Chapter 57

Ye Chu stood in the dueling arena, watching the Sand Kingdom cultivators preparing to charge at Pang Shao without saying a word. However, none of the cultivators who rushed forward dared to easily cross Ye Chu. Ye Chu's kick that sent Sand Mountain flying was too shocking; they simply did not have the courage to face Ye Chu!

"Attacking a severely injured person, is this the dignity of your Yao Kingdom?" The leader of the Sand Kingdom straightened his body and glared at Ye Chu angrily.

"Are you talking to me about dignity?" Ye Chu suddenly laughed, his smile bright as he looked at Su Rong and her group and said, "What is dignity? Is it valuable?"

Su Rong and her group blushed and turned their heads, pretending not to see Ye Chu's gaze. But they couldn't help but doubt the intelligence of the Sand Kingdom leader, thinking, "You already know this person is the most notorious Ye Chu in Yao City, yet you still talk to him about these things? If he knew these things, would he have become a pariah in Yao City?"

Seeing the crowd of Yao Kingdom laugh at his words, the Sand Kingdom leader roared, "Don't regret it!"

"I never regret my actions!" Ye Chu stared at the leader of Yao City and said, "Let your next warrior come up. I still need to go home for dinner after playing with you; it's getting late!"

Ye Chu looked up at the setting sun, which was about to sink below the horizon.

"Sand Rock! You go!" The Sand Kingdom leader's face was grim, "Take back Sand Mountain; we can't let outsiders bully us!"

"Yes!" A young man stepped out from beside the Sand Kingdom leader, his body large and muscular, carrying a pair of iron hammers that dragged heavily on the ground as he slowly walked toward the dueling arena, exuding a formidable presence.

"Ye Chu! This guy is not tough, he passed out!" Pang Shao kicked Sand Mountain, knocking him unconscious, and spat, clearly displeased.

"Just passed out, not really dead, kick him again!" Ye Chu laughed at Pang Shao. This statement made the crowd of Yao City exchange glances, thinking that although Ye Chu's strength might have changed, his cruel nature, which treated human life as nothing, remained unchanged.

Pang Shao shrugged and said, "No interest! Beating someone is all about the satisfaction of seeing them in pain. What's the point of beating a lump of meat? Hehe, wait and get me a few Sand Kingdom maids."

Ye Chu turned his head, pretending not to hear Pang Shao's words, and looked at Sand Rock standing before him. He glanced at the large iron hammers dragging on the ground and smiled, saying, "Do you think two pieces of broken iron can deal with me?"

"Try and see!" Sand Rock suddenly lifted his iron hammers, swinging them fiercely at Ye Chu. The iron hammers seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making a heart-stopping impact as they swung.

Ye Chu's figure flashed, dodging the swing. The iron hammers smashed into the spot where Ye Chu had just stood, instantly shattering the blue stones on the ground, revealing the full power of the hammers.

"Such strong power!" Ye Tian and his group drew a deep breath, looking at the large pit created by the impact. They couldn't understand how the Sand Kingdom could produce so many powerful figures.

From this one strike, it was clear that Sand Rock was no weaker than Sand Mountain.

Ye Tian couldn't help but ask Pang Shao, "Can Ye Chu handle it?"

Pang Shao looked at the large pit created by the iron hammers, swallowed hard, and after a long pause, said uncertainly, "He should be able to!"

Even Pang Shao was so nervous, and Ye Tian and his group were even more anxious. Ye Tian kept asking, "Ye Chu doesn't have a weapon, he might be at a disadvantage. What kind of weapon does he use? Should I send someone to bring one up?"

Pang Shao shook his head and said, "I've never seen him use a weapon!"

Ye Tian and his group couldn't help but frown. Without a weapon, how could Ye Chu resist such a powerful iron hammer? A mortal body couldn't withstand a single blow!

Everyone was on edge, but Ye Chu smiled at Sand Rock and said, "Not bad! But still a bit lacking. I heard Sand Mountain was ranked third. Call your leader too, so I don't seem to be bullying you!"

