Limitless - Chapter 12: Calm Down

Chapter 12: Calm Down

When Chu Yu returned home, he turned and faced the Xiao Yue who tagged along with him, and said drily, "From today onward, you can be my maid."

Xiao Yue’s pair of sharp eyes stared intently into Chu Yu’s eyes, "If you dare to cheat me, I will kill you. Even if you’re from the Northern Chu Clan, it’s useless."

"Sure thing. I’m tired, so if there’s anything, we can talk about it tomorrow. Oh right, you’re not allowed up the second floor, so go find yourself a room on the first floor then."

Chu Yu curled his lips, turned and went up, completely ignoring Xiao Yue’s threat.

In his mind, he was still swallowing his saliva: So big! Sorry, I really didn’t mean to look…

Lord Thief perched itself on a teacup, then it twisted its head towards Chu Yu and asked weakly, "Then what about me?"

"Shall I buy you a bird cage?" Chu Yu answered the question with another question.

"..." Lord Thief was angered half to death as it rolled its eyes.

After Chu Yu went upstairs, it finally couldn’t hold it in and cursed, "B*stard!"

Xiao Yue, who was blanking by the side, nodded in consensus, "He’s indeed quite a b*stard!"

Lord Thief lamented in his heart: Little brat, how is it simply ‘quite’? If you know that fella’s true power, you will definitely think that he is a human-shaped, plus-sized b*stard!

When Chu Yu just returned to his room, his phone started ringing. Chu Yu glanced at the caller ID, frowned, and didn’t answer.

Soon, the phone stopped ringing, and a message was sent over: Stinky brat, if you have such strong helpers, why didn’t you find some secluded and remote corner to do your evil deeds? Do you’re in so much trouble! Do you know exactly how many people you’ve offended?

Chu Yu looked at it, smiled, and ignored it.

A second message followed.

"Hurry and answer my call!"

The phone rang once again.

Chu Yu helplessly answered the phone. Unexpectedly, he did not experience a temper from the other side.

Lin Shimeng’s voice was very gentle, "I know that you feel very aggrieved, but your actions today are a little reckless. The boss of that Flying Dragon Club, Long Fei, has powerful backers, and all those that ate with Xie Tianyu aren’t simple people either. Castellan Dong is a descendant of the Southern Dong Clan, Lu Feng is a disciple of Wudang. Even though you didn’t do anything to them, you beat Xie Tianyu up right in front of their eyes, and almost to death at that. That’s simply slapping them fiercely in the face."

"So what? Are their faces worth money?" Chu Yu asked gently. "Xie Tianyu has already tried to kill me twice. I’ve already been very merciful by not killing him. Do you want me to kneel down to him and ask for his forgiveness?"

"You know I don’t mean that." Lin Shimeng sighed, "What you did isn’t wrong, but you chose the wrong place and the wrong time.

"He targeted me, and I’ve already been plenty merciful. If he targeted you, even if it was in front of the Jade Emperor, you would have butchered him."

Chu Yu said calmly.

"..." On the receiver of the phone, Lin Shimeng was silent.

Time passed.

Lin Shimeng finally said, "I will handle that Flying Dragon Club’s Long Fei, Castellan Dong, Lu Feng and the rest. As for that Xie Tianyu, the matter of him trying to kill you has already been disseminated out by me. So this unfairness, he has to eat it even if he doesn’t want to."

"Shi Shi, I’ve troubled you." Chu Yu said.

"You need to be so polite to me?" On the receiver, Lin Shimeng’s voice seemed very distant. "Beating Xie Tianyu is just one thing. What about that Xiao Yue?"

"She’s an energetic young lady, she can be a good maid…"

"Talk properly!

"Orh… assistant." Chu Yu lazed around on his bed. When he heard Lin Shimeng’s unsatisfied voice, he could not help but laugh, "Why? Are you jealous? You want me to send her to be your assistant?"

"Jealous, your head! I don’t want her, keep you for yourself!" Lin Shimeng raged. "Don’t you know what is the identity of that brat? You dared to just take her away… I can’t handle this situation." noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

After a short pause, Lin Shimeng sighed again, "Luckily she followed you voluntarily. But still, you need to be careful. Don’t ever… touch her. Her origins… are not normal."

"I know," Chu Yu responded.

"If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up." With that, Lin Shimeng hung up the phone.

Leaning against the head of her bed, Lin Shimeng’s beautiful, peach face was at loss.

She was wearing silk pyjamas, her perfectly round buns were partly visible, revealing her snow-white skin glistening in the light. Her two long legs were unbridledly exposed to the outside.

She muttered to herself, "Why does it seem like he has become a different person? I don’t seem to understand him anymore. And that disgusting bird, where he get it from? I’ve never heard of the Chu Clan having a beast taming expert?"

