Wang De watched Ye Chu return to his seat and could not help but cautiously remind him, “It is the tradition of the Sha Ling Pavilion. They will not give up until they have beaten you into submission. From now on, just wait for their fierce retaliation.”
Ye Chu smiled at Wang De, his gaze shifting towards Liu Huo and the others.
“Junior Brother Ye Chu has impressive strength. Let me experience Junior Brother Ye Chu’s supreme skills,” Liu Huo stepped forward, taking out ten catties of purple gold liquid and placing it to one side, looking at Ye Chu with a smile.
The fellow disciples did not expect Liu Huo to step forward so quickly, and Wang De frowned even more, wondering if Liu Huo was being somewhat too hasty this time.
But only Liu Huo was clear that the young man in front of him possessed extraordinary strength. Other cultivators facing Ye Chu would not necessarily be guaranteed victory. Only he himself could ensure absolute success.
He was just a newcomer. They needed to teach him a lesson as soon as possible and make him respect them, the seniors.
Ye Chu looked at Liu Huo. This time, he did not make the first move. Instead, he looked at Liu Huo and smiled, “Senior Brother Liu Huo wants to fight me. I will naturally accept. However, does Senior Brother Liu Huo want to fight here, or shall we go outside?”
Having said that, Ye Chu looked around the building. Although it had been reinforced, if the two of them truly fought, they could still tear it down.
“Let us go.” Liu Huo took the lead and walked out, followed by a group of disciples. Ye Chu watched this group walk out before following at a steady pace.
Wang De walked side by side with Ye Chu and said to him, “Liu Huo is extremely strong. In particular, his Liu Huo Sha Ling Technique is incredibly powerful, and among the Blue Jade generation disciples, very few are his match. You had better be careful when fighting him. He strikes ruthlessly, and quite a few disciples have been ruined by him.”
Wang De did not want Ye Chu to suffer at the hands of Liu Huo. He himself had been bullied by the seniors back in his day. This made him wish he could get his revenge, though of course, getting revenge was impossible now. But he also did not want Ye Chu to be beaten too brutally.
Ye Chu smiled at Wang De and said nothing more, following Liu Huo and the group to an open space on a mountain. “This place is perfect for a fight. I just wonder how many moves Junior Brother Ye Chu can withstand.”
“We will know once we try. I might even defeat Senior Brother Liu Huo.” Ye Chu looked at Liu Huo with a beaming smile.
“Now that is courage.” Liu Huo laughed loudly. “Let us see how you can defeat me then.”
As Liu Huo spoke, his aura surged out, sweeping towards Ye Chu. His primal spirit trembled and gathered around him. The heavenly and earthly energy was drawn in, continuously flowing towards Liu Huo, and his aura suddenly skyrocketed.
Ye Chu felt Liu Huo’s strength increasing, and his expression grew solemn. He also surged his own power into his arms, blending his sword intent into it.
Liu Huo could not be compared to Huang Long. His violent forces intertwined, and he launched a probing strike towards Ye Chu. Ye Chu punched directly at it. The two forces collided, bursting out with a terrifying roar. The roar carried a terrifying hurricane that swept towards the earth, uprooting several large trees from the ground.
With just such a simple exchange, several large trees were completely shattered. This made many cultivators change their expressions, shocked by the strength of the two men.
“Not bad. Your power is profound. It is not a waste of my effort to make a move.” Liu Huo looked at Ye Chu with a smile, a hint of amusement at the corners of his mouth.
Ye Chu shrugged. Although he had some reservations about Liu Huo, he was not overly afraid. Who was Ye Chu? He had fought emperors on his journey. How could he fear Liu Huo, a mid tier king? Even though Liu Huo was a Sha Ling practitioner, Ye Chu still did not fear him.
Did they not want to teach him a lesson and intimidate him? Then he would just have a good fight with him. Ye Chu actually wanted to see who could truly intimidate him.
Liu Huo naturally did not know what Ye Chu was thinking. The power within his body rolled out, gathering in front of him to condense into a massive fireball. His primal spirit seeped into it, controlled by the Sha Ling technique. Liu Huo just stood quietly in place, but the fireball kept spinning. With every rotation, the fireball became even more terrifying.
Watching this scene, Ye Chu naturally knew what realm this was. Liu Huo could completely use his primal spirit to control his power. This was the realm of controlling power with spirit among Sha Ling practitioners. Reaching this realm might not change his cultivation level much, but his combat power would double.
For no other reason, it was because the primal spirit had a more thorough control over the power. Because of this, Sha Ling practitioners could better utilise the power they possessed.
The fireball spun, carrying an impact force, tearing through the void and leaving a trail of fire. The fire trail oscillated, and the surrounding temperature skyrocketed. The fireball was not large, but as it shot towards Ye Chu, it emitted a terrifying sound of tearing through the air.
“Senior Brother Liu Huo using such a useless fireball to deal with me is underestimating me a bit too much, is it not?” Ye Chu laughed. Seeing the fireball about to hit him, Ye Chu’s figure flashed and disappeared from the fireball’s attack range. The fireball missed, dissipating instantly without smashing into the ground.
“Such fast speed.” Liu Huo watched Ye Chu dodge the fireball in a flash, feeling extremely astonished in his heart. The speed was too fast. He clearly saw the fireball was about to hit him, yet it was still dodged.
Liu Huo tapped his fingers, and several streams of flame seeped out. As the flames burst forth, they carried a violent power that eroded vitality. Under the infusion of this power, the few small fireballs around him had their flames jumping even more fiercely.
“Try this again.”
Having said that, Liu Huo sent three fireballs to surround Ye Chu from three sides, shooting towards his temples, crotch, and chest. They were all attacking Ye Chu’s vital points. The speed was swift and the power was surging, causing many people to perk up and stare at Ye Chu one by one.
“If you have the ability, dodge this strike.” Liu Huo looked at Ye Chu with a smile.
“Then I will fulfil Senior Brother Liu Huo’s wish.” Ye Chu suddenly laughed. He stepped forward, moving like a gust of wind, and instantly disappeared from the encirclement of the three fireballs. The three fireballs collided with each other, and terrifying force instantly burst out. As the force swept through, the surrounding large trees were uprooted once again, and a thick layer of mud and sand was ripped from the ground.
But no one was in the mood to pay attention to this scene. Everyone widened their eyes, looking at Ye Chu standing in midair, feeling a chill in their hearts. “He actually escaped in the blink of an eye. Good heavens, what kind of speed is that?”
Liu Huo also had a look of disbelief. Even the disciple most skilled in speed among the Blue Jade generation would probably not be able to match the speed Ye Chu had just used to dodge.
“What kind of movement technique is this?” The crowd looked at Ye Chu in confusion, but they could not guess it no matter what. When Ye Chu had just used it, there were no ripples, as calm and leisurely as a stroll in a courtyard. Yet with such steps, he casually dodged Liu Huo’s attack.
“Junior Brother Ye Chu has excellent movement techniques.” Liu Huo looked at Ye Chu and smiled. “However, your movement is good, but I wonder how your hand to hand combat skills are?”
As Liu Huo spoke, his body suddenly shot forward. His entire person was like an arrow released from a bow, containing terrifying power, shooting straight towards Ye Chu’s throat with extreme swiftness.
