“Still want to fight?” Ye Chu looked at Wu Jing’s stunned expression and asked him with a smile. But when his gaze fell upon the manifested heaven and earth phenomenon, he couldn’t help sighing. If the green lotus hadn’t been isolated, how could there be only such power?
“I shall experience your superior technique!” Wu Jing became excited after his stupor. For the first time, he was truly facing a prodigy head on. Having never fought a prodigy before, his eyes were full of fiery passion.
Fighting a prodigy, ah. Such opportunities were hard to find. Besides, so what if he was a prodigy? His master had told him that talent was only one part. Although extremely important, what truly mattered was one’s own cultivation. It was just that under equal effort and equal cultivation, a prodigy was generally slightly stronger.
Wu Jing believed his own cultivation was arduous, more diligent than other cultivators. Even if the opponent was a prodigy, if he relied on talent and slacked off in cultivation, he similarly wouldn’t be Wu Jing’s match.
“If you want to try, I’ll let you try!” Ye Chu looked at the other party and said, “I’ll use just one move. If you can receive this one move, I’ll admit defeat.”
Ye Chu’s arrogant words caused an uproar among the crowd. No one had expected Ye Chu to utter such bold words. Even if he was a prodigy, the one before him was still a powerful existence with holy beast talent. Wanting to finish off the opponent in one move was rather too confident.
Even if Wu Jing had a good temper, being looked down upon like this, he couldn’t suppress the fury in his heart. Power that erupted from his body surged out. A three tailed fire leopard charged out, carrying vast power. Amid the vibrations, space twisted. Its three tails rose up, truly transforming into rockets that shot directly at Ye Chu. The sound of tearing through the air was unceasing. The rockets that charged in were overwhelmingly powerful. Mo Lie saw this with terrified mind and spirit. Such attacks, he feared he couldn’t withstand even three moves.
“Flourishing like brocade! Go!”
Ye Chu didn’t use Sword Slaughter. He moved his arm, and upon the nine stars, splendor bloomed. The originally silent and merely gorgeous concept pattern suddenly transformed at this moment. The entire void turned into sword light bristling with sword intent, as if the whole heaven and earth were sword intent. The falling petals were all sharp sword blades.
Petals flew down by the thousands, twisting toward Wu Jing. Heaven and earth patterns flickered unceasingly.
“Possessing true meaning, he has walked out his own path!”
Wu Jing felt that today’s shocks were the most numerous. This youth had actually walked out his own path. The flying petals carried patterns, and in the clash with his power, effortlessly shredded his attacks.
Those heaven covering petals were too terrifying. So terrifying that everyone shivered. Despite Wu Jing’s power, under the flying petals that covered the heavens, his concept pattern was directly shredded. In less than ten breaths’ time, Wu Jing retreated in terror.
But Ye Chu said he would defeat him in one move, and truly defeated him in one move. The sky filling petals danced, transforming into a sword that landed at Wu Jing’s throat.
“If you had walked out your own path, you could still exchange moves with me for a while. However, at this moment, you are still far from it.” Ye Chu looked at Wu Jing and said lightly. The sky filling petals also vanished. Ye Chu once again returned to his previously calm and carefree appearance, standing there with hands behind his back. Yet at this moment, not a single person dared to look down on him.
“Heavens! Even Wu Jing couldn’t receive one move from him! Just how monstrous is he?”
The crowd stared blankly at Ye Chu, only feeling that today’s shocks were the most they had experienced in their lives.
Wu Jing stood there somewhat dejectedly. Just as Ye Chu had said, he hadn’t walked out his own path. He couldn’t possibly be Ye Chu’s match. But losing without even receiving one move, this blow to him was too great.
At this moment, Du Liang was at Mo Lie’s side. Looking at Ye Chu walking toward them, his entire being was in a daze.
“His rescue back then, truly saved a monster!”
Du Liang suddenly thought of the matter of his recent cultivation rising greatly. He wondered, could it be that his beautiful dream had truly come true? Had he changed his own fate, allowing himself to also become a peerless expert?
Looking at Du Liang’s drooling appearance, Ye Chu turned his head and pretended not to know him. This fellow was too embarrassing. Normally having delusions was one thing. But having delusions in front of so many people, this was too lacking in moral integrity.
Ye Chu looked at Mo Lie wanting to say something. Ye Chu reached out his hand to stop him and said, “I know what you want to ask. You take me to see your father, and I will naturally tell you why!”
Although Mo Lie had a belly full of questions in his heart, hearing Ye Chu say this, he forcibly endured it. He said to the group of disciples beside him, “Take good care of Senior Brother Wu Jing and the others!”
Wu Jing looked at Ye Chu, then waved his hand and said, “This time we invited humiliation upon ourselves. I hadn’t expected your pavilion to actually have such a powerful expert overseeing it. We shall take our leave today!”
“Senior Brother Wu Jing is too polite!” Mo Lie hurriedly said, “It was merely a spar. There are victories and defeats!”
Wu Jing turned his head to look at Ye Chu. He cupped his hands toward Ye Chu and said, “Senior Brother Du, another day I shall certainly seek your instruction again.”
Ye Chu swept his gaze over Wu Jing and said, “You have walked out your own path. If without breaking through, your strength can still increase several fold, perhaps you can fight me. If you can’t do these things, don’t come looking for me in the future.”
Wu Jing, seeing Ye Chu speak thus, was even more shocked in his heart. Having walked out his own path, his strength actually had to increase several fold before he could fight him. Just how strong was he? Didn’t that mean that even if four or five kings joined hands to attack him, they couldn’t do anything to him? Was he really this strong?
Wu Jing didn’t know if what Ye Chu said was true or false. He cupped his hands and said, “Until we meet again!”
After speaking, without further regard for Wu Jing and the others, he brought his two companions and strode away. This scene made the disciples of this peak cry out in surprise, each one extremely excited. Even the disciples of Wu Pavilion returned with clipped wings. Who would still dare to casually look for trouble with the branch pavilion in the future? Their branch pavilion’s status could also rise somewhat, and the resources allocated from the pavilion core would also be more.
Mo Qi watched the object of her admiration leave in such a sorry state. She stood frozen in place. Looking at Ye Chu standing together with her elder brother, she shook her head forcefully, then couldn’t help patting her face.
Mo Qi felt her face burning terribly. Thinking of what she had said back then in the peach forest, she couldn’t help wanting to dig a hole and crawl into it.
The other party was a prodigy, overwhelmingly powerful. Yet she had mocked and ridiculed him, even saying that if someone had the might of a holy beast and the bearing of a king, they could pursue her.
“So embarrassing!” Mo Qi bit her shell like teeth, looking at Ye Chu with an extremely flushed face. She didn’t even know how this fellow had laughed at her behind her back back then.
Mo Qi’s alluring appearance made Yang Shan and the others dizzy with fascination. But they also couldn’t help thinking of Mo Qi’s words back then. The way they looked at Mo Qi was also somewhat unusual.
“What are you looking at? Believe it or not, this young lady will gouge out all your eyes. Also, whoever dares to speak of that day’s matter, I’ll pull out his tongue!” Mo Qi glared at Yang Shan and the others with anger.
Yang Shan’s group hurriedly averted their gazes, watching Ye Chu and Mo Lie leave together.
Mo Qi thought for a moment, then still gritted her teeth and chased after Ye Chu and Mo Lie’s direction.
