Chapter 2229: Alright, I'll Give You Face!

With the death of the Nine Entropies, Ye Yuan's mind was at peace, his thoughts unimpeded, and his strength reached a new level.

Now, he was comparable to a Fifth Heaven Heavenly Exalt.

With his physical strength, Ye Yuan could easily contend with a Seventh Heaven Heavenly Exalt.

And he hadn't even used any martial techniques.

"Chi Jue, what are you dawdling for? A mere human brat, and you still haven't dealt with him?"

"Haha, I told you, you corpses are just a mass of brute flesh, utterly useless!"

"Not entirely useless—at least they can serve as meat shields!"

At that moment, three more figures arrived, surrounding Ye Yuan in the middle.

These three were all great experts at the late stage of Heavenly Exalt!

Chi Jue Heavenly Exalt snorted coldly, "You three, stop gloating! This brat has achieved Perfect Seventh Revolution, and his physical strength is no less than mine! Moreover, he is a Seven-Star Array God, not to be underestimated!"

The other three showed expressions of shock, looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.

These three Ghost Dao Heavenly Exalts were Gui Qi, Si Chen, and Chi Yun.

Like Chi Jue Heavenly Exalt, they were four late-stage Heavenly Exalt generals under Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor.

"Perfect Seventh Revolution! Heh, looks like Old Chi has met his match this time! But Perfect Seventh Revolution is useless against my Ghost Dao Hundred Seals!" sneered a Chi Yun Heavenly Exalt.

Ye Yuan looked at the four Heavenly Exalts and said calmly, "It seems I have to beat you all down before you learn to fear!"

In the past, Ye Yuan would have needed to be cautious and use schemes to rescue Kuang Dao Ghost Exalt.

But now, his strength no longer required concealment; he could simply storm in directly, clean and efficient.

The Senluo Ghost Domain was a lawless place, where the weak were prey to the strong.

So Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered to follow their rules; he would just beat them into submission.

Of course, out of respect for the Heavenly Emperor, he wouldn't kill them.

Otherwise, he might be fine, but Kuang Dao Ghost Exalt would surely die.

"Heh, what big talk from a brat! I'll claim your blood first! Brothers, let's go together!"

Si Chen Heavenly Exalt sneered, already forming hand seals.

"Ghost Dao Hundred Seals: Ten Thousand Ghosts Devour Heart!"

Suddenly, the shrill screams of countless vengeful spirits erupted, tearing at the heart.

The ghosts shrieked and lunged at Ye Yuan, biting and tearing.

"Ghost Dao Hundred Seals: Cang Ming Ghost Hand!"

Chi Yun Heavenly Exalt roared, and a massive ghostly palm descended from the sky, smashing toward Ye Yuan.

"Ghost Dao Hundred Seals: Layers of Ghost Shadows!"

Gui Qi Heavenly Exalt let out a strange cry, and countless dark shadows extended from the ground, winding toward Ye Yuan.

These three ghost seals were all Heavenly Exalt-level ultimate techniques, immensely powerful.

One attacked the mind, one engaged in frontal assault, one restrained, and with Chi Jue as the meat shield, the four Heavenly Exalts' attack was flawless!

"Haha, brat, die!" Si Chen Heavenly Exalt shrieked.

Facing the overwhelming ghost shadows, Ye Yuan merely uttered a single word!

"Freeze!"

The air instantly solidified!

The amusement in the four Heavenly Exalts' eyes vanished, replaced by terror.

They couldn't move!

The binding of the Heavenly Dao froze everything.

All techniques, all ghost shadows, were frozen solid.

"True·Sword Sky Engraving!"

Ye Yuan swung his bone sword, and four sword beams shot out instantly.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four figures flew backward in four directions!

The three Ghost Dao Heavenly Exalts were cleaved in half, but soon their bodies rejoined, though much dimmer.

As for Chi Jue, a large gash was opened in his chest, shocking to behold.

One move defeated four Exalts!

The four Heavenly Exalts stared at Ye Yuan in terror, their eyes filled with shock.

"Heavenly Dao True Word, controlling time and space! This... this..." Si Chen stammered in fear.

Ye Yuan stood with his sword behind his back, saying calmly, "This was just a warning. Push me again, and next time you won't be able to recover!"

Ye Yuan had held back with this strike.

Otherwise, how could they have repaired themselves?

After all, back in the Black Flame Cave, Ye Yuan had single-handedly slain hundreds of Heavenly Exalts!

Now that he had broken through to the mid-stage of Chaos Realm, how could he care about a few who hadn't even reached the Eighth Heaven of Heavenly Exalt?

The four Heavenly Exalts' faces were extremely ugly; only then did they realize what kind of monster they were facing!

Suddenly, Ye Yuan looked up at the sky and said calmly, "You've been watching for so long. Isn't it time to show yourself? Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor!"

A figure slowly emerged from the void, looking at Ye Yuan with surprise in his eyes.

The newcomer's aura was ethereal and elusive, unmistakably a Heavenly Emperor!

Who else could this Heavenly Emperor be but Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor?

Ye Yuan had stormed in, causing such a commotion; as a Heavenly Emperor, he naturally couldn't have failed to notice.

But he had thought the Heavenly Exalts could handle Ye Yuan, only to see the four Heavenly Exalts defeated with a single strike.

That scene had utterly stunned him.

Ye Yuan could actually control time and space, freezing them!

Although he hadn't been caught in it, he could feel that the binding power of the Heavenly Dao True Word was extremely strong—even he would find it hard to escape!

Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor looked at Ye Yuan, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

"Young man, this Emperor seems not to have provoked you. Why have you come to my Yinhuai Prefecture to cause such a ruckus?" Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor used anger to suppress his wariness.

Ye Yuan, however, was unconcerned and said calmly, "I only came to take Kuang Dao Ghost Exalt away, but no one was willing to talk properly."

Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. You swagger in demanding someone, and who could talk properly with you?

Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor said coldly, "If I let you take him away with just a word, wouldn't this Emperor lose face?"

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll give you face!"

With that, Ye Yuan cupped his hands toward Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor and said calmly, "Please, Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor, be merciful and release Kuang Dao Ghost Exalt!"

He said 'please,' but his tone carried no hint of pleading.

You give it, or you don't.

But you must give it!

All the Heavenly Exalts looked at each other in bewilderment. This human brat was truly domineering and arrogant!

Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor's face turned green with anger, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you really think this Emperor dares not do anything to you?"

Ye Yuan replied calmly, "If I leave, you can't stop me; if I want to kill, you can't block me! If you don't believe me, try it!"

Then he cupped his hands again and said, "Please, Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor, be merciful and release Kuang Dao Ghost Exalt!"

With time freeze and spatial laws, Ye Yuan could easily escape from a First Heaven Heavenly Emperor.

But to block Ye Yuan's assassination, these Heavenly Exalts would have to hide in Yinhuai Prefecture every day!

Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor gnashed his teeth, wishing he could slap this fellow to death.

But he truly didn't dare to try!

Kuang Dao Ghost Exalt was merely a minor figure, insignificant.

The Heavenly Exalts around him were not comparable to a single Kuang Dao Ghost Exalt.

If they all died, wouldn't he become a commander without an army?

Even for a Heavenly Emperor, it wasn't easy to recruit so many Heavenly Exalts.

Heavenly Exalts were also great powers in their own right; how could they easily become someone else's subordinate?
