Chapter 1627: One Against Five

In ordinary times, Zheng Qi would naturally be no match for Gaoyuan.

But Gaoyuan was now heavily injured and greatly weakened, giving Zheng Qi a fighting chance.

Zheng Qi struck with fury, every move aimed at vital points.

Gaoyuan was no longer a match for Zheng Qi and was forced back step by step.

Seeing this, Tianxing shouted, “Kill Ye Yuan!”

Neither side could hold back any longer, and they all clashed in battle.

Although the demon race and Zhining Imperial City had the advantage in numbers, Tianying Imperial City had the edge of being nearly unscathed.

Now at full strength, dealing with the remnants was naturally no problem.

With over a dozen from Tianying Imperial City and the large numbers from Jiangyong Imperial City, the two sides were evenly matched.

However, Ye Yuan’s side was still outnumbered, leaving five Divine Lord First Heaven experts unengaged.

These five surrounded Ye Yuan, looking at him as if he were already dead.

“Yuan Ye, last time the Blood Hell Hall protected you, and I could do nothing. But today, you will die!” the foremost one said coldly.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and asked doubtfully, “Do I know you?”

The man said coldly, “You don’t know me, but you killed my most prized prince! Today, we settle this account!”

Hearing this, Ye Yuan suddenly understood.

So this guy was Kasin’s father, the lord of Kapeng King City, Kalong!

“Heh, my life is right here. If you have the skill, take it,” Ye Yuan said calmly.

Now, Gaoyuan and Tianxing, two against one, barely managed to hold their own against Zheng Qi.

Gaoyuan glanced over and was overjoyed.

Five Divine Lord First Heaven experts against one Return to Void cultivator—even if he understood space law, he was doomed!

“Haha, that arrogant brat is about to die. Aren’t you going to save him? Oh, right, you can’t, hahaha…” Gaoyuan laughed loudly.

Zheng Qi sneered, “Ye Yuan doesn’t need me to save him!”

Gaoyuan laughed, “Hahaha, doesn’t need you to save him? Then who will save him? Heaven? Hahaha…”

Zheng Qi sneered, “You’d better worry about yourself!”

Though the numbers were large, Zheng Qi felt numbers weren’t the issue.

Since Ye Yuan could slay a fourth-tier beast, numbers weren’t the decisive factor.

Gaoyuan felt like he had punched cotton, utterly frustrated.

“Boy, I’ll take your life now!”

Kalong gave a grim smile, raised his hand, and punched toward Ye Yuan.

This punch carried the power of the world, extremely formidable.

An ordinary Return to Void cultivator would have no chance of surviving this punch.

Unfortunately, Ye Yuan was no ordinary Return to Void cultivator.

Ye Yuan activated his space law and easily dodged the punch.

The other four, knowing Ye Yuan understood space law, immediately blocked all his escape routes and charged at him.

Five Divine Lord First Heaven experts, with their raging world power, reverberated through the space.

However, Ye Yuan had no intention of fleeing.

Junyi Sword emerged, and sword energy swept across!

“Boom!”

Suddenly, Ye Yuan’s aura surged. One of the four, caught off guard, was sent flying by Ye Yuan’s strike.

Kalong and the other three felt a chill, stunned by what they saw.

What had they just witnessed?

A Return to Void cultivator sending a Divine Lord flying with a single sword strike?

This joke was not funny at all!

But Ye Yuan gave them no time to be shocked. Another sword strike came, aimed at Kalong.

A fierce sword aura rushed toward him. Kalong’s expression changed drastically as he focused all his attention on defense.

“Boom!”

World power and sword energy clashed, evenly matched!

Kalong’s heart shook violently. He roared, “Everyone, don’t underestimate him! This boy… this boy has the strength to kill a Demon Lord First Heaven!”

His shout reached everyone’s ears.

Except for those from Tianying Imperial City and Gu Han, everyone else was shocked.

Zheng Qi sneered, “See? Ye Yuan doesn’t need Heaven to save him. He can save himself!”

Gaoyuan’s eyes nearly popped out. His shock was beyond measure.

How could a Return to Void cultivator defeat a Demon Lord First Heaven?

No!

That demon lord said Ye Yuan had the strength to kill a Demon Lord First Heaven, not just defeat!

Gaoyuan keenly caught the detail in Kalong’s words, and his shock deepened.

“Kill him! Are five fourth-tier experts unable to handle a single Return to Void cultivator?” Gaoyuan roared.

Kalong’s face darkened, displeased with Gaoyuan’s words.

A human daring to order him around.

But now was not the time to argue. The priority was to kill Ye Yuan!

“Everyone, be careful. Steady and methodical—don’t give him any openings!” Kalong, experienced, quickly communicated with the other four and changed tactics.

The five surrounded Ye Yuan, no longer reckless, opting for a prolonged battle.

However, how could Ye Yuan be led by the nose?

His figure flickered unpredictably, darting left and right, forcing the five to scramble.

Ye Yuan’s Ethereal Sword Art was sharp yet elusive, causing great trouble for the five.

Fortunately, all five were veteran fourth-tier experts, two of whom had been suppressed from Divine Lord Third Heaven, barely managing to hold on.

Ye Yuan, one against five, firmly held the upper hand.

Gaoyuan, Tianxing, Dean, and the others were deeply shaken. They had never expected the battle to turn out this way.

According to their plan, killing Ye Yuan would end the fight, allowing everyone to search for treasures in peace.

But now, the two sides were deadlocked!

“Pfft!”

Suddenly, blood splattered!

A moment of carelessness—the Divine Lord cultivator previously wounded by Ye Yuan was pierced through by Ye Yuan’s sword, dead beyond dead.

Kalong and the others felt their scalps tingle at the sight.

Five against one, not only had they failed to trap a Return to Void cultivator, but one of them had been killed!

This result was utterly baffling.

Gaoyuan and the others were also shaken to the core.

They all realized that Ye Yuan was not just a minor player in their group but held his own status.

With his cultivation suppressed, Ye Yuan could fight one against five—this combat strength earned him a certain right to speak!

“Bang!”

Gaoyuan pushed Zheng Qi back and said coldly, “Stop! No more fighting!”

Tianxing and Dean also called off the demon experts, finally ending the fierce battle.

Zheng Qi sneered, “You start a fight when you want, and stop when you want. What do you take us for?”

Gaoyuan’s face darkened. “We’ve already suffered heavy losses. If we keep fighting, no one will get the treasure! I admit I underestimated that brat! For now, let’s set aside our differences. Once we find the treasure, we can fight to the death then.”
