Chapter 1929 - Not Too Shabby Yourself

Chapter 1929: Not Too Shabby Yourself Three people, together?
Everyone gazed at Ye Futian in silence. Even though someone had earlier predicted that Ye Futian would be the ultimate winner and had rated him highly, which among the other three was not a genius with monster-like strength?
Wushang City’s young city lord Liu Qing, Bai Gu from Beiyuan Continent’s Bai clan, and the Blood Empress.
Three extremely powerful cultivators. Even though Liu Qing lost nine chess pieces, that was because his opponent was too strong. As for Bai Gu, he was like Ye Futian and, up until that point, had kept all 36 of his chess pieces.
The three of them did not seem any weaker than Ye Futian. However, at that moment, Ye Futian actually asked the three of them to team up and face him together. Just what kind of arrogance was that?
The three of them were also stunned briefly after hearing Ye Futian’s statement. They looked perplexed. Earlier, Ye Futian said something crazy, which was to decide a victor among themselves first. That was understandable. However, later, Ye Futian asked the three of them to team up and fight him. It was no longer just crazy. It was extreme hubris and arrogance.

You know you’re going to be eliminated. That’s why you want it to seem more heroic, is that right?
Bai Gu asked gently. The three of them had come to some agreement, which was to eliminate Ye Futian first. So, they wondered if it was because Ye Futian knew that he would lose that he intentionally said this.
It looked like this was certainly a possibility.
After all, they had already decided that they would get rid of Ye Futian first. Moreover, on the chessboard matrix, the worst outcome was to be eliminated. Even if one were excessively arrogant, there were no other more severe consequences.
Ye Futian glanced at Bai Gu. He raised his hand. Then, in an instant, chess pieces began hovering in front of him. There were a total of nine chess pieces. Every chess piece contained a buzzing Sword Will. Apart from the Sword Will, a frightening Yin aura also oozed out of the chess pieces, seemingly freezing the air around them.

If you say that is the case, then so be it.
Just as Ye Futian finished speaking, the nine chess pieces flew away and transformed into nine Sword Wills that shot toward Bai Gu’s location at the same time.
Looks of surprise hung on the faces of many onlookers. Ye Futian only released nine chess pieces against Bai Gu?
Bai Gu looked at Ye Futian. All 36 chess pieces around him started to move. The Frost Will engulfed the area around him. The nine Sword Wills arrived in an instant. As if a frightening bolt of lightning infiltrating, the Sword Wills pierced through his Frost domain. After entering his domain, the Sword Wills charged straight towards Bai Gu’s body.
The Frost Will strengthened, and the chess pieces in front of Bai Gu spun and danced while a divine giant frost dragon released an icy breath filled with an enormous amount of Frost Will that targeted Ye Futian’s chess pieces.
As that occurred, the Sword Will of the nine chess pieces turned into a straight blade of light that emitted an even colder aura. The aura caused the surrounding Frost Will to freeze. The breath of the giant frost dragon was also frozen in place. Even the giant frozen dragon’s movement began to slow.
Many people looked surprised. However, before they could regain their bearings, the blade of light shot through and caused the body of the giant frost dragon to disintegrate bit by bit as it turned into nothingness. The 36 chess pieces were also destroyed.
Vuong… The chess pieces which had transformed into a sharp sword hovered in front of Bai Gu. It had stopped attacking.
Bai Gu’s gaze remained fixed. A powerful Frost Will emanated from his body as he stared at the floating chess pieces.
At that moment, all his previously displayed confidence had vanished.
Nine chess pieces had transformed into a sword that instantly destroyed all 36 of his chess pieces. It was a complete and instantaneous defeat.
His earlier words still rang in his ears. Now, it seemed a little painful to hear them.
Ye Futian was feigning arrogance so that he could lose more heroically?
No. The truth was that he, Bai Gu, could not even take one hit.
All the other practitioners also focused their attention on him. Bai Gu, the Bai clan genius from the Beiyuan Continent, had utterly lost in this battle. The proud and insufferably arrogant attitude Bai Gu had been defeated in an instant when faced against the white-haired Renhuang who was just as handsome as he was.
The white-haired Renhuang did not lose a single chess piece.
No wonder he dared to make a statement as bold as asking the three of them to attack together.
With the strength that he had displayed, he certainly had the right to do so. He was able to take care of Bai Gu with just nine chess pieces. So, what about the young city lord of Wushang City, Liu Qing, as well as the Blood Empress?
Was it going to be the same? Were nine chess pieces sufficient?
Weird expressions hung on the faces of many when that thought crossed their mind. They looked toward Liu Qing and the Blood Empress. They could see the two of them staring straight at Ye Futian. It was clear that they were also stunned by Ye Futian’s earlier attack.
From what they felt, Bai Gu was not weaker than either of them. However, he suffered an instantaneous defeat when facing Ye Futian. Would they be able to withstand Ye Futian’s next attacks?
They would soon find out. Ye Futian waved his hand, and this time, 18 chess pieces rose into the air. Separated into two sides, nine pieces on each side.
The scene prompted many outside the chessboard to look surprised. Was he going to fight the other two at the same time?
As he said earlier, he was going to fight the other three powerful cultivators all by himself.
18 chess pieces spun and flew out. They transformed into Sword Wills just like the Sword Will attack used against Bai Gu earlier. There was not an inch of difference. As long as it was strong enough, one skill was enough to break through tens of thousands of spells. There was no need for Ye Futian to make any changes.
Rumble… A frightening thunder roared across the sky. Liu Qing roared. His finger pointed forward toward the sky, and a thunder battle ax slashed downward to clash against the sword silhouette that had just converged.
In another direction, the Blood Empress’ beautiful and alluring body moved as she danced. Crimson roses emerged and created an ocean of blood that devoured everything, including the sword flying towards her.
The swords pierced through the two attacks almost at the same time. The crowd could only see the blades of light pass through the battle-ax and the crimson roses before turning back into a straight ray of light that left an incredibly bright and beautiful divine light in its track.
The blade of light passed, and the chess pieces turned into dust one by one. Only the 18 chess pieces which had transformed into the blades remained. Liu Qing and the Blood Empress’ face distorted. The reason was not that they felt wronged or ridiculed, but that they had suffered a crushing defeat.
They were all incredibly arrogant people. Earlier, the appearance of a mysteriously powerful cultivator made them skip several battles to avoid him. This had already created some thoughts on their minds. Now, they stepped up and entered this battle, but they still faced such a crushing defeat.
It affected their self-confidence significantly. Were the paths that they cultivated so weak?
As they thought of this, the light in Liu Qing and the Blood Empress’ eyes dimmed.
As for those watching the battle, some gasped while others were in shock.
Too strong. Earlier, some cultivators actually thought that the winner of this battle would be one of the three – Bai Gu, Liu Qing, or the Blood Empress. They would never have expected someone so strong would appear and completely crush the three of them.
It was just like what one person predicted earlier. The victor of the battle was already decided. It was not one of the three participants that they favored. Rather, it was the white-haired Renhuang.
Shangguan Qiuye was also speechless. It looked like she still underestimated Ye Futian’s strength. His Great Path was not on the same level as others. Perhaps the mysterious cultivator was the only one who was on a similar level.
Ye Futian saw that the Blood Empress and Liu Qing were still staring at him. It was as if they had not yet recovered from that unexpected defeat. So, he said,
Don’t take it to heart. If it were anyone else, the result would have been the same.

