Chapter 82

Ye Zhong's pupils constricted slightly at this moment. Just as Yang Hao left, these people suddenly appeared. If he were to say that these guys had nothing to do with Yang Hao, Ye Zhong would never believe it. If Ye Zhong had not misjudged, all of this was probably part of Yang Hao's plan. This Yang Hao had quite a deep mind. If the opportunity was right, it might be better to get rid of him.

Seeing these people who suddenly appeared, Su Yu frowned and then sternly shouted, "Fuyang, what do you mean by this?"

"Hehe, what do you mean?" Among the figures, the one called Fuyang stretched lazily. He looked at Su Yu with a half-smiling, half-mocking expression for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "Sister Su Yu, I have no interest in arguing with you. You should know that I have always been very concerned about Senior Sister Lingyue. Senior Sister Lingyue did not choose us to assist her on this mission, so we naturally dare not have any objections... After all, whether it's you, Sister Su Yu, or Sister Lü Bing, you are all famous figures in the Inner Sect. We are quite reassured about you..."

"However, this unknown kid wants to protect Senior Sister Lingyue, and we can't really trust him!" Fuyang looked at Ye Zhong with a carefree expression, his words filled with a mocking tone.

"Fuyang, who I choose to go on the mission with is not for you to decide, is it?" Lingyue's gaze turned cold, and she said coldly.

"Ha, Senior Sister Lingyue, you are the goddess in everyone's heart. Is it wrong for everyone to worry about your safety?" Fuyang clearly feared Lingyue. After laughing awkwardly, he turned his gaze to Ye Zhong, his eyes filled with unhidden mockery. "Kid, to have Senior Sister Lingyue stand up for you at this moment doesn't seem very manly."

"Ye Zhong, don't pay attention to them. This is just the lowest form of provocation." Su Yu frowned, looking at Ye Zhong, who was about to step forward, and said solemnly.

"There are always these kinds of unnecessary troubles. I'm also quite troubled by it." Ye Zhong squinted his eyes and looked at Fuyang and the others for a moment before smiling at Su Yu. "Sister, you know my abilities. However, many people clearly don't understand. Today, I will resolve all these troubles in one go."

Hearing this, Su Yu's eyes twitched slightly, and after a moment, she sighed.

"It seems there will be a good show—"

At this moment, near the entrance of the Star Constellation Sect, quite a few disciples gathered. They all looked at this direction with strange expressions, thinking the same thing.

"Salutations, Senior Brother." After smiling at Su Yu and the others, Ye Zhong turned around, took a step forward, and bowed.

"Ha, Ye Zhong, you are as boastful as the rumors say. What, do you suddenly think we are the kind of trouble you can easily resolve?" Fuyang looked at Ye Zhong with a faintly mocking expression, his eyes filled with unhidden mockery. "I don't mean to offend you, but if you obediently give up your position now, it would be for the best for everyone, wouldn't it?"

"You come to ruin my plans and still say you don't mean to offend me?" Ye Zhong's expression was indifferent, but his words were sharp. "Does that mean if I slap you and then say sorry, it wouldn't mean I'm offending you?"

"You!" Fuyang's breath hitched, and then he shook his head and sighed. "I know you defeated Luo Long, but to gain confidence from defeating that arrogant kid in the Outer Sect, I must say, you are naive."

"Whether I am naive or not, Senior Brother, don't you want to try it out yourself?" Ye Zhong had lost interest in continuing to talk nonsense with Fuyang. He smiled faintly and then slowly extended his right hand, curling his palm.

When Ye Zhong's words echoed in the air, a slight commotion arose from all sides. Many disciples of the Star Constellation Sect looked at this direction with strange expressions.

Ye Zhong had caused quite a bit of trouble in the Star Constellation Sect over the past month, rising rapidly. However, all his opponents so far had been Outer Sect disciples. This time, Fuyang, who ranked quite high among the Inner Sect disciples, had come to challenge him, and he actually dared to provoke him?

Is this guy really capable, or is he just overly confident?

At this moment, even Fuyang was slightly stunned. He had thought that Ye Zhong, facing his cold ridicule, would try his best to avoid a conflict. But Ye Zhong directly provoked him, instantly taking the initiative. This kind of spirit made Fuyang feel a bit nervous.

