Hundreds of cultivators from the black walls of the mountains were now looking in the direction of Ji Yuan and Hua Yingxiong; they could all sense that a fight was about to start soon.

And many of the cultivators were secretly hoping that these two groups would massacre one another while they sat on the fence to watch…

Ji Yuan was quiet for a moment; he did not think that his odds of winning exceeded fifty percent in this case. It was because he had just witnessed how this Hua Yingxiong had caught the purple lightning in his bare hand and extinguished it with his profound strength.

This was something that he could not accomplish. He had remembered overcoming his purple lightning tribulation with Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue back then. At that time, he was only an initial saint while Ling Feiyue was a great saintess already.

Even though Ling Feiyue was a great saintess back then, she still dare not catch the purple lightning with her bare hand.

But this Hua Yingxiong actually can. Therefore he is not lying about being a super cultivator.

Ji Yuan’s profound arts were mostly sword energies and it was weaker than the purple lightning. If this Hua Yingxiong can extinguish the purple lightning then he can also easily neutralize Ji Yuan’s profound sword energies as well.

However Ji Yuan could tell that the other 19 cultivators that were behind Hua Yingxiong were actually not super cultivators even though he could not see their profound animus yet, mainly because their airs were somewhat lacking.

Because this Hua Yingxiong is a prince of the Golden Majesty Celestial Empire and that these cultivators were all wearing the robes of the Golden Majesty Celestial Empire, this Hua Yingxiong must have met them on this level and they have grouped together; it was quite well-known that the cultivators from the Golden Majesty Celestial Empire tended to group together and they followed a hierarchy should they meet in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

Ji Yuan said, “I believe that I’ve not introduced myself yet…”

Hua Yingxiong laughed coldly, “I already know that you’re from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. As for your name, do I really need to know? I may forget about your name in the next instant.”

Ji Yuan: …

Hua Yingxiong continued to laugh, “You’re just a beardless cultivator. In the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, it is shameful to be without a beard. Either you’ve committed some heresy and you’ve got your beard removed forcefully or your cultivation foundation is weak and hence you’ve lost your beard during your golden celestial transformation.”

Ji Yuan frowned; this Hua Yingxiong has just insulted his deceased beloved beautiful beard…

In the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, to insult a cultivator’s beard is a heresy crime by itself and it is the highest insult that can be hurled upon a cultivator.

The other celestial fraternities have long heard of the odd culture of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity and if they see a male cultivator from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity that they can bully, they will not hesitate to insult his beard.

When Hua Yingxiong saw Ji Yuan’s ugly look, he knew that he had provoked him.

So he began to laugh jovially, purposely flashing his golden teeth, his ten golden spatial rings on his fingers and straightened his glorious golden robe.

All of a sudden he flashed his divine sword; a celestial-step divine sword was suddenly unsheathed like a brilliant sun in the dark skies.

The hundreds of cultivators that were watching from afar were all gasping with envious; a celestial-step divine sword is something that they can only see in their dreams!

“How about that?” Hua Yingxiong grinned. “A poor pleasant must surely be in awe of my divine sword.”

There was a flash of coldness in Ji Yuan’s golden eyes before he grinned, “It looks like you’re just an uncultured cultivator. Wealthy yes but you lack culture.”

Hua Yingxiong laughed, “I am uncultured?”

Ji Yuan nodded, “A superior man of culture like you should at least allow me some free strokes to ready myself, am I right? Or else even if you’re a great saint but you’re just an inferior great saint.”

Hua Yingxiong frowned, “If you want me to give you some leeway, why don’t you say so directly?”

Ji Yuan chuckled, “I didn’t say it but you’ve said it.”

Hua Yingxiong hummed coldly as he raised three of his fingers up, “Very well then, I shall give you the benefit of thirty strokes.”

Ji Yuan laughed, “Thirty strokes? That is just too wonderful. I was actually expecting only a measly three strokes. You’re very generous indeed!”

“Is that so?” Hua Yingxiong was laughing jovially as well. “Tell you what, I will not only give you the benefit of thirty strokes but I will not move from where I am standing here. Go on, do your best against me and I promise you that I won’t retaliate against you…”

All of a sudden the smiles on his face were wiped clean when Ji Yuan had suddenly took out two divine swords; one saint-step divine sword and one immortal-step divine sword. Moreover Ji Yuan’s divine swords were glowing brilliantly with his divine harmony.

Hua Yingxiong: …

Not only was Hua Yingxiong startled by Ji Yuan’s sudden display of his divine swords but the hundreds of cultivators along the black cliffs were all flabbergasted with disbelief…

“He has two superior grade divine swords?!”

“He must be wealthiest cultivator in this trial…”

“He is from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity…”

“How is it possible?”

Ji Yuan grinned, “I wonder if the Golden Majesty Celestial Empire can afford a saint-step divine sword?”

