Chapter 52

Seeing the situation, Gu Xin hurriedly pulled Huang Yu aside and whispered, "Are you crazy? He is at the Primordial Spirit Realm, while you are only at the Human Infant Realm. The gap is so huge, how can you fight? He will kill you."

"Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t know my limits. Since I dared to accept the challenge, I have the confidence to protect myself. You don’t need to worry about this," Huang Yu smiled and said.

"Self-protection, what do you have to protect yourself? Do you think that just because you can hold on during a fight with me, you can really fight a Primordial Spirit Realm warrior? You are too naive. The gap between the Primordial Spirit Realm and the Human Infant Realm is enormous. Moreover, you are only at the early stage of the Human Infant Realm, and you are not a match for him at all. Don’t be foolish, Nian Shangcheng is not a good person, he will really kill you," Gu Xin said anxiously.

"Are you afraid? If you are a coward, a pretty boy, and not a man, you can choose to run away." Seeing Gu Xin so concerned about Huang Yu and pulling him around, he was extremely jealous, as if there were thousands of worms gnawing at his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Nian Shangcheng, you are really shameless. Huang Yu is only at the first layer of the Human Infant Realm, while you are at the first layer of the Primordial Spirit Realm. A Primordial Spirit Realm warrior actually challenges a Human Infant Realm warrior and speaks so arrogantly. I think you are not a man, you are a coward," Gu Xin said angrily.

Originally, Gu Xin brought Huang Yu out to use him as a shield. She detested Nian Shangcheng to the extreme. If Nian Shangcheng were only at the Human Infant Realm, with Huang Yu’s cultivation and talent, he could resist without any danger to his life. But what Gu Xin did not expect was that Nian Shangcheng had broken through and reached the Primordial Spirit Realm. The gap was too large. The Primordial Spirit Realm and the Human Infant Realm were like a huge chasm. Although the True Essence did not increase much, the way of fighting and the control of True Essence had undergone a tremendous change. This was why there was an unbridgeable gap between the Primordial Spirit Realm and the Human Infant Realm.

"Right, Nian Shangcheng, you are really shameless. A Primordial Spirit Realm warrior actually challenges a Human Infant Realm warrior and speaks so arrogantly. It’s embarrassing. If you want to fight, I will fight with you." At this moment, a loud voice came from the side.

The crowd made way, and the man walked straight to the front.

Huang Yu saw that this man was the one previously referred to as Yin Feng, the 15th strongest person on the Earth List of Seven Waters City, at the second layer of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Although his cultivation was higher than Gu Xin’s, his ranking was lower, which was due to Gu Xin’s dual Water and Wood attribute constitution.

"Yin Feng? Do you think I’m afraid of you?" Seeing Yin Feng stand up for Huang Yu, Nian Shangcheng was extremely angry.

At this moment, Gu Xin whispered in Huang Yu’s ear, "His name is Yin Feng. He practices the Yin Family’s Dominant Body Technique, is skilled with a saber, and his saber techniques are superb. He is a disciple of the saber master, Heng Wuheng."

Yin Feng used a saber, and Huang Yu felt a bit more favorably towards him. Just for standing up for him, it was enough to make him want to be friends with him.

"Not afraid, that’s even better. My saber hasn’t had a good taste of blood for a long time," Yin Feng held his long saber in front of his chest, smiling as he looked at Nian Shangcheng.

"Hmph, Yin Feng, don’t think you can be arrogant just because you entered the Primordial Spirit Realm earlier than me. Others may be afraid of you, but I, Nian Shangcheng, am not." Nian Shangcheng stared at Huang Yu and said, "Boy, you are Huang Yu, right? Today is your lucky day that Yin Feng is standing up for you."

"Hmph, Nian Shangcheng, don’t think you can be arrogant just because you have some cultivation," Huang Yu retorted, "Don’t be too arrogant. You are just at the beginning of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Your strength is not enough to make people fear you. If you want to fight, let’s fight. Dealing with a small fry like you is nothing."

Huang Yu held the Purple Extreme Sword in his hand, looking at him coldly.

"Brother Huang, you are right. He is just a small fry, not worth your effort. Let me handle it. If I can’t, then Brother Huang can step in later," Yin Feng smiled and stepped forward, looking at Nian Shangcheng with disdain.

Huang Yu smiled, knowing that he was doing it for his own good. After all, his cultivation was only at the early stage of the Human Infant Realm. With such cultivation, it was absolutely impossible to fight a Primordial Spirit Realm warrior, even if the opponent had just entered the Primordial Spirit Realm and had not stabilized his cultivation. However, Huang Yu shook his head and said, "Brother Yin, thank you, but since the other party has said so much, retreating is not my style. Moreover, a man must be decisive. If someone bullies you, you must fight back, hit them hard, and show no mercy."

"Boy, you are asking for death."

"Who is asking for death is yet to be seen. I said, even though you are at the Primordial Spirit Realm, you are nothing special to me. I will kill you like a chicken or a dog," Huang Yu said coldly.

"I want to see if your strength is as great as your mouth." Nian Shangcheng was so angry at Huang Yu’s words that he trembled with rage, looking at Huang Yu with intense killing intent.

