As he spoke these words, a flicker of imperceptible coldness and venom flashed in his eyes.

Baoshu assumed that the treasures his father gave him should be very powerful, and only then did he realize he needed to put them to use immediately. Although he had seen Wang Ye's formidable methods before, which had momentarily flustered him.

But thinking back, having claimed he had many treasures, even if he threw them all, he could crush the young man before him to death.

With this thought, Baoshu, who previously appeared timid, unexpectedly gained confidence.

He had a powerful father who showered him with various benefits, fostering his arrogance and negligence in cultivation. His hands were also full of various treasures.

Truly faced with such a situation, he was momentarily at a loss.

"You filthy brat, also a second-order peak Emperor realm cultivator, you must have used some treasure I didn't notice. Otherwise, it's impossible to take them all down. Watch how I kill you."

Baoshu now felt confident, his gaze started to change, no longer with the earlier terror and panic.

His eyes were now venomous, even cold.

Such a change naturally did not escape Wang Ye's observation, but he didn't really care what this kid could do.

The crowd that gathered around out of interest was all stunned, thinking this show might be worth watching.

"Say, of these two second-order peak Emperor realm guys, which will be the one left standing?"

"Hahaha, of course, the one with a remarkable father. Although the father, a Sixth Stage Emperor Realm, has some trouble reaching the Eight-Order Pinnacle Great World. But he knows how to curry favor!"

"Right, right, I've seen this kid's Sixth Stage Emperor Realm father, he actually managed to ingratiate himself with a powerhouse from the Eight-Order Pinnacle Great World. Quite a skill."

The onlookers gathered more and more, discussing the matter enthusiastically.

Wang Ye, as the one involved, naturally wasn't deaf and felt hesitant for a moment upon hearing about Baoshu's father's connections.

If he really annihilated this rascal, trouble would surely follow.

Previously, he had even let a few friends act separately to avoid drawing too much attention.

However, truly making a move now seemed somewhat lacking in consideration of the bigger picture.

"Hmph, scared? This time I'm giving you a lesson, scram!"

Seeing the opponent back down, Wang Ye didn't intend to go for the kill. After all, eliminating such a useless guy would invite more significant troubles.

Concerned for others' safety, he reluctantly decided to spare this person.

But then, a voice of mockery reached his ears.

"Tch tch tch, weren't you so imposing just now? Nearly scared me to wet my pants. Now wanting to resolve it, unless you let the woman beside you be my servant. Let me enjoy her properly before returning her, and we can consider the previous grudges settled."

Baoshu's eyes shifted twice, and his right hand had already fetched two very powerful treasures from his person. Earlier, intimidated by Wang Ye, he had forgotten he had lots of good stuff.

In his view, as long as he wielded these two treasures, even a Fourth-Order Pinnacle Emperor Lord Realm expert wouldn't escape death.

Although he had been a bit humiliated earlier, he had no choice but to swallow it for now and find a way to stir up trouble again.

This move once again made the expressions of surrounding onlookers vivid.

They all retreated in unison. Naturally, when someone says such things, it's impossible to easily settle the matter.

Upon hearing this, Tina appeared somewhat worried, never expecting this guy to shift his target toward her.

As for the surrounding onlookers, they didn't see Baoshu's proposal as unreasonable. If Wang Ye agreed, it wouldn't be significant!

"Are you afraid?"

The corner of Wang Ye's eyes glanced at her, asking in a calm tone.

He naturally wouldn't actually agree. Even without signing a contract, as long as they were friends, Wang Ye would never betray trust. However, this guy before him had completely angered him, and he hesitated no longer about taking action.

Earlier, he worried about involving other friends, yet by now, he realized if he truly let Baoshu go, the latter would take him for an easy target.

Tina's mouth moved slightly, wanting to step forward to comfort him but stopped.

She knew very well she was just an accessory, stuck in her old mindset, not daring to offer Wang Ye any advice.

She then lowered her head, no longer making any moves.

It appeared as if she had resigned herself, but in fact, she felt deep down she might not need to doubt Wang Ye and could fully trust him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have signed the contract in the first place.

Though there was a contract as a safeguard, in Tina's heart, she hoped to see someone stand up for her, which would make her even more certain of her choice and leave no inner conflicts.

Watching this girl's reaction, Wang Ye didn't receive her answer and guessed her thoughts. However, he was already contemplating how to destroy Baoshu without dragging others into it.

Then, he turned back to look at Baoshu, whose gaze was gradually returning to a ferocious state.

This move piqued the interest of the surrounding onlookers again. The two, despite being at the same level, seemed ready to unleash their ultimate moves; it was uncertain who would perish first.

"I know you still want to take a shot at me, but could you be a bit more aboveboard?"

"What do you consider to be aboveboard?"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Baoshu curved a hint of a sneer, now enveloped in a golden thread protecting him. This was the protective treasure his father acquired at a high cost.

Their conversation shifted the attention of the onlookers and Tina toward Qin Bufan. No one understood what he intended to do.

Wang Ye understood that people's pride mattered, especially in this scenario, so he proposed a gamble.

"Let's enter the Tanso Forest together; whoever survives will rely solely on their own skills."

This bet seemed trivial, yet in reality, it tested who could enter first; the one who lagged behind, naturally, had only one fate—death!

In this way, attention wouldn't fall on Wang Ye's other friends; instead, they'd believe it was a conflict arising from resource contention. Originally, this should have been the case, yet Wang Ye saw the bigger picture.

If he was to eliminate Baoshu, it had to be comprehensive. Otherwise, facing Baoshu's father, an even more troublesome issue would arise.

Hearing these words, Tina, standing by, suddenly raised her head.

Although there weren't any comforting words, nor direct answers, she had understood Wang Ye's intent.

At this moment, her heart, long lonely and reluctant to open up, was once again swayed by Wang Ye.

"He... actually didn't compromise, nor mention me? Could it be, he really wasn't additionally thinking about me, directly resolving the issue?"

As she murmured, Tina's eyes unwittingly moistened a bit, realizing she finally encountered someone she could rely on. More so, considering the contract with Wang Ye, it was the greatest fortune of her life.

However, just as she felt slightly moved, the situation before her took a turn for the worse.

Both Baoshu and Wang Ye confronted each other, rapidly closing in on Tanso Forest, seeking a deathmatch.
