Ch 4: The Ruthless And Cunning Junior Sister Jun?
“Very good.”
Zheng Yuan turned his head and looked down at Jun Liuhe, then at Xia Jiuyuan,
“Blades are ruthless. I hope Acting Peak Master Xia won’t blame me then.” With that, he strode towards his Arena No. 41,
Jun Liuhe followed behind him, walking slowly step by step.
The scene of showing off and being slapped in the face arrived, but it wasn’t Xia Jiuyuan’s turn.
Seeing this, Xia Jiuyuan quickly used a Transmission Talisman to transmit a message to Fang Hao, an Administrator of this Martial Arts Grand Competition,
“Do me a favor. Promote this match between Arena No. 51 and Arena No. 41, and I’ll cover the Spirit Stones for everyone who watches the recording of this match!”
Less than two minutes after the transmission, Fang Hao and Le Yunzhe from Divine Secrets Peak arrived,
“Holy cow, is this Junior Martial Sister really from your Lucky Peak? As expected of the Fairy race, she’s so beautiful…”
Xia Jiuyuan rolled his eyes and said:
“During Wang Ji’s incident, didn’t I say I picked up another Junior Martial Sister?”
“I thought you were just saying that to provoke him.”
Xia Jiuyuan was speechless. He looked at Le Yunzhe and said:
“Brother Le, why are you here too?”
“As soon as he heard that your Lucky Peak was going to fight with someone from Sword Peak, he became anxious!
I guarantee you, he definitely thought it was you—mmph”
Le Yunzhe covered Fang Hao’s mouth and explained apologetically:
“I did think Brother Xia was going to act impulsively. But it seems it wasn’t you, so it’s fine.”
“Hey, hey, what do you mean ‘it’s fine’? Junior Martial Brother Xia, is your Junior Martial Sister stable? She’s so beautiful, I’m already smitten…”
Xia Jiuyuan rolled his eyes,
“Don’t even think about it!”
“That’s true. After being on your peak for so long, you probably have the advantage of proximity.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, watch the arena.”
The three looked at Jun Liuhe on Arena No. 41, waiting for the Referee to arrive,
“By the way, why does she have cultivation? I remember Fairies can’t cultivate, right?”
“I don’t know.”
Le Yunzhe commented:
“Your Junior Martial Sister’s aura is so restrained… But don’t underestimate Zheng Yuan.
Although Zheng Yuan is only ranked 41st here, if you consider it seriously, he’s among the top 100 of the entire Human Race’s Third Rank Genius List.
But then again, since Brother Xia trusts Junior Martial Sister Jun so much, I believe Junior Martial Sister Jun will surely win.”
Fang Hao stroked his chin and said, “Since you’re all so confident, let’s make it more exciting.”
He said this, took out an Amplifying Stone, cleared his throat, and shouted:
“The ultimate beautiful Junior Martial Sister from Lucky Peak of Ask Dao Sect will duel genius Zheng Yuan from Sword Peak on Arena No. 41! Come and watch! Come and watch!
Also, this match will be available for free viewing via Shadow Stone!”
The voice spread throughout the Main Peak!
Xia Jiuyuan looked at Zheng Yuan on the arena with pity. He didn’t expect Fang Hao to use his administrator privileges to advertise like this,
Zheng Yuan was now incredibly embarrassed, suffering social death.
Fang Hao put away the Amplifying Stone after speaking and flew towards the arena, saying to Zheng Yuan and Jun Liuhe,
“I’ll be the Referee. Feel free to use any means you wish. Now, you have ten minutes to prepare.”
Five minutes later, genius Zhou Qi from Spirit Peak Pill Pavilion rushed over to watch the excitement,
He liked to study new Pill Formulas, and Xia Jiuyuan always had some strange Pill Formulas provided by the System, which led to their interactions.
“Do me a small favor. Investigate the matters of Sword Peak, and also give those involved a ‘lesson’.”
His eyes rolled, looking very cunning, “This is no small matter.”
“The two previous favors don’t need to be repaid, and I’ll add this Blueberry Flavor Spirit Pill Recipe.”
