Chapter 869: Fusion

"Shameless fool! You're about to lose your own life, yet you still think of saving others." Xie Ying laughed loudly.

Ye Yuan's indifferent attitude made Xie Ying quite displeased. Putting on airs should have its limits, shouldn't it?

A Heavenly Enlightenment Second Layer challenging a Dipper List expert—this had never happened in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

For Dipper List experts, they were always the ones challenging others across levels; when had they ever been challenged?

Yan Jun wanted to say something more, but Ye Yuan's Yuan power gently pushed him and Lin Shuang aside.

Yan Jun was stunned. He too was a Heavenly Enlightenment realm martial artist, yet under Ye Yuan's push, he had no power to resist!

Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, saying calmly, "Is your Dipper List ranking blown out of your mouth? So much nonsense!"

Xie Ying's face turned cold. "Brat, you'll die horribly!"

A狂暴 killing intent burst forth, nearly solidifying. The onlookers couldn't withstand this killing intent and quickly scattered.

"It's been years since we last saw Xie Ying make a move; his strength is even greater than before!"

"His killing intent has solidified; it seems his comprehension of the Supreme True Meaning of Slaughter has advanced further!"

"No wonder his Dipper List ranking has been rising over the years. He looks close to the Formless Realm! This kid challenging Xie Ying is simply courting death!"

Xie Ying's status was earned through solid battle achievements. Though he hadn't fought for years, his strength had clearly been steadily increasing.

Now, when Xie Ying once again revealed his strength before the crowd, no one thought highly of Ye Yuan.

The True Meaning of Slaughter was a common artistic conception comprehended by martial artists in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

The Slaughter artistic conception was also a top-tier Supreme True Meaning. Cultivated to the extreme, it was not inferior to the Scorching Heat artistic conception.

When cultivated to a very high level, merely the artistic conception released by a martial artist could confuse an opponent's state of mind, thus gaining the upper hand.

Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, leisurely positioned at the center of the storm, appearing very calm.

The True Meaning of Slaughter was powerful, but with Xie Ying's comprehension, it couldn't shake Ye Yuan in the slightest.

Seeing this, Xie Ying's expression changed slightly. It seemed this kid dared to shout not without some skill.

"Chi..."

Xie Ying's figure suddenly burst forth, and the sword in his hand strangely disappeared!

"Shadowless Sword! Xie Ying's Shadowless Sword has finally appeared again! His sword strikes leave no trace, impossible to track. Unexpectedly, he goes straight for the kill!"

As soon as Xie Ying moved, someone immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Yuan slowly closed his eyes, entering a state of mind as firm as a rock, fully aware of everything around him.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound of metal clashing came, and Ye Yuan and Xie Ying separated upon contact. Ye Yuan was knocked back dozens of steps!

"This kid is using his physical body to clash head-on with Xie Ying! Just how strong is his body?"

"Such a fast sword—how did he catch it?"

"No wonder this kid dared to challenge Xie Ying; his strength is actually this formidable! But it seems he's still no match for Xie Ying!"

After one exchange, Xie Ying stood motionless while Ye Yuan was knocked back dozens of steps—the difference was clear.

"Heh, no wonder you're so arrogant; your physical body has been cultivated to such a level. But... no matter how strong your body is, it's useless! Die!"

Xie Ying sneered and swung his sword again!

"Ding, ding, ding..."

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged dozens of moves.

"Bang!"

Xie Ying raised his foot and suddenly kicked Ye Yuan in the chest, sending him flying far away.

"Master Ye!"

Yan Jun was already stunned; he hadn't expected Ye Yuan to be such a formidable martial arts expert.

Facing an expert like Xie Ying, he was only slightly at a disadvantage.

But this kick startled Yan Jun.

Ye Yuan got up as if nothing had happened, brushed the dust off his clothes, and said, "Not bad, interesting. Again!"

Xie Ying had kicked Ye Yuan square in the chest and was feeling pleased, but seeing Ye Yuan unharmed, his face turned ugly.

He hadn't held back much with that kick, yet Ye Yuan was completely uninjured.

With such a strong physical body, his defense was ridiculously high!

It seemed only the Slaughter artistic conception could break through Ye Yuan's defense!

"Hmph! Kid, you won't be so lucky next time!"

Xie Ying swung his sword again and engaged Ye Yuan once more.

Xie Ying's Slaughter artistic conception spread everywhere, extremely狂暴. In contrast, Ye Yuan was like a stubborn rock in a violent storm—no matter how fierce the storm, he stood unmoved!

But discerning eyes could see that Ye Yuan was still at a disadvantage.

Xie Ying wanted to use his Slaughter artistic conception against Ye Yuan, but each time Ye Yuan cleverly avoided it.

However, although Ye Yuan avoided the vital points, the whole process was quite狼狈. After a thousand exchanges, he had suffered considerable external injuries.

"Heh, even if you're an iron block, you'll die from injuries at this rate!" Xie Ying was very patient; if Ye Yuan wanted to drag it out, let's see who could last longer.

Ye Yuan seemed oblivious, still swinging his fists relentlessly, not giving Xie Ying a moment to breathe.

"Master Ye, stop fighting! If you continue, you'll die!" Yan Jun couldn't bear to watch and shouted from the side.

"Haha, you're too naive! At this point, will City Lord Xie let him leave alive? But forcing City Lord Xie to this point is already enough for him to be proud." A follower of Xie Ying laughed loudly.

"Fool! This is a life-and-death battle! It won't stop until one side dies. This kid overestimates himself, daring to challenge City Lord Xie. He deserves to die!"

Seeing Ye Yuan about to lose, the crowd sneered at his overestimation.

From start to finish, Ye Yuan had been on the defensive, with no sign of victory.

Although Ye Yuan's strength surprised everyone, it was clear that the gap with Xie Ying was too large.

Of course, they hadn't noticed that Xie Ying's expression had been growing more solemn.

Ye Yuan's punches were getting heavier, each one like a giant hammer with tremendous impact, and Xie Ying was beginning to struggle to withstand them.

Moreover, with each punch from Ye Yuan, Xie Ying's whole body felt as if it were burning.

The immense impact and burning force made him extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Xie Ying's pupils contracted!

Ye Yuan's fist had disappeared before his eyes!

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, Xie Ying's body, like a cannonball, was blasted directly into the ground.

The mocking voices abruptly stopped.

They stared in disbelief at the scene, their minds unable to process it.

Just moments ago, Xie Ying had been in absolute control; how had he suddenly lost?
