Beautiful CEO's Top Expert-Chapter 918 - 0: Both Sides Suffer

The man wore a sky-blue short shirt, his hair neatly cropped short. His appearance wasn’t particularly striking, but he exuded a refined, scholarly aura, resembling a learned gentleman!

The woman, on the other hand, had her long hair styled into a bun at the back of her head. Her fair features were lightly adorned with makeup, and the black, form-fitting outfit she wore gave her an air of decisiveness and efficiency, much like a strong businesswoman in the marketplace.

She was no longer young; though she had taken good care of herself, the crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes could not be concealed, and the faint presence of a mature yet fading beauty lingered on her.

This man and woman were none other than the people of Shu Mountain who had accompanied Yuan Shu to the Lin family.

The man was named Yuan Feng, and the woman Feng Ya—they were husband and wife, and the only married couple among the elders of Shu Mountain.

Although their abilities were not on par with Yuan Shu’s, the pair had long practiced the art of combined attacks and, having decades of marriage behind them, had reached a level of perfect mental synchronization.

Thus, if the two joined forces, even Yuan Shu would have to tread carefully.

This time, in order to deal with Ye Xunhuan and seize the Taiji Seal, Shu Mountain went all out—not only sending Yuan Shu but dispatching Yuan Feng and Feng Ya as well.

Staring at Yuan Shu, who stood before them radiating boiling killing intent, Yuan Feng and Feng Ya couldn’t help but exchange glances, seeing the shock mirrored in each other’s eyes.

While Yuan Shu had a rather explosive temper, he was not someone who could be easily provoked or angered.

But now, Yuan Shu was clearly enraged by Ye Xunhuan.

What exactly had transpired?

If Yuan Feng and Feng Ya learned that Ye Xunhuan had insinuated Yuan Shu was cuckolded, they wouldn’t know whether to cry or to console Yuan Shu!

Because, damn it, it was true! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Yuan Shu had spent years immersing himself in ancient martial arts, striving to become a protector of the realm, thereby neglecting his wife.

Be it men or women, everyone has their own physiological needs. Over time, Yuan Shu’s wife couldn’t endure the loneliness, ultimately seeking solace with someone else. ****** Little did Ye Xunhuan know that his prank—a jest based off Yuan Shu’s whip—would unwittingly hit so close to the mark!

"This kid isn’t weak at all. It’s hard to believe someone in his twenties could possess such prowess!" Yuan Feng remarked unreservedly in admiration.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan and Yuan Shu were locked in combat evenly—neither able to overcome the other, stuck like two opposing forces in a stalemate.

Feng Ya nodded in strong agreement as she said, "If this kid finds a woman who shares his harmony of mind and heart, and learns our combined-attacks technique, Yuan Shu will undoubtedly die. Would you believe me?"

"Watching him makes me want to take him as a disciple..."

"You think you’re capable of teaching him?" Feng Yuan shot Yuan Feng a disdainful glance. "He holds the Taiji Seal—do you know whether he’s fully understood it or not? If he has, then within ten years, he should reach that realm and become a protector of the nation!"

Despite his wife’s sharp rebuke, Yuan Feng didn’t take offense. Instead, he chuckled foolishly.

"Should we intervene?"

"You know Yuan Shu’s temper—his explosive disposition. If we help him, he might not even appreciate it!" Yuan Feng commented with a calm expression. "Moreover, this kid... The more I look at him, the more I like him..."

"The Sect Leader letting you descend the mountain was a big mistake!"

Yuan Feng chuckled lightly. "He’s a talent blessed by the heavens. Killing him would be a waste. And even if the Taiji Seal ends up with Shu Mountain, what then?"

"Killing a talent blessed by the heavens for something lifeless—don’t you think it’s a pity?"

Feng Ya sighed softly. "It truly is a pity, but the Sect Leader’s order..."

"Let’s watch for now!"

At that very moment, Ye Xunhuan and Yuan Shu were unleashing their full array of skills, bringing out all their signature abilities. The Lin family’s backyard had already been reduced to utter ruin, resembling a desolate wasteland. The wooden buildings had been devastated by the horrifying shockwaves emitted by the two, leaving them stand precariously, no longer fit for habitation.

"The destruction of all things, the unity of yin and yang!"

Ye Xunhuan roared as his sword sliced through the air like a streak of laser light, rapidly shooting forward at an imperceptible speed toward Yuan Shu.

As Yuan Shu saw the strike coming, his heart suddenly sank; an ominous foreboding surged within him!

"Twin Dragons Play with Pearl!"

Yuan Shu bellowed, quickly lashing out with his whip in retaliation.

Upon witnessing the scene, Yuan Feng and Feng Ya immediately channeled their inner strength, forming a protective barrier of energy around themselves.

As highly skilled practitioners would, they could discern that Ye Xunhuan and Yuan Shu had both entered a ferocious life-or-death struggle.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion reverberated, akin to the rumble of thunder resounding through the surrounding area. A terrifying shockwave raged outward, overturning everything in its path—even uprooting a large Chinese scholar tree in the Lin family’s backyard.

The entire setting resembled the apocalypse.

"Tai Xuan Slash!"

In the next instant, before the dust and debris had settled, Ye Xunhuan’s voice rang out once more. A flash of white light appeared, as though originating from the farthest corners of the sky, piercing through the swirling winds and surging toward Yuan Shu.

"Dragon Roars to the Sky!"

Suddenly, Yuan Shu’s whip radiated light, transforming into the silhouette of a dragon that emitted a deep, resonant roar!

Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s expressions turned grim.

"He... he’s using the White-Haired Tai Xuan Manual..." Yuan Feng said, his voice trembling and stunned beyond belief.

"And it’s the Tai Xuan Slash that had supposedly disappeared!" Feng Ya added, her tone equally shaken. "Who is he? Who taught him?"

At this moment, an immense storm of emotions was raging within the hearts of Feng Ya and Yuan Feng.

The White-Haired Tai Xuan Manual was Kunlun’s ultimate treasure, a closely guarded secret, and more importantly, incomplete. Yet now, Ye Xunhuan was somehow able to forcibly perform the Tai Xuan Slash!

Who exactly was he?

Could he really be just the grandson of the Qin family?

Who was his master?

Where did he obtain the White-Haired Tai Xuan Manual?

If Ye Xunhuan’s master was from Kunlun, then killing him today would irrevocably spell enmity between Shu Mountain and Kunlun!

A prodigy of such caliber would be considered a priceless treasure, cherished by any sect.

But if Ye Xunhuan’s master were truly from Kunlun, why would the White-Haired Tai Xuan Manual remain incomplete?

While Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s thoughts raced frantically, the two opposing forces collided with a resounding crash—like two cyclones merging, canceling, and devouring one another!

"Boom!"

Another explosive sound rang out, and Yuan Shu’s body was flung backward like a severed kite string.

Similarly, Ye Xunhuan’s body was thrown uncontrollably in the opposite direction!

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The bodies of Ye Xunhuan and Yuan Shu landed harshly on the ground nearly simultaneously.

Blood spilled from their mouths as both coughed up streams of crimson, unable to stop it.

This was a true mutual defeat.

This time, Ye Xunhuan and Yuan Shu had genuinely struck each other down, unlike the minor skirmishes of the past that left them largely unscathed!
