Chapter 66: Just Two Ants How did Du Yuan get involved with Xiao Liang?

From the looks of it, the two green-clothed men were chasing after Xiao Liang.

Their strength was at the second level of the Supreme realm.

Du Yuan’s strength was also at the second level of the Supreme realm.

Fighting one versus two, Du Yuan was obviously not their match and had suffered some losses.

Chu Xuan was slightly surprised. Although Du Yuan was an itinerant cultivator, he had obtained a fortuitous opportunity and the cultivation technique he cultivated was not weak.

Even if the two men in green came from a major power with a storied history, Du Yuan should have been able to deal with them.

After interacting with Du Yuan for so long, Chu Xuan had a very good understanding of Du Yuan’s capability.

He had once crossed a minor realm and killed an enemy who was stronger than he was.

It could be seen from this that Du Yuan’s strength was plenty strong. In the past, he could be said to have been a Heaven’s blessed-level character.

Examining the situation again, Chu Xuan came to a sudden understanding.

Du Yuan, an expert at the second level of the Supreme realm, was actually still using a low-grade emperor-level weapon.

The two green-clothed men, on the other hand, were using mid-grade emperor-level weapons.

......

It was already a one versus two situation so, coupled with the fact that his opponents had the advantage in terms of weapon-quality, Du Yuan was naturally at a disadvantage.

Low-grade emperor-level weapons did not amplify Du Yuan’s combat strength, and even somewhat hindered him from exerting his full strength.

The mid-grade emperor-level weapons were able to withstand the full strength of their cultivation, allowing them to display their full combat strength. Given such a situation, it would be strange if Du Yuan was not at a disadvantage.

As an itinerant cultivator, it was understandable why the weapon he wielded was a little inferior.

Back then, he had obtained a fortuitous opportunity. He also possessed an excellent cultivation technique as well as medicinal pills. The only thing he lacked was a powerful spiritual weapon.

The emperor-level weapon in his hand was something that he had paid someone a considerable price to forge.

“Hmph! How dare a small itinerant cultivator like you interfere in the matters of the Xiao clan? If it really has nothing to do with you, then surrender. If our investigation doesn’t yield any results, I will naturally let you go!” A green-clothed man coldly snorted.

Du Yuan’s face was dark. If he surrendered, he would die without a doubt.

Even if they found out that the matter had nothing to do with him, the Xiao clan would not let him go. They would definitely use certain methods to control him and make him one of their lackeys.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to escape.

Fortunately, the small family clan that he was overseeing had never made a move. What happened here would not implicate the small family clan. However, there was no way for him to return there after this.

From the looks of it, he would have to continue on as an itinerant cultivator.

“The Western Region does not belong to your Xiao clan alone. Although I am an itinerant cultivator, the two of you must think clearly whether or not you really want to force me to fight to the death!”

A fierce look flashed across Du Yuan’s eyes.

“Although the Xiao clan is not the only force in the Western Region, it is not something a small itinerant cultivator like you can provoke.”

The two green-clothed men sneered.

Their bodies moved and they were about to attack.

Du Yuan’s strength was not weak. Even if they had the advantage in terms of weapons, he would still be able to fight.

In a one versus two situation, even if he could not kill one of them, he could still heavily injure one.

However, once the other party was heavily injured, the other Supreme realm experts of the Xiao clan would definitely hunt him down and kill him.

A large clan like the Xiao clan would not allow their reputation to be tarnished, and would kill any and all of the itinerant cultivators they offended.

This was especially true for a Supreme realm itinerant cultivator, as the potential damage that could be caused by a Supreme realm expert’s rampage was immeasurable.

Under normal circumstances, they would not be willing to offend such a powerful itinerant cultivator, especially if they did not have the confidence to kill him.

However, the other party seemed to have something to do with Xiao Liang. Whether it was a misunderstanding or a deliberate act, it no longer mattered.

In the end, Xiao Liang had managed to escape because of him.

The other party had to pay with his life!

Suddenly, above Du Yuan’s head, a circle of light rippled.

A seven-colored divine light burst forth.

What was that?

The hearts of the two Xiao Clan elders were startled, and their figures stopped in their tracks.

