Gao Yuan was very pleased with himself when he saw the changes on everyone's faces.
Just now was just a major setback due to carelessness. As long as he was more careful, he did not fear those fiends in the slightest too.
Get him to thank Ye Yuan, no chance!
"Utterly shameless!' Zheng Qi said furiously.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Head Elder, you don't need to get angry. A gentleman is open and poised, a villain is calculative and worries about personal gains and losses. Let him be."
Ye Yuan understood that Gao Yuan this kind of person was a wicked-hearted person.
His own heart was dark, looking at others was naturally dark too.
No matter how good you were to him, he would also find a reason to lay out your faults.
Toward this kind of person, best to stay far away.
Of course, if there was a chance, Ye Yuan did not mind entrapping him and take revenge for Zheng Qi's master.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, a large group of dark shadows rushed over, and just happened to block this party. They were precisely the fiend race powerhouses who left and returned.
Di En said in a cold voice, "This kid indeed has some means, even the Soul Devouring Devil Cloud Formation couldn't trap him! Luckily, we came back in time, otherwise, there would really be no end to future troubles!"
The expressions of the human powerhouses changed drastically. They had just broken out of the grand array. Right now, their condition was not good, did not expect that the fiend race powerhouses actually left and returned.
Furthermore, this time, it was their first time seeing the fiend race powerhouses' lineup, which gave them a big fright.
The fiend race's side could be said to have powerhouses plentiful as clouds!
Just in terms of numbers, it was several dozen more than their side!
Furthermore, the fiend race's high-level combat power was also much more compared to the human race's.
Just third-layered heaven Fiend Lord powerhouses, they had over a dozen people.
This line-up made the human powerhouses feel despair.
Heavenstar looked at Ye Yuan and said with a sinister smile, "Kid, didn't expect it, right? That we'd still have a day where we meet again!"
Actually, Ye Yuan had long seen Heavenstar through the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. Meeting at this time was not too surprising.
A hint of a smile curled up at the corners of Ye Yuan's mouth and he said, "Looking at your appearance, your resentment is a lot!"
Heavenstar was triggered by Ye Yuan's smile and exploded, "What do you think? The precious treasure on your, this old man will definitely take it back today! Additionally, this old man's Profound Yellow Cauldron and your life, this old man will also accept it!"
Di En also said coldly, "In this world, there has yet to be anyone who dares to play tricks on our Blood Yama Hall! Source Night brat, you're very bold!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "If you have the capabilities, feel free to come and take!"
Heavenstar sneered and said, "Kill for me! Leave no one behind!"
The group of powerhouses was just about to make a move when Gao Yuan suddenly roared, "Hold on!"
Heavenstar's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Quickly spit out what you have!"
Gao Yuan's expression could not help turning stiff, and he endured his anger and said in a solemn voice, "You guys have a grudge with this brat, and this old man also has a grudge with this punk! Everybody came to Fiend Calling Ridge for the treasure that was born. Currently, the path ahead is still uncertain. Everybody should work together. We'll hand this brat to you guys, then search for the treasure together. As for who gets the treasure, each relies on their own means! What do you all think?"
Zheng Qi's expression changed greatly when he heard that and said furiously, "Gao Yuan! You actually want to play jackal to the tiger and sell out your friend for personal gains!"
Chapter 1624 - Variant Deboning Great Rat
Heavenstar and Di En exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a hint of cunningness.
These human powerhouses were indeed a pile of loose sand!
Heavenstar said, "Huhu, this suggestion is not bad! But, in order to express your sincerity, you all have to take this punk down first."
The moment these words came out, everyone's faces revealed hesitation looks.
They had also seen through things. Ye Yuan had significant enmity with these fiend race powerhouses.
If handing over could gloss things over and stay on good terms, everyone going for the treasure together, that would be for the best.
Zheng Qi immediately blocked in front of Ye Yuan. Unsheathing a long sword, he said in a cold voice, "Whoever dares to touch Ye Yuan, step over from this old man's corpse! Gao Yuan, even if this old man dies together, I'll also drag you into the water!"
Gao Yuan laughed coldly and said, "Then you get buried together with him then! Everyone saw it too. The fiends are overwhelming in numbers and can't be overcome with force. Everyone, take Ye Yuan down first!"
Zheng Qi looked towards Ling Zikun and said in a cold voice, "Ling Zikun, what's the meaning of this? We kindly came to assist you, but you're going to carry out the hospitality of a host like this?"
Ling Zikun let out a sigh and said, "Brother Zheng Qi, this kid has already become the target of public censure, why must you be buried together with him? As long as we hand him over, everybody can get along peacefully."
Ling Zikun's impression of Ye Yuan was not very good.
Being egged on by Gao Yuan at this time, plus being compelled by the circ.u.mstances, him changing side was also something within reason.
However, what made Ye Yuan somewhat surprised was that at this time, his disciple, Gu Han, suddenly said, "Master, without Ye Yuan, we couldn't even get down the natural chasm. Just now, he saved everyone's lives too! As the host, if we show ingratitude for kindness like this, unless all the people here today die, otherwise, who would still dare to cooperate with our River Eternal Imperial City in the future?"
