"She is wanted by the Ye Family of the Beiming Domain. As long as you hand her over to us, the Ye Family will owe you a favor!" Step! Step! The two of them landed. The young man addressed as Jiu Ge squinted his eyes. For some reason, seeing Chu Ming’s calm demeanor made him inexplicably anxious. "You are not my opponents. Leave!" Chu Ming shook his head and said with a serene expression. "Do you really want to go against the Ye Family?" Another young man in a gray robe took a step forward. The aura around him was like an avalanche, enveloping Chu Ming. However, to his surprise, Chu Ming’s face remained unchanged, as calm as always. "I just want you to leave. I never said I wanted to go against the Ye Family!" Chu Ming couldn’t help but laugh, speaking softly. "Since that’s the case, we can only experience your superior skills!" Chu Ming intending to scare them off with just a few words was indeed impossible. Whoosh! The young man called Jiu Ge and the other young man drew their swords simultaneously. Two beams of sword light flowed towards Chu Ming like streams under the sunlight. "Be careful!" Feng Yuyan said with a touch of concern, but Chu Ming did not draw his sword. It wasn’t that he underestimated them but rather, after cultivating the Primordial Body Refining Technique, Chu Ming’s body refining power had rapidly increased and was now not inferior to the killing power of the Sword Dao. Boom! Chu Ming took a step forward, his eyes pitch-black, his white robe fluttered fiercely, and his black hair flew. His right hand fingers clenched tightly, muscles stretched, and a terrifying fist force seemed to rip through space, erupting from his fist, with a red glow like a dragon. Crack! Crack! The two sword lights were instantly shattered, and the remaining sword force turned into fragments, shooting in all directions, leaving deep grooves in the ground, and rocks splattering. Step! Step! Step! Two figures in the midst of the white waves quickly retreated, revealing the somewhat embarrassed figures of the two gray-robed youths, their hair disheveled. "Jiu Ge, this is a tough one, use the ultimate move!" The other young man, his eyes sullen like water, felt that Chu Ming’s explosive power was even greater than Feng Yuyan’s, yet he had no recollection of Chu Ming. There was no one named Chu Ming on the Profound List in the Eastern Hundred Domains. "No problem!" The young man called Jiu Ge extended his right hand, gripping the other young man’s left hand tightly. Blue light flickered between them, and a powerful sword momentum slowly began to rise within them as if to pierce the heavens. "A combined sword move?" Chu Ming’s eyes flashed with a hint of excitement. To be honest, the previous attacks of the two were still too weak for him. Perhaps only the combined sword move could pose a slight threat to him. "Be careful of this move!" Feng Yuyan had fallen to this move before and naturally knew its power. She feared that Chu Ming might underestimate it and follow in her footsteps, so she immediately warned him. "Sword Wound!" Whoosh! A magnificent beam of sword light, like the moon rising from the sea, transformed into a blazing sun, slashing horizontally towards Chu Ming. The air within a hundred meters burst instantly, turning into two white waves, flying to both sides, blurring the vision. Swoosh! This time, Chu Ming drew his sword. A dazzling white sword light illuminated the world. "Broken Dream!" The white blade seemed to shatter dreams. The surrounding space appeared fragmented, and then the fissures extended rapidly from the tip of the Conjugate Sword. Boom! Crack! The artistic conception of Chu Ming’s sword was too profound. Its power exceeded the imagination of the two gray-robed youths. As soon as they made contact, their sword light shattered like an illusion, fragments of sword light shooting in all directions. "Puff..." The two flew backward, spitting out blood, their bodies in disarray; even half of their internal meridians were nearly broken. Whoosh! After one strike, Chu Ming did not stop. Having made enemies, he could not let them go peacefully. Mercy on enemies is cruelty to oneself. Slash! Slash! Two cold sword lights shot out, and two blood arrows flew through the air. The two were killed by a single strike to their throats, their bodies falling to the ground with a thud. Snap! The Conjugate Sword returned to its sheath. Honestly, it was his first time using Broken Dream against an enemy, but its lethality exceeded his expectations. Behind him, Feng Yuyan’s mind was filled with the image of Chu Ming’s earlier strike, unable to calm her heart. One sword shattered dreams, giving her a sense of being at a different lifetime. Whether in terms of lethality or artistic conception, Chu Ming could rank in the top thirty on the Profound List. Sigh! Feng Yuyan took a deep breath. At least now she was alive. She gently took out the beast skin map from her storage ring and walked towards Chu Ming. "Thank you for saving my life!" "No thanks needed, we each had our needs!" Chu Ming spoke calmly, taking the beast skin map from Feng Yuyan’s hand and examining it. His heart lit up, confirming that it was indeed a quarter of the beast skin map. Though certain, Chu Ming’s face revealed no surprise. He simply placed the map into his storage ring. Then, he noticed Feng Yuyan seemed to want to say something. "What’s the matter?" Chu Ming asked curiously, casually taking the storage rings from the hands of the two gray-robed youths. "I’ve studied the map locations carefully. It should be in the heart of the Blood Bee Mountain Range. We should explore it together!" Feng Yuyan suggested. To be honest, seeing Chu Ming’s strength had triggered this idea. If Chu Ming’s strength was far below hers, she wouldn’t have had such thoughts. In fact, in the eyes of geniuses, there is an unseen hierarchy. Only another prodigy could gain their recognition, while other ordinary youths were like mud and sand in their eyes. "Sure!" Chu Ming pondered slightly and nodded. He also valued Feng Yuyan’s strength. At least in the Blood Bee Mountain Range, an extra strong ally meant more security. "I’ll recover from my injuries first, and then we enter the Blood Bee Mountain Range!" Feng Yuyan sat cross-legged, took out a healing elixir from her storage ring, and began circulating her spiritual power to heal herself. In the meantime, Chu Ming started checking the storage rings of the two gray-robed youths. To his surprise, in their storage rings, he found three hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, over ten million lower-grade Spirit Stones, and three or four low tier Earth Level sword techniques. "It seems these two’s status in the Ye Family isn’t trivial!" Chu Ming thought to himself. He wasn’t very afraid of the Ye Family’s revenge. The Ye Family was just one of the twelve allied families. Though they had a Realm of Transcendence expert, they were nothing in front of the Celestial Travel Sect. And most importantly, the Ye Family’s influence couldn’t reach the Celestial Realm.
