"Did these two have pig’s head for breakfast? Why are they suddenly snorting like pigs?" Ye Xiu asked Wang Chaoyang, amused by the porcine laughter of the Long Family Head and the ng Family Head.
"They’ve taken their reassurance pills!" Wang Chaoyang adopted the air of a spoiled young master and sneered, "That’s the sound of victory. It’s also your funeral knell."
It dawned on Ye Xiu. "So they’re celebrating my death in advance?"
"You certainly have so self-awareness. However, your calm deanor in the face of death is really irritating ." Wang Chaoyang’s expression darkened. He turned and scolded the Long Family Head and the ng Family Head, "Stop laughing and kill him already."
"Ah, I’m dying of laughter, I can’t help it." Tears were streaming from the Long Family Head’s eyes as he laughed. He looked at Ye Xiu and said, "On the way to the Long Family Manor, ng Haishan and I were genuinely worried. What if you, a frog in a well, had never heard of the Mist Chant Martial eting and the Jiazi Covenant? Wouldn’t the three of us have been walking right into a trap?"
"I never expected... Hahahaha..." The Long Family Head couldn’t help but roar with laughter again. "I never expected the thirteen external families to have actually moved away, leaving only you and two won in the entire Long Family Manor. Tell , shouldn’t I be laughing? Hahahaha..."
He burst out laughing again.
SMACK!
Ye Xiu raised his hand and slapped the Long Family Head across the face. "What are you laughing about? You’re annoying to death!"
"Huh?"
The Long Family Head’s laughter died in his throat. He stared at Ye Xiu in disbelief and stamred, "You... you dare to hit ? It’s just you and two won in this whole manor, and you still dare to hit ?"
Wang Chaoyang and the ng Family Head, ng Haishan, also wore expressions of utter disbelief. They simply couldn’t comprehend where Ye Xiu got the audacity to slap the Long Family Head.
Is he just throwing caution to the wind? Is he trying to get one last thrill by slapping the Long Family Head before he dies?
"I hit you. So what? You going to bite ?" Ye Xiu raised his hand and slapped him again.
"You... you’re courting death!"
Incandescent with fury and humiliation from the slaps, the Long Family Head drew his saber and slashed at Ye Xiu, shouting, "ng Haishan, kill those two won!"
"Yes!" ng Haishan drew his sword, about to strike, only to see Qin Qing charging at him, sword in hand.
As the Long Family Head’s saber descended on Ye Xiu, Chloe appeared like a phantom in front of him, raising her own sword to block the attack.
"This..." The Long Family Head was aghast. He truly hadn’t expected this impossibly beautiful woman, who looked to be barely in her twenties, to be a Martial Artist who could so easily block his strike.
Above the War God realm?
The Long Family Head instantly assessed Chloe’s strength and attacked with his full power, intending to kill her first before finishing Ye Xiu. As he clashed with Chloe, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of Qin Qing fighting ng Haishan to a standstill.
Another one above the War God realm? Holy hell, both of the beauties by Ye Xiu’s side are above the War God realm.
"Don’t get distracted. You’re making this exhausting for ," Chloe reminded him. Ye Xiu didn’t want her to reveal her true power, so she could only feign the strength of a Second Realm War God, an act she found incredibly uncomfortable to maintain.
Ye Xiu paid no attention to their fights. Even if the Long Family Head fought himself to exhaustion, he would never defeat Chloe. As for the battle between Qin Qing and ng Haishan, there was no suspense there either.
Although ng Haishan was a Second Realm War God, he had advanced by practicing the Long Family’s Cultivation Technique. Qin Qing, however, was a different story. She had received Totem Power, allowing her to leap directly from an Eighth Grade Grandmaster to a Second Realm War God. Her advantage was further magnified by the overwhelmingly powerful swordsmanship Ye Xiu had taught her. On top of that, the Heaven-nding Pill had stabilized her new realm and explosively increased power, all while purifying her martial prowess. To cap it all off, Qin Qing’s combat experience was exceptionally rich, as her only sparring partners had been either Ye Xiu or Chloe.
With so many advantages, Qin Qing’s strength was far greater than ng Haishan’s. The only reason she was rely fighting him to a draw was that this was her first battle since her sudden surge in power, and she had not yet learned to perfectly control it. Once Qin Qing grew accustod to her current strength, she would utterly crush ng Haishan.
"I never thought a re doctor like you would have such masters by your side," Wang Chaoyang said, looking at Ye Xiu with disdain.
"Glad to be of amusent," Ye Xiu replied modestly.
Wang Chaoyang loathed Ye Xiu’s composed expression, which was neither servile nor arrogant. He asked, "Do you know about the Mist Chant Martial eting, the Jiazi Covenant, and the three major Judicator Families?"
Heh, I know far more than you... Ye Xiu scoffed inwardly, but said aloud, "I’ve heard a little."
"Since you know, that makes things easier!" Wang Chaoyang laughed, all caution around Ye Xiu gone. "The Mist Chant Martial eting is about to begin. The three major Judicator Families have appointed Yunluo City’s Wang Family as the official sponsor. I am Wang Chaoyang of the Wang Family. And just last night, I brought the Long Family into our sponsorship team as well."
Having said his piece, he waited expectantly for Ye Xiu to look shocked and terrified, ready to shower him with flattery. In his mind, being a sponsor for the Mist Chant Martial eting was the most coveted and powerful position in the world. No one would dare offend them. The prestige of the sponsors had already surpassed even Huang Quan! Ye Xiu, a re doctor, would surely be terrified by the Wang Family’s current power.
"Oh!" Ye Xiu nodded.
Oh?
Wang Chaoyang was stunned.
I was waiting to see you look scared! I was waiting for you to flatter and suck up to ! And you just end it with an ’oh’?
"What I an is, if you dare to oppose and the Long Family, you are opposing the three major Judicator Families," Wang Chaoyang reminded him in a threatening tone. "Since you know about the Mist Chant Martial eting, surely you know how the three major Judicator Families deal with those who dare to oppose the sponsors, right?"
Ye Xiu furrowed his brow and spoke with sincerity, "The Long Family was the culprit behind the plot against ten years ago. They are the murderers who killed my mother and my maternal grandparents. My hatred for the Long Family is irreconcilable. Lord Wang, I have no intention of making an enemy of the Wang Family. I hope you can remove the Long Family from the sponsorship team and stay out of the feud between us."
His words were quite sincere. Ye Xiu truly didn’t want any unnecessary complications on his path to revenge. Even though he could annihilate the Wang Family with a single word, that would still be a waste of breath, wouldn’t it?
"It’s no longer just a simple grievance between you and the Long Family. You’ve offended . You’ve already acted against the Long Family, who are official sponsors. Now, the lives of your entire family are in my hands." Wang Chaoyang completely ignored Ye Xiu’s sincere warning. As a mber of the head sponsor, the Wang Family, for the Mist Chant Martial eting, he was floating on air and looked down on everyone.
"So, Lord Wang, you’re saying that you and the Wang Family insist on getting involved in my grudge with the Long Family?" Ye Xiu asked.
"That’s right!" Wang Chaoyang nodded, then ordered, "Ye Xiu, I command you to have those two won stop fighting imdiately. Then, the three of you will commit suicide right here in front of . Otherwise, I will report your opposition to the sponsors to the three major Judicator Families, and you can watch your entire family be annihilated."
This shaless dog, spurning my goodwill.
The warmth vanished from Ye Xiu’s face. He shot out his left hand, grabbing Wang Chaoyang by the throat. "Wang Chaoyang," he said coldly, "do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"