This statement not only made the Sand Kingdom people stare, but also the crowd of Yao Kingdom. Looking at Sand Rock's stance, his strength should be at the Eighth Level of Transformation. Combined with such a powerful iron hammer, even a Ninth Level of Transformation would find it difficult. Ye Chu was actually calling for them to come together. Could he have reached the Xiantian Realm?

Thinking of this possibility, everyone felt their mouths dry. The Xiantian Realm! In small kingdoms like Yao Kingdom and Sand Kingdom, they were the pinnacle of existence, like national protectors, high above and only to be looked up to!

For small kingdoms like Yao Kingdom and Sand Kingdom, the number of Xiantian Realm cultivators represented the strength of the kingdom. Yao Kingdom had fewer than five Xiantian Realm cultivators, and Sand Kingdom even fewer.

Some small kingdoms had only one Xiantian Realm cultivator in the entire kingdom. If a kingdom had no Xiantian Realm cultivators, it meant the kingdom was doomed!

The Xiantian Realm was such an existence, they were the talismans of small kingdoms. But could the young man standing before them have reached this level?

Pang Shao also had his doubts. Although Ye Chu told him he hadn't reached the Xiantian Realm, if he hadn't, how could he have the courage to say such things?

But if Ye Chu had reached the Xiantian Realm, it was too unbelievable! Pang Shao, unlike the people of such small kingdoms, had seen many Xiantian Realm cultivators. After all, he came from an imperial family, and the empire had a deep foundation. It was a massive entity with many Xiantian Realm cultivators! But this didn't mean Pang Shao wasn't surprised. The Xiantian Realm was a significant threshold, very difficult to cross! He believed Ye Chu could cross it, but he didn't want to believe Ye Chu had already crossed it!

Sand Rock was also stunned by Ye Chu's words, not expecting him to be so contemptuous of Sand Kingdom cultivators. They were the strongest generation in the history of Sand Kingdom. Not because their talents were better than their predecessors, but because they had good luck, accidentally finding a ruin where they had a series of extraordinary experiences, rapidly increasing their strength. This created a terrifying lineup for Sand Kingdom: two Eighth Level of Transformation and one Seventh Level of Transformation. They originally thought this lineup was enough to sweep through the young generation of Yao Kingdom, but they didn't expect such a person to emerge from Yao Kingdom.

"Do you really want us to attack together?" Sand Rock, unsure of Ye Chu's true strength, was more than willing to let him have it. As long as this guy was dealt with, the young generation of Yao Kingdom would be easy to handle.

"Of course, I am a person with dignity!" Ye Chu completely forgot that he had just asked Su Rong what dignity was.

"Sand Peak! Since they insist, if we don't agree, it would seem we lack sincerity." Despite his large build, Sand Rock was smart. He called out to the Sand Kingdom lineup, and a young man stepped out, holding a spear, standing shoulder to shoulder with Sand Rock.

"How can Ye Chu be so foolish!" Zhang Suo'er and her group were anxious, thinking, "One is hard enough to handle, and he actually calls for them to come together. Does he really think he's a war god?"

"Pang Shao! What are Ye Chu's chances of winning?" Ye Tian couldn't help but ask Pang Shao, who knew Ye Chu best.

"He should have some chance!" Pang Shao said awkwardly, "Ye Chu never does anything without being sure!"

"Has he reached the Xiantian Realm?" Ye Tian asked directly. If he hadn't, it would be extremely difficult for Ye Chu to win. But if he had, these two wouldn't be a match for him.

"He probably hasn't reached it!" Pang Shao thought for a moment, ultimately believing that what Ye Chu told him was true. If he had really reached the Xiantian Realm, helping Bai Bao resolve the evil aura shouldn't have been so difficult last time.

Ye Tian and his group's expressions changed. Without reaching the Xiantian Realm, Ye Chu's chances of winning against two weapon-wielding cultivators, who might use Xiantian-level martial techniques, were almost zero.

"Ye Chu is too reckless!" Many people shook their heads. Just like in the past, he loved to be in the spotlight! They originally thought his nature had changed, but now it seemed it hadn't at all, which made people sigh.
