Chapter 626 Repeated Provocations

Three graceful figures drifted down from a towering tree, causing Ye Yuan to involuntarily glance sideways.

Each of the three was stunningly beautiful, enough to make any mortal fall for them.

Even Ye Yuan found it hard to believe they were transformed demons.

The foremost beauty glared at Ye Yuan and said, “Human, trespassing in the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain means death!”

Ye Yuan frowned. He had entered here to evade Ding Liang’s pursuit and felt somewhat in the wrong, but being met with immediate threats made him quite displeased.

Moreover, judging by their attitude, things wouldn’t end well; no matter how he explained, they probably wouldn’t listen.

“Ladies, would you hear me out?” Ye Yuan asked, still unwilling to give up, suppressing his anger.

After all, he had intruded on their territory, and it was better to avoid a fight if possible.

Ye Yuan was also inwardly cautious. Running into three transformed demons right after entering—was he just lucky, or were all the beasts here this strong?

“No need to speak! Whatever your reason, trespassing in the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain means death! I’ll give you a chance—kill yourself!” the woman said.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan frowned even deeper.

The woman was beautiful, but her condescending attitude irritated Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan wasn’t exactly good-tempered. With her telling him to kill himself, how could this end peacefully?

Just as he was about to lose his temper, the slightly younger woman looked reluctant and pleaded, “Sister Yuleng, maybe he really has some difficulty. Why not hear him out?”

The stunning woman named Yuleng scolded, “What difficulty? Yushu, have you forgotten the ancestral teachings? Any human who enters the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain is to be killed without mercy!”

“But…”

“Hmph! I don’t know how he got through the Devouring Mist, but since he’s here, we must kill him according to the ancestral teachings!”

The woman called Yuleng was clearly unreasonable, and her constant threats stoked Ye Yuan’s anger.

“Heh, ‘killed without mercy,’ you say! I’d like to see how you’ll kill me!” Ye Yuan sneered.

Yuleng looked at him contemptuously and sneered, “You think dodging my earlier attack means you can escape from me? You’re just a brat who’s just entered the Soul Sea, utterly ignorant of your place! Fine, since you won’t do it yourself, I’ll send you on your way!”

Without any visible movement, the ribbon of light eerily shot toward Ye Yuan again.

But this time, both its angle and speed were significantly greater than before.

Clearly, she had acknowledged his strength and was now getting serious.

Ye Yuan merely smiled coldly and directly unleashed the Xuanying Sword.

“Ten Thousand Rain Blades!”

Ten thousand swords instantly formed and slashed down at the ribbon!

Now that Ye Yuan had broken through to the Soul Sea realm, condensing Yuan Power into form was effortless for him, and unleashing a technique like Ten Thousand Rain Blades came naturally.

The power of the blades had also greatly increased, as could be seen from their form.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

A fifth-rank demon’s strength was naturally formidable. Though Ye Yuan’s Ten Thousand Rain Blades were powerful, they couldn’t cut through Yuleng’s ribbon, only producing a metallic clashing sound.

However, even if they couldn’t sever the ribbon, Ye Yuan’s blades forced it back step by step.

Seeing that Ye Yuan’s casually used technique was so strong, Yuleng’s expression finally turned serious.

This human youth seemed somewhat unusual!

She had initially thought Ye Yuan was just an ordinary genius warrior capable of fighting above his level.

But now, it was clearly not the case.

She still hadn’t used her full strength, but that earlier strike could easily kill a Soul Sea ninth-layer warrior. Dealing with a Soul Sea first-layer brat should have been a piece of cake.

Who would have thought this kid, at only Soul Sea first layer, could force her back step by step!

Ye Yuan frowned and said, “You’re being unreasonable, girl. Push me further, and I won’t be polite!”

This Yuleng was only a newly transformed demon, not even as strong as Shangguan Yunrong, whose cultivation had been knocked down. Ye Yuan could easily handle her.

But Ye Yuan was unfamiliar with the place and didn’t want trouble. Moreover, despite being demons, the three were stunning beauties, so he held back repeatedly. Otherwise, with Yuleng provoking him again and again, he would have killed her long ago.

However, Ye Yuan’s words sounded ridiculous to Yuleng.

She admitted Ye Yuan was strong, much stronger than she had imagined.

But that he could cross a major realm and defeat her—Yuleng absolutely refused to believe.

“How dare you! Lowly human, spouting nonsense! Die!”

Yuleng gave a sharp shout and struck again with her ribbon!

“Jade Ribbon Flying Sword!”

This time, Yuleng truly unleashed her fifth-rank power. The ribbon, infused with extremely strong demonic Yuan, shot straight toward Ye Yuan like a taut blade.

Ye Yuan decided to teach this girl a lesson and show her that Young Master Ye was not to be trifled with!

“Boom!”

Ye Yuan’s aura suddenly exploded, directly rising to Soul Sea third layer!

“Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm!”

The moment Ye Yuan got serious, Yuleng’s expression changed dramatically.

This palm was too strong!

Strong enough to directly kill her!

She never imagined that a Soul Sea first-layer youth could achieve the power to kill a fifth-rank demon!

What did that mean?

Fifth-rank transformed demons were called ‘demons,’ while those below fourth-rank were called ‘beasts,’ showing the vast gap between these two realms!

It was an insurmountable chasm!

Yet this youth had directly crossed that chasm!

Strong!

Too strong!

The azure dragon shattered the ribbon into pieces with irresistible force and then swept directly toward Yuleng.

“Ah! Don’t hurt Sister Yuleng!”

The young girl named Yushu actually rushed in front of Yuleng, trying to block the strike!

Startled by this sudden turn, Ye Yuan quickly flipped his palm, redirecting the azure dragon toward a massive tree that would take ten people to encircle.

“Boom!”

The trunk of that towering tree was snapped, and the tree fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Yuleng was already pale with fear, her earlier arrogance completely gone.

If that palm had landed on her, though it might not have killed her, it would have severely injured her.

Little did she know, Ye Yuan had held back; otherwise, she would have met her end!

It was also because the girl named Yushu had spoken up for him earlier, leaving a good impression, that he changed the attack’s direction at the last moment.

Otherwise, he would have made sure that girl Yuleng ended up severely injured.

“D-dragon clan?” Yuleng said in disbelief.
