Chapter 438: You've Suffered

Wind Emperor slightly turned his head to look at Xiao Ruyan, and Ye Yuan's heart was filled with great anxiety.

He had long seen that this Wind Emperor was not someone easy to talk to.

A man who would start a war between two realms for his own selfish interests—how could such a person be anything but a tyrant?

How could such a figure show mercy to a mere weak woman?

"You girl are also ungrateful, actually pleading for someone from another realm! The Xiao family has received my grace for generations, and this is how you repay me? Fine, since you want to die, I'll send you on your way!"

Wind Emperor's words carried no emotion, sending a chill through everyone's hearts.

"No...!" Ye Yuan shouted loudly.

Zhao Tianyin seemed not to hear at all. He slightly raised his hand, gently flicked his index finger, and a starlight flew like a comet toward Xiao Ruyan's heart!

No one doubted that if that starlight touched Xiao Ruyan, she would surely die!

But at this moment, who could save her?

The starlight reached Xiao Ruyan in an instant, but she seemed not to see it. At that moment, she turned back to look at Ye Yuan and smiled at him!

"Chi... boom!"

The starlight did not hit Xiao Ruyan but flew into the distance and struck the ground.

A huge roar sounded, and碎石 flew everywhere.

Xiao Ruyan... was gone!

At this unexpected turn, Wind Emperor remained calm but looked at Ye Yuan: "A spatial artifact? It seems I underestimated you."

It turned out that at the critical moment, Ye Yuan had activated the spatial artifact and taken Xiao Ruyan inside!

This scene naturally did not escape Wind Emperor's eyes.

"But... you can't even save yourself now, yet you still have the mind to care about others. Let me see how long you can hold on!"

As Zhao Tianyin's words fell, Ye Yuan suddenly felt the pressure around him increase several times!

The terrifying pressure distorted space itself, giving an unreal feeling.

Under such pressure, Ye Yuan's body sank more than half, and one knee was almost touching the ground!

"Pfft!"

Ye Yuan frantically urged the primal power within him, desperately trying to straighten his back. Under the immense pressure, he finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Not only that, under the squeezing of space, all the skin on Ye Yuan's body cracked and oozed blood, making him look utterly miserable.

"Zhao Tianyin! If you have the guts... kill me! Even if I'm... ground to dust, I... won't kneel!" Ye Yuan roared out.

"Kill you? Killing you is too easy! If I wanted, grinding you to dust would be no trouble. But... I only want you to kneel." Zhao Tianyin said calmly.

Zhao Tianyin waved his hand again, and the pressure on Ye Yuan surged once more!

Clearly, if he wished, he could use this move alone to grind Ye Yuan to dust. The pressure he was applying now was only a fraction of his power, just to make Ye Yuan kneel.

Under the immense pressure, Ye Yuan's consciousness gradually blurred, and his body sank bit by bit.

Seeing Ye Yuan's miserable state, Xing Yuan's anger finally flared up!

But before he could act, Zhao Tianyin said calmly, "Xing Yuan, I advise you not to make a move. You know, in martial arts, you are too weak!"

As he spoke, Zhao Tianyin casually pointed, and the primal power of heaven and earth formed a thin film, enveloping Xing Yuan.

Xing Yuan's expression changed, and he struck out with a palm toward the film.

"Boom!"

The film remained motionless, and Xing Yuan was bounced back!

This was the strength of a Boundless Realm martial artist!

Even a royal-level Star Abyss was so helpless before Zhao Tianyin!

"Alright, stay put. After I deal with this kid, we'll have a proper chat." Zhao Tianyin said indifferently.

Star Abyss gritted his teeth: "Zhao Tianyin, you... deserve to die!"

But Zhao Tianyin ignored Star Abyss and once again increased the primal force on Ye Yuan!

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's aura surged wildly. His eyes were bloodshot as he coldly stared at Zhao Tianyin.

Zhao Tianyin said flatly: "Burning your essence blood... burning fifty percent of it at once, you've nearly destroyed your own foundation. Doing this... just to avoid kneeling to me? What a stubborn youth. But... the more stubborn you are, the more I want to make you kneel. Heh."

Ye Yuan was already severely injured, and under Zhao Tianyin's pressure, he had long reached his limit.

He had held on until now solely by the support of a single conviction.

Knowing he would die anyway, Ye Yuan simply burned fifty percent of his essence blood, instantly filling his primal force to the brim!

In this state, he actually managed to stand up a little!

But... all this was futile. The gap between Ye Yuan and a Boundless Realm martial artist was too vast!

He had barely pushed back a bit when Zhao Tianyin applied a little more pressure, immediately forcing Ye Yuan down again.

"Boom!"

Ye Yuan's feet actually sank into the ground!

At this moment, Ye Yuan's knees were only a few inches from the ground!

Burning fifty percent of his essence blood couldn't buy him even a moment's respite.

Ye Yuan's consciousness grew hazier, but a voice inside kept telling him: Don't kneel! Don't kneel!

By now, Ye Yuan was drenched in his own blood, a shocking sight.

Everyone watching this scene couldn't help but show signs of emotion.

A youth at the Crystal Coagulation Realm had displayed such stubbornness before a Boundless Realm martial artist!

Though these people were Zhao Tianyin's subjects, at this moment they couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Ye Yuan.

A genius is called a genius not only for extraordinary talent but also for an unyielding spirit and tenacious character.

Ye Yuan possessed all the qualities of a genius. He should have soared high, but now he was cruelly humiliated by Zhao Tianyin, ultimately doomed to die.

Such harsh methods were hardly commendable.

Killing is one thing, but such humiliation goes against the will of heaven.

Ye Yuan felt his strength ebbing away, his resistance against the spatial pressure growing more and more feeble.

"Is this the end..."

That was Ye Yuan's last thought. Finally, he could no longer hold on and lost consciousness.

Seeing this, the Wind Emperor Zhao Tianyin's lips curled into a victor's smile.

But... Ye Yuan's body did not fall. A graceful figure stepped out from the void, catching him just as he was about to kneel.

The woman sighed softly: "Forgive me, Young Master Ye. Li'er came too late and made you suffer."

This woman was none other than Li'er!

Her appearance was like a fairy descending to the mortal world, without the slightest warning!

Seeing Li'er, Zhao Tianyin's expression changed for the first time, showing a hint of gravity. With his strength, he hadn't even noticed someone hiding in the void!

"Who are you! How dare you intrude into the royal city!" Zhao Tianyin said in a deep voice.
