Despite their shock, the two cultivators still burst forth with power, kicking fiercely at Ye Chu with their feet.
Watching this scene, Du Liang felt somewhat anxious and wanted to step in to help Ye Chu. But just as he was preparing to act, he saw Ye Chu’s foot sweep out fiercely. The two cultivators who had just been showing off were instantly smashed onto the ground. Their mouths hit the earth like dogs eating dirt, several teeth were knocked out, and blood flowed from their mouths.
“How, still want to play?” Ye Chu looked at Huo Nong with a smile, slightly increasing the force in his hand.
“Ouch…” Huo Nong screamed miserably. His other hand grabbed Ye Chu’s hand, trying to pry it open, but no matter how hard he tried it was useless. Ye Chu’s hand was like an iron clamp.
Huo Nong’s face twisted in pain. Finally he begged for mercy. “My lord! Spare me, I will never dare again!”
Ye Chu kicked Huo Nong in the body. Huo Nong followed in the footsteps of the other two cultivators. His front teeth were shattered and blood flowed from his mouth. “Hand over the Spirit Origin Pills!”
Although Ye Chu’s voice was not loud, Huo Nong did not dare to resist in the slightest. He quickly handed over the Spirit Origin Pills he had seized from Du Liang to Ye Chu.
Ye Chu casually tossed them into Huo Nong’s hand and said to him, “From now on, every month, send half of your Spirit Origin Pills to Du Liang. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself.”
Ye Chu looked at Du Liang with a smile. The corner of his mouth carried a trace of a smile, but this smile made Du Liang’s entire body shiver with cold. They respectfully agreed, then scrambled up from the ground in a sorry state. The three of them supported each other and quickly fled.
Watching the three leave, Ye Chu then looked at Du Liang who was already stunned. He patted him and shouted, “Come back to your senses!”
Only then did Du Liang shiver. Looking at Ye Chu, who was full of smiles, lazy, and somewhat pale in complexion, he spoke blankly, “You are actually this strong?”
“I cannot say I am that strong, but I can still easily deal with a few petty people like them. You also cultivate with dedication. Before long, you will surpass them. Then you will not need to fear them bullying you anymore.”
Du Liang smiled awkwardly. Looking Ye Chu up and down, he said, “I should have guessed you were not simple. Who could still survive under such injuries? Have you already reached the Xuan Ming Realm? Right, before this, could I have passed the test because you helped me?”
Du Liang widened his eyes, staring straight at Ye Chu, thinking of this possibility.
“Not too stupid!” Ye Chu said to Du Liang with a smile. Looking at the pitifully few Spirit Origin Pills in Du Liang’s hand, he took out over a thousand and gave them to him, and also gave him quite a few Green Origin Pills. “Take these to cultivate. With these things, it will not be too hard for you to catch up to those people.”
Du Liang looked at the things Ye Chu handed him. His eyes went straight. His breathing became rapid. Looking at Ye Chu, his gaze became fiery.
“You… are you a young master from a great clan, then got hunted down? Suffered serious injuries, and were saved by me? Heavens, this poor menial servant also has such fortune. Could it be that this poor menial servant is about to change his fate because of this? Ye Chu, if you are a wealthy young master, do you not have many of those peerless cultivation techniques? Just give me a few copies.”
Hearing Du Liang’s words, Ye Chu’s face almost twisted. He thought, this bastard’s delusions are too severe. He can even dream up such things!
Ye Chu ignored Du Liang. He thought, his dream has not yet ended, so let him continue dreaming.
“Ye Chu! Do not go, are you a young master from a great clan or not? Just give me some pointers, let me become an expert. Let me look down upon the Qing Domain…”
The corner of Ye Chu’s mouth twitched even more severely. Damn it, still looking down upon the Qing Domain. If he had such ability, would he have ended up injured like that?
“Scram!” Ye Chu roared angrily.
Seeing Ye Chu furious, Du Liang finally woke from his delusions. He chuckled, “Was I not just joking with you? If I really had such dogshit luck and truly encountered such a figure, would I not soar to the heavens? But thinking about it now, I was also dreaming. You were beaten into such a state by others. However strong you are, it is limited. Changing my fate is even more impossible.”
“Then who was it that let you become a formal disciple?” Ye Chu rolled his eyes, looking at Du Liang with contempt.
Du Liang smiled and said, “That is true, but it is also limited to this. Sigh, my dream of becoming a strong one still cannot be realised.”
Seeing Ye Chu ignoring him, Du Liang became worried again. “Today you beat Huo Nong. I fear they will not let this go. Huo Nong is not the one to fear. Most importantly, behind him stands a senior brother in the pavilion. This senior brother can rank in the top ten among all disciples in the pavilion. He is so powerful he looks down on the world. If he makes a move, both of us will be finished.”
“Top ten in the pavilion? How strong?” Ye Chu asked curiously.
“Very very strong. Anyway, killing me is as easy as moving a finger!” Du Liang pulled a long face, looking at Ye Chu with a bitter expression.
Ye Chu spat. He thought, with your strength, any random cultivator could kill you by moving a finger. However, Ye Chu also knew Du Liang’s vision was limited. He probably could not accurately evaluate such a powerful figure.
“Do not worry. How could such a figure bother with someone like you who just became a formal disciple?” Seeing Du Liang extremely worried, Ye Chu smiled and comforted him.
Ye Chu was not worried at all. For example, Ye Chu himself, would he go looking for trouble with someone at the Spirit Entry Realm? That would be too beneath his status!
Du Liang thought this was true too, but he could not help worrying. “After all, Huo Nong has been a formal disciple for five years. He has extensive connections. If he brings a few other cultivators…”
Ye Chu did not bother with Du Liang’s worries. He thought, this fellow’s thoughts are too active. This is called self-despair syndrome, incurable!
“If you have the energy to worry, you might as well cultivate properly!” Ye Chu said. “But there is something I want to ask you. Are there many Spirit Slayers in the Tianxiao Pavilion?”
Du Liang looked at Ye Chu suspiciously. “You do not even know this?”
“Hmm?” Ye Chu asked curiously.
Du Liang answered, “The Spirit Slayers of the Tianxiao Pavilion call themselves a separate pavilion, called the Sha Ling Pavilion. Among them are the most powerful Spirit Slayers of the Tianxiao Pavilion. Rumour has it that experts who have seized the creation of heaven and earth have emerged from it. The Sha Ling Pavilion is the strongest pavilion apart from the pavilion core. Rumour has it that one tenth of the Spirit Slayers in the Qing Domain have been absorbed by the Sha Pavilion.”
Ye Chu was greatly shaken by Du Liang’s words. One tenth of the Spirit Slayers of an entire domain had been absorbed by the Tianxiao Pavilion. What a terrifying achievement. And to be able to attract so many Spirit Slayers to join, it must have extraordinary methods.
Ye Chu suddenly became fiery. If he could grasp some Spirit Slaying techniques from the Tianxiao Pavilion, his combat power would definitely skyrocket.
Most importantly, at this moment the Cold Fire Emperor wanted to refine his Yuan Spirit. If he had Spirit Slaying techniques, it would be difficult for him to refine it.
“It seems I need to find a way to get some Spirit Slaying techniques,” Ye Chu muttered in his heart, having thoughts in mind.