Such killing intent surprised Huang Yu. This guy must have killed a lot of people; otherwise, he wouldn’t have such intense killing intent. If it were an ordinary person who hadn’t experienced life-and-death battles, they would really be scared by this killing intent.

"Good sword, if I kill you, that sword will be mine." Seeing the Purple Extreme Sword in Huang Yu’s hand, Nian Shangcheng’s eyes were filled with hatred and greed.

"I hope you can still be so arrogant later." Huang Yu took a big step forward, and the crowd scattered, leaving a large open space in the middle for the two to fight.

"That Huang Yu is really bold, daring to challenge a Primordial Spirit Realm warrior with just the Human Infant Realm cultivation. Even though he is just at the beginning of the Primordial Spirit Realm, it’s still a huge gap from the Human Infant Realm," someone exclaimed.

"Right, this young man has great courage. Just for this, I support him," another person said.

"What courage? This is asking for death, not knowing the limits," some praised, while others criticized.

"Pity, that young man has good potential and is skilled in stone gambling, but I didn’t expect him to be so foolish. Nian Shangcheng is ruthless and will definitely kill him," someone sighed.

"You can’t say that. Since he dared to accept the challenge, it means he has the confidence to protect himself. The outcome of this battle is still unknown. Who knows, this young man might really be able to challenge a higher realm," an old man with a white beard, dressed in a green coarse robe, and a gourd hanging from his waist, squinted his eyes, took a sip from his gourd, and said.

Suddenly, the open space in front of the Lingyun Tower was surrounded by people, layer upon layer, making it water-tight.

And Huang Yu suddenly became famous, though no one knew his true strength, the news of him challenging a Primordial Spirit Realm warrior with just the Human Infant Realm cultivation spread like wildfire.

"Sword Technique, One Sword to Take a Life."

As Huang Yu approached, Nian Shangcheng’s originally narrowed eyes suddenly opened. His hand moved in a blur, and the long sword was instantly drawn, so fast that the human eye couldn’t see it, and it stabbed directly at Huang Yu’s throat.

If it were another Human Infant Realm warrior, they would have no chance to dodge and would surely die on the spot. But Huang Yu was not an ordinary person. Although the sword was fast, it did not escape his detection. The moment Nian Shangcheng drew his sword, Huang Yu reacted, slightly tilting his body to avoid the fatal strike.

At the same time, the Purple Extreme Sword in Huang Yu’s hand moved.

"Thunder Dragon’s Wrath."

The long sword in his hand instantly shone with a purple light, which transformed into a purple thunder dragon, charging towards Nian Shangcheng, illuminating the entire area. The terrifying lightning made the air around them seem to be sucked away.

Seeing Huang Yu’s Thunder Dragon’s Wrath, Nian Shangcheng’s face changed drastically. This boy dared to accept the challenge because he had a trump card. This move was powerful, not inferior to a second-layer Primordial Spirit Realm warrior.

Nian Shangcheng didn’t have time to return his sword, and his feet dodged. His left hand turned into a palm, gathering all his True Essence, and he struck out, trying to disperse the terrifying purple thunder dragon.

"Crack..."

"Zzz..."

Although this palm gathered all of Nian Shangcheng’s True Essence, Huang Yu’s attack was not that simple. This was a lightning attribute attack, enhanced by the Purple Extreme Sword. Thunder Dragon’s Wrath was not a simple attack, even though it was a high-level human-grade skill, it was far more powerful than ordinary human-grade skills.

The palm hit the thunder dragon’s head, seemingly dispersing it, but the thunder dragon broke into pieces and merged into Nian Shangcheng’s left hand. The terrifying lightning power entered his body through his left hand, wreaking havoc inside, rupturing his meridians. His left hand was effectively crippled, and his internal meridians were also severely damaged.

He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and was blasted away.

This exchange happened in a split second. Before the crowd could react, they saw Nian Shangcheng being instantly blasted away.

It wasn’t until Nian Shangcheng fell heavily to the ground that the crowd reacted, their eyes wide open, as if they couldn’t believe what they saw. One was at the early stage of the Human Infant Realm, the other at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, and the one who was blasted away was not the Human Infant Realm warrior but the much stronger Primordial Spirit Realm warrior.

Incredible, too incredible.

Gu Xin and Yin Feng were even more astonished. They didn’t expect Huang Yu to be so strong, blasting away the early-stage Primordial Spirit Realm Nian Shangcheng with just one move, so clean and decisive. Looking at Nian Shangcheng, he was seriously injured and had no strength to fight back.

Was it a dream? Or an illusion?

"Unbelievable, Nian Shangcheng was actually blasted away?"

"Heaven, am I hallucinating?"

"How is this possible? Could it be... Could it be that the long sword in Huang Yu’s hand is not a fake earth-grade weapon but a real earth-grade weapon?"

"Earth-grade weapon, definitely an earth-grade weapon. Otherwise, how could he defeat Nian Shangcheng, a Primordial Spirit Realm warrior, with just Human Infant Realm cultivation?"

In an instant, the scene exploded, like a large stone thrown into a calm pond, causing a huge wave.
