Chapter 150 - 148: Turns Out These Two Mischievous Kids Are the Strongest
"You guys are really foolish."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen seriously nodded his little head, took another sip of Beast Milk, and then said with full disdain, "My sister and I have told you many times already, it’s all eaten by us, none left. You just can’t understand, if that isn’t foolish, what is? You must be the kind of people Dad always says whose brains aren’t fully developed yet."
Brains not fully developed?
Does this brat insult people without using swear words?
The Heavenly Prides wanted to laugh but dared not, their faces turning red.
After all, these were the five great young Martial Saints, whom they could not afford to provoke.
Pfft!
Su Qingyu, however, burst out laughing, bending forward and backward, covering her stomach with one hand, and pointing at Lei Wanjun and the others with the other hand, unable to straighten herself from laughing.
She was the fourth Heavenly Pride of Jiuzhou, ranked above Lei Wanjun, naturally unafraid of Lei Wanjun and the others.
"You damn brat, you’re seeking death."
Lei Wanjun became furious, his body flashing with bright arcs of electricity, the sky also changing as thunder and lightning roared.
"Let’s go together."
Young Sword Saint Liu Zhentian shouted loudly, and the five great young Martial Saints joined forces to launch an attack.
Long Shaoyu, who had intended to stop them, paused in his steps.
Letting the two brats fight with these five young Martial Saints would be good, as it would shift the attention of the Heavenly Prides onto them, facilitating his actions.
Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai quietly watched, not planning to interfere. They too wanted to see the true power of these two brats, which would decide how they would treat them in the future.
Su Qingyu’s expression darkened, her smile fading as she said coldly, "Lei Wanjun, do you have no shame? So many of you ganging up on two kids, aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughing stock if word gets out?"
Lei Wanjun ignored her, for he knew just how strong these two brats were; they were no match for him alone, only together did they stand a chance.
Facing the attack of the five great young Martial Saints, Chu Xin and Chu Chen calmly took a sip of Beast Milk, then performed hand seals releasing waves of Sword Energy and Sword Qi that clashed with the attack of the five great young Martial Saints.
Thunderous sounds were endless; even the Divine Mountain trembled.
"So strong!"
"These two brats actually withstood the attack of the five great young Martial Saints; what terrifying strength."
The Heavenly Prides, looking at the two unhurt brats who continued to casually drink their Beast Milk, all wore shocked expressions on their faces.
Su Qingyu was equally shocked. She wasn’t much stronger than Lei Wanjun, and she too wouldn’t dare be so reckless facing Lei Wanjun’s attacks, let alone facing two young Sword Saints and two young Sword Saints.
Even Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai couldn’t help but shrink their pupils.
Facing the attack of the five great young Martial Saints, if it were they, they definitely would not dare to withstand it directly but would have to evade.
Yet these two brats easily blocked the attack of the five great young Martial Saints, indicating their strength might even surpass their own, or at least not be inferior.
It’s laughable that previously they had only seen these two brats as mere followers of that masked Heavenly Pride coming in for training and hadn’t taken them seriously.
Unexpectedly, these two brats were the strongest.
"Hmph!"
The five great young Martial Saints let out a cold hum together, their aura surged anew, preparing to launch another attack.
The five great young Martial Saints working together, refusing to believe these two brats could turn the tide.
Chu Xin and Chu Chen, undaunted, took another sip of Beast Milk, stored the milk bottle back in the Sumeru Ring, and got serious.
"Buzz!"
Just then, an unusual fluctuation spread out.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see the Divine Lotus in the Ancient Divine Pond sparkling with strange lights, its closed petals about to bloom.
"The Divine Lotus is about to mature."
Some Heavenly Prides exclaimed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe our primary goal is to break through the Guardian Formation of the Ancient Divine Pool and seize the Divine Lotus."
Su Qingyu spoke up, her voice calm, "Otherwise, once he arrives, we might no longer have a chance. Before that happens, I hope everyone can set aside past grievances and focus on breaking the Barrier first. Any existing hatred can be settled during the struggle for the Divine Lotus, how does that sound?"
"What Miss Su says makes perfect sense."
Mu Yebai nodded in agreement.
"First, let’s break through the Barrier."
Li Yuxin also spoke up coldly.
Lei Wanjun and his four companions exchanged looks, then turned to gaze at the blooming Divine Lotus, finally nodding their heads.
"Alright."
Chu Xin nodded her little head and then began drinking some Beast Milk.
Chu Chen, looking at Su Qingyu with his babyish voice, said, "Pretty sister, we will listen to you."
"Thank you, little brother."
Su Qingyu smiled brightly.
Long Shaoyu said nothing, realizing that the two mischievous kids could no longer hide their strength, so he let them continue to draw high profile, attracting the attention of all the Heavenly Prides.
"This time, I hope you don’t hold back your strength, attack with all your might."
Li Yuxin said coolly as she looked at Chu Xin and Chu Chen.
"Why should I listen to you?"
As Chu Xin drank her Beast Milk, she tilted her head and looked at Li Yuxin, her large round eyes filled with confusion.
"Yeah, why should we listen to you?"
Chu Chen also held his milk bottle, asking doubtfully.
They were willing to listen to Su Qingyu only because her swordsmanship was similar to that of Long Yufei, which made them feel a closeness.
As for this Li Yuxin, they had no connection with her at all.
Moreover, her always aloof and cold demeanor was not at all to their liking.
"You!"
Li Yuxin was furious.
As the second Heavenly Pride of Jiuzhou and the first in Central State, no peer cultivator had ever spoken to her like this before. And here was this little brat, likely not even five years old by height, daring to defy her.
Chu Xin leisurely sipped her Beast Milk, her large round eyes shifting slightly as she said in her childlike voice, "Actually, it’s not impossible for us to attack with full force. You must be the first Heavenly Pride of your state, right? Give me the Secret Realm map you have, and we’ll strike with all our might at this Magic Array Barrier."
"A Secret Realm map?"
The Heavenly Prides were momentarily stunned; the greatest utility of these maps was to locate the Ancient Divine Pool.
Now that the Ancient Divine Pool was already found, the maps were practically useless.
However, Chu Xin and Chu Chen were unaware of this—they thought the teleportation portal would still require a map to locate.
Compared to any Ancient Divine Lotus, what they desired more were the state-level Secret Realm maps from the top Heavenly Prides of each state.
Li Yuxin’s expression grew colder but, despite the map’s diminished importance to her, the ego of being the second Heavenly Pride of Jiuzhou, and the top in Central State, prevented her from leaving the insult by a mere child unaddressed.
"Yuxin sister, a useless map in exchange for the full effort of two strong fighters is worth it," Su Qingyu whispered.
"Yes, Miss Li, it’s just a useless map after all, just give it away. If we can break the Barrier ahead of time, then we have a good chance of securing the Divine Lotus. No matter who among us secures the Ancient Divine Lotus and forges the Ancient Divine Body, we can reclaim the glory of Jiuzhou’s top Heavenly Pride from Long Shaotian’s grasp," Mu Yebai added.
All three of them hailed from Central State, which has always been the strongest among the states of Jiuzhou. Historically, each generation’s top Heavenly Pride came from Central State. However, this time an anomaly had arisen with Long Shaotian from Longzhou claiming the position, a disgrace they were determined to undo even if it meant uniting all three top Heavenly Prides of Central State.
"Fine!"
After much deliberation, Li Yuxin finally nodded.
