Chapter 100: The First Battle Between Humans and Yao
A proud roar sounded, and the beast's foot crashed down. At this moment, Ji You had already picked up the child.
But the powerful beast's foot was also stepping down, and there was no time to avoid it.
At the critical moment, Ji You directly swung his fist upwards, and the mountain-shaking punch soared into the sky, causing the strange beast to let out a roar and then fall back half a step to the right.
For a moment, the entire Chang Sheng Avenue fell silent.
A burly Yao Race member flipped down, his aura swirling wildly, his imposing manner overwhelming.
The next instant, a gleaming silver spear came straight at him, overflowing with Killing Intent.
“Damn it, not only did you not flee after causing trouble, but you also hit someone? Do you have any sense of reason?”
Ji You quickly retreated with the child in his arms, unable to help but curse.
He wasn't here to cause trouble; he was just trying to save someone, but he didn't expect the other party to attack without a word.
He didn't know if the Yao Race's Cultivation Technique was the same as the Human Race's, but he clearly sensed that the owner of this spear was much stronger than him, so he could only dodge when caught off guard.
Who knew that the silver spear had no intention of letting him go, chasing directly like a Dragon.
With a clang, Ji You directly drew his sword, Spiritual Qi filled the sword body and he met it head-on, a Dragon's roar and a tiger's roar echoed as the Sword Qi tore through the air.
The silver spear looked light and soft, but the Qi it swept with was extremely powerful. Upon impact, Ji You's three-foot iron sword sparked, and his hand went numb.
What the hell do the Yao Race drink to grow up? Strength?
The spear owner, also a Yao person with horns on his head, was very surprised to see this scene.
It was his first time in Human Race territory, and he was escorting a noble member of his clan, so the risks he might encounter were unpredictable. Therefore, this Yao Race guard had always been on edge, especially before landing, he had been paying attention to the front.
So when he felt the Spiritual Qi fluctuation, he immediately drew his spear.
But he didn't expect that this person, despite his low Cultivation Realm, could withstand his three Splitting Water Strikes without any harm, not even a cracked tiger's mouth.
One must know that his Splitting Water Strike was forged by horizontally cleaving water, and although it hadn't reached the point where it could truly cut off a water flow, it was still a powerful attack, capable of sweeping through his clan.
Moreover, among the myriad races in the Qingyun World, the Human Race's physique was the weakest; they shouldn't have been able to block it at all.
The Yao person regained his composure and came with his spear again, a flurry of spear blossoms thrusting forward.
Ji You couldn't spare his other hand at this moment, so he could only try his best to use Qi to dodge, his iron sword constantly colliding with the silver spear, retreating ten zhang amidst the clangs, his blood and Qi constantly surging from the attacks. The other Yao Race members who arrived later also reached Chang Sheng Avenue, frowning deeply at this scene.
“This Human Race Cultivator is quite interesting.”
“A Qiu uses Splitting Water Strike, which can split water with the spear body. How can a Human Race body withstand it?”
“It's useless. A Qiu's interest has been piqued. Three moves, I bet three moves, and this Human Race will be defeated.”
The sudden sound of battle attracted many Cultivators. When they saw Ji You being beaten so badly that he couldn't even lift his head, everyone was instantly stunned.
Looking at the opposite side, they were immediately shocked.
Yao Race!
For nearly a thousand years, after the Ancient War, there had been no Yao Race in Kyushu.
It was like seeing a creature that shouldn't exist, how could they not be surprised.
And what surprised them even more was how this Yao Race got into a fight with Ji You of Tianshu Academy.
“What happened?”
“Uh, I don't know why the Yao Race suddenly came to Shengjing City. Just now, when they landed, they almost stepped on a child, and Ji You saved him.”
“It's, it's really his style—————·
From a distance, everyone saw Ji You constantly retreating with the child in his arms, his hands and feet tied, completely unable to fight back.
The Yao Race's Cultivation Technique is different from the Human Race's, so it's hard to judge their Realm, but judging from his aura, the Yao Race member using the spear should be above the Rongdao Realm, but he doesn't have the aura of the Yingtian Realm.
The most crucial thing is that although his Spear Intent is incredibly fierce, it doesn't contain any magical arts; it relies entirely on strength.
At this moment, some people were observing with cold eyes, looking at Ji You, thinking to themselves that this person had caused countless storms in Tianshu Academy, arrogant and unbridled, but unexpectedly, he was being suppressed today, which was truly satisfying.
“He deserves it. It seems that evil people will always be punished by other evil people.”
“Ji You causes trouble all day long. Doesn't this count as kicking a steel plate now?”
Amidst the discussions, Ji You swung his sword and flew back, increasing his speed with the vast Spiritual Qi, dodging the spear's sweep.
The sharp sword fell with a clear sword hum.
With a clang, a long mark was cut into the stone road, but it failed to get close to the spear-wielding Yao Race member. Instead, a spear thrust pursued him to his brow.
