As the giant fist, condensed with spiritual energy, bore down on him, Ye Wushuang’s brow twitched, and he thrust his palm forward.
The Azure Thunder Palm!
Nine palm prints, compressed to their utmost limit with spiritual energy, instantly overlapped and transformed into a hundred-meter-tall strike, hurtling forth with immense force.
Boom…
The collision of fist and palm resounded throughout the valley, the thunderous noise echoing incessantly. Ye Wushuang’s body retreated slightly, while at that moment, dozens of people landed outside the valley. Chu Qing, lying on the ground, saw the woman at the forefront of the group and his face turned ashen as he uttered, “Xiwan… sister…”
With these words, Chu Qing’s eyes rolled back, and he died on the spot. He had been sustaining himself on a single breath of energy after having his internal organs shattered by Ye Wushuang’s sword energy.
The leading woman, Chu Xiwan, glanced at Chu Qing’s lifeless body, her beautiful eyes now cold and piercing as she fixed her gaze on Ye Wushuang.
“How dare you, Ye Wushuang!”
Chu Xiwan’s voice was icy and clear.
“It’s you who have overstepped,” Ye Wushuang retorted with a cold laugh. “The Lingyun Mountain trial is for newcomers’ assessment. You senior disciples have the audacity to barge in so openly. It seems you truly believe Qingyun Academy belongs to the Chu clan!”
“Naive!” Chu Xiwan dismissed his words coldly. “We’ve been here for nearly ten days, and have you seen any elders from Qingyun Academy intervene?”
“Indeed not…” Ye Wushuang replied with a smile. “But you mustn’t think this situation is advantageous only for you.”
“Oh? Could it be that the prey might turn into the hunter?”
“Not necessarily.”
At this moment, their eyes met, and an undercurrent of killing intent surged between them. Ye Wushuang stood alone at the valley’s entrance, facing dozens of Chu clan warriors, all above the third rank of the Condensation Meridian realm, yet he showed no sign of fear.
Around them, many people had gathered to watch the unfolding drama. This man was truly mad.
“Ye Wushuang!”
At that moment, a shout rang out. With a series of whooshing sounds, three figures appeared beside Ye Wushuang.
“You… you…” Ye Wushuang was taken aback at the sight of the three.
Xiao Yuan grumbled, “I said I’d be your guard. How could I let you face danger alone?”
Qing Chengtian and Wang Xueqi also looked at Ye Wushuang, smiled faintly, and nodded.
Seeing the determination in their eyes, Ye Wushuang was moved. Friends were truly rare in this world.
In the past, as the peerless emperor, he had treated the nine emperors as close friends, but they had grown envious of his brilliance and struck him down with malice.
“Thank you!” Ye Wushuang exhaled, a smile spreading across his face. “Since that’s the case, then the four of us shall… fight side by side today.”
The four figures stood resolute at the valley’s entrance.
Chu Xiwan, witnessing this, let out a cold, mocking laugh. The phrase “a mere insect trying to stop a cart” could not describe Ye Wushuang’s situation more aptly.
“Don’t think your pitiful spirit formation can protect all four of you,” Chu Xiwan sneered. “No matter how powerful it is, a spirit formation has its limits.”
“Why don’t you give it a try?”
As these words left his lips, Chu Xiwan’s delicate hand lifted gracefully.
“Chu Xiwan, do you intend to hog all the glory for yourself?”
At that moment, more whooshing sounds rang out, and several figures approached from the distance. The leader, a tall young man with an understated aura and striking phoenix eyes, caught everyone’s attention.
“Qin Shuhao!”
Chu Xiwan’s brow furrowed at the sight of him. “What brings you here?”
Qin Shuhao smiled, his gaze fixed on Ye Wushuang. “This boy has killed many of my Qin clan members. As far as I know, Qin Cangsheng and Qin Jingyue were also slain by him. What do you think I’m here for?”
In that instant, there was a palpable tension between Qin Shuhao and Chu Xiwan, as if they were on the verge of conflict.
