Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the atmosphere in the dark alley was getting tenser and tenser.

Lu Ruan, who was beside the Blood Bodhi, walked forward with his spear. His originally ashen expression turned into a valiant one of someone about to fight the death. “‘Seven-Foot Spear’ Lu Ruan. I’ve long heard of the famous Overlord Spear of the Red Flower Pavilion. Today, I want to see how much of the former Spear Chief’s spear technique is left in Young Master Ye’s hands.”

“Lu Ruan?”

Upon hearing the introduction, the experts of the Red Flower Pavilion were stunned. They didn’t expect the two pawns beside the Blood Bodhi to have such powerful backgrounds.

The reputation of ‘Seven-Foot Spear’ Lu Ruan was not low in Yun Province. He had been born in Ya Province and had studied under ‘North Cliff Spear King’ Chu Hao. Back then, Chu Hao had been a strong opponent of Pei Yuanming’s, and they had even fought a few battles for the title of Spear Chief.

Although Lu Ruan had been expelled from the lineage because of his bad character, his talent was indeed extraordinary. He had committed several major crimes single-handedly after entering the Jianghu and had been pursued by the Black Office for many years without being caught. He had even created a technique called the Roaming Snake Spear based on the North Cliff’s Roaming Dragon Spear. There were even hints of the former surpassing the latter.

Lu Ruan wasn’t a Grandmaster, but most of the hall masters present weren’t either. There were even a few who admitted that they weren’t Lu Ruan’s match. Seeing him appear, they couldn’t help making a commotion.

“Lu Ruan? Why is he here?”

“Blood Bodhi, Lu Ruan… Is there a need to go so far to deal with a junior?”

But before everyone found the answer to their doubts, the situation in the alley explained to them why the Blood Bodhi had mobilized so many people!

Tread, tread, tread…

Lu Ruan held his thin spear in his hand. After taking three steps forward, he began to stride forward to close the distance, holding the spear with both hands and bending down almost to the ground.

Ye Jingtang stood in the alley with his spear in his hand. He turned sideways and pointed the spear at the ground with one hand. The dense raindrops hit the tip of the spear, splashing water.

“Haa!”

When Lu Ruan was 30 feet away, he suddenly increased his speed and pointed his spear forward like a shuttle.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Strong winds suddenly rose in the alley, and rain flew everywhere.

Under the light of the lanterns, Lu Ruan actually stabbed out several whirlpools in the rain between the two of them. His spear turned into an afterimage, and no one could see the movements of the spear clearly.

This spear attack was fierce and fast. The explosive power made many hall masters blush with shame.

But the fact that he stabbed several times in a row meant that he had missed Ye Jingtang. Otherwise, one stab would have been enough.

Holding the spear with one hand, Ye Jingtang didn’t immediately counterattack. Instead, he raised the spear and moved back unhurriedly. His body seemed to be in danger, but he moved out of the attack range of the spear every time.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Lu Ruan’s footsteps were steady as he walked forward step by step. His spear seemed to be as fast as a dragon, but no matter how he pressed forward, the tip of the spear in his hand was still slightly off.

Ye Jingtang’s extraordinary movement technique made the eyes of many hall masters light up!

But before everyone had time to be amazed, the following scene directly horrified them.

Lu Ruan missed 12 thrusts in a row, and he was already at the end of his breath. He could only retreat and accumulate strength.

At this moment, Ye Jingtang, who was unscathed, slid his spear behind him until he held the end of the spear with one hand and pointed the tip of the spear to the ground.

Ding!

A soft and low cry.

In the next moment, a loud explosion sounded in the alley!

Boom!

Ye Jingtang pushed his feet against the ground, exerted strength from his waist and abdomen, and tightened his muscles. Holding the end of the spear with one hand, he whipped the spear forward from the back to the front like a long whip.

“Haa!”

It was hard for the hail masters to imagine how powerful this attack was.

As soon as Ye Jingtang raised his arm, the straight spear collapsed into a bow shape under the terrifying acceleration.

The spear struck the rain falling from the sky, and the raindrops exploded into white mist.

