"Ha ha... my good cousin, why are you so awkward?" Chu Yuan looked smugly at Chu Xiao, who was surrounded by a few people, laughing wildly.
"Why aren't you speaking? You used to be so arrogant because of your father's reputation, even looking down on me. Now that you've been expelled from the family, you've fallen to this state, and your cultivation is so pitiful."
"Chu Yuan, just say what you mean. If you're here to mock me, then get it over with." Although Chu Xiao was somewhat angry, he still spoke relatively calmly.
"Heh heh, I couldn't care less about your pathetic state. However, I'm quite interested in your friend Ren Pingsheng. Where is he?"
"You want to find him? Unfortunately, I haven't run into him."
"Not having run into him is fine. As long as you're in my hands, he'll definitely come once he hears the news. I really 'miss' him," he emphasized the word 'miss.' The last time he sent someone to kill him, he didn't know what had happened; there had been no news since then, which left him troubled.
"You scoundrel, you're still as despicable as ever." Chu Xiao glared at him, but being surrounded by three people with gleaming longswords made him hesitant to act recklessly.
"Ha ha, can I take that as a compliment? My good cousin, don't worry; I definitely won't lay a hand on you. After all, we are of the same clan. Once I've dealt with that Ren Pingsheng, I'll naturally let you go," Chu Yuan said with a smile that seemed more pleased than angry.
"Oh, are you looking for me?" A figure suddenly appeared before them; it was Ren Pingsheng. He had actually arrived earlier but hadn't expected to encounter this scene. Glancing at the few people lying on the ground, he knew there must have been a fierce battle here recently. These unfortunate fellows probably hadn't had time to crush their Transmission Stones before meeting their demise.
"Ha ha, today is truly my lucky day. I just took care of a few guys who got their hands on Jade Tablets, and now you've come here to deliver yourself to me with another Jade Tablet," Chu Yuan's eyes lit up upon seeing Ren Pingsheng; he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
"Is that so? I didn't expect to run into you either. That middle-aged man in black with the surname Chu during my mission must have been sent by you, right?"
"You encountered him? How could you possibly return unscathed?" He asked in surprise.
"So it really was your man. It seems I need to thank you properly," Ren Pingsheng said expressionlessly. If it weren't for his own formidable strength at the time, he might have ended up dead in the Huang Family's trap.
"Hmph, what about the people I sent? You dare to disrespect our Royal Family, and what's even more unforgivable is that you have the audacity to harbor ill intentions towards Yanran." Chu Yuan's face twisted slightly, as if recalling something unbearable.
Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but frown. He didn't have any particular feelings for the woman named Chu Yanran; he just didn't expect her to bring such trouble.
"However, none of that matters now. You will die here today. I will make sure you experience what it feels like to wish for death."
"Oh, I'm curious where your confidence comes from. Just you few? Three High-Level Warriors and one Mid-Level Warrior? Even if I can't defeat you, I can still escape. At most, I'll just give up on this assessment," Ren Pingsheng said with some confusion. He sensed a trick in Chu Yuan's tone.
"Brother, don't talk to him, hurry and leave. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave later," Chu Xiao suddenly shouted. As soon as Ren Pingsheng appeared, he had been restrained by the three, and this was his first chance to speak.
"Haha... it's too late; even if you want to leave, you can't." Chu Yuan suddenly crushed a red bead in his hand without warning. Ren Pingsheng felt a wave of fluctuation in the surroundings before everything returned to calm.
"Did you think those dead guys really had no chance to crush the Transmission Stone? Hehe, that's because even if they crushed it, it would be useless. This space has already been sealed by my Confinement Pearl; any spatial fluctuations cannot be transmitted out, so naturally, you can't escape. Now you have nowhere to run."
"Oh, you actually have such a treasure." Despite everything happening before him, Ren Pingsheng remained composed and was somewhat surprised as he sensed the surrounding space. It seemed there was an invisible barrier enveloping them, preventing anyone from leaving.
"Just as described in the books. But using something like this against me is likely a miscalculation. If I can't leave, then neither can you."
"Huh? Are you saying you have confidence in being able to kill us all?" Chu Yuan looked at him in shock, then regarded him as if he were a fool.
"There's nothing impossible about that; soon you'll realize how foolish you are."
"Young Master, we should act quickly; this Confinement Pearl only lasts for five minutes. If something unexpected happens then, it won't be good," one of the subordinates reminded him.
"Then I'll see just what kind of strength you have to say such big words." Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan immediately took action. The longsword in his hand sliced through the air, unleashing sword energy towards Ren Pingsheng. The three subordinates also moved swiftly and surrounded him.
