"Then, please forgive me, the three of you."
"Big brother, go easy on them, don't hurt the two young ladies. Even if you have to hurt them, please don't hurt their faces!"
Hua Zhi shouted loudly in the crowd, his excitement causing Zhang Yun's eyes to flash with a cold light.
From the moment he started flirting with Ye Qianzhi and Zhuo Xinyan, Hua Zhi was already on his kill list.
Ye Qianzhi completely ignored the two Hua brothers and turned to Zhuo Xinyan, asking, "Sister Xinyan, should you or I go for the first match?"
"Since Hua Yun is a sword cultivator from the Sword Pavilion, and I am also a sword cultivator, how about you let me have this battle first, sister?"
Zhuo Xinyan asked Ye Qianzhi in a questioning tone.
"Okay." Ye Qianzhi nodded gently, without saying anything more.
She knew that when a swordsman encounters another powerful swordsman, he will be unable to suppress his fighting spirit.
Although she couldn't fully empathize with that feeling, she still gave Zhuo Xinyan the respect she deserved.
Hua Yun frowned and stared at Zhuo Xinyan: "Miss Zhuo, are you sure you want to challenge me alone?"
This is no longer just a simple provocation.
This is blatant contempt!
"Let's begin." Zhuo Xinyan didn't want to waste words with Hua Yun, so she stood up and stood facing him.
Although she wasn't entirely confident in her ability to fight Tianhua Yun, who was at the peak of the eighth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, she was certain that she was qualified to fight him.
With her master watching from the sidelines, her life was naturally under strong protection.
In this way, she can focus wholeheartedly on her enemy and unleash her full potential and strength.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the people around the disciples of the Star Realm are indeed different. Their arrogance is something I have never seen before in my life."
Among the disciples of Sword Pavilion, the only one dressed in flamboyant attire, seemingly an infinitely charming woman, spoke sarcastically in a sarcastic tone.
In her opinion, it would be better if such a good-looking and blindly arrogant person died as soon as possible.
"Senior Brother, they underestimate you so much, so please don't go easy on them."
"Senior Sister Fang, how could you do this? Shouldn't men be gentle with women?" Hua Zhi pouted and said to Senior Sister Fang in a coquettish tone.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Two black lines immediately appeared on Hua Yun's head. He regretted bringing these two people along to embarrass himself.
"Since Miss Zhuo insists on this, then I, Hua, have no choice but to accompany her even at the cost of my life. However, I must remind you that swords are merciless. If I injure or accidentally kill you later, I hope you will not blame me when you are in the afterlife."
"Young Master Zhang, what are your thoughts?"
If it were anyone else, given Hua Yun's proud nature, he naturally wouldn't have asked such a question.
Zhang Yun was, after all, Gong Qi's prospective disciple. If Zhuo Xinyan's death angered Zhang Yun, it would indeed be a huge problem for Gong Qi.
"Since that's the case, Xinyan, you don't need to hold back anymore. Kill them if you can."
Zhang Yun smiled mysteriously. He knew Ye Qianzhi's strength well, but he didn't know much about Hua Yun's full strength.
If Zhuo Xinyan is truly defeated, then he, as her master, will certainly not be a mere figurehead.
Of course, it would be best if Zhuo Xinyan had the ability to kill Hua Yun, which would show that her swordsmanship talent far surpasses Hua Yun's.
Hua Yun shook his head. He had thought that Zhang Yun, as Gong Qi's disciple, must have extraordinary abilities and was a promising talent worth befriending.
But now it seems he was overthinking things.
These three individuals likely lacked combat experience, leading to overconfidence.
Since that's the case, he used his own strength and actions to sound the alarm for them.
Of course, whether this wake-up call will come at the cost of lives remains to be seen.
"Watch out, I'm about to make my move."
To avoid gossip and accusations of unfair victory, Hua Yun politely offered a reminder, which also revealed his strong self-confidence.
As soon as he finished speaking, the terrifying aura of the peak of the eighth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm instantly emanated from Hua Yun's body, faintly carrying a sharp and cold sword aura that swept through the void.
As one of the top talents in Jianglan Sword Pavilion, condensing sword energy was not a difficult task for Hua Yun.
However, condensing sword energy is something that ordinary sword cultivators can only hope to achieve by chance. Those who can condense sword energy are all geniuses among geniuses in the way of the sword.
Hua Yun did not show any mercy or let the other party make the first move, even though the other party's cultivation level was lower than his own and she was a woman.
His figure moved instantly, the sharp sword in his hand moved with the wind, its drawing and striking were incredibly smooth, like flowing clouds and water.
As the longsword trembled in his hand, it stirred up dazzling and terrifying sword flowers, densely packed and overwhelming.
In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to be drenched in a magnificent rain of pear blossom swords. My body contains countless worlds...

"puff--!"
Blood gushed out like a geyser. The burly man looked listless, his face as pale as paper. He knelt on the ground, clearly suffering a serious injury.