Hearing Ye Futian’s words, the expressions on the face of many onlookers changed. This was…
However, none could say anything in response. He did, after all, instantly defeat three amazingly talented and powerful cultivators. No matter what he said, he was in the right, and no one could rebut him.
Ye Futian had the right to be proud and arrogant.
If someone were to say something like this to the Blood Empress or Liu Qing on a normal day, the two would probably have gone berserk. However, at that moment, they felt nothing. They only glanced at Ye Futian in silence.
They hoped that what he said was the case.
It was that the white-haired Renhuang was too strong and not their Great Path being too weak.

I am humbled. I look forward to your future performance,
said Liu Qing. After that, he exited the chessboard. The Blood Empress stared at Ye Futian with a profound look with her charming eyes. Then, she also left.
She would see whether Ye Futian would also be just as powerful in the subsequent battle.
The battle ended, and Ye Futian obtained a complete victory. There was not even a tinge of suspense.
The scarier thing was that he did not lose a single chess piece. He walked towards the stone platform on the side. If he could maintain his 36 chess pieces in the upcoming nine-way battle, he would be even stronger than the mysterious cultivator from earlier.
Now, that was something one would look forward to seeing.

How do you guys know he would win?
Someone asked the guy who predicted that Ye Futian had already secured victory.

In the battle at the cliff face earlier, he defeated all the cultivators from Penglai Continent’s Jun clan. Did you not see that he has already incapacitated the young master of the Jun clan, Jun Qiuyan? He took that Great Path Opportunity, and the cliff face collapsed. How could someone like this not win?
The person spoke with slanted eyes. He spoke as if everything was in his grasp, as if the one who won was him.
Regardless, the people around him were stunned after hearing his words. Was he that strong?
He took the Great Path Opportunity, and the cliff face collapsed because of him.
Many people looked at Ye Futian, who sat on the platform. Ye Futian sat there quietly cultivating. He did not look at the people underneath him. The reason why he showed such overwhelming strength was because he wanted to garner the attention of the Eastern Deity Island. This was to respond to unforeseen events about to take place in the Eastern Deity Island.
In front of the Eastern Deity Gate, the mysterious cultivator opened his eyes. He glanced at Ye Futian and said,
You’re not too shabby.

Ye Futian raised his head and looked over after hearing that. He calmly locked eyes with the young man. This young man was the most talented person with the strongest potential that he had seen since coming to Eastern Deity Island. Of course, there was still some gap between the two of them.

You’re not too shabby yourself.
Ye Futian replied with a smile. The young man’s pupils shrunk slightly. Then, he smiled and nodded in response!
