Chapter 2277: Let Me Explain Myself

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, the Rain Swift Heavenly Emperor couple were both shocked.

Fighting to this extent, did Ye Yuan still have a card up his sleeve?

As if confirming their thoughts, over a dozen sword beams flew from Ye Yuan's hand, instantly replacing the same number of flying swords in the sword formation.

These dozen or so flying swords were precisely the twelve Heavenly Emperor Spirit Treasures looted from the divine race!

The Rain Swift Heavenly Emperor couple's minds trembled violently!

With a single move, he produced twelve Heavenly Emperor Spirit Treasures—this kid was truly wealthy and generous.

In the entire Tongtian Realm, there were not many people who could be so bold.

Yet Ye Yuan was only at the Heavenly Sovereign Realm!

With the addition of the twelve Heavenly Emperor Spirit Treasures, the power of the sword formation immediately soared.

Heavenly Emperor Spirit Treasures were no ordinary goods; their power was countless times stronger than Heavenly Sovereign Spirit Treasures.

These twelve flying swords as the formation's eyes could greatly enhance the sword formation's power!

Soon, the Rain Swift Heavenly Emperor couple could barely hold on, their defensive circle rapidly shrinking.

Rain Swift Heavenly Emperor's mind shook violently, and he quickly exclaimed, “This fellow Daoist, it's all a misunderstanding! All a misunderstanding! My wife and I are subordinates of Sword Chen Heavenly Emperor, the administrators of the Tongtian Mountain passage. Perhaps you haven't heard of Sword Chen Heavenly Emperor, but he is a supreme expert at the Four Declensions of Celestial Being! This matter is entirely our fault; it was our negligence in discipline that gave rise to such a rebellious son as Tang Yucheng! You did well to kill him; we have nothing to say! Please, fellow Daoist, show mercy and let us leave.”

Before Rain Swift Heavenly Emperor's words had even faded, they heard the roar of Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor from the other side.

“Tang Xunyu, you coward! The enmity of killing one's son is irreconcilable, yet you bow your head to the enemy! If you want to leave, go ahead; I'll fight him to the death!”

Then, turning to Ye Yuan, she shrieked, “Kid, if you have the guts, kill me! Killing an administrator without authorization, Sword Chen Heavenly Emperor won't let you off! Come on, kill me!”

At this moment, Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor was nothing short of a madwoman.

She knew she was no match for Ye Yuan and wanted to force the higher-ups to act by dying.

The Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor's face changed drastically, and he was about to defend himself when he heard Ye Yuan say indifferently, "Is that so? Then as you wish!"

"Freeze!"

The Heavenly Dao's true words were uttered directly, firmly immobilizing the Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor.

Then, hundreds of flying swords transformed into countless sword beams, shuttling through the air, slicing the Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor into countless pieces.

The Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor's mind shook violently; he hadn't expected Ye Yuan to possess such heaven-defying means.

The sword formation combined with the Heavenly Dao's true words—killing a Heavenly Emperor was like killing a dog!

"Da... Daoist friend, this woman has gone mad. Don't stoop to her level. That rebellious son and she provoked you, they brought death upon themselves. But my status is different; you cannot kill me!"

The Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor was truly afraid!

The strength Ye Yuan had displayed made his heart pound with terror.

At this moment, Ye Yuan could control all the flying swords to arrange the sword formation, and with his own strength, he absolutely could not withstand it.

He now wished he could piece Tang Yucheng back together and cut him again—what kind of existence had this brat provoked!

But Ye Yuan smiled brightly and said, "Truly father and son, the methods you use are exactly the same. If I let you leave, you'll probably go fetch reinforcements, right? Your subordinate already sent a transmission talisman just now, so... are you stalling for time?"

The Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor was shocked; he hadn't expected Ye Yuan to have time to observe his subordinate while controlling so many flying swords!

"Misunderstanding, it's truly a misunderstanding! That was all my subordinate's own initiative. When Lord Xinyu arrives, I will explain to him!" the Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor argued.

"No need, I'll explain to him myself! Just as well, I can ask him for Old Drunkard's soul imprint back."

Ye Yuan spoke calmly, but his divine sense suddenly manipulated the flying swords, sweeping them toward the Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor.

The complete sword formation converged, and its power instantly surged.

The Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor exhausted all his skills but still could not withstand Ye Yuan's attack.

"Ah, you brat! If you kill me, you'll die too! Lord Xinyu will never forgive you!"

Amid the screams, Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor was also chopped into countless pieces.

In the blink of an eye, two great Heavenly Emperors had fallen.

Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor's subordinates stood in stunned silence.

"Two Heavenly Emperors! Just... just died like that?" Old Drunkard muttered to himself, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.

A Heavenly Emperor is invincible!

That was the conviction in everyone's heart.

But today, Ye Yuan, with his overwhelmingly powerful strength, shattered that conviction.

With a wave of his hand, he slew two Heavenly Emperors in succession and suppressed all around!

This young man was too powerful!

Ye Yuan looked at Old Drunkard and said with a faint smile, "A Heavenly Emperor is also human. Humans die. What's so strange about that?"

Old Drunkard's face twisted with disbelief. "But... but that's a Heavenly Emperor!"

Ye Yuan chuckled. "You'll get used to it. The great era is coming. Ordinary Heavenly Emperors are just cannon fodder."

As he spoke, an even more terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

A figure stepped out from the void, his gaze cold as he looked at Ye Yuan.

"Lord Xinyu is here! This kid is doomed!"

"Lord Xinyu, this kid killed Lord Swift Rain and Lord Fengwu! His crimes are monstrous!"

...

Xinyu Heavenly Emperor frowned at Ye Yuan, shocked. "A Revered Master killed two Heavenly Emperors?"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "That's right. I killed them. You must be one of Jianchen Heavenly Emperor's subordinates?"

This Xinyu Heavenly Emperor was extremely powerful, a Third Heaven Heavenly Emperor.

However, Ye Yuan did not take him seriously.

He had seen far too many experts of this level.

Seeing Ye Yuan's attitude, Xinyu Heavenly Emperor was displeased and said sternly, "So what if I am? Do you intend to give me an explanation for today's events?"

Ye Yuan slowly took out a token, and an aura of the Great Dao suddenly bloomed.

"Is this explanation enough?" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Seeing the token, Xinyu Heavenly Emperor's mind shook, and he exclaimed, "The token of the Priest Temple! You... you are the Archsage of the Priest Temple!"

Ye Yuan put away the token and said calmly, "Indeed, it is I, Ye."

Xinyu Heavenly Emperor snapped out of his shock and said sternly, "Even if you are the Archsage, if you don't give an explanation for today's events, it's still unacceptable!"

Ye Yuan shrugged and briefly recounted the whole story. "Is this explanation satisfactory? These two came to kill me. They were not strong enough and I killed them. That's all."

Xinyu Heavenly Emperor listened with a deep frown. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen under his governance.

If it were ordinary times, it might be overlooked, but they had to provoke the Archsage of the Priest Temple.

The position of the Grand Priest of the Saint Ancestor was no less than that of Jianchen Heavenly Emperor.

As the Archsage, Ye Yuan's status was close to that of the Grand Priest.

Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor and his wife attempting to kill Ye Yuan was an offense in itself.

Being killed by Ye Yuan, they could only blame their own bad luck.

Xinyu Heavenly Emperor bowed to Ye Yuan and said, "This matter is due to my negligence in discipline, offending the Archsage. Xinyu offers his apologies here."

Everyone was petrified!
