Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 690: Chapter 689: Yue Qianfeng Defeated

Gongye Xuan stepped onto the arena and said with a light smile, ”I’ve heard that the Divine Farmer Sect recently enlisted the help of an expert, a figure who was once on the Earth Rankings. Although I am not particularly skilled, I would like to experience the strength of an Earth Rankings expert!”

Immediately, the scene erupted into a commotion; although there were one or two Sovereigns within these sects, truly being listed on the Earth Rankings was something none had achieved.

For the Great Sects, an Earth Rankings expert was an existence they could only look up to.

With Gongye Xuan’s entry, choosing to challenge an Earth Rankings expert as his first opponent naturally excited everyone present.

What kind of progress had Gongye Xuan made in his strength to dare such arrogance, directly challenging Yue Qianfeng?

Elder Jeang turned to Yue Qianfeng and bowed, saying, ”Master Yue, please take the trouble to fight!”

”No problem,” Yue Qianfeng nodded calmly and stepped forward directly.

All eyes at the venue focused on Yue Qianfeng; after all, he was an Earth Rankings expert!

Many were whispering among themselves, wondering who would win or lose in the battle between Yue Qianfeng and Gongye Xuan.

Gongye Xuan watched Yue Qianfeng ascend the arena and a cold smile passed over his lips, ”Master Yue, long time no see. Are you planning to fight on behalf of the Divine Farmer Sect?”

”That’s right!” Yue Qianfeng replied calmly.

Gongye Xuan laughed heartily, looking up, ”Master Yue, you’re not one of our Medical Cultivator Sect, yet you interfere in the affairs of the Divine Physicians Alliance, which is inappropriate of you. Moreover, you can’t even make the right choice, actually going to help the Divine Farmer Sect? Master Yue, you must know that one can’t defy the greater trend. What you’re doing is utterly pointless, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!”

Yue Qianfeng furrowed his brows and said coldly, ”Sect Leader Gongye, the match hasn’t even started yet, and you think you’re certain to win? What greater trend that cannot be defied? Is your Medical Saint Sect supposed to represent that trend? I don’t necessarily see it that way!”

Gongye Xuan replied with a light smile, ”It seems Master Yue doubts the strength of our Medical Saint Sect. It’s not surprising, after all, you were once an Earth Rankings expert. Although you’re no longer seen on the Earth Rankings now, you still have the dignity of an Earth Rankings expert. How about this, I’ll give you some face and defeat you within ten moves, how does that sound?”

Upon saying this, the entire venue erupted into an uproar.

This was Yue Qianfeng, once an Earth Rankings expert. Though he had now fallen off the rankings, having been listed once was a glory in itself.

Gongye Xuan actually declared he would defeat Yue Qianfeng within ten moves - where did this confidence come from?

It was well known that, in this fight between Gongye Xuan and Yue Qianfeng, people actually didn’t favor Gongye Xuan that much. After all, Gongye Xuan was primarily a healer, and although he was a Sovereign, he had never been listed on the Earth Rankings, unlike Yue Qianfeng, a true master born from real combat. What did Gongye Xuan have to contend with Yue Qianfeng?

Moreover, to dare to claim to defeat Yue Qianfeng within ten moves was quite an overstatement!

Yue Qianfeng’s brows were tightly knitted; he couldn’t understand where Gongye Xuan’s confidence came from.

”Ten moves!?” Yue Qianfeng said coldly, ”Gongye Xuan, do you really think I’m so easily bullied?”

”Sorry, but I truly haven’t taken you seriously!” Gongye Xuan said with a laugh, ”If I can’t defeat you within ten moves, then consider it my loss, how about that?”

”Outrageous!” Yue Qianfeng roared in anger, and without wasting words, he charged straight at Gongye Xuan, his hands formed into claws and swiftly reaching for Gongye Xuan.

Facing the ferocious Yue Qianfeng, Gongye Xuan simply smiled slightly. Then suddenly, he leaped into the air, his entire being like a Shadow Phantom as he instantly surged in front of Yue Qianfeng.

Yue Qianfeng never expected Gongye Xuan’s speed to be so fast that he couldn’t react in time, and could only let out an angry shout, quickly moving his hands to counter and grabbing at Gongye Xuan with all his strength.

With a casual press on Yue Qianfeng’s wrist, Gongye Xuan swiftly shifted away, dodging Yue Qianfeng’s attack.

A sense of shock filled Yue Qianfeng’s heart, as he finally realized that Gongye Xuan wasn’t just boasting—his strength was indeed formidable.

Yue Qianfeng dared not take any chances and immediately unleashed his Eagle Claw Technique, chasing after Gongye Xuan to strike.

Gongye Xuan, like a ghostly specter, drifted around Yue Qianfeng. Although his speed was fast, Yue Qianfeng, after all, was a former high-ranking expert of the Earth Rankings and had to fully engage in response to the fierce onslaught.

Standing at a distance, Su Yang saw Gongye Xuan make his move and knew that Yue Qianfeng was bound to lose this battle. Gongye Xuan’s strength was much greater than Yue Qianfeng’s.

If it had been the previous Yue Qianfeng, he definitely wouldn’t have lasted more than ten moves against Gongye Xuan.

However, after taking the Spiritual Medicine provided by Su Yang, Yue Qianfeng’s internal injuries had healed, and his strength had also improved a lot. Now, it was impossible for Gongye Xuan to defeat Yue Qianfeng within ten moves.

As expected, after fighting for a while, Gongye Xuan began to sense that something was amiss.

In fact, ever since he learned that the Divine Farmer Sect had enlisted Yue Qianfeng’s help, Gongye Xuan had specifically researched Yue Qianfeng’s martial arts techniques. He found several flaws in Yue Qianfeng’s techniques and had practiced for several days just to defeat Yue Qianfeng cleanly and decisively in this battle, to astonish everyone.

With the flaws he had researched, defeating Yue Qianfeng within ten moves was not a problem at all.

But after fighting for so long, he suddenly discovered that the flaws in Yue Qianfeng’s techniques had disappeared. The countermeasures he had meticulously prepared were now unable to be put to use.

This made Gongye Xuan panic, especially since it was already the ninth move. If he couldn’t defeat Yue Qianfeng by the tenth move, how would he face the outcome?

Yue Qianfeng had already launched his ninth move, letting out a loud roar, ”The ninth move!”

The eyes of everyone in the arena tensely focused on the two fighters. The tenth move was coming up, but judging by the current situation, it was highly unlikely for Gongye Xuan to defeat Yue Qianfeng.

Gongye Xuan gritted his teeth, dodged Yue Qianfeng’s strike, and immediately circled to Yue Qianfeng’s back, launching a surprise attack.

Yue Qianfeng, already on guard, roared through gritted teeth, ”The tenth move!”

As he spoke, Yue Qianfeng’s body turned into a Shadow Phantom, rushing out swiftly and escaping from in front of Gongye Xuan.

With this move, Gongye Xuan’s strike missed its mark. That meant, with the tenth move over, Yue Qianfeng hadn’t been defeated—had Gongye Xuan lost?

Just at that moment, suddenly, a burst of light appeared, enveloping Yue Qianfeng.

Yue Qianfeng, who had turned into a rushing Shadow Phantom, seemed as if he were frozen in place by a spell of immobilization, fixed in mid-air.

Seizing the opportunity, Gongye Xuan rushed forward and struck a palm directly at Yue Qianfeng.

Yue Qianfeng was sent flying, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood as he hit the ground.

The crowd erupted into commotion, Gongye Xuan’s face wore a triumphant smile as he proudly laughed, ”Ten moves, just right! Yue Qianfeng, you’ve lost!”