…

In an incomparably fortified private hospital, many martial artists were stationed. Everyone of them was exuding an intense and fierce aura.

This was Xie Clan’s property in Yan Jing, and it was only open for use by their clan members.

In the biggest room on the top floor, Xie Tianyu was lying on a bed, sleeping.

His appearance was indescribably wretched. Even though his wounds were already cleaned, his entire face was still swelled up like a pig. He didn’t even look like a human.

An elder, that looked around 70 years old, was currently treating him.

The comatose Xie Tianyu’s body would even occasionally twitch.

Large amounts of heat came out of the hair on top of the elder’s head. It looked like a cloud of smoke had shrouded his head, curling upwards.

The elder had a solemn expression on his face. Not only was did he have unfathomable power, he also had a high degree of medical skill.

He was constantly piercing needles into Xie Tianyu’s body. With every needle pierced, a humming sound could be heard.

This was the sound was the needle vibrated at high speeds!

At the same time, heat waves diffused from the needles.

The entire room was filled with these bursts of heat waves; the temperature was already over 50 degrees!

If it was an ordinary person, he wouldn’t be able to endure long in this room.

However, this elder was already here for more than two hours!

He did not seem to feel anything from the searing temperatures; only fatigue was seen on his face.

Finally, the last needed was pierced into Xie Tianyu’s body. The elder finally heaved a sigh of relief. Stretching his body, he opened the door and walked out.

A crowd of people instantly surrounded him.

"Third Elder, how is Tian Yu?"

"Third Elder, will he be all right?"

"Will there be any chronic problems, Third Elder?"

This group of people were spouting off by themselves, completely oblivious of the elder’s pale white face.

To save Xie Tianyu, the elder just spent large amounts of his internal energy so that he could expel the weird energy in Xie Tianyu’s body.

If people thought that Xie Tianyu mere had some flesh wounds, then they would be hell wrong. Lord Thief’s methods were not only cruel, they were also incredibly sinister.

When attacking Xie Tianyu, it injected some of its energy into Xie Tianyu’s body. If Xie Tianyu wasn’t treated in time, then even if Xie Tianyu didn’t die, his entire body might be paralysed.

The elder called Third Elder glanced at the crowd and sighed, "I saved him in time."

The crowd’s suspended hearts were lowered by a bit, but their heads were filled with doubts… If you saved him in time, then what are you sighing for ah?

The Third Elder continued solemnly, "But… I’m afraid that in the future, it will be hard for Tianyu to continue on his cultivation."

"Ah?"

"What?"

"My son… My poor son, why must your life be so difficult? Chu Yu, Chu Clan… I’m not done with you!" A middle-aged woman heard these words and started bawling.

Everyone else hung an expression of shock on their faces.

"Third Elder, Tianyu is really injured that heavily?" A middle-aged man with a very intense aura stood there. He did not rage, but his face was extremely serious.

This man was the Grand Elder of the Xie Clan, and at the same time, Xie Tianyu’s father - Xie Xiaotian!

"It’s already a fortune that Tianyu could retain his life. If I was even a bit later, I’m afraid…" The Third Elder sighed, "The other person’s methods were too cruel."

The middle-aged woman started bawling and cussing, swearing that she would destroy the Northern Chu Clan and that she would rip Chu Yu into a million pieces.

On the other hand, Xie Xiaotian maintained his calm. He turned towards an ordinary looking young girl in the crowd, and asked solemnly, "Xie Lu, recount what that happened. Tell me everything." noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"What’s there left to say? That Chu Clan kid was absolutely lawless. Do they think that the Xie Clan is afraid of them? Let’s kill our way over, grab that little animal and rip him into a million pieces…" The middle-aged woman yelled as she cried by the side.

"Calm down." Xie Xiaotian raised his head and looked at her.

"I can’t calm down!" The middle-aged woman seemed to have gone hysteric.

Pa!

Xia Xiaotian pulled his hand back from that middle-aged woman’s face and asked in an icy cold tone, "Can you calm down now?"

Limitless - Chapter 11: You're Sick, I Can Cure It!

Chapter 11: You're Sick, I Can Cure It!

Hum!

It was as if a raging tornado swept through the cabin!

The sturdy pear shaped wooden dining table shattered instantly!

The cutlery and utensils on the table also turned to pulp in the blink of an eye!

Soup and drinks spilled all over the floor!

The few people on the scene staggered to their feet as they manoeuvred to save themselves.

Xie Tianyu’s was immediately sent flying and smashed into the wall with a thunderous crash, almost as if he was hit by a speeding train.

The impact was so great he was sent flying through the wall and into the next cabin, leaving a man sized hole in the wall. Fortunately, there was no one in the next cabin, else, they would have been scared half to death.

The cabin instantly became deadly silent

Everyone stared at Chu Yu in aghast. To be accurate, they were staring at the sparrow squatting on his shoulder.

