Chapter 472: We'll See (Fourth Update)

Jian Fengchi's expression instantly became quite intriguing.

*Tsk.*

If this kid knew that Chu Liuyue was brought here by Mu Qinghe, his expression would surely be spectacular.

He looked toward Chu Liuyue with a beaming smile.

"It seems they don't think much of you."

Chu Liuyue shot him a glance.

This personality of stirring up trouble wherever one goes—he feared the man would never change it in this lifetime.

Chu Liuyue looked at Chen Xiyuan and gave a faint smile

"Since I am able to come, I naturally have the qualifications. There is no need for Young Master Chen to worry about that."

Chen Xiyuan was suddenly stunned, a flash of admiration crossing his eyes.

Previously, his attention had been focused on that man, so he hadn't noticed that the red-clad woman beside him was actually extremely beautiful.

Beside them, Zhao Yunzhi also froze upon seeing Liuyue's appearance.

She prided herself on being a woman of peerless beauty, with countless talented youths falling for her, yet compared to this woman, she instantly seemed much more plain.

She instinctively looked toward Chen Xiyuan and, as expected, saw that his expression was off; his eyes remained fixed on the woman for quite a while without withdrawing.

Her heart felt suddenly stifled, and her expression turned sour.

"Cousin, it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Why don't we just let it go? We'll let them pass; it won't be much longer anyway."

She tugged at Chen Xiyuan's sleeve and spoke while biting her lip, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance, looking quite pitiable.

Only then did Chen Xiyuan snap out of it. Seeing her like this, he immediately felt heartache.

He had liked Zhao Yunzhi for many years, and now that he had finally made a name for himself in the Tianling Empire, he had brought her along.

But they had only just passed the Sky Curtain Realm, and she was already being wronged.

If he truly let it go like this, what kind of man would he be?

He patted her hand.

"Don't worry, your cousin won't let anyone bully you."

Having said that, he suppressed his irritation and looked at the two before him once more.

He had originally intended to mock and ridicule them, but he hadn't expected that these two wouldn't seem to care at all!

The tall man could be excused; he likely possessed some strength.

But that woman...

"Heh, I didn't know that a mere third-stage martial artist had become so arrogant," Chen Xiyuan sneered.

Chu Liuyue sighed inwardly.

Her realm was indeed quite eye-catching in the Tianling Empire.

"I am merely speaking the truth," she said calmly, neither humble nor haughty.

Chen Xiyuan was already full of rage, and since he intended to vent it for Zhao Yunzhi, his tone was naturally not pleasant.

"Oh? Since you say that, why don't you state your name? Once we reach Xiling, we'll see if you are as formidable as you claim!"

Chu Liuyue's eyes flickered slightly.

"Yaochen Kingdom, Chu Liuyue."

She generally did not go looking for trouble with others, but if trouble came knocking on her door, she would not be afraid.

"Yaochen Kingdom? Cousin, I don't think I've ever heard of that name..."

Zhao Yunzhi looked at the woman's peerless face with a hint of jealousy, speaking as if it were unintentional.

Chen Xiyuan let out a mocking laugh.

"Just an insignificant small country, not worth mentioning."

People sent to such places wouldn't have very high status; he had been overthinking it before.

Thinking this way, he became even more unscrupulous.

"I will give you one chance. As long as you are willing to kowtow and apologize, today's matter will be forgotten, and I can let it pass. Otherwise—"

Jian Fengchi burst into laughter as if he had heard a joke.

"Hahaha! What did you say? You want this Young Master to kowtow and apologize?"

Interrupted, Chen Xiyuan felt insulted once again, and the laughter sounded even more grating to his ears.

"What, you're unwilling?"

Chu Liuyue finally couldn't help but let out a soft "tsk."

She had only been away for a little over a year, so how had the disciples of the Lingyun Sect become so arrogant and brainless?

Even the Sect Leader of Lingyun Sect wouldn't dare say such things to Jian Fengchi, yet a mere disciple was climbing onto his head.

Truly, ignorance is bliss!

Jian Fengchi laughed.

"What a coincidence, this Young Master happened to want to say the same thing! But looking at you, it seems you won't do it."

Chen Xiyuan felt that the man before him was utterly unreasonable!

What did he think his status was, to dare speak to him like this!?

"It seems there is no need to continue this negotiation. The strong prevail; let's settle this with our skills!"

With that, Chen Xiyuan leaped forward, flying toward Jian Fengchi!

Early seventh-stage!

He looked to be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old; to reach this level was indeed quite decent.

But in the eyes of Chu Liuyue and Jian Fengchi, it was nothing special.

Chen Xiyuan crossed his hands in front of him, and a mass of yellowish-brown primal force rapidly gathered!

Soon, a massive sphere of primal force appeared before him!

"Earth's Thousandfold Weight!"

With a loud roar, he raised both hands above his head and then violently hurled the sphere forward!

The sphere flew rapidly toward Jian Fengchi!

A heavy pressure surged forward!

The surrounding space seemed to become much heavier!

It felt as if a small mountain were pressing down on Chu Liuyue's shoulders!

The pressure of a seventh-stage martial artist was still somewhat difficult for her current self to bear.

Jian Fengchi lightly waved his sleeve.

That heavy pressure instantly dissipated!

And the sphere came to a halt exactly three steps away from him!

Chen Xiyuan's expression changed.

This man's realm was above his!

Jian Fengchi raised his arm and opened his palm.

Then, he lightly clenched it.

"Go!"

The sphere instantly flew back toward Chen Xiyuan in the opposite direction!

In fact, it moved even faster than when it was sent!

Chen Xiyuan knew something was wrong and immediately retreated!

But the sphere was faster than him, and the distance between them shrank rapidly!

It was as if an invisible hand were pushing it forward, and the pressure upon it was much stronger than before!

Chen Xiyuan felt a tightness in his chest, and even his movements became somewhat sluggish.

His unease grew; he immediately drew the scimitar from his waist and slashed horizontally!

*Screech—Bang!*

The sphere suddenly exploded!

Violent force scattered in all directions!

Chen Xiyuan was very close and could not avoid being caught in the blast!

His chest jolted, and his body flew backward uncontrollably, finally crashing heavily onto the ground!

*Pfft!*

He struggled to clutch his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Cousin!"

Zhao Yunzhi cried out in alarm and rushed over, supporting him with great concern.

"Cousin, are you alright!?"

Blood stained the corner of Chen Xiyuan's mouth, and his face was much paler than before.

"...I... I..."

That strike from the opponent had actually broken his ribs!

Most importantly, he seemed to have sustained internal injuries!

Seeing him in such a state, Zhao Yunzhi was both heartbroken and furious. She couldn't help but turn around and shout angrily

"You have gone too far! For injuring my cousin like this, the Lingyun Sect will definitely not let you off!"

She gritted her teeth and looked at Chu Liuyue.

"Chu Liuyue, is it? Don't get ahead of yourself! Once we reach Xiling, we shall see!"

Chu Liuyue curled her lips into a smile.

"I'll be waiting."
