Chapter 34

~~

Du Han Yue is a Sixth Rank Warrior, while Ye Zhong is merely a Fifth Rank Warrior. No one believed that Ye Zhong would win, not even the people of the Ye family had much hope. However, now, when Ye Zhong unleashed a forbidden technique, and the sword shadow shot towards Du Han Yue in an instant, they saw the hope of victory!

As long as Ye Zhong defeated Du Han Yue, the Ye family would not only be able to keep the ancestral land in North Mountain Bay, but the Du family would also have to withdraw from all the industries the Ye family was involved in.

The Ye family members never expected that the Three Tribulation Killing Sword would actually turn into a forbidden technique!

The young nobles watching the scene were all stunned, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the two people on the training ground. Could they be witnessing a legend of a lower-rank challenge? A Fifth Rank Apprentice defeating a Sixth Rank Apprentice? This battle would shake the entire Qingyue City!

"Forbidden technique! Damn it! When did the Ye family acquire a forbidden technique?!" The faces of the Du family members were all incredibly grim, but only three of them remained calm.

Those three were the head of the Du family, Du Yuanming, General Zhou Wu from the City Lord's Mansion, and Dong He from the Linghe Chamber of Commerce. They all clearly knew Du Han Yue's strength!

With the mastery of a forbidden technique, Ye Zhong naturally had the qualifications to defeat an ordinary Sixth Rank Warrior, but Du Han Yue was not an ordinary Sixth Rank Warrior. He was an outstanding Sixth Rank Warrior who had once defeated three Sixth Rank Warrior realm experts in a joint battle!

Ye Zhong could defeat an ordinary Sixth Rank Warrior with a forbidden technique, but he could not defeat Du Han Yue!

"High-level Spirit Technique, Green Vine Armor!"

"High-level Spirit Technique, Black Gold Body!"

Facing the ancient sword shadow emitting a sharp aura, Du Han Yue's face showed a serious expression for the first time. His mental power surged wildly, driving the primordial energy to quickly draw divine patterns. In an instant, he unleashed two high-level Spirit Techniques.

The divine patterns suddenly condensed, spreading across the training ground. In the faint misty glow, a green ancient vine armor suddenly appeared in front of Du Han Yue. At the same time, under the green vine armor, Du Han Yue's skin instantly glowed with a golden metallic luster, as if his flesh and blood had turned into solid metal.

Pfft!

In an instant, Du Han Yue unleashed two high-level Spirit Techniques. As the green vine armor covered his body, the ancient sword shadow already broke through the air and slashed towards him. Accompanied by a sharp tearing sound, the ancient sword shadow tore through the green vine armor and continued to slash towards Du Han Yue.

However, when the ancient sword shadow tore through the green vine armor, its speed and sharp aura were greatly weakened. When it slashed towards Du Han Yue again, its power was only about one-third of its peak state.

Clang!

Accompanied by a metallic clashing sound, the ancient sword shadow slashed onto Du Han Yue's face, which was glowing with a faint golden light, splashing a series of sparks.

It was like a sharp divine sword slashing onto hard steel!

The ancient sword shadow dissipated, leaving a shallow blood trail on Du Han Yue's face.

"Forbidden technique... Good! Very good!" Blood trickled down his face, Du Han Yue slowly raised his hand, wiped away the blood, and his face was frighteningly calm, with no emotional fluctuations in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Du Han Yue actually blocked this killing blow!

"Forbidden technique, huh? Very good, indeed worthy of the long-standing Ye family! However, it's not just you who knows forbidden techniques!" Du Han Yue's expression was cold, his tone calm, as he stared straight at Ye Zhong, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. He slowly extended his finger, with mental power swirling at the tip, and primordial energy quietly surging from his dantian.

The primordial energy formed divine patterns, and Du Han Yue drew each one with great solemnity. Each time he completed a pattern, a powerful primordial energy force would spread out, creating ripples in the air, and a scorching heat surged forward.

"Forbidden technique, Thousand Dance Fire Butterflies!" Du Han Yue's face suddenly turned abnormally flushed, and 136 divine patterns condensed in an instant.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!—

Between the 136 divine patterns, the primordial energy flowed rapidly, transforming into fire butterflies with transparent wings and glaring flames.

