Chapter 175 - 121: Fierce Battle with a Half-Step Great Grandmaster, Dragon’s Song of Rivers and Mountains!
A refined man descended from the sky, his aura as deep as an abyss, seemingly wrapped in the power of the heavens.
Hovering three feet off the ground, his feet never touching the earth, a folding fan gently waved in his hand. He appeared elegant and friendly, causing Du Yuying and the others to turn pale with shock.
A Great Grandmaster?
Even Xu Yan’s face changed, his expression became serious.
“Great Grandmaster? Wait, no, he seems a bit off. Is it because he’s too weak? A trash Great Grandmaster?”
The man in the purple clothes possessed an aura much like that of a Great Grandmaster, but Xu Yan, who had crossed swords with other Great Grandmasters, quickly noticed something was amiss.
“This celestial aura from a notable Great Grandmaster is much weaker, though still powerful, it’s not invincible. However, defeating him will not be easy.”
“Could this be a trash Grandmaster? Is there such a weak Great Grandmaster?”
While Xu Yan seemed serious, he was also confused.
Could there be such a weak individual among Great Grandmasters?
“Even the weakest Great Grandmaster has ten times the strength of a Grandmaster. This one, however, only has about five or six times the strength of a Grandmaster Martial Artist, much less than the tenfold standard.”
“Even if we were to take the weakest Grandmaster, Yan Kuan for example, he still does not possess ten times the power.”
Xu Yan let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
The opponent was not invincible.
However, he was puzzled. Why was this Great Grandmaster so trashy?
Du Yuying stepped out of the carriage, looked at the man in the purple robe, frowned slightly and finally said, “Master Yin Hong of Canglan Island?”
“Indeed!”
Yin Hong smiled faintly, “Since girl Du knows me, she should obediently come with me.”
Yan Kuan emerged from the carriage, his face pale. His injury was not healing well, and in his current condition, he could hardly handle a Martial Artist of a top-class rank.
If Yin Hong were to strike, he could easily be killed with a single strike.
“Master Yin Hong, are you intending to interfere in the Du Family’s affairs? Aren’t you afraid that once this situation resolves, the Great Grandmaster of the Du Family will surely come demanding an explanation!”
Yan Kuan spoke gravely.
“Since I, Yin, have decided to take action, naturally, I do not fear the Great Grandmaster of the Du Family. Moreover, I am taking girl Du away on behalf of someone else, and naturally, I can handle the matter properly.”
“Otherwise, would I, Yin Hong, dare to step into this place and take away Miss Du of the Du Family?”
Yin Hong spoke with a faint smile.
“Master Yin, you should think carefully. You’re only a Half-Step Great Grandmaster. Even if you finally break through to Great Grandmaster, you should consider whether you can bear the wrath of the master of the Du family!”
Yan Kuan glared furiously.
The other party had stepped into the Du family’s territory and taken ATiss Du hostage.
Given the master’s temperament, even if someone intervened, he would not let the matter rest.
Yin Hong’s face darkened, he coldly said, “You, a third-rate Grandmaster, what qualifications do you have to criticize me in my presence? Do you wish to die?”
“You!”
Yan Kuan’s face turned pale with rage. If it were an ordinary Grandmaster who insulted him like this, he would surely offer a seventh-grade Spiritual Medicine to get Xu Yan to fight and vent his anger.
But, this was a Half Step-Great Grandmaster.
Only a step away from Great Grandmaster. After all, Xu Yan was just a Grandmaster Martial Artist.
No matter how strong he was, he might not be able to handle it.
Yin Hong’s aura grew even more formidable, his cold voice said, “Girl Du, I do not wish to kill, obediently leave with me, or else… including your hired protector, they will all die here!”
Du Yuying’s heart sank. She took a deep breath and said, “Alright, I can go with you!”
“Miss!”
Tears streamed down Cui’er’s face.
“Cui’er, remember to give the owed Spiritual Medicine to this young man.”
Du Yuying instructed.
“Yes, Miss!”
Cui’er had tears in her eyes.
“It’s best to recognize the situation and keep the peace.”
Yin Hong laughed softly.
Just as he was about to take Du Yuying away, a voice rang out in his ears, and he felt humiliated!
“You startled me. I thought you were a Great Grandmaster, but it turns out you are just a Half-Step Great Grandmaster, simply half-baked!”
Xu Yan had an enlightened look on his face.
He had been wondering why this Great Grandmaster was so weak.
Compared to the Great Grandmasters he knew, the difference was too huge.
So he was just half-baked, even though he had part of the power of a Great Grandmaster, he was not a true Great Grandmaster.
In that case, he had nothing to fear!
Ever since he arrived in the Inner Domain, he had lulled one Grandmaster after another, all of them killed by a single palm strike, none had forced him to use his true power.
This Yin Hong was a worthy opponent.
“I have comprehended the true meaning of the Dragon’s Roar, but the Sword Intent of Mountains and Rivers is not fully developed. Just as mountains and rivers can never be silent, I already have a direction for improvement.”
“What is lacking is a worthy opponent who can resist my Sword Intent. If 1 can have a real battle, I will surely be able to complete it, and furthermore, comprehend a Sword Dao based on Sword Intent!”
Xu Yan was excited at the moment.
Yin Hong had a cool expression on his face. What did he mean by ‘one who couldn’t break through the Great Grandmaster level in one breath was just half-baked’?
Was it implying that he was a waste?
Being stuck at the Half-Step Great Grandmaster realm had always been a source of regret in his heart.
Now that he was being ridiculed face to face, how could he not be angry?
The air turned frigid with his killing intent for a moment.
“Kid, you’re seeking death!”
Yin Hong unfolded the fan in his hand, a tremendous aura descended, a layer of shocking power surged from him as the center.
The thundering sound even carried the echoing of roaring waves.
Du Yuying’s face changed drastically.
Xu Yan was all eager to give it a go, but he didn’t forget, this was Du Yuying’s enemy, he couldn’t make his move for free.
“Miss Du, once I help you out, this half-baked practitioner has quite formidable strength, much stronger than an ordinary Grandmaster, a seventh-grade Spiritual Medicine is not enough!”
Xu Yan said with a serious look.
Du Yuying was overjoyed, since Xu Yan was willing to make his move, it meant that he could confront a Half-Step Great Grandmaster..
