Chapter 2679: What She Said Was Absolutely Right!

"A mere Great Extreme Heaven, and a human at that—I could crush him with one hand! Sister Jingfei, stop joking!"

A young man seated at the head of the table said disdainfully.

Yet his words to the little dragon girl were quite polite.

"Brother Ruichen, Jingfei isn't joking! Brother Ye Yuan is really, really powerful. You're no match for him!" Jingfei said earnestly.

Her innocent face shattered Ruichen's self-esteem.

Who did he, Ruichen, think he was?

He was a member of the royal clan of the Sining Sea, his true form an octopus, noble in status and no weaker than the dragon clan!

And today, he was looked down upon by a little girl!

He stood up abruptly, walked over to Ye Yuan, and sneered, "Despicable human, do you dare accept my challenge? If not, get back to land immediately!"

Ye Yuan looked helpless and said indifferently, "Can I refuse?"

It wasn't that he was afraid; he simply didn't want to invite unnecessary trouble.

This young man was clearly the type who had his eyes on the top of his head.

Getting angry with him wasn't worth it.

But Ruichen clearly had no intention of letting Ye Yuan off. He sneered, "Of course you can refuse, but you'll have to crawl between my legs!"

"Haha, that's right, crawl between Ruichen's legs and you're good!"

"Don't worry, I, this dragon prince, guarantee it! If he dares to make trouble for you, I'll be the first to deal with him!"

"Come on, crawl!"

...

Ruichen's words immediately drew echoes from others at the banquet.

Clearly, they all thought Ye Yuan had chickened out.

The little dragon girl's words were simply not credible.

Then again, that girl rarely spoke a word of truth.

It wasn't impossible that she had just brought some human to liven things up.

Ye Yuan frowned slightly. He didn't want trouble, but that didn't mean he feared it.

"What, you look unconvinced? Do you really think that just because Jingfei calls you 'brother,' you're qualified to stand on equal footing with me? You're nothing but a despicable human!" Ruichen sneered.

Ye Yuan grinned, and suddenly, a flash of sword light flickered.

Whoosh!

Ruichen's expression changed drastically as he felt an extremely dangerous sensation surge over him.

Swish!

In an instant, Ruichen reverted to his true form and spat out a mass of black ink.

The entire space darkened instantly.

Then, eight tentacles suddenly emerged from the darkness, aiming for Ye Yuan.

But Ye Yuan paid them no heed, directly activating two sword beams from the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Tree.

"Break!"

Ye Yuan shouted coldly, and the dark space was directly torn open with a huge gap!

Ruichen spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.

All eight of his tentacles were severed!

The entire venue fell into dead silence.

From Ye Yuan's attack to Ruichen spitting ink, to Ye Yuan breaking the space, the whole process took no more than a breath.

In other words, Ruichen hadn't even lasted a single breath!

And throughout, Ye Yuan had used only one hand!

Ye Yuan looked at Ruichen lying on the ground and said calmly, "Didn't you say you could crush me with one hand? Now you've used eight hands, but I... only used one."

Ruichen lay on the ground trembling, but soon his severed tentacles grew back, and he resumed human form.

However, he looked at Ye Yuan with fear and said, "You... you caught me off guard!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, was it a sneak attack? Then let's fight fair and square. The loser crawls between the other's legs, how about that?"

Ruichen's expression changed drastically, and he dared not respond.

He was just putting up a brave front; from that single sword strike, Ye Yuan's strength far surpassed his own!

His dark ink was his trump card, yet Ye Yuan had broken it in a single breath.

Clearly, the gap between them was enormous!

"This human kid is a manifestation expert!"

"Ruichen couldn't even last one move against him!"

"Ruichen has lost all face now, defeated by a human!"

...

Those young elites finally came to their senses, exclaiming in amazement.

They realized that this human kid was really strong!

Even the Black Flood Dragon King's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration.

He knew well what the little dragon girl was up to, but he didn't stop her.

He was eager to see just how strong this human who had stopped the great sea battle really was.

Sure enough, he wasn't disappointed!

Ye Yuan's strength far exceeded that of his peers!

Moreover, he had clearly seen that the sapling of Ye Yuan's Great Dao manifestation had eight leaves.

But Ye Yuan had only used two!

This meant Ye Yuan still had plenty of strength in reserve!

This kid was extraordinary!

Ye Yuan swept his gaze across the crowd and said calmly, "I refused earlier not because I was afraid, but because I couldn't be bothered to argue with him. Just now, Jingfei said I'm stronger than all of you, and you all seemed unconvinced. Since we've already started, I might as well tell you: what she said was absolutely right! Forgive my bluntness, but everyone here... is trash!"

At these words, indignation filled the faces of the young elites.

This kid dared to look down on all of them!

"Ha, what big talk! Do you think that just because you beat Ruichen, you have the right to bluster here?"

"Kid, don't be so arrogant!"

"Brother Muchen, this kid insulted you too. Can you stand for it?"

...

Ye Yuan's earlier move had already intimidated most of them.

Naturally, they didn't dare challenge Ye Yuan, but that didn't mean everyone was afraid of him.

Among them, a few had reached the mid-stage Boundless Heaven.

Moreover, some had extremely powerful bloodlines and were not afraid of Ye Yuan at all.

At this moment, the one called Muchen finally stepped forward.

"Kid, do you think you're the only one who has comprehended Great Dao manifestation? Our sea clan's territory is no place for a human like you to run wild! I, this dragon prince, now challenge you!" Muchen sneered.

Muchen also had dragon blood, but he belonged to the Panlong clan.

Among this group, his strength was considered top-notch.

Since he dared to say that, Muchen was clearly also a manifestation expert.

But Ye Yuan was not afraid.

"Oh, whether it's your place or not isn't decided by words!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Ye Yuan pointed his finger, and two manifested swords turned into streams of light, shooting straight at Muchen.

Muchen snorted coldly, and a chain suddenly appeared in his hand.

The chain exuded a terrifying aura; it was formed from lightning manifestation!

Lightning Chain!

Muchen lightly swung the lightning chain, directly knocking away Ye Yuan's two flying swords.

His cultivation level was far above Ye Yuan's, and as a manifestation expert, blocking two flying swords was naturally no problem.

Then, he swept the chain, aiming to entangle Ye Yuan.