Their expressions were extremely entertaining, paled as though they had seen a ghost.

Was this a spiritual sparrow?

Even though the bird did not target them, the seismic power and wind that accompanied the attack had almost been too much for them to handle.

As for Xie Tianyu who took the brunt of the impact... one could only imagine how he felt.

It didn't actually kill him, did it?

Even Chu Yu twitched as he cussed the methods of Lord Thief internally.

Then he heard Lord Thief’s next words, "That child uses more underhand methods than me!"

The action shocked the entire club, and they all gathered around the wall hastily.

Xie Tianyu lay beaten in the next cabin, unmoving.

All the youths at the scene were shocked stiff.

One of the youths with deep eye bags took a cold, deep breath and looked at Chu Yu with traces of fear in his eyes. He said solemnly, "that's too much!"

The calm youth in his late twenties also stared coldly at Chu Yu, his eyes full of hatred.

At this point, many had entered the cabin upon hearing the commotion. They were well and truly stunned by what they saw.

The boss of this private club was a middle aged man in his forties. He was relatively thin, grew a moustache and looked relatively civilised.

He looked solemnly at Chu Yu and said, "My friend, isn't this a little too much?"

Chu Yu looked at him and asked, "And you are?"

"I am the boss here." The middle aged man replied flatly.

Anyone who knew him well knew that this man had a lot of backing and influence in Yan Jing. He was also quite well trained.

More importantly, he had a bad temper!

Yet, this man was very smart and had a keen eye. He was very clear on what attitude to use to deal with different people. lnoveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Anyone who dared to confront Xie Tianyu head on, and was able to injure him without regard for the consequences, was no ordinary man!

"I'm sorry, everything that was destroyed..." Chu Yu grinned.

The rage the owner felt subsided a little. At least this man had some decency.

"Shall be compensated by Xie Tianyu." Chu Yu finished.

The cabin fell silent. Eyes widened and jaws dropped as they stared at Chu Yu.

Even the middle aged man was stunned. If it wasn't for his shrewdness, he would not have been able to resist asking, "How shameless are you?

You assault a man half to death, and you still want him to pay damages?"

"If I may, may I know where you're from? I think I've seen you somewhere before." The middle aged man took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in his heart, and asked solemnly.

"Save yourself the trouble." Chu Yu looked expressionlessly at the middle aged man, before saying icily, "Xie Tianyu, get out here quickly and tell the boss that you'll pay the damages. Don't just play dead, or I'll tell my Lord Thief to sh*t in your mouth."

Everyone was shocked beyond belief.

However, Lord Thief was unhappy with that suggestion, "What did you say? His face looks like the aftermath of a car accident. How dirty! And you want me to sh*t there? How pathetic?"

"..." upon hearing such an exchange, many almost fainted.

This sparrow was really courting death! He had insulted so many people.

Upon hearing the exchange, even the usually composed Xiao Yue did not know to laugh or cry. She could only chide the bird’s lack of morals internally.

"Chu Yu... I'm not done with you!" At this point, Xue Tianyu wriggled his way back through a hole in the wall. He looked pathetic, but he radiated a murderous aura.

The crowd were shocked by what they say. Half of Xie Tianyu’s face was swollen like a dumpling, his eyes were squeezed shut, and blood ran from the corners of his eyes.

The other half of his face was also swollen. His only open eye radiated a cold, terrifying glow.

"Beat him!" Chu Yu commanded.

"Hold up..." but the middle aged man was too slow.

The cabin was once again abused by a strong gust of wind, causing everyone to retreat in fear.

Amongst the crowd, only a select few could steady themselves, but they too found it difficult.

Snap!

Xie Tianyu was once again knocked into the air, through the same cavity and into the adjacent cabin.

"Young man, do you really think that you can do as you please in my Flying Dragon Club?" The middle man raged as he stared coldly at Chu Yu, his eyes about to burst into flames.

Xiao Yue suddenly interrupted, "Boss Long, he is from the Northern Chu Clan and this is a personal vendetta."

"The Northern Chu Clan?"

The stares of the crowd froze. When they recovered from the shock, they regarded Chu Yu with

more respect.

Chu Yu was taken aback when he saw that this pretty girl was speaking up for him. Yet, he had no idea why she was doing it.

The middle aged man sighed, "Even if it's the Northern Chu Clan, they can't be unreasonable. I don't care about your personal vendettas, but if you thrash them out here, you're not according me the proper respect!"

"Like I said before, Xie Tianyu will compensate you for all the damages here." As Chu Yu spoke, he sprinted to the adjacent cabin, "Isn't that right?"

"F*ck you..." came the faint reply from the other side.

"It seems like you haven't learnt your lesson." Chu Yu rummaged around. Even though the furniture in this cabin have been shattered by the strong gusts of wind, the adjacent cabin was in pristine condition.

