Chapter 1221: Stand Up If You're a Man!

With Ye Yuan's shout, everyone's gaze focused on him.

These people are shameless, actually having the nerve not to hand over their resources.

Yeah, there really are people like this! The human race is in such a crisis, and they're still so thick-skinned!

How can people be so shameless!

Especially those who had already handed over their spirit herbs and primal crystals felt they were righteous and had the right to curse others.

Ye Yuan hadn't expected that he wouldn't go looking for trouble with this 'impostor,' but the guy would provoke him instead.

He didn't want to cause trouble, but of course, he wasn't afraid of it either.

Before Ye Yuan could react, Bai Guang exploded.

Bai Guang sneered, 'You clueless fool, showing off here, thinking you're something special? Believe me, I could slap you dead with one hand?'

His words left everyone stunned.

Where did this madman come from, daring to speak to the Lingtian Divine King like that?

That 'Ye Yuan,' however, maintained an air of a master and said calmly, 'Heh, I've never seen such shameless people as you! How many of our Xuan Sect brothers are fighting on the front lines, while you hide here, unwilling to contribute even a little resource! If it weren't for the human race's crisis, I wouldn't waste words with you; I'd just destroy you!'

Lü'er had been annoyed all along, and now she stepped forward with her hands on her hips.

She was usually innocent and obedient, but if anyone dared to insult her master, she would be the first to not let it slide.

Lü'er sneered, 'Fine, I'm standing right here. If you have the guts, come and destroy me! I want to see just how powerful you, the Lingtian Divine King, really are!'

That 'Ye Yuan' didn't take Lü'er seriously at all and said disdainfully, 'Once I make a move, you won't have the chance to stand here and talk!'

Lü'er scoffed, 'With your lousy skills, you can only scare these fools. You think you can fool me?'

Lü'er's words were like a firecracker, igniting everyone.

"Your Excellency, teach this little wench a good lesson—she's gone too far!"

"Yes, this little girl's words are infuriating!"

...

"Ye Yuan" also intended to assert his authority, and said, "Little girl, you're asking for death yourself, so don't blame me for being ruthless with a beauty!"

Lü'er, however, said scornfully, "Come on, come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

That "Ye Yuan" was also angered by Lü'er's contemptuous attitude. He snorted coldly and said, "Make your move. I'll let you have three moves, or else people might think I'm bullying you!"

Lü'er curled her lips and said, "How about I let you have three moves? I'm afraid people might say I'm bullying you!"

"Hiss..."

Everyone drew in a cold breath, stunned by Lü'er's arrogance!

In this world, there was actually someone who dared to speak to the Lingtian Divine King like that.

Had she grown tired of living?

"Pfft..."

The three behind Lü'er, Ye Yuan and the others, couldn't help but laugh, thoroughly amused by Lü'er.

The attitude of the four finally made "Ye Yuan" fly into a rage from shame.

He joined his fingers as a sword, and a fierce sword intent howled forth!

It had to be said, his momentum was extremely intimidating.

The onlookers, seeing this sword aura, all had solemn expressions.

Indeed, worthy of being the Lingtian Divine King—his move was extraordinary!

However, Lü'er also joined her fingers as a sword, pointed into the void, and an ice arrow shot out with a howl.

“Ding…”

A crisp clashing sound rang out.

Neck and neck!

It was actually… neck and neck!

Everyone was dumbfounded. They had thought the outcome of this strike would surely be Lv’er severely injured.

But it was actually evenly matched!

“Ye Yuan’s” expression changed, but he reacted quickly, putting on a disdainful look and said, “Hmph! Who would have thought you little girl were hiding your strength! But I, the young master, cannot bear to hurt you; I didn’t even use one-tenth of my power. Otherwise, you would have already perished in all your beauty!”

As soon as he said this, the martial artists immediately relaxed.

That’s right, just a little girl; with the status of the Divine King Lingtian, how could he ruthlessly destroy a flower?

Just now, he was merely scaring the other party.

But Lv’er was now relentless, sneering, “Oh no, there are still two moves left! Go ahead and strike, don’t hold back at all!”

“You little girl, you don’t know when to quit! Big brother lets you off, and you climb all over him! This is no joke; if he really strikes, you’ll lose your life!” At this moment, the fake Bai Guang stepped in to mediate.

As soon as he said this, many people chimed in.

“This little girl is indeed not weak, but why is she so ungrateful?”

“Exactly, exactly. The adult is letting you off, why are you still making a fuss?”

…

These people had preconceived notions and had long believed that “Ye Yuan” was the real Divine King Lingtian, without any doubt.

In fact, Ye Yuan had long seen through the fake Ye Yuan’s strength; he was merely at the early stage of Void Profound.

Those dazzling domains and martial skills earlier were just some techniques he had cultivated to create a grand spectacle.

In truth, they had no real power.

With Lv’er’s current strength, she was more than enough to handle him.

“Hey, I said you’re just a dabbler, and you still won’t admit it. You think by getting these fools to pressure me, I’ll let it go? Let me tell you, no way! You won’t come? Then I’ll make a move!” Lv’er sneered and was about to strike.

The fake Ye Yuan’s expression changed, and he snorted coldly, “Are you even a man, letting a girl fight while you hide behind? If you’re a man, step forward!”

The fake Ye Yuan had no other choice; if they fought any longer, he would be exposed.

From that last exchange, he had already realized that Lv’er’s strength was on par with his, or even slightly superior.

His own strength was flashy but lacked real power.

These tricks could only be used to intimidate.

So he had to gamble everything, pinning his hopes on Ye Yuan.

Now he only hoped that Ye Yuan was the young master of some great family, with Lv’er as his bodyguard.

He hoped Ye Yuan had not hidden his strength and was truly at the Seventh Layer of Dao Profound.

After all, Ye Yuan was not very old; it was nearly impossible for him to have reached the Void Profound realm.

As for Lv’er, one prodigy was already rare; it couldn’t be that there were two at once, could it?

So he used words to pressure Ye Yuan into stepping up to take the challenge.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan and his three companions all laughed.

This guy really didn’t know how to spell the word ‘death’!

A fake ‘Li Gui’ meeting the real ‘Li Kui’—if this guy knew the truth, he wondered what expression he would have.

The fake Ye Yuan was unnerved by their laughter and suddenly felt he shouldn’t have run his mouth with that extra sentence.

If he had known this, why didn’t he just let them leave?

“Alright, since you put it that way, I’ll be a man. I’ll stand here and let you hit me. If you can break through my defense, I’ll give you a hundred ninth-grade spirit medicines!” Ye Yuan said with a half-smile.
