“Who are you, sir? Where has our Seven Emperor Mountain offended you, that you would actually go on a killing spree?” The person who stepped forward was Gao Wu, the Fifth Gate Master of Seven Emperor Mountain. He stared fixedly at Ye Chu. Although he could not sense a trace of Ye Chu’s aura, he knew this person was very strong. Being able to kill a King with a snap of the fingers required at least the strength of an Emperor. This person was at the very least on the same level as him. If he could avoid making an enemy of such a figure, he naturally would not want to.
“A killing spree?” Ye Chu smiled in surprise, then glanced around and said, “Are you sure you are not mistaken? Ever since coming up this mountain, I have not taken the initiative to strike. It was them who wanted to kill me. If this young master truly went on a killing spree, do you think they would still be alive?”
The bright smile and gaze made Gao Wu feel very uncomfortable. He took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his body, and looked at Ye Chu as he said, “Then I wonder what brings you here, sir? Our Seven Emperor Mountain does not receive outsiders!”
“Whether they are outsiders or not remains to be seen. However, there is a matter I need to discuss with you. Over the past few days, you have been rampantly snatching Golden Woodpecker Beaks. Should you not return them to us now?”
“You are from Xiang Family Village?” Gao Wu finally reacted and glared at Ye Chu. He was also very clear about the matters concerning Xiang Family Village. Rumour had it that Xiang Family Village was guarded by a woman with at least the strength of a top-tier King. Several waves of their cultivators had been killed. Originally, Gao Wu had planned to deal with them when he had free hands later, but he never expected the other party to take the initiative to come to their door. “Where is that woman?”
“You mean Ye Jingyun?” Ye Chu looked at Gao Wu and smiled. “She is tired and is resting!”
Gao Wu stared fixedly at Ye Chu, a cold and sinister look surging in his eyes. “You have a lot of nerve. Do you think just because you have a bit of strength, you dare to come to our Seven Emperor Mountain to demand things? Once things arrive at Seven Emperor Mountain, there is no reason for them to be taken out. Since you are here, let me tell you this. Next time, if Xiang Family Village does not hand over ten thousand Golden Woodpecker Beaks, Xiang Family Village will be razed to the ground.”
“What big talk!” Ye Chu smiled as he looked at the other party. “But before you can do that, I must first take what we are owed. Besides, the scenery here is excellent, and I plan to carve out a cave dwelling here to live in for a long time.”
Such contemptuous words made everyone look at each other in blank dismay, unable to understand how Ye Chu could have such confidence in the face of their Gate Master. Could he really resist the Gate Master? Everyone’s eyes turned to Gao Wu, seeing him clench his fists tightly and stare coldly at Ye Chu.
“If you want to carve out a cave dwelling, fine, but defeat me first!” Gao Wu stared at Ye Chu. The aura on his body erupted violently. Amidst the terrifying tremors of his aura, a horrific hurricane swept through the surroundings. The hurricane rose, sending sand and stones flying, and the space was scratched with hissing sounds.
The might of an Emperor was fully exposed at this moment. Amidst the impact, many cultivators retreated frantically, looking at Gao Wu in shock. Many had never seen Gao Wu make a move, only knowing he was very strong. At this moment, from his aura, they truly felt his formidable power.
“Not bad! It is still pleasing to the eye!” Ye Chu watched as Gao Wu’s aura pressed and broke the giant trees, nodding at him in praise.
“It is more than just not bad, it is lethal!” Power surged from all of Gao Wu’s limbs and bones, rushing into his fists like a galloping tsunami. A giant ferocious beast head appeared on his fists, and the ferocious beast head roared.
The ferocious beast head and fists charged towards Ye Chu together, being extremely terrifying and overbearing. Many people held their breath, staring straight at the fist that could destroy a mountain peak. Looking at the figure standing in front of them, they almost saw Ye Chu being pierced through.
Watching this punch come, Ye Chu raised his hand, and cyan light flashed on his body. If Ye Jingyun were here at this moment, she would definitely be able to tell this was Chaos Azure Qi, and she would also despise Ye Chu. To deal with an ordinary Emperor, he actually used Chaos Azure Qi. This was simply embarrassing.
However, as the Chaos Azure Qi surged into Ye Chu’s fist, his entire fist became incredibly heavy. This was the terror of the Chaos Azure Qi. A single trace could crush a mountain peak. The physical bodies of cultivators could hardly bear such weight, so no one could ever imagine what it would be like if the Chaos Azure Qi and the physical body were fused together.
Yet Ye Chu had achieved it. The Chaos Azure Qi fused into his fist, and a punch was swung out just like that. There was no terrifying might like Gao Wu’s, but only Ye Chu knew this punch weighed ten thousand catties.
“Die!” Gao Wu roared. The ferocious and terrifying beast head, accompanying the charging fist, shot straight at Ye Chu’s chest.
“I merely said you were not bad, but that does not mean you can make a move against me!” A not very loud voice rang out, and then Ye Chu’s fist met it. The ferocious beast head, which was so terrifying that it made everyone shiver, began to crack the moment it touched Ye Chu’s fist.
That was power sufficient to blast a mountain to pieces, yet it cracked in an instant. It was as if Ye Chu’s fist was an unshakeable sacred mountain. Ye Chu’s fist slid past and collided with his fist.
“Crack…”
A loud sound of bones shattering vibrated people’s eardrums. Following that, they saw a figure fly out. Blood drops trailed a long line as he flew out, scarlet and glaring.
The flying figure was so fast that it was hard for the human eye to see clearly. Before the crowd’s gaze could catch up, he had already heavily collided with a mountain peak.
The mountain peak was not small. This single collision directly broke the mountain peak in half. After the massive peak was broken, the top of the mountain crashed downwards with a rumble. Terrifying giant rocks rolled down, making a roaring sound, startling the area for a hundred miles around.
“Hiss…”
The cultivators watching this battle all held their breath, staring blankly at Ye Chu. A chill surged from the soles of their feet. Looking at that tall and somewhat slender body, they felt their very breathing was suppressed.
“That was an Emperor!”
Watching the collapsed mountain peak crash down, every cultivator was shocked. An Emperor was defeated in just one move by him. Just how strong was this young man? When did Xiang Family Village get such an existence to guard them?
“Boom…”
With a loud bang, the broken mountain peak finally crashed down. The earth trembled at this moment. Some people even lost their footing and fell to the ground from such trembling. Yet he could not feel any pain at all. At this moment, all he had in his heart was terror and shock.
One punch thrown, blasting away an Emperor. The residual force on the Emperor was enough to blast a mountain peak in half. Just how much power was contained in that seemingly weak punch of his?
“Too weak to withstand a single blow!”
The words of Ye Chu spread out, making many people’s hearts ache. A堂堂 (distinguished) Emperor was described by him as too weak to withstand a single blow. Then what did that make them? No wonder he did not even look at them properly on the way up the mountain!
“With just this bit of strength, you actually have the nerve to act tyrannically and bully ordinary people. You have truly lived in vain!” The not very loud voice of Ye Chu reached every position, making countless people tremble and stand with their heads bowed.