The spear tore apart the rain curtain above, and the spear wind swept the raindrops in half of the alley and shot toward Lu Ruan like a tornado.

Lu Ruan’s hair stood on end. He raised his spear to block without hesitation, but in front of this attack, his robust body was like a praying mantis raising its arms before a landslide.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a wave of air formed by water mist, and grass instantly rushed out of the narrow alley for more than 100 feet, like a powerful dragon suddenly appearing in the alley.

The spear that Lu Ruan raised was instantly broken.

Crack!

A cold light flashed, and the tip of Ye Jingtang’s spear hit the top of his head.

Bam!

Flesh flew and blood splattered everywhere.

Before the shock in Lu Ruan’s eyes could turn into fear, his entire body exploded in the rain. The shock wave engulfed his internal organs and blood and forcefully splashed a fan-shaped blood splatter in the limestone alley!

Splash…

The moment the spear landed, all sound suddenly stopped!

The entire round building fell dead silent. The scene was too bloody. Even Pei Xiangjun turned her head.

Ye Jingtang slowly retracted his spear, looked up at the opposite side, and raised his chin slightly. “Next.”

Pitter-patter…

It was raining heavily. The surroundings were silent for a long time before voices gradually sounded.

“Woah…”

“What the hell is this…”

“What a good move of Yellow Dragon Crouching!”

Above the round building, Song Chi and Chen Yuanqing were shocked when they saw this scene.

When the two of them saw the pavilion lord push Ye Jingtang out, they had guessed that this child must have some skills. But they really didn’t expect his skills to be so great!

Extraordinary physique, surging internal energy, and the most domineering Pei family’s Overlord Spear in the world!

The momentum of this spear attack was definitely at the level of a Grandmaster. Even Song Chi was startled. This child looks less than twenty. How can he be so domineering?

In the eyes of the experts of the Red Flower Pavilion, this scene was indescribably shocking.

In the Blood Bodhi’s eyes, there was only horror.

The Blood Bodhi knew that Ye Jingtang had learned the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade, the Heaven Equaling Saber, and even possibly the Dragon Slaying Decree. He originally thought that Ye Jingtang was a saber expert, but he never expected his spearmanship to be so terrifying.

Although it seemed that Ye Jingtang’s spearmanship was far less spiritual than his saber skills, a spear was inherently 30% stronger than a short weapon in a one-on-one battle. If he couldn’t even withstand the saber, how could he deal with this Overlord Spear that had once dominated the world?

Pitter-patter…

The silence in the rain lasted for a long time.

In the end, Ye Jingtang raised his spear and pointed it at the Blood Bodhi and Chen Ming. “Attack together. At least you won’t die so vexed.”

One move instantly killed Lu Ruan, so the remaining two would attack together. No one present felt that there was a problem.

The Blood Bodhi gripped his iron cane with a dark expression. He turned around and walked toward the riverside street. “The two Grandmasters are watching from above. Young Master Ye, you won unfairly. How about we change locations?”

If they fought below the round building, Song Chi, Chen Yuanqing, and the others could jump down to help at any time. As for the Blood Bodhi and Cheng Ming, they would have to divert their attention to guard against attacks from above. It indeed went against martial ethics.

Although the Blood Bodhi and Chen Ming didn’t have the right to reason, Ye Jingtang didn’t care. He carried his spear on his shoulder and walked through the alley on the side of the inn.

In this desperate situation, the face of ‘Heart Eviscerator’ Chen Ming turned pale. But in this situation where there was no way out, his hands under his sleeves moved slightly, and two iron claws popped out. There were sharp blades at the top of his fingers, flowing with a cold light in the faint light.

Chen Ming’s notoriety was even greater than Lu Ruan’s. When Ye Jingtang took on the job of dealing with the Wingless Owl, there was a bounty on ‘Heart Eviscerator’ Chen Ming.

Dong, dong, dong!

The iron cane hit the stone bricks, making a dull sound.

The three people in the alley quickly passed through the buildings and arrived at the long riverbank street. They stood 100 feet apart.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning tore through the rain.

Ye Jingtang pointed his spear diagonally at the street with one hand, raised his left hand, and hooked it slightly…
