Chapter 876: The Sovereign

Seeing Ye Yuan make a move, Tu Gang was not angry but delighted, laughing loudly, "Well struck!"

Ye Yuan's punch was not fast, appearing no different from an ordinary second-level Enlightened.

So in Tu Gang's view, Ye Yuan was simply asking for a beating!

Tan Si shook his head and sighed, "Another fool seeking death!"

The maidservant heard Tan Si's sigh, but her eyes were full of confusion.

She thought Tan Si would lend a hand, after all, his strength seemed far superior. But Tan Si showed no intention of helping; instead, he mocked Tu Gang.

Could these two be idiots? the maidservant thought to herself.

Tu Gang also suddenly threw a punch, incredibly fast, striking after Ye Yuan but arriving first!

A mocking smile hung at the corner of his mouth, as if he already saw Ye Yuan kneeling and begging for mercy.

Yet at the moment the two fists met, Ye Yuan's fist suddenly vanished.

"Bang!"

Tu Gang had been standing upright, but Ye Yuan's punch landed squarely on his temple, knocking him upside down and smashing a hole in the floor.

There were already some customers in the Shura Shop, who upon seeing the conflict, were happy to watch the spectacle. Of course, they were watching Ye Yuan's spectacle.

A newcomer daring to provoke a second-floor Earthly Fiend List expert—this was simply the height of stupidity.

But when they saw the scene before them, they were all stunned.

This newcomer... was too violent!

"Number four hundred and five? He does have some skill, to still keep his corpse intact." Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed.

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, everyone was speechless.

Tu Gang was clearly dead; killing a strong fighter ranked around four hundred on the Earth Fiend List with one punch, and he still wasn't satisfied with that achievement?

Those who mixed in the Shura Field were long accustomed to life and death. They had long been numb to killing.

But a master on the Earth Fiend List being killed with one punch—that scene was still too shocking.

"Now, can I buy this Cangyan Diyang Gold?" Ye Yuan ignored Tu Gang and directly asked the maid.

"You... you really have slaughter points?" The maid finally realized that the young man before her was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

In fact, the Shura Field was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers; who was truly simple?

Those strong fighters ranked high on the Earth Fiend List were all very low-key, but their strength was unfathomable!

These people simply could not be measured by the standards of ordinary martial artists.

The maid would not normally make mistakes in such matters, but Ye Yuan was too young and a newcomer, causing her to overlook many things.

Ye Yuan nodded and took out the Juesha Token.

Those twenty slaughter points had already been transferred to his Juesha Token after his promotion.

The maid checked Ye Yuan's death warrant and couldn't help but look stunned: "Twenty... twenty points! Sir, did you break the bank on the first floor?"

Ye Yuan asked curiously, "What? Is that so hard to believe?"

"No... no! I'll exchange the Cangyan Diyang Gold for you right away!" the maid said hurriedly.

Are you kidding? Even Tu Gang from the second floor was killed instantly; what's so strange about breaking the bank on the first floor?

But the first three floors of this Shura Field are all Tianqi realm martial artists, and those who can survive on the first floor are definitely not weaklings.

It's very difficult to kill others until they dare not enter the arena. Not to mention that Ye Yuan is only at the second level of Tianqi realm.

Soon, the maid deducted fifteen points from Ye Yuan and returned the death warrant to him.

This maid had seen great occasions and had now recovered her composure. She ordered someone to dispose of Tu Gang's corpse, then came before Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Sir is a young hero, able to kill Tu Gang with one punch! However, Tu Gang was not alone on the second floor; he had a good relationship with Lu Licheng, who ranks seventh on the second floor. Sir must be careful after entering the second floor."

Ye Yuan took the death warrant and the Cangyan Diyang Gold, and said with a smile, "Just some clowns jumping around; no need to mind them."

The maid just smiled and said nothing more.

On the turret of the Shura Shop, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes watched Ye Yuan's departing back and said to the woman beside him, "Master, this child's strength is unfathomable. In the next Earthly Fiend List, he might even break into the top ten! What's more astonishing is that his physical body is even stronger than his Yuan power realm! Let him grow for a while, and he might be of some help to our plan."

The 'Master' the man referred to was the maid who had served Ye Yuan.

The man treated her with great respect; this inconspicuous maid actually had an extraordinary identity.

The Master's temperament was now completely different from before, her expression indescribably cold and stern.

"The rules of the Shura Field forbid those on the second floor from killing martial artists on the first floor, but they do not forbid those on the first floor from killing those on the second. This is a loophole, but I'm afraid it's a deliberate flaw left by the master. Yet very few can exploit it. This young man is indeed not simple!" said the Master.

The brocade-clad man nodded and said, "It's not unheard of for a first-floor martial artist to kill a second-floor one, but no one has ever done it as cleanly as he did! And his opponent was someone ranked near four hundred on the Earthly Fiend List!"

The Master said, "This child entered the Shura Field for the first time today and already possesses such strength. He might be a genius disciple trained by some super holy land. We should first investigate his background and identity before making a decision. I'll leave this matter to you."

The brocade-clad man bowed and said, "Yes!"

...

Leaving the Shura Shop, Ye Yuan rented a residence in the Shura Field and began to help the Yuan Magnetic Spirit Wood absorb the Cangyan Diyang Gold.

This Cangyan Diyang Gold contained extremely strong metal-element power. Refined into a holy artifact, it could make a martial artist's attacks more powerful.

However, Ye Yuan had the Star Moon Sword in hand, so he didn't care much about holy artifacts.

But the Yuan Magnetic Spirit Wood, if used well, would definitely be a powerful aid. So he unhesitatingly let the Yuan Magnetic Spirit Wood absorb the metal-element power from the Cangyan Diyang Gold.

While Ye Yuan was refining the Cangyan Diyang Gold, the second floor was already in an uproar.

The news that Tu Gang had been killed by a newcomer spread like wildfire on the second floor. Such an event truly made all martial artists drop their jaws.

Many marveled at the newcomer's formidable strength, but the vast majority still mocked Tu Gang's incompetence.

To survive in the harsh environment of the Shura Field, everyone had extreme confidence. Being killed only showed that Tu Gang lacked strength.

Of course, the one who felt most humiliated was Lu Licheng.

Tu Gang was his subordinate and his capable enforcer. To be killed by a brat from the first floor—this was a slap in the face!

"Have you found out? What exactly is that kid's background?" Tu Gang asked his subordinate with a dark face.

"Found out. That kid entered the Shura Field today and broke the bank on the first floor! Tu Gang had long set his sights on the Cangyan Diyang Gold in the Shura Shop but didn't have enough points. He finally saved up enough points to buy it, only to be killed by this newcomer!"
