Xu Yu assumed the other party was there for revenge, and in his hurried words, he distanced himself from the situation, shifting all the blame, whether real or fabricated, onto someone else.

After listening to his story, the Tsar straightened up, rested his arms on his knees, and said in a deep voice:

"That Ye Chi is not even eighteen years old, yet he defeated me, a third-tier person?"

Faced with the Tsar's questioning, Xu Yu nodded repeatedly!

"Yes! His talent is extremely monstrous! Before he was even eighteen, he already knew Armament Haki and could even slice through bullets at point-blank range!"

Xu Yuyue spoke hastily, and the other person's expression also darkened.

He panicked and hurriedly tried to exonerate himself again, saying, "If I hadn't stopped him then, he would have definitely killed your men!"

"is it?"

Zhou Changxiong glanced over and, seeing Xu Yu's terrified face, stood up.

His imposing figure exuded an intense sense of oppression in the dark, unlit hall.

"In that case, I should thank you."

The other party's deep voice came through, and Xu Yu was instantly terrified.

He was terrified, having no idea what the other party intended to do. As the Tsar approached, Xu Yu hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, saying:

"No, no! It's that Ye Chi who deserves to die! I saw it on his ID card; he's coming to Hangzhou today to obtain the Devil Fruit power!"

"If you just send someone to stop Fanchao and prevent him from obtaining the Devil Fruit power, no matter how monstrous he is, he'll be a useless piece of trash after today!"

Xu Yu continued to talk incessantly, self-righteously, while Zhou Changxiong stopped in his tracks.

The two suddenly stood side by side, their huge height difference and imposing aura creating an unparalleled sense of oppression.

Suppressing his fear, Xu Yu spoke at length before asking in a low, trembling voice:

"What do you think?"

Zhou Changxiong glanced at him suddenly, and with a single glance, he saw through Xu Yu's petty intentions.

"Do you think I need you to teach me how to do things?"

Muttering...

The chilling words made Xu Yu's throat tighten.

Before he could even offer any excuses, *smack*!

A large hand patted his shoulder, startling Xu Yu!

The Tsar looked at the people who were trembling with fear like ants, turned around, bent down, and squinted at them, saying:

"Did you have any issues with him?"

Being stared at by a fourth-tier powerhouse as venomous as a scorpion, even with the Calm Fruit, Xu Yu was terrified.

His teeth chattered as he stammered, "No...no..."

Zhou Changxiong's lips curled slightly as he said, "No? I'll go ask the people below; they might know."

After the Tsar finished speaking, he turned around, and Xu Yu's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this!

Why would he get involved with someone like that?!

Why would someone like that come to his house? They had already moved out immediately!

Xu Yu was filled with despair. The other party was going to find his mother. If he couldn't get anything out of them... his whole family might die!

He doesn't want to die!

He didn't want his mother to die either!

Chapter 47 The Ruthless Realm Emperor

Just as the Tsar was about to step out of the doorway, Xu Yu closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and cried out in anguish, "Don't go looking for them! I... I lied!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changxiong turned his head and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Xu Yu's back, soaked with cold sweat, trembled, and his wide eyes were filled with fear as he said:

"I hate him! He's the one who made me lose my job! He stole the woman I loved! He didn't eliminate all your subordinates..."

"That was made up... Please spare my family's life! I didn't touch your men, and these things have nothing to do with us!"

As Xu Yu's anxious voice faded, the empty hall fell silent for a moment. Zhou Changxiong said, his expression unreadable, "Very well, come here."

Xu Yu looked at Zhou Changxiong with surprise. Under the other party's sharp and unyielding gaze, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over.

Zhou Changxiong stared at the man who was so frightened that his whole body looked as if he had been soaked in water. He reached out, took a deep drag on his cigar, took it out, and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

Amidst the swirling smoke, silent words were spoken:

"A man, if the woman he loves has been stolen from him, he should go and win her back himself. Instead..."

