Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1865 - 1847: Well Met
"Senior Brother Jingyun is here!"
"Haven’t seen you in a long time, Senior Brother Jingyun!"
"Hello, Senior Brother Jingyun!"
...
Everyone greeted him at this moment, their words filled with respect. Li Jingyun had not appeared for a long time, and they were curious why he suddenly came today. However, they wouldn’t ask these questions out loud; they would find out soon enough.
Li Jingyun just nodded slightly to everyone, as a form of greeting, and then looked at Fang Yan who was surrounded by the crowd, and directly walked towards him.
"Are you Fang Yan?" Li Jingyun asked Fang Yan calmly.
"That’s me." Fang Yan looked at Li Jingyun, smiling, and gave a simple two-word answer.
"I heard you’re quite strong?" Li Jingyun was somewhat surprised, but his face remained calm as he asked back.
"Not bad." Fang Yan replied with a smile, not holding back.
Just two questions and two answers, very concise, leaving the people around confused. But they already sensed that Li Jingyun’s visit to the Scenic Sky Courtyard was definitely not to take on a task, but because of Fang Yan. Otherwise, why would he only speak to Fang Yan? They wondered if Li Jingyun had any thoughts about Fang Yan?
Sure enough, just as everyone was speculating, Li Jingyun’s voice came through.
"Let’s have a match." Li Jingyun’s voice was calm, as if he were saying something very ordinary. In fact, he didn’t want to fight Fang Yan, but the current situation forced him to take action, something he was truly helpless about.
What!
How can this be!
This... what’s going on!
...
Immediately, all eyes turned to Li Jingyun. No one expected him to challenge Fang Yan; their eyes were wide with disbelief. Who was Li Jingyun? He was the top person in the Heavenly Court, second only to the Taoist, while Fang Yan had been in the Heavenly Court for less than a year. What kind of situation was this? How could Li Jingyun make such a decision?
Li Jingyun was not like Feng Lun. Firstly, Li Jingyun’s skills were extremely formidable; he was a candidate for the Taoist. Secondly, Li Jingyun and Fang Yan had no interaction. Feng Lun attacking Fang Yan because of Feng Qi’s issue was normal, but Li Jingyun’s action was completely unfounded. Furthermore, if Li Jingyun won, no one would say anything, but if he lost to Fang Yan, it would be a huge loss of face. How could Li Jingyun decide on such a thing!
Most people thought this way, while Feng Lun and others had smiles on their faces. They had been waiting for this moment. Now that Li Jingyun had shown up, they just needed to see if Fang Yan dared to accept. If Fang Yan accepted, their purpose would surely be achieved, and this was a great thing!
"Alright." Fang Yan looked at Li Jingyun and agreed with a smile. Song He had already mentioned Li Jingyun in previous conversations, but Fang Yan didn’t care much. Moreover, his body had been mostly adjusted, and he was eager for a good fight. Just as this Li Jingyun presented himself, how could he refuse? He was too happy to do so.
"See you at the Martial Arena!"
Hearing Fang Yan agree, Li Jingyun was somewhat surprised, but he nodded soon after. He then simply left a remark, and his figure disappeared like a white light. Watching Li Jingyun leave, Fang Yan’s lips curled into a slightly wicked smile. Then his figure moved, transforming into a white light and disappearing as well.
These two guys!
Oh my, those two are gone!
They are about to duel!
...
Everyone was at a loss as they watched Li Jingyun and Fang Yan, who had already disappeared from their sight. They hadn’t expected that before reaching the martial arena, these two had already started competing. What was going on? However, no one’s speed could match Li Jingyun and Fang Yan, so they could only urge their Gang Qi to rush towards the martial arena as quickly as possible. This battle must not be missed...
Li Jingyun’s Divine Sense was constantly observing behind him but found that Fang Yan had not caught up. Just in an instant, he showed a disdainful expression. With such speed, Fang Yan defeated Feng Lun? He thought, was Feng Lun deceiving him? Fang Yan’s speed wasn’t that exaggerated at all!
In the blink of an eye, Li Jingyun reached the martial arena and immediately headed in Elder Zhou’s direction. He was originally prepared to wait for Fang Yan here, but suddenly he saw Fang Yan appear next to Elder Zhou, and he was stunned, his eyes almost bulging out.
How is this possible? When did this kid get ahead of him!
Rubbing his eyes, Li Jingyun confirmed that he hadn’t seen wrong. For a moment, he was dumbfounded, unable to believe that Fang Yan was actually faster than him, arriving here so quickly. He wondered what was going on, how Fang Yan did it...
"Elder Zhou, it’s him who wants to challenge me, please bear witness," Fang Yan said with a smile to Elder Zhou upon seeing Li Jingyun appear.
This time, it was Elder Zhou’s turn to be unsettled. How could he not recognize Li Jingyun? He never imagined that it was Fang Yan challenging Li Jingyun today, thinking to himself—what is going on here, why would anyone challenge Fang Yan given Li Jingyun’s formidable strength! But now that Fang Yan had said so, and seeing Fang Yan with a confident demeanor, Elder Zhou couldn’t say much and could only agree.
