Chapter 91: Brother!
He didn’t expect to hear that Ye Qing was here as well. It seemed that he was doing great and was making good connections with people, albeit someone was currently chasing after him.
“Is he really your brother?”
“Yes!”
The man frowned and asked. “Both of you are from Nanzhou?”
“Yes!”
The man shook his head and said, “It’s impressive how a small and insignificant place like Nanzhou managed to produce two capable talents, not to mention that both of you even came from the same clan.”
The man turned around to leave.
“Brother Beast, do you know where he is?”
The man stopped in his tracks and said, “My name is Qin Yao. Your brother must be in the Royal-rank battle trial. He’s in danger because Liu Qi is chasing after him. Liu Qi is the younger brother of the Hantian Clan’s Young Clan Leader, Liu Bing…”
The man paused and asked, “Do you know who Liu Bing is?”
Ye Guan shook his head. He turned around and started walking away.
“Do you know the Hantian Clan?” Qin Yao asked once more.
Ye Guan shook his head, but he didn’t turn around to face Qin Yao.
Qin Yao wanted to say something else, but Ye Guan interrupted him. “Don’t tell me who they are!”
Qin Yao was surprised, but he was soon filled with awe and respect for Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was saying that Liu Qi’s family background didn’t matter. He would still go out there and help his brother.
Qin Yao had just witnessed the definition of loyalty.
“I might chicken out if you tell me who they are!” Ye Guan added.
Qin Yao didn’t know what to say.
…
Ye Guan walked out of the Profound Tower and approached the old man.
“I would like to enter the Royal-rank combat trial!”
The old man was stunned. “Royal?”
Ye Guan nodded.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes!”
“The Royal-rank combat trial costs a hundred thousand gold crystals per day!”
Ye Guan gave the old man a storage ring.
The old man took out a wooden slip and handed it over to Ye Guan.
“Crush that wooden slip, and you’ll be teleported to the Royal-rank combat trial.”
Ye Guan nodded and did what he was told. Moments later, a dazzling light engulfed and whisked him away.
…
A black-robed man was leaning against a cliff while staring warily at a few men in the distance. The man was none other than Ye Qing. Ye Qing’s eyes were unwittingly fixed on the white-robed man leading the group.
The white-robed man stared at Ye Qing and chuckled. “I didn’t expect to encounter a Law holder here, and the surprise was made even more pleasant when I discovered that you’re holding onto a Great Earth Law.”
He made a sidelong glance at Ye Qing’s right leg and said, “Oh? You’re charging up your Great Law Force?”
Swoosh!
Ye Qing lashed out with his leg.
Boom!
A massive wave of Great Earth Force emerged from the ground and loomed over the white-robed man.
The white-robed man’s pupils constricted.
He slammed his palm to the ground and yelled, “Earth Shatter!”
Boom!
A loud noise echoed as?both the white-robed man and Ye Qing retreated at the same time. The dust settled, and a massive chasm appeared between the two of them. The chasm was still expanding in all directions at an astonishing speed.
Ye Qing’s eyes narrowed as he glared at the white-robed man. The white-robed man had truly come from the Guanxuan Universe. He was strong, and the ordinary talents of the Zhongtu Divine Continent couldn’t compare to him.
The white-robed man was thrilled, and he cried out in excitement. “Your Great Earth Law is amazing! I’m two cultivation realms above you, but you can actually stand toe-to-toe against me? It really is amazing!”
Ye Qing looked indifferent as he asked, “There is no enmity between us, so why are you trying to kill me?”
The white-robed man chuckled and said, “Indeed, there is no enmity between us, but I have taken a fancy to your Great Earth Law! Such a divine power should only belong to those capable enough of wielding it to its limits!”
Ye Qing glared at the white-robed man.
The white-robed man laughed and said, “I know that you have a Dao Protector, but it’s a pity that we’re in the Profound Tower of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
”If anyone beyond the cultivation base threshold makes a move, a powerhouse of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion will mobilize?to suppress them.
”You will also be blacklisted from the Profound World. In other words, your Dao Protector won’t dare to help you!”
Ye Qing was silent.
The white-robed man was right. Ye Qing didn’t dare to ask his master to make a move in the Profound Tower. After all, the Profound Tower belonged to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion!
His master making a move was equivalent to breaking the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s rules. Ye Qing reckoned that the Immortal Treasures Pavilion wouldn’t just stand idly by and allow him to break the rules.
Was he willing to make an enemy out of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion?
Ye Qing shook his head. No!
A man was standing next to the white-robed man. He laughed and said, “Brother Liu, why are you wasting your breath on him? His family background is basically nonexistent. You don’t have to think twice about killing him.”
The man raised his longsword to attack.
Liu Qi stretched his hand out to stop the longsword-wielding man.
The longsword-wielding man turned to look at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi smiled and said, “He managed to cultivate a Great Earth Law, so he’s not an ordinary talent. I’m sure he has an ultimate move, so we must gang up on him to minimize?casualties and injuries on our side.”
Gang up on him? The longsword-wielding man froze. He chuckled awkwardly and asked, “Is that really okay?”
Liu Qi chuckled and replied, “Why would we fight him alone if we can beat him together?”
The longsword-wielding man boisterously laughed.
Liu Qi glared at Ye Qing and yelled, “Kill him!”
The six of them rushed toward Ye Qing.
