Chapter 318: 0317 Ye Qiu’s Debut (Fourth Update)

Shangguan Dao, accompanied by Shangguan Mingyue, approached the battle arena of the North-South Martial Arts Tournament.

Shangguan Mingyue’s eyes were filled with curiosity as she observed the martial artists before her.

Initially, nobody noticed their arrival, since a staggering challenge had just concluded, and everyone was still engulfed in the aftermath of Tang Yao’s formidable performance. It wasn’t until a martial artist inadvertently turned around and his gaze accidentally fell upon Shangguan Mingyue’s face that he was struck with awe.

"What a stunning beauty," the young martial artist’s eyes gleamed as he stared at Shangguan Mingyue as if she were the world’s most delectable feast.

Shangguan Mingyue frowned slightly, disliking the way she was being scrutinized.

Shangguan Dao quickly stepped forward, blocking the man’s view, and coldly said, "Scram."

"Hey, who do you think you are? If you know what’s good for you, just let me watch. Don’t disturb me while I’m appreciating a beauty; I’ve never seen such a woman before." The young man blurted out without restraint, displaying a fierce countenance towards Shangguan Dao.

Without a word, Shangguan Dao kicked swiftly, aiming right between the man’s legs.

The young man had not expected the person before him, who looked even younger than he, to dare make a move. Unfortunately, he didn’t react in time. The vicious kick to his groin made him suffer terribly; no matter how high his martial arts skills were, a kick to the vitals was unbearable for anyone.

Instantly, the young man screamed in agony, drawing the attention of many onlookers.

"You’re courting death!" Despite the pain, under the scrutiny of the crowd and with the stunning Guan Mingyue in front of him, even if his "tool" below was good as dead, he still gritted his teeth, resolved to teach this youngster a lesson.

He threw a punch with ferocity, but Shangguan Dao’s hand flashed with a sudden glint of light, and blood sprayed as the martial artist screamed again.

They saw that one of his fingers had been cut off in an instant. It was only then that he noticed the sharp dagger in Shangguan Dao’s hand, too swift for him to see clearly when his finger was severed.

"If you dare offend further, I will sever all ten of your fingers."

"You... you just wait..." Knowing he was no match for Shangguan Dao, the young man beat a hasty retreat, not forgetting to leave behind a few harsh words.

"Little Dao... We won’t have any trouble, right?" Shangguan Mingyue was only bewildered for a moment and did not blame Shangguan Dao for harshly punishing the man; instead, she was worried about potential troubles.

"Aunt, rest assured, as long as I, Shangguan Dao, am here, no one will dare to touch a single hair on you," Shangguan Dao said with a smile, showing none of the icy demeanor he had just displayed to the fleeing young martial artist when addressing Shangguan Mingyue.

"What a swift blade," someone exclaimed in admiration after observing Shangguan Dao.

Where had this skilled youth come from, and why hadn’t they seen him in the matches earlier?

The martial artists who had noticed Shangguan Dao and Shangguan Mingyue were sizing up the pair. Shangguan Dao’s actions were ruthless, showing not an ounce of the kindness attributed to men of chivalry, while Shangguan Mingyue’s beauty was breathtaking, nearly a miracle of the creator, indescribably stunning.

While the martial world was not without its lecherous fiends, most were gentlemen who did not act frivolously.

As Shangguan Mingyue and Shangguan Dao mingled into the crowd, the martial artists gave way, clearing a space for them, especially after seeing Shangguan Dao’s expression and deciding it was best not to provoke him lightly.

The dark horses that emerged in today’s challenge were terrifying enough; who knew whether this youth was as bizarrely skilled as those before him. Angering him would likely bear no good fruit.

Shangguan Dao quickly established his authority, and it proved effective immediately. After all, in the martial world, strength speaks loudest, and no one would willingly provoke a fearsome enemy for no reason.

As they drew closer, Shangguan Mingyue’s view became clearer. She gazed at the figures in the center, and suddenly, her gaze sharpened.

He was here!

Shangguan Mingyue suddenly realized that Ye Qiu was also in the midst of the martial arts competition, and upon seeing Ye Qiu’s figure, she found herself momentarily entranced.

Ye Qiu, standing in the center of the battle arena, didn’t notice the gaze Shangguan Mingyue cast his way. He was watching his opponent, who had just finished regulating his breath and was almost fully recovered, feeling it was time to make his move.

The opponent tilted his head up slightly and saw Ye Qiu standing in front of him, and spoke, "You want to challenge me?"

"If you’re afraid, you can decline my challenge. If you haven’t recovered yet, I can give you more time," Ye Qiu said indifferently.

"Quite arrogant!" The opponent snorted with a smile and immediately stood up. The two men’s aura exploded in an instant, neither yielding to the other.

"Look, Ye Qiu has made his move!"

Seeing Ye Qiu challenge his opponent, members of Dragon Group shouted excitedly, and the rest of the Dragon Group’s members turned their attention to Ye Qiu.

Lin Wurou, Mu Zhige, and Li Xiaohu all showed delight on their faces; they knew why Ye Qiu was challenging his opponent—he must want to crush his opponent’s arrogance and avenge the deceased Yuan Zongguang.

"You must defeat him and show him our Dragon Group’s prowess," shouted the members of the Dragon Group.

"Avenge Yuan Zongguang, Master Ye, I support you!"

Shouts of encouragement kept coming. Ye Qiu smiled knowingly upon hearing them, while his opponent showed disgust, muttering under his breath, "A bunch of small fry that can only cheer, how noisy."

Gradually, the opponent’s gaze lifted slightly, adopting a superior attitude as he looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Are you one of them?"

"That’s right, I’m a member of the Dragon Group," Ye Qiu admitted unabashedly.

"Hehe, I heard your Dragon Group has a skilled master. That wouldn’t happen to be you, would it?" The opponent’s gaze suddenly took on a new meaning. Although he didn’t know the extent of Ye Qiu’s abilities, Ye Qiu didn’t seem particularly powerful from his aura.

"You talk too much. Whether it’s me or not, you’ll know if you try," Ye Qiu replied indifferently.

Crack, crack...

Suddenly, the opponent’s fingers emitted a cracking sound. He relaxed his palms, then gripped them tight again, as if he was warming up for exercise.

"It seems you’re trying to seek revenge against me, ready to meet an early demise... If I don’t fulfill your wish now, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be right," said the opponent slowly.

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you with one blow. I will torment you slowly to see if any other members of your Dragon Group dare to step up."

"I don’t mind taking down a few more members of the Huaxia Dragon Group."

The opponent’s words were incredibly boastful, the confidence embedded in his bones and the overt disdain in his eyes clearly revealed that he did not take Ye Qiu seriously.

"Are you done talking? After I defeat you, I still have to challenge others, so please make it quick," Ye Qiu said.

The opponent turned his head to look and found that Ye Qiu hadn’t listened to a word he’d said, having silently appeared in the center of the battlefield.

"Hehe, you’ve got some skill, but that’s all!"

The opponent became slightly angry in his heart but didn’t show it on his face. His body blurred, and in an instant, he was standing opposite Ye Qiu.

Immediately, everyone’s gaze fell upon the two of them.
