Chapter 957: War Soul Awakens!

"Ye Yuan, don't be reckless! I know you're formidable, but with two Dao Profound cultivators, you're no match!" Yue Jianfeng said urgently.

At the Bright Moon Grand Competition, although Ye Yuan had defeated Lin Chao, Lin Chao had only just entered the Dao Profound realm.

With Ye Yuan's strength, defeating one or two Dao Profound cultivators was possible. But taking on six at once, including a Dao Profound Second Layer expert, was definitely out of the question.

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You handle your fight, why worry about so much?"

Yue Jianfeng was taken aback. This kid really was a handful.

Gritting his teeth, he suddenly struck out, aiming straight for the Dao Profound Second Layer cultivator.

But Wang Yao was prepared and sneered, "Your opponent is me!"

He moved and directly engaged Yue Jianfeng.

The two were of similar cultivation levels and comparable strength. Even with his pupil power, Yue Jianfeng would find it difficult to defeat Wang Yao quickly.

Meanwhile, the Dao Profound Second Layer cultivator slowly approached Ye Yuan, sneering, "Kid, don't think that defeating a rookie who just broke through to Dao Profound makes you invincible. Brothers, teach this young friend a good lesson and show him what it means to be an Emperor realm expert!"

These people had all witnessed Ye Yuan killing Lin Chao and were indeed impressed.

But after all, Lin Chao had barely broken through to the Dao Profound realm; there was still a gap compared to a true Dao Profound First Layer cultivator.

Not to mention that there was a Dao Profound Second Layer expert here.

The others immediately surrounded him, but Ye Yuan leisurely stepped back, leaned against a large tree with his arms crossed.

"Hey hey, when did I say I was invincible? Don't get it wrong; your opponent is her, not me." Ye Yuan gestured with his chin toward Yue Mengli.

The group was stunned and turned their gazes to Yue Mengli. The Dao Profound Second Layer cultivator suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha, are you kidding me? Everyone knows that the eldest Miss of the Yue family had an incurable illness. Even if she's cured, she hasn't cultivated properly for years. You want her to fight us?"

"A spineless coward, hiding behind a woman! Miss Yue, can you really fancy such a man?" another sneered.

Admittedly, these men still maintained a certain respect for Yue Mengli.

Yue Mengli's beauty was like that of a celestial goddess, not to be defiled.

But Ye Yuan's behavior made them feel that a flower was planted in cow dung.

Yue Mengli said indifferently, "You... are not worthy for Brother Yuan to make a move."

The men exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.

"Haha, Miss Yue is joking. With just you, you're no match for us. Such a man isn't worth your trust."

"Yes, Miss Yue, you'd better leave quickly. We rough men might hurt your beautiful face if we start fighting."

"Miss Yue, this kid puts on airs but makes you charge ahead. Dump him! Hahaha!"

Meanwhile, Yue Jianfeng, locked in a fierce battle with Wang Yao, was also keeping an eye on the situation.

Seeing Ye Yuan retreat to the sidelines, he grew anxious, "Ye Yuan, stop messing around! Li'er's body has just recovered, and she hasn't trained in a long time. She's no match for them!"

Wang Yao laughed, "Yue Jianfeng, your opponent is me. Let them settle things down there! Haha! Don't worry, Miss Yue is the jewel of the Yue family; they won't harm her. But that kid... well, that's another story."

Wang Yao knew the power of the Yue Hua Heavenly Eye, so he only entangled Yue Jianfeng without fighting to the death.

Once his men killed Ye Yuan and took Yue Mengli hostage, wouldn't Yue Jianfeng have to comply?

Wang Yao also knew the Yue family's might, so he had devised a foolproof plan before leaving. This way, although he offended the Yue family, it wouldn't be irreconcilable.

But if he killed Yue Mengli, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if he obtained the spiritual spring, facing the Yue family's pursuit across the land, he would have no chance of survival.

Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear to Yue Jianfeng's roar and said calmly, "Hey, you guys, don't say I didn't warn you. If you underestimate Li'er, you'll pay with your lives!"

Ye Yuan looked completely at ease, showing no worry for Yue Mengli.

"Heh, since Miss Yue is so formidable, we brothers would like to test her skills. Quansheng, go and meet Miss Yue!" the Dao Profound Second Layer cultivator said mockingly.

"Alright! Miss Yue, I, Quan, will take liberties!"

The Dao Profound First Layer cultivator named Quansheng cracked his knuckles, looking as if he had Yue Mengli in the bag.

He reached out and grabbed, forming a huge claw of condensed primal energy that shot toward Yue Mengli with terrifying force.

Any martial artist who could reach the Dao Profound realm was no slouch. Even Lin Chao, compared to Quansheng, would be about evenly matched.

A seasoned Dao Profound First Layer cultivator was not so easily defeated.

Crossing levels to defeat a Dao Profound martial artist was something only a very few could accomplish.

At least in the eyes of others, Yue Mengli was incapable of such a feat.

But at that moment, Yue Mengli's gentle demeanor suddenly changed. A sharp aura surged into the sky!

Behind Yue Mengli, a massive phantom appeared!

This phantom was identical to Yue Mengli, but its temperament was completely different. The phantom's expression was very cold, and it exuded a powerful battle intent.

That phantom seemed born for battle!

"Dharma Manifestation! Impossible!"

Everyone stared at the phantom in shock. Quansheng's claw strike seemed laughable before this Dharma Manifestation!

"Chi..."

Yue Mengli pointed a finger, and the Dharma Manifestation behind her also pointed a finger!

A sharp white beam tore through the air, shattering the claw Quansheng had condensed.

"Boom!"

Before Quansheng could even scream, he was blasted to pieces by the white beam.

This Dharma Manifestation was too powerful!

"Hiss..."

The remaining martial artists retreated several steps, all frightened by what they had just witnessed.

A seasoned Dao Profound First Layer cultivator couldn't even withstand a single finger strike and was instantly annihilated!

Hadn't the eldest Miss of the Yue family not cultivated for over a decade? How could she be this strong?

Even Yue Jianfeng and Wang Yao stopped fighting, staring in disbelief.

Neither of them had expected that the always frail eldest Miss of the Yue family possessed such formidable strength!

"Tsk tsk, the innate war soul constitution truly lives up to its reputation! This is not a Dharma Manifestation, but Li'er's innate war soul! After lying dormant for so many years, she has finally awakened!"

Ye Yuan gazed at the massive figure, full of admiration.
