Contrary to Ye Chu’s expectations, Miemeng Niao and the others did not quickly rush over to surround and kill them.
“Could they have given up?” Ye Chu looked at Zhong Wei beside him.
Zhong Wei shook her head and said, “According to his character, he would never give up on something he has set his eyes on. His war generals are naturally the same.”
“But so many days have passed and we have not seen Miemeng Niao bring people here. Had we known this earlier, we should have also left on the Seven-Coloured Treasure Ship,” Ye Chu said to Zhong Wei.
“He has not come, perhaps because he does not have strong experts by his side. But sooner or later he will cause us trouble,” Zhong Wei said to Ye Chu. “You are waiting here for them. Do you really have confidence?”
Ye Chu touched his chest where Bai Qingqing was sleeping, wholeheartedly devouring Chaos Azure Qi, and nodded, saying, “Dealing with them once or twice is still not a problem.”
Although Zhong Wei did not know where Ye Chu’s confidence came from, seeing Ye Chu speak this way, her heart also calmed down. Along this journey, although Ye Chu appeared impulsive every time, as if each time was a certain death situation, up until now they were both living well.
Zhong Wei believed in this man. Although he occasionally acted shamelessly and spoke shameless words, at least by his side she felt at ease.
“You certainly have guts, daring to wait here for us.” Just as Ye Chu and Zhong Wei were speaking, a resounding voice reached Ye Chu’s ears. When this voice came out, Ye Chu’s pupils suddenly contracted.
“Have they finally come?” Ye Chu’s gaze looked into the distance, seeing several cultivators leap out from over there, surrounding Ye Chu and Zhong Wei in the centre.
Seeing the familiar Miemeng Niao appear before him, Ye Chu smiled and said to the other party, “You have truly come slowly. I have been waiting for you for a long time.”
Miemeng Niao swept a glance at Ye Chu, then his gaze fell on Zhong Wei. He bowed to Zhong Wei and said, “Greetings, Miss. Last time I did not know the Miss was the Master’s wife. I have offended you greatly, and hereby apologise to the Miss.”
Zhong Wei knew her identity could not be concealed. Looking at Miemeng Niao she said, “Since you know you are wrong, why do you not take your people and leave.”
“The Miss is pure and spotless, and you and the Master are a perfect match. Why are you walking together with such a person? This will ruin the Miss’s reputation and also bring shame upon the Master.” Miemeng Niao was not afraid because of Zhong Wei’s identity. Instead he glared at Zhong Wei, his eyes full of sharpness.
“How I conduct myself is none of your concern,” Zhong Wei stared at Miemeng Niao and snorted. “Go back and tell him, I will not be the golden canary he keeps.”
“It would be better if the Miss told this to the Master personally. This time we have come under the Master’s orders, to have the Miss return with us.” Miemeng Niao looked at Zhong Wei, then shouted to the cultivators beside him, “Bring the Miss back.”
“Yes, Sir.” As the few people spoke, they leapt toward Zhong Wei.
Seeing this, Ye Chu blocked in front of Zhong Wei, smiling as he looked at Miemeng Niao and said, “Are you all not being a bit overbearing? She is unwilling to go with you, so why must you force her?”
“Just based on the fact that you have been so close to her these past days, you have already committed a capital crime. Who would not retreat three houses from the Master’s property?” Miemeng Niao stared at Ye Chu and said, “Originally I saw you as a talented person, preparing to recruit you to serve the Master. Now it seems such fortune will no longer fall upon you.”
Ye Chu smiled and said, “Then I truly must thank you.”
After speaking, Ye Chu sized up this group of people, then said with some disdain, “Do you think these people can keep me here? I thought that this time you would at least bring some decent strong experts. I did not expect it would still be the same people from last time. Last time they could not keep me, so can they this time?”
Miemeng Niao looked at Ye Chu and said, “I greatly admire your strength, but I am sorry, today you must die. No one dares to be so close to the Master’s woman.”
“You are truly sick.” Ye Chu glanced at the other party, then turned to look at the beautiful Zhong Wei. “If he says I cannot, then I will not? I insist on being like this with her.”
Seeing Ye Chu act this way, the coldness at the corner of Miemeng Niao’s mouth grew thicker. He shouted to the few people beside him, “Do not mind him, first capture the Miss and bring her back.”
“Yes.” Several high-grade Emperors nodded, leaping toward Zhong Wei to grab her.
Ye Chu’s killing intent danced, blocking in front of Zhong Wei. “Who dares.”
Killing intent surged, completely blocking the few people, preventing them from reaching Zhong Wei.
“Originally I planned to leave you an intact corpse, but since you are so ignorant of when to advance or retreat, then you shall die.” As Miemeng Niao spoke, a weapon appeared in his hand. The weapon erupted with brilliant light, flashing with extreme dazzling brightness.
“Sun-Moon Weapon?” Ye Chu stared at the weapon in the other party’s hand and said with a sneer, “Do you think one more weapon can do anything to me?”
“Last time the Master had not bestowed a weapon, allowing you to escape by luck. This time there will be no such good fortune. This is a grade eight Sun-Moon Weapon. In my hands it can increase my strength by thirty percent. Do you think you can still block me?” Miemeng Niao stared at Ye Chu. Last time they could fight to a draw, but this time there would be no such good luck.
Watching the other party’s Sun-Moon Weapon dance with brilliant light rippling down, the overwhelming power about to bury Ye Chu, Ye Chu suddenly laughed. “You have a weapon. Do you think I do not? Purple-Gold Azure Lotus, appear.”
As Ye Chu spoke, an azure lotus emerged in the palm of his hand. An azure lotus of several colours, purple, black and azure, shook out, charging straight toward the other party’s Sun-Moon Weapon.
Without the slightest finesse, Ye Chu’s azure lotus directly collided with the other party’s Sun-Moon Weapon.
“Crack…”
A crisp shattering sound rang out. As before, there was no suspense. The grade eight Sun-Moon Weapon that had just been incomparably powerful and domineering shattered just like that, turning into fragments scattered across heaven and earth.
The azure lotus landed in Ye Chu’s palm, emitting a heart-palpitating lustre, slowly merging into Ye Chu’s body.
“Is a grade eight Sun-Moon Weapon such trash?” Ye Chu looked at Miemeng Niao and sneered. “If that is the case, Sir, you had better go back to wherever you came from.”
Miemeng Niao’s heart also shook. He was very clear about the terror of a grade eight Sun-Moon Weapon. Yet such an artifact shattered like tofu upon touching the other party’s weapon. What was the other party’s weapon? A Heaven-Earth Weapon?
“Scram.” Ye Chu stared at Miemeng Niao and shouted, “With your scrap metal, you are not qualified to show off before me.”
Ye Chu was unafraid of them, preparing to leave with Zhong Wei, but several coughs suddenly exploded in this space. The vibration of the sound brought forth ripples, and between the sonic impacts, it gave people boundless pressure.
The coughs seemed to directly explode within the Primordial Spirit. Ye Chu’s Primordial Spirit shook accordingly. If not for the azure lotus suppressing it, it would probably have collapsed.
Just those few coughs brought Ye Chu immense pain. After Ye Chu stabilised his mind, he stared fixedly at the void.
“This person… is so strong.”
