The tavern was not large and it was already packed with the hundreds of noble spiritas maidens in this place.
But it was not difficult for Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei to strengthen the existing defensive arrays in this place and to create a protective barrier in the middle of the banquet hall with her defensive spirit talismans.
Once it was done, Xu Yufei said quietly as she flickered her fingers to activate the defensive arrays. "You can all duel now."
Ji Yuan had stepped forward unsteadily as he was actually quite drunk to begin with.
And the 3 great saints Gongsun Yi, Ru Lianxi and Yi Xinfa that challenged Ji Yuan had also stepped inside the protective barrier in the middle of the tavern hall.
Gongsun Yi nodded to Yi Xinfa and Ru Lianxi as they raised their heaven-step divine swords to point at Ji Yuan; today was the day that they would gain their honor and trust points in front of all the divine consorts in the Snowy Pavilion City.
They were all thinking the same; the victor is always to be admired and the loser to be scorned. Once they have defeated Ji Yuan, not only would their Divine Consort Dongfang Xin be praising them but all the divine consorts would be doing the same thing as well.
Also, they were fellow champions with the Smiling Divine Maiden and yet she had never taken a look at them. Today was also the day that they earned the praises of the most beautiful divine maiden in the Snowy Pavilion City.
And right now, they could even hear her gasping after Ji Yuan. "Junior Brother, be careful!"
Gongsun Yi said to Ji Yuan, "Great Saint Ji Yuan, you really have the guts to fight three great saints at the same time. But don't cry for mercy after you have regretted it."
"Haha…" Ji Yuan chuckled. "I don't know if I have the guts or not but the three of you certainly have the courage to challenge me. This is indeed admirable."
This was actually part of the psychology battle between the duelists and Ji Yuan knows it only too well. Therefore, he refused to be cowered by Gongsun Yi.
The profound aura of Yi Xinfa had suddenly exploded mightily as he stepped forward and a spirit animus of a giant tortoise monster was formed protectively around him; he was a defense cultivator and from the look of it, his profound defense was extremely robust.
In fact, many of the noble spiritas maidens were wondering if their spirit talismans would be able to hurt this Yi Xinfa at all.
Yi Xinfa said to Gongsun Yi and Ru Lianxi, "Brothers. I shall cover the two of you while you are attacking this Ji Yuan. Go ahead and use all your profound strength for your offensive profound attacks…"
No sooner had he said that, Ji Yuan had flashed in front of him and he had swung his emperor-step sword to strike at Yi Xinfa with his Sacred Sword Pillar, causing a brilliant flare of white light to explode on him.
Yi Xinfa was astonished that Ji Yuan was so quick but he was not worried because he was an extreme defense cultivator in the Celestial Realm and it would take many powerful profound attacks to even bypass his Heavenly Xuanwu Spirit.
But to his horror, a sword stroke had slashed him across his chest, shattering his Heavenly Xuanwu Spirit and had sent him to fly all the way until he was knocked out by the inertia barrier.
Unknown to him, Ji Yuan's Sacred Sword Pillar is actually a miracle sword profound art.
Ji Yuan had been quite merciful to Yi Xinfa and he had only slashed him hard on his chest and by not killing him. If he had slashed even an inch deeper, the golden body of this Yi Xinfa would be shattered and he would be killed.
Ru Lianxi and Gongsun Yi were both power cultivators and they quickly attacked him with their best profound attacks.
In that instant, they had mustered several blasts of profound attacks against Ji Yuan but to their horror, Ji Yuan simply swung his divine sword and scattered their profound energies into nothingness.
Then while they were still mustering their profound strength to continue their profound attacks, Ji Yuan had already slashed the two of them and sent them back 5 steps!
5 steps!
This mean that Ji Yuan's profound power in his slash was 50% stronger than their profound defense and that was why they had taken 5 steps backward!
They were stunned because Ji Yuan had not even mustered his profound attacks yet and he could hurt them through their protective profound aura…
Ji Yuan on the other hand was delighted; he had become so strong now with a superior divine sword in his hands that he could even hurt two powerful power cultivators.
This of course had to do with his 81 purple lightning tribulations and his newly acquainted 1000 years attainment from the Minor Miracle Sanctorum Pill.
Gongsun Yi and Ru Lianxi refused to believe that they were no match for Ji Yuan's profound strength as they attacked again by displaying all their internal and external martial profound arts together.
Instantly, the air had exploded with the mighty profound power of their profound attacks that were directed at Ji Yuan; they were throwing 100% of all their profound strength against Ji Yuan now.
Ji Yuan simply displayed his Ultra Sword Spirit and he had sent the two of them to fly back ten steps with another slash of his divine sword.
This time round though, Ji Yuan was so fast that Gongsun Yi and Ru Lianxi did not even see his attack coming.
But when they saw his Ultra Sword Spirit, they were shaken with trembling fear by his sword intentions and no matter how dense they were, they know that Ji Yuan was only playing with them and he did not even use his full profound strength yet.
They were not stupid to continue fighting against Ji Yuan anymore as it would only worsen their own humiliations; this Ji Yuan was too freak and they could not believe that they were simply overpowered just by the profound power of his divine sword alone.
No matter how they increased their own profound power through their epitome profound arts, it still paled in comparison against Ji Yuan with just his divine sword and sword spirit.
Gongsun Yi simply muttered, "I've lost…"
And then he was pulling the unconscious Yi Xinfa away panicky and he was thinking: This Ji Yuan is just too terrifying!
Ru Lianxi coughed out blood as he clutched onto his chest as he staggered off as well. But unlike Gongsun Yi, he was too ashamed to say a word.
If he had known that this Sword Saint Ji Yuan who was a lowly sword cultivator would be this strong, he would not even think of coming tonight to be humilated in this manner…
He could only silently gasp with shock: This Ji Yuan is a freak cultivator. I've better don't offend him anymore or I will surely die without knowing why…
Ji Yuan looked a little disappointed that the duel was over so quickly and he had only used only a single sword profound art which was the Sacred Pillar Sword against Yi Xinfa.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm "This is over so fast?!"
When he had said that, all the noble spiritas maidens were all clapping and looking flustered; the image of Ji Yuan had furthered deepened in their minds and filled them with more adulations for him.
Most of them were a little worried that Ji Yuan may not be able to handle Yi Xinfa's formidable profound defense but he was actually the first one to be knocked down.
To see Ji Yuan in action was even better than just viewing his heroic deeds inside the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower and in this place, they could all use their spirit divine senses to gauge the profound strength of Ji Yuan and his opponents.
Thunderous applauds and flustered looks had quickly exploded nonstop until Ji Yuan had walk back to his seat.
As Ji Yuan walked back to his seat, he turned to look at Destiny with a grin. "The Great Oracle is right. Haha… this is too easy for me."
When Destiny had received Ji Yuan's praises all of a sudden, she lowered her head with great coyness…
This was not lost on Bai Qianfeng who could not believe what she was actually seeing…
Ji Yuan, how do you clean up this mess that you've created?
Nor was it lost on Little Princess as well who was quite well versed in the matters of the heart.
