Chapter 25: The First Battle

When Huang Bin got closer to Yu Yuan, he aggressively punched straight toward Yu Yuan’s face.

His muscular arms, shining in a golden color, gave people the impression of gold and iron.

Yu Yuan raised his hand and blocked the punch with his palm.

Bang!

The heavy brute force crashed into him.

Yu Yuan twisted his waist and stepped back a few steps. He felt a burning pain in his palm, and his shoulder was sore.

Huang Bin did not take advantage of his first hit but stopped in place, “It hurts, doesn’t it?”

Yu Yuan didn’t reply.

This was going to be his first battle after rebirth.

Yet this first one had to be between life and death.

The Meridian Establishment Realm is the lowest realm among the realms of cultivation. In this realm, the cultivator’s Dantian in the Yellow Hall had not yet opened, so the spiritual power could not be used to strengthen the cultivator’s organs and muscles.

In addition, the spiritual power, when in the Meridian Establishment Realm, could not leave the body either.

Compared to ordinary people, cultivators in the Meridian Establishment Realm would only have the advantage of tough meridians which could increase their strengths.

Huang Bin had opened up all twelve of his meridians, therefore, his strength, speed, and stamina were all superior to that of Yu Yuan’s.

Although the method, Black Gold Method, that he cultivated on was only a low-rank method, his spiritual power still condensed into his surrounding muscles, and it was not bad for a Meridian Establishment cultivator.

Both of them were in the same realm, yet Yu Yuan only opened ten meridians and Huang Bin opened twelve.

Judging from just the realm achievements, Huang Bin had a much better chance of winning.

“Keep going.” Yu Yuan said suddenly.

Without using “Nine Bright Heavenly Cycles”, he was able to mostly recover from the shock with just the Meridian Extension Pill that he consumed earlier.

“Bin’er!”

Under the high platform, Huang Chen called out Huang Bin’s name in a very deep and cruel voice.

Huang Bin took a breath, and when he looked at Yu Yuan, his eyes sparkled with a murderous glare, “You’ll be sorry!”

Yu Yuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his face was still as calm as it was before. “Just come.”

Yuan Lianyao slowly sat up straight. She threw another melon seed into her mouth and started to chew carefully.

Scattered around the high platform, the members of the four major clans fell silent. This intense atmosphere held still for a long time, as everyone knew that a bloody scene was just able to unfold in front of their faces.

Zhao Xi raised her head, staring at the weird gloomy sky, and frowned slightly.

“Here I come!”

With a large yell, he punched once again.

While traveling in the air, his forearm glowed in a shiny golden color with patterns that looked like ferocious flying dragons, giving people a mighty feeling.

“In the Meridian Establishment Realm, it’s indeed impressive to cultivate so far ahead.” Withdrawing his gaze from the sky, Zhao Xi, once again paid attention to the battle platform.

“What a pity.” Zhao Dongsheng sighed.

“Bring it on.”

Using the same method, Yu Yuan chose to face his punch with a block.

Unlike Huang Bin, Yu Yuan tightly wrapped his arms in his sleeves. In fact, only he knew that under the thick sleeves, a bright colorful light stream was traveling through his arms.

“The Black Gold Method is nothing more than a low-rank spiritual method.”

From the corner of his mouth, he evoked a sardonic comment, “And realm does not mean power. The cultivators who really stand at the top of the pyramid all knows about this. HA!”

When Huang Bin’s golden fist was about to smash into Yu Yuan like an iron first, nine spots of light appeared in the middle of Yu Yuan’s palms!

They were like nine brightly lit suns!

“Nine Bright Heavenly Cycles!”

Yu Yuan screamed in his mind.

For a moment, the spectators could even feel the shock waves from the powerful light!

Boom!

The next moment, Huang Bin’s golden fist collided with Yu Yuan’s palm.

The glowing first seemed to shrunk upon contact with Yu Yuan’s palm as if it was swallowed by the light!

Huang Bin’s fist was held firmly in place by Yu Yuan’s palm!

