“You must withstand ten of my moves, and then I will let you go!” Ye Chu smiled, bringing a palm down. His power surged outward, the vast energy transforming into a starry sky, incredibly brilliant. The sun’s radiance was blocked out, and such terrifying power shook downwards, making everyone’s heart skip a beat.
Wang Xinshui’s expression changed drastically. His figure leaped, and all the power in his body erupted without reservation. Rolling waves of water surged out, attempting to withstand the explosive power of Ye Chu.
The starry sky suppressed downwards, and the waves were crushed. The terrifying starry sky enveloped Wang Xinshui. He felt an immense oppressive force, a pressure that made it difficult for him to breathe, and he gritted his teeth tightly to resist. Yet, no matter how he drove his own power, he could not escape the oppression of this force.
The power Ye Chu unleashed was simply too terrifying, far stronger than his own by more than one or two times. The towering waves he unleashed were utterly powerless to stir up any ripples, completely unable to break through Ye Chu’s power.
“Get lost!” Wang Xinshui erupted with all sorts of power, enough to shake the heavens and the earth. However, when this power crashed against the force Ye Chu brought down, it was still powerless to break through, merely causing the void to erupt with bursts of explosions.
Ye Tian stared blankly at the brilliant starry sky unleashed by Ye Chu, his heart trembling. Such power was simply too terrifying, enough to overshadow the radiance of the sun and the moon. What kind of surging power did he actually possess?
Watching a dignified upper grade king struggle desperately under Ye Chu’s explosive power, Ye Tian took a deep breath, and his originally tense body relaxed. There was no suspense in this battle. Wang Xinshui was bound to lose, and he was absolutely no match for Ye Chu.
“Ah… ah…” Wang Xinshui continuously unleashed all sorts of power. Every strike shook the heavens and the earth, rolling straight towards Ye Chu. Yet, the starry sky Ye Chu unleashed suppressed downwards, annihilating all the power his opponent had erupted.
Watching this scene, people looked at Ye Chu with even more awe, waiting for the final result.
“Now it is my turn, is it not?” As Ye Chu spoke, various sword intents burst forth. The sword intent surged towards Wang Xinshui, sharp and cold, flying continuously and shooting directly at his opponent.
Ye Chu’s intent was too strong, so strong that his opponent could hardly resist. The sword intent shot out, gliding across his body and cutting out trails of bloody marks.
In a short time, Wang Xinshui’s body was covered in wounds, his blood staining his clothes red.
“Ah…” Wang Xinshui roared, and the power within him erupted once again. The towering power shook endlessly, continuously crashing towards the clouds, trying to break out of the cage of Ye Chu’s sword glare.
A smile played on Ye Chu’s lips. He flicked his fingers, and the Silent Sword shot out from his fingertips, aiming straight for his opponent’s knees. Severely injured, how could he possibly withstand Ye Chu’s Silent Sword? The sword glare pierced through his knee, and gushes of blood poured out from the bloody hole. Wang Xinshui’s legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, drawing the eyes of everyone present to him.
Without a doubt, in a very short time, Wang Xinshui was kneeling on the ground. He tried to struggle to his feet, but under the oppressive force of Ye Chu’s power, he could not struggle up at all. At the place where his knees knelt, blood flowed out in torrents.
“Now you can tell me, what exactly do you want?” Ye Chu stared at his opponent, a hint of a smile on the corners of his mouth.
Ye Chu’s smile was brilliant, a smile that the people of Yao City were very familiar with. In the past, after Ye Chu had caused trouble for someone, he would often show this exact same smile.
This made everyone unable to help but recall Ye Chu’s past deeds. Looking at Wang Xinshui, they were full of sympathy, thinking that it served him right to fall into Ye Chu’s hands.
Wang Xinshui stared dead at Ye Chu, his teeth clenched tightly, yet he did not say a single word.
Ye Chu stepped forward, placing his foot on his opponent’s fingers, and ruthlessly ground his heel around a few times, his smile remaining unchanged. “If you knew my reputation in Yao City, you should not be so stubborn. I, this young master, like people with backbone, because they are more fun to play with for a longer time.”
As he spoke, Ye Chu flicked his fingers, and a streak of sword glare shot out, piercing directly through his opponent’s shoulder. The sword glare burst out from the other side, stained with blood. Wang Xinshui let out a miserable scream, his eyes filled with intense hatred, staring dead at Ye Chu as if he wanted to swallow him alive.
“Do not look at me with such eyes. You should understand that such a look does not have much killing power against me,” Ye Chu said with a smile. “Speak, what did you come here to find?”
“His Royal Highness Bamboo Emperor will not let you go,” Wang Xinshui roared, a sinister roar, his face hideous.
Ye Chu casually flicked his finger, opening another cut on his body. “Do not try to scare me with him. A royal is powerful, but not enough to make me tremble at the mere mention of his name. You had better be sensible, otherwise I do not mind slowly grinding away your backbone.”
Wang Xinshui gritted his teeth, not revealing the slightest bit of information. This caused Ye Chu to occasionally open another cut on his opponent’s body, the sword glare bursting forth and making him scream continuously.
“Just kill me! Kill me if you have the ability!” Wang Xinshui roared, struggling and trying to pounce on Ye Chu.
“Death is sometimes a very extravagant request. When I, this young master, have had enough fun, I will naturally let you die. But for now, you will live slowly.” Ye Chu looked at Wang Xinshui with a beaming smile. A knife appeared in his hand at some unknown point, which Ye Chu used to carve a turtle onto his body.
This scene made many people look at each other in dismay, especially Ye Tian, who could not help but shake his head. He thought to himself how many years had passed, and Ye Chu still had not changed in this regard.
Watching Wang Xinshui being tortured to the point of being less than human, everyone could not bear it and turned their heads away. Their original admiration and awe for Ye Chu vanished, and the image of Ye Chu as a perpetrator of all kinds of evil reappeared in their minds.
“Really not going to speak?” Seeing his opponent gritting his teeth and resisting stubbornly, Ye Chu suddenly smiled. The moment this smile appeared, it sent a shiver down the spines of many people.
“In that case, I will just let you die!” Ye Chu had no interest in playing with him anymore. He pressed his palm onto Wang Xinshui’s body, and the Soul Devouring and Origin Transforming Method erupted.
Wang Xinshui was utterly terrified. He felt his own origin spirit tearing apart, shredded by a force and transformed into essence that merged into his opponent’s body. His body began to wither. This terrifying sensation made him want to resist, but he was utterly powerless to do so.
Wang Xinshui’s panicked expression did not make Ye Chu stop. He continuously refined his opponent’s origin spirit essence. The origin spirit essence of an upper grade king was of great use to a cultivator. Especially for Ye Tian, obtaining such a thing would increase his chances of stepping into the king realm by several times.
Soon, Wang Xinshui completely turned into a dried corpse, and quite a few pill grains appeared in Ye Chu’s palm. To Ye Chu, his opponent’s essence was of no use to him at all.
However, as the people of Yao City watched Wang Xinshui turn into a dried corpse, their faces turned even paler, looking at Ye Chu with a horror as if they had seen a ghost. In their eyes, Ye Chu was no different from a monster that drank human blood.