Chu Yu went through the hole in the wall and into the next cabin, switching on the lights as he did so. He looked around before picking up a vase almost two feet tall from the display stands.

He glanced at Xie Tianyu before turning to Lord Thief to berate it. "Why did you hit him twice on the same side? Don't you know that I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? When things are unequal I feel very uneasy."

As he spoke, he walked in front of Xie Tianyu and raised the heavy vase.

"What... what are you doing?" Xie Tianyu lay on the floor as he looked at Chu Yu in horror.

"I'm helping you equalize things." Chu Yu replied.

The middle aged man who followed behind was also shocked. "Don't... don't do it!" He hollered.

Xie Tianyu was on the brink of tears, and cursed the inaction of the people around him internally. Why was he still talking to Chu Yu instead of restraining him?

Why weren't the rest, Castellan Dong, Lu Feng... why weren't they restraining Chu Yu?

And then there was Xiao Yue. Haven't I treated you well? Why weren't you doing anything? Xie Tianyu sulked and complained internally, his hatred for Chu Yu reaching a new high.

Previously, he had only wanted to kill Chu Yu because he was an obstacle.

Now, he had a deep seeded hatred against Chu Yu.

It was obvious that news of this incident would spread across the entire city tomorrow. His reputation would be ruined!

Chu Yu... I will never let you off! Xie Tianyu gritted his teeth and swore to himself.

Chu Yu raised the two feet tall ceramic vase. That required quite a some effort, to the point that some were worried the vase would fall on his own head. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Just as the middle aged man was about to step up to restrain Chu Yu, everyone shook their head slightly and he stopped in his tracks.

The bird... was way scarier than the man!

In the next moment, Chu Yu brought the vase down to bear, smashing it onto Xie Tianyu’s head.

Everyone gasped!

What a vicious attack!

Just as Castellan Dong and Lu Feng were about to step forward to break up the engagement, Lord Thief on Chu Yu’s shoulder let out a terrifying aura.

The two of the paled instantly and retreated.

Bang!

Crash!

This firm and heavy ceramic vase smashed onto Xie Tianyu’s head viciously.

The vase shattered and Xie Tianyu began bleeding from the head.

Looking at his face, there was no resemblance to a human,even his parents could not recognise him.

No matter how high Xie Tianyu’s cultivation level, no matter how tough his flesh, he could not take the abuse from so many hits. He finally caved, eyes rolling to the back of his head, and fainted.

"I thought someone with such high cultivation was supposed to have tough flesh, why is it not resistant to smashing?" Chu Yu muttered to himself, his expression confused.

"How weak!" Lord Thief mocked.

Everyone who had followed into the adjacent cabin were on the verge of collapsing!

If it was you lying there, that hit would have been sufficient to kill you and smash your brains! They thought to themselves.

Xiao Yue looked and Chu Yu and said, "He made two attempts on your life. What you did to him today, was not unreasonable."

Everyone stiffened briefly, especially those who were just with Xie Tianyu. Castellan Dong, Lu Feng and the pretty girl all looked at Xiao Yue, speechless. Was this girl insane or stupid? How could she say such things in public? They thought to themselves.

Xiao Yue, oblivious to how others regarded her, continued, "However, even if you kill him, it is of no benefit to you."

Chu Yu looked at her, "What do you suggest?"

"Why not just forget about it." Xiao Yue said, her tone serious.

Forget about it?

Everyone stood around speechless, but they were all thinking the same thought. Even if Chu Yu was willing to forget about it, Xie Tianyu was unlikely to let bygones be bygones.

Chu Yu frowned and stared at Xiao Yue, "Are you pleading for mercy on his behalf?"

Xiao Yue replied flatly, "I am doing this for your own good."

Lord Thief chimed in, "Seeing how handsome you are, she must be in love with you!"

Having been schooled thoroughly by Chu Yu previously, Lord Thief resorted to pandering.

Xiao Yue’s beautiful eyes momentarily burst into flames.

However, she had seen the character of this bird, and knew that nothing good ever came out from its mouth.

She could only pretend she heard nothing.

"Are you ill?" Chu Yu frowned at Xiao Yue.

"Do you have the cure?" Xiao Yue replied expressionlessly.

A wave of speechlessness came over the crowd once again as they thought to themselves, this scion of the Chu Clan is indeed one of a kind.

Anyone who met him hated him!

Indeed, the bird takes after the owner.

And then there was this beautiful girl who looked so cultured on the outside, but she was also one of a kind.

All of a sudden, the crowd seemed to feel that Xiao Yue and Chu Yu matched each other rather well...

At this point, Chu Yu replied, "Follow me, I can make you better."

Without a second glance, Chu Yu left.

Those who were dining with Xie Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but none dared to restrain Chu Yu.

They were not scared of Chu Yu, he had no aura about him. Just by the amount of effort he required to lift up that vase, they could tell that he was a trash that couldn’t cultivate.

