1594 Kill Him Like Stepping on an Ant
“That’s right. You really do know about this array, Brother Chu,” Ye Qiushui said as she nodded. “In fact, Liang Ruicai isn’t the only one who built the Origin Energy Fusion Array. There were several other powerful masters behind him. They are even more powerful than Liang Ruicai. They built the Origin Energy Fusion Array and plundered the resources in the Violet Thunder Sword Domain to break through to the Core Stage.”
Chu Yunfan nodded, feeling enlightened. “But if that’s the case, why is Liang Ruicai the only one who came forward?” he asked in confusion.
“Because Liang Ruicai is the weakest among all of them. The others are all searching for the Violet Thunder Swords’ legacy and can’t spare any time to do this,” Ye Qiushui said.
...
“Liang Ruicai isn’t the only one who represents them. Now that you’ve killed Xiang Feiyun, Brother Chu, I’m afraid these people will notice you.”
Chu Yunfan thought these people probably didn’t care about the experts in the Violet Thunder Sword Domain. They regarded the experts here as ants. However, now that many experts, including Xiang Feiyun, had been killed by Chu Yunfan, it was hard to guarantee that these people would not feel that they were united against a common enemy.
In particular, these people were all extremely powerful. Liang Ruicai alone was at the late Golden Core Stage. In terms of combat strength, he was even stronger than Chu Yunfan. Although Chu Yunfan was confident in protecting himself, it was impossible for him to defeat Liang Ruicai. Not to mention the experts that Ye Qiushui mentioned were stronger than Liang Ruicai.
“It’s best we leave now,” Ye Qiushui said, “I came here on Sister Tang’s orders to bring you back to Grand Xia. As for the Violet Thunder Sword Domain, it’s only a matter of time before it falls. When that happens, this domain will become a part of Grand Xia’s territory.
“I’ve already arranged for people to receive us outside. When the time comes, as long as we set up a teleportation array near the barrier, we can teleport to Grand Xia. We don’t have to use the teleportation array of the imperial court’s army,” Ye Qiushui advised earnestly.
Chu Yunfan knew that Ye Qiushui was fully prepared. According to her, he should be able to leave the Violet Thunder Sword Domain as soon as possible and enter Grand Xia, just in time to avoid Li Qianyuan.
It was only a matter of time before the Violet Thunder Sword Domain lost its control. Against the powerful Grand Xia, the Violet Thunder Sword Domain had no chance of winning. The only thing that made Chu Yunfan feel slightly relieved was that Grand Xia did not intend to uproot the various forces in the Violet Thunder Sword Domain. Instead, they planned to bring them under their own rule.
In that case, it would not cause the lives of the people to be plunged into misery.
However, he was unwilling to leave so easily.
Chu Yunfan thought for a moment, then said, “We don’t have to be in a hurry to leave. There’s a huge opportunity in front of us now. How about it? Do you want to reach the Golden Core Stage?”
“The Golden Core Stage?” Ye Qiushui’s exquisite face changed. Her breathing began to become rapid, and her voluptuous chest heaved up and down.
How could she not want to reach the Golden Core Stage? That was a level that she dreamed of reaching. For people of their generation, except for freaks like Li Qianyuan, most of them were still struggling in the Core Stage. Being in the Golden Core Stage made them one of the best. To be able to step into the Golden Core Stage, even among fellow disciples, they would be far ahead.
However, although it sounded easy to advance from the half-step Golden Core Stage to the Golden Core Stage, in reality, who knew how many people were stuck at this stage. On the path of cultivation, there weren’t many times where one could be brave and advance. If they couldn’t make a breakthrough quickly at their age, then their future achievements would be limited. Breaking through even a day earlier was of great significance to them.
However, Ye Qiushui suddenly thought of something. She looked at Chu Yunfan and said, “Brother Chu, are you talking about the Origin Energy Fusion Array?”
Chu Yunfan smiled and nodded. “The array has been completed. The fused origin energy inside is a great supplement for cultivators. Now that the other masters are not here, and Liang Ruicai has come all the way here to kill me, it means that the array should be left empty. As long as Liang Ruicai is not personally guarding it, even if there is a martial artist like Xiang Feiyun, they will not be able to withstand a single blow from me. This is an unprecedented opportunity.
“As the saying goes, if you don’t take what the heavens give you, you will be in chaos.” Chu Yunfan’s eyes flashed. “Since Liang Ruicai wants to kill me, then I’ll cut off his roots. He wants to break through, right? I just have to cut off his chance.”
Ye Qiushui gasped. She knew that if this plan was successful, it would be a fatal blow to Liang Ruicai. He had racked his brains to think of a way to get to the Violet Thunder Sword Domain first so that he could set up the Origin Energy Fusion Array and use the fused origin energy to supplement his body so that he could break through to the peak of the Golden Core Stage or even one step further, the Transcendent Core Stage.
In their generation, only existences above the Transcendent Core Stage were qualified to be famous in the world and valued by the elders of a sect. That was a completely different world. Once Chu Yunfan seized the fused origin energy, he would become the target of public criticism. The experts would not let him off.
But on second thought, wasn’t he already the target of public criticism? Isn’t it still the same?
“But if we do that, I’m afraid we will have to fight Liang Ruicai to the death,” Ye Qiushui said worriedly.
“What’s there to be afraid of? When I snatch the fused origin energy and my cultivation advances, it’s hard to say who will kill who. When that time comes, I’ll kill him like stepping on an ant.” Chu Yunfan sneered.
Peerless geniuses were nothing in front of him, and he had killed more than one or two people who had surpassed his level.
“How about it? If you don’t dare to fight, then forget it,” Chu Yunfan said as he glanced at Ye Qiushui.
Ye Qiushui gulped. She knew that Chu Yunfan wanted to give her great fortune for Tang Siyu’s sake. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought her along. Stepping into the Golden Core Stage was a huge temptation for her. However, this temptation was a poison wrapped in sugar. Once she joined forces with Chu Yunfan, she would have to go against everyone else.
The risk was unimaginable.
After a while, she nodded solemnly and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Brother Chu. I’m willing to give it my all.”
“Good.” Chu Yunfan nodded in satisfaction and then disappeared with Ye Qiushui in a flash of light.
