Chapter 1625: Battle Power That Shocks the World!

"Plop!"

As soon as he landed, Gu Han knelt directly and kowtowed to Ye Yuan repeatedly.

"Elder Ye, I beg you to save my master!" Gu Han said with red eyes.

When he came out just now, Ye Yuan had brought Gu Han along as well.

Being able to say those words at this moment showed that the kid was not bad at heart; it was just that he had been too arrogant in the past, refusing to let others off easily.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "Your Jiangyong Imperial City borders the demon territory, so you should hate them the most. Yet when Ling Zikun encountered the demons, he still wanted to deal with them insincerely. Why should I save someone like that?"

It wasn't that Ye Yuan was hard-hearted, but he had truly had enough of these people's shameless faces.

Gu Han gritted his teeth and said, "My master has shown me great kindness; I cannot watch him die here! Elder Ye... Elder Ye, if you don't save him, I'll fight my way back!"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Then go back. Saving you was just a casual act. If you're seeking death, can I stop you?"

Gu Han's blood surged, and he suddenly stood up, charging toward that side.

But before he had taken a few steps, countless dark red eyes swept toward him.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

A large group of Bone-Stripping Giant Rats charged toward him!

Gu Han instantly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, his whole body chilled to the bone.

At the same time, a powerful force field enveloped him, rendering him completely unable to move.

The Return to Void realm was simply too weak here.

Plop!

Gu Han stumbled back in fright but tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.

"H... help!"

A figure flashed, and a sharp edge appeared!

"Puff, puff, puff..."

With one sword strike, those mutated Bone-Stripping Giant Rats were directly cut in two!

"Still want to go back?" Ye Yuan stood with his sword, his back to Gu Han, and said indifferently.

Gu Han shook his head like a rattle-drum, trembling with fear.

Only then did he truly realize the immense gap between himself and Ye Yuan.

When he encountered these fierce beasts, he didn't even have the courage to strike.

But Ye Yuan killed them as easily as taking something out of his pocket!

Going back would be no different from seeking death.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

More and more mutated Bone-Stripping Giant Rats were attracted by the commotion and charged over.

Ye Yuan's sword moved with ethereal grace, like a harvester, reaping the lives of these Bone-Stripping Giant Rats wantonly, with none able to withstand a single blow.

"Don't worry, those old fellows are each more cunning and have deeper foundations than the last. Although these Bone-Stripping Giant Rats are formidable, they probably fall short of killing them," Ye Yuan said indifferently while swinging his sword.

Not only Gu Han, but Zheng Qi and the Celestial Eagle group were also seeing Ye Yuan fight for the first time, and they were equally shocked.

Ye Yuan had used spatial laws to evade Gu Han's attacks without truly striking.

But now, they finally knew how strong Ye Yuan was!

If Ye Yuan had struck back then, Gu Han probably wouldn't have lasted even one move before being instantly killed!

"So Elder Ye's spatial laws aren't his true strength; his real forte is the fusion of laws!"

"To be able to fuse sword laws and spatial laws to this extent, Elder Ye is a genius among geniuses! This is even harder than comprehending spatial laws alone!"

"Clearly, Elder Ye still has plenty in reserve! I wonder how strong he would be if he went all out!"

...

Originally, when they saw Ye Yuan fighting, some had thought of helping.

But now it seemed they didn't need to intervene at all.

Those Bone-Stripping Giant Rats couldn't even get close to him!

These mutated Bone-Stripping Giant Rats were creatures that even Divine Lord realm experts feared, yet Ye Yuan treated them as if he were in his own backyard.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Yuan had killed over a hundred Bone-Stripping Giant Rats, yet he remained calm and composed, showing no signs of fatigue.

Suddenly, a giant Bone-Stripping Giant Rat burst out from the swarm, turning into a streak of light and charging straight at Ye Yuan.

"Ye Yuan, be careful! This is a fourth-tier fierce beast!" Zheng Qi exclaimed.

With that, he was about to move to help Ye Yuan.

"Don't move; I've been waiting for it!" Ye Yuan suddenly spoke.

Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes full of disbelief.

Facing a fourth-tier Bone-Stripping Giant Rat, Ye Yuan advanced instead of retreating, thrusting his sword toward it.

At this moment, Ye Yuan's aura surged, his sword qi ethereal and elusive, shuttling unpredictably through space.

Ye Yuan's sword laws had long broken through to the fourth heaven in the spatial inheritance!

Fourth-heaven sword laws fused with second-heaven spatial laws—this was unprecedented.

Its power was now ready to be tested!

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Ye Yuan's sword qi and the Bone-Stripping Giant Rat's sharp claws crisscrossed in midair, spiritual energy scattering, sending the other Bone-Stripping Giant Rats flying.

The Celestial Eagle group was completely dumbfounded at the sight.

"I... what am I seeing? A Return to Void realm martial artist actually fighting a fourth-tier fierce beast to a standstill?"

"No, my eyes must be playing tricks on me! Fourth-tier is invincible against third-tier; how could anyone break this curse?"

"Such a prodigy exists in the world! Such a prodigy! Elder Ye is simply not human!"

"Elder Ye truly doesn't act unless he does, but when he does, it's earth-shattering!"

...

Fourth-tier fierce beasts also have a small world evolved within them and can use the power of that world.

Yet Ye Yuan fought it to a draw!

Such battle power was simply inconceivable, leaving everyone utterly astounded.

When Ye Yuan was at the Cave Abyss Divine realm, he had also defeated opponents at the Peeping Heaven Divine realm across tiers.

But the significance of that was completely different from now.

For the vast majority of people, such cross-realm battles were impossible.

However, a very few geniuses could still rely on their profound comprehension of laws to defeat opponents across tiers.

Back then, Ye Yuan was in a small world, where the martial artists' knowledge naturally couldn't compare to that of the Tongtian Realm.

But even in the Tongtian Realm, the iron law was that Return to Void realm martial artists couldn't defeat Divine Lord realm ones!

No one had ever broken this iron law!

From third-tier to fourth-tier was a qualitative transformation.

Once a martial artist possessed the power of a world, they truly qualified to dominate a region, because they could instantly kill any existence below their realm!

Thus, one can imagine how intense the shock in the Celestial Eagle group's hearts was at this moment.

Ye Yuan held the Junyi Sword, his entire being transformed into a war god, each sword strike appearing and disappearing mysteriously, elusive and unpredictable.

At this moment, the Ethereal Sword Art was truly performed to its peak by Ye Yuan!

Even a fourth-tier fierce beast could only eat dust under Ye Yuan's sword!

Zheng Qi's eyes were wide as saucers, his mouth agape for a long time.

Even he now doubted what kind of freak the Celestial Eagle Imperial City had found.

"I thought I had a clear understanding of Ye Yuan's talent, but now I realize that my understanding is just the tip of the iceberg! This kid, no surprise he gives you is unexpected!" Zheng Qi said with a bitter smile.
