Chapter 1831 You Can't Even Surrender

"You can try and see if they get a chance to surrender!"

These words struck like a heavy hammer on the hearts of the Shangqing Sect members.

If Ye Yuan had said such things last time, no one would have taken him seriously.

But now, he had the confidence to say such words!

Killing Li Yiping with a single move was not something just anyone could do.

Yang Shen narrowed his eyes, shooting out two cold glints.

This Ye Yuan was too arrogant!

Suddenly, Yang Shen's gaze fell on Bai Liqingyan, and he sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, this is your confidante, isn't it? Heh, do you think only you can kill people?"

Ye Yuan frowned, his expression darkening.

Ye Yuan didn't know exactly how strong Yang Shen was, but he would never underestimate his opponent.

Ye Yuan was confident, but he was never arrogant.

"If you want to kill me, you can try! Although our Shadowmoon Sect is not as strong as your Shangqing Sect, we still have some backbone!" Before Ye Yuan could speak, Bai Liqingyan had already spoken first.

Yi Qingxiang also said calmly, "At worst, it's death! Even if all three of us die, three lives for seven is still worth it!"

As soon as Yi Qingxiang finished speaking, Jiang Xueyan, rare for her, also supported Ye Yuan: "Your Shangqing Sect's face cannot be challenged; can our Shadowmoon Sect be trampled on at will?"

Ye Yuan looked at the three of them in surprise, not expecting them to be so supportive.

Were these the same people he knew?

Bai Liqingyan was fine; she had a pride in her bones that Ye Yuan could sense.

But Yi Qingxiang and Jiang Xueyan truly exceeded his expectations.

Hearing this, Yang Shen's expression turned extremely ugly.

He suddenly realized that the Shangqing Sect's aggressiveness had forced the Shadowmoon Sect to unite as one.

The four of them seemed ready to fight the Shangqing Sect to the death.

Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shen and said calmly, "Did you hear that? The dignity of my Shadowmoon Sect is also not to be challenged! Since you started the fight, you must be prepared for our counterattack! Let's go!"

With that, the Shadowmoon Sect members left directly.

Back at Shanglin Garden, Ye Yuan's expression was no longer as composed as before.

"Elder Xu, is Yang Shen very strong?" Ye Yuan asked.

Xu Yan sighed when Ye Yuan asked, "I thought you were blinded by anger and blindly arrogant!"

He knew the danger of provoking the Shangqing Sect like this, but he also didn't want to tarnish the Shadowmoon Sect's reputation, so he didn't stop it.

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The Shangqing Sect pushes too hard. We just moved into Shanglin Garden, and they act as if there's a deep-seated hatred, wanting to take lives. Senior Sister Jiang was lucky in the first round not to encounter Shangqing Sect members, but once she does later, they will certainly strike ruthlessly. As for Senior Sister Bai, Yang Shen probably won't let her off either. Even if I hadn't done this, they wouldn't have let us off easy."

Ye Yuan saw it very clearly; the Shangqing Sect was that domineering.

They considered their face more important than anything and wouldn't allow anyone to be above them.

The Shadowmoon Sect moving into Shanglin Garden touched their sensitive nerve.

They didn't give Yi Qingxiang a chance to surrender, directly dislocating his jaw—that said it all.

That was why Ye Yuan had murderous intent.

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Xu Yan frowned deeply.

Clearly, he hadn't thought as thoroughly as Ye Yuan.

"Yang Shen is known as the Shangqing Sect's greatest genius in a million years! His strength is formidable! But exactly how strong, no one outside the Shangqing Sect knows. Generally, the disparity in strength among disciples participating in the Huangling Martial Meet isn't too great. Of course, there are exceptions. You are one, and Yang Shen should be another!" Xu Yan said gravely.

Ye Yuan fell silent upon hearing this, and everyone else was quiet, watching him.

Xiaotong also looked at Ye Yuan curiously, wondering how he would resolve the current situation.

After a moment, Ye Yuan's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said, "Senior Sister Jiang, I will refine a Yurong Zixin Pill for you to help you break through to the second level of the Divine God Realm."

Jiang Xueyan's eyes lit up, and she was suddenly overjoyed.

She hadn't expected to receive a Yurong Zixin Pill herself.

In fact, when Yi Qingxiang got the pill, she had been quite envious.

But she knew she had left a bad impression on Ye Yuan, so she had given up hope.

Unexpectedly, under these circumstances, Ye Yuan was willing to refine it for her!

Xu Yan said, "That won't help! The second level of the Divine God Realm is still no match for him."

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Of course I know that. So from today on, I will refine pills for you to enhance your strength as much as possible; on the other hand, you will undergo special training from me. And the goal is for you to surrender before I kill you!"

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Ye Yuan to come up with such a plan.

By saying this, Ye Yuan was implying that he believed his strength was close to Yang Shen's.

Or even stronger!

But was that possible?

Both at the peak of the second level of the Divine God Realm, Yang Shen's strength far surpassed Shen Tianlin's, indicating that his law comprehension must be extremely strong, far beyond his peers.

"Hehe, boy, you're gambling with their lives!" Xiaotong said with a sneer.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Whether it's a gamble, you'll find out soon enough."

...

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed. In the eighth round, Ye Yuan finally encountered another Shangqing Sect disciple.

This time, it was Peng Huan, ranked sixth.

His strength was only at the early stage of the second level of the Divine God Realm, much weaker than Li Yiping, and naturally no match for Ye Yuan.

With Li Yiping's precedent, Peng Huan naturally chose to surrender directly.

So, as soon as Du Rufeng announced the start of the match, Peng Huan immediately spoke up.

"I..."

Unfortunately, only one word came out of his mouth before his eyes began to glaze over, and he could no longer speak.

Ye Yuan's sword was too fast!

Below the stage, there were sounds of gasps.

Too strong!

If last time he succeeded against Li Yiping because the latter was unprepared, this time it was a complete display of strength!

"You can't even surrender, and you still call yourselves the number one sect?"

Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shen, his words full of disdain.

Yang Shen glared at Ye Yuan and roared, "Ye Yuan, you forced my hand!"

Ye Yuan ignored him and drifted away.

In the seventeenth round, Ye Yuan again killed Wu Min, ranked seventh of the Shangqing Sect, with one sword stroke.

In the twenty-fifth round, Ye Yuan faced Bian Ziqiu and also killed him with one sword stroke!

Halfway through the tournament, four Shangqing Sect disciples had died under Ye Yuan's sword.

Each of them had wanted to surrender immediately, but none had managed to do so.

Ye Yuan's sword was much faster than their speech.

The Shangqing Sect elder and Yang Shen were nearly going mad.
