Chapter 2247 - 2248: Yao and Ye! Fourth Update
"How arrogant, wanting to strike as soon as you step in here. Aren’t you disregarding the rules too much?"
Before Ye Qiu’s palm could descend, a faint voice was heard.
Ye Qiu wasn’t in a hurry to deal with Dugu Qing. His gaze fell in the direction of the voice.
Two young men approached, dressed in black and white, respectively.
Judging by their appearance, they looked very similar, possibly brothers.
"Dugu Yao, Dugu Ye!"
The surrounding people called out the names of the two arrivals.
Like Dugu Qing, these two were geniuses from the Dugu lineage in this small world. In terms of strength, they were even stronger than Dugu Qing. Especially when the two brothers teamed up, they were nearly invincible among their peers.
"Dugu Qing, you’re so useless, can’t take a hit, defeated so quickly, truly embarrassing," Dugu Yao and Dugu Ye said in unison, looking at Dugu Qing.
Dugu Qing wanted to get angry, but the Dugu brothers continued, "But it’s alright. This newcomer is beyond you, so we can teach him a lesson as revenge for you. Remember to thank us brothers."
Ultimately, Dugu Qing held it in. He knew the strength of Dugu Yao and Ye. If they could defeat Ye Qiu, he’d be happy to see it. If not, it wouldn’t just be him who would be embarrassed.
So no matter who won, it was the result he wanted to see.
"You two fight. It’s best if both parties are injured," Dugu Qing thought.
The Dugu brothers didn’t pay much attention to Dugu Qing. At that moment, in their eyes, Dugu Qing was irrelevant; they never considered him important.
They were more concerned about Ye Qiu.
Ever since Ye Qiu stepped in here yesterday, talk about Xuan Ye had spread in the small world, making all the Dugu geniuses want to see this talent valued by Xuan Ye’s ancestor.
Because Xuan Ye had a high opinion of Ye Qiu, every genius in the small world wanted to spar with Ye Qiu.
Dugu Qing was the first to challenge him, and sadly, he was defeated outright.
His method to prove himself by defeating Ye Qiu had failed.
But the Dugu lineage doesn’t represent all geniuses; there are more powerful ones, like the brothers Dugu Yao and Dugu Ye before him.
"We’ve heard of your exploits. Not bad, worthy of being called a genius. But you still fall short compared to us. Without Ge Tian’s legacy, you wouldn’t be here today. Your ability to reach this place is all thanks to Ge Tian’s legacy. The treasure of Ge Tian doesn’t show its full power in your hands. I advise you to give it to us. That way it can reach its peak power. You wouldn’t want the Dugu lineage to continue living in the shadows, would you?"
To Ye Qiu’s surprise, these brothers were even more shameless than Dugu Qing, aiming for his legendary treasure.
"Heh..." Ye Qiu chuckled. Arrogant, self-important people, thinking themselves superior, exist everywhere, even within the Dugu clan.
Ye Qiu pitied the Dugu clan; if everyone in the lineage were like this, they should forget about restoring their past glory.
"Are you laughing at what we said?" The faces of the Dugu brothers showed some displeasure.
"I’m pitying the Dugu clan. So the past decline had no reason," Ye Qiu said indifferently.
"What did you say!"
Ye Qiu’s words were like a dagger, stabbing the brothers painfully. The decline of the Dugu clan is a painful memory for all clan members. Ye Qiu attributed the reason to them, implying that they caused the clan’s downfall.
No Dugu descendant wants to accept such blame.
"Are you saying we’re a curse to the Dugu clan? Kid, don’t think you can act recklessly with Ge Tian’s legacy. Without it, you are nothing!"
"Exactly, without Ge Tian’s techniques or treasure, what are you? I could beat you with one hand."
The Dugu brothers belittled Ye Qiu, believing his ability to repeatedly evade the deadly threats of ancestors was thanks to Ge Tian’s legacy. Hence, they spoke dismissively.
Honestly, their words weren’t entirely wrong but were rather absolute.
Treasure depends on the user. They excessively underestimated Ye Qiu, thinking he’s strong due to external aids, looking down on him. Little did they know Ye Qiu’s efforts far surpassed theirs.
"How about we make a wager?"
Ye Qiu’s character isn’t one to swallow humiliation. Ever since reaching the Supreme Saint level, he refused to be submissive.
Now, being underestimated by the Dugu Yao and Ye brothers, Ye Qiu didn’t mind letting them face reality.
Those delicate flowers in a greenhouse could never compare to me.
In Ye Qiu’s eyes, these young geniuses living in the small world, maintaining the Dugu clan’s pride, were merely showy without substance.
Even with high cultivation, what does it matter? In terms of the application of power and combat skills, they can’t compare to him.
"How do we wager?"
"I won’t use any of Ge Tian’s legacy. If you two lose, I won’t kill you. But in the future, you must bow and avoid me," Ye Qiu said.
"Alright," the brothers agreed in one voice, "But what if you lose?"
"I’ll give Ge Tian’s legacy to you two," Ye Qiu said indifferently.
"Are you serious?" Ye Qiu’s words made the Dugu brothers elated. Although they spoke dismissively before, they coveted Ge Tian’s legacy. It’s a treasure that drove the entire ancestral land into a frenzy.
If they truly win against Ye Qiu, they’d gain Ge Tian’s legacy and treasure, making it like adding wings to a tiger. They’d surely lead the Dugu lineage back to glory.
"Absolutely," Ye Qiu replied.
"Good, you said it yourself. Don’t go back on it." The brothers reaffirmed, afraid Ye Qiu might retract his words.
"Once spoken, it’s irrevocable."
"Alright, we agree to wager with you."
Those surrounding were somewhat dumbstruck, wagering Ge Tian’s legacy just like that?
Dugu Qing clenched his fist, his expression a bit unpleasant. While he wished to see both sides fight, wagering Ge Tian’s legacy displeased him. If there was to be a bet, it should be him betting.
He seemed to forget that even if Ye Qiu bet with him, he wasn’t Ye Qiu’s match.
"Come, which of us brothers do you wish to fight first?" The Dugu brothers asked.
Ye Qiu’s expression remained unchanged, "I want to get this over with quickly. You two should come at me together!"
Upon saying this, another wave of astonishment spread among the crowd.
