Ye Wushuang’s punch was simply too swift!
Before his opponent could even gather his energy, Ye Wushuang’s fist had already struck directly at his face.
*Bang*…
The nasal bone shattered, the cheekbones collapsed, and Long Yuanqing’s face was instantly covered in blood, as he let out a miserable scream.
“Wait!”
At that moment, Xu Wen hastily shouted, “Leave this guy to me, Brother Ye.”
Ye Wushuang paid no further attention and swung his fist, charging towards the rest of the enemies.
A dozen or so geniuses at the mid-to-late stages of the Yuanfu realm immediately surrounded Ye Wushuang.
But soon, they realized something terrifying—they were no match for Ye Wushuang.
“Run!”
“Escape for your lives!”
One by one, they were so terrified that their souls seemed to leave their bodies, desperately trying to flee.
However, Ye Wushuang had already taken control of the exit, blocking their way.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the ground was littered with corpses, lying in every direction.
On the other side, Xu Wen was straddling Long Yuanqing, pounding his fists down again and again.
“Let you call me ‘dead baldie,’ let you curse, go ahead, curse some more, curse some more…” Xu Wen was furious.
Long Yuanqing was already in a daze, completely disoriented.
What kind of monsters were these two?
Especially Ye Wushuang, whose cultivation was lower than his own, yet he had no time to react before being knocked out cold.
“My big brother… I…” *Bang*!!!
Xu Wen slammed a punch into his chest and cursed, “Your big brother is Long Yan, right?”
“Yes…”
“You son of a gun!”
Xu Wen threw another punch.
Long Yuanqing felt as if his internal organs were about to be vomited out.
These two guys knew his big brother was Long Yan, yet they dared to act like this? Were they not afraid of death?
After a good long while of beating, Xu Wen finally got up and dusted off his clothes.
Looking at Ye Wushuang, with a face full of satisfaction, he declared, “Whoever dares to call me ‘baldie,’ I’ll kill them!”
Looking at the lifeless Long Yuanqing on the ground, Ye Wushuang then turned to Xu Wen with an extremely serious expression and slowly said, “But you are a baldie.”
“Damn it, Brother Ye, if you call me ‘baldie’ again, don’t blame me for turning against you.”
“Baldie.”
“…”
In the end, Xu Wen still held back.
He realized he might not be a match for Ye Wushuang.
Meanwhile, Chu Qingcheng, sitting by the campfire, had eyes full of astonishment.
Ye Wushuang had become even more formidable.
Previously, Ye Wushuang was only at the fifth level of the Yuanfu realm, but now, in just one month, he had reached the eighth level.
Such speed was already incredibly fast, but his strength… it was even more astonishing.
Recalling what Xu Wen had said earlier, that Ye Wushuang could easily defeat a genius at the first level of the Tiangang realm, she realized that perhaps Ye Wushuang could now handle those third- or fourth-level Tiangang realm warriors within the Qingyun Empire without any problem!
The night passed quietly, and the next morning, at dawn, the forest ahead of the passage was bathed in bright light, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, resembling a kind of idyllic paradise.
However, having listened to the roars and furious howls of spiritual beasts all night, the three of them knew that this was only a superficial calm.
“Are you alright?”
Chu Qingcheng nodded and said, “Your alchemy is excellent; those medicinal herbs truly have a remarkable effect.”
“Be careful then.”
“Okay.”
Chu Qingcheng left along the passage through which the two had arrived.
Xu Wen leaned towards Ye Wushuang and couldn’t help but chuckle, “I saw that Chu girl’s clothes were completely torn yesterday. Brother Ye, you must have seen everything, right?”
Ye Wushuang ignored him.
“About the same age as you, with that figure and beauty… she will surely be a peerless beauty in the future. I think she has a crush on you. Why not just…”
“When are you going to shut that big mouth of yours?”
Xu Wen said nonchalantly, “Don’t be angry. Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and she is indeed very beautiful.”
“Are you just going to let her leave alone? Are you not worried?”
Ye Wushuang coldly replied, “If you’re not worried, then be her guardian!”
The forest ahead was extremely dangerous. Ye Wushuang might be able to protect himself, but bringing Chu Qingcheng along would indeed put her life in greater danger.
Xu Wen sighed, “I would like to, but she won’t agree. She has a crush on you. If you show a little kindness, I bet she’ll be all over you…”
“Baldie!”
“Hey, hey, hey, call me ‘baldie’ again, and I’m really going to get angry!”
“Baldie!”
“…”
The two bantered back and forth, preparing to set off to see what secrets lay within the Li Yun ancient tomb.
But at that moment, Chu Qingcheng returned!
“You…”
Ye Wushuang’s expression froze upon seeing Chu Qingcheng.
Xu Wen laughed, “See, see? I told you. Chu girl has a crush on you. She can’t bear to leave you. Another romantic entanglement!”
“Shut up, baldie!”
“You…”
Chu Qingcheng ignored their bickering and looked at Ye Wushuang, her face urgent, “Someone is coming through the passage. They’ll be here soon, and they’re very powerful!”
As soon as Chu Qingcheng finished speaking, footsteps could be heard from within the passage.
And then, in the dim passage, a light began to shine.
The light did not come from any night pearl, but from a person.
A young man leading the group, who appeared to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, wore a white robe, had a gentle expression, and was extremely amiable in appearance.
The white robe of the young man emitted light, illuminating a radius of ten zhang around him, clearly an extraordinary spiritual instrument.
“Whoa!”
Xu Wen couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing the young man.
At that moment, the young man also saw Ye Wushuang and the others.
His eyes were like the starry sea, deep and containing an age-inappropriate沧桑.
“Li Wenbo!”
The young man’s gaze finally rested on Xu Wen, his voice calm and unrippled.
Li Wenbo?
Li Wenbo, the number one genius of Lingjian Mountain?
Ye Wushuang also looked at Xu Wen beside him with a strange expression.
Xu Wen, however, straightened up and looked around, surprised, “Who? Li Wenbo? Where? Where is he?”
Seeing Xu Wen’s behavior, the young man couldn’t help but say, “Li Wenbo, you’ve forgotten me, but I haven’t forgotten you. Your baldness is just too obvious…”
“Tai Shengzi!”
Upon hearing the word “baldie,” Xu Wen immediately became as agitated as an angry rooster, his voice high-pitched, “Call me ‘baldie’ again, and I’ll fight you for another day and night!”
Hearing Xu Wen’s words, the few people behind the young man immediately stepped forward with unfriendly expressions.
“So you do remember me!”
The young man smiled slightly, holding back the people around him, and said, “He has already reached the first level of the Tiangang realm. If you attack, it will be suicide.”
The few people looked at Xu Wen with astonished eyes.
At this moment, Chu Qingcheng was filled with disbelief.
This talkative bald man was actually Li Wenbo, the formidable genius of Lingjian Mountain?
And Ye Wushuang had actually become friends with such a genius!
Moreover, the calm and composed young man before them was none other than Tai Shengzi, one of the two great geniuses of Taiqing Palace!
At this moment, Ye Wushuang was also astonished.
Xu Wen!
Li Wenbo!
This guy…
Tai Shengzi walked past the three of them and looked at the forest ahead, saying, “Li Yun’s ancient tomb, Li Yun of the Li clan, in his youth, was undoubtedly the number one genius of the Qingzhou region, looking down upon his peers. Later, he achieved great things, but then he suddenly betrayed the Li clan, leaving the world puzzled. Li Wenbo, do you know why?”
