บท 30: One Against Two

"Wait a second, what do you mean I ruined your face? Your face looks perfectly fine! I didn't even touch you!" Yuan said with a bewildered expression. "If you are going to lie, at least do it better!"

"Th-That's not what I mean! Are you making fun of me, you bastard?!" Du Hai stomped his feet in anger, and he continued, "Because of you, my reputation was ruined! You even embarrassed me in front of Lady Xuan! I won't forgive you even if you die!"

"What an exaggeration. If you are going to kill someone just because they embarrassed you a little bit, you'll have to kill a lot of people in the future. That's going to be a hard lifestyle." Yuan shook his head, and he was unable to comprehend the thought process of these kinds of people.

"So what?! I have already killed tons of people for messing with me, and it'll only get easier in the future! This is a world where the strong eats the weak and where the weak has no privilege to complain!"

Yuan frowned and said, "I don't care what kind of psychopathic world you live in, but I am not in a good mood today, so you should leave me out of it before I get angry."

"Hahahaha!"

The Du Brothers burst out laughing at his words, and they spoke, "So what if you get angry?!"

"What are you going to do to us?!"

"What CAN you do to us?! You are a mere single Spirit Warrior, and we have two Spirit Warriors and one peak Spirit Master!"

"Hahaha! I cannot believe that a nobody like you could be so entertaining!"

"Well, since you made us laugh, we'll give you a quick and painless death."

The Du Brothers withdrew their swords and pointed them at Yuan.

"..."

Yuan silently stared at the Du Brothers with a grim expression, his aura slowly growing sharper and sharper, almost like a sword.

When the Spirit Master saw this, he frowned and said to Du Brothers, "Young Masters, don't underestimate him. He's emitting a powerful aura that doesn't suit his level. He might have the strength to fight those above his own level."

"So what if he can fight people above his own level? We can also do the same!" Du Bai scoffed.

"Are you looking down on us? Even though you are at the Spirit Master level, you are still just a mere guard that's hired by my family!"

Meanwhile, on the opposite side, Yuan asked Xiao Hua, "Do you think I will be able to win against those two?"

"Both of them are in the fifth level Spirit Warrior realm. Although they are slightly better than the disciple you defeated before, it shouldn't be a problem for Brother Yuan."

"That's all I need to hear." Yuan nodded before retrieving his own sword.

"Oh? You also have a peak Spirit-grade weapon? I guess you really didn't wander into the VIP Room by accident! Hahahaha!"

"However, unfortunately for you, having that sword won't change the outcome!"

The Du Brothers then sheathed their swords and pulled out two peak Spirit-grade swords a few seconds later.

"I am going to warn you two one last time! Do not force my hands!" Yuan shouted at them with the sword in his hand tightly grasped.

"Enough bullshitting! Let's get him, Du Bai!"

Du Bai nodded, and the two of them began rushing at Yuan.

"This will be fun!" A wide grin appeared on Yuan's face as he also stepped forward.

A moment later, the three of them clashed, and Yuan maneuvered his sword like an expert, blocking both their sword strikes at once.

"Let's see how long you can keep this up!"

The Du Brothers began releasing a torrent of sword strikes at Yuan.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

However, Yuan either deflected their attacks or perfectly blocked them, albeit barely.

'This is much more difficult than I'd expected! If I want to win this fight, I will have to be the aggressive one!"

After being on the defensive side for a few more strikes, Yuan suddenly stepped forward and began attacking the Du Brothers, catching them off guard.

'What powerful blows!'

'He's not an ordinary one!'

The Du Brothers began sweating after tasting just a few of Yuan's sword strikes.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hua was not even paying attention to their fight, and she had her eyes on the Spirit Master this entire time, as she was prepared to kill him the moment he even tries to interfere with Yuan's fight.

'Just who is this brat? Which Family does he belong to? To think he'd be able to fight the Du Brothers by himself! And it even looks like he's slowly defeating them!' The Spirit Master watched their fight with wide eyes filled with disbelief, and he began worrying that they might have picked the wrong person to fight with.

"..."

The longer the Spirit Master watched Yuan's fight, the more shocked and worried he became.

'This young man is a genius! He's not only fighting back the Young Masters, but he's even growing stronger as he fights! He's a freaking monster! I cannot allow this to continue any longer, or the Young Masters will be in danger!'

The Spirit Master prepared to interrupt the fight, but he suddenly noticed an immense pressure not too far away, causing his eyes to shift to the small figure a few meters away, who was staring dagger at him.

'That little girl… she's an expert like me!'

The Spirit Master's back was instantly soaked in cold sweat after this realization. Anyone would think she was Yuan's little sister at glance, but to think that she would be his guardian instead! It was truly a shocking revelation!

And he was certain that this little girl's cultivation base was much more formidable than his own, as not even Spirit Grandmasters would be able to emit such a terrifying invisible pressure.

However, he cannot just stand there and watch the Du Brothers die to Yuan, as their parents would surely kill him for failing to protect them.
