“Then I will be waiting for you!” Ye Chu felt the green lotus gradually losing control, and answered the Cold Fire Emperor with a calm mind.
“Let us see how long you can remain arrogant!” The Cold Fire Emperor snorted coldly, and terrifying primordial spirit power once again eroded into Ye Chu’s body.
Ye Chu ignored him, took out the Evil Spirit Arts he had obtained from the Evil Martial Pavilion, and began to cultivate.
Within three months, Ye Chu had laid an extremely profound foundation. At this moment, looking at these sets of Evil Spirit Arts, there was nothing he did not understand, and his cultivation appeared relaxed.
Less than a week after returning from the Evil Martial Pavilion, while Ye Chu was gazing at the starry sky, an uninvited guest arrived outside his cave abode. A man in a red robe stood beside him, looking down at Ye Chu. “You are Ye Chu!”
Ye Chu frowned, not knowing who this person was. However, just one glance told him this guy was not simple. His aura was concealed with great subtlety, clearly showing that his mastery over power had reached a highly proficient level.
“Indeed!” Although Ye Chu knew the other party was strong, he was not afraid of him. He nodded and said, “I wonder who you are? However, I need to rest now, please leave!”
“Truly as arrogant as the rumours say, but I am Hong Tianbao.” The man stared at Ye Chu, his tone carrying an unparalleled sense of superiority.
“I do not know you!” Ye Chu replied. This sentence was heard by Wang De, who was nearby, and he almost tripped and fell to the ground.
He had not expected that a Purple Jade generation disciple would seek out Ye Chu, and even more unexpectedly, Ye Chu actually blurted out that he did not know him. Did Ye Chu know what the Purple Jade generation represented?
Wang De stared blankly in this direction, his heart filled with shock. Looking at Hong Tianbao, he was also full of admiration. The Purple Jade generation, this was his dream.
Hong Tianbao had not expected Ye Chu to answer like this. He paused for a moment, but then burst into loud laughter. After laughing a few times, the laughter stopped abruptly, and his gaze suddenly turned to Ye Chu, his eyes full of a chilling coldness.
“It is fine for a person to be arrogant, but they must recognise their own limits,” Hong Tianbao said, staring at Ye Chu. “Since you do not know me, let us get acquainted. This young master is of the Purple Jade generation, with the nickname Red Leopard!”
“I know now!” Ye Chu nodded. “Can you leave now?”
Ye Chu’s words made Hong Tianbao’s eyes even colder. He stared straight at Ye Chu without saying a word, but his terrifying gaze emitted infinite pressure. The pressure rolled towards Ye Chu, and the surrounding air hissed under the coercion.
Ye Chu frowned slightly under this pressure, unable to help but take a step back. He then looked at Hong Tianbao and said, “Senior brother, you did not come all this way just to cause trouble for me, did you?”
Seeing this scene, Wang De also found it strange. Soon he thought of Liu Huo, and wondered if the Purple Jade generation disciple behind Liu Huo was not Hong Tianbao. Thinking of this, Wang De looked at Ye Chu with sympathy.
“Causing trouble for you is not the point. However, as a newcomer, you must have the basic respect for us. Right now, if you kneel at the foot of the mountain for three days to apologise, then everything will be treated as if it never happened. After three days, you will be the number one person in the Blue Jade generation, commanding the Blue Jade generation disciples,” Hong Tianbao asked Ye Chu. “How about it?”
“Apologies! Perhaps someone can make me kneel, but it will absolutely not be you,” Ye Chu said, smiling at Hong Tianbao.
This defiant sentence from Ye Chu made Wang De’s back run cold. Did Ye Chu not know the strength and power of the Purple Jade generation? Offending the Purple Jade generation meant there would be no good days in the Evil Spirit Pavilion, even if Ye Chu’s strength could defeat Qing Ting.
