“Rumble…”
Xiang Chunan and his group were at the foot of the mountain. They saw a distant peak explode and then collapse. The massive tremor left Xiang Chunan and the others standing there in shock, staring blankly as the rubble burst forth.
“Such terrifying power!”
Just now, they had seen someone shoot out and smash into the mountain peak. It was obvious that the person had been beaten into such a state. Xiang Chunan’s eyes were full of excitement. Just how strong must a person be to unleash such terrifying power?
“Miss Ye, the person just now…” Xiang Chunan was somewhat worried again, fearing that the person who had smashed into the peak was Ye Chu.
Ye Jingyun was equally dazed. She knew Ye Chu was strong. But to unleash such momentum with a single punch still left her feeling it was unbelievable.
“Let us go up the mountain!” Ye Jingyun suddenly said to Xiang Fu. “Rest assured, I guarantee your safety.”
Hearing Ye Jingyun say this, Xiang Fu naturally would not refuse any further. “We would be satisfied just if you could take us up. If we truly encounter danger, please do not feel any pressure, Miss!”
Ye Chu smiled. With the momentum of Ye Chu’s punch just now, what danger could there be in taking people up the mountain now? Who would still dare to stop them?
…
Just as Ye Jingyun had thought, no one dared to make a move against Ye Chu. Occasionally, when Ye Chu’s gaze swept over them, they were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, their faces completely devoid of colour.
“Where are the other six emperors?” Ye Chu grabbed a cultivator with decent strength and asked.
Having witnessed the might of Ye Chu killing an emperor with a single punch, they naturally did not dare to hide it. “The other sect masters are all forging weapons!”
“Where?” Ye Chu asked.
“At…”
“Boom…”
Before the other person could finish speaking, a loud explosion erupted from one direction. Six terrifying auras burst forth from the direction of the mountain peak, accompanied by a thunderous roar. “Who dares to cause trouble at our sect!”
Following the loud roar, six figures shot towards Ye Chu, surrounding him. Each of these six men held a gleaming golden spear in their hands. The light of the sun and moon flowed within them, and a chilling, terrifying glint flashed.
“Where is Fifth Brother?” The tall leader, Gao Da, stared at one of the cultivators. The cultivator trembled as he recounted what had just happened. Along the way, he secretly glanced at Ye Chu. Seeing Ye Chu’s gaze fall upon him, his cold sweat soaked his clothes.
After hearing the account, the six men’s pupils contracted sharply, and they stared straight at Ye Chu. It was hard to believe that the young man before them was actually so formidable, killing Fifth Brother with a single punch, and that the collapse of the mountain peak just now was merely the residual force.
“Who are you?” Gao Da stared at Ye Chu, terrified of offending someone he should not. Anyone who could nurture such a figure must belong to one of the great powers.
“Do not worry, I am just an ordinary cultivator with no backing!” Ye Chu looked at the six men and smiled, his gaze falling on the weapons in their hands. “I can actually understand why you have been so aggressively scavenging for golden woodpecker beaks. Forging a few such weapons requires quite a lot of materials.”
“How are we to settle the account for you killing my fifth brother?” Hearing Ye Chu say he had no backing, Gao Da did not dare to fully believe it. But when he saw Third Brother carrying the lifeless body of Gao Wu over, his anger consumed him.
The seven brothers shared a deep bond. For this weapon forging, they had let Fifth Brother stay outside to oversee the overall situation. Where did they expect him to be beaten to death by the other party? He originally had some reservations, but now all that remained was the desire for revenge.
“If you want to kill me, just kill me!” Ye Chu shrugged at them.
“You are courting death!” The six men looked at Ye Chu. Although Ye Chu’s ability to kill an emperor with a single punch had shocked them, would they still fear the other party when the six of them joined forces? Most importantly, they currently held the Sun and Moon Weapons in their hands. These were forged entirely from golden woodpecker beaks, tough and sharp, capable of causing their strength to skyrocket. Even if he was strong, he had to die here. They did not believe this person could defy the heavens!
“Do not be so agitated. I have only come this time to take back what belongs to us. These golden woodpecker beaks were robbed by you, so naturally they must be returned to us. Since you have forged weapons, then just give the weapons to us.” Ye Chu looked at the six men, showing no fear despite them being numerous and heavily armed.
Gao Da snorted. The weapon in his hand shot straight towards Ye Chu, carrying a sharp gleam, and instantly arrived before Ye Chu, as fast as lightning.
The crowd watched Gao Da make his move, and a sense of expectation arose in their hearts, hoping that the sect masters joining forces could kill this young man.
“The sect masters will definitely win!”
“The six sect masters are joining forces. Unless the other party can defy the heavens, how can they be a match?”
“Moreover, the sect masters’ weapons have finally been successfully forged. He definitely cannot defeat them.”
“…”
The crowd felt infinite hope as they saw Gao Da’s spear pierce through Ye Chu’s body. However, the crowd did not rejoice over this, because they saw the young man’s body shatter and dissipate into starlight.
“An afterimage!” Gao Da’s eyes widened, and his heart shook. His speed was the fastest among the brothers, and he was somewhat famous among emperors for it. Yet the other party had actually dodged in an instant, leaving behind an afterimage. It was so fast that he could hardly comprehend it. Such speed was beyond his understanding.
“Take your positions and block him. We cannot let him escape!” Seeing that Ye Chu’s speed was so strong, Gao Da quickly gave the order, terrified that Ye Chu would flee and leave them unable to get their revenge.
“Rest assured, I will not run. You are not even qualified to make me run!” Ye Chu did not know when he had stood before Gao Da again, looking at the other party with a calm expression.
Without thinking, Gao Da thrust his spear out again. Just as the spear was about to pierce Ye Chu’s throat, Ye Chu’s body suddenly twisted to the side, instantly dodging the spear.
“So fast!” Gao Da’s heart grew even more solemn. He gripped the spear tightly in his hand and nodded to the other five, signalling them to close in and attack together.
The six men attacked simultaneously. Every thrust of their spears carried the sound of tearing air, making it impossible for the cultivators watching below to see clearly. They could only hear the sound of the thrusts.
Seeing the six sect masters attack at the same time, the crowd thought that this time Ye Chu would definitely not be able to dodge or block it. The crowd eagerly anticipated hearing the sound of the spears piercing flesh.
But the anticipated sound did not appear. The six men thrust simultaneously from six directions, yet they still missed. No one knew when, but Ye Chu had actually soared above their heads, looking down at them with cold eyes, his mouth full of mockery.
“Kill!”
The six men’s first strike failed, so they thrust horizontally again. Every thrust was tricky and vicious, making one’s heart go numb.
They attacked at the extreme limit of speed, bringing out their fastest pace. Outsiders watching only felt dazzled, able to see nothing but shadows.
Xiang Chunan climbed up and happened to see this scene. Looking at the speed of the six men, his eyes were full of excitement and adoration. If he had such speed, what kind of golden woodpecker could escape?
But very quickly, his expression changed drastically. These six men were surrounding and attacking Ye Chu. With the six of them being so strong, how could Ye Chu possibly block them?