"Fine, you two head to the stage."
Elder Zhou nodded slightly, speaking blandly, though his heart felt otherwise—he vaguely seemed to understand Li Jingyun’s intentions, yet Fang Yan remained inscrutable to him, leaving him puzzled about where Fang Yan’s confidence came from, knowing of Li Jingyun’s strength yet choosing to fight him.
Seeing that Elder Zhou had agreed, Fang Yan and Li Jingyun did not delay and directly entered the martial arena, hundreds of feet apart from each other!
Li Jingyun now looked at Fang Yan with a grave expression, truly realizing that Fang Yan was not as simple as he had thought. Earlier, Fang Yan had mysteriously surpassed him even without him noticing, which wasn’t something just anyone could do.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an awe-inspiring aura erupted from Li Jingyun. Without using any techniques, merely circulating a spell to release Gang Qi, a massive storm erupted within a radius of over a hundred feet, forming an enormous tornado-like vortex, towering several hundred feet high, clearly visible even from dozens of miles away.
This time, Li Jingyun held nothing back. Being able to defeat Feng Lun and having such mysterious speed, facing such a foe, Li Jingyun wasn’t going to be careless, thus he fully circulated Gang Qi from the start. Within just one or two breaths, the surrounding Gang Qi storm ceased, and instantly a set of white Gang Qi battle armor materialized on him, wrapping his otherwise seemingly frail figure.
On the other side, Fang Yan did not circulate Gang Qi at all, just standing there watching Li Jingyun. Only after Li Jingyun finished did he speak: "I didn’t expect you’ve reached the late Human Immortal Realm, but it doesn’t matter, bring it on!"
His voice sounded very casual, and indeed Fang Yan was just this way. Even if his opponent was in the late Human Immortal Realm, it posed no major threat to him. Engaging in combat by first expending Gang Qi to condense battle armor was a rather conservative approach on Li Jingyun’s part.
Nevertheless, this suited Fang Yan’s wishes. He truly looked forward to facing such an opponent, thus, at this moment, Fang Yan also put away his casual smile and began to circulate a spell, but unlike Li Jingyun, Fang Yan didn’t fully unleash his power—he didn’t want the battle to end too soon, as that would be no fun.
Fang Yan’s body emitted a faint white Gang Qi, just covering a range of about a dozen feet, and then it quickly retracted, not forming any Gang Qi battle armor, instead just gathering the Gang Qi in his hands, clearly intending to engage in close combat with Li Jingyun.
"You want to fight in close quarters?"
Li Jingyun looked at Fang Yan in this state, asking with a puzzled expression. He had already formed his Gang Qi battle armor, yet Fang Yan hadn’t done so, merely gathering Gang Qi in his hands. It seemed as though Fang Yan intended to fight in close quarters—this approach seemed clearly disadvantaged, Li Jingyun thought, what was Fang Yan thinking?
"Of course, it’s more exciting this way," Fang Yan said casually, looking at Li Jingyun. In fact, this was exactly his thought process. The earlier battle with Feng Lun wasn’t satisfying enough; now seeing Li Jingyun, he wanted to seriously engage in a proper fight. Li Jingyun wasn’t Feng Lun, he believed this battle would indeed be very exciting.
"Alright, let me witness your close combat prowess." With Fang Yan’s words, Li Jingyun’s fighting spirit surged. After leaving this statement, he sprang into action, rushing towards Fang Yan at an ultimate speed, akin to a white flash. He raised his hand to unleash a punch towards Fang Yan, though it contained no Gang Qi, it should not be forgotten that Li Jingyun was clad in white Gang Qi battle armor. Moreover, Li Jingyun himself was in the late Human Immortal Realm, making the punch’s power terrifying even without any techniques!
Power burst forth; the surrounding space vaguely trembled. Thunderous roaring sounds radiated from his fist, and more dramatically, this punch stirred two air waves that spread sideways, reminiscent of waves left behind by a fast-moving ship at sea. This demonstrated how terrifyingly mighty Li Jingyun’s punch was, absurdly speaking, it could open mountains, likely even collapse a peak before it!
"Bring it on!"
Upon witnessing Li Jingyun’s exceedingly astonishing punch, Fang Yan’s eyes lit up, and he yelled out with excitement. With a flick of his form, he shot forward like a white light, vanishing from his original spot!
His fist glowed with a crystalline white light, emitting an unwatchable brilliance. Under extreme speed, this ray seemed like a shooting star, its surface exuding an indescribable might. Wherever it passed, a vacuum path arose, making Fang Yan appear like a figure zooming through a tunnel. Speed continuously increased, and in an instant, he moved so swiftly that he was barely visible.
Furthermore, on Fang Yan’s fist, due to tremendous speed, it even sparkled with hints of red light from rubbing against the air, showing that this punch from Fang Yan was indeed extraordinary...
