On the arena.
Ye Xuan faced a white light, which gradually formed into a man!
The moment the man appeared, he vanished from his spot!
*Whoosh!*
The space before Ye Xuan trembled as a fist mark surged toward him!
Seeing the man attack without hesitation, Ye Xuan froze briefly. He didn’t dodge, letting the fist strike his forehead, but at the same time, he landed a punch on the man’s forehead!
*Bang!*
*Boom!*
Ye Xuan stood unmoved, while the man was sent flying, his body disintegrating inch by inch mid-air!
Below the arena, the crowd was stunned!
Defeated in seconds?
Below, Qiu Lan watched Ye Xuan, frowning slightly. “A body cultivator? Wasn’t he supposed to be a sword cultivator?”
She turned to the shadowy figure beside her. “Keep investigating!”
The shadow bowed respectfully and left.
On the arena, the man stood frozen. As Ye Xuan prepared to strike again, the man suddenly shouted, “Stop! I concede!”
Concede!
Ye Xuan blinked, then said, “No more fighting?”
The man shook his head. “No more!”
With that, he turned and left!
Ye Xuan touched his nose, puzzled. He conceded just like that?
At that moment, a wooden plaque and a storage ring floated toward Ye Xuan!
The plaque bore the number: 100!
The storage ring contained two thousand ancient crystals!
Ye Xuan pocketed the plaque and walked off the arena, approaching Qiu Lan with a smile. “Miss Qiu Lan, I won!”
He flicked his finger, and a storage ring with exactly one thousand ancient crystals flew to her.
Qiu Lan took the ring, smiling. “Congratulations!”
Ye Xuan smiled back, then glanced at the Ancient Desolate Ranking on the arena. Casually, he said, “Miss Qiu Lan, you want to kill me?”
Qiu Lan’s eyes narrowed, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled. “Why would Young Master Ye say that?”
Ye Xuan looked at her, grinning. “Young Master Ye? Not Young Master Yang?”
Qiu Lan’s gaze turned icy in an instant!
Ye Xuan laughed. “If I’m not mistaken, Miss Qiu Lan plans to kill me on the arena! Because only then would my friend Gu not intervene, right?”
Seeing Ye Xuan had seen through her, Qiu Lan dropped the pretense and smiled faintly. “Correct!”
She glanced at him. “I’m curious, though—how did you figure it out?”
Ye Xuan said, “Killing intent! Though you hid it well, I still sensed it!”
In truth, the real reason was his bloodline!
After his Mad Demon Bloodline broke through again, he found himself hypersensitive to killing intent, bloodlust, and malice!
Even a trace of it, he could feel clearly!
Qiu Lan smiled. “Young Master Ye, do you know who wants you dead?”
Ye Xuan said, “The Law God!”
Qiu Lan stared at him. “You knew!”
Ye Xuan chuckled lightly. “He’s my only enemy lately. I can’t think of anyone else! But you, Miss Qiu Lan, aren’t from the Law Realm, are you?”
Qiu Lan smiled. “Why don’t you guess my identity, Young Master Ye?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Miss Qiu Lan, have you never wondered why the Law God doesn’t come to kill me himself?”
Qiu Lan looked at the arena, where new challengers had appeared.
She said, “Young Master Ye has a peerless powerhouse by his side!”
Ye Xuan laughed softly. “Miss Qiu Lan, I don’t want to waste words. I’m heading to the arena now. Tell me, who’s the opponent you’ve arranged for me? I’ll challenge them directly!”
Qiu Lan turned to look at Ye Xuan, silent.
Ye Xuan smiled. “I think we shouldn’t waste each other’s time, don’t you agree?”
Qiu Lan nodded slightly. “Young Master Ye is quite confident!”
She pointed at the arena. “You’ll know when you go up!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Alright!”
With a tremble, he appeared on the arena!
At that moment, a black-robed man appeared before him, tossing a storage ring into the Ancient Desolate Ranking.
The challenge began!
The black-robed man suddenly turned into a black wind, vanishing!
*Whoosh!*
The space before Ye Xuan shattered, and a cold gleam slashed out!
“Evil Cause Realm!”
Someone in the crowd gasped!
Ye Xuan remained expressionless, letting the cold gleam strike his throat!
*Boom!*
A powerful force erupted at his throat, but Ye Xuan didn’t budge. At the same time, he threw a punch at the black-robed man’s forehead!
*Boom!*
With this unrestrained punch, the black-robed man was obliterated into nothingness!
The crowd below the arena was petrified!
An Evil Cause Realm cultivator couldn’t even break his defense?
Ye Xuan turned to Qiu Lan below. “Sending someone this weak—are you underestimating someone?”
Qiu Lan was silent!
She realized she had underestimated Ye Xuan’s strength!
