Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 214 - 46: The Grandmaster’s Might Shocks the Crowd—Challenge Me If You Dare_2
As for Ye Liuyun, his opponent,
he didn’t show any reaction at all.
Instead, he just crossed his arms, looking at Lord Thousand Households Zhou with an interested gaze.
His posture made it seem like the one actually fighting wasn’t him at all—he was just here for the show.
This attitude made Lord Thousand Households Zhou feel looked down upon.
Even if your cultivation is a bit higher than mine, reaching Innate Perfection, isn’t this kind of contempt for others taking things too far?
"Arrogant!"
A shout of anger rang out.
Lord Thousand Households Zhou stomped the ground with one foot, his figure flashing toward Ye Liuyun at lightning speed.
Many people, seeing this, became serious.
They were all planning to use this opportunity,
to observe what martial arts Ye Liuyun used—maybe when they had to fight him in the future, they could figure out a way to counter it in advance.
"Strike!"
Most of the Embroidered Uniform Guard practiced saber skills, and so did Lord Thousand Households Zhou.
The saber energy slashed at full force, as if trying to swallow Ye Liuyun in a tide of inner strength.
Yet, seeing Ye Liuyun still had no intention to defend himself,
Lord Thousand Households Zhou only put more strength into his attack.
Since you’re still looking down on me at this moment, then go to hell!
"Bang!"
An ear-splitting explosion echoed out.
Everyone felt their eyes blur—most hadn’t even realized what happened yet.
Lord Thousand Households Zhou was sent flying like a meteor, slamming hard into the wall inside the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters. The wall, perfectly fine just a second ago, was smashed to rubble.
As for Lord Thousand Households Zhou,
he ended up buried in a pile of rubble, his fate unknown.
"???"
Everyone had hoped to take advantage of this challenge to figure out Ye Liuyun’s moves,
but now,
they hadn’t seen a single thing—the fight was already over.
Almost no one even noticed when Ye Liuyun made his move, or when Lord Thousand Households Zhou got blasted away.
All the eyes that were eager to try a moment ago were now full of shock.
They stared, stunned, in Ye Liuyun’s direction.
For a moment, it seemed they didn’t know what to say.
"Anyone else wants to give it a try?"
After finishing all this, Ye Liuyun casually retracted his hand and glanced at the others with the same indifference.
"..."
No one answered.
They weren’t stupid—challenging someone is one thing, but looking for death is something else entirely.
"Grandmaster!"
Previously, no one quite understood where Ye Liuyun’s confidence came from.
But now Lei Zheng finally got it.
As the Northern Governor, Lei Zheng’s cultivation wasn’t the highest, but he’d had plenty of experience, following the General of Border Defense into battle in his youth.
He’d witnessed with his own eyes what Grandmaster-level fights were really like.
So, the moment Ye Liuyun made his move, Lei Zheng understood—
Ye Liuyun’s strength was not Innate Perfection at all, but truly at the Grandmaster Realm.
"Impossible!"
Lei Zheng didn’t bother to hide his exclamation; quite a few people around heard it.
Even though they knew,
with Lei Zheng’s personality, he was not the type to joke about things like this; still, his words left everyone stunned.
A Grandmaster? How could Ye Liuyun possibly be a Grandmaster?
"I have to say, Northern Governor, you’ve got a sharp eye!"
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun grinned and said to Lei Zheng—a roundabout way of admitting he’d reached the Grandmaster Realm.
Facing a smiling Ye Liuyun,
Lei Zheng, after his initial disbelief, recovered quickly and replied with a smile,
"You and I are both Governors—no need for such formality. If you wish, you may address me by name."
If Ye Liuyun was still only Innate Perfection, even if he took this Governor seat, Lei Zheng wouldn’t care much.
But if Ye Liuyun truly was a Grandmaster,
then that changed everything.
"If there’s ever an opportunity in the future, I’d love to share a drink with Brother Ye."
Who said martial generals aren’t smart?
Isn’t Lei Zheng pretty clever? Ye Liuyun might be close to the Emperor, but Lei Zheng would be the General of Border Defense in the future.
There’s every chance for an alliance down the road.
"You’re too polite, Brother Lei Zheng!"
Since Lei Zheng had already given him so much face, Ye Liuyun wasn’t about to snub him, either.
He replied with a broad, friendly smile.
Hearing this, Lei Zheng simply chuckled and left with his people.
There was nothing more worth watching here.
After all, Ye Liuyun was a Grandmaster.
If these Lords Thousand Households could defeat Ye Liuyun, now that would really be the stuff of nightmares.
Watching Lei Zheng leave, Ye Liuyun withdrew his gaze and looked at the others around him. At the same time, he made no effort to conceal his cultivation—Grandmaster Realm inner strength poured out, enveloping everyone in the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Everyone present suddenly felt much heavier,
that feeling of being utterly overpowered, as if he could only be looked up to, made it clear to all—Ye Liuyun was without question a true Grandmaster, not just the subject of a rumor.
"Anyone else want to go next?"
He spread his hands, grinning at everyone before him,
making it clear that if anyone wanted a fight, he was ready anytime.
"..."
Many people exchanged glances.
Now that they knew Ye Liuyun was a Grandmaster, unless they were complete fools, they’d realize that challenging him now wasn’t just embarrassing themselves—it was suicide.
After a bit more eye contact,
in the end, everyone tacitly bowed to Ye Liuyun as a show of respect.