The key was that Lord Thief, it was too terrifying!

Just the aura it radiated was sufficient to scare people from approaching it. If not for its foul mouth, that bird would be a great master!

What surprised everyone further was that beautiful Xiao Yue actually followed Chu Yu out after a brief moment of hesitation

Seeing this, their eyes fell to the floor.

Limitless - Chapter 10: Beat him!

Chapter 10: Beat him!

As night fell, Yan Jing was still bustling with activity, lights lit the city and human and vehicular traffic alike showed no signs of abating.

As one of the world’s most prosperous cities, it never sleeps.

With the night sky as a backdrop, many rushed about lethargically. No matter what time it was, there was no shortage of people caught in the rat race, trying to fight for a more comfortable life.

By the same token, there were those who lived for the night life.

Castes exist regardless of era.

Xie Tianyu was sitting in a posh clubhouse having dinner with a few young gentlemen when he once again received news heart clenching news.

His five most trusted confidants disappeared after exiting the city this afternoon!

Their vehicle was found just outside the ten rings around Yan Jing, but they had all disappeared.

Xie Tianyu was shocked beyond belief and felt unparalleled rage.

The fate of Fang Hu’s lieutenants were of little matter to him, and their death would not trigger an emotional response from him.

However, these five people were his, his trusted confidants!

They had followed him around since young, and he had brought along these five men to Yan Jing since the inception of the Xie Clan. Even though their relationship was one between an owner and servants, they were very close.

Now, they were all missing, and no one knew if they were dead or alive... though they were more likely dead!

Else, with messaging as advanced as it is, there would have been news from them by now.

Anyone who could kill them even before they could send a message must be of Acupoint Charging Stage Seven and above, he feared.

Chu Yu... really had an expert by his side!

Damn it!

How could this happen?

Xie Tianyu’s heart bled for his men even as the rage in his heart burned like an inferno.

Yet, an undercurrent of fear always remained, giving his raging heart an uncomfortable touch of coldness.

He worried every time he thought about what the Chu Clan was capable of.

Yet, he did not want to show his fear, for fear that he would embarrass himself.

However, the people around the table were elites, and could tell with a single look that Xie Tianyu was out of sorts.

Xiao Yue, the beautiful lady from the courtyard, was also present. She sat at the side, wearing a light yellow dress which showed off her snow white skin, as beautiful as ever.

Xiao Yue glanced at Xie Tianyu, a look of disdain evident deep in her eyes.

If not for the fact that her elders had arranged for her to live at his house temporarily, she may have never given a second look to someone like him, much less interact with him.

Superficial, temperamental and extremely arrogant. She hated such people.

"Brother Tianyu, what happened?" a young male, about 23 years old, asked. He was rather handsome, but had deep eyebags and a pale face. He seemed slightly fake, almost as if he lived a life of overindulgence.

It was evident that he came from an influential family by the respect shown to him by the people around him.

The other people also looked at Xie Tianyu quizzically.

"Tianyu, is that anything that we can help with?"

"Yup, you can ask us for anything."

They were all very sincere in their offers.

Xie Tianyu was in a position of great influence in Yan Jing. He had influence over many people, be it officials or peasants. Even those who came from more influential families showed deference to Xie Tianyu.

Tonight’s dinner was hosted by Xie Tianyu and the turnout was great.

"Haha, nothing much, let’s keep drinking." Xie Tianyu smiled, unwilling to say any more on that matter.

He was not shallow, he had motives other than lust in his pursuit for Lin Shi Meng.

As for his personal vendetta against Chu Yu... no one could find out about it.

Even though the Chu Clan could not reach him in Yan Jing, the Xie Clan did not dare to throw their weight around. If one wanted to kill someone for no reason... he had better keep it a secret, or it may incite fear in others.

If you were so barbaric that you killed anyone who caused you a small inconvenience, no one would dare to have any dealings with you.

Xie Tianyu did not want such a reputation.

He had only dared to go after Chu Yu because Chu Yu was uncultivable trash, easy to kill. Furthermore, he had mistakenly thought that the Chu Clan had given up on Chu Yu!

He thought that killing an uncultivable person would not result in large consequences. Even if they did get angry, and come down on him, it would not be particularly harsh

No matter how vicious a pack of wolves were, they would not decide to go after another pack of wolves lightly.

Yet, he had finally begun to realize the folly of his ways!

Not only did the Chu Clan not give up on Chu Yu, they had increased his protection, having an expert follow him around! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

God damn it, was it really worth it to protect an uncultivable individual with such assets?

Xie Tianyu was extremely indignant, yet he also felt a tinge of regret. He didn’t manage to kill Chu Yu, and it was likely that he had been revealed as the mastermind in the process. This transaction... was extremely disadvantageous.

