Chapter 478: Equally Domineering
Upon hearing the woman’s words, Ye Wushuang’s gaze turned cold—terrifyingly so.
’Lan Xinyu only spoke up for me out of indignation, and for that, this woman wants to make her pay by disfiguring and killing her. The audacity!’
"It’s not just her. You’re not qualified either. Resist, and you die!"
The woman’s eyes were venomous. With a jolt of her palm, a surging wave of True Essence flooded into the Sword Body. The Treasure Sword suddenly erupted with a terrifying, murderous aura.
BOOM!
The woman lunged forward, twisting her Treasure Sword. She first aimed to sever Ye Wushuang’s fingers, then slash at his neck—a merciless, lethal strike.
"What a venomous woman. Are you the only one allowed to contradict others, while no one is allowed to contradict you?!"
Ye Wushuang’s eyes were the very definition of cold. With a flick of his two fingers, a powerful force rippled out. CLANG! The terrifying power knocked the Sword Body off its course.
"You’re courting death!" Thwarted again, the woman grew even more furious. She swept her Treasure Sword, the flickering Sword Light sending a chill down the spine.
A blast of Sword Qi surged forth, slashing toward Ye Wushuang. Terrifying energy, concentrated within the Sword Qi, held devastating Killing Power.
"A mere Spiritual Spring Eighth Layer, yet so full of yourself. Scram!"
A disdainful sneer crossed Ye Wushuang’s face. ’Just the Spiritual Spring Eighth Layer. I can crush her with one hand!’
BOOM!
He took a step forward, and a golden fist shot out, crashing toward the Treasure Sword like a small golden mountain. The terrifying Fist Force raged, carrying an air of grim, domineering might that made the very air tremble.
The eyes of the onlookers trembled as they stared intently.
"Young Miss, be careful!"
The middle-aged man shouted a warning. In a flash, he crossed the space to appear before the woman and thrust a palm at Ye Wushuang. A powerful surge of the Power of Rebirth, like a tidal wave, washed over Ye Wushuang, threatening to engulf him.
The Power of Rebirth!
Sensing this immense power, the crowd felt as if their own life force was about to be extinguished. Their expressions changed, and they backed away.
Without a doubt, the middle-aged man was a Yin Yang Realm expert!
"You can scram, too!"
Ye Wushuang spat the words coldly and took another step forward. His other hand shot out, unleashing golden True Essence like a vast ocean as a dragon’s roar echoed.
BOOM!
No matter how strong the Power of Rebirth was, it was blasted apart by this surging energy. The golden True Essence slammed fiercely into the middle-aged man.
CRACK!
The sound of cracking bone rang out abruptly. The crowd’s gaze locked on as the middle-aged man spat blood and was sent flying.
The woman was also startled. She hastily retreated, hacking at Ye Wushuang with one sword strike after another.
Vanish!
Ye Wushuang straightened up and slammed his palm down. The Sword Auras burst like bubbles, and the terrifying energy struck the woman. Her body trembled, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"So strong!"
Watching Ye Wushuang defeat a Spiritual Spring Eighth Layer and a Yin Yang Realm expert with a mere wave of his hand, the crowd’s eyes trembled. Such power was truly terrifying.
"You... you injured me!"
The woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her face flashing with a venomous expression.
"Idiot. You were trying to kill me. Am I not allowed to injure you?"
Ye Wushuang said coldly. ’She’s allowed to kill Lan Xinyu, she’s allowed to kill me, Ye Wushuang, but I’m not allowed to injure her? Isn’t that laughable?’
The middle-aged man struggled to his feet, watching Ye Wushuang with wary eyes. To be defeated so easily... this man’s strength was terrifying. He radiated an extreme sense of threat.
"You’d better kneel and apologize. Otherwise, you will pay the price."
The young woman steadied herself, her expression dark.
In the Holy City, no one had ever dared to attack her, and no one had dared to curse her. But now, Ye Wushuang had not only injured her, but he had also cursed her in front of everyone!
"Brain-dead!"
Ye Wushuang spat out two more words, making the crowd’s eyelids twitch.
BOOM!
Ye Wushuang stepped forward, unleashing a wild and sharp aura.
"A price? You already tried to make me pay once, but sadly, your strength was insufficient. In the face of absolute power, all you can do is run your mouth. For a useless piece of trash like you, I have to ask: what gives you the right?"
As he spoke, Ye Wushuang thrust out a palm. The terrifying and violent energy pressed down, making hearts palpitate.
The woman’s expression changed as well.
"You dare!"
The middle-aged man roared and threw a punch at Ye Wushuang with all his might. Everyone present felt its terrifying power.
"If someone wants to take my life, I’ll be the one to make them bleed first. Why wouldn’t I dare?"
Ye Wushuang retorted coldly and advanced again. The eighty-one Qi Vortexes in his body erupted, and blazing golden True Essence surged out, directly sending the middle-aged man flying.
Seeing the middle-aged man sent flying, the woman’s expression froze, and a flicker of fear appeared on her face.
"Now that your support is gone, tell me, where is your ’right’ now?"
Ye Wushuang’s gaze sharpened. He took another thunderous step forward, cloaked in an Emperor’s aura. The terrifying pressure bore down directly on the woman.
The woman’s face grew pale, and she was forced back several steps. Pointing a finger at Ye Wushuang, she stammered, "You..."
"Answer me. What gives you the right?"
Ye Wushuang’s eyes shot out a cold glint as he stared directly at the woman.
He normally disliked being so aggressive, but this woman was too vicious. At the slightest disagreement, she resorted to killing—trying to kill Lan Xinyu, trying to kill him.
Ye Wushuang was no saint. How could he let someone kill him? Since he wouldn’t, he could only strike back.
"Do... do you know who I am?" Facing Ye Wushuang’s domineering advance, the woman’s eyes narrowed. She was furious. In the Imperial City, no one had ever pushed her to this point.
It had always been her pressuring others. Now, facing the man before her, she felt just how insignificant she was. He seemed even more tyrannical than she, leaving her with the humiliating feeling of being at his mercy, like an animal on a chopping block.
Hearing the young woman’s words, the crowd’s eyes narrowed. They all realized she must have a powerful background; otherwise, she wouldn’t have a Yin Yang Realm guard or act with such arrogance and aggression.
"I don’t care who you are!"
But Ye Wushuang closed in again, saying coldly, "Only those who rely on power use their family background to bully others, to criticize them, to belittle them, to slap them whenever they please. But without your family’s status, you’re nothing but a useless piece of trash. How many people could belittle you then? How many could slap you whenever they pleased?!"
"Are you saying you want to slap me?"
The woman sneered, fearless. No one had ever dared to slap her.
"It seems you’re even dumber than I thought."
"Just as you said, without strength, you have no right to say certain things. If you say them, you must pay the price. You threatened my life, so it is only right that I make you pay!"
Ye Wushuang flashed forward, closing the distance to the woman, and raised his hand.
