Chapter 731: The Fight

Everyone in the crowd inhaled sharply, as they could already imagine Zhuge Yun's expression when his hand was stepped on. Thinking of that, they sighed pitifully. Anyone would know that the right hand was very important for an exorcist. If Zhuge Yun's right hand was severed, he would no longer be able to perform any exorcism in his life ever again.

Zhuge Yun was the only pureblood left in the Zhuge Family. The only other person was merely a child that was a few years old. If Zhuge Yun became handicapped now, the Zhuge Family would be finished.

Despite that, no one dared to interfere with this matter.

The Ni Family was the oldest family in the Exorcist City. The young master in the family, Ni Hu, was cruel and never held back whenever he fought. He was used to being arrogant, and whoever that dared to meddle with him was probably one with a death wish.

All of a sudden, something unexpected happened!

A silver blade flew toward the leg that was about to stomp Zhuge Yun's hand and struck the robe, firmly pinning Ni Hu onto where he stood.

Ni Hu's face paled with fear. He glanced around and glowered angrily, yelling, "Whose blade is this? Step forward if you have the guts!"

Zhuge Yun also scanned his surroundings, as blood trickled from his forehead into his eyes. He feared that someone from the Zhuge Family had interfered and would get themselves involved...

"What is it? Does Young Master Ni wish to duel?"

A heavenly voice casually sounded from above Zhuge Yun's head. Curiously, it miraculously calmed his erratically beating heart.

He rubbed his eyes with his hands and looked toward the noisy crowd.

He could tell that the speaker did not belong to the Zhuge Family.

However, Zhuge Yun could not figure out who would meddle with Ni Hu now.

No matter who this person was, he swore not to let them get involved.

Zhuge Yun started feeling dizzy as this thought struck him.

The crowd slowly parted to form a pathway, revealing a couple at the end. Even in a crowded street, these two were easily recognizable.

No wonder the people willingly made way for them.

Their features were sharp and intricate under the light. As the shorter figure strode confidently toward him, spinning the silver blade in her palm, a faint smile lingered on the corner of her lips. He could tell that she was the one who spoke. Trailing behind her was someone's silhouette with ethereal presence, as his indifferent impression and glinting eyes instantly attracted everyone's staring gaze. As their fur capes fluttered in the wind noisily, both of them had already arrived in front of Zhuge Yun.

"Shadow, help Young Master Zhuge up." There was a trace of a smile in Helian Wei Wei's voice, as if Ni Hu did not exist in front of her at all.

Ni Hu was used to always getting his way in the Exorcist City, and it was the first time that anyone dared to challenge him so openly. He glared at Helian Wei Wei with murderous intent, and asked, "Do you know who I am? How dare you prick me with a blade and poke your nose into my business! If you want to interfere, leave me an arm first!"

Instantly, Ni Hu lunged forward in an attempt to grab Helian Wei Wei's shirt.

However, before he could touch her, an indescribably sharp pain erupted from his fingertips, catching him by surprise.

When he looked up again...

A man was standing in front of him and looking down condescendingly, as his dark, deep-set eyes glimmered dangerously. Even without moving, the man could immediately numb his fingers. Then, his knee was inflicted with excruciating pain, making him scream torturously.

When his followers saw their young master in pain, they swiftly rushed toward him.

Without warning, a loud bang boomed!

Everyone was thrown backward, tumbling heavily onto the ground.

Ni Hu had also reached his limit, both of his legs gave in and he broke out in a cold sweat.

The crowd gasped as they saw the scene unfolding upon them.

Zhuge Yun was so shocked, his irises began to quiver. Everyone knew this was not an ordinary fight, as every attack used spiritual aura or the Art of Exorcism.

He had defeated Ni Hu before, but that was a close call.

Without moving so much as a finger, the opponent had forced Ni Hu onto his knees in pain and completely overwhelmed the Ni Family's apprentices with ease.

How powerful would an exorcist have to be to pull this off so beautifully!

Unless they are at the same level as Father...

The same level as Father!

Zhuge Yun's heart began to leap frantically as he thought about this further. His gaze was fixed on Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue, brimming with respect and admiration.

Ni Hu knew that he was facing strong opponents this time. He stepped back reluctantly and pressed a hand onto his leg. After looking around the surrounding crowd, he felt his anger bubble up instantly.

He was the young master of Ni Family and had never been so humiliated. As he retreated, he growled fiercely, "You want to help Zhuge Yun, alright, great! Just wait and see how I strike back!"

Standing directly in front of Ni Hu, Baili Jia Jue seemed unconcerned of his vicious threat, as he simply smoothed the sleeves of his robe elegantly.

That infuriated Ni Hu the most, as he yelled angrily in his heart. Who is this, how dare he put on a show in front of him!

"Who exactly are these two?" Ni Hu yanked one of his apprentices from behind him and demanded.

The already panicking apprentice shook his head profusely, stammering, "I-I don't know."

"You worthless thing!" Ni Hu violently kicked him to the side. He had never been publicly embarrassed like this before, so he needed to avenge himself.

Some of the more observant apprentices came up and said, "Young Master, it seems that they aren't from the Zhuge Family, maybe they're hired? Zhuge Yun was so confident about the test question for the Sarira's ownership, but everyone knows the current state of the Zhuge Family? There's no one left in the family and they could only hire two outsiders to fill in for them."

"Outsiders?" The other apprentice turned pale as he muttered under his breath, "No outsider could possibly defeat us so effortlessly."

Ni Hu felt his anger rising to a boiling point when he heard this. His tone turned ice-cold as he said, "Some people only use violence but are terrible at exorcism. Furthermore, one of them is just an ordinary person and does not have any spiritual aura. It's indeed appropriate to call them outsiders. Zhuge Yun must be daydreaming if he thinks he can win the contest with these two. Does he think anyone can enter the royal tomb? That's absurd!"

"Young Master is right, entering the tomb is not an easy task. With merely these two and Zhuge Yun, I'm certain they would be killed before they even discover the entrance. Eldest Young Lady was the one who suggested entering the royal tomb, and both of them cannot even qualify to stand in front of her. Our Eldest Young Lady is no ordinary being, she is the true reincarnation of Phoenix Girl. From then till now, she is still the best exorcist of the Exorcising Tribe. No matter who comes to help him, it's futile as long as the Eldest Young Lady is here!"
