Chapter 145: Reckless Ambition – How High Is the Sky, How Thick Is the Earth?

The bond between people is trulywonderful. There’s a saying that five hundred encounters in past lives lead to a fleeting encounter in this life. Whether this is true or not is unknown, but if it is, then how many times did Su Shao and Lan Ren have to meet in past lives?
“Damn it! What the hell is this? It won’t land no matter what! It’s made me bury my head in the dirt!” Su Shao spat out the dirt from his mouth as he pulled his head out of the ground, cursing loudly.
Just as he was cursing, he suddenly felt a heavy blow on his buttocks. Before he could even scream, he was flung into the air again… Su Shao didn’t have much cultivation skill; he could only perform astonishing feats thanks to the control of the Nine Nether Demon God. But at that moment, the Nine Nether Demon God paid no attention to that force, and the unprepared Su Shao was flung into the air once more…
As Su Shao shook his head to spit out the petals from his mouth, a voice came from behind, sounding extremely angry: “You brat! Why did you have to bump into me instead of someone else?”
For a moment, Lan Ying, Tian Jiao, and Li Ling were all scared by Lan Ren’s fierce temper. She was truly ruthless. It seemed they could only pray silently for this unfortunate boy…
Hearing this, Su Shao couldn’t stand it anymore. He stood up abruptly, turned around, pointed at her, and cursed, “You brat… Huh? It’s you, you fox spirit!” Halfway through his curse, he stopped. He hadn’t expected that bump to be so accurate—right on target, hitting exactly this troublemaker.
Su Shao’s face was covered in mud, and now his head was buried in flowers, looking utterly disheveled. Lan Ren didn’t recognize him, but when she heard him call her a fox spirit, she immediately knew who he was. The only person who had ever called her that was that rascal she met in Fengdu Ghost City.
Lan Ren also started cursing, “You brat! There’s such a big world out there. Why do you have to follow us? Didn’t I tell you not to show up in front of me?” By now, Lan Ren was extremely angry. Her previously calm mood had been completely ruined by this rascal.
Su Shao wiped the dirt from his face with his sleeve and said, “Girl, is your face bigger than your butt? There’s such a big world—wherever I want to go, I go. Why do you say I’m following you? I think you’re the one blocking my way.”
Lan Ren had always been pampered by her brother and cared for by the elders in the underworld. She had never suffered such humiliation before. This ignorant fool might not be great at anything else, but he was truly skilled at angering and cursing people. A few words were enough to provoke Lan Ren’s stubbornness.
Lan Ying shook his head and said, “This kid is quite interesting. He dares to offend my sister. It seems he’s going to get punished today…”
Li Ling also watched the two of them but shook his head with a smile, saying, “I doubt it. You know, there are many experts in the three realms. Despite this kid’s thug-like appearance, when it comes to dealing with Miss Lan, I think…” He didn’t finish his sentence, but Lan Ying understood that Li Ling was praising the boy’s high cultivation level.

Blue Shadow couldn’t help but take another look at Young Master Su. No matter how he looked at him, he seemed like an ordinary person with nothing special about him. No matter what Blue Shadow said, he couldn’t believe such an ordinary person could be a match for his sister.

As for the two in the sea of flowers—Blue Blade and Young Master Su…

Blue Blade could take it no longer. She stretched out her hands and drew two short knives, shouting angrily, “You brat! If I don’t chop you to pieces today, I’ll… I’ll…” She struggled for words but couldn’t come up with anything.

Young Master Su gloated and said, “I’ll… I’ll… Are you stuttering? What’s ‘I’ll’?”

Blue Blade said nothing more. Her actions already showed how angry she was. She combined her two knives and threw them in an S-shaped arc. Blue light flashed as the spiral-shaped knives, along with the blade energy cutting through the petals around them, flew toward Young Master Su…

Young Master Su knew Blue Blade’s bad temper—when she was so angry that she couldn’t speak, she would definitely take action. Seeing Blue Blade attack, he quickly turned to the Nine Nether Demon God within his body and asked, “How do we deal with this girl?” Though he only thought these words, in that instant, the flying knives were already right in front of him.

Just as Young Master Su was about to be split in two horizontally, his strange left arm began to change again. In the blink of an eye, from the palm to the shoulder, it turned black, like a shadow—transparent yet solid. As the knives approached, his left hand quickly raised…

Without any sound, everyone’s attention was drawn once again to this foolish boy. With a swift motion, his hand caught Blue Blade’s two knives…

No one expected such an outcome. After all, Blue Blade’s knives were thrown at incredible speeds. Even someone like Li Ling, with his high cultivation level, wouldn’t dare try to catch them with his hands. A slightest mistake would mean the knives would split a person from the arm onward…

Yet this foolish boy actually caught Blue Blade’s knives with one hand. Even funnier, while holding the sharp knives to trim his nails, Young Master Su said with a smile, “Not bad, not bad. Quite fast. Perfect for trimming nails.”

Meanwhile, the Nine Nether Demon God within his body suddenly realized a flaw in his plan. He had ignored human emotions—these people attacked with the intent to kill, without any sense of humiliation. If things continued like this, Young Master Su would be chopped to pieces before he could even be humiliated, and he too would die. Gradually, the Nine Nether Demon God began to plan another strategy…

At this moment, Blue Shadow seemed very interested in this boy. After coming to the Three Realms for so long, the only expert he had seen was Li Ling. But now it seemed this boy’s cultivation level was even higher than Li Ling’s. His competitive spirit flared up once again.

Dragging his long sword, Blue Shadow walked up to Blue Blade and said with a sinister smile, “What’s your name, young sir? My sister offended you just now. Let me apologize on her behalf.”

Young Master Su looked up at Blue Shadow’s smiling face and said, “Although your smile is ugly, it’s still much better than that of your so-called sister. Since you’re so eager to apologize, I’ll… reluctantly accept it. As for my name! You can call me Young Master Su—just without the ‘Master’ part.”

At this moment, Blue Shadow’s smiling face was gone, replaced by a murderous gaze. The blade slowly turned, and the demonic energy in the sky gathered together. The wind around seemed to grow more turbulent, while countless petals scattered into the air like snowflakes…
Li Ling thought to himself, “This murderous intent is so strong—more intense than when he targeted me earlier. It seems Blue Shadow truly intends to kill this time.”
Blue Shadow turned and smiled, saying, “Sister, go over to Li Ling and let your brother see what this man has to offer to bully you…”
Blue Blade had also never seen his brother so angry before. Since childhood, his brother never showed his emotions outwardly; one could only tell from his deep gaze and eerie smile. Another sign of Blue Shadow’s murderous intent was the gathering of demonic energy in the air beneath the magic blade… and it was extremely intense.