Ye Qing’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately crouched down. He grabbed the ground with his right hand and hurled it upward.
Boom!
The ground flew up and loomed over Liu Qi and his group.
Liu Qi abruptly vanished and reappeared in front of the massive wave of earth. He clenched his fist tightly and sent a punch toward the wave.
Shwaaa!
A terrifying conflagration struck the wave of earth.
Boom!
The ground melted, revealing Ye Qing’s figure rushing toward Liu Qi.
Ye Qing’s fist emitted a dazzling yellow glow; it was full of Great Earth Force!
Boom!
Ye Qing and Liu Qi’s fists collided, and the resulting collision sent the two flying.
The longsword-wielding man took advantage of the opening to rush toward Ye Qing and slash out.
A ferocious light flashed in Ye Qing’s eyes. He put his hands together and stomped his right foot on the ground upon landing.
Boom!
The ground split open, and a golden light flew toward the longsword-wielding man.
“Ah!” The longsword-wielding was blasted away, but a black-robed man appeared behind Ye Qing and sent a punch flying toward Ye Qing’s head.
Ye Qing hurriedly turned around and punched the black-robed man’s fist.
Boom!
The black-robed man was sent flying upon impact.
Meanwhile, Liu Qi was already in front of Ye Qing!
Boom!
A loud noise echoed as Ye Qing forcefully withstood Liu Qi’s fist. Unfortunately, the impact still sent him flying more than three meters?away. He twisted in mid-air and landed gracefully, but blood trickled from the corner of his lips.
Liu Qi jeered, “You’re pretty remarkable. If I were alone, I wouldn’t be sure that I could beat you even though my cultivation base is two realms above you.
”It’s a pity that we’re in an era where connections are everything. We outnumber you, so victory will still belong to me. Hahahaha!”
Liu Qi smiled sinisterly and roared, “Kill him!”
Liu Qi made a beeline for Ye Qing, and the rest followed closely behind him.
Ye Qing swept his gaze across Liu Qi and the rest before putting his hands together.
A faint azure light appeared on his glabella.
“No, you have just gotten the Heavenly Thunder Law! You still haven’t grasped it. If you activate it right now, the battle will end in mutual destruction. You’ll suffer severe injuries even if you end up winning.”
Ye Qing’s face darkened. “I have no choice but to do this, Master!”
The faint azure light intensified, but a change suddenly occurred on the battlefield.
Swoosh!
A ray of cold light flew toward Liu Qi.
Liu Qi’s face changed. A golden light burst out of him, and it quickly took on the shape of a golden armor.
Unfortunately, Liu Qi reacted a bit too late.
Slice!
The golden armor?didn’t manage to protect Liu Qi’s neck in time.
The ray of cold light lacerated Liu Qi’s throat, and the latter crumpled to the ground.
The sudden change made everyone come to a halt.
A blurry figure appeared in front of the longsword-wielding man. The longsword-wielding man’s expression changed, but a ray of cold light pierced his forehead before he could even react.
Shwik!
The longsword-wielding man’s eyes widened before he collapsed to the ground.
Ye Qing finally identified the blurry figure.
He quickly recovered from the shock and shouted, “Brother Ye Guan!”
“Kill them!” replied Ye Guan.
With that, he charged toward the other cultivators.
Ye Qing followed closely behind him.
The faces of the remaining cultivators turned hideous. They wanted to escape, but Ye Guan’s sword was too fast for them to outrun.
Slice!
A glimmer of sword light was captured in a man’s eyes before his world spun. Ye Guan had chopped his head off in the proverbial blink of an eye.
The remaining cultivators grimaced.
One of them shouted, “Fuck! I’m a member of the Shangxiao Clan. My father is the Grand Elder of the Shangxiao Clan. My father will definitely not let you off if you kill me because I’m his only son. Killing me means cutting off his legacy!”
The man’s sentence wasn’t that long, but by the time he was done speaking, the remaining cultivators had already died, aside from Liu Qi, who was still breathing.
Ye Guan rushed toward the man and pointed his sword at the latter.
The man’s face went beyond pallid.
His voice trembled as he pleaded, “Please! There’s a misunderstanding here!”
Ye Guan asked, “Is the Shangxiao Clan a very powerful clan?”
“Yes!” the man replied almost immediately.
Ye Guan nodded. He pointed at Liu Qi and said, “Finish him off.”
The man was astonished. He recovered moments later and stammered, “I-I don’t think that’s… a great idea.”
The man wasn’t dumb. Ye Guan was obviously trying to use him as a scapegoat by making him end Liu Qi’s life.
Ye Guan remained calm. “You either finish him off, or I’ll do it myself and kill you as well.”
The man’s expression stiffened.
“I’ll give you three seconds to decide. One—”
The man abruptly rushed toward Liu Qi and punched the latter’s throat.
Liu Qi’s eyes shot wide open. He couldn’t believe that he died such a vain death.
The man silently sat on the ground. The Profound Tower belonged to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, so there was no way he could hide how he had personally ended Liu Qi’s life.
Ye Guan walked up to him and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Lin Qian!”
“Now, we’re in the same boat!”
Lin Qian didn’t know what to say.
Ye Guan sounded serious as he said, “Don’t be afraid. So what if they take revenge on you? You have a powerful backer to back you up, anyway, right?”
Lin Qian was at a loss for words.
