Chapter 2185: To Live or to Die

Only then did everyone realize what it meant that Ye Yuan had annihilated hundreds of Abyssal Beasts in half an hour!

Among those hundreds of Abyssal Beasts, many were at the Heavenly Sovereign level.

Judging from the earlier skirmish, even a first-level Heavenly Sovereign beast could hold its own against a second-level Heavenly Sovereign.

Cross-referencing this, what utterly inconceivable feat had Ye Yuan accomplished?

More importantly, it only took him an hour!

Those fourth-level Heavenly Sovereigns weighed the matter themselves: if they fought one-on-one, it would definitely be a protracted battle, taking a long time.

Just how strong was this kid?

Earlier, they hadn't paid attention to Lin Changqing's expression.

But now, they finally understood!

This kid must have seen something extraordinary.

"Changqing, what exactly did you see?" Zheng Yufeng pulled Lin Changqing aside and asked quietly.

Even after all this time, Lin Changqing was still in shock.

Before this, he hadn't known how strong Ye Yuan was.

But witnessing Ye Yuan slaughter these Abyssal Beasts, he finally realized that Ye Yuan and he were no longer in the same world!

"A slaughter! It was a complete slaughter! Those second-level Heavenly Sovereign Abyssal Beasts couldn't last a single round against him! He killed them with just one punch!" Lin Changqing said.

Ye Yuan could kill a second-level Heavenly Sovereign Abyssal Beast with one punch; killing him would obviously be a snap.

What kind of monster had he provoked!

No wonder Junior Sister Mengli had always kept her distance from him, no wonder she remained unmoved despite his excellence.

So she had such a monstrous lover!

With a husband like that, who else could catch her eye?

A genius?

That title was nothing but dogshit before Ye Yuan!

Zheng Yufeng's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "A slaughter? Doesn't that mean he's at least at the peak of third-level Heavenly Sovereign combat power?"

Lin Changqing shook his head and said, "I suspect it's even more than that!"

Hiss...

Everyone drew in a cold breath.

No wonder this guy was so arrogant; he truly had the capital to be arrogant!

At this moment, no one regarded Ye Yuan as a junior anymore.

To be able to annihilate so many Abyssal Beasts single-handedly—even Li Yue and the others, who were sixth-level Heavenly Sovereigns, would not find it so easy.

Li Yue's eyes flickered, and he said solemnly, "How can these monsters be so strong? It's completely unreasonable! No wonder none of the Heavenly Sovereign martial artists who entered here before ever returned!"

Zheng Yufeng nodded and said, "Brother Ye is right; we need to be extra cautious on the journey ahead. Once things become untenable, we must retreat immediately."

In fact, everyone was already having second thoughts.

But having gained nothing so far, they would have trouble explaining themselves when they returned to their respective factions, so they had to grit their teeth and continue.

However, to everyone's surprise, the subsequent journey was unusually calm, with no more Abyssal Beasts attacking them.

Yet precisely because of this, the unease in everyone's hearts grew stronger.

Li Yue's heart was pounding, and he asked Ye Yuan, "Kid, have you seen these monsters before?"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."

"What exactly are these monsters? And where did you see them?" Li Yue said.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "No comment."

"You!" Li Yue was choked and said angrily, "What are you so cocky about? Not only have you seen these monsters, but you can also absorb the demonic miasma! If you ask me, you're in league with the monsters!"

At these words, the Heavenly Sovereigns involuntarily distanced themselves from Ye Yuan.

Indeed, Li Yue's baseless suspicion aroused doubts in everyone's minds.

Ye Yuan was too strange!

Seeing that his words had isolated Ye Yuan, Li Yue felt a surge of pride.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan completely ignored him and walked straight ahead.

Li Yue was thoroughly enraged by Ye Yuan's dismissive action.

"Kid, I'm talking to you! Do you hear me?" Li Yue roared.

Ye Yuan still ignored him; little did Li Yue know that Ye Yuan had no interest in playing such games with him right now.

All his thoughts were focused on finding Li'er.

Ye Yuan did not let any clue around him slip by.

Unfortunately, so far, Ye Yuan had found nothing.

In a fit of rage, Li Yue's aura exploded, and he was about to attack Ye Yuan.

But just then, a black light flashed in the darkness!

Boom!

The spot where Ye Yuan stood was smashed into a large pit.

Everyone's expression changed, and they saw an Abyssal Beast standing where Ye Yuan had been.

And Ye Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be... that Ye Yuan had been killed just like that?

But they had no time to think further, because suddenly a large group of Abyssal Beasts burst out from their surroundings!

There were dozens of them!

And each one had a very powerful aura, all at the mid-stage Heavenly Sovereign level!

The faces of the Heavenly Sovereigns changed drastically.

They were surrounded!

A wave of despair spread among the Heavenly Sovereigns.

These were all mid-stage Heavenly Sovereign Abyssal Beasts; judging from their earlier encounters, these people had no chance of winning at all.

"Perfect timing. Let me ask you, have you seen this human woman?"

Suddenly, a figure flickered on the treetop, and Ye Yuan condensed an image of Yue Mengli with his divine essence.

But he directed this question, via a soul imprint, to the Abyssal Beast that had ambushed him earlier.

He had asked those Heavenly Sovereign-level Abyssal Beasts before, but they knew nothing.

Now, encountering these stronger Abyssal Beasts, Ye Yuan asked again.

"Hahaha... Human brat, why should I answer your question? Be a good boy and become my ear-food, and if I'm happy, I might tell you!" laughed the powerful existence at the sixth-level Heavenly Sovereign.

This Abyssal Beast had the strongest aura and was clearly the leader of this group.

A sixth-level Heavenly Sovereign could almost sweep through all the Heavenly Sovereigns present!

"This kid... he's not dead!" Li Yue exclaimed in surprise.

He knew how terrifying that attack was, and it was a sneak attack at that.

Even he wouldn't have absolute confidence in dodging it.

And Ye Yuan was completely unharmed!

Ye Yuan sighed, put away Li'er's image, and said indifferently, "Then... I'll have to beat it out of you!"

The Abyssal Beast leader laughed loudly, "Arrogant brat! Do you think you lowly humans can defeat us great Abyssal Beasts?"

Ye Yuan ignored him and shouted to Li Yue and the others, "Hey, do you want to live or die?"

Li Yue's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Nonsense! Of course we want to live! But what right do you have to say such things?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "If you want to live, don't resist and do as I say. If you want to die... then pretend I said nothing."