The Tsar paused there, and Xu Yu, thinking he was being admonished, listened attentively.

Under Xu Yu's gaze, Zhou Changxiong put the cigar back into his mouth, and the cigar shook up and down as he moved his mouth.

"...instead of fantasizing about using other people's hands to get revenge. Do you know what I hate most?"

Hearing the questioning tone in the other person's voice, Xu Yu shook his head.

Zhou Changxiong stared at the innocent Xu Yu, his words gradually turning cold.

"I hate it when people treat me like an idiot."

The tone, which seemed to freeze the air, made Xu Yu instantly feel as if he were walking on thin ice!

He was so panicked that he didn't know what to do and kept begging for forgiveness, saying, "I'm sorry! I was blinded by anger before, please forgive me!"

Zhou Changxiong smiled and raised a hand, saying, "Also, I'm the kind of person who dislikes forgiving others the most."

Xu Yu was alarmed. He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen!

"Uh-huh..."

His pupils contracted, his astonished gaze sweeping over Zhou Changxiong's terrifying smile before finally settling on his own abdomen.

There, a hand completely engulfed his body, and a tearing pain instantly surged from the wound.

He suddenly felt all the water in his body rushing towards the uncontrollable hand of that person!

An overwhelming sense of impending death descended upon him. Xu Yu's eyes, bulging with the will to survive, finally pleaded with the Tsar:

"Please...don't..."

When death arrives, the horrific desertification begins in the limbs, fingers, soles... then spreads to the thighs, arms...

Amidst a series of cracking sounds, Xu Yu's face began to dry out.

His body organs lost a huge amount of water, and even his last breaths were painful!

Xu Yu opened his mouth wide in despair, but his skin, dehydrated and covered in lines like centipedes, cracked more and more the more he moved!

"Ugh!!"

"Ouch...it hurts so much!!"

In his final hoarse wail, Xu Yu's eyes bulged out, his nose was reduced to bone, and his lips were flat and limp like a deflated balloon.

Human skin was stuck to bones, and bones were attached to a body as thin as firewood.

In the blink of an eye, a living person turned into dried meat.

Xu Yu remained with a face of despair and pain until the very end, having lost his life at some unknown time.

The area around the eyes is sunken and empty, and the face and body resemble a skeleton.

Zhou Changxiong raised his hand and tossed the thing away like a skeleton.

Then he took a drag of his cigarette and strode away, leaving behind a trail of billowing cigarettes and his last words.

"All that talk is just what I need to quench my thirst."

......

Amidst two pairs of frightened gazes, Zhou Changxiong walked out of the door of his new home.

The driver opened the car door for him in time, and Zhou Changxiong took a long stride and stepped into the car.

"Tsar, are we going to Jiangcheng later?"

"Do not."

"Going towards the tide."

"Yes!"

The driver obeyed, quietly started the car engine, and drove out of the narrow road amidst a woman's heart-wrenching cry.

......

Even with the highway, it's still a long way from Jiangcheng to Hangzhou.

This world is much larger than the Earth was before.

If Jiangcheng had a high-speed rail line connecting to Hangzhou, things would be much faster. Unfortunately, this place is truly remote, and even a high-speed rail line can't reach it.

After finishing their lunch at a highway service area, the students on the bus hurriedly went back inside to meditate, trying to make the most of their last bit of time.

Along the way, Ye Chi seemed the most relaxed.

Liu Shiyi also slept several times, and her curiosity about Ye Chi's strength grew stronger.

Students cramming at the last minute is a very common occurrence.

How come this guy was so calm the whole way?

The car has been driving since this morning, it must have been six hours, and he hasn't even started meditating!

It's important to know that below the first level, meditation is the primary means of enhancing mental strength!

Even if today is a special day, there's no need for such strenuous meditation.

But if you get a Devil Fruit power and the boost to your mental strength is less than 100, wouldn't you still have to go home and meditate obediently?
