Chapter 1109: You Cheated!

Clearly, the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo was on the verge of eruption.

Ye Yuan's insincere promise had exhausted his last shred of patience.

However, Ye Yuan remained utterly unconcerned by his attitude, merely smiling faintly. "Senior, please don't be angry first. Even if you kill me, it won't do you any good. But if you let me go, within ten years, I will surely present you with the Five-Colored Xitu. What do you think of this deal, senior?"

The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo said in a deep voice, "That fellow's strength is on par with mine. Back then, the three of us expended considerable effort to drive him back. A brat like you, whose hair hasn't even grown in, dares to boast like that? Aren't you afraid of knocking your teeth out?"

"Don't bully the young, senior! How do you know that in ten years, I won't be a match for Zhuge Qingxuan?"

Ye Yuan's face was calm, revealing a deep confidence.

He admitted that Zhuge Qingxuan was strong, very strong, perhaps even the strongest in the Divine Realm.

But Ye Yuan had confidence that within ten years, he could catch up to him, even surpass him!

With the Haotian Stele and the Soul-Calming Pearl, if Ye Yuan still couldn't surpass Zhuge Qingxuan, then he, as the Son of Fate, would be utterly worthless.

Seeing Ye Yuan's composed demeanor, for some reason, the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo believed him for a fleeting moment.

Because the confidence Ye Yuan displayed was completely different from that of an arrogant braggart.

It was the confidence of a strong man!

Every world-shaking expert possesses such calm and composed confidence.

"Hmph! Easy to say. Let me see what skills you have to dare such big talk! I'll strike with fifty percent of my power. If you can withstand it, I'll agree to your terms!" The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo snorted coldly.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Senior, please go ahead!"

Seeing Ye Yuan's relaxed demeanor, the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo felt a flicker of doubt.

But he was, after all, a peerless expert, and would not go easy because of that doubt.

For a strong man like him, even fifty percent of his power was not something an ordinary Void Xuan expert could withstand.

Fifty percent of his strength was enough to easily kill an expert of Zhao Lingdong's level.

In the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo's view, even if Ye Yuan had a divine artifact, it was absolutely impossible for him to block this strike.

The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo simply couldn't fathom where Ye Yuan's confidence came from!

The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo slowly extended a finger. Suddenly, a bolt of thunder descended from the sky, like the might of a heavenly tribulation.

"Punishment Thunder!" The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo slowly uttered these four words.

Although it was only fifty percent of his power, the might of this thunderbolt was a hundred times greater than the tribulation Ye Yuan had faced!

Seeing that finger, Ye Yuan's pupils constricted sharply.

If fifty percent power had such might, what would a hundred percent be like? Could it destroy the world?

The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo's reputation was indeed well-deserved.

In the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the thunderbolt descended from the sky, striking straight at Ye Yuan!

But somehow, a wooden stick had appeared in Ye Yuan's hand.

The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo was quite satisfied with his Punishment Thunder and was leisurely waiting to see how Ye Yuan would handle it.

But when he saw the wooden stick in Ye Yuan's hand, his expression changed drastically.

"Yuanci Spirit Wood! This kid actually has Yuanci Spirit Wood!" The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo exclaimed.

A faint smile flickered at the corner of Ye Yuan's mouth, and he directly thrust the Yuanci Spirit Wood into the soil.

The terrifying thunderbolt fell straight toward Ye Yuan's head, but just as it was about to strike him, it strangely deviated slightly and landed on the Yuanci Spirit Wood!

"Zzz..."

There was no earth-shattering explosion. Instead, the Yuanci Spirit Wood blazed with light, as if joyful.

Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Thank you for the thunder, senior. My Yuanci Spirit Wood was on the verge of a breakthrough. With this thunderbolt from you, breaking through to the mid-ninth rank should be enough."

Last time, when Ye Yuan underwent his tribulation, the Yuanci Spirit Wood had also absorbed a large amount of origin power and successfully broken through to the ninth rank.

Just now, as the Punishment Thunder was about to strike Ye Yuan, the Yuanci Spirit Wood instantly absorbed it, greedily devouring the lightning power.

The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo was a heavenly spirit with extremely strong lightning attributes, and its own realm was far above that of the Yuanci Spirit Wood.

Although it was only a casual strike from the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo, the energy contained within it was extremely powerful.

The Yuanci Spirit Wood had already been on the verge of a breakthrough, and with this thunderbolt, it quickly advanced to the mid-ninth rank.

"Kid, you cheated!" The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo said darkly.

He had never expected Ye Yuan to have such a trump card.

If Ye Yuan had used any other treasure, the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo was confident that his strike would have shattered it, even if it were a divine artifact.

But only the Yuanci Spirit Wood, also a heavenly spirit, could completely absorb his lightning power!

Because this thunderbolt was not a devastating attack for the Yuanci Spirit Wood, but the best nourishment.

That was precisely why Ye Yuan had dared to accept the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo's condition.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't say anything. It was you, senior, who wanted to test my strength. Besides, you didn't say I couldn't use the Yuanci Spirit Wood, did you?"

The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo was momentarily speechless, left without a retort.

He felt as if he had completely fallen into a trap set by Ye Yuan.

It seemed this kid had been setting him up from the very beginning.

If he had known, he would have just struck him down directly instead of wasting words.

Although the strike had been absorbed by the Yuanci Spirit Wood, it didn't mean Ye Yuan was truly immune to the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo.

Ye Yuan had caught him off guard, only revealing the Yuanci Spirit Wood at the last moment, leaving the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo no time to react.

The Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo had also underestimated Ye Yuan, leading to this outcome.

If he had fully controlled that strike, even with the Yuanci force field, Ye Yuan would have been severely injured.

"Hahaha, Violet Bamboo, you can't even handle a little brat. How embarrassing!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the void, laughing heartily.

A massive figure slowly emerged from the void. It resembled an ox but had only one horn.

Ye Yuan immediately judged that this must be the Unicorn Cloud Beast, one of the three kings.

Hearing the laughter, the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo's face darkened to the extreme.

Ye Yuan had made him lose all face.

"Squeak squeak, this is hilarious! A mighty king, fooled by a human brat."

Another voice sounded, and a giant rat burst out from underground, mocking the Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo.

Ye Yuan's heart sank with despair. The three kings of the sixth layer had all gathered at once!

One Thunderstrike Violet Bamboo was already extremely difficult to deal with. With three appearing at once, how could he escape?

Ye Yuan's mind raced, desperately seeking a way out.
