“Hand over our people and wake them up. I will not hold it against you.” The outsider stared at Pang Shao with contempt in his eyes.
Every cultivator from the Killing Spirit Realm was supremely noble. Anyone who could enter that circle likely had the backing of a powerful great cultivator from the Killing Spirit Realm. It was common for them to beat the young ones only for the elders to come out.
That alone was bad enough. More importantly, as long as someone claimed to be from the Killing Spirit Realm, many cultivators would willingly step forward to stand up for them.
So if possible, they absolutely did not want to provoke anyone from the Killing Spirit Realm.
While Pang Shao and the others fell silent, Ye Chu laughed and stepped forward. “I would like to see exactly how you plan to hold it against us.”
“A bunch of spoiled playboys. You had better not provoke what you cannot handle, or you will regret it.” The outsider snorted coldly as he stared at Ye Chu.
“Being a Killing Spirit cultivator is indeed something to fear, but have you not realised your situation yet? Right now you are on our turf. Whether you live or die is entirely up to us.” Ye Chu smiled as he looked at the man.
Hearing Ye Chu’s words, Pang Shao also burst into laughter. “I am indeed afraid of the Killing Spirit Realm. I am afraid of provoking you lot and having my bad-tempered grandfather call me ignorant again. But that does not mean your identity will let you escape.”
Pang Shao thought to himself that this was the imperial city. Even if a great cultivator from the Killing Spirit Realm came, they could not possibly deal with the Pang family. So what was there to fear?
“Hmph! Ignorant fools. Today I will deal with you first!” The outsider roared in fury. He glared coldly at the group led by Xu Feng. “With just me alone, it is more than enough to handle a bunch of spoiled brats like you.”
“Then let us see what you are capable of!” Ye Chu stared at the man and gestured for Liu Shaoyang and the others to step back.
The outsider’s fingers moved rapidly. Wisps of grey power surged from his fingertips. As his arm swept out, the muscles in his arm trembled with terrifying explosive force.
Liu Shaoyang and the others saw this and their expressions changed. The opponent had definitely reached the Innate Realm, though they did not know exactly which layer. Moreover, the combat power of a Killing Spirit cultivator was several times stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. Because they could unleash a portion of killing aura’s attributes.
Right now, the grey power surging from the man carried the aura of killing energy.
“Off you go!” The outsider roared. His arm shot straight towards Ye Chu. A contemptuous smirk curled at the corner of his mouth. He had once refined a type of killing aura. Though it was not strong, it still carried a trace of its essence. Relying on that killing aura, he had even killed a fifth-layer Innate Realm cultivator.
How could the young man before him possibly withstand him? Just a bunch of spoiled playboys. He might as well deal with them all at once. Perhaps Ye Yuanwu would even thank him. When the time came to make demands, Ye Yuanwu would surely agree readily.
The outsider unleashed a palm strike brimming with terrifying explosive power. The wind howled as his arm moved. The fierce and ruthless strike swept straight towards Ye Chu’s vital point.
Seeing the strike about to reach Ye Chu’s throat, Liu Shaoyang and the others cried out anxiously, “Ye Chu! Watch out!”
Everyone’s hearts tightened. They had only ever heard of the terror and mystery of Killing Spirit cultivators. Naturally, they assumed they were extraordinarily formidable. Watching Ye Chu’s vital point about to be struck, they could not help feeling horrified.
But just as everyone watched in worry, Ye Chu had somehow placed his hand in front of his throat. The opponent’s palm landed squarely in his palm. Ye Chu’s hand did not move an inch.
The outsider’s face showed surprise. He thought to himself that this young man indeed had some strength. With his second-layer Innate Realm power, he had failed to shake the opponent even slightly. From this, one could see how solid the other party’s strength was.
But the outsider was not worried. Strength was not their only weapon. Killing Spirit cultivators had unique methods that were the nightmare of ordinary cultivators.
The outsider flicked his arm. Grey power surged continuously into it. In an instant, his arm was coated in a heart-palpitating glow, carrying a faint foul stench.
The stench spread out. Liu Shaoyang and the others covered their noses and could not help cursing loudly. “Damn it! I thought Pang Shao was low enough. I never expected you to be even more vulgar. Releasing fart-like stench to try and defeat us?”
The outsider ignored Liu Shaoyang’s curses. As his arm moved, he said, “In the Killing Spirit Realm, I am not even considered an entry-level member. Even so, I have refined killing aura from a tomb. With it, I killed a fifth-layer Innate Realm cultivator.”
Though Liu Shaoyang and the others were cursing, hearing this made them tense up. From the man’s words, they could imagine he had refined killing aura from a tomb. If he could deal with a fifth-layer Innate Realm cultivator, could Ye Chu withstand it?
They knew Ye Chu had a special method for handling killing aura, but this was a Killing Spirit cultivator. It was different from ordinary killing aura.
Ye Chu did not take the initiative to attack. His gaze fixed on the grey power around the opponent’s arm. He wanted to see exactly what terrifying methods Killing Spirit cultivators possessed.
As the opponent moved, the grey power transformed into threads that coiled towards Ye Chu, sealing off the area around him and constantly seeping into his body. Wherever Ye Chu’s clothes touched the grey power, holes corroded through instantly.
Such terrifying corrosive power made everyone frown. Ye Chu’s arms moved continuously, using spiritual energy to scatter the opponent’s grey power.
As their powers clashed, Ye Chu finally understood the opponent’s terror. Though his own strength was far greater, the opponent’s grey power corroded relentlessly. His power could not do anything to the outsider.
The outsider sneered. “Useless. You are dead for sure!”
Ye Chu was genuinely shocked inside. Killing Spirit cultivators truly were different. Because their power carried the aura of killing energy, it was fatal to ordinary cultivators. At this moment, Ye Chu finally believed the opponent had truly killed a fifth-layer cultivator.
“Die!” The outsider roared again. Another strike erupted, filling the entire room with foul stench, intent on completely corroding Ye Chu.
The outsider was confident that this strike was enough to finish the opponent. Back then, that fifth-layer Innate Realm cultivator had died under this very move.
The outsider’s grey power coiled around Ye Chu’s arm and seeped straight into his body. Seeing this, the outsider sneered inwardly. No matter how strong you are, you will die.
Just as the outsider sneered, Ye Chu suddenly let out a cold laugh. The arm wrapped in grey power suddenly shook violently.
“I just wanted to see what tricks you had. Did you really think your pathetic trace of killing aura could do anything to me?”
Amidst his disdainful words, the outsider who thought victory was assured was struck squarely by Ye Chu. In his incredulous gaze, he spat blood and flew backwards. As he did, he heard Ye Chu say, “Pang Shao, he is yours now. Search him. If there is no manual, let our ultimate weapon, Auntie Liu, keep him company.”
