Chapter 1985: Killing to Establish Authority

The entire venue fell silent, and Zuo Mo's side was even more terrified.

Ye Yuan's combat power far exceeded their imagination.

That sword strike just now might not be enough to deal with a True God Fifth Layer powerhouse, but it was absolutely sufficient to instantly kill a True God Fourth Layer.

Among them, who could be a match for Ye Yuan?

"This... Brother Ye, a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Feng Xiaotian said awkwardly.

"Yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"Brother Ye is magnanimous, don't bother with us."

...

Feng Xiaotian took the lead, and the others followed with apologies.

They were all scared out of their wits by Ye Yuan's sword strike; how could they still dare to oppose Ye Yuan?

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over the crowd and sneered, "A misunderstanding? Was your plan to kill Song Yu also a misunderstanding?"

Feng Xiaotian said awkwardly, "This... it was all Zuo Mo who couldn't stand Brother Ye and deliberately led us astray!"

Zuo Mo's expression changed, and he said angrily, "Feng Xiaotian, you!"

Feng Xiaotian sneered, "I told you long ago, don't oppose Brother Ye. His talent is something you can never match!"

Pfft!

Zuo Mo, enraged by Feng Xiaotian, spat out another mouthful of blood.

Ye Yuan found this amusing and said with a smile, "So that's how it is. Then kill Zuo Mo now, and I'll forgive you."

Feng Xiaotian was stunned at first, then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine!"

Zuo Mo's expression changed, and he said angrily, "Feng Xiaotian, you dare!"

Feng Xiaotian sneered, "Sorry, brother! Blame it on your offending Brother Ye."

Swish!

A sharp sword light arrived in an instant. Zuo Mo, severely injured, how could he block this fierce sword?

With just one sword strike, Zuo Mo was beheaded, dead beyond dead.

A peerless genius bearing the Imperial Mausoleum Qi had thus fallen.

Seeing this scene, Song Yu felt a surge of satisfaction.

When Zuo Mo had unleashed the Great Sun Blaze earlier, he had truly thought he was doomed.

Although Ye Yuan had saved him in the end, the despair of near death still ignited his anger.

He was somewhat puzzled as to why Ye Yuan didn't act himself but used someone else.

Given Ye Yuan's strength, even killing Feng Xiaotian would have been no trouble.

How could he know that Ye Yuan couldn't deliver a second sword at that moment?

Before returning, Ye Yuan had already swallowed several pills to restore his divine essence, and now he was frantically recovering his strength.

To be fair, the Azure Rainbow Battle Armor had the advantage of concealing his true state.

His divine essence was depleted, but others couldn't tell.

The reason he did this was merely to buy time.

But Song Yu was now completely loyal to Ye Yuan; though puzzled, he didn't voice it.

Having killed Zuo Mo with one sword, Feng Xiaotian put on a flattering smile and said, "I wonder if Brother Ye is satisfied?"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "You've shown sincerity. Let's drop the matter."

Feng Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Ye, this Emperor Bone can summon so many powerful bone demons. What should we do?"

Ye Yuan closed his eyes and said calmly, "Wait."

"Wait?" Feng Xiaotian was puzzled.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said, "We're probably not the only ones coveting this Emperor Bone. Wait for others to gather, and we'll charge together. As for who gets the Emperor Bone, that depends on each person's skill."

Feng Xiaotian naturally dared not object; he could only force a dry laugh and retreat to the side.

As Ye Yuan expected, over the next half month, many more people arrived at Bone Demon Ridge.

Song Yu was surprised to find that they weren't the only ones who had obtained opportunities.

Many had broken through to True God Fourth Layer.

Some had even reached the peak of True God Fourth Layer, just a step away from True God Fifth Layer.

Though some hadn't improved much in strength, they had likely obtained powerful treasures, otherwise they wouldn't dare set foot in Bone Demon Ridge.

This ancient battlefield left behind too many opportunities.

Of course, the original teams had now become scattered.

Needless to say, the weaker ones had probably been left forever in the Ancient God Battlefield.

Even Zuo Mo, with his Imperial Mausoleum Qi, had died; what about those with Imperial Extreme Qi?

After learning about the situation here, those powerhouses all halted.

At this moment, it was clearly time to band together.

Only by working together could they break through this bone demon army.

Of course, some thought this was an exaggeration and refused to believe it.

The result... naturally, they were torn to pieces by the terrifying bone demon army.

A month later, about fifty to sixty powerhouses had gathered here.

The strength of these fifty to sixty people was many times greater than when they were in the circle.

At this moment, a young man in a blue robe came to the center of the crowd and said loudly, "In my opinion, those who want to seize the Emperor Bone should be mostly here. With our strength, we should be able to break through the bone demon army. How about we all try together now?"

This young man in blue was the powerhouse at the peak of True God Fourth Layer, named Zhou Yu.

Originally, his strength was not outstanding among the geniuses.

But in just a few months, he had reached the pinnacle.

Zhou Yu's tone carried a hint of superiority, as if he had placed himself in the position of leader.

"Hey, you say go, and we go? I want to wait a few more days, can't I? Stop pretending here. Who do you think you are?" At this moment, a very disdainful voice sounded, completely disregarding Zhou Yu.

One sentence drew everyone's attention.

Here comes the drama!

The speaker was Li Xin, also a True God Fourth Layer.

He was clearly very displeased with Zhou Yu's attitude.

Zhou Yu heard this and smiled.

Whoosh!

His figure suddenly moved, at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, a sound of wind breaking whistled through.

Li Xin, daring to talk back, had clearly prepared and immediately raised his sword to meet the enemy.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out, and Li Xin's sword snapped with the sound.

And his head, like a watermelon, was smashed to pieces.

Everyone fell silent in fear.

"That staff is a Heavenly Lord Spiritual Treasure!"

"Not only that, his strength is also formidable!"

"It seems Zhou Yu's opportunity was really significant!"

...

Around, exclamations of surprise arose, all shocked by this fierce staff strike.

Li Xin's strength needed no elaboration; being a True God Fourth Layer said it all.

But he couldn't even withstand a single blow under Zhou Yu's staff!

Ye Yuan had been quietly watching this scene. Seeing this staff strike, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This Zhou Yu's strength was very strong!

Zhou Yu withdrew his staff and stood upright, saying calmly, "Anyone else have objections?"

Anyone else have objections?

Everyone stood up one after another and gathered together, clearly ready to charge through the bone demon army.

In fact, fewer and fewer people had arrived in recent days, and it was unlikely many more would come.

Waiting any longer would just be a waste of time.