Ji You dodged with a whistle, retreating three steps, panting heavily.
At this moment, the Cultivators who had been watching the show suddenly frowned, and a hint of displeasure welled up in their hearts because they suddenly realized that the Human Race was the master of the Qingyun World, and in their perception, the Yao Race should be one Rank lower than them.
Now, the Yao Race was acting ferociously within the Human Race Imperial City, and there were other Yao Race members nearby betting on how many moves it would take for Ji You to lose, which changed the meaning of the situation.
Several of them exchanged glances, thinking to themselves that they didn't know why this Yao Race had suddenly come, and why they had encountered Ji You of all people.
If they had met a direct Disciple of Tianshu Academy or something, let's see if this Prodigy would still dare to be so arrogant.
At this moment, Ji You finally fought and retreated, arriving at the entrance of the silk shop. Under everyone's gaze, the child in his arms was thrown out, landing in a bamboo basket filled with soft silk.
“?!”
“He was looking for a place to put the child down all along?”
The spear-wielding Yao Race member immediately became enraged, exerting force in his palm and thrusting his spear out again.
At this moment, Ji You had already stood firm, then raised his sword to meet it, and amidst the clashing Sword Intent, sword waves surged wildly.
At the same time, the storage gourd at his waist flashed with Spiritual Light, and the remaining two swords instantly unsheathed, floating in the air.
Seeing this, the Cultivators standing nearby immediately widened their eyes. They heard a clang, and Ji You repeatedly tried to get close to him by shaking his sword, his tiger's mouth already red and purple.
Buzz!
The sword waves surged, and the Yao Race guard immediately pulled back his spear to sweep. However, Ji You let go of his sword at this moment and switched to another one, directly thrusting forward.
The Yao Race guard's pupils suddenly constricted.
What kind of Sword Style is this?!
Before he could react, Ji You's sword had already reached him and was blocked by his horizontal spear, but the next instant, the sword in his left hand pierced upwards.
No magical arts, no magical arts, no magical arts!
Ji You muttered, switching between the three swords, the sword waves surging wildly, actually pushing back the ten zhang he had previously lost.
As long as there were no magical arts, in terms of Spiritual Qi quantity and speed, Ji You at this moment had no fear at all.
At this moment, the few Yao Race members standing behind this Yao Race guard gradually restrained their smiles, frowning in astonishment, while the onlookers gradually widened their eyes.
The next moment, buzzing sounds filled the air, and two swords whistled through the wind.
The Yao Race guard seemed to have never seen such a way of using a sword, and his footwork and rhythm were directly disrupted. At this moment, a sword pierced through, directly cutting a bloody mark on his face, and blood flowed freely.
Ji You then withdrew his sword and retreated, standing at the street, his Sword Intent clashing.
The surrounding Human Race Cultivators were stunned for a long time, finally clenching their fists, thinking to themselves that it had to be this rustic rogue Cultivator...——
The Yao Race suddenly arrived at the Human Race Imperial City. Regardless of the reason, the first conflict would inevitably spread, and the significance of this sword strike would be magnified countless times.
The first to bleed was the Yao Race, so the Human Race's face was saved.
“Damn it, it's all thanks to him———””
“Three swords, did you see clearly? Only three swords, and he wasn't even using his full strength!”
At this moment, the Yao Race guard heard the whispers from all directions, and then touched a streak of blood on his face, immediately becoming furious. His entire body's aura surged, and the spear shaft trembled, but at this moment, a voice from behind told him to stop, making him freeze in place.
Their Yao Race's purpose for this trip was to negotiate trade with Great Xia. Although it was just a formality, it would be bad to continue fighting.
If a Human Race Cultivator blocked the Yao Race envoy group on the street, and accidentally killed someone out of vigilance, that would be one thing. But if they insisted on killing a Human Race member here, it would be difficult to explain.
The Yao Race did not fear the Seven Great Immortal Sects, and naturally did not fear the Great Xia Imperial Family, but even so, as newcomers to Kyushu, they should not make enemies with the Human Race too early.
“Good sword, may I ask Your Excellency's name?”
“I don't change my name when I walk, nor my surname when I sit. I am Chu River, an Outer Courtyard Disciple of Tianshu Academy, living in Youzhou, just northwest of Shengjing City. You can find out by asking anyone.”
“Damn it, it really is a good sword——”
The Cultivator upstairs's mouth twitched after hearing this, thinking to himself, what a brilliant move to divert trouble to the east! This skill of lying through his teeth must be his true Secret Skills, damn it.
The young Yao Race member who spoke was no different from a Human Race, except for his demon-blue eyes. Hearing this, his gaze softened slightly.
Outer Courtyard? Just Outer Courtyard?
He sized up Ji You, then frowned, and led his people towards the Imperial Palace.
