At that moment, Liu Yiyu’s eyes widened in astonishment as he gazed at Ye Wushuang, and he let out a cold snort, “I never expected that you would know about the Blood Maple Flame Tree!”
“It seems that the downfall of the Ye Clan years ago, which suddenly took a turn with your generation, was not a mere coincidence.”
Liu Yiyu, as the current prodigy of the Liu Clan, held an extremely high status. His father was none other than Liu Zhengyuan, the younger brother of the current Liu Clan leader, Liu Zhengzong, and the second master of the Liu family. Liu Yiyu had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, possessing extraordinary talent and receiving the finest education. In fact, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he was destined to become the next leader of the Liu Clan.
And the Blood Maple Flame Tree was a treasure passed down through generations in the Liu Clan. This tree only bore one seed every hundred years, and the seeds it produced could connect with the bloodline power of the Liu Clan warriors, sharing their vital energy in a way as miraculous as a symbiotic spirit beast. With only a few seeds produced over several centuries, the fact that Liu Yiyu had obtained one clearly demonstrated how highly the Liu Clan valued him. Compared to the Blood Maple Flame Tree, the Hundred Fruit Spirit Seeds obtained by Liu Huan Yu were far inferior.
Ye Wushuang remained calm and spoke slowly, “A single seed of the Blood Maple Flame Tree is so precious that even a heavenly-grade spiritual weapon cannot be exchanged for it. The Liu Clan’s decision to give you a seed and allow you to cultivate it within yourself shows just how much they value you.”
“Humph!” Liu Yiyu snorted coldly.
“Isn’t that nice?” Ye Wushuang said slowly.
Isn’t that nice?
Seeing Liu Yiyu’s puzzled look, Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “I suppose killing you would cause the powerful figures of the Liu Clan to feel heartbroken to the core, wouldn’t it?”
Liu Yiyu stood beside the giant tree, casting a cold glance at Ye Wushuang. Was this boy still harboring illusions even now?
“Today, it will be you who dies,” Liu Yiyu declared with a cold snort, and without another word, he lunged forward with his spear once more.
“Taiyi Spear Technique, Annihilation Slash!”
With a shout, his spear descended like a blade from the sky, aiming straight for Ye Wushuang’s head. But Ye Wushuang simply clenched his hand, and the Tianya Sword was unsheathed again.
“Shattered Star Cloud!”
A cascade of sword energy roared out, like stars sprinkling across the battlefield. The sounds of collision—bang, bang, bang—erupted continuously. The sword energy surged against the spear’s momentum.
Liu Yiyu felt as if his spear, no matter how hard he struck, could not land a blow. It was utterly frustrating. Not only that, but Ye Wushuang’s sword energy, which had initially scattered, was now gradually converging into a misty cloud, as if preparing for a thunderous strike to shatter him.
“Kill!”
The gathered sword energy struck down. The cloud of sword energy landed on Liu Yiyu. Everyone who saw this scene changed their expressions in an instant. Could it be that even Liu Yiyu was going to be defeated by Ye Wushuang?
The disciples of the Five Great Families, who had been so arrogant earlier, now looked extremely upset, as if they had lost something precious. Meanwhile, Qing Shiyu clenched her small fists in excitement.
Boom…
An earth-shattering roar echoed through the air. The sword energy struck Liu Yiyu in front of him. But in the next moment, everyone was stunned. Such powerful sword energy should have killed Liu Yiyu for sure. However, at this moment, Liu Yiyu was retreating, unscathed, as if… the sword energy unleashed by Ye Wushuang had simply vanished into thin air.
What was going on?
Everyone was bewildered. At this moment, Liu Yiyu’s lips curled into a cold, contemptuous smile as he looked at Ye Wushuang.
“Am I seeing things?” Qing Shiyu exclaimed in astonishment outside the battlefield. “Shouldn’t he be dead?”
Qing Shihua, standing beside her, also furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
It wasn’t just the two sisters; many disciples, instructors, and elders within the Zangcai Valley were equally puzzled, unable to understand what had just happened.
Liu Yiyu looked at Ye Wushuang and sneered, “Do you really think you can kill me?”
Ye Wushuang raised his eyes, glanced at Liu Yiyu indifferently, and then his gaze ultimately rested on the Blood Maple Flame Tree behind Liu Yiyu.