The black-robed man was in the Evil Cause Realm, not weak at all. The next realm up, Human Realm, could rank in the top twenty of the Ancient Desolate Ranking!
With countless prodigies in the four universes, making the top twenty was terrifying!
Yet an Evil Cause Realm cultivator, capable of ranking in the top fifty, was killed in one punch by Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan suddenly laughed. “Why don’t you come up yourself, Miss Qiu Lan?”
Qiu Lan looked at him. “Are you sure?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Absolutely!”
Qiu Lan chuckled lightly. “Then you’ll have to challenge me, Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan turned to the Ancient Desolate Ranking, quickly finding Qiu Lan’s name!
Rank 18!
Challenge fee: one million ancient crystals!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a storage ring flew into the ranking!
At that moment, Qiu Lan appeared before him, looking at Ye Xuan. “I must say, Young Master Ye…”
Ye Xuan suddenly vanished, reappearing in front of Qiu Lan. The next moment, he threw a ferocious punch at her!
He didn’t use his sword!
His physical body was enough!
The punch distorted the space before Qiu Lan!
Its power was so explosive that even the reinforced arena space couldn’t withstand it!
Seeing Ye Xuan’s terrifying punch, a ferocious glint flashed in Qiu Lan’s eyes. Instead of retreating, she charged forward, a long spear shooting from her palm like a thunderbolt!
Head-on clash!
*Boom!*
Fist and spear clashed, erupting in a burst of light. In an instant, Qiu Lan was forced back to the edge of the arena. At that moment, Ye Xuan appeared above her, his right foot slamming down from above.
Qiu Lan’s pupils shrank. She raised her spear to block.
*Bang!*
Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Xuan’s foot pressed down on the spear!
*Crack!*
The spear shattered instantly!
Qiu Lan’s legs buckled, nearly kneeling!
“Ah!”
Qiu Lan roared, trying to stand!
But Ye Xuan suddenly lifted his foot, easing the pressure. The next moment, he slammed it down again!
*Boom!*
The spear broke completely, and Ye Xuan’s foot pressed onto Qiu Lan’s shoulder!
*Bang!*
Unable to withstand the terrifying force, Qiu Lan knelt on the ground, which trembled and cracked!
Below the arena, silence reigned!
This was pure power!
Everyone stared in shock at the scene!
Qiu Lan knelt, struggling to resist, but Ye Xuan’s foot felt like a million pounds, pinning her down!
Worse, she felt her organs shattering!
At that moment, an elder below snarled, “She’s the daughter of the Grand Marshal of the Yuan Empire. If you dare kill her…”
Ye Xuan turned and threw a punch!
*Boom!*
The fist mark obliterated the elder into nothingness!
The crowd gasped, retreating in shock!
Ye Xuan turned back to Qiu Lan, kneeling before him. “I didn’t expect the Human Realm to be this weak!”
The crowd: “…”
Ye Xuan was genuinely a bit thrown off!
He truly hadn’t expected the Human Realm to be so weak—no, rather, he hadn’t realized how strong he was!
He used to think he was weak because of his enemies!
Who were they?
Gu?
Wu Bian Zhu?
The Master of the Great Dao Pen?
Against those three, he was naturally outmatched!
He had been foolish, always comparing himself to them. Wasn’t that just asking for pain?
He should have been comparing himself to peers of his level!
Realizing this, Ye Xuan sighed softly.
Why had he lived so tiringly before?
Because he was foolish!
Now, he had opened a new door!
At that moment, Qiu Lan looked up at Ye Xuan, snarling, “You dare humiliate me!”
Ye Xuan looked at her. “Are you worthy of my humiliation?”
Qiu Lan tried to speak, but a terrifying aura suddenly surged from the distance!
The crowd below gasped, retreating further!
The next moment, an armored elder appeared below the arena.
Seeing him, someone exclaimed, “The Grand Marshal of the Yuan Empire, Qiu Yuan!”
Qiu Yuan!
The Grand Marshal of the Yuan Empire, controlling nearly eighty percent of its forces, second only to the emperor!
And a Small Order Realm cultivator!
Qiu Yuan looked at Ye Xuan. “Release her!”
His tone brooked no argument!
Seeing this, the crowd turned to Ye Xuan, who smiled at Qiu Yuan. “You say release, and I should?”
Qiu Yuan stared at him. “If she’s harmed, I guarantee you’ll regret it for life.”
Ye Xuan suddenly swept his foot!
*Boom!*
Qiu Lan’s head was sent flying, and a terrifying force shattered her soul!
Completely erased!
On the arena, Ye Xuan adjusted his clothes and looked at Qiu Yuan. “Where’s the Yuan Empire? Point me in the direction!”
Little Pen: “…”
Little Tower suddenly sighed softly, “I admire the young master. No strength, yet he dares to show off like this, and it feels so real…”
