Chapter 378 - The [Listening to Spring Rain at Night], Xiao Lou!

Translator: Aran

“Third Huangshu, what do you mean?” There was a coldness that spread across Xing’er’s face.

Yu Feiyan smiled.

“This is only a spar. There is no need to worry,” the cold faced youth carrying a blade in the green clothes said calmly. “Unless Princess you have no confidence in the strength of [War God]?”

“Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to speak to me?” There was an iciness and fury that filled Xing’er’s beautiful pupils. Then she gave a glare like lightning at him, “You are only a begging dog at the mercy of someone else. Your master hasn’t even spoken, but you dare bark? Do you know the rules?”

The expression of the green-clothed blade bearer turned berserk.

There was a fury that flickered in his pupils. The blade in his hands shook, and there was a fierce aura that seeped to ones bones passing by in the air. This was a killing aura that was ultimately suppressed.

The other guests of the Apex Prince behind him also had different expressions.

Although she was a princess, but the words of this girl were really too harsh and humiliating towards them. It was like thorn after thorn that stabbed into these people with extraordinary abilities. There were even people with worse tempers amongst them that directly stood up, his face unfriendly as he glared at Xing’er.

If this little girl was not the princess of the Empire, they would have long acted and crushed her.

But in the air, there were hidden currents and killing intent that surged over and attacked her.

These were the guests of the Apex Prince acting hiddenly against her. They wanted to teach this little princess with such a horrid mouth a lesson. The aim was not to hurt her but to make her learn.

“Impudence!”

The expression of Yu Feiyan changed, his sleeve lightly swiping.

The hidden air currents that surged towards Xing’er completely dissipated.

Yu Feiyan was originally a martial expert with deep and unfathomable strength. He came from the Imperial family, and there was the bloodline of martial experts flowing through his body. He had countless martial cultivation techniques he could study, limitless cultivation resource he could use. Compared to a normal person, he was infinitely more blessed. It was only that his official power was too high, and he rarely acted personally. Therefore his martial fame was not too evident.

“Haha, Third Huangshu, the dogs that you raise are really disobedient.”

Xing’er coldly mocked.

If there was a gentleness and intimateness that flashed by when she saw Yu Feiyan, then after that cold-faced green-clothed blade bearer challenged Ye Qingyu to a spar, that gentleness completely disappeared. The youth that was eccentric, but did not possess high personal strength in Ye Qingyu’s impression seemed suddenly as if she had changed into a completely different person. Right now, she was incomparably icy and harsh.

Yu Feiyan shook his head with a smile, not saying anything.

Towards this niece, he had a helplessness from spoiling her too mouth.

“You are still as sharp-tongued as ever. I remember when you were small, you even dared to scold at your father. We made you go learn the Painting Arts from Liu Yuqing to control your temper, but it seemed you have not grown…” Yu Feiyan smiled. “I know what you are thinking. You feel that I have sought you intentionally today to make things difficult for your little boyfriend, is that right? Little girl, you are overthinking it… But the [Three Thousand Feet of White Hair] that belongs to the Imperial family appeared in his hands and to the world once again, this is something I cannot stand by and let happen. Since we met coincidentally, this is only a martial contest, so why don’t we let them fight and just stop before anyone gets hurt?”

This tone seemed to be negotiating something with Xing’er, but it did not leave her much room to decline.

Xing’er coldly sneered, and was about to say something, but Ye Qingyu next to her stepped forward, lightly grabbed her sleeve and shook his head. “Let me take care of this.”

Then he paid a greeting towards Yu Feiyan. “Since the Apex Prince has personally spoken, then I will not decline. I can only follow orders.”

Yu Feiyan nodded.

Xing’er looked like she was about to say something, but ultimately did not open her mouth.

Ye Qingyu smiled, and turned around. He walked over, once again facing the green-clothed bladesman. “May I ask your name?”

From start to finish, he did not have any emotional fluctuation.

No matter whether when it was Xing’er exploding with anger, or Yu Feiyan speaking, he was terrifyingly calm.

Right now, facing the stare of Ye Qingyu, he calmly returned Ye Qingyu’s gaze. “Xiao Lou.”

There was a shock that was exposed in Ye Qingyu’s eyes.

“Xiao Lou? The [Listening to Spring Rain at Night], Xiao Lou?” He could not help but ask further.

The opposing party still nodded his head.

The [Listening to Spring Rain at Night], Xiao Lou!

Ye Qingyu deeply breathed in. There was a battle will that gradually began to burn in his chest.

Because no matter whether it was the Dugu family, the Ouyang family or the Two River Gang, the information they provided all mentioned this name.

This somewhat feminine name had once shaken the entire Snow Capital.

One year ago, Xiao Lou had appeared in the capital.

No one knew where he came from or who he was.

They only knew that one year ago when he appeared in the capital, he had incited a bloody battle!

A year and one month ago, the first battle Xiao Lou had was with the [Tearing Heaven Hands], Chen Nan. The latter was a famed expert who had long entered into the Stream state of the Bitter Sea stage. But he was defeated in one strike by Xiao Lou.

Eleven months ago, Xiao Lou once again challenged the [Transforming Heavens Absolute Claws], Li Guiyuan. He had defeated him completely.

