“Grandpa Tan Gui!”
Just as Ye Chu and Tan Miaotong were about to enter the Tan family and pass through the Tan clan gate, someone was outside to receive Tan Miaotong. An old man with white hair but hale and hearty stood outside the clan gate, smiling as he looked at Tan Miaotong, asking her with concern about her well-being.
“Miaotong has returned, it is good that you have returned!” Tan Gui chuckled, somewhat dotingly stroked Tan Miaotong’s head, and pulled Tan Miaotong to lead her into the clan gate.
Ye Chu was behind, preparing to follow in, but Tan Gui suddenly turned his head, his eyes carrying a sharp chill as he looked at Ye Chu. “Where did this brat come from, daring to set foot in my clan’s gate? Get lost quickly!”
Ye Chu had long known he would encounter trouble at the Tan family, but had not expected it to come so quickly. He sighed, ignored him, and prepared to step inside.
Tan Miaotong also had not expected Tan Gui to treat Ye Chu like this. Her originally joyful expression disappeared. She slowly retreated one step, standing together with Ye Chu, and looked at Tan Gui saying, “Grandpa Tan Gui, he is Ye Chu, a guest I invited back!”
“Miss! The hearts of people in this world are sinister. Your nature is simple, and you are most easily deceived and bewitched. Listen to this old man, do not associate with certain people.” Tan Gui sighed at Tan Miaotong, the corner of his mouth holding a few traces of a smile.
Tan Miaotong shook her head, said nothing more, and just stood beside Ye Chu, not entering the clan gate.
Tan Gui looked at this scene. His gaze instantly turned cold, staring straight at Ye Chu and saying, “My Tan family is a holy land, yet you abducted my clan’s holy maiden. Should you not give an explanation?”
“I do not know what explanation Senior requires from me?” Ye Chu said with a smile as he looked at the other party, “Additionally, please Senior put away that profound and mysterious word ‘abduct’. Whether in this life or the previous one, what I most hate and detest are human traffickers.”
“What great arrogance!” Tan Gui rebuked, “Do not think that because you are from Wu Xin Peak, you are so remarkable. Moreover, my Tan family is not something Bu Luo Mountain can compare to. Even if your master came, it would not be so easy to leave.”
Ye Chu shrugged his shoulders and said, “I have never looked down upon the Tan family, but I have also never feared the Tan family. Although the Tan family is strong, it is ultimately not stronger than the Heavenly Mansion. My Wu Xin Peak fears not even the Heavenly Mansion, so do not try to scare me with the Tan family’s name.”
“Good, good, good! The people of Wu Xin Peak are indeed arrogant. I just wonder if your skills are as strong as your mouth.” Tan Gui’s aura shook out, blocking before Ye Chu. “If you want to enter the Tan family, it is easy. Walk through here from me.”
“Grandpa Tan Gui!” Tan Miaotong was somewhat anxious and angry, her clear eyes staring straight at the other party.
“Since Senior requests it, this junior dares not disobey, and can only offend.” As Ye Chu spoke, his aura danced, streams of power shaking out, condensing around him. His aura also shook the clouds, having the loud sound of thunder, shaking the area.
At this moment Ye Chu held nothing back. Since he came to the Tan family, he would let them know his strength. If Tan Gui wanted to block him, he would fight his way through.
Tan Chen, seeing Ye Chu like this, felt his heart jump. He whispered in Ye Chu’s ear, “Do not be impulsive. Tan Gui has half a foot stepped into the Xuanhua Realm, and has researched the Tan family’s mystical arts extremely thoroughly. Moreover, he has stayed at the Ninth Layer Peak level for fifty years. The accumulated power is unimaginably profound. He is far from what an ordinary Ninth Layer Peak can compare to.”
Ye Chu smiled and stood before the other party. At the same time he said to Tan Miaotong, “It is fine. I will just spar with Senior. You just watch from the side.”
Tan Miaotong ultimately still nodded, and retreated to the side with Ye Jingyun. Only in her heart she was also somewhat worried. Tan Gui had immersed himself in the Tan family’s mystical arts for who knew how long. His power was also thick and profound to the extreme. His strength was terrifyingly extraordinary. Although Ye Chu had the strength of the Eighth Layer Xuangu Realm, after all he was several levels inferior to him. Having one foot step into the Xuanhua Realm represented that he had already transformed a portion, and was qualitatively different from Ye Chu.
“I offend!” Yet Ye Chu feared not the other party. His fist directly punched out. Knowing the other party was not simple, Ye Chu also held nothing back. His power erupted out at one hundred percent, thick and surging. One punch blasted out, and the sky directly cracked.
Tan Gui, seeing such a punch from Ye Chu, had a few traces of surprise in his eyes. At Ye Chu’s realm, erupting with such strength was absolutely startling.
But he feared it not, neither dodging nor avoiding, directly using his own power to meet it. There was no trickery, purely a clash of power.
“Boom…”
Following a thunderous loud noise, at the place where the two clashed, fierce energy swept out. The energy carried the sound of tearing through the air, having terrifying might.
Ye Chu’s figure leaped, retreating several steps, his arm numb, his heart shaking endlessly. He was very clear about his physical body’s strength. It was absolutely terrifying. Relying on his physical body, Ye Chu feared not even when encountering a Fifth Layer Sovereign. Yet wielding such power, it could still shake his physical body numb. This made Ye Chu’s heart startled.
The power of the old man before him was indeed profound, stronger than him by more than just one or two levels. He feared that at this realm, his power had already reached the peak.
Tan Gui looked at Ye Chu who was still standing safely in his original place, and also had a few traces of surprise in his heart. This punch of his was meant to give Ye Chu a show of strength, ideally beating Ye Chu until he could not stand up. He had not expected that the other party would actually stand there steadily.
He was very clear about his own power. Even if a Ninth Layer Peak expert encountered him, they would be shaken until blood seeped out. Yet Ye Chu stood there safe and sound. It was truly hard to imagine that such thick and profound power could erupt from this frail youth’s body.
“The disciples of Wu Xin Peak, truly all are extraordinary!” Tan Gui also had to admit that old madman of Wu Xin Peak could indeed cultivate people.
“No wonder you have the confidence to dare come to my Tan family. Only, this bit of strength is still not enough.” Tan Gui finally took the initiative to attack. His speed was extremely fast. As his figure danced, in the next instant he landed before Ye Chu, one fist directly blasting toward Ye Chu’s vital chest.
With his power, if it struck the chest, it would absolutely be extremely dangerous. Ye Chu’s figure rapidly retreated, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. The other party’s fist missed, striking upon the void. The void immediately appeared with a cracked black hole.
“Yi…” Ye Chu’s speed made Tan Gui’s eyes brighten. His speed was a clan mystical art, cultivated to the extreme. Few people could surpass him. He had not expected Ye Chu to actually be a level faster, launching later yet easily evading him.
“Good movement technique!” Tan Gui praised Ye Chu.
“You flatter me, Senior is also not bad!” Ye Chu evaded the other party’s strike again, smiling as he said.
Tan Gui said, “Relying on movement technique you are already in an invincible position. But if you want to enter, you must defeat me. If you keep fleeing like this, it is also useless.”
“What Senior says is true!” Ye Chu finally stopped his dancing figure, staring brightly at Tan Gui, and spoke a sentence that made Tan Gui jump with rage, “Since it is so, then I will thoroughly defeat Senior, and let Senior automatically make way.”
