Chapter 1569: Completely Losing Face

Although Qin Zhaoyun was mocking Zhao Yi, he was extremely astonished in his heart.

First, he was shocked by Ye Yuan's astonishing speed of cultivation; second, he was shocked that Ye Yuan, at the middle Guixu stage, could actually fight Zhao Yi to such an extent.

"Stop the nonsense! This kid has comprehended the laws of space and is very troublesome. Come and help quickly!" Zhao Yi shouted coldly.

Qin Zhaoyun and Wen Yiyang both shuddered, exchanged a glance, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

The laws of space were legendary laws!

How on earth did this kid manage to do it?

"Kid, don't be so arrogant! Today you've walked right into the trap; even with wings, you won't escape!"

Qin Zhaoyun let out a loud shout and also joined the fray.

A strange glint flashed in Wen Yiyang's eyes, and he finally decided to make a move against Ye Yuan.

Terrible laws of power overflowed, smashing the surrounding houses into dust.

How astonishing was the destructive power of three half-step Divine Lords?

Surrounded by the three half-step Divine Lord powerhouses, Ye Yuan appeared frail and vulnerable.

Yet, he stood firm and unyielding!

The three men exhausted all their means but could not even catch a corner of Ye Yuan's clothes.

On the contrary, a casual sword strike from Ye Yuan would throw them into a fluster.

Neither side could gain the upper hand over the other!

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

How powerful were half-step Divine Lords? Yet the three of them together could not handle a middle Guixu stage cultivator.

Ye Yuan was as freakish as ever!

"This... no wonder he dared to swagger back. Ye Yuan's strength is truly formidable!"

"The laws of space are the supreme laws; even Divine Lord powerhouses cannot easily comprehend them. He's only at the Guixu stage, yet he has already comprehended them!"

"In just twenty years, Ye Yuan's strength has become comparable to a half-step Divine Lord. It's simply unbelievable."

"If he hadn't left, our Wumeng Royal City would have risen completely! This glory belongs to Wumeng Royal City!"

...

Ye Yuan moved unpredictably, weaving among the three without any sign of defeat.

Watching the great battle from Clear Wind Tower, Ning Siyu exclaimed in surprise, "So Master Ye's martial arts strength is this formidable! No wonder I couldn't even last a single move against him! I really don't know how he cultivates. He's not much older than me, so why is he so strong?"

The little fatty said, "Ye Yuan simply cannot be judged by common sense. Any genius pales in comparison before him."

Ning Siyu did not refute; she had no objection to this statement.

Even her own master had to address Ye Yuan as Master Ye when meeting him; one could imagine how freakish he was.

If this were said, it would scare the entire city to death!

At that moment, Ye Yuan suddenly moved and withdrew from the trio's encirclement.

The movement was very relaxed and effortless.

The three half-step Divine Lords could not even trap him!

The three looked at Ye Yuan with extreme wariness.

"The main party has arrived, so I won't play with you anymore. But... I'll take Qin Zhaoyun's life today," Ye Yuan said calmly, as if stating something trivial.

An overwhelming aura descended from the sky. Qin Xiao stood in the void, stepping out from emptiness.

He sized up Ye Yuan with a playful expression, as if very interested.

Seeing Qin Xiao appear, Qin Zhaoyun's heart relaxed, and he sneered, "Kid, you've got it backwards! Today, no one can save you!"

Qin Xiao looked at Ye Yuan and chuckled, "I really don't know where you get the courage to return to Wumeng Royal City! I'm very curious to see your trump card."

Facing Qin Xiao, Ye Yuan remained calm.

Back then, Qin Xiao was the only Divine Lord realm existence in Wumeng Royal City.

But now, Ye Yuan had even seen Xuan Yu, a Divine Lord at the ninth heaven; a mere Qin Xiao was naturally beneath his notice.

Ye Yuan sheathed his long sword, stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Don't worry, you'll see it soon enough."

How could Qin Xiao, with his strength, be intimidated by Ye Yuan?

He smiled faintly, "No matter what trump card you have, before a Divine Lord powerhouse, it's all trash!"

As he spoke, Qin Xiao's aura suddenly surged, and an overwhelmingly powerful pressure instantly enveloped several streets, making everyone feel oppressed.

"Divine Lord second heaven!" Wen Yiyang's face changed as he exclaimed.

Qin Zhaoyun's face showed ecstasy, and he laughed, "Haha, congratulations to the City Lord for breaking through!"

The stronger Qin Xiao's strength, the better the news for his Qin family.

Thus, Qin Zhaoyun was almost jumping for joy.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan instead smiled and said, "Are you showing off your martial power to me? Do you think I don't know that your breakthrough was thanks to the fourth-rank divine pill I helped you win?"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, recalling the Hundred Cities Trial from back then.

The geniuses from hundreds of royal cities gathered together; only by obtaining first place could one get this fourth-rank divine pill, showing it was no ordinary item.

It was only natural for Qin Xiao to break through with it.

Ye Yuan's words made the expressions of the city's residents turn strange.

But they dared not speak out; the Divine Lord realm's divine sense was too sharp; they dared not criticize the City Lord.

In their hearts, however, they felt contempt.

Originally, with Wumeng Royal City's strength, it was impossible to win first place in the Hundred Cities Trial.

But Ye Yuan helped him achieve it.

Because of Ye Yuan, he could break through to the Divine Lord second heaven!

Wasn't this scene a classic case of repaying kindness with enmity?

Qin Xiao's expression turned cold, and he said sternly, "Pills are merely external things; to break through, one must rely on one's own talent! A mere pill is just icing on the cake!"

Ye Yuan smiled faintly, "Is that so? The Junlin Pill can increase the breakthrough chance for early-stage Divine Lord cultivators. The one I brought back was a top-grade Junlin Pill, which could increase the breakthrough chance by at least thirty percent. You were lucky and succeeded. Without the Junlin Pill, could you have broken through?"

Ye Yuan's words made everyone exclaim in surprise.

A pill that could help a Divine Lord powerhouse break through was naturally no ordinary pill.

By analogy, such pills were the most expensive among pills of the same rank.

A fourth-rank divine pill was often worth over a hundred million divine spirit stones.

I'm afraid that even if Qin Xiao sold everything he had, he couldn't afford it.

Qin Xiao hadn't expected Ye Yuan to recognize the fourth-rank divine pill.

Saying it in front of everyone now truly made him lose all face.

He snorted coldly, furious from shame, and said, "No matter how sharp your tongue is, you won't escape death today! I want to see what your trump card really is!"

With that, Qin Xiao pointed a finger in the void, and a powerful world force tore through space, shooting straight at Ye Yuan.

With that one finger, the wind and clouds changed color!

However, Ye Yuan still looked at Qin Xiao with a half-smile, as if he had no intention of dodging.

Just then, the void trembled, and a figure appeared out of nowhere, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.

He waved his sleeve, and another surge of world force spread out.

This force was even more terrifying than Qin Xiao's!

Qin Xiao's finger strike was thus effortlessly annihilated.