Seeing as Xie Tianyu was unwilling to speak further on the incident, the others decided not to force the issue and changed the conversation topic.

Slowly but surely, the atmosphere livened up once again.

Bam!

At this point, the cabin door was slammed open. It knocked against the wall, causing a huge "Bang!" to resonate through the room.

The people in the cabin were all given a fright, and looked anxiously in the direction of the door.

They were not ordinary people, yet this person could sneak up on them. This caused all of them to heighten their guard.

"Who are you? Don’t you know the rules? This is a private club!" A group of youths with deep seated eye bags and pale faces looked at Chu Yu from the corner of their eyes.

They didn’t continue berating him not because he was of high calibre, but because he had a keen eye.

He realized that the people here all dressed to the nines, but he too was not inferior to anyone!

What did strike the others as strange was the sparrow sitting on his shoulder.

The moment Xie Tianyu saw this person, his eyes widened and his mouth began to twitch with disbelief, almost like he had seen a ghost.

It was actually Chu Yu.

"Did you come to the wrong room my friend?" A youth in his late twenties, off to Tianyu’s side, asked flatly with nerves of steel.

He had recovered quickly from the little surprise of the door slamming open, but quickly recovered.

Chu Yu nodded at him, "I did not come to the wrong room, but I am not looking for you."

Another girl at the dinner table pointed at the sparrow on Chu Yu’s shoulder and guffawed, "I’ve seen people play with birds, but I have not seen anyone play with a sparrow, an ugly sparrow at that! Hahaha you are really quite the character!"

"F*ck you B*tch, you’re the ugly one, your whole family looks atrocious... people like you, won’t even be able to play with a bird your whole life!"

Even before Chu Yu could speak, the Lord Thief on his shoulder could not hold it in any longer and started firing off at the lady.

The words were extremely unbecoming of the situation, and the beautiful lady was shocked stiff by the barrage of words.

In that instant, many at the table had the urge to laugh, wondering where this bird had come from. How was its mouth so critical and sharp?

Yet, upon second thought, they decided to revert to their solemn look.

A sparrow who talks!

This was definitely a cultivated lifeform. Furthermore, with a mouth as damaging as this, it was definitely a highly spiritual animal.

This was definitely no ordinary bird!

The lady was initially stunned by the barrage, but when she recovered and understood what the Lord Thief had said, she flew into a murderous rage and bellowed at the sparrow, "do you have a death wish?"

The Lord Thief felt its blood boil as it thought of the stress and humiliation it faced. This was finally a chance for it to vent it out!

He squatted atop Chu Yu’s shoulder and laughed, "Does the lady want to play with birds?"

Pfft!

The pale faced young man could not control it any longer and burst out in laughter.

The others looked at the bird with judgemental eyes. It was incredibly uncouth, with an all too damaging mouth.

Even Xiao Yue could not resist the temptation to laugh, her face twitching briefly before she turned away.

The beautiful lady was filled with so much rage she almost vomited blood. First she looked at the laughing young gentleman with bloodshot eyes, before turning her gaze towards the Lord Thief as strong waves of energy emanated from her.

It could explode at any time!

From the moment Xie Tianyu saw Chu Yu, he was keenly aware that Chu Yu had come specially for him.

If he continued to act dumb now, and news of this spread, he would not be able to face anyone ever again.

At that moment, the lady who was about to explode with anger stood up and stared coldly at Chu Yu.

"Chu Yu, what are you doing here?"

He realized that Chu Yu did not bring any reinforcements, where did he get such confidence from?

Could it be that he was not actually ruined, and he had been acting for the past 16 years...

A disturbing premonition began to form in his heart.

Yet, at this moment, Chu Yu shouted, "Lord Thief, spank him!"

He was actually using that ugly bird to hit people?

Even if it was a strong spirit, it was just a sparrow, what was the most it could do?

Everyone began to find it increasingly ridiculous.

Even Xiao Yue, who was sitting quietly at the side, betrayed traces of surprise.

"Should I kill him?" the sparrow asked loudly as it squatted atop Chu Yu’s shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu’s expression darkened considerably!

After all, he was one of the top 20 individuals on the Heaven’s Pride Board, how could he be mocked by an ugly little sparrow.

Chu Yu glanced at Xie Tianyu and sighed, "nevermind, just teach him a lesson, don’t actually kill him."

Xie Tianyu’s expression darkened further and he stared icily at Chu Yu, "you are courting death!"

"F*ck you!" the Lord Thief scolded. And then it attacked! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

To be exact, it attacked with its wings!

The sparrow, no bigger than the size of a palm, flapped its wings and rocketed straight towards Xie Tianyu’s face.

Limitless - Chapter 9: Lord Thief

Chapter 9: Lord Thief

Suppressing your cultivation level and fooling others is extremely easy and straightforward. All one needed was to be faster and stronger than the person he was trying to fool.

