Chapter 2493: Who Is Faster!

"Die! Die! Die! Die for this Ancestor! Damn you, daring to toy with this Ancestor—this Ancestor wants you dead!"

Palm after palm, Lin Chaotian struck Ye Yuan like a madman.

Each palm was stronger than the last, relentless and unending.

The Wood Rule, by nature, was tenacious and continuous.

His palm force, like giant waves, washed over Ye Yuan's body again and again.

Ye Yuan still did not fight back, only gritting his teeth and holding on.

His internal organs were nearly shattered.

His bronze tendons and iron bones had broken into many pieces.

Yet, he still did not fight back!

Pang Zhen and the other two were in tears, unable even to look.

"Alas! Alas! Alas! Milord, you... you fight back! I beg you, fight back!" Pang Zhen pounded the ground with his fist, weeping bitterly.

Beside him, Zhang Zhen's expression flickered uncertainly.

Even he felt a trace of envy toward Pang Zhen and the others.

To have such brothers—what more could one ask for!

But unfortunately, he could never become Ye Yuan's brother!

"Kneel for this Ancestor!"

Suddenly, Lin Chaotian kicked Ye Yuan's shinbone.

With a crack, Ye Yuan's shinbone snapped.

Yet, he did not kneel!

His face turned pale from pain, but still he did not kneel!

Pfft!

Ye Yuan spat a mouthful of blood, carrying a Sword Dao will. Lin Chaotian could not dodge and was spat in the face.

"Lin Chaotian, you've vented your anger! But some lines are better left uncrossed. Wanting Ye to kneel—you are not worthy!" Ye Yuan's words were icy cold.

Lin Chaotian, spat in the face, flew into a rage: "What if this Ancestor insists you kneel?"

"Then... even if it means the three of them die, Ye will slay you here!" Ye Yuan's words were devoid of emotion.

Lin Chaotian's gaze darkened; he was furious but silent.

He knew Ye Yuan—Ye Yuan was too proud!

No matter the circumstances, he would never yield!

Making Ye Yuan kneel was absolutely impossible.

He did not doubt Ye Yuan's words in the slightest.

Because he knew Ye Yuan would truly do it!

His earlier rage had clouded his judgment, leading him to say that.

Now calmer, he realized he had let Ye Yuan dictate the pace.

The earlier mockery had enraged him.

But now, he found it somewhat dull!

Ye Yuan could be killed, but not humiliated!

"Hmph! Now, have you decided?" Lin Chaotian snorted coldly.

This was his compromise!

Zhang Zhen watched in shock. Ye Yuan was nearly dead, yet Lin Chaotian had stopped?

Could such a feeble threat actually work?

How could he know that Ye Yuan could not be killed!

Even destroying his physical body was useless.

Ye Yuan was immortal!

"I've decided. I'll save the two of them!" Ye Yuan raised his finger with difficulty, pointing at Xuanji Heavenly Emperor and Wan Zhen.

This time, he did not hesitate.

Wan Zhen trembled all over and roared: "Milord, I don't need you to save me!"

Xuanji Heavenly Emperor also roared in anger: "Ye Yuan, this Emperor doesn't need you to save me! Save them!"

But Lin Chaotian laughed loudly: "Hahaha... What bullshit brotherhood! Pang Zhen, you see? In his eyes, you're nothing but a fart!"

Pang Zhen, covered in blood, also laughed loudly: "Hahaha... You selfish, despicable little man, how could you ever understand the bond between us brothers? Milord, well done!"

He held no resentment toward Ye Yuan!

In fact, no matter whom Ye Yuan chose to save, the other two would not resent him.

As Pang Zhen said, Lin Chaotian would never understand the bond between brothers.

Because in Lin Chaotian's eyes, there was only profit!

For their brothers, they would take a knife in the ribs, sacrifice their lives, give up everything!

Such feelings were already etched into their bones.

How could a cold-blooded person understand?

On the contrary, Pang Zhen did not resent Ye Yuan; instead, he felt heartache for him.

Because he knew how much courage it took for Ye Yuan to make this decision!

The pain in Ye Yuan's heart was probably even greater than the injuries on his body!

Ye Yuan closed his eyes in pain and said, "Brothers, forgive me. I... only have two Rule Crystals!"

At that moment, Pang Zhen seemed to forget his own pain and laughed loudly: "Milord, thank you! It is my greatest honor to have followed you in this life. You taught me how to be a man! You made me grow! In the next life, I hope to continue following you!"

Lin Chaotian found that his provocation had no effect at all.

He truly could not understand why Pang Zhen remained so loyal to Ye Yuan under these circumstances.

Whoosh!

A Rule Crystal flew toward Lin Chaotian.

He reached out and caught it.

His face was full of joy.

Fire Source Crystal!

"Hahaha... Fire Source Crystal, what a treasure! It was such a waste on that fool Fire Ancestor! Now that this Ancestor has the Fire Source Crystal, even facing the Upper Heavenly Court, what is there to fear?" Lin Chaotian laughed heartily upon obtaining the Fire Source Crystal.

What he desired most was the Fire Source Crystal.

Wood gives birth to Fire!

With the Fire Source Crystal, his strength would increase exponentially!

Earlier, he had used Wood Rule power to assist Fire Ancestor, making the move 'Fire Dance Frenzy' immensely powerful.

But that was only because his mastery of the Wood Rule had reached a divine level.

If he could control both the Wood Rule and the Fire Rule, what was Fire Dance Frenzy?

When Tongtian Mountain opened, a person could only refine one Rule Crystal.

But after the cycle of heaven's way, one could refine a second Rule Crystal!

Mastering two rules, Lin Chaotian's strength would reach an extremely terrifying level!

"Release them!" Ye Yuan shouted coldly.

Lin Chaotian smiled slightly and waved his hand. Xuanji Heavenly Emperor was directly swept to Ye Yuan's front.

Ye Yuan sent out a divine essence to receive Xuanji Heavenly Emperor.

Ignoring his own injuries, he immediately checked Xuanji Heavenly Emperor's body and his expression changed.

Inside Xuanji Heavenly Emperor's body, an extremely powerful Wood Rule force was hidden in his divine sea!

Clearly, it was Lin Chaotian's doing.

With a single thought, this Wood Rule force would explode, shattering Xuanji Heavenly Emperor to pieces.

Seeing this, Lin Chaotian smiled slightly: "Heh, give up? Let's see if your sword is faster, or my thought. Now, hand over the other Water Rule Crystal!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhen trembled all over, a wild joy spreading across his face.

The reason he had agreed to Lin Chaotian was for this Rule Crystal!

What bullshit brotherhood, what loyalty—before the Dao Ancestor, what were they worth?

Ye Yuan took out the Water Source Crystal and threw it to Lin Chaotian without hesitation.

Lin Chaotian was also overjoyed.

Both he and Zhang Zhen had sworn heavenly oaths: he would get the Rule Crystal and give it to Zhang Zhen.

And Zhang Zhen, upon becoming a Dao Ancestor, would serve him forever!

He swept his sleeve and pulled the Rule Crystal toward him.

But at that moment, his divine soul suddenly suffered a violent stabbing pain, as if pierced by ten thousand fine needles.

In an instant, his consciousness fell into a standstill.
