Chapter 564: The Unity of Sword and Blade, Two Against One!
Since the Yan Family established the Death Battle Arena back in the day, there has never been a situation like this — a multi-combatant fight on the stage!
Not even a two-against-one situation was permitted!
But today, this rule was broken in the arena!
Moreover, it was Jiang Feng who insisted on having the last two disciples of Huangfu Qinggang attack him together!
"Kid, you're asking for it!"
Yang Chenggang stepped onto the stage and, with a clang, drew his personal blade.
Following closely, Wan Baolong also unsheathed his sword and stood beside Yang Chenggang to fight!
This scene was too much for Zhu Ge Yuheng to tolerate.
Two against one could be overlooked, but using weapons as well?
"Gentlemen!"
With an expressionless face, Zhu Ge Yuheng stood up and said calmly, "According to the rules of the Death Battle Arena, both parties either use weapons or don't. Now, Mr. Jiang is empty-handed, yet you two raise a knife and sword. Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Shut up! We are the damn rules, so stop your yapping!" Yang Chenggang shot a fierce glare at Zhu Ge Yuheng.
Zhu Ge Yuheng frowned and was about to say more, but Jiang Feng waved a hand and said calmly, "No problem, just let them use them!"
Seeing Jiang Feng had spoken, Zhu Ge Yuheng had no choice but to remain silent, giving the two men another glance before sitting back down.
"Jiang, you rely on Hard Qi Gong to counter our fourth junior brother's speed and ambushed our third junior brother unawares! I wonder if you can really beat the two of us brothers with your true skills?" Wan Baolong sneered at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng frowned; was this... underestimating him?!
Originally, Jiang Feng intended to swiftly finish off these two as well, to save time, but judging from this tone, quickly and neatly dispatching them might not be such a good idea—they might not accept defeat!
...
Below the stage.
Yan Family Patriarch Yan Huxiong and the lady Lei Lanzi sat together, watching as Huangfu Qinggang's last two disciples took to the stage. Yan Huxiong spoke lightly, "If Yang and Wan also lose this round, the Huangfu Family will fall into a passive position. Huangfu Qinglong probably never imagined that Jiang Feng would be even more troublesome than he thought!"
In fact, it wasn't just Huangfu Qinglong who hadn't expected this; nobody present, except for the few who knew Jiang Feng well, could have anticipated his formidable strength!
Deng Wenlong and He Bao, both somewhat renowned figures in the Provincial City, were like mere flies in front of Jiang Feng, swatted away with a wave!
At this moment, Yan Huxiong finally dared not inwardly ridicule his old in-laws anymore. Even the Yan Family would be troubled facing such a rare outsider!
Lei Lanzi's expression was equally unpleasant. She now understood that the fact her nephew and grandson both fell at Jiang Feng's hands was no coincidence; this was indeed no ordinary person!
"If, and I mean if, it all turns out as you say, not only Yang Chenggang and Wan Baolong losing to that Jiang, but also if Huangfu Qinggang fails, what should we do? Should we lend a hand to the Huangfu Family? After all, they're related..." Lei Lanzi asked.
"Help? How do we help?" Yan Huxiong replied indifferently, "We've only brought a few attendants over today, originally just to witness a slaughter. How can we help? Use our mouths?"
Lei Lanzi was at a loss for words.
"Watch and see. I have some confidence in Yang and Wan. After all, they've followed Huangfu Qinggang for several years, so they're likely stronger, and Huangfu Qinggang's facial expression hasn't changed much yet, indicating that he still has a strategy. There shouldn't be too big a surprise." Yan Huxiong snorted coldly and turned his attention back.
"Perhaps..." Lei Lanzi sighed, falling silent again.
...
"Uncle Fu, that little rascal is actually going to fight two people alone; what do you think?" Murong Qian asked Uncle Fu.
"Young Master Xiao Feng is on a roll right now. Even if it's twenty against one, he'll be fine, rest assured, Miss." Uncle Fu smiled slightly.
"I've never doubted him. This guy has always been invincible in my mind."
Murong Qian shook her head, chuckling, "I'm just jealous. Look at how many girls are here just to see him! Feng Yueji from West City, Mu Yanluo from North City, Situ Yan from South City...and several other beauties whose names I can't even remember! The more he shines, the more those girls are head over heels, making it harder for me!"
"Ahem, Miss, so that's what's been on your mind..." Uncle Fu couldn't help but laugh.
He hadn't expected Murong Qian to have already scouted out all the potential rivals in the viewing gallery, feeling a little jealous over Jiang Feng attracting so much attention from women...
However, this also indirectly proved that Murong Qian was not wrong in her judgment!
It's no big deal for one beauty to like a man; it's when all the beauties like the same man that it truly shows he's a treasure!
"Enough thinking, let's watch the fight!"
...
At this moment, on the platform, "Clang!" Yang Chenggang planted his treasured blade into the ground!
He stared arrogantly at Jiang Feng and said, "Jiang, listen well! This blade is called 'Swallowing Moon,' made of Earth Steel blended with Iron, severing heads as effortlessly as fetching items from a pouch! Rest assured, I will not cut you down with one strike; I will cleave you a hundred times, and only after a hundred cuts will you bleed to death!"
On the other side, Wan Baolong shamelessly displayed his sword, sneering, "This sword is named 'Silver Light,' slicing hair and steel as if it were mud! My quick sword specializes in breaking through your Hard Qi Gong!"
"Done with your nonsense?" Jiang Feng asked, unfazed.
"Heh, you can't wait, can you?! If you want to die, we'll grant your wish!!" Yang Chenggang cackled maliciously, and, in the next moment, he and his junior brother Wan Baolong moved simultaneously!
"Kill!!!"
Yang Chenggang attacked Jiang Feng from the left, gripping the handle with both hands, focusing all his Inner Strength into the blade, delivering a most powerful strike!
The blade cut through the air, carrying an irresistible momentum as it slashed forth!
Thud!!
With a loud crack, the aftershock of the blade cut a straight line two inches deep on the platform, extending right up to Jiang Feng's feet.
Wan Baolong attacked from the right, his swordplay swift. With a dazzling display, it was like a flurry of snowflakes slashing towards Jiang Feng!
Each stroke of the sword light carried piercing Sword Qi, shredding the air into disarray!
The blade and sword combined in their assault, the metallic clangs and Killing Aura instantly engulfed the entire stage, the cold gleam dazzling!
The spectators on the surrounding stands finally felt their hearts tighten!
After waiting so long, they were finally witnessing a truly skilled and exciting battle!