He looked at Yu Yuan, speechless, sensing a force in Yu Yuan’s palm that was twisting and turning.

The spiritual power he gathered in the golden punch didn’t even last for an extra second.

Without the support of his spiritual power, the fist could no longer hold a chance against Yu Yuan.

“Don’t blame me. Blame the one who told you to do this.” Yu Yuan said.

Crack!

Huang Bin’s bones cracked with a sound that only the closest could hear.

Surrounded by people from the Huang Clan, the thin old man suddenly stood up and shouted violently, “How dare you!”

At this moment, everyone saw one of Yu Yuan’s hands gently pressed on to Huang Bin’s chest while the other one was still holding on to Huang Bin’s first.

In front of Huang Bin’s chest, a vivid lotus bloomed.

As the lotus bloomed, Huang Bin’s chest collapsed into an unnatural position.

Then, blood came out of his mouth and nose.

“Father, grandpa…”

Huang Bin’s eyes could no longer be controlled. He tried to take a last look at his angry grandfather as if he didn’t know what to do anymore.

Bang.

Huang Bin landed on the platform and died.

Yu Yuan slowly took a few steps backward.

The direction he was stepping was of course toward Yuan Lianyao.

Lady Mayoress stood up again on the high platform, looking coldly at Huang Chen and the old man Huang Fan. “You agreed to it. What now? You want to withdraw your promise because it is Huang Bin who died?”

Many of the spectators only realized what happened after Yuan Lianyao spoke.

Huang Bin was killed by Yu Yuan?

What were the nine bright dots of light in Yu Yuan’s palm?

Also, what about the lotus that killed Huang Bin?

“It is you who gave the engraved marking on Yu Yuan’s other hand!”

Huang Clan’s old man shoved through the crowd and walked towards Yuan Lianyao.

His pupils gradually became golden. “My grandson is dead, Lady Mayoress, shouldn’t he get a valid explanation?”

Yuan Lianyao had the title of “Bloody Lotus”, and the mark of the lotus was also unique to her. It was formed by using a special type of condensed insense and a drop of her own spiritual blood.

It was hard to formulate such marks, as it would cause her to be weakened from the process.

In the past, she used this as a reward to Yuan Clan juniors who were related to her, so that the juniors could save their lives in the time of need.

Secretly forming a lotus mark and sealed it in Yu Yuan’s body, just to kill his grandchild. How much hatred could this be?

“It’s not Yu Yuan who killed my son Huang Bin, but you Lady Mayoress, right?”

Huang Chen couldn’t stop shaking from his anger. As he walked closer to Yuan Lianyao, he could feel that his heart was bleeding, “What did we do to deserve this? What made you use Yu Yuan’s hand to kill my son here?”

This was also a question that others want to ask as well.

Huang Clan’s foe had always been the Yu Clan. That everyone knew.

But in the Dark Moon City, the Huang Clan never dared to provoke the Yuan Clan in any way or form.

Yuan Lianyao was in charge of Yuan Clan, and when he was nominated as the leader of the city, she even gave the Huang Clan quite a few benefits. Both parties never seemed to have any conflict at all.

So why now?

Why did Yuan Lianyao condense a lotus mark and seal it in Yu Yuan’s body to kill Huang Bin?

She had been clamoring for rule-following for years, yet isn’t this considered to be cheating?

“Elder brother, what happened?” Zhao Xi was excited by the dramatic changes that just occurred, “Is that woman from the Yuan Clan crazy? Does she want to cause a battle among us, four clans?”

“I, I…” Yu Can clenched the wheelchair arm, nervously. He didn’t know what to say about this.

Yu Li, who also didn’t know about this beforehand, was also stunned and worried, “What happened to everyone today?” Yu Yuan only told her parts of what he planned, but she didn’t know what the consequences of doing so.

“Hooray! Our young master is the best!” An Ziqing, who came along, clapped and cheered loudly, totally ignoring the seriousness of the situation. “The clothes Huang Bin wears every day are ugly. No wonder he would be killed.”

“What did you say?”

On the Huang Clan’s side, someone shouted.
