Chapter 2151: The Confrontation
Since Muyun Shu had initiated the attack, the cultivators from the Nanhai family stood ready in full battle array. They emitted the will might from their bodies to intimidate the enemies.
Black Wind Condor was surprised that Muyun Shu rushed over right away. He always detested Muyun Shu for his arrogance and impudence. Now that he had a chance to teach the boy a lesson, he clawed at him and bellowed, “Little b*stard, you’re in over your head.”
A striking Golden-Winged Giant Peng Bird slammed into a sharp, black claw in midair and made a thundering noise. The magnificent Picture of the Domineering Golden Peng Bird popped up at once behind Muyun Shu’s back. He dashed directly at Black Wind Condor in a flash.
Black Wind Condor was not afraid of a boy, of course. He immediately spread his black wings, which blotted out the sun and stirred up a crazy whirlwind.
The Golden-Winged Giant Peng Bird and Black Wind Condor came into collision in the sky. Black Wind Condor’s razor-sharp claws tore through space and ripped up the shadow of the Golden-Winged Giant Peng Bird. He aimed straight at Muyun Shu’s head.
Muyun Shu was born in Four Corner Village with the innate energy of the Great Path and was taught by the master in the village for years. Therefore, he had a unique cultivation journey and was much better than most of his peers. Nevertheless, he was still too young to withstand Black Wind Condor’s attack.
“How dare you!” Just when Muyun Shu was about to be torn apart by Black Wind Condor’s claws, a wild explosion of energy erupted. A giant hand smacked at them like a crashing wave and transformed into an overwhelming mass of shadows.
Bang! Black Wind Condor was thrust back with a loud noise, and he could barely maintain his balance. Muyun Shu was also swept back by the shockwave. He was forced back and vomited a mouthful of blood. Nonetheless, the injury didn’t seem to bother him. He glared at Ye Futian and Black Wind Condor defiantly as though everything was part of his plan.
Muyun Shu was not stupid. He was well aware that Black Wind Condor was a Demon Emperor and way out of his league. He didn’t have the ability to kill Ye Futian without any help. Knowing that Ye Futian’s reputation had spread to the Upper Nine Heavens, Muyun Shu had to set the Nanhai family against him to get rid of him by their hands.
Despite his young age, Muyun Shu was a devious and calculating person.
“Kill this vile beast,” Muyun Shu ordered in a cold voice. The sixth-order Renhuang, who intervened just now, darted a hesitant glance at Black Wind Condor. However, he still raised his hand to attack since Muyun Shu was injured by Black Wind Condor.
All of a sudden, a beam of blinding thunder light shot out like blazes. The sixth-order Renhuang lifted his arm to defend himself when he saw the Giant Palm of Thunder God blasting at him from above. The giant palm was engraved with patterns of the Thunder God, and the dazzling divine light of the Great Path of Thunder flooded the area.
Crash…
In an instant, the vast land was illuminated by the glaring light of thunder, and even the void was almost shattered and destroyed. When the two hands came into collision, the sixth-order Renhuang wasn’t blown away by the blast. Instead, he was struck by lightning. His badly charred body shivered while falling from the sky, and even his hair all stood on end. It was such a ghastly scene.
Beigong Ao retreated to his original place behind Ye Futian and the others. He showed some mercy in his strike and didn’t take the sixth-order Renhuang’s life right away. After all, he didn’t know what Ye Futian intended to do. In the meantime, he had to fight back with a solid blow to demonstrate their strength when they were under attack.
“How dare you assault cultivators from the Nanhai family! You have some nerve!” Muyun Shu roared in anger. However, he didn’t even dart a glance at the wounded Renhuang. Not only did he not care about his injury at all, but he was also hoping that he died on the spot. In that case, the Nanhai family would wage war against Ye Futian straight away.
Ye Futian’s brows knitted slightly. Muyun Shu was an arrogant and nasty bully when he was living in the village. He even attempted to kill Tie Tou. Ye Futian was sick to see him behaving in the same way still. Besides, Muyun Shu was not an ignorant teenager anymore. Without a doubt, he was deliberately causing hostility between Ye Futian and the Nanhai family.
“Little bastard, didn’t your parents teach you some manners?” Chen Yi also felt repugnance toward Muyun Shu. He had never seen such a vicious and impudent young man.
“Somehow, you’re still so egotistical even without the protection of Four Corner Village. Just wait until I finish you off. I will grill that beast for dinner and kill the others slowly,” Muyun Shu glanced over them and said, “This woman is not bad looking. We can keep her a little longer to have some fun.”
Xia Qingyuan’s expression changed upon hearing Muyun Shu’s rude words. Her eyes became frosty and were filled with malice.
Muyun Shu insulted and humiliated them one by one.
“Little bastard.” Beigong Ao took a brief look at Ye Futian and stepped forward again. The thunder light engulfed the sky in the blink of an eye. However, another powerful Renhuang behind Muyun Shu also stepped up. He unleashed terrifying energy to shield Muyun Shu from the thunder light.
