Chapter 2209
The man's prideful and disdainful voice echoed throughout the city, bringing with it an air of authority and condescension.
Is it...? Li Er's heart skipped a beat when he heard those words.
Ye Qingtian, Xiao Chen, and the others were also shocked, and they spun around.
Mo Wuya, who was in utter despair moments earlier, suddenly felt as though he had just been given an adrenaline shot. Even his eyes had lit up with hope all of a sudden.
“It's Jiuzhou...” he voiced out in excitement and joy. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
At that moment, it was as though an angel had just come to his rescue.
The man who's going to defeat Chu Tianfan is finally here! Indeed, Mo Wuya had been waiting for Chen Jiuzhou to arrive in Jiangdong because he knew that apart from Mu Zihua, there was only one other person who could go toe to toe with Ye Fan. Needless to say, that person was the current Hall Master of War God Castle, Chen Jiuzhou.
Sure enough, when they turned in the direction of the voice, they saw Chen Jiuzhou looking dashing in a robe. Besides, a look of arrogance showed on the man's handsome face. Although he looked arrogant, he had an authoritative aura.
While others were ignorant and insolent whenever they acted haughtily, Chen Jiuzhou seemed as though he had earned the right to behave that way. After all, he was only in his thirties, but he had already reached the top of the martial arts world in China. He had already beaten Ye Qingtian and replaced the latter as Hall Master the moment he appeared. Consequently, he became one of the most influential men in the martial arts world of the entire globe. That was why he had every right to be proud of himself.
Just like that, two men of the same generation who were almost equally talented came face-to-face with each other in Jiangdong.
Obviously, it was bound to be a highly anticipated and historical encounter.
After all, no one knew for sure if Chu Tianfan would still be able to continue his undefeated legacy, or could Chen Jiuzhou prove his supremacy by killing the man ranked first in the Sky Ranking.
Naturally, not everyone was pleased to see Chen Jiuzhou.
When Mo Wuya saw him, he felt as though his savior had arrived.
When Ye Qingtian saw Chen Jiuzhou, however, the former was frowning. This is going to turn out badly. These two are equally arrogant and unrestrained. Their encounter would be as catastrophic as a meteorite crashing into Earth. They'll both fight till the other one is dead!
Feeling extremely worried, Ye Qingtian immediately turned toward Chen Jiuzhou and said, “Jiuzhou, I'll deal with the matters concerning Jiangdong. Please bring Wuya back to Mount Yan for treatment.”
Chen Jiuzhou shook his head in response. “You? Dealing with this? I don't think you're capable. This happened because of me, so I ought to end it.”
“But...” Ye Qingtian wanted to say something else.
Before Ye Qingtian could continue his sentence, Chen Jiuzhou had already walked past him and gone straight to Ye Fan.
“Are you Chu Tianfan? How dare you abet Jiangdong to defy orders from War God Castle? Now, you're even hurting the ambassador of War God Castle. Wuya is an important member of War God Castle. How dare you harm him? Today, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to go by the rules and unite the martial arts world in China!” Chen Jiuzhou sneered with his eyes filled with anticipation and determination.
I've waited so long for this day. I've been waiting for Ye Fan to appear so that I can kill him and enhance my reputation! Now, this is my chance to do so!
“Is that so? It seems like you're the man responsible for what's happening in Jiangdong. I was just about to go looking for you on Mount Yan, but you've saved me a trip by coming here!” Ye Fan's gaze was just as frosty as Chen Jiuzhou's.
At the same time, Ye Fan's words were direct and laced with murderous intent.
The moment those two men met, they were immediately at loggerheads with each other.
Ye Fan blasted out a heavy punch immediately, launching Infinite Force, the sixth form of Celestial Cloud.
Like a ferocious tiger, it swept toward Chen Jiuzhou with its mighty power.
Chen Jiuzhou showed no mercy as well, and a wave of powerful aura exploded from his body.
Although Li Er and the others were covering their ears, the powerful punch that brought forth a deafening sound that nearly broke through the sonic barrier almost shattered their eardrums, causing their heads to ache.
Just like that, Hall Master of Dragon God Hall, Chu Tianfan, and Hall Master of War God Castle, Chen Jiuzhou faced off against each other for the first time at Yunzhou.
Boom!
As their fists collided, the terrifying impact resembled the force of a meteorite crashing into Earth.
Everyone at the scene could only see two nearly equally intense forces colliding in the sky.
Right away, the particles in the air shattered and so did the clouds in the sky.
An utterly intense wave of aura ruffled the atmosphere.
Consequently, the city of Yunzhou was about to face the deadliest storm.
Ye Qingtian knew it was going to be disastrous, so he disregarded the injuries he sustained and shouted, “Sword Saint and King of Fighters! Quick! Help me block the shockwave! Otherwise, the impact would be apocalyptic!”
At that point, Ye Qingtian was petrified. This is the city center! How could Ye Fan and Chen Jiuzhou fight here? Don't they care about the consequences? The aftermath of a battle between two Supremes comparable to a fighter of the god realm is equivalent to a miniature nuclear bomb exploding at a high altitude! That sort of shockwave is strong enough to reduce hundreds of buildings to rubble! We've been protecting China for so many years, so we can't possibly sit on our hands and watch the people of Yunzhou suffer.
Knowing that the consequences could be deadly, the three pillars of China used all their energy to form an Internal Energy barrier so that they could prevent the destructive force of the battle from reaching the ground.
Alas, despite giving their all, they were still heavily injured by the horrifying shockwave.
Almost instantaneously, Mo Gucheng and Xiao Chen vomited blood on the spot. Ye Qingtian, on the other hand, lasted almost a minute longer before he started coughing out blood.
Although they were wounded grievously, the three of them held on, blocking the aftermath of Ye Fan and Chen Jiuzhou's punches.
In the air, an intense battle broke out between those two.
The huge counter-shock force engulfed their bodies, and they were both stumbling backward.
While Chen Jiuzhou managed to steady himself after stumbling three steps backward, Ye Fan ended up stumbling nineteen steps backward.
Every time Ye Fan took a step backward, the Qi he discarded would leave a ten-meter-deep crater in the ground.
Ye Fan needed nineteen steps to completely dispel the strength Chen Jiuzhou packed into his punch.
“W-What...” Li Er furrowed his brows deeply and subconsciously took a deep breath when he saw that. I know they were just testing each other out, but who would've known that Mr. Chu would fail to have the upper hand? Is Chen Jiuzhou really that strong, so much so that not even Mr. Chu is capable of fighting him?
With that in mind, Li Er felt his heart sink into his stomach.
Naturally, Ye Qingtian, Xiao Chen, and the others noticed it as well. It seems like Ye Fan lost that encounter. Chen Jiuzhou is scary! Based on what we saw, is it safe to assume that Chen Jiuzhou is even more talented than Ye Fan?
At the same time, Ye Qingtian and the others were having mixed feelings. Should we be happy or worried? After all, it's a good thing someone stronger than Ye Fan showed up in China. However, two strong individuals like them can't coexist! Only one of them will survive in the end.
“Haha! As expected of a guy ranked first in the Sky Ranking. I've never met someone who can remain unscathed after receiving one punch from me.” Chen Jiuzhou stood there with his hands behind his back and smiled devilishly. He was trying his best to hide the fact that he was stunned. I didn't expect him to have the ability to fight me. This fellow has never entered Dragon Gate, but he's already so powerful.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan's gaze was grim, and he was just as startled as Chen Jiuzhou was.
