Chapter 454: 0455 I’m coming to cut you down

Jiu Zang stared at Huangfu Jun, showing a trace of combat spirit. The opponent gave him an unfathomable feeling, a worthy adversary indeed.

Huangfu Jun was equally astonished. The Jiu Zang before him was like a colossal beast turned human. Although he seemed a quiet youth on the surface, his body appeared to harbor the energy to destroy heaven and earth.

It should be noted that he was a master who had comprehended the Martial Wall twice, yet he was unable to gauge his opponent’s depth. From this, it was clear that this young man from the island nation was not merely a figurehead.

"You are worthy of my challenge, and I am very much looking forward to fighting with you, but unfortunately, my opponent today is not you," Jiu Zang said in not-so-fluent Chinese.

Huangfu Jun remained unperturbed, "If you wish to fight, I am always ready."

Facing an opponent like Jiu Zang, Huangfu Jun also couldn’t help but want to fight. At his level, to break through, one must either seek opportunities or constantly spar with powerful adversaries to hone oneself. Otherwise, it would be difficult to take another step forward.

Huangfu Jun moved to one side. Among the other figures in the Ten Owls, except for those ranked at the very top, all maintained a distance from him, not daring to get too close, while Jiu Zang closed his eyes once more, waiting for Ye Qiu’s arrival.

"Could it be that Ye Qiu got scared and won’t dare to come? The face lost wouldn’t just be his but the entire Ten Owls’ as well," someone commented at that moment, voicing some hostility and dissatisfaction with Ye Qiu for not showing up yet.

Soon, others joined in, "Losing his own face is one thing, but facing a challenge from a Japanese martial artist and not even daring to show up, if this gets out, our martial arts community will be a laughingstock to the Japanese."

However, those who were prejudiced against Ye Qiu were in the minority. There were still some in the martial arts community who recognized Ye Qiu’s strength and spoke up in his defense, "Though Ye Qiu is only ranked tenth among the Ten Owls, his strength is certainly no less than those above him. I don’t believe he would hide just because he’s afraid to face a Japanese opponent. That’s not in his character."

Many nodded in agreement. After all, during the Ten Owls Challenge, many had witnessed Ye Qiu’s formidable power. How could he be so frightened by another warrior’s challenge to not show up?

At this moment, only a few elder witnesses of this imminent fight remained calm, conversing very little and mostly adopting an attitude of quiet anticipation.

With Ye Qiu still nowhere in sight, Meng Pengxiao let out a scornful laugh, "This Ye Qiu is getting worse and worse. I thought he would ascend substantially in strength after the challenge, but instead, he seems to have mastered the art of retreating completely. Did he comprehend some kind of ’Turtle Breathing Technique’ at the Martial Wall...haha..."

Meng Pengxiao’s laughter was loud, indifferent to the people around him. Having his strength greatly enhanced after the experience at the Martial Wall, and after intensively refining his latest techniques these days, the confident Meng Pengxiao believed he could easily defeat Ye Qiu if they were to clash again.

Lei Ting, Feng Jian, and Li Futu stood together, both showing a bit of distaste for Meng Pengxiao’s arrogance, feeling that he was overdoing it. After all, Ye Qiu was currently representing the martial arts community, and by belittling him, he was in fact demeaning the entire martial arts community as well.

No one paid attention to Meng Pengxiao as he satirized with cold laughter on his own.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Many grew bored and began to feel that perhaps, as Meng Pengxiao had suggested, Ye Qiu was indeed too frightened to come.

"He will surely show up," said a woman in a blue martial artist uniform not too far from the crowd, frequently looking back, her mind constantly echoing a single name.

Lan Bing, the daughter of Lan Xiaosheng, president of Zhongshan University’s martial arts club, and a prominent figure at the school. Many male students idolized her as a goddess. Several boys courted her at school, but Lan Bing had never considered them, solely because those childish students could not compare to him.

