1269: Chapter 1262: Why Insist on Courting Death?
The Shui family, being a Fourth-Rank Sect, held imnse influence.
On the other hand, Zhu Mingqian was rely the son of an elder from the Refining Sect.
Due to his ineptitude in artifact refining, he was unqualified to even join the sect.
Frankly speaking, Zhu Mingqian couldn’t afford to offend the Shuis.
However, if he could manage to take advantage of Shui Ziyan in this secluded forest, who would ever find out?
Given Shui Ziyan’s beauty, Zhu Mingqian felt it was worth the risk.
“What a powerful Shui family!
If I take care of Miss Shui today, who knows, I might beco their live-in son-in-law and never have to worry about food or money for the rest of my life.” Zhu Mingqian sneered disdainfully.
“You—” Yang Qingshan had not expected his threats to be completely ineffective.
Glancing at Zhu Mingqian, who was at the Initial Stage of the Second Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm, and Hua Zhao, who was at the Initial Stage of the First Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm, his expression darkened significantly.
He was desperately contemplating how to ensure Shui Ziyan’s safe escape.
Out of the corner of his eye, Yang Qingshan noticed Ye Chenfeng.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng remain utterly indifferent in such a critical situation, Yang Qingshan concluded that the man’s arrogance was sheer stupidity.
Naturally, he couldn’t believe that a re Spirit Communication Realm brat like Ye Chenfeng would have so hidden ace to save himself.
Right now, he deeply regretted bringing Shui Ziyan to seek help from soone as ridiculously foolish as Ye Chenfeng.
Shui Ziyan, feeling disgusted by Zhu Mingqian’s lecherous gaze, burned with fury.
The idea that this pig-like man dared harbor improper thoughts about her was revolting.
But she was well aware of the unfavorable situation they were in.
Adding to her irritation, Ye Chenfeng continued to act as if nothing was happening.
She silently fud, “Can this guy really be so idiotic?
Does he even realize he’s at death’s door?
Why is he still pretending to be so relaxed?”
“What exactly are you two planning to do?” Shui Ziyan’s queenly aura radiated as she glared at Zhu Mingqian, her beautiful eyes full of intent.
Zhu Mingqian chuckled.
“Miss Shui, what a fiery temper!
But I like it hot—it’s just more exciting for .”
He then issued another command.
“Hua Zhao, take down the old geezer and Miss Shui for .
The others are just nobodies.” Clearly, Zhu Mingqian didn’t see any of the Spirit Communication Realm group, including Ye Chenfeng, as a threat worth considering.
Upon receiving Zhu Mingqian’s order, Hua Zhao imdiately stomped forward heavily, causing the ground beneath his feet to sink an inch.
A formidable and overwhelming aura emanated from him.
Yang Qingshan, standing beside Shui Ziyan, paled and whispered, “Miss, I’ll buy you so ti.
Escape from this forest as fast as you can.”
Seeing Shui Ziyan hesitate, Yang Qingshan fervently stressed again, “Miss, if we both stay here, we’ll both die today.
Do you want to be humiliated by that fat pig?”
Hearing Yang Qingshan put it so bluntly, Shui Ziyan took several deep breaths.
She knew he was right—only by safely escaping could she seek revenge on that fat pig in the future.
As for Ye Chenfeng and He Ping, who were sitting on a stone not far away, since Zhu Mingqian didn’t take them seriously, they reciprocated by not taking Zhu Mingqian seriously either.
“Boss, that fat pig’s delusions are way off the charts, huh?
He acts like we’re just ants he can squash at any mont.” Huang Chongyi sneered, glancing at Little Bai nestled in Ye Chenfeng’s arms.
Just as Huang Chongyi finished speaking, Yang Qingshan unleashed his full power.
He rushed toward Hua Zhao, his hands rapidly executing a combat skill: “Blazing Wasteland Palm!”
Countless fiery red palm imprints ford and layered continuously, eventually creating a massive red hand over one ter tall.
As the hand swept forward, the grass on the ground instantly burned to ash.
This “Blazing Wasteland Palm” was a Middle Grade Profound Level combat skill and the best technique Yang Qingshan had mastered.
Earlier, when he used it against Wu Changnan and Zhou Haifu, he hadn’t been able to unleash its full potential.
But now, this was his desperate, all-out effort.
