However, when Lu Cuishan and Xu Boyuan saw the figure, their faces lit up with joy.
“Wu Tingsheng!”
Lu Cuishan and Xu Boyuan were overjoyed.
The young man named Wu Tingsheng had long, dark hair streaked with gray, and he was dressed in a sleek, form-fitting outfit. His figure was agile and robust. Standing on the wall, he looked down at everyone with a commanding presence.
His gaze fell on Xu Boyuan, who was kneeling on the ground with one foot severed, and Lu Cuishan, who had lost both arms and one foot. His brows furrowed in concern.
Finally, his eyes met Ye Wushuang’s, and a flicker of murderous intent flashed through them.
At that moment, Jia Tiancai tugged at Ye Wushuang’s sleeve and whispered, “Wu Tingsheng, the genius from the Wu family of the Tiyan Empire.”
The Tiyan Empire was renowned for its four great families:
The Xu family!
The Lu family!
The Wu family!
The Shan family!
The prodigies born from these four families, though not as prominent as the emperor’s own princes, were still highly ranked in the land of Qingzhou.
Wu Tingsheng, hailing from the Wu family, had a much greater reputation than Xu Boyuan and Lu Cuishan. It was said that the Wu family held the highest status among the four great families of the Tiyan Empire, which seemed to be closely related to the bloodline they possessed—the Golden Crow bloodline, a mysterious and terrifying heritage.
“Let them go,” Wu Tingsheng said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow.
Another one trying to act superior!
“What if I don’t?” she retorted.
“Suit yourself,” Wu Tingsheng replied with a hint of contempt. “If you dare to kill them, I will kill you.”
As soon as these words left his lips, the atmosphere in the courtyard became palpably tense.
But in the next moment, Ye Wushuang chuckled and said, “Fine, then I’ll kill them first and see how you plan to kill me.”
With that, she thrust her sword forward.
The tip of the sword pierced through Lu Cuishan’s chest, shattering his vital energy.
Wu Tingsheng, who had been indifferent, could no longer maintain his composure and shouted, “Stop!”
“I refuse,” Ye Wushuang said, raising her hand and thrusting her sword again.
“You dare!” Wu Tingsheng could no longer contain himself and unleashed his power. A blazing flame, fueled by his mastery of the laws of the universe, enveloped his body.
With a fierce punch, he unleashed his attack.
Seeing the incoming punch, Ye Wushuang sneered and, with a swift stroke of her sword, lifted Xu Boyuan’s body into the air.
Boom…
Wu Tingsheng’s punch, imbued with the power of the blazing flame, struck Xu Boyuan’s body directly.
In an instant, Xu Boyuan’s body was shattered, and he met his demise.
In the span of a few moments, both Lu Cuishan and Xu Boyuan were killed.
Wu Tingsheng descended from the wall and looked at the corpses of Lu Cuishan and Xu Boyuan. His expression was terrifyingly dark.
His gaze shifted to Ye Wushuang, and the flames surrounding his body intensified.
At that moment, several figures arrived from outside the courtyard.
The leader of the group was a young man with a slender and slightly short stature, but his eyes sparkled with intense brilliance.
“Wu Tingsheng, what’s going on here?” the short young man asked.
“This bastard killed Xu Boyuan and Lu Cuishan,” someone replied.
“Huh?” The short young man’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Ye Wushuang. “It’s you.”
He glanced at Ye Wushuang and then at the corpses of Xu Boyuan and Lu Cuishan. “Ye Wushuang, the emperor specifically ordered us not to provoke you if we encountered you. But look what you’ve done…”
Oh?
So the emperor of the Tiyan Empire had issued such an order?
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but sneer, “Even though your emperor gave the order, it seems… these two didn’t take it seriously.”
The short young man raised an eyebrow.
Jia Tiancai immediately interjected, “It was Lu Cuishan and Xu Boyuan who caused trouble for us. Ye Wushuang saw it and couldn’t help but intervene. They were the ones who started it.”
“Dead men tell no tales. You can say whatever you want,” Wu Tingsheng said coldly.
The four great families were all pillars of the Tiyan Empire.
Though the four of them came from different families and were fierce competitors, they were also friends.
Now, with Xu Boyuan and Lu Cuishan killed, and by Ye Wushuang right in front of Wu Tingsheng, his anger was boiling over.
Before Jia Tiancai could say more, Ye Wushuang shook her head and said, “Brother Jia, no matter how much you explain, they won’t believe you. They only care about what they want to believe.”
Ye Wushuang had encountered many people like this.
Some were so accustomed to being in power and bullying others that they only cared about their own desires, without any regard for the truth.
If Ye Wushuang hadn’t encountered Jia Tiancai and the others, and they had run into Lu Cuishan and Xu Boyuan instead, those two would still have toyed with and humiliated Jia Tiancai and the others, and then killed them once they were done having their fun.
Because to Lu Cuishan and Xu Boyuan, Jia Tiancai and the others were merely sources of amusement.
Nothing more.
Once they were done playing…
They would kill!
Therefore, no matter what, Ye Wushuang had to kill Lu Cuishan and Xu Boyuan.
Looking at Wu Tingsheng and the short young man, Ye Wushuang said slowly, “I killed them, and I don’t feel the need to explain why, because… I don’t owe you any explanation!”
This statement was arrogant.
Wu Tingsheng was furious and about to attack…
