Chapter 2097: What Are You So Happy About?

Haofeng, Tianjue, and the others were all bewildered. Was this Divine Scorpion Heavenly Venerate really the same Divine Scorpion they knew?

This Divine Scorpion Heavenly Venerate was someone who submitted to no one.

Yet now he was being obsequious to Ye Yuan. They could hardly believe their eyes.

“Ye Yuan, I’ve lost today! I only ask that, for the sake of our shared humanity, you let us leave!” Haofeng Heavenly Venerate gritted his teeth.

Though he relented, a flash of venomous resentment flickered in Haofeng Heavenly Venerate’s eyes.

The other human heavenly venerates also sighed in disbelief. The once-arrogant Haofeng Heavenly Venerate had actually bowed his head to a True God realm cultivator.

They all knew how proud Haofeng Heavenly Venerate was.

A man like that, with ambitions higher than the sky, how could he ever admit defeat?

Ye Yuan looked at Haofeng and said with a faint smile, “Of course. I am not one to kill indiscriminately. Everyone else may leave, but you and Ruofeng Heavenly Venerate will have to stay here forever.”

Haofeng Heavenly Venerate’s expression changed drastically. He looked at Ye Yuan in shock and fury, roaring, “You… despicable!”

Ye Yuan laughed derisively. “Despicable? Hah, I warned you before and gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Since my identity has already been exposed, did you think I would wait for you to come seek revenge?”

Ye Yuan and Lü’er’s identities were no longer a secret. With a little inquiry, Haofeng Heavenly Venerate could learn that he came from Tianying Imperial City.

Being constantly watched by a powerful Seventh Heaven Heavenly Venerate, even with extraordinary abilities, Ye Yuan would find it hard to guard against every threat.

Ye Yuan was not one to kill indiscriminately. The enmity between him and Haofeng was personal; he did not want to involve others.

After all, these were all human experts. If they all died here, the entire Extreme North would likely be plunged into chaos.

Ye Yuan could not bring himself to do such a thing.

He looked around and said coldly, “Today’s matter is a personal grudge between me and Haofeng! Anyone who doesn’t want to die, get the hell out of here now!”

The heavenly venerates exchanged glances. Haofeng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “Don’t be fooled by this kid’s divisive tactics! He’s clearly defected to the demon race, trying to split and destroy us humans of the Extreme North!”

“Haha, Haofeng, are you insulting our intelligence? You want to drag us down with you? No way! I came here only reluctantly. Feng Tianyang’s death is good for all of us. Now that someone is taking care of you, we couldn’t be happier!” Mieyu Heavenly Venerate laughed loudly.

“Haofeng, you’ve been throwing your weight around in the Extreme North for years, but your time is up! I, Zhenhuang, won’t keep you company.” With that, Zhenhuang Heavenly Venerate stepped into the void and vanished.

With these two taking the lead, the other heavenly venerates also left one after another.

Tianjue Heavenly Venerate and the others had never been convinced by Haofeng. If he hadn’t broken through to the Seventh Heaven and forced them to come, they would never have gotten involved.

Now that someone was dealing with Haofeng, they were only too happy.

This showed that Haofeng ruled the humans of the Extreme North by force alone; few truly followed him.

Watching the heavenly venerates leave, Haofeng Heavenly Venerate was nearly in despair.

Ye Yuan looked at him with a half-smile. “It seems you’re not very popular. Not a single one stayed. Looks like you’ve never won people’s hearts in the Extreme North.”

Haofeng Heavenly Venerate stared at Ye Yuan, gnashing his teeth, and roared, “Damned little beast! Even if I die today, I’ll slaughter you!”

No one had expected Haofeng Heavenly Venerate to suddenly erupt.

The fury of a Heavenly Venerate was terrifying. Even Liefeng Heavenly Venerate didn’t react in time.

But as a powerhouse of the same rank as Haofeng Heavenly Venerate, even if a step behind, he quickly caught up.

He threw a punch with overwhelming momentum.

However, Haofeng Heavenly Venerate did not dodge the punch; instead, he struck with all his might toward Ye Yuan.

Suddenly, overwhelming energy fluctuations surged madly toward Ye Yuan.

Boom!

A loud crash rang out, and Haofeng Heavenly Venerate’s body flew back like a kite with a broken string.

But his palm strike had already been unleashed.

Though it was a hastily delivered palm strike, the force of a Seventh Heaven Heavenly Venerate was immense.

Even a casual palm strike could effortlessly annihilate a True God realm martial artist.

Seeing Haofeng Heavenly Venerate take his punch head-on, Liefeng Heavenly Venerate’s scalp tingled.

If the Demi-Saint died here, the Saint Ancestor High Priest would surely be furious, wouldn’t he?

“Demi-Saint, be careful!”

Liefeng Heavenly Venerate only had time to shout, and the palm strike had already arrived.

Boom!

Where Ye Yuan stood, space shattered, spiritual energy scattered, and a blinding light made it impossible to keep eyes open.

When the light faded, Ye Yuan was no longer there.

All the demon experts felt a chill. Had the Demi-Saint been killed under their heavy guard?

This… this was a disaster!

If the Saint Ancestor High Priest became enraged, the Extreme North Plains would be left barren!

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I’ll kill you!”

Liefeng Heavenly Venerate roared at Haofeng Heavenly Venerate and threw a punch.

Boom!

Having already taken Liefeng’s punch, Haofeng Heavenly Venerate was severely injured. How could he still be a match for Liefeng?

He took this punch head-on as well.

But there was no dejection on his face. Instead, he laughed heartily. “Haha… cough… hahaha! What kind of Demi-Saint is that? Didn’t he still die by my hand? Tianyang, your father has… cough… avenged you!”

Haofeng Heavenly Venerate coughed up blood as he laughed with abandon.

Liefeng Heavenly Venerate’s hair stood on end with rage, but against Haofeng, who had already embraced death, his anger was useless.

A moment of carelessness had cost the Demi-Saint his life. He was inexcusable!

“What are you so happy about?” Just then, a faint voice sounded in everyone’s ears, cutting Haofeng Heavenly Venerate’s laughter short.

A young, handsome figure stepped out slowly. Who else could it be but Ye Yuan?

Liefeng Heavenly Venerate’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Demi-Saint, you… you’re not dead?”

The other demon heavenly venerates were also shocked. That palm strike, though not strong, was enough to instantly kill an early-stage Heavenly Venerate.

Yet Ye Yuan was completely unharmed!

“This… how is this possible? My palm strike clearly hit you!” Haofeng Heavenly Venerate was stunned, his face full of shock.

Ye Yuan shook his head slightly. “It seems you don’t know that Guhong and the others’ spatial binding technique was personally arranged by me. With my mastery of spatial laws, even without Liefeng and the others, killing me wouldn’t be easy for you, let alone a sneak attack while they were distracted. Such an attack would indeed be fatal to other True God realm cultivators, but I set up dozens of spatial nodes around here. With a thought, I can teleport away. You think killing me is that easy?”

“This… this…” Haofeng Heavenly Venerate stared at Ye Yuan, his face ashen.

The palm strike he had risked his life for hadn’t even grazed Ye Yuan’s hair!