The butterfly wings vibrated, stirring up scorching gales. In an instant, a hundred fire butterflies rushed madly towards Ye Zhong.

Each fire butterfly was only about three inches long, but their momentum was extremely shocking. The Ye family members below the training ground, seeing the fire butterflies covering the entire sky, all changed their expressions.

"Thousand Dance Fire Butterflies technique, Du Han Yue actually cultivated the Du family's forbidden technique!" Ye Zhengqing's face turned pale. Ye Zhong's performance had far exceeded his expectations, but facing Du Han Yue, who also cultivated a forbidden technique, he was probably powerless.

As one of the three major noble families in Qingyue City, the Du family naturally possessed forbidden techniques. However, the backlash of forbidden techniques was very severe, and most noble families did not allow their younger generations to cultivate them, especially geniuses like Du Han Yue.

If a forbidden technique was used, it could shake the foundation of martial arts, making it a loss. Therefore, although the Ye family knew that the Du family had several forbidden techniques, they never expected Du Han Yue to cultivate one!

"Thousand Dance Fire Butterflies technique... Cousin Han Yue is too impulsive. Is it necessary to use a forbidden technique for just a Ye Zhong? Ye Zhong is merely a Fifth Rank Warrior, and even if he masters a forbidden technique, his mental power and primordial energy are far inferior to Cousin Han Yue!"

"Once Ye Zhong's primordial energy is exhausted, it would be easy to kill him, right?" General Zhou Wu from the City Lord's Mansion and Dong He from the Linghe Chamber of Commerce both shook their heads slightly. After all, Du Han Yue was still too young and impetuous.

No matter how talented Du Han Yue was, after using a forbidden technique, it would take at least two to three months to recover, which was a significant loss!

Du Yuanming looked at Du Han Yue, his face somewhat grim. Du Han Yue was the strongest of the younger generation in the Du family, with the best talent, and had a good chance of breaking through to the Condensation Essence Realm before the age of thirty. Wasting two to three months of cultivation time for just a Ye Zhong was not a wise move in Du Yuanming's view.

"Idiot! Ye Zhong is merely a Fifth Rank Warrior, and he is fighting for the Ye family's ancestral land. It's normal for him to use a forbidden technique to fight for his life. But why did you, Du Han Yue, use a forbidden technique? The backlash of a forbidden technique is not easy to bear. Originally, you had a chance to break through to the Seventh Rank Warrior in half a year, but after using a forbidden technique, it will probably take a year to break through to the Seventh Rank Warrior!" In the crowd of the Du family, a seemingly ordinary, unremarkable young man with a cold demeanor, after seeing Ye Zhong and Du Han Yue use forbidden techniques one after another, slightly shook his head, a look of extreme disdain appearing on his face.

Although this young man was wearing the Du family's clothes, his words showed no respect for Du Han Yue, the strongest of the younger generation in the Du family, but were filled with disdain.

The dozen or so outstanding young members of the Du family, hearing the cold young man's disdainful mutter, all slightly frowned, but did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on their faces!

Although they did not know who this cold young man was, they knew that he was a friend of Lord Lü Feng, and at the age of eighteen, he was already a Seventh Rank Warrior!

An eighteen-year-old Seventh Rank Warrior was an existence that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

A friend of Lord Lü Feng, with such strength, was someone the Du family could not afford to offend!

"Du Han Yue also used a forbidden technique, so Ye Zhong of the Ye family has no chance of turning the tide. Du Han Yue's cultivation is already one level higher than Ye Zhong, and now he has used a forbidden technique. What can Ye Zhong use to counter?"

"The Ye family has lost!" The young nobles watching the scene, seeing the gracefully dancing fire butterflies on the training ground, declared.

Today's battle indeed made Ye Zhong of the Ye family stand out, but in the end, he would still lose. The moment Du Han Yue used a forbidden technique, no one believed that Ye Zhong had any hope of winning!

On the training ground, the fire butterflies, burning with flames and appearing grayish-white, rushed out like arrows, swirling around Ye Zhong's body, and then exploded suddenly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!—

The terrifying waves of scorching heat repeatedly surged, making Ye Zhong feel as if he were in a storm of blades. His clothes were quickly torn into shreds, and the scorching flames burned his skin, leaving black and blue marks on his face and body. He looked utterly disheveled.