"Ngggggg!" [1]

The whirring that accompanied the punch revealed its murderous intent!

The punch smashed all the surrounding greenery as it travelled towards Chu Yu.

Its power sent dirt and rocks flying!

"This is how to properly suppress ones cultivation!" The middle aged man guffawed, arrogance written all over his face.

"You are absolutely right!" Chu Yu wholeheartedly agreed.

Then, he punched.

His punch found its mark earlier despite being released later, bringing with it an explosion of force!

Bang!

The sound echoed flatly.

The middle aged man looked at his caved in chest in disbelief.

With a final exclamation, blood began to sputter from his mouth

All his internal organs had been smashed by a single punch from Chu Yu.

His body gave way, and he crumpled to the ground, eyes still wide open.

He refused to resign to this fate!

How unbelievable!

This was impossible!

Only on the brink of death did he realize that the b*stard that stood before him, the one who was ruined for the past 16 years, was not merely an Acupoint Charging Stage Five warrior. His cultivation level was unprecedented!

Anyone who could punch with such speed and kill him with such ease was at least Acupoint Charging Stage Seven, maybe even... Stage Eight!

Master Yu... disaster is about to befall you!

Even on the brink of death, this loyal man worried about his master and not his family.

Chu Yu suppressed the nagging discomfort he felt and dragged the man’s body away with lightning speed.

Soon after, the blonde, together with the others, rushed to the scene.

Having seen the aftermath of the duel, their faces paled with doubt.

"That b*stard actually had reinforcements!" The blonde bellowed, "brother Jiu may have already suffered the consequences."

"Retreat immediately and report to Master Yu!" The Acupoint Charging Stage Five martial artist said solemnly. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

The blonde immediately took out his phone and was prepared to call Xie Tianyu.

Snap!

His phone, and his hand shattered in an instant.

"Ah!" The blonde screamed in pain.

Only then did an earth shattering sound hit them.

That was the sonic boom! The punch had been thrown at speeds surpassing the speed of sound.

Without hesitation, the Acupoint Charging Stage Five martial artist turned his back and made a break for it.

Master Yu must be apprised of the face that there was an expert guarding Chu Yu. Else, the consequences could be catastrophic!

More importantly, he had no intention of dying here!

There was no news of Brother Jiu, and he was an Acupoint Charging Stage Six expert. Being only at Acupoint Charging Stage Five, how could he stay?

Snap!

He looked down and saw a gaping hole in his chest, blood flowing from the cavity.

In an instant, his energy was emptied.

His legs turned to jelly and he kneeled on the floor before finally falling to the ground.

"How could this happen?"

"What actually happened?"

At this point, the other two Acupoint Charging Stage Four martial artists arrived at the scene. Even though they were at the same stage as the blonde, the blonde had harnessed an additional two Acupoints on his feet, giving him an advantage in speed, matching those of an Acupoint Charging Stage Five.

As a result, they were slightly slower, and were greeted by such a gory scene.

"F*ck me!"

"Damn it, we’ve been set up..."

Snap! Snap!

Before they could finish their sentences, two rocks had penetrated their skulls, painting their faces crimson with blood.

Thump, thump.

The two men crumpled to the ground.

The crippled blonde watched the scene unfold by the side, his fear reaching a new high.

Chu Yu turned around, looked at him and smiled. "What were you saying? You said that I was trash... and I should stand still? Am I right?"

Pressing on the wound that was once his hand, the blonde looked at Chu Yu with unparalleled fear, almost to the point of sh*tting his pants.

The fear he felt was close to what Zuo Zong felt on Mount Tai.

Yet, he had significantly less control over his emotions.

At the very least, before Zuo Zong and Pointy Eyes had joined Fang Hu’s gang, they had been assassins for many years. Even though they were slightly pampered after joining the gang, they still retained the basics.

Even though they were not fearless in the face of death, they were relatively calm.

On the other hand, Blondie was a slave in the Xie Clan. Because he was talented, Xie Tianyu chose to train him and keep him by his side.

All these years, he had been to many events and gained plenty of exposure. However, this was the first time that he was on someone’s chopping block.

As he saw Chu Yu saunter towards him, he burst into tears.

"Don’t kill me... don’t kill me, I’m begging you!" With a thump, he knelt down in front of Chu Yu, "as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do anything for you!"

"Xie Tianyu sent you to kill me?" Chu Yu questioned, frowning.

"Yes, yes it was Master Yu... no, it was that ba*tard Xie Tianyu who sent us to kill you." Blondie stammered.

Chu Yu looked disdainfully at blondie, disappointed: Not all lackeys serving the scions of big factions were painfully loyal.

Some of them were like blondie, so afraid of death they would sell out their bosses.

"Then do you know whose men were on Mount Tai?" Even though Chu Yu had gained plenty of information from Zuo Zong, he wanted to verify the information with Blondie.

