I Am Supreme

Yun Yang’s unusually forward reaction stunned the duo instead. Rarely had they met a victim who was so frank and outright.

In the face of their aggressiveness, should he not negotiate his way out first before begging for mercy? Only then could he compromise and obey them; after he was forced into a corner and toyed with like cats chasing a mouse.

Why did he act like he had ulterior intentions? It even felt like he was anticipating to harm them. It did not look right.

Qian Duoduo, who was standing by the side, called out a reminder, “Be careful, boss. These two men are quite infamous for being the Savage Duo of Bamboo Garden. They’re both third level pinnacle of Honor.”

His ‘kind’ reminder infuriated the so-called Savage Duo of Bamboo Garden and Yun Yang as well.

‘If it wasn’t for you, would your father have come up against these – uh – Savage Duo of Bamboo Garden so soon?’

Reaching a discord, the situation was clear to both parties. The pair facing Yun Yang said nothing more as they hovered into the air, unleashing their sword and ax in a fierce motion.

They had just risen, yet to attack, but Yun Yang could already feel an unprecedented pressure snaking its way towards him. The overwhelming force was enough to give Yun Yang an idea of the pair’s level. Standing in the midst of a lethal threat, he was delighted instead of being shocked; an unusual thought bubbled within him.

Based on the capability the two men showed, it felt like they were the same level as Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou – to him, at least. Perhaps they could not even compare to the two elderly experts, but they were somewhat on par.

According to little fatty Qian Duoduo’s introduction and the current situation he faced, this meant that Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou as well as Gu Chaliang who came earlier were basically safe here in the Bound of Universe as long as they did not walk into trouble.

Yun Yang was very much relieved thinking about this.

As for Ji Lingxi, he did not even need to worry about her. The lady’s fatal red light allowed her to not only dominate the Tianxuan Continent but to do the same here. At the very least, before meeting any pinnacle masters who could break the guarding red beam, Ji Lingxi need not be afraid of anyone. In addition, her cultivation base was beyond ordinary, already surpassing Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou. She was already a master!

“Wonderful.”

As Yun Yang observed the incoming attack, he swiftly unsheathed the Divine Edge. The aura he exuded transformed immediately from the gentlemanly young master earlier to that of an unstoppable terminator.

The pair could not help the sense of shock that flooded their minds.

Although both sides had yet to officially come into contact, the impregnable vibe from Yun Yang was tidal. It was a strange atmosphere like one was touching the sky while standing on the earth, like an imposing mountain that was both majestic and solemn.

The bony one was already halfway through his sword strike but he suddenly twisted aside. The gleaming beam in his palm flickered and shot out, hitting Qian Duoduo’s lower abdomen.

They had erred in their earlier judgment. This young man before them was actually a formidable opponent and was most probably a tough one to take down.

Therefore, what they had to do now was not to end the battle as soon as possible but eliminate Yun Yang’s combat support, Qian Duoduo. Only by ridding the fatty’s combat power and ability to assist Yun Yang, could the pair then erase any anticipating trouble and go all out to take Yun Yang down. They could even leverage on Qian Duoduo as the young man’s sore spot to distract him and annihilate them both!

Qian Duoduo’s cultivation base was not bad, level two of an Honor, but he was less experienced in practical combat. Taking the initiative to attack, he was considerably lithe and strong, but when he was ambushed without any expectation, he was not adequately spontaneous and was struck at once.

The fatty cried out instinctively. In truth, it was not a matter of concern, since his ambush was expected to Yun Yang. He was still quite wary of the fellow, so he had not helped nor warned him, intending to teach him a lesson. After all, the bony one’s attack was only to handicap Qian Duoduo’s combat power and not to kill him.

However, the self-preserving blue light that flashed from Qian Duoduo once he was attacked gave Yun Yang a significant scare. When the gold gleam reached Qian Duoduo’s lower abdomen, a ray of blue radiance rose and parried the gleam.

“Something is strange about this fellow’s weapon. Let us first finish him off together,” the fat one growled.

The bony one had only wasted a blink of an eye’s time, but it was during this split second that the fat one was engulfed in Yun Yang’s storm of saber light.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

As the weapons collided consistently and clanked, the fat bandit was heartbroken to find out that the excellent hacking ax he roamed the martial world with was utterly beaten up. When the bony robber had come to his support with his sword, the fat one finally had a chance to rest and check his treasured weapon; the hacking ax he had babied so much had already turned into a jagged saw!

From its blade to its handle, crevices lined the surface neatly in one direction. Even if he wanted to use it as a saw blade afterward, it would not work…

The fat bandit was so stunned that he had no tears to shed for this unfortunate incident.

Then, the thin bandit hollered like the fat one earlier, “Fatty! What are you doing? This child’s weapon is wicked! Help out here!”

As the fat bandit looked in the direction of the hollering, he saw that the thin bandit’s sword was in a similar state as his ax. Just as he was about to provide assistance, a crisp ringing was heard as the sword broke into two, deeming its own end.

The poor sword consequently became three pieces, as Yun Yang would not stop just because his enemy’s weapon was broken. It was logical that he would follow up his attack when his opponent was down!

The bony bandit deflected the attack, barely, and retreated with the intention of a temporal escape. In spite of this, the handsome face who wore fluttering purple robes was emotionless when he pushed forward insistently; his determination to kill was blatant.

Some clamor later, the thin bandit had only the grip of his sword in his hand.

“Third level Honor?” both the robbers exclaimed simultaneously.

Before this, they had tried as much as they could to overestimate Yun Yang’s cultivation, but the two of them still did not expect that such a young man was a difficult character whose cultivation base rivaled them who had cultivated for hundreds of years. Otherwise, no instrument, no matter how divine they were, could break their weapons that were fortified with powerful mystical Qi so easily.

The bony one withdrew. As he did, he threw the sword grip like a secret weapon in order to fight for the littlest amount of gap. With a cheery blink, another sword appeared in his hand. As for the fat one, he changed his weapon to another ax too, bolting forward to take over the battle.

Both the bandits knew that the youth’s combat power exceeded their prediction. If anyone between them was defeated, the remaining one could never be exempted from the same fate as well. Survival was only possible if both of them worked together and fought with all their might.

In spite of this, Yun Yang still looked as cold as an ice sculpture. He suddenly changed his stance, and the saber light that sprayed out transformed accordingly.