Ling Zikun's expression changed and sure enough, started to somewhat hesitate.
Gao Yuan gave a cold snort and said, "Junior, it isn't your turn to speak here! Ling Zikun, coming down here, everyone is just using each other! This kid bringing us down is merely wanting to rely on our strength. There isn't any ungratefulness or treachery!"
Ling Zikun was caught in the middle, his face had a difficult look.
The fiend race powerhouses opposite were immediately dumbstruck with astonishment, all exchanging glances.
This kind of situation was what they completely did not expect.
The Soul Devouring Devil Cloud Formation did not make these people slaughter each other. They did not expect that they schemed against each other and started to fight in the nest now.
Ye Yuan who had been silent all along suddenly opened his mouth and said, "If I were you all, I'd worry about myself first!"
Gao Yuan sneered and said, "Punk, you're trying to scare this old man? This kind of method, this old man has stopped playing more than 100 thousand years ago!"
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and did not have the intention of explaining.
But in the next instant, a series of scurrying sounds suddenly came over.
Everyone's faces changed. Turning to look, their scalps involuntarily tingled.
There was a large stretch of darkness all around, with no end in sight. They were already surrounded by a large group of rats!
These rats were all incomparably huge. Furthermore, the numbers were extremely high.
These rats' auras were not very powerful, only having the aura of rank three divine beasts. But such a large number made them feel in despair.
"Deboning Great Rat! These are Deboning Great Rats! We … We got caught in a rat tide!" Gao Yuan cried out sharply.
His voice was too high, resulting in becoming somewhat squeaking. Clearly, he had also fallen into immense terror in his heart.
Deboning Great Rats were very ferocious savage beasts. Places that they passed through, not a blade of grass lived.
Encountering living things, they would definitely chomp until not even bone residue remained; hence, the name.
Those Deboning Great Rats' eyes emitted rays of red light in the gloomy darkness, giving people a very sinister feeling.
Everyone felt goosebumps breaking out all over, seemingly smelling the scent of death.
"It's over, it's over! I … I don't want to die here!"
"What to do? Heard that encountering Deboning Great Rats, there's absolutely no reason to survive!"
"Why? Why is it that under such a powerful forcefield, there is still Deboning Great Rats, this kind of powerful existence, existing?"
...
The human's side was panicking and already in a fl.u.s.tered mess.
One scream of horror after another revealed the despair in their hearts.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "You guys enjoy it well. This little lord won't accompany you all to play any longer!"
Finished talking, there was a spatial laws undulation. Ye Yuan brought Zheng Qi and the rest and directly flew into the air.
When everyone saw this scene, their eyeballs almost popped out.
Heavenstar and Di En looked at Ye Yuan with incomparable shock and exclaimed, "Spatial laws! He actually really comprehended spatial laws! This brat's talent is truly too terrifying!"
Heavenstar knew that Ye Yuan drew parallels from inference, and understood a bit of superficial spatial laws.
But now, for Ye Yuan to be able to fly in the air under this kind of powerful forcefield, it showed that his spatial laws comprehension was already very remarkable.
How could this discovery not alarm him?
One had to know, Ye Yuan was a guy who could trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody.
Not only was this kid's Alchemy Dao heaven-defying, but now, he also stepped onto a very terrifying road in Martial Dao.
This was not good news to them.
Gao Yuan revealed a fierce look and said in a solemn voice, "Want to go?! How can it be that easy!"
Gao Yuan released his aura and was about to smack towards the Ye Yuan and co. in the air.
But his aura made those Deboning Great Rats thoroughly erupt.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The massive rat tide swallowed the people up frenziedly.
Gao Yuan had yet to have time to launch the attack and was already utterly engulfed by the frenzied rat tide.
At his prime, he naturally came and went freely in this rat tide.
But now, his realm was heavily suppressed, his strength greatly discounted.
Facing these powerful Deboning Great Rats, he also felt rather taxed.
The claws of Deboning Great Rats were extremely sharp. Furthermore, their skin and fur were extremely tough.
Even if one came out alone, challenging an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse by itself was no problem at all, let alone such a terrifying number.
"Charge out in one go! If we get trapped here, there's only death!" Gao Yuan roared wildly.
The current Gao Yuan crisscrossed with sword energy, holding it in and rushed inside with a burst of power.
His strength was powerful, the others immediately followed behind him without prior agreement, breaking through towards inside.
The fiend race powerhouses also could not care about opposing the humans at this time, all sparing no effort to fight with the Deboning Great Rats.
But very soon, they discovered something amiss.
These Deboning Great Rats were not ordinary Deboning Great Rats at all!
These Deboning Great Rats' bodies carried a strange forcefield. Furthermore, they could even respond and cooperate with each other across a great distance, making those martial artists' footsteps become heavy.
"These are all variants of Deboning Great Rats! It's over, with this, it's thoroughly over!" Someone exclaimed.
Puchi!
A sharp claw directly tore that martial artist's throat.
Then, a large group of huge rats rushed up. He no longer made a sound.
