao Jian now.

His gaze shifts, then he sees the Broken Sword previously struck to the ground by Hao Jian. He reaches out to grab that sword; he wants to kill Hao Jian, kill him ruthlessly.

But as soon as his hand stretches out, the sword is kicked away by Hao Jian, clearly showing that Hao Jian knew his intentions.

He suddenly stands up wanting to punch Hao Jian down, but as soon as he throws a punch, Hao Jian kicks him, making him sit back on the ground.

Hao Jian walks over then lifts him up with a single grab, “Smack!” with a slap across his face.

The sound of this slap is crisp, clear enough to be heard by everyone present.

Ye Yiyun is dazed by the slap, and the audience is also dumbfounded.

This, this is a complete thrashing, an utter defeat.

Ye Yiyun’s supporters are now silent, speechless; some even feel humiliated and sneak away.

Originally they thought Ye Yiyun was strong but unexpectedly, he was beaten without any power to fight back by someone unknown, only bragging about being the top newcomer, which is simply ridiculous, utterly disgraceful.

So those who originally supported him are now silent as well, either keeping their heads down.

Meanwhile, those who didn’t approve of Ye Yiyun’s style are now cheering, shouting, yelling, undeniably causing quite a stir.

However, at this moment, the Sect Master of Tianwang Fort, who has been watching the competition from afar, couldn’t sit still anymore, suddenly slamming his chair and standing up.

“This is preposterous!”

At this time, the Sect Master of Eight Trigrams City, who had been humiliated by the Sect Master of Tianwang Fort, laughed and said: “Stay calm. Since it’s a competition, strength is the priority; losing and being beaten is quite normal. The referee has yet to announce the results, and you’re already losing your cool!”

The Sect Master of Eight Trigrams City’s words were clearly directed at the Sect Master of Tianwang Fort, implying that whatever he previously said will be returned to him.

Spare those who can be spared? Nonsense! In Jianghu, if you rely on this saying, you won’t last long.

Times have changed; previously, you humiliated me, and I endured. Now that you’ve become a drowned dog, it’s my turn to humiliate you, harshly and decisively.

The Sect Master of Eight Trigrams City said this, intending to straightforwardly humiliate the Sect Master of Tianwang Fort.

However, the Sect Master of Tianwang Fort couldn’t utter a word because the Elders of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion were present. Saying that the judges were unfair meant saying Heavenly Machine Pavilion was unfair.

After a struggle within, he could only glare fiercely at the Sect Master of Eight Trigrams City, humph once, then sit back down.

Meanwhile, other sect masters present were intrigued, instructing their subordinates to investigate information on Hao Jian.

At this moment, in the ring, Ye Yiyun had been thoroughly beaten into a stupor by Hao Jian.

Ye Yiyun didn’t care about losing face anymore, he just wanted to escape, flee from here, to avoid Hao Jian’s abuse.

But Hao Jian is a very vengeful person, how could he let Ye Yiyun go so easily?

Hao Jian blocked Ye Yiyun’s retreat, and with a wave, slapped him across the face.

“Smack!”

Hao Jian’s speed was so quick that Ye Yiyun didn’t even have time to react.

“This slap is for those people you hit earlier!” said Hao Jian.

Ye Yiyun covers his face, retreating continuously.

“Smack!”

Another hard slap landed on Ye Yiyun’s face, causing Ye Yiyun to spin 360 degrees midair before heavily hitting the ground.

“This slap is for Qiqi!” said Hao Jian.

Ye Yiyun struggles to stand up.

“Smack!”

Ye Yiyun was again harshly beaten down to the ground.

“This slap is because I simply wanted to hit, no reason!” said Hao Jian.

Ye Yiyun struggled to stand up again, but what greeted him was even greater pain.

“Smack!”

“Smack!”

“Smack!”

“…”

In an instant, countless slaps landed on Ye Yiyun’s face. It was as if he had lost all sensation; his face moved in the direction of the slaps, left when hit on the left, right when hit on the right, leaving him looking dazed.

With the sound of the last slap stopping, Ye Yiyun lost his balance and fell to the ground. At this point, his cheeks were as red as a ‘something,’ swollen as if they were another ‘something,’ making his face so swollen it looked like he had turned into a different person.

