Chapter 61: Paying the Price

As the words fell, a chill suddenly surged in Bai Tianming’s eyes. He stomped his foot, and his figure turned into a blur, appearing like a ghost in front of Du Shaofu, with the aura of the Profound Realm of the Innate Stage surging out.

Du Shaofu’s gaze sharpened. This Bai Tianming was far more skilled than An Hu, at the Profound Realm of the Innate Stage, which was absolutely not low among the younger generation.

"There’s a show to watch. It seems to be Bai Tianming of the Bai family and Qin Xiaolu of the Qin family. They are going to deal with Du Shaofu of the Du family."

"Apparently, An Hu of the An family was beaten by Du Shaofu a few days ago. The An family didn’t gain any advantage when they went to the Du family. An Long even inadvertently said that Du Shaofu of the Du family is the best among the young generation of the five major families."

"Is that Du Shaofu of the Du family?" ...

On the surrounding streets, with the commotion here, many onlookers quickly gathered.

In a short breath, Bai Tianming appeared in front of Du Shaofu, his pale and gloomy face sneering, with mystic energy surging, his fists tightly clenched, and the air crackling with explosions as he directly punched towards Du Shaofu.

"Whoosh!"

However, just as Bai Tianming’s fist appeared in front of Du Shaofu, Du Shaofu’s figure instantly vanished from Bai Tianming’s sight. In a split second, the surrounding onlookers almost only saw a blur, and Du Shaofu’s figure appeared like a ghost behind Bai Tianming, a fist shadow accompanied by a terrifying wind, fiercely smashing towards Bai Tianming’s back.

"Bang Bang!"

Where the fist passed, the air resounded with thirteen consecutive explosions.

"It seems to be the Du family’s Fluctuating Fist, but how is the power so strong!"

Among the onlookers, there were also some with exceptional eyesight, and someone even recognized the martial technique Du Shaofu was using.

In a short breath, Bai Tianming had no time to react. When the sound of the fist’s shockwave reached the thirteenth time, it finally struck Bai Tianming’s back in front of the shocked onlookers.

"Pfft!"

A terrifying surge of energy directly sent Bai Tianming’s body flying like a broken kite into the air, like a fragile bamboo stalk being blown away by a strong wind, and he finally landed heavily several meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with shock.

"Bai Tianming of the Bai family was actually no match for Du Shaofu of the Du family!"

The surrounding onlookers stared in disbelief at Bai Tianming, who had fallen to the ground. They all looked incredulous, as Bai Tianming had been defeated so easily, and he was at the Profound Realm of the Innate Stage, which was considered quite strong even in the entire Stone City.

"Du Shaofu, I want to see how strong the person Ye Zhenjin favors is!"

Almost as soon as Bai Tianming’s body hit the ground, a cold voice suddenly rang out near Du Shaofu. Qin Xiaolu of the Qin family held a three-foot-long green sword in her hand, her toes lightly touching the ground, a surge of mystic energy rising, and with the help of this mystic energy, her graceful figure darted straight towards Du Shaofu. She formed a sword seal with her delicate hands, and her sword moved, the sword light blinding, carrying runes, and several sword beams shot towards Du Shaofu in quick succession.

Clearly, Qin Xiaolu had anticipated that Bai Tianming would not be able to deal with Du Shaofu, and her current move was an ambush. However, she probably did not expect Bai Tianming to be sent flying in just one move, but this sword was already like an arrow on the string, and she had no choice but to release it.

"Rain Curtain Sword Technique!"

The sword light pierced through the air, as if tearing through space, and a surge of mystic energy energy radiated from the tip of the sword, like a meteor falling from the sky, forming a curved arc of sword light that enveloped Du Shaofu.

"Also at the Profound Realm of the Innate Stage."

Du Shaofu’s brows furrowed. This woman from the Qin family was also at the Profound Realm of the Innate Stage, but with her extraordinary long sword, her power was undoubtedly much stronger than Bai Tianming’s. Bai Tianming’s move was clearly very careless, otherwise it would have been difficult to defeat him in one move. However, this woman from the Qin family was much more vicious, and she did not hold back at all from the start.

