Chapter 891: You Are Never My Equal

"Uncle Wu, is the Liu Family really finished just like that?" Zou Ziang stared at the calm lake surface and asked, somewhat distracted.

The middle-aged man behind him was Uncle Wu, the butler of the Zou Family, who had been with the Zou Family for over thirty years.

"Young Master, the news has been confirmed. They have been wiped out. From now on, of the Six Great Noble Families, there are only five left," Uncle Wu stepped forward and replied respectfully.

"Chen Yu's methods are truly ruthless," Zou Ziang sneered and said, "But how will he withstand the fury of the Tiance Sword Mansion next?"

"Haha, Chen Yu comes from a common background. No matter how impressively he has managed to get by, he is nothing more than a rough commoner. How could he compare to you, Young Master, with your impeccable pedigree? When it comes to playing games, he is still several grades behind you," Uncle Wu laughed heartily.

"But his strength is indeed formidable," Zou Ziang sighed slightly and said, "A Dharma Cultivator of this age is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. What kind of fortuitous encounters has Chen Yu had? And with his intelligence, he must know that I was the one planning behind the scenes. How do you think he will deal with me?"

"Hehe, please rest assured, Young Master. Chen Yu is no fool. Our Zou Family has superiors backing us. He wouldn't dare use the same methods he used on the Liu Family against us, because doing so would disrupt the order of the imperial court, which is something no one dares to touch," Uncle Wu smiled slightly and said quite confidently.

"That is true. Even if he had no brain, Ye Qingning would stop him." Mentioning Ye Qingning, Zou Ziang gritted his teeth: "That woman from the Ye Family is truly ungrateful."

"She will regret the choice she made," Uncle Wu said: "You, Young Master, are a dragon among men; how could someone like that bumpkin Chen Yu compare?"

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and a slap landed on Uncle Wu; immediately after, Chen Yu appeared before the two of them.

"Chen Yu, you..." Uncle Wu's expression changed drastically. He could not care about the swelling on the side of his face from the slap and roared as if facing a great enemy: "Someone come!"

Before he could call anyone, Chen Yu's figure flashed, and he had already arrived beside Zou Ziang.

"Chen Yu, you've come?" Zou Ziang's expression shifted, but he immediately feigned a calm appearance. He slowly stood up and smiled: "I wonder what brings you here?"

"What do you think?" Chen Yu stared at Zou Ziang and sneered: "Don't waste your effort. On my way here, I knocked down over thirty guards; they are all lying on the ground sleeping now."

"Impressive. These guards of mine are all top-tier experts," Zou Ziang said with a chuckle: "You were able to knock them all down without making a sound?"

"Bullshit experts. In my eyes, they are nothing but trash," Chen Yu took a step forward, and the killing intent on his body surged violently toward Zou Ziang.

No matter how calculating Zou Ziang was, he was still just an ordinary person. Chen Yu's killing intent made his expression change, and he could not help but take two steps back.

His face was deathly pale, and he gasped for air. If he took one more step back, he would fall into the lake. He raised his head, gritted his teeth, and tried hard to maintain his composure.

This was his romantic rival, and he had his pride; he could not lose face in front of his rival.

"Zou Ziang, do you think it would take any effort for me to kill you?" Chen Yu said in a measured tone.

"Chen Yu, don't touch our Young Master! If you dare to harm a single hair on our Young Master's head, our Zou Family will exhaust the power of the whole world to fight you to the death," Uncle Wu, who was to the side, roared.

"Is that so?" Chen Yu walked closer to Zou Ziang, took a strand of his hair, and then a Taoist Talisman appeared in his hand. He placed the hair into the Taoist Talisman, and Chen Yu pinched a Dao Formula with his right hand. Zou Ziang's body stiffened, and uncontrollably, he began to walk slowly into the lake water.

"Chen Yu, you..." Zou Ziang's expression changed wildly; he was finally somewhat unsettled.

"If I want to kill you, there are countless ways to do it without leaving a trace," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "When that happens, what reason would your Zou Family have to find fault with me?"

"Chen Yu, don't act recklessly." Uncle Wu's expression changed drastically; he really was not sure if Chen Yu would drown their Young Master.

"I'm not acting recklessly. Right now, he is the one who wants to jump into the river and commit suicide; what does that have to do with me?" Chen Yu grinned. *Splash! * Zou Ziang stepped one foot into the lake.

Zou Ziang could not help but shudder; the autumn lake water was already faintly chilly. He walked slowly forward in the lake, and soon, the water submerged his knees.

"Chen Yu, if you have the guts, kill me directly! What kind of hero uses these kinds of underhanded schemes?" Zou Ziang's face was deathly pale.

"You want to commit suicide; what does that have to do with me?" Chen Yu sneered, sat down to the side, and said: "Zou Ziang, do you think you are very impressive, capable of strategizing and winning battles from a thousand miles away?"

"Do you also think that among the many young masters in Shengjing, you are the best, and no one can compare to you?"

"Do you still believe that everything you do is flawless, and that no one can see any clues in anything you do?" Chen Yu laughed.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Seeing that the lake water had already reached his waist, Zou Ziang was finally afraid.

"Nothing much, just here to make you recognize reality. You are indeed impressive, stronger than the trash in the same circle," Chen Yu sneered: "But you must know, compared to me, you are still lacking quite a bit."

"Duan Ziqi of the Tiance Sword Mansion, you were the one who invited him over, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"What are you talking about? I don't know," Zou Ziang's eyelid twitched.

"Don't play dumb with me, it's useless," Chen Yu shook his head and said: "The relationship between your Zou Family and the Tiance Sword Mansion is not ordinary. Besides you, who else could invite him?"

"That's because you offended Duan Ziqi; what does that have to do with me?" Zou Ziang roared.

"Hehe, facts are facts. Are you going to quibble with me?" Chen Yu sneered, pointed a finger, and Zou Ziang accelerated; the lake water had already reached his chest.

"Chen Yu, what are you doing? Stop." Zou Ziang was afraid after all; he could not swim and was born with a fear of water.

He had been desperately suppressing his inner fear when he first entered the water, but now that the water was at his chest, he could no longer hold it together.

"Actually, I know. You deliberately provoked me so I would kill Duan Ziqi, and then you would tell the Tiance Sword Mansion, making me go up against that behemoth, right?" Chen Yu smiled: "Actually, you don't need to go to such trouble, because I already had someone hang Duan Ziqi's head above the Tiance Sword Mansion's sect gate yesterday."

"And I told them, the killer is Chen Yu. I made the Tiance Sword Mansion, from the sect leader down to everyone else, kneel before Huizhao Shitai's spirit tablet to repent. If they dare to disobey, I will annihilate their Tiance Sword Mansion."

"Are you crazy?" Zou Ziang roared with rage: "You are the head of the Martial Alliance, that's true, but the Tiance Sword Mansion controls the Xuanwu Pavilion and is the leader of the Martial Dao in the Jiangnan region. Do you really think that you, alone, can go up against the entire martial arts world of Jiangnan?"