Ten months ago, Xiao Lou had challenged the [Tyrannical Blade], Jiang Feng. He had defeated him completely again.

Nine months and eleven days ago…

Eight months ago…

Eight months and eighteen days ago…

In this year and a month, this bladesman called Xiao Lou had defeated twenty-one famed experts within the capital with only his palm and carrying that curved blade with a black hilt!

Twenty-one battles. No matter whether it was he who challenged others or them who challenged him, he had never suffered defeat.

Within the capital, for an outsider, such a battle record was absolutely earth shaking.

Therefore Xiao Lou’s name had spread throughout the capital.

But without knowing why, six months ago, he had suddenly disappeared from public sight and became much more low key. It was rumoured that this martial genius had gone to Yu Feiyan’s factions. From the current scene today, this rumour was not wrong.

There was still a black hilted curved blade in the arms of this young expert. But it was rumoured that he had only used his hands when he defeated his opponents.

No one knew, just how terrifying the power would be when his blade came out of its sheath.

There were people that were worth him unsheathing his sword for.

But the people who had seen his sword had all died.

To think that he would encounter the challenge of this person today.

There was not any fear in Ye Qingyu’s heart, but an expectant excitement.

Tho fight with a true top level expert was really an opportunity that was hard to obtain.

“Please!”

Ye Qingyu lifted his hands, pointing to the little martial courtyard far away.

Xiao Lou gave a glance to Yu Feiyan.

Yu Feiyan let out a chuckle. “Prepare the arena.”

As his voice sounded out, there were two guests that walked out from the crowd behind the Apex Prince.

From their appearance, these two guest masters should be formation smithing masters. They were definitely not normal people. They wore long robes of scarlet red and had a serious aura. Their hands formed seals, and there were formation tools that were thrown out. Their fingers constantly changed their positions, and shadows began seeping out between their fingers, smothering the heavens.

There was a vast energy fluctuating in the air.

The two guest masters willed it, and their hand seals that were constantly transforming finally halted.

At that moment, the floating and spinning shadows quickly descended, landing on the deck.

“Bang!”

Along with a hum, the shadows on the dock quickly constructed themselves into a strange and complicated formation array. There was a light screen that was born from this that wrapped Ye Qingyu as well as Xiao Lou within, isolating their aura.

Everyone backed away.

Yu Feiyan returned to the purple gold throne, sitting there calmly.

There were some guards that found a luxurious soft wood chair from somewhere and indicated for Xing’er to take a seat.

Princess Xing’er looked with burning eyes towards the situation.

At the same time, both Ye Qingyu and Xiao Lou that was within the formation array could not hear the noise outside at all nor could they see the outside at all

To prevent disturbing the spar between the two, the guards had already erected a formation that isolated the two from the outside world. Not even a wisp of wind could enter.

Ye Qingyu looked around him, then his gaze looked away from the light projection that constantly undulated. Courteously, he said, “Please.”

Before he had finished.

““Whoosh!

Ye Qingyu heard an extremely piercing noise from his ear. There was a figure that flashed in the air.

Xiao Lou had fiercely stepped out, leaping. HIs figure was like lightning, directly attacking straight at Ye Qingyu.

In the light of a spark, Xiao Lou had already leapt into the air above Ye Qingyu.

There was a pale black blade sheath in his hands that struck down from the skies. There was a purple moonlight radiance in the skies, even the air itself was ripped apart. There were constantly sounds of explosions.

Such an offensive had the aura of seemingly beheading Heaven and Earth. This shocked even Ye Qingyu.

But this was not the palm strike that defeated so many famed experts.

This was striking out with his blade sheath.

Ye Qingyu suddenly deeply breathed in. There was force fluctuating in his body that flowed into his right arm. His inner yuan suddenly exploded, and an infinite cold aura boiled, the cold seeping aura spreading everywhere into the bones. With an enraged shout, his hands formed into a fist that struck towards Xiao Lou!

The [Dragon Fist] mantra.

The first technique that Ye Qingyu acted with, was the technique he used the most recently.

“Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!“

They faced each other, neither preparing to give an inch!

the instant the fist met with the blade sheath, there was a terrifying power that exploded and tore apart the surrounding air!

The explosive booms in the air were like beans bursting in the air, so loud that even the deaf could hear it.

After their initial testing, Ye Qingyu retreated some steps while Xiao Lou only took a step and a half back.

“An extremely powerful fellow. This fist used half of my power. After the military training, half of my power is no longer someone at the same state as me can fight against! But this fellow barely seemed to expend any effort in receiving this blow.”

“This person’s strength, is definitely above myself!”

There was such a thought that appeared in Ye Qingyu’s mind. Deeply breathing in, he suppressed the numbness originating from his right fist.

And within Xiao Lou’s eyes, his cold gaze had finally changed. There was a scorching heat within, the aura in his body rapidly rising, like the tide fiercely gathering!

“Whoosh!”

The next instant, Xiao Lou once again demonstrated his quick footwork. The blade hilt held in his hearts seemed to sense the excitement of his master. It faintly shook, emitting humming noises!

The two once again struck against each other, locked in battle!

The will of the fists were like Dragons.

The gust of the blade was like lightning.

When they exchanged blows, there was a terrifying force that began to spread —
