Chapter 1999: The Untouchable

Though this was on a bustling street, the entire city was utterly silent, with only this melodious voice echoing.

Lü Ziyi walked over lightly, as if a celestial maiden descending to the mortal world.

Her appearance made all beings fall for her.

But in Ye Yuan's eyes at this moment, she was a skeleton.

A pink skeleton!

She was ruthless, she was cold, she looked down on all living beings.

In her eyes, she herself was the heavens, allowing no defiance.

"Sir, run! If you don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

"Sir, my name is Jiang Ming!"

…

Jiang Ming had only spoken a few words to Ye Yuan, and they still echoed in his ears.

It was also the first time Ye Yuan had seen this young Divine Lord realm martial artist, and he could see admiration for himself in the other's eyes.

He was innocent.

Yet, this woman had killed him right before his eyes!

Unforgivable!

A chilling murderous intent instantly swept across the entire street.

On the street, it was as if the temperature had suddenly dropped a few degrees.

Lü Ziyi looked at Ye Yuan expressionlessly, and said with a pitying gaze, "Are you angry over an untouchable? How pathetic! Likewise, it shows your incompetence! You couldn't save him, and you can't save yourself either."

It wasn't that Ye Yuan didn't want to save him, but the timing of that sword strike was too perfectly executed.

Worried about Bai Guang and the others, he had moved with full force. But just as his body shifted, the sword came from another direction, and he simply couldn't turn back in time to save him.

Even if he understood the laws of space, it was too late!

Ye Yuan's eyes were icy cold as he demanded, "In your eyes, is human life like grass? You came for me, why did you strike at an unrelated person!"

Lü Ziyi said calmly, "Just an untouchable, killed is killed. What can you do to me? Besides, he was not unrelated; he was tipping you off. Those who tip off rebels share the same crime as rebels!"

Beside her, Deng Wei chuckled, "What a fool. Clearly so weak, yet he wastes his sympathy on such an untouchable. I don't know how he cultivated to this level."

Dai Yang also laughed, "This kid's cultivation speed is quite fast. According to our information, he might have broken through to the True God realm, but I didn't expect he's already at True God Third Heaven. But... still too weak!"

Lü Ziyi said indifferently, "A tree without roots, duckweed without water. No matter how high the realm, it's futile."

The three of them spoke in turn, making the martial artists of Tianying feel extremely uncomfortable.

In the eyes of these favored sons of heaven, people like them were utterly insignificant.

One more, one less—it didn't matter at all to these favored sons.

Of course, this was the case throughout the entire Tongtian Realm.

But after experiencing Ye Yuan's governance, they felt this was a pure land.

Ye Yuan was different from these lofty favored sons of heaven!

He would burn with rage for an unrelated subject.

This warmth was something they had never felt before.

Ye Yuan looked at Lü Ziyi, his face stern, and said, "All three of you, 'untouchable' this, 'untouchable' that. Do you really think you're the cream of the crop? In my eyes, you are the real untouchables!"

His words were full of mockery.

Lü Ziyi remained calm, not angered, and said lightly, "Sharp tongue? Your ridiculous dignity is worthless. Fine, I'll give you a chance. If you can defeat any one of us three, I'll take my men and leave."

The Five Emperors didn't actually know much about Ye Yuan.

They had received a secret report that Ye Yuan was building up his forces in the Ten Cities of Lingnan, which drew their attention to this remote region.

After a brief investigation, they found the situation in the Ten Cities of Lingnan somewhat unusual.

Thus, this operation was launched.

The reason they sent such a strong lineup was that they knew a True God Fourth Heaven expert had once appeared here.

As for Ye Yuan, they hadn't taken him seriously at all.

However, Ye Yuan's appearance did surprise the three of them.

Logically, Ye Yuan should have just broken through to the True God realm, but unexpectedly he was already at True God Third Heaven.

But even at True God Third Heaven, Lü Ziyi still didn't take him seriously.

The mid-stage of the True God realm and the mid-stage of the True God realm were not on the same level.

Ye Yuan's gaze was cold as he said, "No need. Today, none of you will leave! In your eyes, Jiang Ming was an untouchable. But in my eyes, he is ten thousand times nobler than you. So, use your blood to honor Jiang Ming!"

Deng Wei laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Nonsense! You actually compare that untouchable to us. Are you trying to anger us? Well, you've succeeded."

With that, he stepped forward slowly, his aura growing stronger until it peaked.

True God Fifth Heaven!

The martial artists in the city, seeing this display, changed color and couldn't help worrying for Ye Yuan.

They knew that at the True God realm, each minor realm was vastly different, and there was a whole minor realm gap between Ye Yuan and Deng Wei!

He looked at Ye Yuan with pity and said, "Originally, I planned to escort all of you to the Great Capital. Now it seems there's no need."

On Deng Wei's body, two types of law power merged seamlessly, raising his aura another level.

Terrifying spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged madly.

"So strong! This is the fusion of wind and thunder law power, and both laws have been cultivated to the mid-sixth stage."

"Truly a genius from the Great Capital, so powerful!"

"Lord Ye Yuan is in trouble. Although he also has law fusion, the realm gap is too big!"

…

The martial artists in the city couldn't help worrying for Ye Yuan.

At the True God realm, cross-tier battles became increasingly difficult.

Moreover, geniuses like Deng Wei were already invincible at the same level.

"You hick will never understand the gap between yourself and a true genius. If you can survive this Wind-Thunder True Yi Palm without dying, I might consider sparing your life!"

Deng Wei's gaze turned cold, and he struck out with a palm straight at Ye Yuan.

But to everyone's astonishment, Ye Yuan didn't move at all.

Yes, there was no fluctuation of law power on Ye Yuan's body, nor did he gather any spiritual energy.

He... actually stood there letting the other strike!

Everyone was shocked!

Facing an expert two minor realms higher, he just stood there motionless?

Everyone's hearts were in their throats as they looked at Ye Yuan with concern.

Lü Ziyi only sneered coldly, "Foolish!"

The palm strike arrived in an instant, hitting Ye Yuan solidly, erupting in intense light.

Everyone looked at this scene in confusion, wondering why Ye Yuan would do this.

Deng Wei looked contemptuously at the light, sneering, "Foolish thing, do you think you're an invincible cockroach?"

But soon, the light dissipated, and a figure stood proudly there, unmoving.
