Ye Wushuang’s fist was simply too swift!
Before his opponent could even gather his energy into a focused beam, Ye Wushuang’s punch had already smashed directly into his face.
*Boom……*
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!”
Xu Wen quickly interjected, “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 and late stages of the Yuanfu realm immediately surrounded Ye Wushuang.
But soon, they all realized something terrifying.
They were no match for Ye Wushuang.
“Run!”
“Flee for your lives!”
One by one, they were terrified out of their wits, trying to escape.
But Ye Wushuang had already taken control of the exit of the passage, blocking their way.
In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the ground was littered with corpses, sprawled in every direction.
On the other side, Xu Wen was straddling Long Yuanqing, pounding his fists down again and again.
“Let you call me ‘baldy,’ let you curse me, keep going, curse me more……”
Xu Wen was furious.
Long Yuanqing was already dazed and confused.
What kind of monsters were these two?
Especially Ye Wushuang, whose cultivation was lower than his, yet he had no time to react at all and was knocked senseless.
“My big brother…… I……”
*Boom!!!*
Xu Wen threw a punch directly into his chest, shouting, “Your big brother is Long Yan, right?”
“Yes……”
“You son of a gun!”
Xu Wen threw another punch.
Long Yuanqing felt like his internal organs were about to be vomited out.
These two guys knew his brother was Long Yan, and yet they dared to act like this? Were they not afraid of death?
After a good while of beating, Xu Wen finally got up, dusted off his clothes, and looked at Ye Wushuang with a relieved expression, saying, “Whoever dares to call me baldy, I’ll kill them!”
Looking at the lifeless Long Yuanqing on the ground, Ye Wushuang then looked at Xu Wen with a very serious expression and slowly said, “But you are a baldy.”
“Darn it, Brother Ye, if you call me baldy again, don’t blame me for turning against you.”
“Baldy.”
“……”
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 her beautiful eyes filled with 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 a month, he had reached the eighth level.
This speed was already incredibly fast, but his strength…… was even more astonishing.
Recalling what Xu Wen had said earlier, facing a heavenly pride at the first level of the Tiangang realm, Ye Wushuang could still slaughter them effortlessly.
Perhaps, with his current abilities, Ye Wushuang could take on those third and fourth-level Tiangang realm experts within the Qingyun Empire without any problem!
The night passed without incident, and the next morning, early in the day.
The forest ahead of the passage was bathed in bright sunlight, 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 remarkable effects.”
“Then be careful on your own.”
“Okay.”
Chu Qingcheng left along the passage through which the two had arrived.
Xu Wen sidled up to Ye Wushuang and couldn’t help but chuckle mischievously, “I saw how thoroughly torn Chu’s clothes were yesterday. Brother Ye, you must have seen everything there was to see, right?”
Ye Wushuang ignored him.
“She’s about your age, with a figure and a face…… She’s bound to be a beauty that will enchant the nation in the future. I think she’s interested in you. Why not just……”
“Can you ever shut that big mouth of yours?”
Xu Wen nonchalantly replied, “Don’t be angry. Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and she truly is very pretty.”
“Are you really okay with just letting her leave alone?”
Ye Wushuang coldly said, “If you’re not okay with it, go be her protector!”
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 peril.
Xu Wen sighed, “I’d like to, but she’s not willing. She’s secretly fond of you. If you show a little kindness, I bet she’d be all flustered and fall into your arms……”
“Baldy!”
“Hey, hey, hey, call me baldy again, and I’m really going to get mad!”
“Baldy!”
“……”
The two bantered back and forth, preparing to set off and see what secrets lay within the Li Yun ancient tomb.
But just at that moment, Chu Qingcheng returned!
“You……”
Ye Wushuang’s expression froze upon seeing Chu Qingcheng.
Xu Wen laughed heartily, “See? I told you! Chu is secretly fond of you and couldn’t bear to leave. Another romantic entanglement for you!”
“Shut up, baldy!”
“You……”
Ignoring the bickering between the two, Chu Qingcheng looked at Ye Wushuang with an urgent expression and said, “Someone is coming through the passage. They’ll be here soon, and they’re very powerful!”
No sooner had Chu Qingcheng finished speaking than 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, appearing to be sixteen or seventeen years old, wore a white robe, had a gentle expression, and had a handsome face that looked extremely amiable.
The young man’s white robe emitted light, illuminating a radius of ten zhang around him, clearly an extraordinary spiritual artifact.
“Whoa!”
Xu Wen couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing the young man.
At this moment, the young man also saw Ye Wushuang and the others.
His gaze was like the starry sea, deep and filled with a沧桑that did not match his age.
“Li Wenbo!”
The young man’s gaze finally rested on Xu Wen, his tone 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, looked around, and asked in surprise, “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 conspicuous……”
“Tai Shengzi!”
Upon hearing the word “baldy,” Xu Wen immediately became as agitated as a rooster with its feathers ruffled, and he shouted in a high-pitched voice, “Call me baldy 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 would be suicide.”
The few people looked at Xu Wen in astonishment.
At this moment, Chu Qingcheng was filled with disbelief.
This chatty, bald-headed man was actually the renowned Li Wenbo of Lingjian Mountain?
And Ye Wushuang had actually befriended 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, “The ancient tomb of Li Yun, Li Yun of the Li clan, was the number one pride of the Qingzhou region in his youth, looking down upon his peers. Later, he achieved greatness, but then he suddenly betrayed the Li clan, which left the world puzzled. Li Wenbo, do you know why?”
