Danwu God Emperor

On his way home, Ye Lou was overjoyed and couldn't stop thinking about cultivation. If he hadn't been worried about his father's injuries, he probably would have stayed in the back mountain for another ten days or half a month to cultivate.

"Let's go to the market and buy some more herbs so that Father can recover faster."

Having made up his mind, Ye Lou turned and left the Ye family gate. As he walked along, the market was bustling and lively.

To Ye Lou's surprise, everyone in the market was looking at him with strange eyes. Although his reputation wasn't very good, it shouldn't be like today, with everyone staring at him.

Ye Lou was very puzzled. The further he went, the more eyes were cast at him, making him even more uncomfortable.

Looking into the distance, one could see a relatively wide intersection ahead, where a large number of people were standing in a circle, their faces beaming with excitement as they crowded in, as if they were watching something.

Those people staring at him seemed to have all come from there. Ye Lou couldn't help but step forward and finally managed to squeeze through the crowd.

In the middle of the crowd stood a middle-aged man, wearing a headband, holding a fan, and dressed in a gray robe. He kept touching his mustache, gesturing wildly and talking boastfully.

This man, named Gao Yi, was quite famous in Wushan Town. He was a layabout who made a living by telling stories in a teahouse. Occasionally, he would cheat and swindle people. Ye Lou had some memories of going to the teahouse with his father when he was a child.

"Speaking of Ye Haotian, he colluded with thieves to betray the Ye family. He is truly heartless and treacherous. The Ye family head treated him like a brother, but he betrayed his own family. It's true that good people don't get good rewards!"

"Good, well said, you bullshit God of War!"

"I once revered him as my hero!"

A round of applause erupted from the crowd.

Ye Lou lowered his eyes, like a sleeping lion. Although he didn't know why Gao Yi was slandering his father, he knew that his father was upright and honest and would never be as despicable as he was described!

As applause rose and fell, Gao Yi smiled smugly at everyone, but when he saw Ye Lou in the crowd, he let out a disdainful sneer.

"Come, let me introduce you all. This is Ye Haotian's son, Ye Lou. He was born with blocked meridians and is a complete waste. That's why I say, people should do good deeds, otherwise they will suffer retribution. Who would want to have such a useless son!"

Gao Yi's words were aggressive, showing no regard for Ye Lou. He was very quick-witted, and the onlookers began to waver in their belief in the former God of War, especially after seeing Ye Lou's condition.

"Say it again!" Ye Lou said in a low voice.

"Didn't you hear me?" Gao Yi pointed at Ye Lou and laughed loudly, "I didn't expect this piece of trash to have such poor hearing. Then I'll loudly tell him that you are trash!"

Snapped!

Before anyone could react, Ye Lou suddenly raised his hand, sending a gust of wind through the air, and knocked him to the ground, startling everyone.

"You piece of trash, how dare you hit me!" Gao Yi stood up, covering his face in disbelief. He spat out a mouthful of saliva, streaked with blood, along with two teeth.

"This is on behalf of my father. My father is a man of integrity and would never allow a petty person like you to slander him, spread rumors, or cause trouble!"

I'll make your mother!

Enraged, Gao Yi was not going to be careless this time. He jumped up and swung a punch at Ye Lou's crown, which thoroughly angered him.

Moreover, with his fourth-level internal strength, facing a piece of trash like Ye Lou with only a second-level internal strength was like crushing an ant.

He never expected Ye Lou to take the initiative to attack, and ironically, he even lost two teeth in the process. That punch was meant to kill him.

Just when everyone thought Ye Lou was dead on the spot, he suddenly made a move, covering the fist with one palm and knocking Gao Yi to the ground with the other, causing several teeth to fall out.

"This is the one who hit you! You kept calling me trash, I hit you because you were blind!"

斯！

Everyone gasped, staring at Ye Lou standing there calmly. This was no ordinary trash; the opponent had unleashed a full-force attack from a fourth-level internal energy master.

Didn't Brother Ye say he only had two levels of internal energy? Why is he so strong?

Gao Yi stared blankly at Ye Lou, steeled his heart, gritted his teeth and revealed murderous intent in his eyes. Fortunately, his third brother had bestowed upon him that Yellow-rank martial art, the Earth-Shattering Fist, otherwise he really wouldn't have been confident.

"Looks like I'll have to show you my true skills, Ye Lou, die!"

Gao Yi stood up, raised both hands high, clenched his fists, and slammed them down vertically as he charged forward.

Ye Lou remained motionless, staring straight ahead. The power of this punch was considerable; it could easily crush stones and shatter the ground, let alone flesh and blood. Everyone held their breath, wondering if Ye Lou had other tricks up his sleeve.

Gao Yi shouted and punched Ye Lou in the chest.

"Break!" Ye Lou trembled, and the force of his fist instantly dissipated. Before the opponent could react, a palm strike knocked out all of his teeth.

Gao Yi looked up in horror. "How do you have five levels of internal energy?!"

"Hmph, I told you long ago you were blind." Ye Lou slowly approached. "Speak! Why did you slander my father in public! Speak or I'll kill you!"
