Chapter 460: 0461 Awakening of Insects (Brother, you work hard every day!)

A martial artist standing at the pinnacle of True Qi was publicly executed!

This scene shocked everyone’s mind. Even though Fujikawa Ueno was from the island nation, he was, after all, a grandmaster and a long-established expert. However, he met his demise in a challenge against Ye Qiu, unable to withstand defeat.

The entire battlefield fell silent, quiet as death, until Qian Zhen Daoist announced ’Ye Qiu wins’, and then a chorus of cheers erupted from among the martial artists.

With his fierce and dominant moves, Ye Qiu completely eradicated the provocations of Jiu Zang and Fujikawa Ueno, thoroughly making a name for himself. It was a genuine battle that proved Ye Qiu’s strength, and the criticisms about not returning to tally up merit points before fell completely silent.

The fact proved that Ye Qiu was not just daring to return and hence only obtaining the identity of the tenth owl; his actual strength could definitely vie for the top rank. His absence before must have been due to a formidable enemy.

Many who had doubted Ye Qiu didn’t dare to make a sound anymore, such as Meng Pengxiao, who was soulless and speechless for a long time. Ye Qiu, having consecutively killed Jiu Zang and Fujikawa Ueno under everyone’s gaze, had sufficiently demonstrated his terrifying strength.

Even if Meng Pengxiao had fully understood the martial skills from the Wall of Martial Arts, he wouldn’t dare claim he could kill an older expert like Fujikawa Ueno. Yet, Ye Qiu did, and Meng Pengxiao’s previously arrogant words and mockery towards Ye Qiu were now hard to voice.

However, Meng Pengxiao still felt discontent towards Ye Qiu in his heart. By defeating both Jiu Zang and Fujikawa Ueno, Ye Qiu had unquestionably stood out. Now in the martial community, there was probably no one who didn’t know of him. But so what? He was just a guy with no background, and the two people Ye Qiu had killed were islanders. Behind them, there would be even stronger beings, naturally setting their sights on Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu, don’t get too proud. The shackles of True Qi are not so easy to break through. When the island nation’s experts come knocking, I’d like to see how you hide. That Gushan Baiyi is one of the island nation’s top experts. Your level of strength is ultimately no match for him." Meng Pengxiao sneered secretly, although his face showed no expression, his mood improved significantly because of this.

A challenge initiated by Jiu Zang and Fujikawa Ueno thus ended, and Ye Qiu stood quietly in the center of the arena, attracting more attention than Huangfu Jun and the other ten owls.

"Ye Qiu, although you won this challenge, by killing two experts from the island nation, you have now put yourself at the forefront of controversy. Are you psychologically prepared for it?" Qian Zhen Daoist inquired.

"I killed them, so I killed them. If the island nation can’t accept it, they can come challenge me; I shall accept the challenges as they come!" Ye Qiu stood there like a straight flagpole, and though not particularly tall, his words thundered, revealing endless dominance, as if he was an unsheathed blade glinting sharply.

"Good, worthy of being one of the finest young martial artists of our Huaxia. You don’t need to worry about the retaliation from the island country. Anyone wanting to challenge our martial community must be ready to be killed. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s because their island nation’s martial artists are inferior. Even if that Gushan Baiyi comes to Huaxia, we won’t just stand by and watch him tackle you," said Qian Zhen Daoist earnestly.

Ye Qiu bowed in respect: "Thank you, elder."

Ye Qiu felt quite grateful for Qian Zhen Daoist’s words; at least this kind old man had spoken for him and stood up for him, deserving respect.

"Youngster Ye Qiu, I, Chen Yifeng, also promise here and now that if those islanders try to bully the weaker or harm others in the darkness, I will be the first to not allow it," Chen Yifeng spoke up immediately.

"The same goes for me, Wang Hutang."

"Should the island nation’s people engage in fair combat, I have nothing to say, but if they resort to other underhanded schemes against brother Ye Qiu, I, Ren Hesheng, will not stand idly by," Ren Hesheng declared.

Seeing many of the elders from the southern martial arts community speaking up, Ye Qiu thanked each of them in turn, feeling warmth in his heart.

Such a scene ignited the blood and spirit of the surrounding martial artists, and they unanimously stood up for Ye Qiu.

"Those who offend our Huaxia, even if distant, will be pursued and punished!"

"Those who trouble China, no matter how far, shall be executed!"

At that moment, only Meng Pengxiao was sneering, "Even if someone has your back, what of it? These senior martial artists won’t be there to protect you every day. In the end, you’ll have to face the fury of the experts from the island nation."

As the challenge ended and the crowd dispersed, the Ten Owls looked deeply at the figure in the center of the arena before leaving as well.

Elders such as Chen Yifeng wanted to invite Ye Qiu to join them for a while, but Ye Qiu politely declined. However, a remark from Daoist Qian Zhen caught Ye Qiu’s eye.

"Young friend Ye Qiu, you may visit the Dragon Tiger Daoist Temple another day to exchange martial arts insights. It’s not easy to break through the legendary realm; perhaps my experience in breaking through could be of great help to you," Daoist Qian Zhen said, causing Chen Yifeng and the others to reveal looks of astonishment. They hadn’t expected Daoist Qian Zhen to be willing to share his breakthrough experience, which was not a treatment just anyone received—even for highly skilled masters like Wang Hutang and Ren Hesheng, who had been trapped in the realm of True Qi for many years, it was not guaranteed.

"Lad, this is an opportunity not to be missed!" Chen Yifeng reminded.

Ye Qiu nodded and expressed his gratitude, "I will certainly visit when invited by an elder."

"Haha... then I welcome your visit, young man," Daoist Qian Zhen laughed heartily. Tang Yao gave Ye Qiu a deep look, nodded, and followed his master away.

Chen Yifeng repeatedly advised Ye Qiu to be careful in the future; the martial artists from the island nation were harboring resentment. Even with their presence, it wasn’t certain they could deter those ambitious fellows.

"I will surely bear this in mind," Ye Qiu thanked him with a bow.

After descending from the summit of Mount Hua, Ye Qiu quickly returned to the Goddess Villa. On his way back, he did not indulge in the joy of having killed Jiu Zang and Fujikawa Ueno; instead, his brow was furrowed in deep concern.

His worry was, naturally, about the consequences of killing two men from the island nation. Although many senior martial artists had stepped forward to support him, Ye Qiu understood that true strength came from one’s own power. While those seniors could protect him momentarily, they could not do so forever.

He must become stronger!

Only by becoming stronger could he be fearless.

Facing the pressure from the experts of the island nation gave Ye Qiu endless motivation. Among the younger generation of martial artists, he was already considered outstanding; the legendary realm was not his ultimate goal.

...

The day Jiu Zang and Fujikawa Ueno were killed by Ye Qiu, the news reached the ears of Tanigawa Shirou from the Japanese nation.

Jiu Zang was dead!

A disciple he had highly regarded and taken great pride in was just like that, killed by someone else!

Tanigawa Shirou’s demeanor was as calm as still water, as if not angered at all. Yet, if someone were to look directly into Tanigawa Shirou’s eyes, they would discover that within the depths of his eyes, tumultuous waves were churning. Within the calmness, a stormy tide was about to surge and roar.

"China, have I lain dormant for too long, allowing some to forget my renown? To kill my disciple, you shall pay with your life!" said Tanigawa Shirou coldly, and with his words, it seemed as though the world itself turned cold.
