Chapter 591: Dumbfounded
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In this case, Dong Tianleng was not embellishing the truth. Since he had gotten to know Yun Yang, he really did get the chance to meet numerous masterly experts like Ling Xiaozui, Lei Dongtian, the Four Seasons Tower's Four Venerable Lords, and Dugu Chou whom he had encountered today. Such encounters were rarely available to others. In addition, while these people terrified Dong Tianleng to the point of almost wetting his pants, he did not actually succumb to fear. His 'courage' was something that a common man could not possibly compare to. It was impressive indeed!
Bai Yixue was not overly impressed by what he was witnessing. He glanced towards the direction where Dong Tianleng had fled, thinking that the fellow had no sense of justice at all – did he have to be so frightened? What was there to be scared about, when he was here, one of Yutang's peerless experts? Could there be Ling Xiaozui, Dugu Chou or Jun Moyan among these two people? He could vouch that Jun Moyan was definitely not inside, as he could recognize him and had even fought with him before!
"Put Big Whitey down!"
Bai Yixue said coldly, "Seeing that you are the residence's guests, I shall refrain from being too harsh. However, a guest should behave like one. This little Whitey is my young master's pet, it's not for you to mishandle!"
Bai Yixue was honestly aggravated as he watched Big Whitey struggle in Dugu Chou's hand.
What a merry time it was when all five Whiteys were home wreaking havoc together, but when Whitey Two and Three were lost after going out with young master, the merry atmosphere no longer existed. There was only the constant cacophony of miserable mewling that was filled with longing. It picked at the empathy of Bai Yixue and the others.
Everyone in the Residence of Yun felt sorry for the three Whiteys, yet this fellow had caught one and was handling it roughly... Despite being at home, Bai Yixue was furious, looking at Big Whitey's pitiful state without being able to do anything about it.
Dugu Chou replied, chuckling, "It's not all that difficult to make me put it down."
"What do you want?" Bai Yixue questioned angrily.
Dugu Chou answered in amusement, "As long as you win a battle against me, I'll put it down. How about that?"
"You would do well to think this through, lest you lose your reputation!" Bai Yixue chortled in incredulous anger.
In his mind, the other party's cultivation base must be significant to be able to seize Big Whitey, but Big Whitey was never on guard in its own home. It would be an easy feat for any cultivator of heaven realm; what was more important was that Bai Yixue had just experienced another breakthrough in his cultivation base and was now at the peak of eighth heaven, ready to step into ninth heaven at any time. He was an incredible expert, peerless in Tiantang City; he was not afraid even if he were to go against Jun Moyan; why would he be scared now?
In addition, Dugu Chou had advanced to the point where could return to his own simplest form. His strength and force were so well hidden that nothing could be seen; even his aura was concealed. With Bai Yixue's current cultivation base, how could he be able to discern it?
Dugu Chou said seriously, "I've thought it through. What is the worth of reputation? If I could obtain defeat, then that is where the value lies!"
Bai Yixue laughed. Suddenly, he straightened up and turned as sharp as a sword. He recited sonorously, "Who is it, wearing white from head to toe? The divine blade slays even dead souls. Who in the world knows this? Only those that see white snow all around!"
Letting out a drawn-out howl, he readied himself, pulling his sword out of the scabbard gracefully. A cry and a glimmer later, the sword appeared in Bai Yixue's hands. Bai Yixue shot up from the ground, his form blurring in the air; his graceful silhouette and lean shape bolted over like a godly being.
Swoosh!
Bai Yixue's sword turned into fluttering snow, showering down upon those who were standing around like a storm.
Dugu Chou reacted as he was up against a formidable enemy. He pulled out his sword from the scabbard with a grim expression and cried out, "Great technique!"
Bai Yixue was increasingly certain that the other party was an easy target, and called out disparagingly, "A battle of experts will show disparity easily. There is no need to waste your effort. Put down Big Whitey quickly, I won't find fault with you, lest the amicability is lost."
Despite saying so, he turned and dealt nineteen consecutive strikes, spinning seven or eighth times around Dugu Chou.
Ling Xiaozui was speechless. Why had he never heard of Dugu Chou's bizarre hobby in the past? Forget the fact that he enjoyed petting cats and dogs, he was playing around with human as well now! What was more, he was serious. Could it be any more ridiculous?

Bai Yixue's white robes were more dazzling than the snow as he dashed around with ease and elegance like a dragon. His sword struck in various directions, performing a flawless execution of his art.
On the contrary, Dugu Chou looked like he was having a hard time defending, barely able to tackle the attacks that were launched at him. It was like he was going to lose at any time.
Bai Yixue grew increasingly delighted the more he fought, hollering, "Aren't you admitting defeat? If you really wait for me, big brother, to defeat you, that wouldn't be the way I should treat my guests now."
Dugu Chou was still holding on to Big Whitey while wielding his sword in another hand. He was defending the attacks with all his might, looking for all the world like he lacked ability, yet he still had the time to reply, "A man can be killed, but not humiliated. Come on and defeat me if you are capable enough!"
"What a great man! What a backbone you have!" Bai Yixue praised him aloud and said triumphantly, "Just for this dignity you possess, I won't injure you as long as you call me big brother."
Dugu Chou bit his tongue right away, no longer saying another word.
The battle went on, both men launching attacks and defending against each other's strikes.
Yun Yang had just left Feng Xiange and Gu Chaliang to settle down. Before he could even have a breather, he heard the ruckus outside and ran out to have a look. Once he saw the cause of the commotion, his mouth fell open.
Crack!
Yun Yang cried out in pain and pushed his jaw back into place, hissing, "What's going on?"
The sword intent was fervent; Bai Yixue was fighting Dugu Chou. More importantly, the former was having the upper hand, slowly pushing Dugu Chou back.
Yun Yang was dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do.
Ling Xiaozui pursed his lips before speaking with a low chuckle, "Your residence does indeed have plenty of experts. It's absolutely teeming with talent."
Yun Yang flushed in embarrassment, and called out in a hurry, "Stop, stop it! We're all on the same side, our own people!"
"I know that he's one of us! That's why I didn't give it my all, I'm only playing with him!" Bai Yixue said, laughing. With a drawn-out howl and a sense of undeniable triumph, he uttered breezily, "All shall come to an end!"
He exhaled with a shout, sword light spilled down from the heavens like a storm; this display of might was several times more formidable than his earlier performance.
Dugu Chou chortled upon seeing it and stood still instead, sending a slap over to his nemesis.
Bai Yixue cried out instantly, "Don't simply block it! I won't actually hurt you... Oh no... f*ck!"
The strike had been birthed from Bai Yixue's entire strength, one that came from the limits of his power; naturally, it was frighteningly menacing. However, it was exactly because it was an intentional show of skill that it held no reservation and was clearly from a man who wasn't holding back. According to Bai Yixue's initial assumption regarding Dugu Chou's response, he should have had no reaction towards this strike. While the strike was alarming, it would only brush past the target without injuring him.
Contrary to his original assumptions, Dugu Chou had actually reacted and was heading towards it. He would take Bai Yixue's strongest attack head-on. How could the latter not be worried?
Right when Bai Yixue was about to dive into a panic, he watched his opponent deal out a slap. A wave of force that was as powerful as a tsunami swept out, drowning not only the sword light but the attacker himself.
Bang!
Bai Yixue flew away like a ball.
Even as he soared through the air, Bai Yixue was completely dumbfounded!
