“Let me do it!”
The not very loud voice echoed around. Even Zhang Su’er and her group stared at Ye Chu in a daze. No one had expected Ye Chu to say such a thing.
Ye Tian was momentarily stunned, but soon smiled at Ye Chu. “I am glad you have this thought, but you are not their opponent. Step aside. Let me go!”
“Liang Shan! Pang Shao! Take him back!” Ye Chu ignored Ye Tian and shouted to Liang Shan and Pang Shao instead.
“Alright!” Pang Shao ran forward excitedly, grabbed Ye Tian’s hand. “This kid rarely wants to fight. Let him go. Why are you trying to be tough!”
Pang Shao was indescribably excited. He had failed to trick Ye Chu into fighting before, but now his revenge could finally be avenged.
“You…” Ye Tian wanted to say more, but Pang Shao interrupted. “You what? Letting him go is much better than you going!”
Pang Shao held onto Ye Tian, afraid Ye Chu would change his mind, and dragged him back.
Watching Ye Chu walk towards the duel arena, the Yao City crowd exchanged incredulous glances. “How does he have the courage to go up?”
The group of girls who had just insulted Ye Chu also widened their eyes, full of surprise in their clear gazes. Even Su Rong and Zhang Su’er could not help showing astonishment.
“Ye Chu?!” Su Zhengping had never thought the one stepping up at this moment would be Ye Chu. He muttered in shock and looked at his colleagues, seeing similar surprise on their faces.
“When did he gain this kind of courage? He has changed a lot in these three years!”
“It is rare. But it is a pity. He has courage but no strength. If only he had Ye Tian’s power!”
“…”
Everyone stared at Ye Chu walking towards the arena with complex expressions. Only Ye Tian was anxious, trying to break free from Liang Shan and Pang Shao. “Quickly bring Ye Chu back! If something happens to him, how can I face my deceased second uncle!”
“Who cares about him? Relax. His life is tougher than anyone’s!” Pang Shao held Ye Tian and said dissatisfiedly.
Ye Tian’s face turned livid with anger. He shouted to Su Rong nearby. “Stop Ye Chu. Do not let him go up!”
Su Rong nodded and quickly chased after, calling out to Ye Chu. “Ye Chu! Come back!”
Ye Chu turned around, still wearing his unrestrained, lazy smile, revealing a few white teeth. “Little Rong Rong, are you not all curious about what I did these three years? Today, I will let you know!”
“Ye Chu, do not be reckless!” Su Rong was furious that he was still in the mood for this, her face flushing red, revealing smooth, tender skin.
Ye Chu ignored Su Rong and turned his gaze to Ye Li. “You have always seen me as a rat dropping, thinking no one in the world is more useless and depraved than me. You believe I stole what should belong to your two genius sons and wish you could kill me. Well, today I will repay you. Saving the life of the son you are proud of should clear the debt of me taking their things, right?”
“Hmph!” Ye Li snorted seeing Ye Chu direct this at him. “Mind yourself. If you have no ability, do not go up to die. Do you think doing this will change how the world sees you?”
Ye Chu smiled. “I never wanted to change anything. Being a scoundrel and trash is pretty good. At least there are no shackles. Unlike Ye Tian, who foolishly goes up knowing he will die.”
“What right do you have to compare with Ye Tian?” Ye Li was enraged. Comparing such a depraved person to Ye Tian was an insult to his son.
Ye Chu shook his head and ignored his anger. He looked at Su Rong blocking him. “Little Rong Rong! Did you not want to know if it was me that night? Then I will tell you. It was me that night!”
“What?! It really was you?” Su Rong had suspected it might be Ye Chu, but confirmation still shocked her. Pointing at him, she was speechless. “You… you…”
Zhang Su’er frowned seeing Su Rong so flustered and asked. “What that night? Su Rong, since he insists on going up, let him. Hmph, if not for Big Brother Ye Tian speaking, who would care about him!”
Ye Chu stepped past the two women and walked towards the arena. Seeing Ye Chu ignore everyone’s attempts to stop him, the Yao City crowd felt uneasy.
Unexpectedly, at the final moment, the scum they had always cursed was stepping up for them.
The Yao City girls looked at the lazy youth on stage and suddenly wondered if they had cursed him too harshly before.
Sha Shan looked at the youth standing before him and could not help laughing. “Hahaha! I heard about you long ago. Yao City’s scum. Haha, you think you can fight me?”
Ye Chu shrugged. “I did not want to originally. But you are too arrogant. My Yao Yao said men should learn humility, so I decided to eliminate you on her behalf!”
“With just you?” Sha Shan found it hilarious. Someone infamous in Yao City for years thought he could face him? He had not heard a funnier joke in years!
“Yes! With just me!” Ye Chu smiled at him. “Make your move. Everyone’s time is precious. I still have to go home and play with mud. Let us make this quick!”
Sha Shan laughed loudly. “Yes! You can only play with mud. I will send you into the mud now!”
With that, Sha Shan kicked out viciously at Ye Chu, fast as wind, a ferocious strike with domineering vigour.
Sha Shan did not want to waste time on such trash, so he aimed to kill in one blow. The kick arrived before Ye Chu in an instant. Ye Chu stood there without dodging.
“Dodge quickly!” Ye Tian could not help shouting, wanting to rush up, but it was too late.
Zhang Su’er and the girls could not bear to watch and closed their eyes. Even Chen Bowen’s bones cracked under one kick. Ye Chu would lose half his life if not die!
Though the Yao crowd disliked Ye Chu, seeing this, they could not help sighing.
The kick landed squarely on Ye Chu’s chest without suspense, but the expected scene did not occur. At some point, Ye Chu’s palm had blocked in front of his chest. Though Sha Shan’s kick was fierce, it caused no ripple on Ye Chu’s palm.
“This is impossible?” Shock surged in Sha Shan’s heart. His strike was terrifying. Even Chen Bowen and Ye Tian dared not block it head-on, yet Ye Chu had!
The Yao crowd was dazed, staring at Ye Chu’s still fair palm, wondering if their eyes were playing tricks.
Zhang Su’er and the girls muttered. “Ye Chu’s palm must have a steel guard, right?”
“Continue!” Ye Chu smiled at Sha Shan. “Your kick was too weak just now. Remember to use more force!”
“I do not believe you are unafraid!” Enraged, Sha Shan kicked again. Like before, Ye Chu blocked with his hand, unmoving.
“Again!” Ye Chu beckoned with his finger, smile still lazy.
“Seeking death!” Sha Shan roared, unleashing a chain of kicks with trails of vigour, incredibly fast. He chained the innate-level Mountain-Splitting Leg.
Watching Sha Shan go berserk, Su Rong and the others tensed, staring fixedly at the arena.
Sha Shan attacked relentlessly, kicks unending, but what made everyone’s minds reel was: Ye Chu stood motionless, blocking the barrage with one hand!
By the end, Sha Shan was panting, bent over to Ye Chu’s side, eyes wide staring at him, face full of horror.
“My turn?” Ye Chu looked at Sha Shan.
Sha Shan stared at Ye Chu’s palm, still fair. “What treasure are you wearing?”
This was what most present thought. Did Ye Chu have a great cultivator’s glove treasure on his hand? But one that made the palm look normal was too miraculous!
Ye Chu did not answer but turned to Pang Shao. “Did you not always want to know how strong I am? Today, I will show you!”
At these words, Pang Shao’s body tensed instantly, eyes fixed unblinking on the arena, utterly excited!
