“Slap!”
Ye Qiu slapped the youth across the face. Immediately, the youth was sent flying and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone could clearly see that mixed in the blood were two teeth.
In an instant, the entire scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
No one had expected that Ye Qiu would really dare to hit the youth. After all, this was the young master of the Beast Emperor Sect, and his grandfather was a saint-level powerhouse!
Lin Daniao glanced at Ye Qiu, feeling a warm surge in his heart, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Ye Qiu looked at the youth and said coldly, “If you dare to be so arrogant again in the future, I’ll take your wretched life.”
The youth climbed up from the ground, glaring at Ye Qiu with eyes full of venom, almost spitting fire. He roared, “You dare hit me? I won’t let you get away with this.”
“You just wait.”
“When my brother arrives, he’ll tear you to pieces.”
He was the young master of the Beast Emperor Sect. From the moment he was born, he had been high above others.
His grandfather was a saint-level powerhouse, his father was the sect master of the Beast Emperor Sect, and his brother was a peerless genius. With such a background, who would dare provoke him normally?
But today, in front of everyone, he had been slapped. It was an utter humiliation.
Wu Lü’s face turned red with anger. His youthful face showed a ferocity beyond his years, as if he wanted to swallow Ye Qiu alive.
Ye Qiu was completely unafraid of the threat. He said, “In my life, I despise people like you the most.”
“You have no ability yourself, yet you rely on your background to act arrogantly and cause trouble everywhere.”
“If not for considering your young age, I would have killed you just now.”
“Kid, listen to my advice. You’d better restrain yourself in the future, or you might not even know how you die.”
Wu Lü cursed, “Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to lecture me?”
“You just wait.”
“My brother is about to arrive…”
Before he could finish speaking.
“Roar…”
Suddenly, a dragon’s cry echoed across thousands of miles.
This dragon’s cry was majestic and resounding, rolling on endlessly, startling some spirit beasts and the mounts of cultivators present, causing them to whinny restlessly.
Immediately after, a second dragon’s cry sounded, then a third, a fourth…
After four dragon cries, a terrifying aura pressed down.
Looking towards the sound, they saw a war chariot approaching through the air.
The chariot was engraved with densely packed beast heads, their bloodthirsty mouths open wide, looking ferocious and making one’s scalp tingle.
Pulling the chariot were four flood dragons.
Each flood dragon’s body was about ten zhang long. They roared in the air, emitting bursts of dragon cries. The scene was horrifying, frightening some cultivators to retreat quickly.
Ye Qiu looked up and saw a young man sitting inside the chariot.
This man had hair like a black waterfall, a face sharp as if carved by a knife, eyes closed, exuding an aura of absolute dominance over the world.
“Another genius has arrived!”
Just then, exclamations came from the crowd nearby.
“I recognize him. He’s Wu You from the Beast Emperor Sect!”
“What? He’s Wu You?”
“Did you see those four flood dragons? They’re all at the peak of the Cave Heaven realm. Rumour has it Wu You captured them single-handedly.”
“Is Wu You that powerful?”
“Of course. They say Wu You’s strength is exceptional. Even the saint sons of top sects might not be his match.”
“That guy hit Wu You’s younger brother. I’m afraid he won’t live long.”
“…”
“Brother!”
Wu Lü shouted towards the sky.
In an instant, the flood dragons stopped, and the man in the chariot opened his eyes. He looked down at Wu Lü, a gentle smile appearing on his face. He said, “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me? Why did you come here on your own?”
“Huh? What’s wrong with your face?”
Wu You saw the palm print on his brother’s face. His smile vanished instantly, and he asked seriously.
“I was hit by someone.” Wu Lü pointed at Ye Qiu and said, “It was him who hit me.”
“Not only did he hit me, but he also insulted our Beast Emperor Sect.”
“He said our Beast Emperor Sect is full of good-for-nothings, and that you, brother, are a bastard born of a father but no mother, a waste. He boasted that he would destroy our Beast Emperor Sect sooner or later.”
Everyone present was stunned.
They never expected that Wu Lü, at such a young age, was not only arrogant but also a blatant liar.
Wu You’s gaze fell on Ye Qiu. He said gravely, “Did you really say that?”
Ye Qiu showed no fear at all. He said, “I didn’t say it. Do you believe me?”
“I don’t believe you.” Wu You said, “My brother is just a child. He’s well-behaved and would never lie to me.”
Ye Qiu said, “Since you don’t believe me, why bother asking?”
Wu You sneered, “Daring to speak to me like that? You’ve got some nerve! Do you know who I am?”
Ye Qiu shrugged. “Who you are has nothing to do with me.”
“How can it have nothing to do with me? You hit my brother, so it has everything to do with me.” After speaking, Wu You stood up.
Suddenly, a thick pressure emanated from him. The air seemed to solidify, and the terrifying momentum pressed down like a mountain.
Seeing this, many people hurriedly retreated.
Anyone could tell that Wu You was about to make a move against Ye Qiu.
However, Ye Qiu stood his ground, ignoring Wu You’s pressure, remaining unmoved.
“I’ll give you two choices.”
Wu You said, “Either let my brother beat you until he’s satisfied, whether you live or die.”
“Or, I’ll send you on your way.”
“You choose one!”
Wu Lü made a throat-slitting gesture at Ye Qiu, his expression full of smugness, as if saying, “Bastard, this is what you get for offending me.”
Wu You added, “I have limited patience. Two choices, which one do you pick?”
Ye Qiu said, “I don’t want to choose either.”
“Hmm?” Wu You’s eyes narrowed. “Then what do you want to choose?”
Ye Qiu said, “I choose the third one: send you brothers on your way.”
Boom!
As soon as Ye Qiu said this, the entire crowd was in an uproar.
“What does he think he’s doing? He wants to kill Wu You? This kid must be crazy!”
“He’s only at the peak of the Golden Core realm. How could he possibly be a match for Wu You?”
“Such arrogant words, he doesn’t know his place.”
“I thought Wu Lü was arrogant, but this kid is even more so.”
“Good grief, daring to say such things. I respect him as a real man!”
“…”
After hearing Ye Qiu’s words, everyone chattered endlessly. Almost all thought that Ye Qiu was boasting.
Who was Wu You?
He was the peerless genius of the Beast Emperor Sect, with cultivation at the peak of the Cave Heaven realm. His grandfather was a saint, his father the sect master. With such strength and background, who would dare disregard him?
“Could this kid have a background too?”
People couldn’t help but speculate about Ye Qiu’s identity. Asking around, they found no one nearby knew him.
“It seems this kid is just a nameless braggart.”
“He’s really courting death!”
“Daring to say such things to people from the Beast Emperor Sect, he’s doomed!”
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Qiu’s words, Wu You’s eyes instantly became sharp as blades.
Immediately after, a thick killing intent emanated from him.
