Chapter 709: Chapter 709: One Man Against the Fury of Many
"Not bad. Three Sixth Realm Peak fighters teaming up can actually exhibit the battle strength of an early-stage Seventh Realm expert."
Ye Xiu fought while chattering away, appearing quite at ease.
On the other hand, Ye Daoxuan, Mo Qingdi, and Tang Buyi were giving it their all, yet they still couldn’t lay a finger on Ye Xiu. The more they fought, the more alarmed they became. Their combined efforts only managed to match him evenly.
What kind of monster has the Ye Family produced? He’s too much of an anomaly!
Ye Daoxuan bluffed, "Ye Xiu, don’t be so arrogant. In fact, all three of us were originally Seventh Realm War Gods. Although years of absorbing Poisonous Spiritual Energy have left our bodies battered and our foundations unstable, causing our cultivation to fall to the Sixth Realm Peak, we can still forcibly wield the power of the Seventh Realm."
Mo Qingdi said contemptuously, "Ye Xiu, I advise you to stop immediately. If this continues, we’ll have to go all out, and you will surely die."
Tang Buyi threatened, "If you obediently concoct the Return to Origin Pills for us, we can spare your life. Otherwise, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death."
The three of them truly didn’t want to fight anymore. Even another year of conflict would be meaningless, so their only option was to try and fool Ye Xiu.
"I’ve had enough of fighting as well," Ye Xiu said. "In that case, let’s end this!"
The words had barely left his mouth when his attack speed suddenly exploded, increasing more than tenfold. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP—three kicks landed on the chests of Ye Daoxuan, Mo Qingdi, and Tang Buyi almost simultaneously.
The three were sent flying like shells for dozens of meters, rolling for another hundred after hitting the ground. They only stopped when they reached the edge of the sea.
"Pfft—"
All three coughed up a mouthful of blood in unison.
This scene made the onlooking Qiuchanyi’s heart flutter. So, Ye Xiu is this powerful? He even easily defeated the formidable trio. Isn’t this the kind of strong man I’ve always admired? Ye Xiu is simply my ideal husband!
Meanwhile, Ye Daoxuan, Mo Qingdi, and Tang Buyi shakily got to their feet, staring in shock at the approaching Ye Xiu.
"It turns out... he was just playing with us all along. He never used his full strength."
"What kind of power is this? I didn’t even see how he moved before I was sent flying."
"I’m afraid it would take the strength of a mid-Seventh Realm expert or higher to do that."
Realizing Ye Xiu had been toying with them, the three men were so incensed that they spat out another mouthful of blood. They were old-timers, famous for decades, yet they had been played by a twenty-six-year-old kid. This was especially true for Ye Daoxuan, who had been fooled and beaten by his own great-grandson.
However, once they properly gauged Ye Xiu’s strength, they began to panic.
Ye Xiu possessed the power to kill them in an instant. In other words, their lives were now completely in his hands.
"I was planning to play with you a little longer, but you were the ones who told me to stop," Ye Xiu said teasingly as he walked over.
When I said ’stop,’ I meant for us to stop fighting so you could surrender to me, not for you to beat us up! Ye Daoxuan roared inwardly, but he asked aloud, "How do you plan to deal with us?"
The hearts of Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi leaped into their throats. The older one gets, the more one fears death. To die like this, after sixty years of secluded cultivation and before they could even show the Judicator Families what they were made of, was simply unacceptable.
"I’ve long known Ye Daoxuan was ruthless and treacherous, but you two..." Ye Xiu’s gaze fell upon Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi as he said coldly, "I had already agreed to concoct the Return to Origin Pills for you, yet you still joined forces with Ye Daoxuan to plot against me. You’re even more despicable than he is."
Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi bowed their heads, thoroughly ashamed. They had only cooperated with Ye Daoxuan’s scheme because they wanted to acquire more Return to Origin Pills to cure those thirty lovable old-timers.
"What exactly do you want?" Ye Daoxuan asked impatiently.
"Are you in such a hurry to die?" Ye Xiu asked coldly.
Ye Daoxuan fell silent.
Seeing him at a loss for words, Ye Xiu asked, "I can spare your lives, but can you guarantee that you won’t oppose me in the future?"
To be perfectly honest, if this were the past, these three would have been dead already. But the pressure from the three major Judicator Families is immense. These three men are powerful, and they also hold a grudge against the Judicator Families. It would be a waste to kill them. It’s better to let them wear down the forces of the Judicator Families and the Eternal Kingdom.
"We had no previous grudges between us. We were the ones at fault first. If you let us go, we will remember this kindness," Mo Qingdi said sincerely.
Tang Buyi said in a deep voice, "I secluded myself in that forsaken place, Seven Killings Valley, for sixty years for the sole purpose of eradicating the three major Judicator Families. I cannot accept dying by your hand. Let me perish in battle on Eternal Island instead."
These two don’t seem to be lying.
Ye Xiu turned his gaze to Ye Daoxuan.
The latter quickly said, "We are family, after all. Now that I know how strong you are, I’m counting on you to bring glory to the Ye Family. Naturally, I will not oppose you in the future."
Heh, as if I’d believe that! Ye Xiu knew Ye Daoxuan was spouting nonsense, but he couldn’t be sure if the old man would continue to be his enemy.
"Since that’s the case, you may leave," Ye Xiu said.
Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi hurriedly expressed their thanks. Ye Daoxuan also offered a perfunctory word of gratitude before the three of them departed, supporting one another.
After they left ’At One With the Water’, Ye Daoxuan said viciously, "I can’t swallow this insult."
"What mischief are you planning now?" Mo Qingdi asked.
"We are poisoned, near death, and our cultivation realms keep falling. Only Return to Origin Pills can save us," Ye Daoxuan said, his eyes narrowing to slits and flickering with a cold light. "We aren’t the only ones poisoned; many others are as well. If we tell everyone who is poisoned that Ye Xiu can provide the cure, we can then rally all of them. Once we lead them back here, he won’t be able to withstand the collective fury and will have no choice but to refine the pills for us."
Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi looked at Ye Daoxuan as if he were an idiot.
Mo Qingdi said, "Ye Daoxuan, if I had a great-grandson like Ye Xiu, I would gladly die right now without a single complaint. You not only fail to appreciate your good fortune, but you also keep scheming against him."
Tang Buyi added, "Let me remind you, Ye Daoxuan, only you and Ye Xiu are left in the Ye Family. If he comes to harm because of you, the Ye Family’s line will end."
Seeing Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi actually taking Ye Xiu’s side, Ye Daoxuan suddenly felt as if he had been slapped in the face. He had been hoping to coax them into joining another one of his schemes, but instead, he found himself completely isolated.
"I can’t swallow this insult!" Ye Daoxuan said through gritted teeth. "The disciples I painstakingly nurtured for sixty years were all killed by Ye Xiu! I rented gifts worth over four million, and now I can’t even get them back. I must have my revenge!"
Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi suddenly felt a strong dislike for Ye Daoxuan. They had known each other for seventy or eighty years, yet only today did they realize what kind of person he truly was.
They were about to stop Ye Daoxuan from causing more trouble for Ye Xiu.
At that moment, a chilling voice came from behind them.
"Ye Daoxuan, do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?"
WHOOSH!
Supporting one another, Ye Daoxuan and the other two stopped dead in their tracks as if electrocuted and spun around. All they saw was Ye Xiu, who had been following them the whole time.
In that instant, a massive "FUCK" was all that echoed in Ye Daoxuan’s mind.
