Chapter 3475: Provoking the Elite

Just as Qi Shengyu was anxious, Hou Yuanqing arrived with more than ten Fifth and Sixth Layer disciples.

Yuan Sheng was also among them; the injuries to his hands and feet had largely healed and no longer hindered his movement. He had come to watch Hou Yuanqing take revenge for him. x.

He had been badly beaten by Ye Liuyun last time, and the men Hou Yuanqing sent could never deal with Ye Liuyun. So he had been holding that resentment inside, with nowhere to vent.

Hou Yuanqing felt the same; he hadn't expected that a mere guard would be so hard to kill. He originally planned to wait until Yuan Sheng fully recovered, then take him to avenge Ye Liuyun.

But now the opportunity presented itself, and he didn't intend to go to Chen Yueying's peak to provoke her. So he seized the chance, arrived, and under the pretext of helping Qi Shengyu, went to confront Ye Liuyun.

In fact, Hou Yuanqing also knew Yuan Sheng had been incited by Qi Shengyu, but he thought the debt with Qi Shengyu could be settled later; first he would avenge Yuan Sheng.

So when Qi Shengyu saw them and greeted them with a smile, Hou Yuanqing gave him no friendly look, merely saying they were there to help, and then confronted Ye Liuyun's group.

The aura of the Seventh Layer of Taixu was indeed far stronger than that of the Taixu Liu Chong. When Hou Yuanqing unleashed his pressure, Ye Liuyun's side was shaken and forced to retreat.

But Ye Liuyun could see at a glance that Hou Yuanqing's Divine Soul Power was far weaker than his. He could use Spiritual Soul Attack to control or kill Hou Yuanqing.

But he first asked Chen Yueying: "If I kill the Sect's elite disciples, will that cause you trouble?"

Ye Liuyun knew that using a Slave Seal to control Hou Yuanqing would definitely draw Sect interference; outsiders wouldn't be allowed to control their elite disciples, and it would sound bad if it spread, so the best solution was to kill him—one stroke, lasting peace.

"You want to kill Hou Yuanqing?" Chen Yueying was startled by the words.

She wasn't thinking about the Sect's rules. As long as she followed the rules, she wouldn't cause trouble. What she considered was Hou Yuanqing's status.

She immediately reminded Ye Liuyun: "Hou Yuanqing's father is a Tianyu Marquis, very powerful; even my father must handle him carefully!"

"That Tianyu Marquis, would he dare to act against me inside the Sect?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

Chen Yueying replied: "He actually doesn't dare. Just

Even my father cannot interfere in Sect affairs! The strength of Qianling Sect is far more than it appears!"

"Since they don't dare to come in and kill me, if I kill Hou Yuanqing, would that be fine? They wouldn't retaliate against you, would they?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

"Um… if you can stay inside the Sect, of course nothing major will happen; at most they'll place a bounty and have some disciples act against you. But will you never leave the Sect again?

They probably won't do anything to me. But getting scolded by my father is unavoidable!"

Chen Yueying honestly told Ye Liuyun everything.

She hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to be so bold. But then she recalled that this wasn't the first time Ye Liuyun had acted against the Marquis's offspring.

When she first met Ye Liuyun, he had already eliminated one; later he killed a president's son, and now another, so she felt relieved thinking about it.

"Perhaps his courage is innate, or maybe he simply never regards these nobles!"

She was pondering how the Tianyu Marquis would deal with Ye Liuyun after he killed Hou Yuanqing.

Yuan Sheng's shout rang out again: "Ye Liuyun, come out and meet death! Dare to strike me, I will make you pay! Today I will pull your tendons, skin you alive, and let you watch how I torment you to death!"

"Hehe, remember what you just said! Last time I spared you a dog's life, and you still dare to bark out here! I wonder if you've earned enough points this time?"

Ye Liuyun calmly stepped forward, and slowly walked to the front of the formation.

"A single guard, yet such big talk! With me here today, you're certain to die; even if you trade resources or points for life, it won't help!" Hou Yuanqing stared at Ye Liuyun and said coldly. Biquku

He saw that Chen Yueying didn't step forward to speak for Ye Liuyun, so he felt more at ease, thinking Chen Yueying tacitly allowed him to act freely.

As for Ye Liuyun's strength, although he had heard rumors, he still thought Ye Liuyun was not his match; after all, the gap in realms cannot be bridged by Spatial Power or weapons.

Ye Liuyun nonchalantly glanced at Hou Yuanqing and suddenly laughed,

then asked him: "Better take care of yourself first! Have you earned enough points?"

His question caused an uproar throughout the venue.

The onlooking Martial Cultivators felt sorry for him in their hearts: "This kid's strength is indeed good, but he's too arrogant! Talking like that to elite disciples is courting death!"

"Today there's truly a good show; perhaps Hou Yuanqing will actually pull this kid's tendons and skin him later!"

Hou Yuanqing was startled by the words, then sneered: "I have plenty of points, I'm just afraid you won't have any life to spend!"

Ye Liuyun merely waved his hand, looking impatient.

"Tch, I'm not interested yet! I've changed my mind; I think I'll just kill you outright! Do you want to fight me directly, or let them have a bout first and watch the fun?"

"Haha, you're truly not an ordinary madman! Want to kill me? You don't even match me! Yet your courage is commendable; today I'll make an exception and spar with you, so we don't waste time!" x.

Hou Yuanqing also realized that both sides had similar numbers and strength, so battling for attrition was pointless. If he didn't strike, Ye Liuyun certainly wouldn't either.

Taking advantage of Chen Yueying not intervening, his target was mainly Ye Liuyun, so he decided to act quickly, resolve the problem, and then speak.

As long as he kills Ye Liuyun, he can withdraw immediately without delaying Chen Yueying's challenge to Qi Shengyu. So he agreed to engage Ye Liuyun directly.

Ye Liuyun continued to look at Hou Yuanqing with disdain, waved his hand, and ordered those behind him to step back to avoid harming them.

"Cousin, don't kill this ant outright; leave a living mouth for revenge!" Yuan Sheng said to Hou Yuanqing beside him.

"Fine!" Hou Yuanqing nodded in agreement.

Ye Liuyun smiled at Yuan Sheng and said, "Don't rush; your turn will come soon!"

After speaking, he flicked his hand, and the Demon Slaying Sword appeared, wielding Spatial Power as he leapt toward Hou Yuanqing, then released his two Soul Sources toward Hou Yuanqing's Sea of Consciousness.

"Hmph!" Hou Yuanqing let out a cold snort; although he saw that Ye Liuyun's Spatial Power was strong, he didn't mind much and used his own Spatial Power to shield himself.

Then he suddenly reached out, grabbing at Ye Liuyun's Demon Slaying Sword.
