The first time he saw the Rain Mist Prince, the prince was standing on the peak of a solitary mountain within the Tan family estate. He was dressed in pure white robes that fluttered in the wind, possessing an extraordinary posture and a transcending temperament, standing there with an elegant bearing.
Just this posture alone had already outshone many people. Tan Chen watched from afar and had to admit that this man had an excellent appearance. However, as a descendant of a sacred land himself, he would not admit defeat in front of him, even though he was currently a notch inferior to the other party.
Among the descendants of the sacred lands, he belonged to the younger generation. Many people were ahead of him, and he fought bravely to catch up, which still required a great deal of tempering.
But Tan Chen was not afraid. On the future path where the strong competed, there would definitely be a place for him. Just as he had been defeated by Ye Chu several times, he still firmly believed that he would one day be able to compete with Ye Chu. This was their inherent pride.
The Rain Mist Prince was also such a person. In his heart, there was only himself, and he felt that all the outstanding talents in the world would merely be his foils in the future. Coming to fight Ye Chu this time, he did not take Ye Chu to heart at all. After all, the other was merely at the Xuan Gu Realm.
Those who could fight him had to be at least at the Xuan Hua Realm. If Ye Chu could reach the same level as him, he would have to take him seriously, because figures who had become outstanding talents could not be underestimated. But the other party was exactly one level lower than him, which destined Ye Chu to a losing outcome.
If it were anyone else, he absolutely would not make a move, as it would lower his status. Wasting his precious time on a Xuan Gu Realm cultivator was simply not worth it. But right now, this was indeed the battle for Tan Miaotong, and he had no choice but to act.
He had only seen Tan Miaotong once, but he was always thinking of that refreshing and captivating woman. The two major sacred lands also shared a connection, so he had asked his clan to propose on his behalf. Both sides had such intentions, but he had not expected Qingmi Mountain to suddenly interfere. This made him somewhat angry, and he developed the intention to kill Ye Chu.
Tan Miaotong was not just someone he liked. More importantly, her physical constitution was of great use to cultivators. No matter which way one looked at it, he had to get Tan Miaotong. He had never lost anything he wanted.
Ye Chu slowly walked towards the mountain peak. Liu Yun and the others signalled for Ye Chu to relax and not to care too much about winning or losing. Ye Chu simply smiled and walked straight up without saying a word to anyone. Looking at the Rain Mist Prince, whose robes fluttered as he appeared carefree and unrestrained, Ye Chu stopped and stood directly in front of him.
The Rain Mist Prince looked at Ye Chu. This person had nothing outstanding about him, and one could even say he was ordinary. But he had also learned that Tan Miaotong and this man had some intimate connection. This made him very uncomfortable. If he were defeated by an outstanding person, he could still accept it, but how could such an ordinary-looking person frustrate him?
The Rain Mist Prince frowned, stared at Ye Chu and said, “I know the Golden Doll of Heartless Peak. Although he is a bit crazy, his temperament is also extraordinary. I just did not expect that Heartless Peak would produce someone like you who looks like he was casually dragged off the street. Fighting you today is truly a joke!”
“If the Golden Doll came, I am afraid you would kneel and beg for mercy. So, to preserve the face of your Rain Mist Sacred Land, they could only send me, the worst disciple of Heartless Peak,” Ye Chu said with a smile as he looked at the other party. “I am just afraid that if I defeat you, your side will not be able to save face.”
The Rain Mist Prince looked at Ye Chu, not even having the mind to exchange pleasantries, and said, “I do not know how you deceived Miaotong, but after today, I will make her stay away from you.”
“How beautifully said!” Ye Chu smiled as he looked at the Rain Mist Prince and said, “But I am sorry to tell you that no matter how our fight goes today, you have already lost!”
“What do you mean?” The Rain Mist Prince frowned, his eyes shooting out a cold light as he stared fixedly at Ye Chu.
“Nothing much!” Ye Chu looked at him and said, “I just want to tell you that you cannot defeat me. Do you believe it or not?”
“I do not see a single possibility of you defeating me!” The Rain Mist Prince also laughed, but his face was full of mockery, as if standing on the opposite side of Ye Chu was an insult in itself.
Ye Chu shrugged and said, “Sometimes judging people by their appearance is a very serious disease. The disease often makes people regret their actions, wishing they could wash their dog eyes thoroughly with a medicinal potion. I believe you will also have such thoughts eventually.”
“Is that so? Perhaps, but at least you will never make me do so!” The Rain Mist Prince looked at Ye Chu and said, “Since we are going to fight, let us end it early. As for you, I really do not have much interest. If it were not for your unreasonable entanglement, you would not even be qualified to catch my glance.”
“Big talk!” Ye Chu laughed and turned his head to look at Tan Long and the crowd.
Tan Long and the others were also not interested in waiting any longer, and it would be best to resolve today’s matter as soon as possible. “We will not discuss the rules. You can use any means necessary. The winner will marry Miaotong. The loser, please leave the Tan family sacred land voluntarily!”
Liu Yun and Yu Shi smiled and nodded, each sitting aside and looking at the two people on the mountain peak, seemingly both having confidence in their respective disciples.
Tan Long was curious. Yu Shi’s confidence could be understood, as the Rain Mist Prince was indeed strong. As an outstanding talent who had mastered many wonderful techniques of the Rain Mist Sacred Land, he was absolutely a terrifying figure.
Yet Ye Chu had not even reached the Xuan Hua Realm, so why did Liu Yun also have such confidence?
He knew the code of conduct of the Floating Life Palace, which was to never give up until the goal was reached. This time it was obvious Ye Chu would lose, so why would Liu Yun still act like this?
Tan Long could not figure it out and no longer thought about these things. His gaze fell on Ye Chu and the Rain Mist Prince. “Two nephews, please proceed.”
Ye Jingyun watched from the side, her palms tightly clenched. The Rain Mist Prince, as a descendant of the sacred land who had reached the Xuan Hua Realm, had obtained an untold amount of the sacred land’s essence. He was absolutely a powerful opponent. Ye Chu might be able to fight ordinary Xuan Hua Realm cultivators, but in front of a monstrous talent like the Rain Mist Prince, it was not worth mentioning.
Ye Jingyun did not hope for Ye Chu to win, only hoping that Ye Chu would not lose too miserably.
“Please proceed!” Ye Chu smiled at the Rain Mist Prince. He naturally knew the terror of the figures cultivated by the full inheritance of a sacred land, but he remained fearless, facing the other party with a natural expression and showing no worry at all.
Seeing Ye Chu standing there, the Rain Mist Prince’s temperament suddenly changed, becoming sharp, and he felt a bit of surprise in his heart. This change in temperament was very hard for him to understand, as a person’s cultivation temperament rarely changed in such a manner.
But this did not make the Rain Mist Prince care too much. After all, against a Xuan Gu Realm cultivator, he had the absolute capital to despise the other party.
“Some things should not be yours. Fighting for them will only accelerate your death!” The Rain Mist Prince said indifferently. “Today I will tell you that for things you should not touch, you had better just watch from afar.”
As he spoke, the Rain Mist Prince’s momentum surged like thunder. The terrifying momentum shook and rushed straight towards the sky. This momentum impacted the clouds, tearing them to pieces with a rumbling shake that made many people’s hearts palpitate with fear and shock, and Ye Chu’s expression also became solemn because of it.