"You will regret this," Ren Pingsheng murmured softly. With a single step, countless phantoms bewildered the eyes of the four. Though it was just a fleeting moment, it was enough for him. The sword in his hand unsheathed, a glimmer of cold light flashed, and the one with only Mid-Level Warrior cultivation paused momentarily before collapsing without a sound.
By the time the three reacted, Ren Pingsheng had already darted to the side. With a slash of his sword, several streams of sword energy transformed into hundreds of falling leaves, raining down on the heads of the three.
Chu Yuan and the others hurriedly defended themselves against the relentless assault. However, Ren Pingsheng turned his body and attacked one of them. A golden sword energy, carrying endless sharpness, flashed and struck that person.
"Ah!" The man screamed in agony, unable to react as he was instantly engulfed by the rain of True Qi arrows falling from above. Only a pool of blood remained, spreading out on the ground.
"Damn! How can this guy be so powerful?" Chu Yuan shouted in shock, an ominous premonition lingering in his heart.
"Slash!" He frantically unleashed waves of sword energy, shattering the True Qi arrow rain. Then he teamed up with another person to launch a joint attack on Ren Pingsheng. In that moment, he fought like a madman, each strike fierce and overwhelming. For a time, Ren Pingsheng found himself somewhat constrained and could only keep dodging.
"Roar..." Two streams of sword energy transformed into dragon and tiger shapes, intertwining as they chased after the evading Ren Pingsheng.
"Break!" As Ren Pingsheng dodged, a golden sword energy flashed like lightning.
"Boom..." The three streams of sword energy collided, producing a violent explosion that caused all three to momentarily freeze. However, Ren Pingsheng did not even glance at the outcome; he shifted his body like a butterfly in the wind. The explosive airflow had no effect on him as he swiftly appeared next to another High-Level Warrior.
"Ding ding..." That High-Level Warrior reacted quickly as well, wielding his Longsword in an impenetrable defense to block Ren Pingsheng's ambush. However, Ren Pingsheng's strikes grew increasingly rapid, accompanied by trembling force that left the High-Level Warrior overwhelmed and thrown off rhythm.
"Pfft..." A spray of blood erupted as that High-Level Warrior collapsed helplessly to the ground. This exchange lasted barely a breath's time. At this moment, Chu Yuan finally regained his senses from the explosion, but it was too late.
Seeing all three subordinates dead within such a short time, his face turned ashen with fear and unease filling his eyes. In that instant, he truly felt fear; being left alone meant he would definitely not be a match for Ren Pingsheng. He wanted to flee but found no way to escape.
"Ren Pingsheng, spare me! I promise I won't trouble you again!" As he saw Ren Pingsheng approaching slowly, Chu Yuan immediately grew anxious and shouted while retreating.
"Oh, but what you say is hard to believe. I would only believe it if I were dead."
"Don't... don't be impulsive. I still have some treasures to give you. You know I am a Royal Disciple; once you kill me, you will definitely be hunted down. Moreover, my Father is a Supreme Expert. If you take action, you will have no way out in the future as well. You need to think this through." He spoke half in pleading and half in threat.
"Your Father is a Supreme Expert? Then let me think about it." Ren Pingsheng seemed to be swayed, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
"That's more like it. As long as you let me go, I can have my Father accept you as a disciple. With the guidance of a Supreme Expert, your future achievements will surely be limitless, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth."
Chu Yuan immediately regained some confidence, his tone full of temptation. However, he was thinking that after escaping this time, he must send someone to capture Ren Pingsheng and torture him well to wash away today's humiliation.
"Is what you said true? Will your Father really agree? Can I also become a Supreme Expert?"
"Haha... of course, my Father has always been very compliant with me. This time we can consider it a misunderstanding; as the saying goes, 'no fight, no acquaintance.' Once my Father accepts you as a disciple, we can call each other brothers. Isn't that a wonderful thing?"
His face was filled with smiles. He knew that such temptation was something no one could refuse. At this moment, his life was saved. As for how to plan his revenge, he had already begun to brew it in his heart.
"Calling each other brothers. Heh heh... too bad you're not qualified yet." Ren Pingsheng's sword flashed, and a Sword Light instantly pierced through Chu Yuan's chest.
"Uh... how could you..." The joy on his face had not yet faded, and the resentment in his eyes was clearly visible; his revenge plan had also taken shape. But all of this was buried beneath the blood spilling from his chest. He seemed unable to comprehend how things had turned out this way. It was completely different from what he had envisioned.
Unfortunately, life is not a script; no matter how well you set it up, it cannot always go according to your expectations. It will inevitably take another direction at times, even going completely off course.
In this world of the survival of the fittest, there is no room for even the slightest mistake. Because any small oversight could cost one their life.