“Oh my, look at you, why are you saying that? Junior Martial Brother Xia’s business is my business.
But let me be clear beforehand, I can’t help you get revenge on Wang Ji, but I can help you deal with those outer disciples.”
“Okay.”
The two exchanged smiles and looked at the arena together.
Seven minutes later, Wang Ji arrived,
The two did not act like enemies meeting, but merely exchanged glances before silently looking at the arena.
This genius was not stupid; he might have figured something out.
Ten minutes later, Duan Shahe arrived late. It was a pity, as he had just returned to Lucky Peak to prepare for his nap when he heard the news.
Below the arena, apart from Mo Mo, the remaining three from Lucky Peak were cheering for Jun Liuhe, while Mo Mo was creating on her own arena for Jun Liuhe.
“Senior Martial Brother, is Junior Martial Sister Jun really okay?”
“Don’t worry, the opponent is the challenger.”
On the arena, Fang Hao, seeing that enough people had arrived, began to speak,
“We will begin in ten seconds.”
Zheng Yuan opened his eyes, drew his long sword, and pointed the tip directly at Jun Liuhe.
Jun Liuhe still had her eyes closed, standing with one hand behind her back, her white and green interwoven hair swaying in the wind, astonishingly beautiful.
“Begin!”
As soon as the Referee’s voice fell, Zheng Yuan instantly burst out at full speed, leaving an afterimage, and crossed to Jun Liuhe’s front in one step, his long sword aiming straight for her chest.
A simple, unadorned strike, imbued with countless hours of practice and experience. If it were Xia Jiuyuan on the arena, Xia Jiuyuan would undoubtedly have lost.
But it was Jun Liuhe on the arena. She opened her eyes at this moment, and her gaze precisely met the extremely fast sword tip,
Her feet moved slightly, her waist twisted, and the sword blade grazed past.
Although Zheng Yuan seemed to look down on Jun Liuhe before the fight, he showed no complacency in the actual combat,
After all, a Fairy who could cultivate was unusual in every aspect.
His combat quality was very high, and he seemed to have anticipated that Jun Liuhe could dodge this thrust. The moment the sword tip was thrust out, his arm had already changed its force, turning what looked like a thrust into a slash, and sword energy once again pressured towards Jun Liuhe’s throat.
However, unexpectedly, Jun Liuhe directly reached out her jade hand to grab the approaching sword body!
Wang Ji, Fang Hao, and Le Yunzhe watching from the sidelines all frowned,
Bang!
Her slender jade hand firmly gripped the sword body!
Zheng Yuan’s mind buzzed at this moment. He truly couldn’t believe this person could grab his sword with her hand,
More formidable in Body Tempering than Body Tempering Peak?
By what right? Was she really Third Rank?
But his combat instinct made him respond quickly,
A surge of spiritual energy rapidly erupted, coiling around the sword, and the next moment, it ignited Jun Liuhe’s jade hand,
Then he used his strongest ultimate technique,
Sword Intent, Fire Serpent!
The crimson flame, like a serpent, bared its fangs, coiling up Jun Liuhe’s arm, seemingly aiming straight for her face,
But a faint smile appeared on Jun Liuhe’s lips. She elegantly watched the approaching Fire Serpent,
This scene stunned Zheng Yuan. By the time he reacted, he found that Jun Liuhe’s other hand had, at some unknown time, already grabbed the little fire snake that had coiled up to her wrist,
“Zheng Yuan surrenders!”
Wang Ji, who was watching from the side, shouted to Fang Hao. But at the same moment he shouted,
Jun Liuhe tightly gripped her jade hand, the Fire Serpent shattered, and then a powerful aura separated the two. Fang Hao appeared,
The entire battle lasted only a few seconds.
Jun Liuhe dropped the sword in her hand. Her fair and slender hand looked a little red and slightly injured, but without any apparent wounds,
Looking at Zheng Yuan, he had lost consciousness, with blood flowing from his seven orifices.
Seeing Zheng Yuan’s miserable state, Wang Ji questioned her:
“You did that on purpose?!”
