“You cannot do anything to me, and I do not believe you can keep blocking my attacks forever!” Peng Guang saw Ye Chu unleash another palm strike towards him. Sword light flashed, his gaze turned cold, his arm shook, and his five fingers formed five claws, aiming directly at five vital points on Ye Chu’s body.
A surge of vigorous power erupted, emitting a low rumbling sound. The brilliant radiance forced Ye Chu to retreat.
“I told you, sooner or later you will lose! I…” Peng Guang’s face darkened, and he let out a cold snort as he spoke, but his words had only reached halfway when his expression changed drastically. His arm shot up to block his chest! But just as he blocked, Ye Chu’s palm reached out and grabbed directly at Peng Guang’s vital point, while his foot swept out in a horizontal kick aimed at Peng Guang’s groin.
The Silent Sword coordinated with Ye Chu’s attack, catching Peng Guang completely off guard. He could not dodge in time, and a cut was slashed across his chest. His clothes tore open, and the Dao Enlightenment Stone in his bosom flew out.
Seeing the Dao Enlightenment Stone fly out, two cultivators immediately lunged forward, wanting to snatch it into their own hands.
Ye Chu watched this scene with a cold snort. His fingers moved, several sword lights shot out, and numerous petals flew forth, wrapping around the Dao Enlightenment Stone and pulling it into his hand.
“Something that this young master fought for with his own effort, do you think you lot can snatch it? A bunch of trash!” Ye Chu stared at these two people and shouted, full of disdain.
“You are courting death!” The two cultivators roared in fury. Although they were not as powerful as Peng Guang, they were still notable figures, both having reached the ninth level. Yet he dared to provoke them while fighting Peng Guang. This was simply seeking death.
Ye Chu did not even glance at these two people. His gaze turned to Peng Guang, carrying a few points of contempt as he said, “You are nothing special either! My apologies, I forgot to tell you that I am also a Spirit Master. Although I am only half-trained, that is more than enough to deal with you.”
Peng Guang stared at Ye Chu with deadly intensity, especially at the Dao Enlightenment Stone in Ye Chu’s hand. His face turned extremely cold and sinister.
“You may have the life to snatch it, but I fear you will not have the life to take it away!” Peng Guang stared at Ye Chu and snorted.
Ye Chu laughed heartily, pointing at the group of cultivators as he shouted, “Are you saying this bunch of trash can kill me? Very well! I will place this Dao Enlightenment Stone in my bosom. If you have the ability, come and take it. This young master does not mind if you all attack together!”
“Courting death!”
“Do not know the immensity of heaven and earth!”
“This young master will pluck his feathers!”
“This brat wants to be skinned and have his tendons pulled!”
“…”
One after another, they cursed. Ye Chu’s single sentence of “trash” had thoroughly enraged them. They glared at Ye Chu one by one, their auras shaking, wanting to rush forward and annihilate Ye Chu.
Ye Jingyun watched this scene with her heart pounding in fear. Looking at Ye Chu standing there calmly with a composed expression, she cursed under her breath, “This bastard really thinks he is invincible! These dozens of cultivators, whose strength has not reached the upper grade of the Xuan Ming Realm? With such strength, if they surrounded and attacked together, even a King would flee in panic. Ye Chu is seeking death!”
Watching Ye Chu, who had incurred the wrath of the masses, Ye Jingyun wanted to drag Ye Chu away from here quickly. But she had not expected Ye Chu to add fuel to the fire. “A bunch of trash. This young master cursed at you, so what? What use are you? Not convinced?! If you have the ability, beat me to the ground!”
Ye Chu’s voice shook out like thunderclaps resounding in everyone’s ears. It made every cultivator burn with rage, their eyes glaring furiously, their faces flushed red.
The cultivators who walked the path of heavenly pride were all considered to possess outstanding talent. Otherwise, they would not have been able to walk this path. And their own excellence also made them full of arrogance, unable to endure even the slightest insult. But at this moment, Ye Chu kept saying “trash” left and right, making them jump with fury, with hearts that wanted to dismember Ye Chu alive.
However, they did not attack together. They stared at Ye Chu one by one with dark expressions. They wanted to see what ability Ye Chu had to block the two cultivators and Peng Guang who stepped forward.
If it were a single cultivator, none of them would be Ye Chu’s opponent. But with two people coordinating with Peng Guang’s attack, it would be more than enough to deal with Ye Chu. Because earlier, Peng Guang had already fought Ye Chu to a standstill.
Seeing the three of them surrounding him in a triangular formation, Ye Chu smiled and said, “Three people probably are not enough. Why do you not send a few more? Since you are all trash anyway, a few more will not make much difference!”
“You are courting death!” The two cultivators could not endure it any longer. They roared in fury, each erupting with terrifying power as they charged towards Ye Chu. Their power was overbearing and terrifying. Although it could not compare to Peng Guang, it was still astonishing.
Ye Chu’s feet stepped on the Instant Wind, his arms danced, and he blocked the two head on. As his arms shook, power coursed through them, directly forcing the two cultivators to retreat several steps.
Of course, Ye Chu had not gained the upper hand either. His feet moved, dissipating the force of the opponent’s attack.
The two stared intently at Ye Chu’s bosom. That was where the Dao Enlightenment Stone lay. This item was absolutely not something he should possess.
Yu Jin and the others all stared at Ye Chu. Most of the cultivators here belonged to certain factions. For example, the two cultivators currently attacking Ye Chu had a closer relationship with Gu Xing.
At this moment, having someone expend Gu Xing’s combat strength was exactly what he wished for. Because now they were not only competing for the Dao Enlightenment Stone, but also competing for the championship.
Whoever could emerge victorious from the crowd’s struggle would become the champion. Every aristocratic family in the city would have to give one tenth of their resources to that person. This was wealth that made people mad with envy, and everyone was willing to obtain it!
Peng Guang was a candidate for the championship. The Ye Chu who had appeared now was also a championship candidate. They wished nothing more than for these two to fight until both sides suffered!
Of course, this was already somewhat unlikely. With Peng Guang joining forces with two powerful cultivators, defeating Ye Chu would be a simple matter. Yu Jin admitted that under such a siege, he would certainly be defeated.
Everyone waited for Ye Chu’s defeat, but Ye Chu laughed heartily instead. His arms danced, and fierce attacks continuously burst forth. His arms swung down with constant whistling sounds, overbearing and terrifying, continuously striking out.
Seeing this, Peng Guang also swung his arms. Power as terrifying as a wild beast’s roar exploded, striking out with horrifying force that made the space hiss and crackle. Together with the other two cultivators, the three of them from three different directions smashed heavily towards Ye Chu.
The terrifying and overbearing power erupted at this moment, sweeping towards Ye Chu. Ye Chu’s movement techniques were greatly suppressed. This caused Peng Guang to sneer, “Now, let’s see what other abilities you have to resist me!”
The violent power smashed in front of Ye Chu, and instantly dense cracks spread everywhere. The ground churned up waves of mud.
Ye Chu looked at the three sweeping towards him and laughed heartily. The moves in his hands changed unpredictably. The Silent Sword shot out, blocking one of them. His fingers moved in rapid succession, petals flew wildly, and artistic conceptions erupted. Various artistic conceptions shifted and shot towards the two.
“I said you are trash, so you are trash.” Ye Chu laughed heartily. Violent power erupted, several points stronger than before. His attacks became even more overbearing, with various artistic conceptions shifting. The two true intents of defence and attack were coordinated with extreme subtlety.
This scene caused the faces of Nuo Ran and the others to change. No one had expected that Ye Chu had still been holding back some of his strength just now.
