Zhong Wei looked at the five powerful cultivators Ye Chu had thrown at his feet. There was a hint of excitement in her eyes. Although she had always overestimated Ye Chu’s strength, she had not expected him to surprise her every time. Being able to capture these five people in an instant meant Ye Chu was far stronger than she had imagined.
As for the awe in everyone’s eyes when they looked at him, Ye Chu knew just how difficult it had been to achieve this. First, he had to rely on the Instant Wind Technique, pushing it nearly to its absolute limit, using the technique to drive such speed. Then, he had wrapped his fists in chaotic green qi, ensuring every punch landed precisely.
This was only because these people had not been prepared at all and had been caught off guard by Ye Chu. Had they been ready, accomplishing this would have been nearly impossible.
“Captain Kuangfeng, can you let us go now?” Ye Chu kicked one of the cultivators at his feet hard. They were bound by Ye Chu’s power, lying there completely like corpses.
Kuangfeng stared intently at Ye Chu, looking at the five cultivators before him. His expression was extremely grim. These five people were the foundation of the Kuangfeng Group’s foothold in the wasteland. If these five were killed, the Kuangfeng Group would struggle to survive on him alone. Moreover, one of the five was his own brother.
“If you do not want them to die, then all of you get out of my way!” Ye Chu shouted at the crowd, his eyes shooting cold glances at them. He was not afraid of these cultivators. The only one he was wary of was Kuangfeng.
Kuangfeng’s strength was at the sixth level of the Emperor realm, on the verge of breaking through to the seventh level. Against such a figure, Ye Chu had no confidence in fully holding his own. The gap of four levels was too vast, especially with Zhong Wei by his side.
It was true that Zhong Wei had reached the Emperor realm, but this woman herself had said she could only dance and not fight. Bringing her along was like carrying a burden.
“What? Do you want them to die?” Ye Chu stepped on one of the cultivators, looking at Kuangfeng with cold eyes. “I do not want to repeat myself!”
Kuangfeng’s expression turned cold and sinister. He stepped forward and said, “You have impressive skills, sir. But do you truly think you can threaten us with them? We live every day licking blood from the edge of a blade. Do you think we fear death? If you kill them, I will make the two of you wish you were dead. Especially Zhong Wei. I will have every man here violate her one by one.” Kuangfeng stared at Ye Chu with unwavering intensity.
This sentence made the many members of the Kuangfeng Group roar with excitement. Their gazes at Zhong Wei grew burning with desire. To have carnal relations with the renowned Dance Goddess of the Red Dust Domain would be worth dying for.
The pairs of burning, lecherous eyes gave Zhong Wei goosebumps all over her body. A wave of nausea spread through her. She took a few steps back and hid behind Ye Chu. For the first time, Zhong Wei felt that the way Ye Chu looked at her was far cleaner than the gazes of these people.
“Do not try to scare me!” Ye Chu said, looking at Kuangfeng. “Setting aside whether you have the means to make me wish I were dead, are you truly not afraid of dying?”
With that, Ye Chu stomped down hard with his foot. A sound of bones shattering could be heard, and the cultivator who had been knocked unconscious by Ye Chu woke up screaming in agony.
“How dare you!” Kuangfeng roared, staring at Ye Chu. “If you dare touch them, I will kill you!”
Ye Chu took out a dagger and casually tossed it to Zhong Wei. “Do you not hate the way they look at you? Then gouge out the eyes of the people lying here, one pair at a time, to vent your anger.”
Zhong Wei caught the dagger and glanced at Kuangfeng. She actually bent her beautiful, slender legs, preparing to squat down and gouge out the cultivator’s eyes. The person Zhong Wei chose was none other than Kuangfeng’s own brother.
“You are courting death!” Kuangfeng roared. His figure shot out suddenly, reaching towards Zhong Wei.
But just as his hand was about to grab Zhong Wei, Ye Chu had somehow appeared beside him. Ye Chu thrust towards his hand, forcing him to pull back and retreat.
“You want to imitate me by capturing her to threaten me? I am sorry, but your speed is still a little lacking!”
Ye Chu’s quiet voice made Kuangfeng’s face turn livid. He stared at Ye Chu and said, “I will let you leave. You release them.”
“Of course!” Ye Chu said to the group. “Each of you, retreat three kilometres!”
“Retreat!” Kuangfeng shouted at his subordinates.
After watching Kuangfeng’s group retreat beyond three kilometres, Zhong Wei turned to Ye Chu and asked, “What do we do now?”
“Hold my hand tightly!” Ye Chu grabbed Zhong Wei’s soft, delicate little hand and held it firmly. At the same time, a burst of power shot out from his other hand, slamming into the five cultivators on the ground.
This burst of power struck down, and none of the five died, but the crisp sound of breaking bones could be heard.
“You insolent brat, how dare you!” Kuangfeng roared, shooting towards them at full speed.
Ye Chu held Zhong Wei’s hand and activated the Instant Wind Technique, rapidly flashing forward. His speed was extremely fast, and they shot into the distance.
Kuangfeng’s group rushed to where the five were lying. Seeing the five severely injured and vomiting blood continuously, his expression was extremely grim. He shouted at his subordinates behind him, “Take good care of them. Do not jostle them. Treat their injuries first!”
After saying this, Kuangfeng ignored the five on the ground and quickly chased after Ye Chu.
The other party’s actions made Ye Chu curse under his breath. He had originally thought that beating the five half to death would delay Kuangfeng, but he had not expected this fellow to abandon treating his brothers and come directly after him.
If Ye Chu were alone, shaking him off would be no problem. But with Zhong Wei in tow, it was difficult to escape Kuangfeng.
Kuangfeng clung stubbornly behind Ye Chu. Ye Chu could only grit his teeth and sprint all the way with Zhong Wei. He did not want to engage Kuangfeng here, as it would easily attract others.
By then, the news of Zhong Wei being here would spread, and the trouble would be enormous.
Ye Chu moved at a rapid pace, his speed extremely fast. Zhong Wei could only feel the wind whistling past her ears. Occasionally glancing back, she saw Kuangfeng stubbornly trailing behind, which made her grip Ye Chu’s hand even tighter.
“Ye Chu, he is about to catch up. Your speeds are comparable, but he is clearly far more familiar with the terrain here. I am afraid it will not be long before he catches you,” Zhong Wei said to Ye Chu.
Ye Chu naturally knew this as well, but at this point, every bit of distance mattered. It would be best to lead Kuangfeng to a remote place, so that when they fought, it would not attract too many people.
“How strong are you? Can you fight him?” Zhong Wei asked Ye Chu.
“Second level of the Emperor realm! What do you think?”
Zhong Wei was stunned for a moment. Having seen Ye Chu capture Emperor realm cultivators with a mere wave of his hand, she had assumed he was at least at the fourth level of the Emperor realm. She had not expected him to be only at the second level. The gap between the second and sixth levels was too vast. If it were her, crossing such a gap to challenge someone would not be difficult. But the person in front of her was Ye Chu!
“Where do you think you are running!” Kuangfeng finally caught up from a small path, blocking Ye Chu’s way. His eyes were full of cold light, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging.