They looked at the circle of light above Du Yuan’s head in shock and bewilderment.

Du Yuan was overjoyed.

Senior had come to chat with him.

With Senior’s strength, it would be effortless for him to resolve this crisis!

“Senior, Little Du is in a bit of a pickle. Can Senior help?”

Chu Xuan’s figure appeared.

His figure exuded boundless might and was bathed in divine light.

Just a glance was enough to shock people.

He looked to be as powerful as a deity, incomparably powerful!

Du Yuan was shocked. Was this Senior?

Too powerful!

The Xiao Clan elders were even more shocked. Their hearts trembled.

Who was that?

What kind of method was this, appearing here through the endless space.

Too terrifying!

After a single glance, they already had the intention to retreat.

Regardless of whether Du Yuan had intended to save Xiao Liang or not, he had such a terrifying expert behind him, so this matter had to be written off.

Moreover, Du Yuan saving Xiao Liang was very likely a misunderstanding.

That figure was enough to make one’s mind shake from just a glance, not to mention that strange method of appearing through the endless space.

Even the legendary Heaven realm powerhouses could not do such a thing, right?

“Little Du, those two are just ants.”

The corners of Du Yuan’s mouth twitched. ‘I can’t even beat two ants. Does that make me more useless than ants?’

For a moment, Du Yuan was speechless.

“Do you think those two ants can escape from me?”

Chu Xuan moved the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and arrived above the two elders of the Xiao clan.

The elders of the Xiao clan were so scared that they were about to turn and run away. They were trembling, with fear evident on their faces.

“Senior, this is all a misunderstanding. It’s a misunderstanding. The two of us didn’t mean to become enemies with Nrother Du.”

The halo was hovering above their heads. From such a close distance, they could feel the boundless might emanating from the figure.

They felt their legs go weak, and they almost knelt down right there and then.

Chu Xuan was very satisfied with the Xiao clan elders’ reactions. The Heaven-shaking Divine Image was indeed awesome. His strength and aura seemed to be even more boundless when it was projected through the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.

“It’s a misunderstanding. This venerable self is too lazy to make a move. If I crush you two ants to death, it’ll dirty my hands!”

Chu Xuan started to scare them because the other party could not see through him.

Du Yuan wanted to cry but no tears came out.

If Senior crushed the Xiao family’s elders to death, he would dirty his hands. They were just two little ants, after all.

As for himself, he could not even beat those ants.

Fortunately, Senior did not feel that conversing with him was beneath him.

Alas!

His strength was too weak.

At this moment, Du Yuan realized that he, a dignified Supreme realm expert, was actually just a little ant.

The elders of the Xiao clan felt very uncomfortable.

They were usually the only ones who called other low-level cultivator ants. Unexpectedly, it was their turn to be humiliated.

They finally understood what it felt like to be on the receiving end.

Should they say something fierce?

Should they try to resist?

After seeing that imposing figure, they no longer dared to resist.

“Yes, yes, we are ants. Killing us will dirty Senior’s hands!”

At this moment, they had to go with the flow and follow their hearts.

Cowardice!

Seeing the previously arrogant Xiao clan elders cower, Du Yuan sighed in his heart. Strength was indeed everything.

“Little Du, how do you think we should deal with these two ants?” Chu Xuan looked at Du Yuan and asked.

The Xiao clan elders immediately looked at Du Yuan, their eyes seemingly pleading with him. They blinked their eyes, indicating that they could compensate him.

They even shook the mid-grade emperor-level weapons in their hands slightly.

The meaning behind this was self-evident.

They would compensate Du Yuan with an emperor-level weapon of mid-grade or higher.

Du Yuan thought for a moment. Killing the Xiao clan elders would definitely offend the Xiao clan. As an itinerant cultivator, he definitely could not afford to bear their ire.

If not, he would have to live a life trying to avoid being hunted down.

He could not always rely on Senior, and could not be greedy in asking for Senior’s help again and again.

After this shocking incident, the Xiao clan would realize that he had a powerful backer behind him, so they would not dare to make things too difficult for him.

Moreover, he could also obtain a mid-grade emperor-level weapon, or perhaps even a high-grade emperor-level weapon.