The key was that he was still entranced by Hao Jian’s swift and forceful slaps, not yet able to regain his senses.

As for Hao Jian, his hand was unscathed, as if he was someone without feeling.

Logically, when one exerts force, they feel it too; you’d expect Hao Jian’s hand to hurt from hitting, but he felt nothing, leaving the crowd in awe.

This is truly a master among newcomers.

Who is this person? No one had heard of his name before, yet his strength is so formidable, he’s simply a master.

The crowd continued to shout in excitement, but without knowing Hao Jian’s name, they couldn’t form a consensus. Eventually, someone called out “master” a few times, then everyone began chanting “master is amazing, master is amazing!”

Hao Jian never cared for fame and fortune, but now it seemed that having a group of followers wasn’t so bad, it at least sounded very exhilarating.

At this moment, someone who had been watching the Moon suddenly looked furious, drew their sword, and jumped onto the stage.

Ye Yiyun saw Moon get on the stage and immediately acted as if he had found a savior, hiding behind Moon.

It was humiliating for a man to need a woman to protect him, and the crowd seized this opportunity to further disgrace Ye Yiyun.

But Ye Yiyun didn’t care about anything at this point. To him, life was more important than anything else. Losing face was nothing, as long as he stayed alive, he could live to fight another day.

Moon stood in front of Ye Yiyun, looked over his injuries, and told him to get off the stage quickly. Ye Yiyun immediately scurried off the stage.

At this time, Moon looked at Hao Jian with an angry face and said, “Why did you hurt him?”

Seeing Moon again, Hao Jian felt a little happy, but once he realized Moon was there to defend Ye Yiyun, his expression changed dramatically.

It seemed that Moon had been perfectly deceived by Ye Yiyun, forgetting the past, and now defending Ye Yiyun.

Hao Jian just smiled and didn’t speak.

The crowd below was stunned, but no one spoke. The previous cheers ceased, and everyone held their breath to watch the events unfold on stage.

At this moment, Moon’s gaze became increasingly angry as she looked at Hao Jian.

“Yesterday you deceived me, but today you appear before me again and even hurt Senior Brother. What are you up to?” Moon said.

Hao Jian looked at Moon. At this moment, Moon seemed like a different person. Moon never used to speak to him like this, but this person was clearly his Moon.

Hao Jian began to resent himself, hating that he hadn’t protected Moon well.

“Moon, I…” Hao Jian started, but faltered.

But Moon still looked angrily at Hao Jian. To her, Hao Jian was just a cunning liar who wanted to trick her into believing he knew her.

“Stop making excuses!” Moon said. “No matter what you say this time, I won’t believe you, you pervert, you liar!”

“Moon…”

Hao Jian wanted to speak again, but Moon had already raised her sword and lunged at him.

Hao Jian immediately raised his sword to block Moon’s attack.

“Clang!”

Moon’s forceful strike made Hao Jian retreat repeatedly.

Moon was not Ye Yiyun; her strength far surpassed Ye Yiyun. In the past, Moon’s greatest skill was swordsmanship, so when she attacked Hao Jian with her sword, he could not respond as casually as he did against Ye Yiyun.

The crowd began whispering to each other. Maybe many had never seen Moon before, but they had heard of Moon from Tianwang Fort.

Someone asked, “Who is this woman?”

Someone who knew replied, “You don’t know? This is Moon of Tianwang Fort, whose fame even surpasses Ye Yiyun. Although it’s unclear how this Moon suddenly appeared, her strength is undeniable, far superior to that of Ye Yiyun!”

Someone else found it hard to believe, “Isn’t Ye Yiyun the top expert of Tianwang Fort? Can this Moon be even stronger than Ye Yiyun?”

The knowing person was a bit displeased, “Believe it or not!”

Another person said, “Indeed, this Moon is stronger than Ye Yiyun. Otherwise, Ye Yiyun wouldn’t have immediately hidden behind Moon when she took the stage. I originally thought Ye Yiyun was formidable, but I didn’t expect him to be easily defeated, just a coward who hides behind a woman for protection. This really changed my opinion of him greatly!”