It seems that this new Inner Sect junior brother, who has been talked about a lot recently, really has some skills.

At this moment, not far from the entrance of the Star Constellation Sect, Yang Hao stood under a tree, silently watching this direction. His eyes showed a hint of doubt and uncertainty.

"This guy actually dared to provoke Fuyang. Does he really have that much confidence? He is just a mere Fifth Stage Body Tempering cultivator. Fuyang cultivates the Star Constellation Body Tempering Technique. Even if he has mastered the Crimson Sky Star Constellation Finger, he has no advantage. But, is he really not afraid?" Yang Hao frowned, his eyes filled with hesitation. Although he didn't take Ye Zhong seriously, the situation was different from what he had expected, making him feel a bit uneasy.

"Brother, why don't we act together? Let's crush this guy once and for all! He even dared to approach the woman you like, he's asking for death!" Behind Yang Hao, Yang Fang's face was cold as he glared at Ye Zhong and said with a sneer.

"No rush." After hesitating for a moment, Yang Hao spoke softly. He liked to act cautiously and didn't like taking risks. "Since Fuyang has volunteered, let him try. If he succeeds, it's the best."

"What if he fails?" Yang Fang asked.

"If Fuyang fails, does it have anything to do with us brothers?" Yang Hao sneered.

Yang Fang nodded slightly, his expression turning extremely cold.

...

"You have some courage."

Fuyang stared at Ye Zhong, who had taken the initiative to provoke him. After a moment, the concern in his heart was cast aside, replaced by a coldness. In the Star Constellation Sect, he had never been provoked like this before.

Without wasting any more words, he took a step forward, and his blood and qi instantly boiled, an extremely terrifying aura spreading from his body. At this moment, it seemed as if countless beast roars were coming from within him, extremely fierce and cold.

"Star Constellation Body Tempering Technique!"

This familiar scene made Ye Zhong slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. The body tempering technique Fuyang cultivated was indeed the Star Constellation Body Tempering Technique? So, although he was only at the Fifth Stage Body Tempering, not much different from himself, he was stronger than Luo Long!

"Ye Zhong, since we are fellow disciples, I won't bully you. If you can last ten rounds without losing, I, Fuyang, will not say another word about you accompanying Senior Sister Lingyue on the mission. If you can't, then leave obediently. Do you dare to accept?"

Fuyang's deep and stern voice echoed in the air.

"Ten rounds, that sounds a bit petty, doesn't it?" Ye Zhong stared at Fuyang and then sneered. "Since Senior Brother Fuyang wants to fight, why don't we make it a bit more exciting? If you can last ten rounds against me, I will sever one of my arms. If you can't, I will take one of your arms!"

"What? Sever one of your arms?"

Ye Zhong's voice also echoed in the air, but unlike Fuyang's challenge, which had a hint of sparring, Ye Zhong's challenge had a bloody and fierce tone.

Hearing Ye Zhong's words, the surrounding Star Constellation Sect disciples all drew in a cold breath, realizing that this situation would not end easily.

"Challenging me to a bet of one arm, you have guts! But you, a mere new disciple, are so arrogant. If I don't accept, I won't be able to stay in the Star Constellation Sect. Fine, I'll accept your bet. I want to see what this so-called Ye Family waste can do."

A fierce and murderous intent flashed in Fuyang's eyes, more so a deep anger. He didn't want to have such a bet with Ye Zhong, but now he was in a bind. If he didn't accept, he would be the one to lose face the most today.

"Boom—"

In the next instant, Fuyang took a step forward, and a brilliant silver light burst from his palm. A silver spear appeared in his hand, and an extremely powerful aura spread from it, clearly a powerful spiritual weapon.

"Swish, swish, swish—"

With the spear in hand, Fuyang took a step forward, and the spear in his hand trembled, transforming into dozens of spear shadows that rushed towards Ye Zhong. In an instant, the air was torn apart, and the sound of the wind was piercing.

Facing Fuyang's attack, Ye Zhong also clenched his hand, and a whistling green light appeared in his palm. The Void Sword emerged, and a sword aura shot out!
