Chapter 1265: Jianghu Speak
Yes, Ye Qing was famous once more. This time, he was more famous than the time he defeated the Snow Sword Celestial at the Snow Garden, or the time he defeated Taba Xuanwu at Cloud Hue Pass.
It was because Ye Qing had, as a Great Grandmaster, defeated the Three Elders of Taisui Mountain, Sunlao Taijun, Old Man of Zhi and Taoist of Sleep; the Three Stewards, Warflight, Ironface and Cloudfacing; the six Shopkeepers of Westwind Inn, Thousand Change, Shadow, Qin princess, Fist Demon, One-armed Buddha and One Sword; and hundreds of Truemen and Grandmasters.
Not only did he manage to escape confidently, he killed Shadow and Fist Demon of Westwind Inn, severely injured the rest, and massacred almost all of the Truemen and Grandmasters who took part in the battle.
The Three Elders and Three Stewards of Taisui Mountain and the six Shopkeepers of Westwind Inn were all famous veterans of the jianghu. Most of them were Great Truemen or Great Grandmasters, and Sunlao Taijun in particular was a Half-Sage. Their line-up was technically perfect as they boasted Great Grandmasters with powerful bodies, Great Truemen with masterful secret arts, master assassins with unpredictable methods, and even hundreds of Trueman and Grandmaster fodders.
Forget a “mere” Great Grandmaster like Ye Qing, this line-up could have given a Sage a run for their money. By all rights, Ye Qing should have succumbed to his foes.
In reality, Ye Qing did not just escape his pursuers, he dealt a severe blow to both Taisui Mountain and Westwind Inn. He made them look like a bunch of weaklings who looked strong on the outside but were really pathetic on the inside.
This failure was so extraordinary that Taisui Mountain and Westwind Inn practically became the laughingstock of the jianghu, no, the entire world overnight. On the other hand, Ye Qing became the shiniest star using them as his stepping stones.
Before this, at least half of Ye Qing’s successes were attributed to the Earthly Sovereign Bell. But now, there was no longer any doubt regarding his strength. He was world famous not because he possessed the Earthly Sovereign Bell, but because he was truly powerful in his own right.
Speaking of which, countless people were gossiping about Ye Qing’s true strength once more.