Every Purple Jade generation disciple was a monstrous existence with astonishing power, capable of even commanding the elders of the Evil Spirit Pavilion. If Ye Chu were also a Purple Jade generation disciple, it would be one thing, but Ye Chu was only a Blue Jade generation disciple. This was a lack of respect for hierarchy, which was a major crime in the Evil Spirit Pavilion.
…
Unlike Wang De’s worries, the three people hidden elsewhere, including Zhang Zheng, exchanged glances. Zhang Wei smiled first. “This young lad has some courage, daring to speak to Hong Tianbao like this. However, given Hong Tianbao’s nature, he is probably not going to have a good outcome.”
“He is indeed arrogant, but having defeated Qing Ting gives him the right to be arrogant. However, he chose the wrong target this time. He does not know how much stronger Hong Tianbao is compared to Qing Ting,” Zhang Zheng smiled. “What does Junior Sister Xiang Ting think?”
Xiang Ting stood there, her legs pressed together, slender and flawless, incredibly beautiful. Her bright eyes fell upon Ye Chu, and her alluring red lips parted slightly. “To dare to speak like this, perhaps he has some confidence. Let us watch. It is rare to find an interesting character, and it is a good thing if he can keep us entertained for a while. I actually hope he can defeat Hong Tianbao. That would make for a good show!”
Zhang Zheng paused, then thought of Xiang Ting’s nature of fearing that the world was not chaotic enough, and he shook his head with a smile. He thought that if Hong Tianbao really lost, there would indeed be a good show, and the Purple Jade generation would go crazy over it.
“Defeating Hong Tianbao is impossible. However, this kid’s arrogance is quite substantial. It seems he really needs to be taught a lesson, to make him restrain himself and know his duties as a newcomer,” Zhang Zheng smiled, his gaze turning to Hong Tianbao.
At this moment, Hong Tianbao’s momentum was continuously increasing. Each increase caused the void to hiss, and the surrounding air was compressed into a solid state. Ye Chu found it difficult to breathe.
“How about it? Are you still going to be stubborn?” Hong Tianbao looked at Ye Chu with a smile.
“I am just about to experience your excellent skills!” As Ye Chu spoke, his full power erupted. His sword intent pierced through, his arm swung, and streams of power sprayed from his pores, transforming into a long sword. Like a blade piercing the sun and moon, it carried a terrifying artistic conception, breaking through the air and shooting towards Hong Tianbao.
Hong Tianbao looked at the sword light shooting towards him from Ye Chu, a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. His finger suddenly pointed out, flicking directly onto the sword light. The sword light shattered instantly, and a burst of power shot out from his finger, firing towards Ye Chu.
As this burst of power shot towards him, Ye Chu used the Instant Wind Technique to dodge, but he was still hit. Ye Chu’s entire body was sent flying, crashing into a large tree. The tree was instantly smashed into two pieces and collapsed with a loud crash.
“You are too weak!” Hong Tianbao looked at Ye Chu, who was struggling to get up, with a hint of disdain. “You can defeat Qing Ting, but among Purple Jade generation disciples, you are still easily defeated.”
Ye Chu stared at the other party, calming the surging blood and qi in his body. The person before him possessed the strength of a high-grade king, and his power was too terrifying. Such power was indeed not something Qing Ting could compare to.
However, did he think he could humiliate Ye Chu at will just because of this?
“Admit defeat. Kneeling for three days will not cause you any loss!” Hong Tianbao said lightly.
Ye Chu laughed, a laugh that made Hong Tianbao feel eerie. “Perhaps, it is you who will be kneeling. This young master might also be much stronger than you imagine.”
Ye Chu’s words made the other party pause slightly, looking at Ye Chu strangely. However, he saw Ye Chu sitting cross-legged there, and his entire aura began to erupt. As Ye Chu’s aura erupted, Hong Tianbao’s expression turned puzzled, but soon it changed drastically.
Xiang Ting and the others were also shocked, suddenly shooting towards Ye Chu’s side at high speed.
