"Brother Ye! We're almost at the outskirts of the Tian Shou Land!" Xu Du said in a low voice, seeing many ancient martial artists gathered ahead.
Arriving here, it seemed they had made their choice.
However, this also meant the beginning of conflict.
"Yo! A great beauty has arrived!"
"Heavens! This looks, this figure, this demeanor, it's divine!"
"Alas! What a pity! Her aura is a bit weak! If it could match her strength, it would be perfect!"
"Tsk! The strongest among that group is only at the late stage of Martial King. This woman is in trouble now!"
"Yeah! To come to this chaotic land… alas!"
"…"
Du Yuemian naturally became the center of attention as soon as she appeared.
Aside from her peerless beauty and proud figure. The invisible heroic spirit emanating from her, and that hint of an unapproachable expression, seemed to further ignite the desire for conquest in the opposite sex.
Therefore, her arrival naturally attracted some people's "unique gaze."
Of course, more ancient martial artists were merely observing with a mindset of watching a show, and did not actively provoke her.
"I knew we should have made you wear a veil!"
Ye Ming chuckled, looking at the scorching gazes cast upon Du Yuemian.
"Is Young Master finding me troublesome?" Du Yuemian asked with a sly smile.
"Uh! This… of course not!"
Seeing this, Ye Ming shook his head decisively. "Having such a beauty by my side is something many people dream of. How could I find you troublesome?"
"Humph! That's more like it!"
Hearing this answer, Du Yuemian let out a soft huff and didn't dwell on it.
It was worth noting that in the past, such girlish behavior was almost impossible to see from Du Yuemian.
Therefore, when those paying attention to Du Yuemian saw this expression, they all fell into a daze, unable to extricate themselves.
Finally, someone couldn't help but step forward.
"There's going to be a good show. I didn't expect the dullard Tie Hu to be the first to step up!"
"Alas! That man is a brute. He has strength but no brains!"
"Hush! Speak softly! If he hears you talking about him behind his back, you'll have some trouble!"
"Uh… almost forgot! Thank you, brother, for the reminder!"
"…"
At this moment, a bald man strode towards Ye Ming and the others.
The man was burly, standing at least six feet tall. Every muscle on his body looked firm and powerful.
Clearly, fighting such a person would be extremely difficult.
As for his strength, it wasn't very high, just like Xu Du, at the late stage of the Second King realm.
"Little sister! My name is Tie Hu! The moment I saw you, I knew you were my destined wife!" Tie Hu patted his bald head, his rough voice instantly echoing around.
Little sister!
And destined wife!
Hearing someone address the peerless beauty in their eyes like that, everyone around had black lines appearing on their foreheads.
Among them were Ye Ming and the Xu Du brothers.
As for Du Yuemian herself, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, but ultimately said nothing.
Or rather, she didn't know what to say.
Facing such a rough man, she felt she couldn't communicate.
Seeing that Du Yuemian ignored him, Tie Hu didn't feel awkward. As for the strange looks from those around him, he was already accustomed to them.
"Little sister! Follow me, Tie Hu!"
He pointed at Ye Ming and the Xu Du brothers, disdainfully saying, "Look at these guys, skinny as firewood, they can't protect you at all! Follow me, and I guarantee no one will dare bully you!"
While speaking, he didn't forget to flex his muscles, a confident smile on his face.
He stood tall and proud, brimming with confidence.
Du Yuemian, who was called "little sister" repeatedly, truly couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly, "If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being impolite."
Ye Ming, seeing this, knew Du Yuemian was getting a little angry.
However, he did not intervene.
After all, Du Yuemian had previously said that he should not interfere unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Impolite?"
Hearing this, Tie Hu leered at Du Yuemian's delicate figure and roared with laughter, "Hahaha! I say, little sister! Even if I stand here and let you hit me, you won't be able to do any damage to me."
Tie Hu, who focused on body refinement, wasn't making a thoughtless boast.
It was no exaggeration to say that even ancient martial artists of the same realm, with all their might, might not be able to break through his defense.
"Don't force me!"
Du Yuemian's voice grew colder, and she began to mobilize the Qi of Ten Thousand Things within her.
"Hahaha! Good! You've got spirit! I like it!"
Tie Hu patted his chest and laughed wildly, "Come on! Hit here! If I take a single step back, I'll disappear right in front of you!"
Hearing this, Ye Ming and the Xu Du brothers beside Du Yuemian twitched their mouths and stepped back.
Creating some distance from Du Yuemian.
"This guy…"
Xu Du looked at Tie Hu with an expression of sympathy.
The Lu Qifeng and Lu Qiming brothers felt the same.
At this moment, a fierce glint flashed in Du Yuemian's beautiful eyes, and she slightly raised her delicate palm. A wisp of purple Qi of Ten Thousand Things coiled around her palm.
"Come on! Hit harder! Little sister, don't hold back!"
Tie Hu stood his ground, his true qi coursing through his entire body, forming a faint, earth-yellow barrier on the surface of his skin, enveloping his entire body.
When Du Yuemian heard the term "little sister" again, her expression froze. A few more wisps of Qi of Ten Thousand Things appeared in her palm, and she then struck towards Tie Hu.
The onlookers shook their heads at this sight.
"Tie Hu may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but his physique is no joke. In the same realm, few people can break through his defense!"
"Indeed! It's likely that woman will suffer the recoil force from that palm strike!"
"Alas! To run into that simpleton Tie Hu is truly a headache!"
"Look at the men next to her, they actually dodged to the side. What cowards!"
"You're right! I despise people like that the most!"
"…"
From the murmurs of the crowd, it was clear that no one believed Du Yuemian's palm strike could repel Tie Hu.
Instead, they were worried she would be injured by the recoil force.
And Ye Ming and the others' "escape" was naturally met with jeers, mockery, and even contempt.
"Hahaha! Little sister, don't worry, I'll control the recoil force and definitely won't let it hurt you…"
*Bang!*
But before Tie Hu could finish speaking, Du Yuemian's palm accelerated again. When it was still a millimeter away from his true qi shield,
"Ah!"
With a scream that pierced the clouds, Tie Hu shot out like a human cannonball in front of everyone, flying out of their sight.
In the air, one could even see spurting blood.
Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes widened, and their minds went blank.
The world became quiet.