“Send a message back. The Human Race Cultivators are not as weak as we thought. The previous information might have been wrong.”
“A Qiu, you have shamed our clan. Go back and pull out your own scales.”
Yes
At this moment, Ji You looked back at the end of the street, and seeing that the child was unharmed, he put his sword away.
Kuang Cheng had already run downstairs to check on the child, then came to Ji You's side: “How are you? Are you alright?”
“I'm fine, but that spear Qi was truly powerful. It made my wrist a bit sore. If I hadn't used a trick, I might not have been able to hit him with a sword.”
“This Yao Race is truly barbaric. You should go back to Tianshu Academy quickly. I'll go to the Immortal Supervisor to report them!”
“Report them to death.”
Kuang Cheng nodded, then ran towards the Immortal Supervisor. Ji You stood in place for a long time, then turned and returned to Tianshu Academy.
At this moment, You Buyu and He Lingxiu had already arrived at the Ascension White Jade Platform in the Outer Courtyard from the white jade pavilion in the Purple Bamboo Zen Forest, gathering the Disciples who were going to Asked the Dao Sect, intending to give them a pre-departure speech.
However, the assembly time had already passed by half an hour, and Ji You still hadn't arrived. You Buyu's face became very gloomy.
When he first got the list, he frowned deeply when he saw that Ji You was also in the team. He then thought about how to give him a warning, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to receive the warning first.
Originally, the Outer Courtyard and Inner Courtyard were already discussing that a direct Disciple of a Hall Master was not as good as an Outer Courtyard Disciple in the heart of the Dan Sect's daughter, which greatly angered him.
Now, seeing that Ji You didn't even bother to show up, completely disregarding him, his Killing Intent surged even more.
Just then, Ji You came from down the mountain, swinging his wrist as he walked up the mountain gate's divine path. A fierce glint flashed in You Buyu's eyes instantly.
However, before he could react, the three Master-in-charge of the Master's Courtyard hurried down the mountain, seemingly extremely flustered.
As soon as Ji You entered the mountain gate, he was stopped by the three Master-in-charge, followed by a flurry of whispered conversations with furrowed brows and wide eyes. There were also Disciples from Tianshu Academy in Shengjing City at that time, who were walking towards the Baiyu Platform while watching. Before they had even walked two steps, they saw You Buyu and immediately bowed in salute.
“What did Ji You do?”
“He—he went to fight on the street.”
You Buyu's face was gloomy: “Cultivators should have a pure heart, but he, an Outer Courtyard Disciple, is constantly seeking fights. The Tianshu Academy Disciples were surrounded by Lingjian Mountain and Asked the Dao Sect in the ruins, probably because of the personal grudges he caused, which made our Tianshu Academy lose face, and I even had to go there myself.”
Upon hearing this, Ban Yangshu, Wen Zhengxin, and Pei Ruyi in the crowd instantly widened their eyes in anger.
They were eyewitnesses to the encirclement incident, so they naturally knew that it had nothing to do with Ji You.
This You Buyu actually opened his mouth and put such a big hat on him, wasn't he trying to kill and condemn him!
You Buyu looked at that Disciple at this moment: “Who did he fight with? A fellow Disciple, or an envoy from another sect?”
“With—the Yao Race.”
Upon hearing these two words, the Baiyu Platform first quieted down a few moments, then there was a gasp, and countless gazes were filled with disbelief.
One must know that the Yao Race had not appeared in Human Race territory for nearly a thousand years. Now, they suddenly appeared in Shengjing City and even got into a fight with Ji You.
This could almost be considered the first encounter between the Human Race and the Yao Race after a thousand years!
As they thought about it, another gasp suddenly sounded.
This time, the first to exclaim were naturally the smart ones, who finally understood why the three Master-in-charge had suddenly come down the mountain to find him personally.
Because they all simultaneously realized one thing: no matter how big or small this encounter was, it concerned the face of the Human Race Immortal Sect.
“Who won?”
“Ji You was unharmed, but the Yao Race member was stabbed by him.”
Upon hearing this, You Buyu's eyes widened in astonishment, realizing that the accusation he had intended to make against him was completely meaningless.
In fact, he couldn't even erupt on the spot at this moment.
At the same time, the Master-in-charge of the Master's Courtyard also seemed to have heard similar descriptions, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
The first battle between the Yao Race and the Human Race was represented by Tianshu Academy. Although it happened suddenly, if they lost at this critical juncture, then there would be no point in talking about going to Lingjian Mountain to Ask the Dao Sect.
But they never expected that Ji You didn't lose, and even injured the opponent, and on his face!
The three Master-in-charge looked at Ji You, their eyes becoming very complex.
And Ji You saw that they had nothing more to ask, so he walked past them, floated onto the Baiyu Platform, and was about to ask what was wrong when he was attracted by He Lingxiu standing in front.
Her mouth, this Senior Sister, actually possessed such great freedom.