Hua Yingxiong: …

Any immortal-step divine sword is already priceless. And a saint-step divine sword is priceless beyond priceless.

“I wonder if your robe is really impervious against my divine swords.” Ji Yuan grinned. “Hold on there while I take aim at you. Thirty strokes you just say. Haha.”

All of a sudden Hua Yingxiong’s almost dropped his jaws and he had almost taken a step backward when he saw that there were two sword spirits manifesting on his opponent’s fore hands.

Many of the cultivators nearby were all gasping with disbelief as they simply could not believe what they were already seeing…

“Two sword spirits?!”

“Look at his profound aura now…”

“If I’m not wrong then he is no ordinary sword saint but a super sword saint!”

“A super sword saint?”

“There is actually a super sword saint state of divinity?”

“Cultivators that can become sword saints are people that can merge their self completely into their profound sword arts to deliver lethal strikes against the profound animus of their opponents…”

“I’ve heard that if a sword saint is able to reach the super sword saint state of divinity, their sword intentions will be visible…”

Hua Yingxiong had broken into cold sweat as he could feel the sword intentions that had come from Ji Yuan even before the strikes have arrived. Originally, he had stood a higher chance of winning but now he really could not dare to say loud now because he has given his opponent thirty free strokes to attack and a handicap not to move from where he was now standing.

All of a sudden he felt himself reaching for the Escape Talisman…

But all of a sudden he laughed aloud as he smiled broadly at Ji Yuan, “Friend, I was only testing you! You’ve proven worthy to be my friend. Hahaha. So what is your name?”

Ji Yuan: …

“Who is your friend? Isn’t it too late to know my name now?”

But Hua Yingxiong continued to laugh jovially, “Like I say, I was only testing you. From afar, I know that you are a dragon among men and a son of the heavens!”

Ji Yuan laughed, “Oh really?”

Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi, Feng Minyue and Yu Jingjing: …

Hua Yingxiong nodded as he took off his golden robe as he walked to Ji Yuan, “In order to show my sincerity, I shall give you my battle garb.”

Ji Yuan smiled at the glittering battle robe, “It is really for me? In that case, I shall not decline your kind offer. Haha.”

Hua Yingxiong laughed as he took out a golden token to give Ji Yuan, “Not only that, from today onward, you’re also a honorable knight of the Golden Majesty Celestial Empire as well as an honorable citizen of the my Golden Majesty Celestial Empire!”

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, “Woot. You’re indeed very generous. Haha.”

Hua Yingxiong extended his hands to bow respectfully, “You’re not only just a friend. From today onward, you’re my brother as well! Erm, may I know the name of my brother here?”

,m “Ji Yuan. Haha.”

“Great! Brother Ji Yuan! You can address me as your Brother Hua Yingxiong directly. You can call me by my name even. In front of Brother Ji Yuan here, there is no prince or whatever so!”

“Haha. Brother Hua Yingxiong! But who is the elder and who is the junior?”

Hua Yingxiong answered righteously, “Of course it is my Brother Ji Yuan here! It is my great honor to befriend a brother like you in this trial here.”

“Haha…”

“Hahaha…”

All of a sudden, all the cultivators including Ji Yuan’s party were all feeling that these two cultivators are both too fake and too shameless…

Ji Yuan naturally knows that Hua Yingxiong was faking his real intentions but he did not want to waste his profound strength to fight a super cultivator like Hua Yingxiong.

He knows that if he presses Hua Yingxiong too hard, he may well retaliate even before he could get ready his thirty strokes.

“What a pity that there is no fight. I’ve been waiting in vain.” A deep voice had suddenly said out of nowhere.

This caused Ji Yuan, Hua Yingxiong and all the others who were nearby to be startled because a dark robe cultivator with a mask had suddenly appeared near to them and they had not detected his presence!

Ji Yuan was startled because he had also recognized the intruder as the Death God Mingwang!

Hua Yingxiong was back to his cocky self as he ordered one of his subordinates, “What a pest! Get rid of him!”

Immediately a cultivator behind him flashed to attack the dark robe cultivator with the mask.

But before everyone could blink their eyes, the dark robe cultivator with the mask had taken out his dark scythe and a profound energy blade had slice through to his attacker and had sent him flying through the solid ground loudly with a long streak of dust!

Hua Yingxiong was startled; it is because that unfortunate subordinate is actually a great saint and one of his best fighters…

Even Ji Yuan was startled by the profound strength that he had just witnessed; this Death God Mingwang was much stronger than the one that he had fought the last time…

The Death God Mingwang laughed behind his mask, “You must be wondering why. I am naturally not a clone and this is the real me.”

Ji Yuan gripped his divine swords tightly; a major battle is about to unfold very soon…

All of a sudden his hands gripped even tighter because he had suddenly noticed that the Death God Mingwang was staring lecherous at his Qianfeng’s bosoms and butt!
