“Within less than a year, you have grown from the Body Refining Realm to the Yuanfu Realm. That is truly rare,” Chu Tian Shen said coldly, standing with his sword in hand. “However, the title of the number one prodigy of the Qingyun Empire can only belong to me, Chu Tian Shen. You are not worthy of it, nor should you even attempt to claim it!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang felt an urge to laugh. He had never claimed to be the number one prodigy of the Qingyun Empire—such a notion seemed childish to him. It was the people in the Imperial Capital who had started comparing him with Chu Tian Shen.
“Liu Yiyu and Shang Gufeng both died at my hands. You would be no different,” Ye Wushuang retorted. Chu Tian Shen’s expression grew even colder. The long sword in his hand began to glow with a terrifying light, as if an endless amount of killing intent was about to burst forth.
“Prepare to die!” Chu Tian Shen shouted, and with a swift motion, he swung his sword. A terrifying sword energy transformed into a cascade of sword rain, heading straight for Ye Wushuang.
Ye Wushuang was just about to raise his sword in defense when suddenly…
“Stop!”
A stern voice rang out. Immediately after, two figures descended from the sky and appeared in front of Chu Tian Shen. They effortlessly deflected all of Chu Tian Shen’s attacks and then firmly restrained him. The two newcomers, a man and a woman, appeared to be in their thirties or forties, yet their auras were incredibly powerful.
“Uncle Three!”
“Aunt Four!”
Seeing that these two had actually blocked him, Chu Tian Shen was furious. “Why are you stopping me?”
The man was Chu Gongming, and the woman was Chu Gongyu. They were the right-hand men of the Chu Clan’s patriarch, Chu Gongyao, and core strong figures of the Chu Clan.
“Tian Shen, you are being too impulsive!” Chu Gongming pressed a hand on Chu Tian Shen’s shoulder, suppressing his outburst and persuading him. “Let’s go home first.”
“No!” Chu Tian Shen shouted. “This boy is arrogant and disrespectful. He has trampled on the dignity of our Chu Clan. I must kill him!”
“Tian Shen, calm down!” Chu Gongyu also admonished. “Let’s discuss everything back at the clan.”
“Uncle Three, Aunt Four, are you afraid of him too?” Chu Tian Shen said again. “I am at the peak of the Yuanfu Realm. I am not afraid of him. If I don’t kill him, I cannot relieve my anger!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow. On the way here, Qing Sihua had told him that although the Chu Clan had planned to arrange for Chu Qingcheng to marry Chu Tian Shen, neither Chu Qingcheng nor Chu Tian Shen had any affection for each other. Chu Tian Shen actually liked Liu Huan Yu from the Liu Clan, the very woman he had killed on the life-and-death platform.
As soon as he emerged from his closed-door cultivation, Chu Tian Shen had captured Qing Chengtian and the others, forcing Ye Wushuang to come to the life-and-death platform. It was more likely because of Liu Huan Yu.
“Tian Shen!!!” Chu Gongming’s palm energy surged, pushing Chu Tian Shen back and reprimanding him. “When did you become so reckless? Let’s wait until we get home and see your father before we discuss anything further!”
“I…” Chu Tian Shen was momentarily speechless and did not argue further.
Chu Gongming and Chu Gongyu stepped forward, intending to take Chu Tian Shen and leave the Zangcai Valley.
“Do you take me for a dead man?”
However, at that moment, Ye Wushuang’s voice rang out. “You captured my friends and forced me to come here. Now you think you can just walk away?”
Hearing Ye Wushuang’s words, Chu Tian Shen became even more furious and shouted, “Uncle Three, Aunt Four, you see for yourselves. It’s this boy who is courting death.”
Chu Gongyu once again restrained Chu Tian Shen. Chu Gongming, however, looked at Ye Wushuang, suppressing his anger, and asked, “What does Young Master Ye want?”
“Binding my friends and making them kneel here is a great humiliation!”
“Today, either Chu Tian Shen fights me, or… he kneels down and apologizes to my friends!”
As soon as these words left Ye Wushuang’s mouth, there was an uproar both on and off the life-and-death platform. Ye Wushuang was still as arrogant as ever, even when facing Chu Tian Shen of the Chu Clan!
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian Shen was so angry that his hands clenched into fists and his body trembled slightly.
“Uncle Three, Aunt Four…”
Chu Tian Shen raised his head abruptly, his voice cold and harsh. “You have heard him too. It is he who refuses to back down.”
“Today, I must fight him on the life-and-death platform!”
At this moment, Chu Gongming and Chu Gongyu’s faces also turned ugly. Chu Tian Shen had been the pride of the Chu Clan since his childhood, with exceptional talent and thus pampered by the elders of the Chu Clan. However, this had also nurtured his arrogant and overbearing personality, making him willing to do anything to achieve his goals.
But this time, it was different. This time, he was facing Ye Wushuang, the very Ye Wushuang whom even the Chu Clan now feared!
“Go back!” Chu Gongming shouted again.
Chu Tian Shen was stunned. Why were Uncle Three and Aunt Four so afraid of Ye Wushuang?
Chu Gongming looked at Ye Wushuang once more and said, “Ye Wushuang, don’t push things to the extreme. Otherwise, in the future…”
“Push things to the extreme? There is no such thing as pushing things to the extreme with you four families,” Ye Wushuang interrupted Chu Gongming’s words with a sneer. “At this point, even if Chu Tian Shen doesn’t come for me, I can’t help but want to kill him.”
“Today, by capturing my friends, I am already making a concession by just asking him to kneel and apologize. If he can’t do that, then I don’t mind another battle!”
Ye Wushuang spoke with contempt, “Our Ye Clan has recently had another great piece of good news. Yuan Pengwang is about to break through to the Wanfa Realm!”
As soon as these words left his mouth, Chu Gongming’s body jolted, and his face turned extremely ugly.
