Chapter 2070 - 2071: Be the Bad Guy Once! (Third Update)
Ye Qiu being able to block his attack demonstrates extraordinary strength; no wonder even a Semi-Saint came before, yet couldn’t protect the young Prince.
"Your skills are impressive, you’re a genius, but ultimately, you haven’t reached the Saint Realm. In my eyes, you’re still like an ant!"
Yang Tuo harbors contempt for Ye Qiu in his heart. In his view, as a native here, Ye Qiu is naturally inferior to him. He hails from the Ancestral Land, with ambitions to advance further on the Galactic Path. This planet, to him, is merely a training ground.
Yang Tuo possesses a strong sense of superiority, thus he sees this place as a game location for enhancing his strength.
As for killing, which might attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao, Yang Tuo has his own methods to evade its gaze.
"If I were to reach the Saint Realm, do you think you’d have the qualification to speak before me?" Ye Qiu replied calmly.
"Such arrogance, I’ve seen countless geniuses, but few as conceited as you." Yang Tuo said, not becoming angry, because as a Saint, why would he get angry with an ant?
Yet what followed was Ye Qiu’s sarcastic speech, which stirred waves in Yang Tuo’s tranquil heart.
"Yang Tuo... do you know what this name means in our hometown?" Ye Qiu suddenly asked.
Yang Tuo looked coldly at Ye Qiu, who continued, "In our place, Yang Tuo refers to an animal, scientifically named ’alpaca,’ colloquially known as ’grass mud horse.’
Those three characters sounded utterly abrasive, especially when Ye Qiu uttered them; although Yang Tuo couldn’t understand fully, he could sense Ye Qiu was insulting him.
"You seek death, I’ll grant it!" Yang Tuo pointed again, for Saints don’t easily suffer humiliation, especially from a mere native.
Ye Qiu raised his hand to block, suddenly, the air rippled.
Yang Tuo’s attack was intercepted by a suddenly appearing figure, Ye Qiu reluctantly lowered his hand, a look of interest appeared on his face, who was this person intentionally helping him?
Meanwhile, the imposing General was excited, and showing respect toward the imposing figure appearing, he clasped his fists and declared, "Greetings, respected Saint."
It seemed the General knew these figures. Since someone stepped out, he could temporarily halt his actions.
Unexpectedly, four figures appeared in the air, all at the Saint Realm level, rather than being alarmed, the General was joyful, indicating these individuals’ arrival wouldn’t worsen the situation.
One of the four figures said to Yang Tuo indifferently, "Are you unaware that persons of the Saint level are forbidden from interfering in royal conflicts?"
Suddenly facing four Saint-level Martial Artists, Yang Tuo’s initial arrogance vanished; before the Saint Alliance appeared, he could act recklessly, but upon being confronted by comparable existences, his demeanor changed immediately.
"Dear colleagues, it’s simply a personal vendetta between us, it can’t be considered meddling in the royal strife." Yang Tuo said.
"Is what he said true?" Instantly, all four gazes landed on Ye Qiu. Clearly, Yang Tuo didn’t want to acknowledge it and framed his actions against Ye Qiu as a personal duel. Even the Saint Alliance wouldn’t interfere based on this.
After reaching the Saint Realm, one is granted a chance to settle past grievances.
The General was immediately indignant; Yang Tuo clearly came to destroy the formidable city, but now claims it as a private feud, immediately wanting to interject, yet one of the Saints glanced at the General and said, "We wish to hear him, not you."
Thus, everyone turned to Ye Qiu, who smiled and replied, "He’s right, we do indeed have a personal feud."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tuo coldly smiled within, his earlier threats seemingly effective. Just moments ago, he had transmitted to Ye Qiu that if he followed Yang Tuo’s narrative, Yang Tuo might spare him.
The General and Hong Luan were baffled; how did Ye Qiu end up having a personal feud with Yang Tuo?
"Ye, is this true? These are esteemed members of the Saint Alliance; you have no need to fear that fellow. Just tell the truth, these revered individuals will surely grant us fairness." The General said to Ye Qiu.
He was genuinely puzzled; Yang Tuo came aiming to save the young Prince, how did it suddenly become a personal feud? Surely it’s a hastily concocted lie, but why cooperate with Yang Tuo?
Hong Luan also urged Ye Qiu to reveal the truth.
Ye Qiu didn’t elaborate with them, instead addressing the four Saints, "I indeed have a personal feud with him, this is no lie. However..."
"Let me detail how the enmity arose: at the time, I was training, when a boom resounded, startling me. This person crashed down from the sky, then he bombarded me with a torrent of questions about this world. Initially, I answered some, but later, this fellow, for reasons unknown, wanted to kill me. I fled, pitifully my master tried to block him for me and was slain. Now, he wants to kill me." Ye Qiu feigned sorrow and said.
Initially, the four Saints didn’t pay much attention, but as they listened further, they discerned many layered messages. They promptly moved closer and said, "You state he asked many questions about this world?"
"Indeed, he seemed utterly ignorant. I was then perplexed; with his capabilities, he should’ve already joined the Saint Alliance, right? Yet why does he lack basic knowledge?" Ye Qiu continued.
Gradually, all four Saints directed their gazes toward Yang Tuo.
Ye Qiu’s narrative was quite pointed, almost exposing Yang Tuo as an outsider.
Yang Tuo glanced at Ye Qiu, then at the four Saints, realizing he was outmaneuvered by Ye Qiu. What Ye Qiu described he hadn’t done at all; it was entirely Ye Qiu’s fabrication.
More concerning was the apparent belief of the four Saints.
"Almighty ones, he’s fabricating! You mustn’t believe him!" Yang Tuo pleaded, simultaneously glaring at Ye Qiu, "Why are you lying; I haven’t killed your master, you’re falsely accusing me!"
Yet Ye Qiu turned a deaf ear, instead reminding the Saints, "Honored ones, your Saint Alliance should have special emblems to verify identity, right? If he claims I’m lying, why not let him prove it?"
After speaking, a cunning glint flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes.
He deliberately stated it that way, thus ensuring he needn’t intervene, leaving the four Saints to act.
He needn’t expose his strength, continuing to mask his identity.
Previously, he saw these four, though unbeknownst to them, it was he who observed them when he first arrived on this planet; those were the very Saints.
He now signaled to these four, hinting Yang Tuo was an outsider. Naturally, they wouldn’t go easy on Yang Tuo.
Watching them encircle Yang Tuo, Ye Qiu knew he had succeeded; Yang Tuo couldn’t prove his membership in the Saint Alliance, and was on the verge of fleeing.
However, such an act further cemented his status as an outsider in the four Saints’ minds.
"Hmph, turns out he’s an outsider, thus doomed to perish!"
The four Saints instantly made their moves.
