Chapter 870: Is It Her?

"This... what the hell is going on?"

"Xie Ying had that kid completely suppressed; how did he suddenly explode like that?"

"A master from the Earthly Fiend List actually lost to an unknown Heaven Initiate Realm second level? Too fake, right?"

Xie Ying's sudden defeat left everyone utterly stunned.

Clearly, Xie Ying had Ye Yuan completely under control, and he was about to lose—how did the plot suddenly reverse?

Xie Ying struggled to his feet, indescribably disheveled.

He looked down at himself; the light armor he had been wearing was now battered and broken from Ye Yuan's punch, completely useless.

In other words, if Ye Yuan threw another punch at him, he would surely die.

At that critical moment of life and death, the light armor had saved his life.

He had obtained this light armor at great cost, specifically for protection. He never expected Ye Yuan to shatter it with a single punch.

Thinking back to that punch, Xie Ying still shuddered. His light armor was a top-grade Mystic Artifact, yet it was completely destroyed by Ye Yuan's one punch.

One could imagine how powerful that punch was.

After all, destroying a top-grade Mystic Artifact armor was far more difficult than breaking a sword!

Beyond the armor, there was also the martial artist's protective Yuan energy. Ye Yuan not only directly broke through Xie Ying's protective Yuan energy, but the residual force also destroyed a top-grade Mystic Artifact armor.

That strike was too terrifying!

Xie Ying looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze filled with extreme fear: "You... you were using me to test your moves!"

By now, if Xie Ying still didn't realize that Ye Yuan had only been using him as a training dummy, he would be too stupid.

Ye Yuan's fist technique grew stronger and more refined during the fight, culminating in that terrifying punch!

The power of that punch could absolutely kill an ordinary Formless Realm martial artist!

A Heaven Initiate Realm second level crossing an entire major realm to kill a Formless Realm martial artist—what did that even mean?

The martial artists on the Earthly Fiend List were strong, sure, but when they were at Heaven Initiate Realm second level, they couldn't have been this monstrous either!

Ye Yuan in midair looked somewhat disheveled, but his physical body was extremely tough; Xie Ying's attacks hadn't caused him much harm.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "You're not too stupid. Thanks to you, my Void Dragon Shadow Fist is finally complete."

This technique was a fusion of the Void Fire Seal and Dragon Wave. The reason he chose Xie Ying to test it was precisely because the opponent was strong enough.

Of course, even with Azure Firmament Drifting Sword, Ye Yuan had the strength to kill Xie Ying.

Xie Ying's face was extremely ugly, but his fear of Ye Yuan had reached its peak: "You... that punch of yours actually contained the Supreme True Intent of Scorching Heat!"

"What! They exchanged over a thousand moves, and that kid was just testing his moves?"

"Too terrifying! To dare use an Earthly Fiend List master as a test dummy, just how confident is this guy?"

"What did Xie Ying just say? Supreme True Intent of Scorching Heat! That... isn't that the Supreme True Intent that only Divine King Lingzhe could comprehend? How did this kid manage it?"

The conversation between Ye Yuan and Xie Ying stunned the onlooking martial artists.

They had thought Ye Yuan was no match, but it turned out Ye Yuan had never taken Xie Ying seriously.

Daring to use an Earthly Fiend List master as a test dummy, Ye Yuan must have absolute confidence.

Even without using the newly mastered technique, Ye Yuan still had the ability to kill Xie Ying.

But Ye Yuan was only at Heaven Initiate Realm second level!

Looking at Xie Ying, Ye Yuan said indifferently, "At least you have some insight. Now, I can send you on your way!"

With that, Ye Yuan moved and was about to punch Xie Ying to death.

"Hold it! If you kill me, that little girl is dead too! Aren't you trying to save her? Let's see how you save her!" Xie Ying sneered.

Xie Ying had long investigated the relationship between Ye Yuan and the Yan Jun couple.

He had kidnapped Yan Ling originally to extort a large sum from Yan Jun. Unexpectedly, she became his life-saving charm, making Xie Ying quite smug.

With Yan Ling in his hands, Ye Yuan wouldn't dare make a move!

Hearing this, Yan Jun and his wife's expressions changed, and they angrily shouted, "Xie Ying, you... shameless!"

Xie Ying laughed wildly: "Hahaha... Shameless? The victor is king, the loser a bandit. The word 'shameless' doesn't apply in the Chaotic Demon Sea! Kid, since you want the Execution Token, are you ready to fall? Do you choose your own life or that little girl's life? Pick one!"

Ye Yuan drifted down, looking at Xie Ying with pity, and smiled faintly: "If I want to kill you, no one can stop me."

Intimidated by Ye Yuan's aura, Xie Ying involuntarily stepped back a few paces and gritted his teeth: "Don't you care whether that little girl lives or dies?"

Ye Yuan smiled and pointed into the crowd: "The little girl you're talking about, is it her?"

Following Ye Yuan's direction, Xie Ying's face changed drastically, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

"How... how is this possible?"

In the crowd, a youth held a little girl in his arms—who else could it be but Yan Ling?

Seeing Yan Ling, Yan Jun and his wife rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"Ling... Ling'er?"

"Dad... Mom..."

Xiao Huo carried Yan Ling to Yan Jun and his wife and handed her back to Lin Shuang. Tears streamed down their faces.

"Ling'er... it's all Mom and Dad's fault for making you suffer!" The family of three hugged each other and wept.

"Bang!"

Without any hesitation, Ye Yuan cleanly finished off Xie Ying.

With his last life-saving charm gone, Xie Ying couldn't even muster the courage to resist.

Ye Yuan reached out, and a token flew from Xie Ying's corpse into his hand.

As soon as it touched his hand, a狂暴 killing aura rushed at him. The token bore a blood-red character: "Kill."

This token was the Execution Token!

With it, Ye Yuan could enter the Killing Plains and begin a journey filled with blood and slaughter.

He dripped blood to bind it, and an extremely fierce killing aura entered Ye Yuan's body, assaulting his sea of consciousness.

In an instant, Ye Yuan felt as if he had fallen into endless slaughter, with an urge to kill everyone around him.

Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Yuan entered a state of mind as firm as a rock, instantly suppressing this killing intent.

How could mere killing intent overcome Ye Yuan's rock-solid mind?

At this moment, every move Ye Yuan made drew intense attention.

Seeing him publicly bind the Execution Token with blood, everyone was stunned speechless.

The Execution Token contained an extremely strong killing intent; a misstep could turn a martial artist into a killing machine.

Ordinary people who obtained the Execution Token would go into seclusion in a remote place—who would be as arrogant as Ye Yuan?

But they clearly saw that Ye Yuan's eyes were only clouded for an instant before clearing again.

This new city lord was too terrifying!