A chilly breeze circled Ye Futian as he focused his icy and piercing gaze on Muyun Shu. In an instant, Muyun Shu felt like he was drowning in icy water without the ability to save himself. He uttered a terrified yelp.
“How dare you!” The powerful cultivator from the Nanhai family walked over to Muyun Shu and blocked Ye Futian’s gaze. As he raised his arm, millions of divine swords appeared in the sky above. Then, the divine swords plummeted when he made a downward gesture with his hand. They were transformed into a terrifying sword river and flooded the area.
Blind Tie came forward in heavy and forceful steps. With a thundering boom, he raised his hand and blocked the path of the sword river. The swords made a series of sharp whistling sounds and were halted midway down from the sky.
Blind Tie’s hand abruptly closed into a tight ball, and the sword river disintegrated and dissolved instantaneously. He turned to face Muyun Shu and the others. His blindness didn’t stop him from expressing his deep-seated detestation of them.
“Muyun Shu, you’re a disgrace to Four Corner Village.” Blind Tie’s stony and throaty voice reverberated throughout the area.
The cultivators from the ancient royal family of Duan had been watching quietly from the side. They knew that there had always been bad blood between the Muyun family and the rest of Four Corner Village. It seemed that the Nanhai family was bound to get involved as well.
Although Muyun Shu was ready for a battle here and now, the Nanhai family was at a disadvantage at this moment since their key figures were not present.
At this point, a burst of intense energy arrived on the scene. Everyone looked up in that direction and heard an arrogant voice, “Since when can a blind imbecile comment on members of the Muyun family?”
“Brother, they want to kill me,” Muyun Shu recognized the voice and hurried to trump up a charge against his adversaries. The incoming person was indeed Muyun Lan, the most extraordinary cultivator of the Muyun family and the current son-in-law of the Nanhai family.
A beautiful woman was by his side. With her gorgeous face, flawless skin, and effortless elegance, she looked like a Goddess who could only be revered from afar. She was Nanhai Qianxue — the precious daughter of the Nanhai family and Muyun Lan’s wife.
The couple marched over in long strides. Everyone could feel their intimidating presence even before they came near the scene. Muyun Lan, in particular, radiated confidence and danger. His eyes glowed with golden light and his penetrating gaze riveted on Ye Futian and the others.
More powerful cultivators from the Nanhai family were following Muyun Lan and Nanhai Qianxue. It was an impressive assembly.
The Domain Chief’s Manor also summoned the Nanhai family to go to the Shangqing Continent. They passed by the Cangyuan Continent and made a quick stop like everyone else, which led to everything that had happened so far.
In a short while, Muyun Lan stopped in the sky above the crowd and looked down at Ye Futian and the others.
Ye Futian stared back at him. Needless to say, Muyun Shu was trying to stir up trouble with his false accusation. Muyun Shu might be a young man, yet he was no less cunning than an experienced old fox. He deliberately drove a wedge between Ye Futian and the Nanhai family to instigate his elder brother Muyun Lan and the Nanhai family to kill Ye Futian.
A lot of people who came from other groups were watching the drama unfold from far away.
The cultivators from Four Corner Village and the ancient royal family of Duan were standing behind Ye Futian, who newly rose to fame, while Muyun Lan and the powerful Nanhai family from the Upper Third Heaven were on the other side.
“Blind Tie, I don’t want to make things difficult for you considering that we are both natives of Four Corner Village. Apologize to Muyun Shu and back off. I won’t take your offense to heart,” Muyun Lan looked out on the crowd and declared in an overbearing tone.
He commanded Blind Tie to apologize and pull back. Obviously, he was ready to take action against Ye Futian.
“Muyun Lan, you have cultivated for too long in the Outer Realms. Since you have forgotten who you are and where you came from, there is no need for you to refer to the village incessantly. Muyun Shu is a grown-up now. I let him off in the past because of his young age. But he only became more insolent. If you don’t smack him and ask him to apologize today, it will leave me no choice but to teach him a lesson myself. Don’t blame me for showing him no mercy,” Blind Tie hurled back at Muyun Lan. He stood upright in a dignified manner, not flinching at all.
Muyun Lan was a well-known cultivator, but so was Blind Tie. They were both eighth-order Renhuangs with the perfect Great Path. Apart from the master cultivators, other people could hardly be a match for either of them.
“Brother, this blind imbecile was extremely disrespectful to father and had a hand in pushing our family out of Four Corner Village. Since we ran into him here, we should kill him now,” Muyun Shu said bluntly. He was desperate to massacre everyone in cold blood.
Muyun Lan’s face grew stern upon hearing Muyun Shu’s words. Golden divine light shone from the sky as he moved downward. Almost instantly, the entire area lay bathed in the glaring light. Blind Tie wasn’t afraid at all. He stepped forward and struck back with overwhelming power. Although he couldn’t see himself, he still looked like an invincible war god in other people’s eyes.