"Fang... Fang Hu, it was Fang Hu, a gang leader in the Qi Lu area. Those were his men..." Blondie knew quite a lot; he was clearly a confidante to Xie Tianyu.

Chu Yu nodded his head. He was very sure now that the mastermind behind the ambush on Mount Tai was Xie Tianyu. The executors over on Tai Shan were Zuo Zong and Qiao De, two lieutenants in the Black Tiger Gang.

After confirming the information, Chu Yu stared icily at Blondie.

Blondie was horrified, but before he could beg for his life, Chu Yu flicked his finger and a small stone penetrated his brain.

He could not leave any of these people alive!

Else news of his recovery would be exposed within moments.

Afterwhich, Chu Yu found a suitable piece of land to bury all 5 bodies.

Just like how he dealt with Zuo Zong’s and Qiao De’s bodies, Chu Yu ensured that they were buried deep in the ground and put in place several measures. This ensured that even the police dogs would be unable to find any trace of them.

Just as Chu Yu was preparing to leave, a clear crisp voice came from the canopy.

"Ha, I saw you murder all those people!"

Boom!

A terrifying force exploded from Chu Yu’s body

With his palm, he punched in the direction of the sound.

Boom!

All the trees in that direction instantly turned to ashes!

Flutter!

A grey sparrow, no bigger than a palm flew towards the sky from that direction.

As it flew, it cawed, "F*ck, you’re trying to silence a bird!"

Chu Yu was speechless, "..."

It was a sparrow, but how could sparrows speak?

Chu Yu frowned, without knowing how to fly, there was no way he could chase up to this bird. But if he let it just fly away like that, it could very well reveal his secret to the world.

Ever since the Earth’s Magnetic Field was changed and its poles reversed, many animals became extremely intelligent overnight.

Having ingested many spiritual medicines and herbs, they were able to harness their Acupoints and gain immense strength and intelligence.

Some of the animals who were capable of cultivation prior to the pole reversal became even more terrifying after.

This sparrow must belong to one of these groups.

Chu Yu raised his head to look at the sparrow circling overhead. He had two tiny stones clasped in his hand. His face betrayed some sinister thoughts as he calculated the probability of knocking it from the air.

"F*ck, you little b*stard, why would you use such underhand means? If it wasn't for the fact that I am fast, I would have died to your palm!" The sparrow flapped its wings and circled ahead.

"You b*tch, what are you still doing here... scram!" Chu Yu squinted and used his third eye to look at the sparrow.

What he saw gave him the fright of his life. It was unbelievable! This thing, no bigger than his palm, had actually attained Acupoint Charging Stage Seven!

This was no ordinary animal!

Any lifeform capable of Stage Seven in this world could be considered a little demon.

At this point, the sparrow circling above sneaked an attack, morphing into a bolt of lightning and rocketed for Chu Yu’s belly.

"F*ck you!" the Lord Thief screamed with coldness, almost as if it was a different bird altogether.

An unstoppable wave of force gushed from its body, smashing the surrounding trees to smithereens,

Its tiny beak shimmered with a cold light and its sharp tip was aimed straight at Chu Yu’s eyes.

If it did impact his eye, even a Acupoint Charging Level Nine Expert would be blinded by such an attack.

What a vicious bird!

How cunning and barbaric!

It was fortunate that Chu Yu was of a higher cultivation level. Else, he would have been caught by the bird’s sneak attack.

In the eyes of Chu Yu, the sparrow’s movement were clear as day; it was extremely fast, and would not lose to the average Acupoint Charging Stage Eight martial artist.

The terrifying power of Acupoint Charging Stage Seven was being fully exploited by this little bird.

Yet Chu Yu was no longer the trash who could see but could not react!

Chu Yu whipped his arm around and slapped the sparrow out of the sky!

He managed to connect his attack first despite having moved after the bird. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

This was the difference in power!

Bang!

Hum!

The attack had contacted even before the sound had reached the bird.

The sparrow was knocked like a cannonball kilometers away by Chu Yu’s attack and landed with a loud thud.

It grasped its wings, struggling to stand up on its feet.

Chu Yu was there in an instant, and was surprised at the strength of the Lord Thief. How could it be that his slap did not kill it?

"Ouch, god damn it, it hurts so much, F*ck you... you b*stard... how could you use such underhand means. Even though it was injured, it was still shooting its mouth off.

Yet, very quickly, it shut up.

A large shadow loomed over it. For a small animal like the sparrow, Chu Yu was like a mountain.

"Aiyo, brother, master! Please don’t kill me, we are one family! Why won’t you stop killing?" The sparrow’s tone became extremely soft, almost as if it was reuniting with a long lost kin.

Chu Yu stared at the bird, mouth agape and thought to himself "Is this really just a bird?"
