Chapter 8: Ye Qiu’s Visit, A Fated Encounter

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

A person was standing on the back of the flying spirit beast. He was tall and straight, and he held a silver spear in his hand. He was assertive and handsome. His face seemed carved by a knife, and there was a hint of domineering aura between his brows.

This person was none other than Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu’s appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the Daoist temple.

Li Yu remained calm as he looked at Ye Qiu.

“Is Li Yu here?” Ye Qiu looked down with a powerful voice.

“They are quick to find me.” Li Yu sighed, then he stood up. “What do you need?”

“I’m Ye Clan of Nan’an City—Ye Qiu. I’m ranked fourth on the Hidden Dragon Rankings. I’m here to have a taste of your skill today!” Ye Qiu’s gaze was like lightning.

His entire aura was like an unsheathed blade that was sharp and overflowing with battle intent.

Li Yu had long guessed that there would be challengers unconvinced of his ranking, and he was not surprised in the slightest.

It was easy to deal with such a person. He only needed to teach him a lesson.

However, right at that moment, an interface popped up in front of Li Yu.

It was a detailed introduction of Ye Qiu. His gender, height, weight, hobbies, and cultivation realm were shown.

His weapon was the Azure Dragon Spear. His body tempering cultivation technique—Profound Yang Tyrant Body Art, cultivated to the sixth tier. His martial technique was the Wandering Dragon Tyrant Art at the fourth tier.

What shocked Li Yu more was that…

There was a row of large red words at the bottom of Ye Qiu’s information panel.

[This person can activate the Qing Cang Ancient Emperor’s Hidden Treasure mission.]

Damn, there’s even such a function! This is getting ridiculous.

Li Yu increasingly felt that his system was not as simple as it seemed.

Since the system told him that he could use this person to open some Qing Cang Ancient Emperor’s treasure mission,

This meant that this person was valuable to him, and he was fated to meet him.

In that case, he would be merciful later on and ensure he did not beat him to death!

Li Yu looked at Ye Qiu and was about to use the Curtain Lotus Sect’s ultimate technique on him: Come at me!1

Suddenly, a commotion sounded from the foot of the mountain. It was Zhou Dalang charging over with a group of bandits.

They came in a menacing fashion as if they wanted to flatten the Daoist temple.

“Um… wait a moment. I have a small problem that I need to resolve first!” Li Yu said to Ye Qiu.

“Do you need my help?” Ye Qiu could also tell that the people rushing over from below were probably a group of vicious bandits. A sense of righteousness could not help but rise in his heart.

“It’s fine. I can handle it by myself!” Li Yu took another sip of tea and leisurely walked to the Daoist temple’s door.

At that moment, the shouts of Zhou Dalang and the bandits could be heard from outside the door. “Li Yu, you better get out here now!”

Zhou Erlang knew that his older brother had brought help here and was immediately overjoyed. He thought that he was saved.

Seeing that Li Yu had already walked out of the Taoist temple, he looked at everyone and secretly put down his work before crawling towards the door.

When Li Yu walked out the door, the mountain bandits had already surrounded the Daoist temple so tightly that not a drop of water could trickle through.

The leader, Zhou Dalang, had confirmed from the subordinate who had returned that the person in front of him was Li Yu. He shouted sternly, “Punk, where is my brother? Hurry up and let them go. And I can spare your life!”

“Did you bring the silver?” Li Yu folded his arms and asked instead of answering.

“Humph, it has always been me who asks others for money. No one has ever dared to ask me for silver!” Zhou Dalang roared.

When he heard his subordinate return this morning to say that Li Yu wanted five thousand taels, he was furious.

If you opened your mouth to ask for five thousand taels, why don’t you just rob for it?

Furthermore, in his opinion, even if this boy’s strength was extraordinary, he was at most at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Zhou Dalang had the strength of a middle-stage Aureate Body Realm martial artist. It must be more than enough to deal with that brat.

Therefore, he brought more than a hundred people here to take revenge today and kidnap this money tree back at the same time.

“So you didn’t bring it. In that case, you can die!” Li Yu clenched his fists, stomped his feet, and instantly sped off.

He was so quick that no one could catch a glimpse of his figure.

When Zhou Dalang snapped out of his daze, he felt as if a meteor had struck his chest.

The powerful blow made him feel as if his soul had been punched out.

He even saw his corpse fly into the air.

Then, nothing.

At the same time, Zhou Erlang, who had just crawled to the door and was about to call out to his older brother, suddenly stopped.

He happened to witness his older brother being punched to the sky by Li Yu.

He immediately turned around and silently crawled back while his entire body was drenched in a cold sweat.

Li Yu did not choose to use his sword to deal with these bandits.

Firstly, these minions were not worthy of him drawing his sword.

Secondly, he did not want their blood and corpses to dirty the ground in front of his Daoist temple.

So using his fist to shatter their organs was simple and environmentally friendly.

He could also directly send their corpses out of the Nine-tailed Mountain while he was at it, simply killing two birds with one stone.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One bandit after another was blasted into the sky by Li Yu like cannonballs.

In the end, they turned into black dots that disappeared into the horizon.

Li Yu controlled his strength very precisely. He ensured that while he killed those bandits, he could also allow their trajectories… uh, flight path to form a perfect parabola.

They happened to fly out of the range of Nine-tailed Mountain and accurately landed at the mouth of Xishui Village, located a few kilometers away.

At that moment, the villagers were busy in the fields. They saw figures falling from the sky and falling by the side of the village.

The villagers rushed to the village entrance in shock. When they took a closer look at the corpses’ clothes, they were overjoyed.

“It’s, it’s those bandits from Black Bear Mountain!”

“Those mountain bandits have finally been killed!”

“Thank you, God, for eliminating the bandits for us!”

“My son’s spirit in heaven can now rest in peace!”

The villagers knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed to the air.

They had all been persecuted by the Juyi Hall. Other than robbery, some had family members who died in the hands of these mountain bandits, some had daughters abducted by the bandits, and there was no news of them at all.

Today, they witnessed that the mountain bandits were beaten to death mercilessly.

They could finally vent the hatred in their hearts.

On the Nine-tailed Mountain, Ye Qiu watched as those bandits were sent to the west by a single punch from Li Yu. The corners of his eyes seemed to be twitching non-stop as a chill ran down his spine.

Fortunately, he did not fight him just now. Otherwise, he would probably be the one sent to heaven right now!

Ye Qiu felt some lingering fear.

He had never known what fear was.

In the past, when he fought in martial arts, even if he encountered someone stronger than him, he had never been afraid.

However, at this moment, when facing Li Yu who possessed unfathomable strength, he became a little cowardly.

To be able to punch someone until they disappeared without a trace, what sort of horrifying power was that?

It was probably the same for his father in the Transcendence realm.

Could it be that this guy had already reached the Nascent Soul realm or the Body Tempering Transcendent realm?

How could he compete with that?

He was on a completely different level from that freak.

It was like a baby challenging a grown man who could make you cry just by flicking your head.