Below was bathed in blood, but Ye Yuan and the others flew in the air very leisurely.
The more Zheng Qi looked below, the more struck with horror he became.
This rat tide simply had no end in sight.
In this long while that they flew, they actually had not seen the edge yet!
Chapter 1625 - Combat Strength That Astonished the World!
Splash!
As soon as they landed, Gu Han directly knelt down and kowtowed toward Ye Yuan.
"Elder Ye, I beg you, save Master!" Gu Han said with red eyes.
When they came out earlier, Ye Yuan also brought Gu Han along conveniently.
Being able to say those words at that time showed that this kid's nature was not bad. It was just that he was too arrogant and willful in the past, that was why he would argue a point to death.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "Your River Eternal Imperial City engages in close combat with fiend race territories and should be the most hostile. But when Ling Zikun encountered the fiend race, he actually still wanted to pretend to be polite and compliant. This kind of person, why should I save him?"
Not that Ye Yuan had a heart of stone, but that he really had enough of these people's shamelessness.
Gu Han gritted his teeth and said, "Master has shown great kindness to me. I can't watch him die here unfeelingly! Elder Ye … If Elder Ye doesn't save him, I'll rush back!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "You go back then. I only saved you conveniently. If you seek death yourself, can I still stop you?"
Gu Han's blood surged, suddenly standing up, and rushed over to that side.
But he had not walked a few steps when countless dark-red eyes swept over toward him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A large group of Deboning Great Rats rushed over toward him!
Gu Han seemed to have been splashed by a basin of cold water, his entire body feeling penetratingly cold.
At the same time, a powerful force field instantly enveloped him, making him unable to move a muscle.
Origin Deity Realms were simply too weak here.
Plop!
Gu Han took a few steps back in fright but was stumbled by a rock.
"H-Help!"
A figure flashed, a sharp edge appeared!
Puu, puu, puu …
With a single sword move, those variant Deboning Great Rats were directly cut into two!
Ye Yuan stood with a sword, his back turned to Gu Han as he said coolly, "Still want to go back?"
Gu Han's head shook like a rattling drum, frightened until he kept trembling.
Only at this time did he truly realize how great the gap between him and Ye Yuan was.
When he encountered these fierce beasts, he did not even have the courage to attack.
But Ye Yuan killed them as easy as taking something out of his pocket!
Him going back was no different from courting death.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
More and more variant Deboning Great Rats were drawn by this side, rushing over to this side.
Ye Yuan's sword moved agilely, like a harvester, willfully reaping these Deboning Great Rats' lives. There was no enemy who could last one exchange at all.
"Relax, those few old fellows are each more shrewd than the last, each with a foundation deeper than the other. Although these Deboning Great Rats are powerful, wanting to kill them is probably still a little lacking," Ye Yuan said indifferently as he brandished his sword.
Not just Gu Han, it was also Zheng Qi and Heavenly Eagle's people's first time seeing Ye Yuan make a move. They were similarly incomparably shocked in their hearts.
Ye Yuan avoided Gu Han's attacks with spatial laws and did not really make a move.
But now, they finally knew how powerful Ye Yuan was!
If Ye Yuan made a move back then, Gu Han prob
ably could not even receive one move and would be insta-killed!
"Turns out that Elder Ye wasn't powerful in spatial laws. His truly formidable aspect is on fusion of laws!"
"To be able to fuse Sword Dao laws and spatial laws to this extent, Elder Ye is truly a genius among geniuses! This is even harder than solely comprehending spatial laws!"
"Very clearly, Elder Ye still has plenty more in his sack! Really don't know how powerful his strength will be if he goes all out!"
...
Originally, when everyone saw Ye Yuan make a move, they still had the intention of going forward to help.
But looking at it now, they did not need to take action at all.
Those Deboning Great Rats could not approach him at all!
These variant Deboning Great Rats were existences that even Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were very fearful of. Ye Yuan was actually like in his own backyard.
In a blink, Ye Yuan slew hundreds of Deboning Great Rats, but he was still calm and composed, unable to see the slightest hint of disorderly aura.
Suddenly, an enormous Deboning Great Rat dashed out of the huge rat swarm, turning into a stream of flowing light and charged straight for Ye Yuan.
"Ye Yuan, careful! This is a rank four fierce beast!" Zheng Qi cried out.
Finished talking, he was about to make a move to go help Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, "None of you move! What I was waiting for was it!"
Everyone exchanged glances, eyes full of disbelief.
Facing a rank four Deboning Great Rat, Ye Yuan did not retreat, but advanced instead, raising his sword and rushing over toward it.
At this time, Ye Yuan's aura skyrocketed, sword energy wispy and ethereal, shuttling back and forth in space.
Ye Yuan's Sword Dao laws had long broken through to fourth-layered heaven in the spatial inheritance!
Fourth-layered heaven Sword Dao laws fused with second-layered heaven spatial laws, this was unprecedented.
Its power had now reached the time to test it out!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ye Yuan's sword energy intersected with the Deboning Great Rat's sharp claws in midair. Spiritual energy fluctuated, blasting those Deboning Great Rats flying out.
