Chapter 1117: Battle Against Zhao Lingdong!

At the entrance from the fourth floor to the fifth, three figures sat cross-legged, along with a dog.

These three were naturally Mo Datong and Mo Santong of the Three Freaks of Moling, and Zhao Lingdong.

They had been waiting there for over a month, but Ye Yuan had yet to appear.

Mo Datong was now extremely agitated, unable to resist pacing back and forth, occasionally glancing at the exit.

“The half-year mark is almost here. Could this brat really want to die inside?” Mo Datong said coldly.

Each time the Blood Rain Wasteland’s passage opened, it lasted only half a year. Once the half-year was up, the passage would automatically close, and the restrictions would activate, killing all outsiders who did not belong to the Blood Rain Wasteland.

Seeing the half-year mark approaching bit by bit, Mo Datong was burning with anxiety.

Although he very much hoped Ye Yuan would die inside, he still couldn’t rest easy without seeing Ye Yuan’s corpse.

Zhao Lingdong, however, was much calmer than him. He said indifferently, “You should be happy that Ye Yuan isn’t coming out! Even if he rushed at full speed, it would take him about ten days to get from here to the first floor! As long as we wait until the last ten days, he won’t be able to escape even if he had wings!”

But Mo Datong showed no joy at all; instead, he stomped his foot in anger and said, “Not being able to kill that brat with my own hands is truly frustrating!”

Mo Santong also gritted his teeth and said, “That brat killed Second Brother. Not being able to avenge Second Brother with my own hands is unsatisfying!”

Zhao Lingdong’s face turned cold and he said, “Hmph! Don’t forget, what is the purpose of coming here? You are here to kill the Son of Heaven’s Mandate, not to avenge Mo’ertong! Compared to you, I trust the restriction power of the Blood Rain Wasteland more! This restriction power killing him is far more reliable than us making a move!”

Having been undercover in the Holy City for many years, Zhao Lingdong was all too familiar with the restriction power of the Blood Rain Wasteland.

Even an existence like Zhuge Qingxuan would be directly obliterated if he didn’t come out within half a year, let alone a mere Ji Qingyun.

There were only three days left until the ten-day deadline. After three more days, even if Ye Yuan had heaven-defying abilities, he couldn’t escape.

Mo Datong’s face darkened, and he was about to retort when suddenly a terrifying wave of energy erupted from deep within the Blood Rain Wasteland!

Suddenly, two beams of light shot out from the void.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Before Mo Datong and Mo Santong could understand what was happening, they were directly blasted into dust!

Seeing this, Zhao Lingdong’s eyes bulged wide, unable to believe what had just happened.

The change was too sudden, causing even Zhao Lingdong’s mind to short-circuit, completely at a loss as to what had occurred.

He could be certain that the two beams of light just now were definitely not the restriction power of the Blood Rain Wasteland.

But if not the restriction power, who else had such great divine ability to instantly kill two Void Xuan powerhouses like Mo Datong and Mo Santong?

“Gulp…”

Zhao Lingdong couldn’t help swallowing his saliva, feeling as if his scalp was about to explode.

He could clearly sense that if those two beams of light had struck him, his fate would have been exactly the same as the Mo brothers!

“Swoosh, swoosh…”

Having lost their masters, the two divine artifacts directly fled through the void.

Zhao Lingdong couldn’t help stepping back two paces. He wanted to flee!

But flee like this?

There were still three days left; perhaps Ye Yuan would appear at this moment?

As if to confirm his thoughts, the void rippled, and a figure materialized.

This person was looking at him with a half-smile. Who else could it be but Ye Yuan?

Zhao Lingdong shuddered, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.

Ye Yuan had not come out through the teleportation array but had directly traversed the void!

This… how was this possible?

Without the Lingxi Destruction Mirror, how had Ye Yuan done it?

“What, surprised to see me?” Ye Yuan said with a half-smile.

Zhao Lingdong’s mind was in complete chaos. He suddenly thought of a legend about the Blood Rain Wasteland in the Holy City.

Legend had it that beneath the seventh floor of the Blood Rain Wasteland, a terrifying existence was sealed.

That terrifying existence was the true master of the Blood Rain Wasteland!

Back then, Zhuge Qingxuan had fought his way to the sixth floor of the Blood Rain Wasteland, hoping to meet that legendary existence and seek a chance at godhood.

But he had returned in defeat on the sixth floor.

Could it be that Ye Yuan had actually gone down to the seventh floor?

Zhao Lingdong was startled by his own thought; it was simply impossible.

But aside from that existence on the seventh floor, who else had the ability to let Ye Yuan traverse the void directly?

Zhao Lingdong forcibly suppressed the urge to flee and asked somewhat guiltily, “You… how did you manage to traverse the void?”

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Want to know? Fight me, and if you win, I’ll tell you.”

Zhao Lingdong’s face darkened, wondering where Ye Yuan got his confidence.

If it were before, he would have scoffed at Ye Yuan’s actions.

Although Ye Yuan’s strength was decent, facing the combined force of him and Ao Tian, he had no chance of winning!

But having witnessed the bizarre deaths of Mo Datong and Mo Santong, and Ye Yuan’s strange appearance, Zhao Lingdong felt uncertain.

“What if… I don’t fight you?”

As he said this, Zhao Lingdong felt extremely aggrieved.

But he always felt that Ye Yuan had some kind of backing!

It wasn’t that he thought Ye Yuan was that strong, but those two beams of light just now made him deeply wary.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan shrugged and smiled, “You can try! I spared your life to use you as a whetstone for my sword.”

Zhao Lingdong’s heart skipped a beat. So that was it!

Those two beams of light definitely had the power to kill him.

But they had only killed Mo Datong and Mo Santong, who possessed divine artifacts, leaving him alive, seemingly just to serve as a whetstone for Ye Yuan’s sword!

Thinking of this, Zhao Lingdong no longer harbored any illusions.

Those two overwhelmingly powerful beams of light were no joke!

If he tried to escape, he would surely die!

With this in mind, Zhao Lingdong let out a cold laugh and looked at Ye Yuan, saying, “Do you think that breaking through a minor realm makes you invincible? With your current strength, do you really intend to take on both me and Ao Tian alone?”

At this moment, Ye Yuan had indeed broken through a minor realm, advancing from Dao Xuan Fourth Layer to Dao Xuan Fifth Layer.

Although Ao Tian the Divine Hound had lost one wing to Ye Yuan, its strength remained, only its speed was greatly impaired.

If it came to a positional battle, the impact of speed would be negligible.

With his and Ao Tian’s默契配合, dealing with a Dao Xuan Fifth Layer martial artist would be a piece of cake, wouldn’t it?

Zhao Lingdong had been famous for over a thousand years and had never been so underestimated!

Had this brat already forgotten his experience of being hunted before?

In just over a month, could this brat have made some heaven-defying progress?

He, Zhao Lingdong, simply refused to believe it!

Ye Yuan, however, calmly drew the Zhuxie Divine Sword and said with a light laugh, “Indeed! What of it if it’s one against two?”
