Ye Wushuang watched as Chu Yuntian’s fleeing figure disappeared into the distance, but he did not make a move to pursue.
“Quick, go after him! He’s running away!”
Qing Shiyu urged again.
“Don’t chase him,” Ye Wushuang calmly said, “He might still have those black beads on him. If he detonates them, we won’t be able to withstand the explosion.”
“The Chu clan’s Eryuan Thunder Pearls are indeed capable of killing someone at the Ningshou stage…” Qing Shiyu’s face showed a hint of apprehension as she continued, “But now that Chu Yuntian has escaped, he will surely seek revenge on us in the future. I’m not worried about myself, but you…”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “If he dares to come, I will kill him.”
“This time, it was the formation that helped us. Next time, it will be the sword in my hand!”
If it had been earlier, when Qing Shiyu first met Ye Wushuang, she would have thought his words were mere boasting. After all, Chu Yuntian was at the fifth level of the Ningshou stage, while Ye Wushuang had only just reached the seventh level of the Lianti stage. But now, Qing Shiyu felt that Ye Wushuang… might actually be capable of it. This guy always seemed to surprise people.
The battle inside the grand hall continued, with the others lacking the Eryuan Thunder Pearls to save their lives. They were now dying one by one, torn apart by the fierce beasts conjured by the formation. In no time, the entire hall was filled with a pungent smell of blood. Dozens of corpses of Ningshou-stage experts lay scattered, with severed limbs and a scene of utter devastation.
Qing Shiyu and Wang Xueqi stood beside Ye Wushuang, as if in a dream, unable to believe what had just happened.
“Let’s go!”
As Ye Wushuang spoke, he gathered runes in his palm and attached them to the two statues. The statues shrank from a hundred feet tall to the size of a palm, floating in Ye Wushuang’s hand. These two statues were, in fact, puppets. Ye Wushuang had realized this as soon as he entered the hall.
The reason he dared to come here and stay was that he had hoped Chu Yunsheng would bring reinforcements. He had planned to use the statues and the formation to kill Chu Yunsheng. Fortunately, Chu Yunsheng had indeed returned with help. It was just a pity that only one Yuanfu-stage powerhouse had come. If more had arrived and been killed, it would have been even more satisfying.
Qing Shiyu watched as the two statues shrank and landed in Ye Wushuang’s hand. She couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, “Ye Wushuang, are these two Tian’gang-stage puppets?”
“I’ve heard that in the old Qingyun Empire, only Li Yunmo could create Tian’gang-stage puppets. This is the first time I’ve ever seen one.”
Only Li Yunmo?
Ye Wushuang was momentarily speechless. Li Yunmo’s puppetry skills had been taught by Ye Wentian, his ninth Yuan Shen from the past.
Ye Wushuang casually said, “These two statues merely combine with the spirit formation here to unleash Tian’gang-stage power. They are probably only at the Yuanfu stage by themselves.”
“Only?”
Qing Shiyu rolled her eyes. What did he mean by “only”? Even if they only unleashed Yuanfu-stage power, that was still incredibly strong.
With his sword in hand, Ye Wushuang led the two women out of the hall, step by step. After leaving the ruins and arriving at the valley, he approached the entrance and placed his hand on the sword mark carved there. Suddenly, the entire passage began to rumble with an earth-shattering roar.
“What are you doing?” Qing Shiyu asked curiously.
“Destroying this place,” Ye Wushuang murmured, looking at the entrance. “This is where those two rest in peace. Once it’s destroyed, no one will disturb them again.”
Seeing the somber expression on Ye Wushuang’s face, Qing Shiyu and Wang Xueqi remained silent.
The rumbling continued for a while before Ye Wushuang finally exhaled, a smile appearing on his face as he looked at the two women and said, “I plan to stay in the Liu Yue Mountains for a few more days. What about you two?”
