Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Ye Tianming Discovers That Ye Xiu is Huang Quan

”One can’t be too greedy. Training 108 of them for you is already more than enough,” Ye Xiu said, refusing decisively. ”But rest assured, I will train the 108 Generals to be no weaker than you.”

The Eight Great National Protector War Gods were instantly excited. By Huang Quan’s logic, doesn’t this mean the future 108 Generals will all become War Gods? If so, Xuanse’s national defense will become formidable!

”Then we’ll have to trouble you!” The Eight Great National Protector War Gods bowed respectfully. ”If there’s nothing else, we will take our leave.”

”Mm,” Ye Xiu nodded.

After the Eight Great National Protector War Gods left, Qin Qing and Chloe suddenly realized something was very wrong with Ye Xiu. His fists were clenched, his teeth were gritted, and his breathing was rapid and shaky. The whites of his eyes were shot with blood as he glared ferociously at Ye Tianming, as if forcefully suppressing a violent urge to kill.

Then, they saw Ye Tianming and Ye Shaokang, who had been slumped on the ground, slowly get to their feet.

Ye Tianming said coldly, ”Ye Xiu, I don’t know how you subdued those 18 men from Bister, nor do I know why the Eight Great National Protector War Gods fear you so much. But you shouldn’t have let them go. Now that they’re gone, your life is in my hands.”

Ye Shaokang sneered, ”He probably thought those 18 men from Bister and the Eight Great National Protector War Gods scared us so much that we wouldn’t dare to touch him.”

Chloe stared at Ye Tianming and Ye Shaokang as if they were fools. Did these two idiots leave their brains at home? They still haven’t figured out Ye Xiu’s identity.

”You two should go to a hospital and get your heads checked. There’s definitely something wrong with them,” Qin Qing said. By now, even she had guessed Ye Xiu’s identity, yet Ye Tianming and Ye Shaokang were still clueless. They’re professionals when it comes to courting death.

”Insolence!” Ye Shaokang rebuked. ”How dare you insult us, Qin Qing? Do you have a death wish?”

”I’d love to die, but I’ve suddenly realized there’s no one in this world who can kill me. Frustrating, isn’t it?” Qin Qing shrugged, deliberately provoking Ye Shaokang.

”You...” Ye Shaokang was furious but didn’t make a move. He couldn’t defeat Chloe.

”As expected of my granddaughter-in-law. You’ve got guts.” Ye Tianming looked at Qin Qing with approval and said, ”If you convince Ye Xiu to hand over the Marrow Cleansing Pill, return the 4 billion he swindled from Ye Shaokang, and come back with me to the Ye Family to cure your father, then for your sake, I can leave his body intact. Otherwise, you, Ye Xiu, and the entire Qin Family will have to die.”

”Transfer the ownership of your house, car, and all the antiques Ye Xiu collected to me as well,” Ye Shaokang added. ”And all the money Ye Xiu earned abroad over the last ten years—give it all to me.”

Qin Qing was defeated by Ye Tianming and Ye Shaokang’s sheer arrogance and stupidity. She said to Ye Xiu, ”Please, just kill them already. I feel like my IQ is dropping just by being near them.”

”Kill us? Ha!” Ye Tianming scoffed. ”Qin Qing, I’ve already advanced to the War God realm. Do you really think Ye Xiu, a mere Great Grandmaster, can kill me—urgh...”

Before he could finish his sentence, his vision blurred. He felt a hand grip his neck, and only then did he realize that Ye Xiu had somehow appeared right in front of him, clutching his throat.

”In the past ten years, I’ve killed 992 War Gods. Don’t even talk about a piece of trash like you who just barely advanced. Back in the day, even the number one on the War God Ranking couldn’t take a single move from me,” Ye Xiu snarled, squeezing the words out through gritted teeth.

”You... you’ve killed War Gods? C-could it be... you...” At that moment, Ye Tianming’s mind finally caught up, and he at last guessed Ye Xiu’s identity. He stammered in terror, ”You... you’re Huang Quan?”

”Surprised? Is it unexpected?” Ye Xiu asked with a cruel, cold smirk.

With that confirmation, the realization struck Ye Tianming and Ye Shaokang like a bolt of lightning. Their faces turned deathly pale, and their bodies began to tremble violently. Ye Shaokang collapsed to the ground and wet himself.

”How... how is this possible? You’re only 26! How did you do it? You... you, you, you...” Ye Tianming was so frightened he became incoherent. He already believed that Ye Xiu was Huang Quan. After all, he was now helpless in Ye Xiu’s grasp, his War God-level Martial Prowess seemingly gone. Besides Huang Quan, absolutely no one else in the world could do this. But still! He couldn’t begin to imagine how Ye Xiu had managed it. A 26-year-old Great Grandmaster was already inconceivable. A 26-year-old War God was simply non-existent. Yet here was Ye Xiu, possessing God Slaying power at only 26! And ten years ago, when he was forced to flee overseas, he was only 16—a boy with no strength to speak of! In just one year, he had gained the power to slay gods! Heavens! How on earth did Ye Xiu cultivate?

”After a decade of slaughter, I thought there was nothing left in this world that could stir my heart. I thought that after returning home, I could treat destroying the Ye Family and all those who framed me like a game...” Ye Xiu didn’t answer Ye Tianming’s question. He took a deep breath, trying desperately to suppress his violent Killing Intent, and continued, ”Now I realize I was wrong. The first moment I saw you, I couldn’t hold back the urge to flay you alive...”

Hearing Ye Xiu’s words, which were drenched in malice, and feeling the seething Killing Intent growing thicker around him, Ye Tianming and Ye Shaokang finally panicked.

”Don’t!” Ye Tianming shrieked in terror. ”Ye Xiu, you can’t kill me! I’m your grandfather, your own grandfather! Killing me would be an act of gross unfilial piety!”

”Trying to guilt-trip me?” Ye Xiu said scornfully. ”That only works on people who have morals. From the moment I was forced overseas ten years ago, sold by human traffickers to a training camp in Xipoloya, the word ’morals’ ceased to exist in my dictionary.”

As he spoke, the hand gripping Ye Tianming’s neck gradually tightened its hold.

”Don’t... cough, cough... don’t...” Ye Tianming shrieked in terror, like a frightened bird. ”It was Zheng Yiwen who goaded me into driving you and your mother out of the Ye Family back then! Zheng Yiwen is already dead, so you’ve had your revenge! Besides, I regret it! I truly regret it! Ye Xiu, please don’t kill me! I’ll let you return to the Ye Family! I’ll make you the family head...”

At that moment, Ye Tianming was filled with genuine regret. The grandson he had once dismissed as worthless trash had grown to a height that the entire world looked up to. If he hadn’t driven Ye Xiu and his mother out of the Ye Family back then, if he had nurtured him with care instead, the Ye Family would now be the number one family in the world, the most prestigious clan in the entire Ancient Martial Circle.

Too bad there’s no medicine for regret in this world.

”What a load of bullshit!” Ye Xiu cursed. ”If it were only Zheng Yiwen who had schemed against me and caused the deaths of my mother and maternal grandparents, I wouldn’t have done anything to the Ye Family.

”But a year after my mother and I were kicked out, you ordered the entire Ye Family to use all of its power to bankrupt my grandparents’ family, forcing me, my mother, and my grandparents out onto the streets!”
