Chapter 655: Attacking His Strength

"Young master, don't fall for this kid's trick! He's openly challenging you, probably with ill intentions!" Peng Hai warned.

Peng Yun smiled confidently and said, "Uncle Hai, you're too cautious. Don't you know my strength? With my power, if I can't even take down a mere fourth-rank Dragon Lord, how can I ever govern the Eastern Ming Domain? If I dare not accept a Dragon Lord's challenge, what right do I have to inherit the Qianshan Dapeng clan? Let him use whatever tricks he has; I, the young master, will take them all!"

Indeed, this was a battle he could not lose, so Peng Yun had no reason to refuse.

Fifth-rank against fourth-rank, a difference of a major realm. If he lost even then, he, as the heir of the Qianshan Dapeng clan, would have no face left to show himself.

Since Ye Yuan had revealed his identity as Dragon Lord, Peng Yun had to accept the challenge.

The entire Eastern Ming Domain knew that the young master of Qianshan Dapeng had died at the hands of the previous Dragon Lord. If he refused Ye Yuan's challenge, he would be a complete coward.

Ye Yuan was forcing him into a corner!

Of course, in Peng Yun's view, Ye Yuan was forcing himself into a corner!

Hearing Peng Yun's words, Peng Hai knew it was hard to stop him. But he would keep a close watch on Ye Yuan; if Ye Yuan made any suspicious move, he would strike like thunder!

Peng Yun descended from his flying chariot and came before Ye Yuan, shaking his head in disdain. "I didn't expect the current Dragon Lord to be so weak. If you hadn't revealed your reverse scale, I'd suspect you were a fake."

Ye Yuan was indeed a fake; how could he be the Dragon Lord?

But at this moment, Ye Yuan was quite grateful for the Dragon Lord identity.

Peng Yun's appearance was too sudden; Ye Yuan had no time to prepare anything. So since Peng Yun appeared, Ye Yuan had been thinking about how to deal with him.

And the Dragon Lord identity was his only choice!

And the Dragon Lord identity was his only choice!

"Heh, your predecessor was killed by mine, and today's outcome won't be any different. The Dapeng clan may have some tricks, but at best, they're just nouveau riche, never fit for the big stage," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.

For divine beasts like the Four Symbols, other demon clans were nouveau riche.

The Dragon clan had this confidence and this pride.

Ye Yuan's demeanor made Peng Yun believe his identity even more, because the previous Dragon Lord was just as arrogant as Ye Yuan.

Peng Yun's face darkened. "You reckless fool, daring to provoke my bottom line—you'll die horribly!"

Although the Dragon clan's power was universally acknowledged, within the Divine Seal Demon Region, apart from the Dragon Lord who appeared every few years, there were no other dragons.

Of course, there might be some inside, but that place was isolated from the world; no matter what happened outside, they would not interfere.

Though no one knew where the Dragon Lord came from, the most likely place was there!

Because that place was the most mysterious—as mysterious as the Dragon Lord!

Historically, Dragon Lords had been killed, but that place showed no reaction.

That was why the Qianshan Dapeng clan dared to be so arrogant.

If that place had reacted, what would killing the young master of Qianshan Dapeng mean to the Dragon Lord?

Peng Yun unleashed his full fifth-rank aura, releasing the pressure of the Dapeng bloodline, instantly enveloping everyone.

Seeing this, Xiong Zhan's heart sank. He hadn't expected Peng Yun's divine beast Kunpeng bloodline to be so rich—probably surpassing the previous Dapeng young master.

Peng Yun's strength was far greater than an ordinary late fifth-rank!

Xiong Zhan's gaze turned to Ye Yuan, worrying for him.

Compared to Peng Yun, Ye Yuan's strength was too weak!

Moreover, demon beasts with Kunpeng bloodline were incredibly fast; Xiong Zhan saw no hope of Ye Yuan winning.

"Boom!"

At almost the same moment, Ye Yuan's aura surged violently, directly breaking through to the peak of Soul Sea sixth layer!

Primordial Spirit Nine Transformations!

Originally, Xiao Huo was only fourth-rank and could no longer help Ye Yuan much, but now that Xiao Huo had broken through to fifth-rank, the power of Ye Yuan's Primordial Spirit Nine Transformations manifested again.

Seeing this, Peng Hai frowned slightly, clearly surprised by Ye Yuan's move, and began to worry for Peng Yun.

For some reason, Peng Hai felt that this Ye Yuan was not simple.

Peng Yun himself was only slightly surprised, then sneered indifferently, "You do have some skill, but that's not enough!"

With that, before anyone could react, Peng Yun vanished.

"Boom!"

Peng Yun struck Ye Yuan directly with a palm!

Everyone was startled; this happened too suddenly.

Had Ye Yuan been taken down so easily?

But when everyone came to their senses, they realized something was off.

Ye Yuan was still standing there, a faint smile on his lips.

Then... Ye Yuan's figure gradually dissipated—it was an afterimage!

"Hey, they say the Kunpeng divine beast is unmatched in speed, but I think it's nothing special."

Ye Yuan's faint voice drifted over, full of contempt.

Peng Yun's face darkened. "No wonder you dared to challenge me—you have some skill in speed. But do you think that's enough? How naive!"

Peng Yun's bloodline power spread, his speed instantly reaching its peak as he dashed toward Ye Yuan.

This time, his speed was several times faster than before!

This was a lethal pace!

Except for a few sixth-rank experts, no one present could see Peng Yun's trajectory.

The Peng clan was indeed known for unmatched speed.

But the next moment, something even more astonishing happened.

Ye Yuan's figure also vanished, and the two disappeared like air!

"Th-this... what incredible speed! The speed of these two is unimaginable!"

"Peng Yun's speed is expected, but what about that Ye Yuan? Since when did the Dragon clan become so fast?"

"Peng Yun's bloodline power definitely surpasses the previous generation; his speed is heaven-defying! And this Ye Yuan can match Peng Yun in speed! I've never seen anyone rival the Peng clan in speed!"

Everyone was shocked by Ye Yuan's speed—it was terrifying!

Compared to Ye Yuan's earlier speed contest with Lang Ya, this was like comparing a great whale to a minnow.

But while Peng Yun's speed was expected, Ye Yuan's speed surprised everyone.

Fighting the Qianshan Dapeng clan usually required overwhelming absolute power. Trying to match them in speed was pure fantasy.

Yet now, Ye Yuan had brilliantly shamed all the Peng clan in terms of speed.
