Chapter 553: Shadows of 0554 People, Names of Trees! (First Update)

Ye Qiu had no breath emanating from his body, yet in Sun Qi’s eyes, he appeared terrifyingly formidable, especially the faint smile on Ye Qiu’s face, which Sun Qi perceived as a cold smile.

Who dare guarantee they could withstand a punch from Ye Qiu and not die? Not to mention Sun Qi, even the other martial artists present dared not make such a claim.

After all, Ye Qiu’s reputation preceded him!

A person’s shadow, a tree’s name.

Having killed two legends, who would dare joke with their own life?

Ye Qiu awaited Sun Qi’s reply, while Sun Qi was in a fierce internal struggle.

He looked at Sun Yuan, who, with an encouraging expression, gestured for him to agree.

But Sun Qi hesitated. It was he who would be receiving a punch from Ye Qiu, not someone else, and he did not want to be killed by it, but if he did not accept Ye Qiu’s challenge, he would be unable to fight Ye Qiu.

Sun Qi was still undecided.

"My punches are very light, they won’t kill anyone..." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Just as Sun Qi was about to grit his teeth and take a risk, he changed his mind upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words. It was clear that Ye Qiu was being sarcastic; if he agreed, he would surely be killed by a punch. How could he believe that Ye Qiu’s light punch wouldn’t kill when it could even kill those in the Legend realm? Only a fool would believe that.

"I dare not!"

These three words were uttered from Sun Qi’s mouth with great difficulty. Having spoken, he could imagine the mocking looks from those around him.

But he didn’t care about that anymore; now he understood how foolish it was to challenge Ye Qiu. Once killed by Ye Qiu’s punch, the crowd would only cheer, and even the Clan Leader Sun Yuan might not say anything, given Ye Qiu’s evident strength.

Ye Qiu discreetly wiped the sweat from his palms, having feigned a strong demeanor just now because he was afraid that Sun Qi might actually accept, making it very difficult to retreat from the situation.

If that scene had indeed occurred, where a martial arts genius capable of killing those in the Legend realm could not seriously impact a mere ordinary disciple of a martial arts family with a punch, Ye Qiu would become the biggest joke, and Sun Qi would gain widespread attention, truly making a name for himself through Ye Qiu.

Lucklily, he had gambled that Sun Qi wouldn’t dare to accept.

Ye Qiu sighed with relief internally while the Family Head, Sun Yuan, was somewhat angry at Sun Qi for not fighting, thinking he had missed a good opportunity.

Just then, Bai Xiong’s voice suddenly rang out.

"Who dares to challenge my young master, please get past me first!" Bai Xiong leaped lightly and landed in front of everyone, bowing to Ye Qiu: "Young Master."

Seeing Bai Xiong’s unmatched bravery and the amazing aura more terrifying than that of True Qi realm, people wondered.

Who is this person?

Some people were still unclear about Bai Xiong’s identity, having seen him just once appearing beside Ye Qiu like a servant.

Also addressing Ye Qiu as the young master.

Could it be that Ye Qiu was so powerful because of a strong background?

The appearance of Bai Xiong caught the eyes of many, and although no one spoke openly, each martial artist would ponder inwardly, considering that with someone as capable as Bai Xiong by his side, Ye Qiu’s background probably wasn’t simple.

The martial artists still really didn’t understand Ye Qiu’s background.

With such thoughts, his wariness toward Ye Qiu grew even more, especially since Ye Qiu was so young yet powerful enough to fight above his level. This implied that Ye Qiu might very well become a supreme figure who could surpass the martial arts community in the future.

Such a person was untouchable.

Many who had come here with ambiguous intentions now thought a lot at this moment and decided immediately that they definitely should not make an enemy of Ye Qiu.

Perhaps offending Ye Qiu would mean offending the terrifying forces behind him.

"It seems the legend is true, there could indeed be a super-strong figure behind him; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly be this powerful!" many people thought in amazement.

"There were rumors that a master, suspected to be of legendary stature, once saved Ye Qiu. I think that person must be the one behind him."

As for the speculation, Ye Qiu paid no attention. Since they speculated that he had a significant power behind him, he let them imagine wildly. The more they envisioned a huge background behind him, the less likely they would become his enemies, which was beneficial for Ye Qiu.

Now, it was not suitable for him to make enemies with these people present, and as for the Sun family, Ye Qiu naturally thought about how he had nearly crippled their talented Sun Ziyan, which was why the Sun family still held a grudge. Thus, even though they came to show goodwill this time, they harbored no good intentions.

Bai Xiong stood next to Ye Qiu, facing the crowd, intentionally emitting a powerful aura to deter those present from harboring any malicious thoughts.

The people from the martial arts community, cunning and shrewd, mostly understood that the Sun family wanted a confrontation with Ye Qiu. Sun Qi’s audacity was surely allowed by the Family Head, Sun Yuan, who wanted to test whether Ye Qiu, after slaying Qian Zang, was severely injured and weakened. However, Ye Qiu did not avoid the confrontation; instead, he responded very dominantly, making Sun Qi lose face instead.

Apart from the Sun family, no one else dared harbor other intentions, and now with Bai Xiong standing by Ye Qiu’s side, looking ready to challenge anyone who dared to test Ye Qiu’s skills, immediately everyone abandoned such thoughts.

It was clear to the discerning eye that Bai Xiong was not easy to deal with, his robust aura demanding respect.

Many people began to take their leave, left gifts, and left the villa; the Sun family also slunk away shamefacedly.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu sighed with relief.

As the individuals from the martial arts community dispersed, Sun Yuan’s expression was ugly. The cowardice of Sun Qi was not just a loss of his own face but also a loss of the Sun family’s face, and this incident would naturally become a joke among the martial arts community.

"Clan Leader, it’s all my fault, I’ve embarrassed you," Sun Qi admitted proactively.

Sun Yuan’s expression grew dark: "If we could have tested how much strength Ye Qiu still possessed, Mr. Sato would have given our Sun family great benefits, but alas... all because of your cowardice!"

"And here you were fantasizing about making a name through defeating Ye Qiu; you’re simply a hopeless case, like a worm that can’t be helped up the wall," Sun Yuan said, both angry and frustrated.

Sun Qi hung his head low, looking utterly fearful, and didn’t argue.

Shen Mengchen entered the villa and saw Ye Qiu, whom she hadn’t seen for many days. She sensed some changes in him, but there was also an indescribable feeling.

She inquired about the many individuals from the martial arts community who had just come, and Ye Qiu made up an excuse, not explaining too much to Shen Mengchen.

The two of them hadn’t seen each other for many days and chatted for a while. Bai Xiong had saved Shen Mengchen, and although she was curious about this big guy, she didn’t ask too much.

After staying at Ye Qiu’s place for over an hour, Shen Mengchen returned to the Goddess villa, Ye Qiu not following her.

He needed to resume his cultivation. The day’s events provided Ye Qiu with a significant reminder; if he couldn’t swiftly regain his former strength, he might attract considerable trouble.

The Sun family, especially Sun Yuan who had harbored deep hatred for him at the martial arts conference, came with the crowd today showing goodwill, nearly exposing his zero cultivation.

"Bai Xiong, go check on the Sun family; I always get the feeling this family will not rest easy," Ye Qiu murmured.
