Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: The Arrogant Chase Wind

As the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling face. Although Yin Hanyan was inwardly quite displeased, she was, after all, a senior figure and couldn’t afford to take offense at a junior.

So, she let out a cold snort and didn’t press the issue further. However, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of worry because, from what Chase Wind had implied, he was here to participate in the marriage recruitment as well.

Sure enough, after cornering Yin Hanyan with his words, Chase Wind continued, "I’ve heard that this time it’s Senior Song from your esteemed sect who is recruiting a husband. To be honest with you, Senior, I’ve long admired Senior Song, so I hope you’ll do me a favor and let me join the competition."

"You’re too late. The registration has already ended," Yin Hanyan said coldly.

Chase Wind’s talent was extraordinarily outstanding; he had already reached the late Soul Fusion stage just after turning a hundred.

Before Song Nianyao came into the limelight, his talent was recognized as the best in the Zhenxu Realm, second only to the Lotus Fairy.

If he were to participate, there would be no chance for anyone else, not even the super genius. Although the super genius had much stronger talent than Chase Wind, he hadn’t fully matured yet. It would be nearly impossible for him to withstand even ten moves from Chase Wind.

Chase Wind smiled faintly, "Senior, you’re mistaken. I’m aware of the qualifications for this competition, and I believe I meet the standards. If I can’t participate just because I arrived a bit late, then can it be considered a marriage recruitment open to the entire realm?"

Given Yin Hanyan’s personality, if she were alone, she would have taken action and defeated him on the spot, even if Chase Wind had the backing of that one powerful figure. However, as the head of a major sect, her every move affected the entire Cuiyan Sect.

Moreover, Chase Wind had a point. So, despite her inner irritation, she reluctantly nodded and said, "Very well, you have the qualifications. Go wait for the draw."

Seeing that he had successfully cornered the Great Perfection cultivator Yin Hanyan, Chase Wind couldn’t help but show a hint of triumph on his face.

His behavior became even more brazen as he laughed wildly, "Why bother with a draw? Today, I, Chase Wind, will accept challenges right here. Even a round-robin battle is fine. Whoever can defeat me, I’ll consider myself the loser!"

Upon hearing this, almost everyone in the square felt that this guy was way too arrogant. However, no one spoke up.

After all, this was a world where strength was paramount. Moreover, Chase Wind had a mentor who was the number one cultivator in the Zhenxu Realm.

Besides, his open challenge, though arrogant, wasn’t against the rules and could even be seen as a bit of a disadvantage for him.

The participants exchanged glances, and for a moment, none of them dared to step up to the challenge, not even the two other late Soul Fusion cultivators.

As the saying goes, a person’s reputation precedes them, just like a tree’s shadow. Although Chase Wind was arrogant, he had the talent to back it up.

The two late Soul Fusion cultivators knew that their chances of defeating him were probably less than twenty percent. Even if they won by luck, they would make a powerful enemy, which wouldn’t be worth it.

After waiting for a while and still seeing no one step up, Chase Wind laughed loudly, "Since none of you are willing to teach me a lesson, I, Chase Wind, won’t be polite anymore!"

"Don’t be so arrogant, I’ll take you on!" As soon as Chase Wind finished speaking, someone shouted and leaped onto the stage.

However, it wasn’t from the over-a-hundred-years-old group, but a less-than-a-hundred-years-old cultivator at the initial Soul Fusion stage.

"You? You think you can challenge me!" Chase Wind contemptuously glanced at the person who had stepped onto the stage, showing utter disdain.

Anyway, at least someone had stepped up. A Cuiyan Sect disciple acting as the referee then stated the rules, "The challenger is at the initial Soul Fusion stage, and the challenged is at the late Soul Fusion stage. If the challenger cannot defeat the challenged within ten moves, the challenger is considered the loser."

"Ten moves? That’s way too many. Watch me take you down in one move!" Chase Wind impatiently waited for the Cuiyan Sect disciple to finish speaking, then immediately started to provoke, not even bothering to ask the challenger’s name. He directly asked, "Kid, are you ready?"

Although the challenger dared to step up, he was well aware of the vast gap in strength between himself and his opponent. So, he quickly took out a treasure sword, gripped it tightly, and prepared for the battle, "Come at me."

Chase Wind let out a cold snort. The flying sword on his back automatically unsheathed itself and flew straight at the challenger without any flourish.

The challenger didn’t dare to be careless and swung his sword to block. However, Chase Wind’s strike was unexpectedly powerful. It shattered the challenger’s treasure sword and then, without pause, struck him in the chest.

With a loud "boom," the challenger didn’t even have time to let out a scream before being knocked flying. Although he had blocked with his sword and had true energy protecting his body, Chase Wind’s flying sword didn’t directly pierce his chest. But that single strike was enough to leave him in a near-death state.

No one in the audience expected Chase Wind to strike with such force. Therefore, they were all caught off guard. As the challenger was about to fall off the stage and lose his last breath, a figure shot up into the sky, caught him mid-air, and saved his life.

The one who stepped in to save him was none other than Ye Fei, who had been sitting on the sidelines. Since no one else had dared to step up, Ye Fei admired this man’s courage. Moreover, the challenger was falling in his direction, so he casually caught him and fed him two recovery pills to keep him alive.

"Thank you, brother..." The saved man weakly thanked Ye Fei, but his gaze was directed towards the direction where Yin Hanyan and her disciples were, his eyes filled with affection and reluctance.

At this moment, several female disciples of the Cuiyan Sect rushed over and said to Ye Fei, "Leave him to us. Rest assured, we will do our utmost to heal him."

Since the incident happened during the marriage recruitment, the Cuiyan Sect naturally had the responsibility. Moreover, they were also quite annoyed with Chase Wind, so they naturally felt a sense of solidarity and took a liking to this challenger.

Ye Fei nodded, handed the man over to the female disciples, and then sat back down, turning his attention back to the stage.

At this point, most people were still in shock. On one hand, they were astonished that Chase Wind had struck with such severity. On the other hand, they were amazed by his strength.

The two late Soul Fusion cultivators were sweating coldly.

Chase Wind was just too powerful. If they were to step up, they wouldn’t even have a fifty percent chance of winning. It seemed that although this guy was very annoying, his talent was indeed impressive.

Just over a hundred years old, he had already reached the peak of the late Soul Fusion stage and might even advance to the Great Perfection stage within ten years.

After a while, the Cuiyan Sect female disciple acting as the referee finally came to her senses and said with a cold expression, "Chase Wind, didn’t you go too far with your attack?"

"Once on the stage, one must be prepared to die. If they have the ability, they can strike me with the same force," Chase Wind said nonchalantly, then added, "What are you waiting for? Announce the result already!"

Although the female disciple was very annoyed, this was a fair competition, so she had to announce, "Challenge failed, Chase Wind wins!"
