Chapter 2113: Pinnacle Showdown
in our Assassin's Guild is Death." The waitress said solemnly, "However, assassins who reach the level of Death are extremely rare. In our entire Kunlun continent, there are only a handful of them.""...The final match can be said to be the peak battle of this rookie ranking competition, naturally attracting much attention.
Moreover, both individuals held special positions. Needless to say, Tuo Ba Yang, with his status as a prince, attracted widespread attention wherever he went.
And Ye Bufan, ever since he entered the competition, has been the center of attention on the entire field. Until now, no one has seen how powerful his cultivation truly is, naturally attracting the attention of countless people.
Tuo Ba Yang leaped onto the stage, and cheers erupted from the audience below.
He was originally handsome and dashing, renowned far and wide. Coupled with the fact that it was his home turf, he naturally enjoyed immense popularity.
"The crown prince, he's so handsome, the crown prince will surely win..."
"The First Prince is a renowned martial arts prodigy of our Great Xing Empire. The championship belongs to him without a doubt..."
"The Crown Prince will surely win, the Crown Prince is the pride of our Great Xing Empire..."
The cheers of the people rose like waves, one wave after another.
Countless young girls screamed with excitement. If not for his special status, and the fact that one couldn't become a princess by marrying him, they would all be clamoring to marry him.
Even Tuo Ba Hongyi on stage, looking at his own son, nodded slightly and showed a satisfied expression.
Tuoba Yang's eyes held a proud smile. He thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention.
In contrast, Ye Bufan's entrance was much simpler and more low-key. He walked step by step up the steps towards the sword testing platform.
His entrance, though not as boisterous as Tuo Ba Yang's, still drew the attention of countless people.
Zhang He sat on the reviewing stand, appearing calm on the surface. However, the two hands hidden in his sleeves were already clenched into fists.
Whether the other party could successfully obtain the Red Yuan Fruit would determine whether he could become a normal man, but all he could do was this. In the end, it still depended on Ye Bufan himself.
The three elder by the side were much calmer, their faces showing more expectation.
Looking forward to Ye Bufan bringing them more surprises, the stronger his strength, the more hope he will bring in the upcoming Genius Demon Competition.
Beneath the stage, Liu Yijian was also paying close attention. After all, his sister was counting on Bu Tian Dan to cure her illness.
Of course, the people from Shuidumu University were all eagerly anticipating Ye Bufan creating a miracle.
Soon he walked onto the sword-testing platform and stood opposite Tuo Ba Yang.
"I never expected that you would have the opportunity to stand beside this prince."
Tuo Ba Yang still wore an air of superiority, brimming with arrogance.
"To be defeated by me is an honor in itself. You'll soon see that the gap between us is not just a matter of status, you are inferior to me in every way."
I will not be defeated by you, nor do I desire the glory you speak of.
"Just wait, you'll see, in everything else besides identity, we are worlds apart."
Even as they spoke, Ye Bufan's face remained serenely smiling, yet his eyes held a sharp glint, unwavering and steadfast.
Tuoba Yang's eyes flashed a cold light: "Such an arrogant little one, I hope you can be as tough as your mouth."
"Now you may begin," the referee beside them said.
Once he finished speaking, he waved his hand and the competition officially began.
"Boy, endure my wrath!"
Tuo Ba Yang roared, and took the lead.
I saw him leap into the air, his two palms striking out in quick succession, transforming into a myriad of palm shadows that instantly engulfed Ye Bufan.
He may be arrogant, but his attacks are merciless. Even those watching from below could feel the sharpness of his palm strikes.
"The First Prince is so amazing, he's truly a martial arts genius of our Great Xing Empire..."
The crowd erupted in cheers once more.
A flash of fierce light crossed Ye Bufan's eyes, he didn't back down at all, and his fists directly blasted out.
A series of muffled thumping sounds came, Ye Bufan's every punch landed accurately on Tuoba Yang's palm. In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of moves.
Ye Bufan still stood there with a calm expression, while Tuo Ba Yang's face was full of shock, his previous arrogance vanished.
He kept his hands behind his back, subtly fidgeting with his fists inside his sleeves. His hands were now both red and swollen from the fight, and he had fully realized the opponent's strength after that exchange.
Both of them were at a similar level of cultivation, but Ye Bufan's mastery of the Fire Baptism Body Tempering Scripture had reached a small success. In this kind of hard-hitting confrontation, he naturally had a great advantage.
"Kid, didn't expect you to be hiding this deep!"
In the previous match, although Tuobaiyang saw that the opponent was a body cultivator, he didn't expect him to have reached the peak of the Refining Void realm. As soon as they fought, he suffered a hidden loss.
"Ye Bufan said with a smile, 'Do I have any hidden talents You just can't see them.' "
In fact, he didn't hide his cultivation like Jiang Fangzhou and others. His true cultivation was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and his physical refinement cultivation was invisible to outsiders.
"Kid, don't think that just because you have some body refinement techniques you're anything special. Today I'll show you the strength of this prince."
Upon finishing his words, Tuo Ba Yang's aura surged explosively. In the blink of an eye, he seemed to grow noticeably larger.
And his entire body turned blood red, muscles contorting beneath his skin, gleaming with a metallic sheen and radiating an incredibly powerful aura, as if he had suddenly been possessed by a mighty warrior.
Blood Slaughter Technique, this was a Heaven-Rank martial art he bought at an auction for a hefty sum. It could gather blood qi and in a short period of time, allow one to shape an extremely powerful physical body, not inferior to that of a cultivator who specializes in physical refinement.
But this hastily learned technique has its own drawbacks, namely, it consumes a great deal of energy. After this battle, I'm afraid I'll need to recuperate for some time.
"Kid, take my punch!"
With a roar, he unleashed a powerful punch, causing the surrounding air to swirl. A crimson glow slammed directly into Ye Bufan's chest.
The Yin Qi of the Blood Slaughter Art was extremely potent, the entire sword-testing platform filled with a swirling miasma. Even the spectators around felt a chill run down their spines.
"What a domineering skill!"
Beneath the stage, Liu Yijian couldn't help but shrink his pupils. He asked himself if he were in that position, facing Tuoba Yang's move, he probably wouldn't be able to resist it either.
Ye Bufan still did not back down, and with another punch, he met it head-on.
Two fists collided with a deafening boom that echoed throughout the Royal Training Grounds. Both men staggered backward several steps.
This punch resulted in a draw, the only difference being that Ye Bufan's fist was now covered in a layer of striking red, clearly indicating that he had been infiltrated by the Blood Fiend Qi.
Tuo Ba Yang's face broke into a smug grin. "Boy, do you know the might of this prince now"
"Kneel and beg for mercy right now, or when the evil energy takes hold, even the gods won't be able to save you!"
"Is that all you've got You're nowhere near good enough!"
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, a flash of lightning flashed in his hand. The originally eerie blood red disappeared and returned to normal.
Tuoba Yang's expression changed instantly: "What kind of kung fu is this"
"Try it and you'll see!"
Ye Bufan finished speaking, and with a punch, his fist was now covered in dense blue electric arcs. There were faint sounds of thunder and wind, it was the inheritance skill of the Dragon King's Palace - Rumbling Palm.
As the saying goes, thunder can subdue evil, and the Blazing Thunder Palm happens to be the nemesis of the Blood Fiend Technique.tage of the mall by herself, letting Ye Bufan enter the mall alone.Ye Bufan strode inside.