Seeing the energy sword light coming, Du Shaofu’s feet surged with mystic energy, and with the help of the energy, his body suddenly retreated. The energy sword light just grazed his body, and the sharp sword wind made his skin feel slightly painful.

"Hmph!"

Qin Xiaolu coldly snorted, seemingly not expecting Du Shaofu’s speed to be so fast. She changed her sword seal, her toes lightly touching the ground, and her hand swept out. As her hand moved, her three-foot-long green sword trembled, and another sword beam shot directly towards Du Shaofu.

Du Shaofu’s gaze darkened, and he formed a hand seal, a faint golden mystic energy surging around him. The sudden release of this massive energy made the surrounding onlookers look shocked.

Mystic energy surged, and a palm seal formed in Du Shaofu’s palm, like a wave of energy, and with a heavy energy fluctuation, it directly smashed into Qin Xiaolu’s sword beam.

"Bang!"

The two met, and an energy explosion sounded at the point of contact. The sharp sword beam was directly destroyed by the former in the most brutal way, a forceful crushing.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound followed, and Qin Xiaolu’s three-foot-long green sword broke.

All eyes were stunned. The sword in Qin Xiaolu’s hand was not an ordinary item. Although it had not yet reached the level of a spirit weapon, it was probably very close to one. Now it had been directly broken, indicating just how powerful Du Shaofu was.

With the sword broken, a wave of energy surged, and Qin Xiaolu’s body was violently thrown back. After flying several meters, she quickly used a body technique, spinning rapidly in the air, and then, as she landed, her toes lightly touched the ground, and her body slid back nearly ten meters before stabilizing.

"Crack, crack!"

As Qin Xiaolu’s body retreated, each step on the street’s stone surface produced a "crack, crack" sound, with stones flying and dust shooting out, and cracks spreading from her feet.

"Pfft!"

When her body finally stabilized, the broken sword in Qin Xiaolu’s hand fell to the street, and the palm holding the hilt was bleeding from the shock, and she also spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale.

Du Shaofu looked at the injured Bai Tianming and Qin Xiaolu, walked straight to their side, and the few young men and women who had accompanied them did not dare to step forward. Neither Bai Tianming nor Qin Xiaolu was a match for him, so they dared not go up to be beaten.

"What do you want to do? You... don’t come closer!"

Looking at the approaching Du Shaofu, the expressions on Bai Tianming and Qin Xiaolu’s pale faces were extremely ugly, but due to their severe injuries, their steps back were also very difficult.

"Bai Tianming, Qin Xiaolu, did you forget to take your medicine today? Naturally, you will have to pay a price."

Du Shaofu did not stop, and in front of everyone, he directly searched through their chests, taking out a spatial bag from each. The fact that they had spatial bags proved that their status in their respective families was also quite high.

Watching Du Shaofu take their spatial bags, Bai Tianming and Qin Xiaolu’s faces were filled with embarrassment, but they were powerless.

"Du Shaofu, you...!"

Especially Qin Xiaolu, watching Du Shaofu ignore the propriety between men and women, and reach into her chest to take the spatial bag, she was so angry that her face turned red, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"Next time you provoke me, I won’t be as lenient as today."

Looking at the helpless Bai Tianming and Qin Xiaolu, Du Shaofu, in front of everyone, naturally put the two spatial bags into his own chest, then turned and walked away.

"Wow, so cool."

"Really awesome, I didn’t know the Du family had such a young master." ...

On the street, many young girls watched the tall figure walking away, their eyes filled with admiration.

"Du Shaofu of the Du family lives up to his reputation. The Bai family and the Qin family have suffered a setback this time."

"It looks like the Du family will win in this competition among the five major families." ...

As Du Shaofu walked away, the surrounding onlookers began to discuss, and among the crowd, there were a few figures in long robes, seemingly deliberately disguised, their eyes also following the figure walking away.
