Chapter 732: Cunning Ye Qiu (Third Update)

Ji Clan.

A message had reached every ear of the younger generation of the Ji Clan.

Anyone who challenges Ye Qiu and defeats him will receive a reward from the family.

The moment this news was out, the younger generation of the Ji Clan became extremely agitated.

"Who is this Ye Qiu? Is he that formidable? I’ve never heard of him before." A young disciple who had been in seclusion for several months emerged without having heard Ye Qiu’s name. In fact, there were quite a few like him; they devoted themselves to breakthroughs in martial arts through repeated periods of seclusion. Although Ji Lingchen was the pride of the Ji Clan, there were many others who were not inferior, just less conspicuous than him.

"Where’s Ji Lingchen? This time, I’m sure I can defeat him."

These newly emerged Ji Clan youths all intended to find Ji Lingchen, the strongest among them, to measure his strength. However, upon hearing such news within the clan, many immediately shifted their interest toward Ye Qiu. Ji Long was one of them and he was the quickest to act, sending a formal challenge immediately.

Following Ji Chuan, Ji Shan watched the younger generation bursting with fighting spirit, expressionless.

"Brother, now it’s good. Someone will teach that Ye Qiu a lesson on our behalf," said Ji Shan.

"These guys who just came out of seclusion, some are still at the same level of strength while others have improved quite a bit. However, to defeat that guy, there aren’t many who can do it," Ji Chuan replied.

Hearing Ji Chuan speak highly of others but belittle their own reputation, Ji Shan couldn’t help but say, "Is that Ye Qiu really so strong? I’ve seen many of our younger generation have greatly improved. Are they still no match for Ye Qiu?"

Ji Chuan had fought Ye Qiu before, and only through personal experience could one understand Ye Qiu’s prowess. He knew Ji Shan was still harboring resentment towards Ye Qiu, so he couldn’t help but advise, "Don’t rush your revenge; rest assured, I will let you kill him with your own hands."

"Mm, I know," nodded Ji Shan.

Having been beaten up twice by someone and losing his reputation, Ji Shan couldn’t endure the underground nickname "Ji Pighead" stirring among the younger generation of the ancient clans. Anyone who called him that name would receive a harsh beating.

When Ye Qiu’s response reached Ji Long’s ears, he became furiously enraged.

"Daring to compare me, Ji Long, to any tom, dick, or harry, how arrogant. But you won’t escape this battle. I will use you as a warm-up before defeating that Ji Lingchen," Ji Long declared with a bright glint in his eye.

The next day, Ji Long arrived at the courtyard where Ye Qiu was, carrying a large sword.

The surroundings had already gathered quite a crowd—since Ji Long wanted to lead the charge, naturally, others were willing to watch the battle before deciding whether to intervene.

Besides the Ji Clan members, youths from other ancient clans also came to witness this challenge.

Thud thud!

The courtyard’s main gate was pounded loudly; when Jin Shanshun pushed open the gate, he was startled by the crowd that had suddenly appeared—so many people.

"Where is Ye Qiu?"

called out Ji Long loudly.

"Hurry up and let him out. Someone is challenging him. Doesn’t he dare to accept the challenge?" Voices echoed from the crowd.

"Such a coward, didn’t he seize the opportunity in the Great Emperor’s tomb? Why won’t he show himself?"

"I think he’s scared. If not for relying on the large tree of Yun Shang Palace, he would have been killed long ago,"

Various voices mixed, most of them disparaging Ye Qiu.

"You all are blocking the doorway; have you all come to kill me?" A voice suddenly resounded above everyone, and at that moment, Ye Qiu’s figure slowly walked forward from behind Jin Shanshun.

Those who had just made disparaging remarks immediately shut their mouths.

If anyone dared to yell, they would likely become enemies of Yun Shang Palace right away. Making such a blatant move was indeed a provocation against Yun Shang Palace. This was clear to everyone, so after Ye Qiu’s indifferent remarks, everyone fell silent.

"Leave this to me," Ye Qiu stood in front of Jin Shanshun and whispered, then he stepped in front of everyone, looked at Ji Long, and said, "Do you want to challenge me?"

"Yes, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Ji Long stepped forward, his aura fierce, like a wild beast ready to unleash its claws.

Ye Qiu was unmoved, and said lightly, "I am willing to accept your challenge, but have you prepared your sincerity?"

"What sincerity?" Ji Long felt that Ye Qiu was troublesome; to challenge him, did he still have to offer something?

This thought merely flashed through Ji Long’s mind, yet in less than a moment, he was stunned.

He just heard Ye Qiu’s words in his ear, "Sincerity naturally involves treasures, such as ancient herbs, cultivation techniques, pills, etc., all of which can be considered as your sincerity to challenge me. Only with these can I agree to your challenge; otherwise, if everyone were to challenge me, would I not be exhausted to death?"

Ji Long was dazed for a while, finally understanding; it turned out this guy wanted these things as the fee for taking action.

That’s too shameless! How poor must you be to come up with such an idea?

Ji Long thought about leaving; he did not possess any herbs, cultivation techniques, or pills to offer to Ye Qiu. However, the thought of leaving had just arisen when he suppressed it again.

There were too many people around, and after making a big show about challenging Ye Qiu, retreating without fighting would have an impact. If it got out later that Ji Long was afraid and had run away, wouldn’t it be playing right into Ye Qiu’s hands?

"I don’t have any of those things you mentioned," Ji Long said.

"Then I’m sorry, I cannot accept your challenge," Ye Qiu waved his hand.

"You are a Martial Artist, and you’re backing down like this? You are a coward!" Ji Long shouted loudly.

However, this kind of provocation was insignificant to Ye Qiu, "If you don’t have sincerity, you don’t qualify to challenge me. If you want me to take action, prepare your sincerity and come back."

"Very well... How about I use my sword as sincerity? If you defeat me, this sword is yours," Ji Long didn’t want to be ridiculed by everyone, so in order to challenge Ye Qiu, he staked his own weapon.

Ye Qiu glanced at the broadsword on Ji Long’s back and could sense the sharp aura of the blade, which seemed no less than that of the Kusanagi Sword; it was a good weapon.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu revealed a smile and very politely said, "Brother Ji Long, you have this much sincerity, you should have said so earlier. Come on then, if you want to challenge me, let’s begin. I really like your sword."

Ye Qiu looked like he was admiring a beautiful woman, staring at the sword behind him, and Ji Long felt like he was challenging a madman. This guy had been cold and indifferent just a moment ago, but now his face was full of smiles; he really doubted if Ye Qiu genuinely wanted to accept his challenge, or if he just wanted his sword.

This battle unfolded in an instant.

Ji Long drew his broadsword, and the fight with Ye Qiu began, shattering everything around them instantly.

All the onlookers retreated explosively.

A while later, Ye Qiu happily carried the broadsword back, waving at Ji Long, welcoming him to challenge again next time.
