Blood seeped from the meat patty, continuously permeating the gaps in the bluestone. The blood flowed through the crevices, emitting a faint hissing sound. This small sound stimulated everyone’s eardrums. Every person looked at Ye Chu with chills covering their entire bodies, the shock in their hearts beyond words.
This was a King, yet with a casual palm strike, he had been crushed into a meat patty. This was too terrifying. Just how strong was he?
Ye Tian knew Ye Chu was powerful. He had witnessed Ye Chu kill a King with one strike. But even that was not as shocking as what he saw now. He stared blankly at Ye Chu, only now understanding just how dominant and overbearing Ye Chu truly was.
Ye Tian could not help but glance at the other two Kings. Wang Xinhuo and Wang Xinshui had pale faces, especially Wang Xinhuo. His strength differed little from the King who had just been killed. At this moment, he was ashen-faced, his body trembling.
He could not help but feel relieved. If he had stepped forward just now, he would be the one dead.
Wang Xinshui, as a top-grade King, also had eyes full of terror. Even he did not possess such terrifying power in a single palm strike.
Wang Xinshui took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart, and stared straight at Ye Chu, saying, “Just who are you, sir?”
Ye Chu ignored him. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ye Tian, who had walked to his side, and asked, “Have all the people been rescued?”
“They have all been rescued!” Ye Tian calmed his emotions and nodded, saying, “There were no Kings. The other cultivators in the palace were no match for me.”
Ye Chu smiled and said, “There will soon be no Kings at all!”
He said this lightly and calmly, but no one doubted his words anymore. The people of Yao City looked at Ye Chu with fervent gazes. At this moment, they forgot about Ye Chu’s notorious reputation, they forgot about his crimes. Now, in their eyes, there was only a terrifying powerhouse, a powerhouse like a god.
Everyone looked at Ye Chu with reverence and worship, full of excitement.
“You are indeed powerful, sir, but perhaps you do not know that we came here under the orders of Lord Bamboo Emperor. By killing two Kings under Lord Bamboo Emperor’s command, you are making an enemy of Lord Bamboo Emperor.” Wang Xinshui stared at Ye Chu and shouted.
This statement startled Ye Tian. He had not expected that these people had a Sovereign standing behind them. He looked at Ye Chu, his eyes also full of worry.
“Do not try to scare this young master with a Sovereign. A Sovereign who popped up from who knows where thinks he can scare me? You overestimate him.” Ye Chu was disdainful. He had seen countless powerful experts. How could a mere Sovereign frighten him? “However, this young master hates threats the most!”
As Ye Chu spoke, another palm strike covered downward, directly crushing toward where Wang Xinhuo stood. The palm was like Mount Tai pressing down from above, with patterns flashing, carrying terrifying might and power, crushing down directly.
Wang Xinhuo was terrified. His figure flickered, wanting to dodge, but Ye Chu’s palm was too fast, so fast that he had no chance to evade. The palm struck down directly. He followed in the footsteps of the previous King, crushed into a meat patty on the spot, blood staining the earth red like a blooming flower.
“Hiss…”
Even having witnessed this scene before, seeing it again made them break out in cold sweat. The surroundings fell deathly silent.
Wang Xinshui also widened his eyes. He had not expected that after he revealed the Sovereign standing behind them, Ye Chu would still dare to act this way. Looking at the crushed King, Wang Xinshui stared at Ye Chu with lingering fear, his heart unable to calm down. Did the other party dare to do this because he had the strength to oppose a Sovereign, or because he had a backing and feared no Sovereign?
“Speak. What are you looking for this time?” Ye Chu said to Wang Xinshui. Ye Chu was very curious what thing could be worth a Sovereign coming to seize.
Wang Xinshui stared at Ye Chu, snorted, naturally unwilling to tell him. His figure flickered, shooting toward the distance.
Since he was no match for Ye Chu, he could only flee. He thought that with his strength as a top-grade King, wanting to escape should not be too big a problem.
But after leaping through the air for not far, Ye Chu’s figure leaped, bringing out a trail of afterimages as he shot up, blocking in front of him. “This young master did not let you leave, so you cannot leave!”
Ye Chu was disdainful. He was just an ordinary top-grade King. His Qi Sea was not vast. How could such a person stir up any waves in his hands?
When Wang Xinshui saw Ye Chu blocking in front of him, his heart also jumped in fright. He had not expected Ye Chu’s speed to be so fast.
“Get out of my way!” Wang Xinshui roared furiously, his power shaking, his force surging out like tidal waves. The surging force transformed into waves, the vast shaking distorting space. “I don’t believe you are really that strong!”
Such terrifying power was enough to move mountains and overturn seas. The numerous cultivators of Yao City were horrified, trembling and prostrating on the ground. Under this might, they simply could not resist, their entire beings suppressed to the point where even breathing was difficult.
At the same time, looking at Ye Chu standing before Wang Xinshui, they all felt some worry. This power was too terrifying. Could he block it?
Amidst everyone’s worry, Ye Chu calmly raised his hand, sending a palm straight forward to meet it. There was no terrifying might, no overbearing force, just a palm strike out like this.
The palm clashed with the other party’s surging force, two completely asymmetrical powers colliding. But the result stunned everyone. With one palm, Ye Chu directly shattered the other party’s surging force, and Wang Xinshui was directly shaken back several steps.
“Utterly worthless!” Ye Chu evaluated disdainfully. Looking at Wang Xinshui, he said, “If you tell this young master what you want now, I can still let you leave. Otherwise, I am afraid you will find it difficult to leave here alive!”
“Hmph! This King is not someone you can keep?” Although Wang Xinshui was horrified by Ye Chu’s strength, in his fury, he also erupted with terrifying power. The force swept up surging power, erupting with rumbling thunderous sounds. With every eruption, the sound shook the entire Yao City.
Every person in Yao City had a pale face, placing all their hope on Ye Chu, hoping Ye Chu could block this person.
Ye Tian clenched his fists tightly, staring straight at Ye Chu. Seeing that Ye Chu still had a calm expression, Ye Tian also felt somewhat reassured.
“Useless. You have not even managed to condense your true intent, yet you think you can oppose me?” Ye Chu smiled. Among those of the same rank, aside from prodigies who posed a threat to him, who else could be his opponent?
Moreover, the other party was also a level weaker than him. This power might be terrifying to others, but to Ye Chu, it was too weak.
Ye Chu still sent out one palm, instantly shattering the other party’s attack.
“Done?” Ye Chu stared at the other party and smiled. “If you are done, is it my turn to attack now?”
Wang Xinshui looked at Ye Chu in terror. His full-power strike could be blocked by Ye Chu so effortlessly. Just how strong was Ye Chu’s strength? Had he reached the peak of the Xuanyuan Realm?
“Damn it!” Wang Xinshui cursed, sending out one strike, wanting to shake Ye Chu back and flee. He had no heart to fight anymore.
