Chapter 041 Battle
Lin Fei's words immediately caused a sensation.
The nephews and nieces who accompanied the elders of each family were all exceptionally talented. Now, Lin Fei's attempt to take on three opponents single-handedly, while greatly boosting the Jade Emperor Sect's prestige, inevitably led others to believe he was boasting.
"Good lad, you actually dare to take on three opponents at once. You truly deserve to be the most outstanding figure in this sect competition of our Jade Emperor Sect!"
"Hehe, if he really takes on three opponents at once and greatly boosts the prestige of my Jade Emperor Sect, even if Yuanzhen wants to deal with him, I'm afraid the Sect Master won't agree."
"A risky move indeed! I'm afraid he's no match for those three families!"
……
Even Master Yongcheng frowned and said, "Mingxin, don't be overconfident in fighting three against one!"
This was exactly the effect Lin Fei wanted. If he defeated the three major forces in front of the entire Jade Emperor Sect, even if Yuan Zhen was unwilling, he wouldn't dare to easily attack him in the future.
As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. It's definitely not a good thing that Yuanzhen, as the head of the sect's conduct, holds a grudge against me. Today, I will establish my reputation so that he will be hesitant to act against me in the future!
He remained silent until the moment he spoke, and now he has made a stunning debut. Lin Fei has been lying low in the Demon-Subduing Tower for three years; today is the time for him to soar to new heights!
Lin Fei clasped his hands in a fist and said to Master Yongcheng, "Sect Leader, rest assured. If I am defeated and disgrace the Jade Emperor Sect, I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Seeing his confident demeanor, Master Yongcheng had no choice but to nod and say, "Very well, if you win, I will reward you with another thousand-hammered treasure!"
Lin Fei solemnly bowed to Master Yongcheng and then returned to the square.
Previously, his opponent was Ming Tong, with whom he had a deep friendship of several years. Now, however, it has become a member of one of the three major powers in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Du Ziming of the Du family in Jiangxia, Qu Xin of the Dajiang Gang, and Ye Jian of Baiyun City, whose arm was once broken by his own family.
None of these three people is easy to deal with.
Du Ziming, one of the most outstanding figures among the younger generation of the Du family, also appeared to be a man of integrity. He cupped his hands in greeting and said to Lin Fei, "Brother Mingxin, we are already at a huge advantage, three against one. I observe that your cultivation is only at the Great Perfection of Qi Accumulation, so we will also suppress our cultivation to the Great Perfection of Qi Accumulation. If it exceeds the Great Perfection of Qi Accumulation, then we will be defeated."
"Truly worthy of being the Du family of Jiangxia, a descendant of the Benevolent Sage!" Even though Lin Fei was prepared to fight to the death, seeing Du Ziming's composure, he couldn't help but admire him. He then turned to the other two and asked, "What do you two think?"
The Great River Gang, hailed as one of the four great gangs in the world, commands the entire Great River. This seemingly unruly gang sent Qu Xin, a remarkably beautiful woman. Her eyes sparkled, and she covered her mouth with a light laugh, saying, "Although our Great River Gang is a rough and unruly group, we wouldn't do such shameless things. Just as Brother Du said, I will suppress my cultivation to the Qi Accumulation Realm!"
Seeing that the two had agreed, Ye Jian, though unwilling, couldn't say anything more for the sake of Baiyun City's reputation. He could only nod in agreement, but in his heart he thought viciously, "Hmph, one against three, even with suppressed cultivation, do you think you can turn the world upside down? I'll seize the opportunity later and cut off one of your arms to avenge that day!"
The three men formed a triangular formation, surrounding Lin Fei in the middle. Lin Fei secretly gathered his strength, his muscles tense, and cupped his hands in greeting to the three men: "Please, gentlemen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he charged towards Qu Xin of the Dajiang Gang like a hunting cheetah.
Even with his confidence, he wasn't certain of victory against three opponents. He wouldn't foolishly wait for them to attack first. Strike first, or suffer the consequences. He would use swift and decisive action to defeat one of them first, then eliminate the other three one by one. His first target was Qu Xin of the Great River Gang!
"Ding!"
"The Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique's perfected attribute—Nine Heavens Net activated! The Nine Heavens Net leaves no place undetected. Each use of the Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique increases attack power by 5%. If the attack is interrupted, the martial arts' power is reduced by 50%!"
……
Even though his opponent was a woman, Lin Fei showed no mercy and immediately used his Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique, which he had already mastered.
Mingxin was clearly surprised by Lin Fei's swift movements. She quickly took a few steps back, and at the same time, a silk sleeve appeared in her hand. With her true energy surging, she covered Lin Fei's fist and palm.
"Flowing Clouds and Flying Sleeves?" Lin Fei felt as if he had struck a soft ball of cotton with his palm. He let out a soft hum, and his skin faintly glowed with purple light: "Shattering Heaven Palm!"
The Shattering Heaven Palm from the Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique uses immense power to shatter any enemy that tries to block its path. With a sharp "rip," the silk sleeve in Qu Xin's hand was instantly shattered into several pieces by Lin Fei.
Qu Xin's face turned pale. Seeing Lin Fei's palm already in front of her, she could only say, "Master Mingxin, you have quite the skill. I have lost!"
Since Qu Xin had already admitted defeat, Lin Fei naturally wouldn't kill her. He withdrew his hand and struck back with two "bangs," deflecting the two long swords that were about to reach his back.
Du Ziming and Ye Jian were only a moment too slow, and Lin Fei seized the opportunity to defeat Qu Xin in one fell swoop. What was originally a one-against-three situation was instantly reduced to just the two of them.
On the viewing platform, apart from Yuanzhen, whose face was as black as iron, all the other abbots and elders of the Jade Emperor Sect, including the sect leader Yongcheng Zhenren, had joyful expressions on their faces.
"Not bad, not bad at all! This kid's Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique is truly extraordinary!"
"This lad is brave and decisive, with extraordinary martial arts skills. He's destined for greatness!"
"It seems that after this battle, the younger generation of our Jade Emperor Sect will likely have a mark recorded on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking!"
……
In just a moment, Lin Fei had already taken down one of them, and the two remaining on the stage had different expressions.
Ye Jian's face was extremely ugly. He had his arm broken by Lin Fei earlier, and he was deeply wary of Lin Fei. Even in a three-on-one situation, he hesitated and dared not make the first move. But he did not expect that he had only hesitated for a moment, and Lin Fei had already seized the opportunity to defeat Qu Xin.
Du Ziming stood with his sword, repeatedly exclaiming, "Coming like thunder and calming its fury, departing like the still blue light of the ocean. Brother Dao's Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique is truly extraordinary!"
Unlike Ye Jian, Du Ziming was, by all accounts, an extremely upright gentleman. The Du family of Jiangxia were descendants of the Benevolent Sage, one of the ancient sages. They had allowed Lin Fei to gain the upper hand earlier because they didn't want to strike first when outnumbered. Naturally, Lin Fei wouldn't speak ill of such a gentleman, but simply cupped his hands and said, "I was merely quick-witted and had gained the upper hand temporarily. I hope Brother Du will show mercy later."
