"My husband..."
Before his hand touched Liu Qingmei's lips, Ye Xingchen flicked his wrist, and a golden light appeared. This golden light brushed against Liu Sanqing's hand, and a cloud of black smoke rose up.
Liu Sanqing winced in pain and quickly withdrew his hand. He then turned his head and looked at Ye Xingchen with a mixture of shock and anger.
The golden light Ye Xingchen just used was the Demon Subduing Record, which is specifically designed to subdue such demons. Although the damage caused by this demonic power was not significant, it was definitely not pleasant for him.
"Who are you?" Liu Sanqing stared at Ye Xingchen, his pupils already turning green.
"Ye Xingchen," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"What do you want to do?" Liu Sanqing asked coldly.
"Don't do anything, she's my woman, don't touch her." Ye Xingchen pointed at Liu Qingmei and said, "If you touch her, I won't be polite to you."
"Your woman?" Liu Sanqing's tone grew even colder: "She's my betrothed wife, when did she become your woman?"
"Hehe, is that so?" Ye Xingchen laughed: "You can go find whoever you hired her, but if you dare to touch a single hair on her head now, I'll chop off your hand."
"In these three provinces, someone actually dares to speak to me like that?" Liu Sanqing stared at Ye Xingchen, his tone becoming somewhat unfriendly.
"Hmm, are you surprised? Do you find it a bit unbelievable?" Ye Xingchen smiled.
"Don't force me to kill you. I haven't killed anyone in a long time." Liu Sanqing sneered, "Besides, I don't want to kill anyone in front of Meiniang."
"What's your relationship with me? You should explain it to him clearly." Ye Xingchen glanced at Liu Qingmei.
"Okay." Liu Qingmei nodded, then she mustered her courage and said, "Liu Sanqing, there are some things I need to make clear to you."
"I have publicly announced my termination of employment with you, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"This is Ye Xingchen, the man I, Liu Qingmei, chose for myself, so please don't bother us anymore."
While she was speaking, Liu Sanqing kept her eyes on him, and he wasn't angry when he heard the result.
"Hehe, Meiniang, do you know that this is betrayal?" Liu Sanqing said with a smile, "We were engaged. Since you accepted my things, you are mine."
"And do you treat marriage like a game? You can just refuse like that? Let me tell you, there's no room for discussion. Now, come to me, and I promise I won't hurt you..."
Liu Sanqing extended his hand to her, appearing calm and confident.
He believed Liu Qingmei wouldn't reject him because he was strong enough.
Faced with his outstretched hand, Liu Qingmei did not hesitate at all. She shook her head and took a step back.
“I gave you a chance.” Liu Sanqing’s face gradually darkened. “If you don’t want that chance, I’d rather ruin you than have you with someone else.”
"Friend, be careful when you talk big. Don't let your tongue slip through your fingers." Ye Xingchen sneered as he shielded Liu Qingmei behind him: "Huang Wenxing, protect her."
"Yes, Immortal." The newly formed Huang Wenxing stepped forward and stood beside Liu Qingmei. He took a deep breath, and his demonic power surged. Then he stared warily at Liu Sanqing.
“Huh, you…” Liu Sanqing turned his head in surprise, his cold gaze falling on Huang Wenxing.
"My name is Huang Wenxing. Greetings, Third Master Liu." Huang Wenxing nodded.
"How did you cultivate to take form?" Liu Sanqing's expression changed slightly. He had clearly placed a restrictive spell on the area within hundreds of miles of Jiyang City.
By cutting off the path for spirits to take form, their cultivation becomes much less effective.
Logically speaking, no spirit or monster should be able to cultivate into a human form and threaten his position within the next thirty years, but how did this guy in front of him manage to do it?
"Originally, I was also affected by your restrictions and couldn't get past the final hurdle," Huang Wenxing said. "But thanks to Immortal Ye's help, I was fortunate enough to cultivate and become an immortal. Speaking of this, I should thank Mr. Ye properly."
"Did you help him break free of his shackles?" Liu Sanqing slowly turned around, a chill running through his eyes.
"The restrictions I placed on them are impossible to break. How did you manage to do it?"
"You think it's impossible to break through, but that's just your opinion," Ye Xingchen said with a faint smile. "Just because you can't break through doesn't mean others can't. That's the difference."
"Not only can I help him break free from his shackles, but I can also use a wisp of innate energy to help him take shape. You probably don't know about this method, do you?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Heh... I always thought I was invincible in Jiyang City, but it seems I was a bit too arrogant." Liu Sanqing sneered, "Ye Xingchen, you're quite unique."
"Yes, that's my strength. It's good that you can discover my strength." Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Enough with the nonsense. Your appearance has threatened my position, and you even stole my wife. If I don't avenge this, I'm not Liu Sanqing." Liu Sanqing sneered.
"Revenge, this grudge must be avenged." Ye Xingchen nodded heavily: "Even if you don't come out, I will still come looking for you. Originally, I had the Liu family notify you to come here within three days to meet your death."
"But now that you're here, let's settle our grudges here and there."
"Alright, alright, it's been a long time since I've heard anyone dare to speak to me like that." Liu Sanqing nodded slowly, then looked up at Ye Xingchen: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"
"I don't want to die." Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "If anyone should die, it's you. Oh, you placed a restriction, severed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and prevented your kind from cultivating."
"Aren't you afraid of incurring divine wrath by doing this?"
"I, Liu Sanqing, was born between heaven and earth, and I have achieved what I have today without relying on heaven or earth." Liu Sanqing turned his body, and a wisp of green smoke rose up, his figure continuously growing taller.
A moment later, he transformed into a monster with a human body on top and a snake on the bottom, and his body grew to over ten feet tall.
He shouted loudly, "Therefore I have complete confidence to disrespect heaven and earth, and fear neither ghosts nor gods. Heaven's wrath? Heh heh, in this world of Jiyang City, I am heaven, what can you do to me?"
"Alright, alright..." Ye Xingchen nodded slowly: "You're so arrogant, I really have to punish you on behalf of Heaven."
"You? Come on." Liu Sanqing spread his arms and glared angrily at Ye Xingchen.
At the same time, he opened his blood-red maw and sprayed a mouthful of green mist at Ye Xingchen.
In an instant, green mist filled the air. Ye Xingchen waved his hand, and Chixiao appeared in his palm. With a shout, Chixiao in his hand suddenly shone brightly.
