Chapter 138: Jin Undefeated

A brilliant, golden-clad young man strode into the grand hall!

Dressed in a golden Dharma robe and holding a golden feather fan, he possessed a well-proportioned figure, with a layer of gold foil masking his face!

Gou Jianren's resolute brows knitted together.

Jin Bubai!

The young master of the Jin family, young and exceedingly wealthy!

Even more rare, his cultivation talent was exceptional!

Yet, no matter how extraordinary his talent, it did not warrant such extreme arrogance!

At the very least, when facing the clan ancestor, one should not be this arrogant!

A sharp gleam flashed through the eyes of the Gou family ancestor, though he remained silent.

Jin Bubai cared little, saying with haughty pride, "The Jin family's brothel business spans the entire continent, sought after by mortals and cultivators alike! The family head claims this is all thanks to the Brothel Swordsman, which I naturally refuse to believe, so I have come specifically to see for myself!"

Gou Jianren inwardly thought this boded ill!

Did he look like he was merely here to take a look?

He was clearly here to pick a fight!

Kid Su, you really should have focused on your cultivation and stayed away for a while longer!

Upon the main seat, the Gou family ancestor's expression remained tranquil, betraying neither joy nor anger.

As the helmsman of a major faction, this was merely a minor occasion to him!

He spoke calmly, "With the young master of the Jin family gracing us with his presence, surely you aren't here just to discuss business?"

Jin Bubai shook his head. "The Jin family has plenty of businesses; a little more or a little less matters little. Of course, if this Brothel Swordsman can satisfy me, business can certainly be discussed!"

Gou Jianren could no longer stand it!

Your Jin family forced your way here in the first place, and yet this is your attitude? Is this acceptable behavior?

He chimed in, "Fellow Daoist Jin! The Brothel Swordsman has entered the inner sanctum for cultivation and is not currently here. If we are to discuss business, I must ask the Jin family to show some sincerity!"

"Shut your mouth!" Jin Bubai turned his head and snapped coldly!

Gou Jianren's face instantly burned with humiliation!

Jin Bubai gave him no room to reply, declaring, "The Jin family has sincerity, but you are not qualified to receive it!"

Gou Jianren's aura flared instantly!

After all, I am the master of the commandery branch!

Damn it!

How could the Vastness City Jin family be so utterly unbridled?

He was merely a junior!

Just as he was about to retort, the Gou family ancestor intervened, "Little Friend Jin, if we are not discussing business, then please make your way back!"

Jin Bubai chuckled. "Ancestor Gou, discussing business is not entirely out of the question. Send the Brothel Swordsman out to speak with me!"

The Gou family ancestor fell silent.

The sole creed of the Gou family auction house was to conduct business well!

That was the family motto!

Offending the Jin family would likely make doing business exceedingly difficult.

Unable to hold back any longer, Gou Jianren demanded, "Jin Bubai! Can you truly represent the Jin family?"

Without even turning his head, Jin Bubai replied with arrogant disdain, "You are still not qualified to ask!"

Gou Jianren flew into a rage!

Damn it!

Who raised this brat?

Since no one taught him manners, I will teach him myself!

Without a second thought, his figure surged forward, striking out with a heavy punch!

Jin Bubai gave a light laugh, turned around, and met the blow with a fist of his own!

"Boom!"

The two fists collided, producing a deafening roar!

Gou Jianren felt a massive wave of force wash over him, causing him to instantly recoil and tumble right out of the doorway!

Utter humiliation!

That was the only thought in his mind!

However, not only was Jin Bubai backed by immense influence, but his cultivation realm was also formidable; this grievance had to be swallowed through gritted teeth!

Suddenly.

Someone caught him from behind!

"Senior Gou, how did you manage to end up in such a sorry state on your own turf?"

A familiar voice rang out, filling Gou Jianren with sudden joy!

Su Yizhao?

You arrived just in time!

At least it spared him the embarrassment of a fall!

Yet, the realization hit him instantly. Before he had even steadied himself, he blurted out anxiously, "Kid Su, what are you doing here? Hurry back and cultivate!"

The newcomer was none other than Su Yizhao!

Qin Hongyi, who accompanied him, chimed in, "Weren't you the ones who sent the message?"

Su Yizhao looked into the grand hall, remarking, "I simply had to come and see just who was arrogant enough to run wild around here!"

Inside the hall, a completely golden-clad youth turned his gaze toward him!

Their eyes locked instantly!

A formidable expert!

Su Yizhao narrowed his eyes!