Watching Yang Qingshan unleash the “Blazing Wasteland Palm,” Hua Zhao’s face displayed nothing but contempt.
With a sharp shake of his right arm, bulging veins surfaced along it.
His entire right arm was quickly encased in a layer of frost, and a piercing chill emanated from it.
Hua Zhao clenched his frosted fist and launched a direct punch: “Frost Dragon Fist!”
The frost on Hua Zhao’s arm intensified, and a vague white dragon shadow erged from his arm, tearing through Yang Qingshan’s fiery red palm and ramming into Yang Qingshan himself.
“Crack!
Crack!
Crack!”
Yang Qingshan’s body was instantly frozen solid, leaving only his head exposed above the ice.
Yang Qingshan struggled to break free but, as soone at the Peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm, he stood no chance against Hua Zhao, who was at the Initial Stage of the First Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm.
Furthermore, Hua Zhao’s “Frost Dragon Fist” was a High Grade Profound Level combat skill, which he had discovered by chance in a mountain cave.
In terms of both raw power and skill sophistication, Hua Zhao completely outclassed Yang Qingshan, making it utterly unsurprising that Yang Qingshan was defeated in an instant.
Shui Ziyan had initially intended to take this opportunity to escape, but upon seeing Yang Qingshan’s rapid defeat, she froze in shock for two seconds.
Realizing there was no way for her to flee now, her face filled with despair.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng continuing to sit idly on a rock nearby, she fully concluded he was a hopeless fool.
The shopkeeper of the Divine Artifact Pavilion, Zhu Mingqian, grew even bolder in his gaze toward Shui Ziyan after witnessing Yang Qingshan’s freezing.
He instructed Hua Zhao, “Keep an eye on Miss Shui for ; I’ll handle those Spirit Communication Realm brats myself.”
Hua Zhao, confident in Zhu Mingqian’s ability to handle those “ants” with his Ocean Gathering Realm strength, didn’t object but instead fixed his gaze firmly on Shui Ziyan.
Lying on the ground and completely defeated, Wu Changnan sneered when he saw Zhu Mingqian moving toward Ye Chenfeng.
“Kid, you’re all dead.
No miracles are coming your way.”
Ye Chenfeng ignored Wu Changnan’s taunts as if they were aningless drivel, continuing to stroke Little Bai’s head while calmly watching Zhu Mingqian approach step by step.
Stopping ten ters away from Ye Chenfeng, Zhu Mingqian barked, “Kid, hand over what you stole from my Divine Artifact Pavilion!”
Then, shaking his head with a dismissive laugh, he added, “On second thought, forget it.
I’ll just kill you all and retrieve the goods from your corpses.”
As Zhu Mingqian prepared to strike, the immobilized Yang Qingshan could only move his head.
He muttered bitterly, “That kid is dead for sure.
Damn it!
He got the Miss and dragged into this!”
Under Hua Zhao’s watchful gaze, Shui Ziyan shook her head and sighed resignedly.
“Sigh, geniuses who don’t know how to stay low before maturing are dood to die early.
When the ti cos, I’ll go down fighting rather than surrender.”
Sitting on the rock, observing the arrogant Zhu Mingqian, Ye Chenfeng suddenly smirked coldly.
“Why do you all insist on throwing your lives away?
If that’s what you want, then I’ll grant your wish.”
Ye Chenfeng patted Little Bai on the back.
“Little Bai, it’s ti for you to stretch your limbs.”
Everyone present stared at Ye Chenfeng in confusion.
Especially Zhu Mingqian, who was just about to make his move.
He scoffed with disdain, “Kid, are you out of your mind?
Are you seriously thinking that a little kitten can kill ?
You must be—”
His words abruptly halted as Little Bai leapt from Ye Chenfeng’s arms, instantly transforming into its original gargantuan form.
A terrifying aura, matching the Peak of the Second Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm, poured out from Little Bai.
Its cold, mocking eyes locked onto Zhu Mingqian below.
With rely a casual step, Little Bai could crush him to death.
Zhu Mingqian’s arrogant expression froze instantly.
Staring at the enormous beast before him and feeling its oppressive aura, he was utterly petrified.
His entire body began trembling uncontrollably as a wet stain spread down his pants, and he collapsed into a heap on the ground.
