A single stone stirred up ten thousand waves.
The news that Ye Chu had killed the guardians of the Proud Son of Heaven Road instantly spread across the entire road. No one could believe his actions. But similarly, the road also went completely mad. Numerous cultivators went to surround and kill Ye Chu.
Ye Chu killing the guardians made him equal to a public enemy. Being able to kill Ye Chu meant not only receiving rewards from the road. Most importantly, Ye Chu possessed sacred liquid. Such temptation, no one could resist.
Previously everyone had feared Ye Chu’s strength, but this time was different. Ye Chu was a public enemy. Every cultivator on the road could punish him, and even older generation experts could act. This gave countless people courage.
The older generation on the road had previously been restricted by rules from acting, but now they could act openly and honourably. Especially those approaching their lifespan limit became even more frenzied. Because they were about to die. If they obtained sacred liquid, they could live a few more years. For them, this was infinite temptation.
Thus, numerous cultivators joined forces to surround and kill Ye Chu, naturally under the banner of upholding the rules of the Proud Son of Heaven Road.
Ye Chu thought only of Xi Xi. He showed no mercy to those surrounding him, blades rising and falling, killing all the way.
Ye Chu was ferocious. Everyone knew this clearly. So when facing him, the combined forces were extremely powerful, with king level experts certainly present. But they still underestimated Ye Chu’s strength. All the way through, no matter what methods or secret techniques they used, Ye Chu killed his way through.
Ye Chu’s ferocity far exceeded his previous performance on the road. This shocked countless cultivators. Even older generation figures became increasingly cautious when opposing him, recruiting more and more experts, laying nets of heaven and earth ahead, and employing formations before daring to surround him.
Although clearly knowing what kind of scene lay ahead, to deliver the blood and save Xi Xi’s life, Ye Chu knew full well what dangers faced him, but could only press forward. From the moment he walked the return path, Ye Chu knew this would be the situation.
Blood spilling all the way, Ye Chu fought with boiling blood, his entire body radiating killing intent, his artistic conception fully charged as he charged and killed, slaughtering cultivators one by one, breaking through their repeated encirclements. Ye Chu fought until his entire person’s blood energy surged. With every step, deep blood prints remained behind him.
This siege was unlike before. This time the road’s guardians and older generation could all act. The combat strength was far greater than before. Even with Ye Chu’s current strength, fighting all the way through, he could not help but spill blood.
But even so, Ye Chu grew increasingly brave as he fought. His entire person was like an unsheathed treasured sword. Wherever the sword tip pointed, blood certainly flowed without end.
Fighting through such a brutal path, everyone felt their hearts chill, fearing Ye Chu’s strength in their hearts.
They had to be terrified, surrounding Ye Chu all the way. Each time their strength increased. Each time they thought the force pursuing Ye Chu was sufficient. But each time they were defeated by Ye Chu’s killing. They grew stronger, Ye Chu also grew stronger. Ye Chu seemed to have no limit, growing increasingly brave as he fought, killing until their hearts chilled. They clearly made Ye Chu spill blood, thinking he had reached his limit. Then the next siege’s strength increased by a level, but still they could only make Ye Chu spill blood while they themselves were defeated.
In such sieges, failure after failure. What remained were countless cultivators’ corpses, naturally including many guardians. Even king level experts, several were slain by Ye Chu.
Older generation cultivators, no one knew how many were killed by Ye Chu.
This mad killing earned Ye Chu countless hatreds. Especially the guardians. Each one killed further enraged the road. The road’s pursuing strength grew stronger.
In such brutality, Ye Chu travelled all the way, constantly heading back. He killed out from Twelfth City, directly fought out of Eleventh City, and was about to kill into Tenth City.
Everyone had originally thought Ye Chu would soon be killed by the road’s cultivators, but had not expected this situation. Especially hearing that Ye Chu directly charged out of Eleventh City, killing until the entire city gate was stained with blood. This made cultivators draw in cold breath.
“Ye Chu is rather too strong!”
“Tsk tsk! This fellow truly wants to defy heaven. I heard along this killing path, no less than a thousand cultivators were killed. Moreover, among them were several king level experts!”
“Too terrifying. This fellow is truly a monster. No wonder he dared to kill guardians!”
“But, breaking the rules of the Proud Son of Heaven Road means certain death.”
“Only, who knows how long he can persist. I heard Ye Chu fought intensely all the way, spilling blood, but we cannot witness it with our own eyes. Otherwise, such battles should make our blood boil.”
“Yes! Along the way, cultivators surrounding Ye Chu were defeated again and again. It is hard to imagine what kind of transformation he will undergo after experiencing such bloody battles.”
“Truly a proud son of heaven! Throughout history, only a few cultivators dared walk the return path, and only a few survived. I rather hope Ye Chu can survive too.”
“Impossible! The road’s pursuit has not yet reached its most frenzied state. The more Ye Chu walks the return path, the longer the time, the more cultivators gather on the road. They will wait for Ye Chu ahead. No matter how strong Ye Chu is reckoned to be, he will certainly die.”
“Yes! Throughout history, those who could walk the return path on the road are few. But which of those figures were not famously supreme experts, becoming figures who shook the Emotion Domain. Though Ye Chu is an outstanding person, he cannot compare to them.”
“There is a saying. Those who dare walk the Proud Son of Heaven Road in reverse have true courage. Those who can survive walking out in reverse are true proud sons of heaven. Though Ye Chu has courage and dominance. But as for being a proud son of heaven…”
“…”
The entire road went mad for Ye Chu. News swept across the entire road. Cultivators ahead on the road were boiling with enthusiasm, all wanting to surround and kill Ye Chu. However, they did not dare walk the road in reverse. They could not help but sigh at this.
They thought it was a pity. The sacred liquid would probably fall into the hands of the older generation and guardians. That was sacred liquid. If it could be in their hands, it would certainly make their strength soar and talent improve. Perhaps they could comprehend the Dao of the Red Dust Female Saint, and step into the realm of transcending holiness.
But now, they could only watch the guardians and older generation seize it and leave.
“What a pity…”
Numerous cultivators sighed.
Of course Ye Chu did not know that many people thought he would certainly die, and the sacred liquid would fall into others’ hands. At this moment, Ye Chu still killed all the way forward. Blood dyed his clothes red. He grew increasingly brave as he fought, killing until numerous cultivators’ hearts chilled.
The older generation also felt terror in their hearts, not daring to act casually. They could only join forces with the guardians, acting together to slay Ye Chu.