Gou Jianren was at the peak of the Eight-Void Realm, yet he had been reduced to such a wretched state!

Yet, looking at this youth!

He appeared entirely composed and at ease!

"You must be the Brothel Swordsman!" Jin Bubai pointed at him with his golden feather fan!

Brothel, my foot!

Su Yizhao had long wished to shake off this ridiculous moniker!

His figure flashed, and his fist tore through the air in a fierce strike!

Jin Bubai's expression remained unchanged as he let out a low chuckle. "Peak of the Eight-Void Realm! You're courting death!"

Facing the incoming fist, he lashed out viciously with the golden feather fan!

"Crack!"

A beam of golden light shot forth!

Jin Bubai's expression underwent a drastic transformation!

The golden feather fan had actually been knocked from his grip?

With a swift movement, he hurriedly rushed after the flying fan.

Su Yizhao chuckled softly. "Damn it, with just this bit of strength, you dare to run wild?"

His figure flickered, a string of afterimages chaining together in an instant!

Just as Jin Bubai grabbed the golden feather fan, a fist slammed squarely into his back!

The golden Dharma robe on his back bulged slightly, bearing the brunt of the heavy blow!

"Boom!"

The punch struck the golden Dharma robe, but finding no point of leverage, it was instantly deflected away.

Su Yizhao froze in astonishment!

What grade of Void Treasure was this?

One had to know, the power behind that single punch was enough to injure an ordinary cultivator of the Nine-Void Realm!

As Su Yizhao paused for a fraction of a second, Jin Bubai recovered his breath and steadied his stance.

Their eyes met once more!

Within two breaths, the two had already probed each other's true strength!

A look of grave solemnity appeared in Jin Bubai's eyes!

They were evenly matched!

This was something he found utterly difficult to accept!

His first punch could be excused as carelessness!

However, the force behind that second strike had genuinely filled his heart with dread!

Had it not been for the protection of his golden Dharma robe, he would have already sustained injuries!

Composing himself, he looked his opponent up and down carefully!

He looked like a completely ordinary cultivator!

Neither tall nor short!

Plain features!

Only his eyes were exceptionally dark!

That gaze was filled with formidable power!

At that moment, Qin Hongyi's voice drifted in from outside the doorway: "Don't worry, he's exceptionally good at fighting!"

Su Yizhao was left speechless!

Did I have any choice in whether to fight or not?

The gold foil on Jin Bubai's face grew even more brilliant!

"Come up!"

"As you wish!" Su Yizhao did not show the slightest bit of weakness!

"Whoosh!"

Jin Bubai's figure vanished!

Su Yizhao hurriedly asked, "Who on earth is this guy?"

"The young master of the Vastness City Jin family, Jin Bubai!" Gou Jianren wore a worried expression, just about to urge caution when he abruptly realized there was no one left in front of him.

Only a single sentence echoed in his ears!

"I'll return this blow for you!"

Gou Jianren was frozen in place on the spot!

Return the blow?

This was the Vastness City Jin family we were talking about!

Leaving aside whether they could win or not, the sheer backing alone meant they were not someone to be trifled with!

There was certainly a sense of being moved.

Yet far greater was the overwhelming confidence in those words—confidence that somehow made him actually believe it!

"Kid Su is truly remarkable! This time, our Gou family auction house has struck gold!" The Gou family ancestor raised his head to gaze up into the sky.

Su Yizhao soared into the air, only to hear a crisp "shua" as Jin Bubai snapped open the golden feather fan in his right hand!

A complete set of Void Treasures!

This Jin Bubai certainly seemed filthy rich!

In Su Yizhao's eyes, he didn't see a golden figure; he saw piles of profound stones!

Jin Bubai looked solemn, asking softly, "The Brothel Swordsman?"

Su Yizhao shook his head!

This nickname was completely unacceptable!

He had to shake it off once and for all!

The inner sect grand elder had explicitly told him so!

He spoke up, "Do you have any profound stones? Top-grade ones!"

Jin Bubai was baffled!

At their level of cultivation, were profound stones really that scarce?

This was such a solemn occasion! How could he bring up profound stones out of nowhere?

He asked with sullen irritation, "What for?"

Su Yizhao was overjoyed. "You threw a punch at Senior Gou, so originally I was going to beat you up..."

"What?"

Jin Bubai let out a furious roar!

Down below, Gou Jianren was equally dumbfounded!

Damn it!

You're not going to fight him just because of some profound stones, are you?

Jin Bubai's explosive shout drew the attention of numerous cultivators.

Within Vastness City, cultivators gradually gathered around to watch!
