On the Cusp of the Storm
Chu Xingyun's face was filled with helplessness, causing Lin Tianchong to abruptly stop in his tracks.
"Senior Lin's injuries are still in the process of healing. Although he does possess a certain amount of strength, it's extremely difficult for him to defeat someone in the Yin Yang Realm. The slightest carelessness will cause him to die from internal injuries.
"Not to mention, apart from Wu Jing Xue, there's also the three thousand Jingtian Army. This ferocious army is all in the Earth Spirit Realm, and their killing intent can cover the night sky. They also possess terrifying battle strength."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun felt even more helpless. This time, he'd completely miscalculated. He hadn't expected that Wu Jing Xue would be able to step into the Yin Yang Realm and possess such terrifying strength.
One had to know that cultivators who stepped into the Yin Yang Realm would have Yin and Yang within their bodies, gradually forming a trace of the power of the heavens and earth.
With this trace of the power of the heavens and earth, the cultivator would be able to gradually comprehend the mysteries of the heavens and earth and turn it into their own. Their every action would be filled with boundless power, far surpassing the Sky Spirit Realm.
Simply put, the Yin Yang Realm was a threshold. As long as one stepped past it, they would be able to comprehend the mysteries of the heavens and earth and possess all sorts of abilities. Their battle strength would experience a qualitative leap.
With Lin Tianchong's current state, it was too risky to fight Wu Jing Xue. There was no guarantee that he'd win.
"Then according to you, are you going to submit to Wu Jing Xue?" Lin Tianchong said with a trace of anger.
Chu Xingyun shook his head, "Wu Jing Xue is my enemy. How could I submit to him? However, I don't have complete confidence in the current situation. The best way is to stall for time and unravel the secret of Wu Jing Xue's cultivation."
In the past, when Wu Jing Xue had led the army back to the Imperial City, Chu Xingyun had sensed an extremely obscure and cold aura hidden within Wu Jing Xue's body.
Chu Xingyun could not see through this aura, but he could vaguely sense something strange about it.
But now, Wu Jing Xue had suddenly revealed his Yin-Yang realm cultivation. The cold and gloomy aura on his body was no longer concealed. Instead, it became even more intense, almost filling his entire body.
According to Chu Xingyun, this aura must be the secret to Wu Jing Xue's cultivation!
"Father!"
As Chu Xingyun was immersed in his thoughts, Wu Teng's icy voice was heard all of a sudden.
Wu Teng stood up, raised his head, and respectfully said to Wu Jing Xue, "You are the Liuyun Monarch. Everything that belongs to the Liuyun Dynasty will belong to you. As long as you say the word, all the Chambers of Commerce will kneel and submit to you."
"However …"
Wu Teng's expression suddenly froze. He looked at Chu Xingyun with a complacent expression and said fiercely, "This Chu Xingyun is full of tricks. In just half a year, he has swallowed up all the Chambers of Commerce and almost caused the Yunmeng Martial House to decline. This kid is a scourge. If I let him live, there will be no end of trouble in the future!"
As he spoke, Wu Teng's expression became even more complacent and arrogant. The hatred on his body was no longer concealed and was released without restraint, oppressing Chu Xingyun.
Wu Teng and Chu Xingyun had not known each other for a long time. It had only been a few days.
But in these few days, Wu Teng had lost twice to Chu Xingyun. The first time, he had lost the Iron Peak Nation's national treasure. The second time, he had lost two million Spiritual Stones. He had lost all his face and was treated as a laughing stock by everyone.
Wu Teng had been enduring this hatred. He did not dare to fall out with Chu Xingyun, fearing that it would affect Wu Jing Xue's overall plan.
But at this moment, Wu Jing Xue had already killed Tang Zheng and became the Liuyun King. He had complete control over the Liuyun Dynasty.
As the only son of Wu Jing Xue, Wu Teng was now the Crown Prince. His status was extremely high and he naturally did not have any scruples. He did not care about a mere Chu Xingyun.
"Moreover, the incident seventeen years ago caused an indelible hatred between Father and Chu Xingyun. With this kid's vengeful personality, he will definitely not let this matter rest. It would be better to kill him now and eliminate all future troubles!"
Wu Teng added, once again pushing Chu Xingyun into the teeth of the storm.
Hearing this, Wu Jing Xue was finally moved.
In the beginning, he felt that Chu Xingyun was a promising talent. If he could completely control him, he would definitely be able to bring him great wealth in the future. But when the incident seventeen years ago was brought up, Wu Jing Xue's love for talent completely dissipated.
Seventeen years ago, the Ancient Star Sect suddenly descended on the Liuyun Dynasty. Wu Jing Xue did not hesitate and immediately chose to side with them. According to the Ancient Star Sect's orders, he killed many people and even massacred the people of the Chu Clan.
After that incident, Wu Jing Xue gained many benefits and became even more powerful. He commanded the Jingtian Army and was invincible. He could easily destroy a kingdom.
Over time, he forgot about Chu Xingyun, the orphan.
When Wu Jing Xue returned to the Imperial City and heard about the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild, he suddenly realized that the orphan had become a genius and owned such a huge merchant guild.
"Teng 'er is right. The hatred of leaving his mother and killing his father can't be washed away even with all the water in the world. Even if he is willing to surrender, he will still be a great threat!" Wu Jingxue thought to himself. His eyes were filled with a cold murderous intent.
"Imperial Father, I'll do it right now. I'll cut off this brat's head so that you won't be worried." Sensing Wu Jingxue's killing intent, Wu Teng was overjoyed. He directly pounced toward Chu Xingyun.
The killing intent in his heart was so strong that it almost overwhelmed his rationality. His mind was filled with thoughts of cutting off Chu Xingyun's head and washing away all the humiliation he had suffered.
"What a beast!" Chu Xingyun also sensed Wu Jing Xue's killing intent. He glared at Wu Teng and thought of a way to stabilize the situation.
When Wu Teng saw that Chu Xingyun was not moving, he thought that Chu Xingyun had completely given up. He laughed arrogantly and said malevolently, "Chu Xingyun, weren't you very proud just now? Why are you dumbstruck now and can't even say a word?"
"However, you can rest assured that after I kill you, I won't let anyone related to you go. They will all die. I understand the principle of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots better than anyone else."
His words were like needles, causing Chu Xingyun's gaze to tremble. He suddenly raised his head and no longer had any thoughts in his eyes. Instead, they became extremely cold, like the cold wind of eternity.
"Teng 'er, back off quickly!" Wu Jing Xue seemed to have sensed something. When he spoke, a surge of Heaven and Earth Energy condensed and blocked between Chu Xingyun and Wu Teng.
However, just as this surge of Heaven and Earth Energy appeared, an ancient cauldron flashing with azure light suddenly appeared in the void. The cauldron spun and a surge of Heaven and Earth Energy gushed out from it.
Boom!
The two surges of Heaven and Earth Energy collided and a frenzied wind swept out, causing the entire space to be filled with the sound of breaking air.
This sudden change made Wu Teng panic. He frantically retreated, but his gaze was still fixed in front of him. He said in a vicious tone, "Chu Xingyun, you actually dare to resist when death is at hand. Not only will I kill you, but I will also tear you into pieces so that you will never be able to …"
Before he finished speaking, a sword shadow suddenly appeared in Wu Teng's vision.