Jun Liuhe glanced at Wang Ji, then ignored him and said to Fang Hao:
“Now, Arena No. 41 challenges Arena No. 31.”
“Holy cow, holy cow, what a good Junior Martial Sister! You—what the hell, okay, I’ll get No. 31 ready.
Uh… if possible, please don’t do this again. If something like this happens, we Referees will be held responsible.”
Jun Liuhe nodded, jumped off the arena, and walked towards the dumbfounded Lucky Peak members,
“Junior Martial Sister Jun is so amazing! I want to challenge too. Uh… I’ll challenge No. 44!”
Li Le excitedly rushed towards Arena No. 44, as if he were the one who had won,
Duan Shahe also smiled, “Since Junior Martial Sister Jun is so stable, I won’t be watching here. After all, it’s nap time now.”
Meanwhile, Mo Mo on Arena No. 52 completed her creation at that moment,
On the Canvas, a ferocious Jun Liuhe was crushing the little fire snake, and the pitiable Zheng Yuan was spewing blood from his seven orifices,
She murmured to herself:
“As expected, works should be artistically processed to have value. I truly love this Martial Arts Grand Competition.”
On the other side,
Fang Hao patted the gloomy-faced Wang Ji and comforted him:
“Don’t be angry, Brother Wang. In the end, Zheng Yuan started this.”
“I know, but—”
“Brother Wang! If you ask me, you shouldn’t have bothered with this matter. You are not only a genius of Sword Peak but also a genius of our Ask Dao Sect.
While the existence of Lucky Peak is indeed questionable, don’t you feel that Sword Peak’s performance is also too strange?”
“I can’t even be bothered to respond to what you’re saying. Setting aside the facts, right… never mind, I’ll investigate the internal matters of Sword Peak.”
With that, he dragged the unconscious Zheng Yuan away.
Fang Hao shook his head and returned to Xia Jiuyuan’s side, asking again:
“I think Junior Martial Sister Jun is an absolute Dark Horse. Do you want me to promote her further?”
“Whatever.”
“Alright then, I’ll do my best on my own. Goodbye.”
After bidding farewell to Fang Hao, Le Yunzhe hesitantly said, “This Junior Martial Sister of yours… um, Brother Xia, be careful of Junior Martial Sister Jun.”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“Brother Xia might not know what your Junior Martial Sister just did.
How should I put it? The one she was dueling with just now wasn’t Zheng Yuan, but Fang Hao.
Her initial goal was how to cripple Zheng Yuan under Fang Hao’s protection, not to defeat him.”
“Cripple? What happened to Zheng Yuan?”
“His long-cultivated Sword Intent was shattered so absurdly. It will take time to recover, at least he’s out for this week.
And most importantly, such a result could make him waver in his own Sword Intent. If his mindset truly changes… then he might be truly crippled.
That’s why I say to be careful of Junior Martial Sister Jun. You should know, even if she had chopped off Zheng Yuan’s arm, our Ask Dao Sect could have treated him that day, but it was precisely this kind of psychological attack.”
Le Yunzhe shook his head, seemingly afraid that Xia Jiuyuan would provoke Jun Liuhe and suffer brutal retaliation.
But this was entirely Zheng Yuan’s fault. Jun Liuhe’s personality was indifferent; most of the time, if you provoked her, she wouldn’t even bother to respond.
As a result, Zheng Yuan insisted on attacking Jun Liuhe’s race…
Xia Jiuyuan looked at Jun Liuhe, who was standing with her eyes closed on Arena No. 31,
“It’s fine, Junior Martial Sister is actually very well-behaved and obedient.”
Hearing this, Le Yunzhe’s mouth twitched, wearing an expression of “good advice is wasted on the stubborn,”
“Uh… alright, as long as you know what you’re doing. I’ll be leaving now. When you have time these few days, come by my place.”
“Okay.”
After saying goodbye to Le Yunzhe, Xia Jiuyuan looked at Jun Liuhe again, but inexplicably thought of Mo Mo, and couldn’t help but shiver,
It’s fine, it should be fine… right?
