Chapter 165: Chapter 165: An Intent to Recruit

"What do you mean by that?"

Lii Yijun’s head snapped up. His gaze fixed on Su Yang, instantly turning cold as ice.

"I don’t mean anything by it. He hit the young master. As long as he does what I said before, I’ll throw him out of Juying Tower, whether Second Young Master Lii tells me to or not," Su Yang said bluntly, his cold gaze locked on Ye Wushuang.

Lii Yijun’s expression darkened at once. He couldn’t believe Su Yang was so arrogant as to show him, a young master of the Lii Family, no respect whatsoever.

Lii Yijun was also furious. He snapped coldly, "Su Yang, you’re nothing but a dog! Do you really think you’re somebody? Get lost!"

"Second Young Master Lii, I suggest you watch your mouth. This isn’t the Lii Family’s estate!" Su Yang’s face was utterly grim, a chilling glint in his eyes.

"What? So because this isn’t the Lii Family’s estate, you’re going to try and keep me here?" Lii Yijun retorted coldly.

He then turned to Ye Wushuang and said, "Benefactor, don’t worry. I’m here today. Let’s see who dares to stop you."

As he spoke, he tugged on the corner of Ye Wushuang’s sleeve and gave him a meaningful look.

Ye Wushuang understood the meaning in Lii Yijun’s eyes. He was telling him that this was Tang Family territory and they shouldn’t linger.

After a moment’s thought, Ye Wushuang started to leave with Lii Yijun.

"Hmph. Thinking of walking away without leaving something behind? In your dreams!" A cold light flickered in Su Yang’s eyes as he watched Ye Wushuang leave with Lii Yijun.

He didn’t dare touch Lii Yijun, the Second Young Master of the Lii Family.

But a country boy like Ye Wushuang? Did he have any reason to be afraid?

Instantly, he thrust a palm strike toward Ye Wushuang from a distance. His True Essence surged like a torrential wave, its power terrifying. He vented all the humiliation and anger Lii Yijun had caused him onto Ye Wushuang.

Lii Yijun had called him a dog, and it was all because of Ye Wushuang. If he didn’t kill him, the rage in his heart would be impossible to quell.

As Su Yang suddenly attacked, Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed into a dangerous slit. He glanced at Tang Yunxuan. The woman hadn’t said a word from beginning to end, clearly giving Su Yang her tacit approval!

"Su Yang, you dare!" Lii Yijun’s face was ghastly. He never expected Su Yang to strike so suddenly and prepared to block the attack for Ye Wushuang.

But Ye Wushuang was a step faster, striding forward.

BOOM!

A golden fist, like a golden meteor, shot toward Su Yang’s palm.

Seeing this, the cold light in Su Yang’s eyes blazed. He increased his power, pouring vast True Essence into his palm strike. The force intensified, aiming to give Ye Wushuang no chance to resist.

BOOM!

The two attacks collided violently. The air crackled and space itself seemed to tremble. The resulting shockwave spread out in all directions, crashing outward like a tidal wave.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The people gathered around Ye Wushuang had never imagined the collision would be so powerful. Before they could react, the shockwave slammed into them.

Instantly, with a series of WHOOSHES, they were sent flying backward. Those with weaker cultivation even spat out arrows of blood, clearly having sustained injuries.

They were instantly filled with regret, cursing themselves internally. ’Why did we have to crowd around Ye Wushuang? Now we’re paying the price!’

Of course, if the shockwave caused such harm to the bystanders, one could only imagine its effect on the two people right next to the epicenter of the blast.

Ye Wushuang’s body was also blasted back, but he was completely unharmed. His Pseudo-Treasure Body gave him a powerful and freakishly resilient physique. The shockwaves hadn’t damaged his body in the slightest!

Lii Yijun was a different story. Given his strength, he would have surely been injured by the blast if left unprotected.

After being pushed back, Ye Wushuang reacted instantly, moving his body in front of Lii Yijun to block the shockwave for him.

This unintentional act made Lii Yijun’s estimation of Ye Wushuang rise even higher. He felt a deeper sense of gratitude and resolved that today, even if he had to bring the full weight of the Lii Family to bear, he would not let anyone give Ye Wushuang trouble.

BOOM!

As for Su Yang, he had no freakishly strong body, nor did he have anyone to shield him. He could only endure the terrifying shockwave and the immense energy from Ye Wushuang’s fist head-on.

With a BANG, his body was sent flying to the doorway. His vital energy surged, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood but managed to suppress it.

He then snapped back to his senses and stared at Ye Wushuang with an expression of utter shock and disbelief.

Among the younger generation of Yunhuang City, aside from the two great talents Tang Yunxuan and Lii Yifei who could suppress him, there were almost none who could be considered his equal.

And now, a country boy he’d looked down upon had actually held his own against him. Who could have imagined it!

Of course, he wasn’t the only one who was shocked. So were the surrounding crowd and Tang Yunxuan.

No one noticed that even Tang Yunxuan, whose expression had been impassive the entire time, was also deeply surprised.

No one here saw things more clearly than she did. Ye Wushuang’s reflexes, his speed, and that terrifying physique that had even shocked her—she had seen it all, and it was now imprinted in her mind.

If these traits had appeared in someone at the True Essence Sixth or Seventh Layer, she might have found it reasonable. But for them to appear in someone at the True Essence First Layer was simply unbelievable.

’Ye Wushuang!’

She murmured the name in her heart. She knew that Ye Wushuang’s potential was immense, absolutely surpassing others, including herself. At that moment, the desire to recruit him was born in her heart.

’I must recruit Ye Wushuang into the Tang Family!’

So, she was waiting. Waiting for the right opportunity.

She would wait for Su Yang to attack, and at Ye Wushuang’s moment of crisis, she would intervene. That way, she could use the opportunity to win Ye Wushuang over.

"Damn bastard, you dare to fight back!" Unaware that he was being used as a pawn, Su Yang only grew more enraged. Having his attack blocked by Ye Wushuang was a clear loss of face, and he was determined to kill him to get it back.

BOOM!

His body trembled, and a terrifying burst of energy shattered the main doors. He prepared to charge at Ye Wushuang, the seething power he unleashed surprising even Ye Wushuang himself.

The gap between the True Essence Sixth Layer and the First Layer was just too vast. If not for his special constitution, he would likely have struggled to handle it!

"Su Yang, if you dare to touch him, the Lii Family will hunt you to the ends of the earth!" Lii Yijun snapped out of his daze and immediately stepped in front of Ye Wushuang, roaring at Su Yang.

"Lii Yijun, this isn’t Lii Family territory. You can’t stop me!" Su Yang’s face was grim. Juying Tower was Tang Family territory. With Tang Yunxuan here, what could Lii Yijun possibly do if he wanted to kill Ye Wushuang?

Seeing this, Tang Yunxuan’s beautiful eyes flickered. She knew it was her time to make an appearance and immediately stepped forward.

However, things rarely go according to plan. Someone else was faster than her.

"He can’t stop you. But what about with me added to the mix?"

Suddenly, a deep and indifferent voice rang out from the doorway, resonating in Su Yang’s ears like the tolling of a great bell.

Su Yang seemed to recognize the voice. His expression changed instantly, and he whipped his head around to see a tall, imposing figure standing behind him, staring at him coldly.
