Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 2052

The wind had weakened, and the stormy sky was calm once again.

Like the weather, the previously rowdy atmosphere on Mount Yan quietened down as well after Chu Yuan appeared.

The place became eerily quiet. Everyone stopped what they were doing, and members of Chu Sect knelt on the ground to reverently welcome Chu Yuan.

The martial artists from China looked up, and colors drained from their faces. They felt vulnerable in the presence of his aura of power.

Chu Yuan ignored those prostrating Chu Sect members. He stood on high grounds and gazed around, taking in the sights of Mount Yan. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“How many years has it been? I remember I was still a kid when I came to Mount Yan last time. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half my life has gone past...” The familiar place brought back memories for Chu Yuan, and he couldn't help but recall the good old days.

“Back in those days, China's martial arts world was flourishing. Fighters with the Supreme title were feared by their foes. After all these years, I did not expect to find that the martial arts world had declined so badly. Without Chu Tianfan, you are nothing at all.” He shook his head as he mocked the Chinese, a wry smile on his face.

When he initially planned his attack on China, he thought he had to mobilize the whole sect to fight against War God Castle. After all, China was where martial arts originated, and the Chinese had a long history of producing top martial artists. Thus, Chu Yuan would not dare to underestimate them.

However, when the actual battle began, he realized he had overestimated the martial arts world of China.

Those Supreme fighters under him successfully dominated China and cornered those top fighters in Mount Yan. He did not even need to mobilize Demonic Duo.

However, Ye Qingtian presented him with a surprise.

“You are the War God of China, Ye Qingtian, right? I remember you were not even among the top ten on the Sky Ranking previously. However, you actually managed to single-handedly stop my army and broke through our Comprehensive Array Attack formation. Looks like you've made great improvements over the years! With that ability, I would not be surprised if you are among the top five in the Sky Ranking now,” he complimented as his gaze landed on Ye Qingtian.

Chu Yuan had a good understanding of the situation he was facing.

Basically, China's martial arts world had already lost to Chu Sect.

King of Fighters and Sword Saint could no longer fight against them as they were gravely injured.

Out of the ten so-called Grandmasters, more than half were already dead, and the remaining ones were of no threat to Chu Sect.

The only person they had to be wary of was Ye Qingtian, the man standing right before his eyes.

Ye Qingtian turned around and looked straight into Chu Yuan's eyes, his determined face betraying no hint of sorrow or joy.

“Should I feel honored, or should I be fearful that Old Mr. Chu actually knows me by my name?” he said wryly.

“It doesn't matter if it is honor or fear. You only have to realize that today is the last day for you, War God Castle, and also for China's martial arts world. That's all you need to know,” Chu Yuan said with a smile. He spoke calmly, but there was an arrogant and menacing tone in his voice.

“Hahaha, I would not question that today could mark the end of me, Ye Qingtian, and War God Castle. However, don't you think you are being too arrogant to say this will be the end of China's martial arts world?” Ye Qingtian refuted.

“In the past five thousand years, the world had seen uncountable heroes who rose to dominate their era, and China's martial arts world had faced no lack of challenges from those powerful foes. However, we survived and made it to this day. You may be the most powerful one at this moment, Chu Yuan, but when compared to those historical legends, you are nothing. So if we survived all of them, what makes you think you can totally wipe us out?” Ye Qingtian scoffed mockingly at Chu Yuan.

“Let's see for ourselves then.” Chu Yuan raised his hand and instantly, the ground below them began to tremble, and the skies turned stormy and dark.

All the energies from heaven and earth seemed to be spinning toward Chu Yuan and gathering into his hand. The atmosphere was boiling over.

One move from Chu Yuan and the universe could not help but tremble.

That had to be the mightiest god realm power!

“Leave, War God!”

“Quick! Leave!”

“You are not his match!”

“Don't worry about us. You have to live on!”

“Help our martial arts world regain the glory days!”

“So long as you're around, our martial arts world has hope and will not be wiped out!”

After witnessing Chu Yuan's devastating prowess, King of Fighters and Sword Saint knew China was in a precarious position. Although they were in great danger themselves, they selflessly urged Ye Qingtian to leave and save himself.

“Please leave, War God!”

“Please get out of Mount Yan, War God!”

All the martial artists were in despair. They could not hide their sorrow, and tears were brimming in their eyes. They knew the end was near, but they harbored hope of keeping a spark alive so China's martial art world could flourish again in the future.

That spark was Ye Qingtian!

So long as they kept him alive, the hope of reviving China's martial arts world stayed alive.

Instantly, all the bloodied and desperate Chinese martial artists knelt on the ground and pleaded sorrowfully with Ye Qingtian, urging him to make an escape and leave Mount Yan.

However, Ye Qingtian shook his head and rejected their request.

“Sword Saint, you have known me for so many years, so you should know my personality by now. You are all my brothers and my fellow countrymen. Do you want me to abandon all of you and then live on with guilt for the rest of my life? Sorry, but I can't do that! I will stand by you and we'll face this together! If we were to die, we die together!” Ye Qingtian spoke calmly. He seemed to have a nonchalant attitude toward life and death.

“This is not the time to be emotional, Ye! As Ye Qingtian, the War God of China and the most senior Hall Master of War God Castle, you have to see the bigger picture! Compared to the continuity and survival of our martial arts world, our lives mean nothing! So leave now!” Sword Saint pleaded, nearly bursting into tears in despair.

King of Fighters also harshly chided Ye Qingtian for being myopic and urged him to get out of Mount Yan immediately.

“See the big picture?” Ye Qingtian suddenly laughed out loud.

“So you gave up on Ye Fan back in those days because of this so-called big picture? So what happened in the end? Our martial arts world ended up being run to the ground, and China is in grave danger now. Is that the big picture you envisaged?” he questioned.

“Mo Gucheng and Xiao Chen, remember this—I'm different from you! I don't care about your so-called big picture. In my eyes, the big picture is the people! It's all of you, those that are still alive! So long as I'm here, I will not allow anyone to hurt my fellow countrymen. I'll fight till the end, and if I have to, I'll die by my people!” Ye Qingtian announced loudly, his voice echoing through the whole of Mount Yan.

King of Fighters and Sword Saint were left speechless. They stayed dumbfounded for a long while. They knew Ye Qingtian was not only expressing how he felt about the situation at that moment. He was also berating them for what they had done to Ye Fan. Although many years had passed, he had not forgotten about their decision to forsake Ye Fan.

At that moment, the energy field radiating from Chu Yuan had reached a peak. Even from afar, one could feel the suffocating pressure.

Ye Qingtian stomped on the ground and leaped into the sky. He decided to take Chu Yuan on in mid-air so as to minimize the dangers to the Chinese martial artists.

“Ye Qingtian, if you submit to me now, I can spare your life. Otherwise, Mount Yan will become your burial ground!” Chu Yuan looked at Ye Qingtian from afar and calmly said.

Ye Qingtian laughed out loud and replied, “What is death? It is but a long peaceful sleep. I have practiced martial arts all my life, so it would be an honor to be able to have a battle with a god realm master before I die.”

“However, may I ask you a question before we begin, Old Mr. Chu? Why did you put in so much effort to lead Chu Sect into battles all over the world? Is it merely to satisfy your ambition to be the superpower and to lead the world?” Ye Qingtian put forth the question that had been bugging him.