As a father, Lan Xiaosheng understood his daughter’s thoughts completely. Thus, when he learned that a young master from the island nation had issued a challenge to Ye Qiu, he brought his daughter here immediately, rather than letting Lan Bing be constantly distracted, her training not as focused as before.

Seeing that the time was about to exceed the agreed duration for the fight, Fujikawa Ueno sneered, "Ye Qiu, if you don’t dare show up, prepare yourself to be ridiculed by everyone."

Just as Fujikawa Ueno finished speaking, Jiu Zang suddenly opened his eyes and directed his gaze towards the distance. Simultaneously, Huangfu Jun, Feng Jian, Luo Tie, and other ten towering experts felt a powerful aura approaching.

A figure, from far to near, was not running but merely stepping lightly. Yet, within a few breaths, he had arrived in front of everyone.

His appearance was not particularly handsome, but a smile was lightly playing at the corners of his mouth. He radiated an air of indifference; it was indeed Ye Qiu.

"I apologize for keeping everyone waiting." Ye Qiu bowed apologetically to the martial arts seniors looking at him. After nodding to Chen Yifeng and Elder Jin, among others, he scanned the area and saw Meng Chong, Lan Bing, and a few familiar faces. On either side stood members of the ten owls, all eyes fixed on him.

"The aura has strengthened." Ye Qiu briefly glanced at the other nine members of the ten owls, roughly judging that each had grown significantly stronger, his gaze finally rested on Meng Pengxiao for two seconds.

Because Meng Pengxiao harbored hostility towards him, he was currently staring at him with a cold sneer.

Ye Qiu withdrew his gaze and then seriously regarded the young top-tier expert who had come from Japan, Jiu Zang.

"Ye Qiu?"

"Jiu Zang!"

As the two men’s gazes collided, the air around them suddenly became tense, as if two shadows had stepped out from behind them and were continuously clashing in mid-air.

Outsiders could not perceive it, but Chen Yifeng, Elder Jin, and Taoist Qian Zhen, among other seniors, could see that Ye Qiu and Jiu Zang were engaging in a spiritual showdown.

"This youngster’s spiritual power is incredibly strong!" Chen Yifeng exclaimed. When he felt Ye Qiu’s spiritual power, it seemed to him like a sharp blade capable of cutting through everything, while Jiu Zang’s spiritual power was like a shield. Their clash was a test to see whether the blade was sharp enough or the shield was strong enough.

"This young man from the island nation is not to be underestimated. In the younger generation of martial artists, very few have achieved such a level of spiritual power. I didn’t expect that Ye Qiu would be his equal; truly, the new waves push the old waves forward!" Elder Jin mused.

The clash between Ye Qiu and Jiu Zang was something the strong could appreciate, while the weak would merely watch for entertainment.

The members of the ten owls, even Meng Pengxiao, now had a more solemn expression by three degrees when looking at Ye Qiu, his face slightly twisted as he thought, "Was that spiritual power emitted by him?"

No one answered Meng Pengxiao, but seeing each of the ten owls’ members, it was clear that everyone had distinctly felt the imperceptible confrontation that had commenced as soon as Ye Qiu and Jiu Zang met, each feeling differently, profoundly astonished by Ye Qiu’s formidable spiritual power.

As the involved parties, both Ye Qiu and Jiu Zang were equally stunned by each other’s strength. The encounter was brief and dangerous, but even if one of them had emerged victorious in their spiritual power, it would not determine the outcome of the fight that followed.

The attack of spiritual power ultimately had its limits. At their level, unless one specialized in methods that enhanced spiritual power, it would not cause real harm to the opponent.

"You’ve arrived, you haven’t disappointed me." Jiu Zang stated flatly.

"I have come as you requested, to cut you down. I now stand before you, make your move!" Ye Qiu responded nonchalantly, taking a step forward, ready to fight Jiu Zang’s challenge!
