Chapter 1637: Great Revenge Achieved

"Gao Yuan, get out here!" Zheng Qi roared.

He had just succeeded with a move, sending Gao Yuan flying.

But who would have thought that the guy would roll on the ground and disappear!

Zheng Qi knew the man was hiding nearby, but no matter how he searched, he couldn't find Gao Yuan's trace, and he grew increasingly anxious.

Time was running out for him; once his body could no longer bear the strain, he would become extremely weak.

At that point, he would be at the mercy of others.

Zheng Qi felt his life force ebbing away, his body gradually weakening, no longer as formidable as before.

He inwardly cursed his own incompetence for failing to seize such a good opportunity.

Zheng Qi knew he could not linger any longer, or Gao Yuan would turn the tables and kill him.

Gritting his teeth, he moved swiftly, retreating along the path he had come.

But at that moment, Gao Yuan suddenly appeared ahead, blocking his way.

"Hehe, weren't you trying to kill me? Why the rush to leave?" Gao Yuan sneered at Zheng Qi.

The moment Zheng Qi saw Gao Yuan, he flew into a rage and immediately thrust his sword forward, shouting, "Where do you think you're running!"

But as soon as he moved, Gao Yuan flickered and disappeared again.

Zheng Qi's expression changed; he finally realized that Gao Yuan was deliberately stalling for time.

But realizing it was useless; ever since entering this terrain, he had been unable to locate Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan's concealment skills were formidable; Zheng Qi simply couldn't find him.

Zheng Qi pushed his speed to the limit, trying to shake off Gao Yuan, but now their roles seemed reversed—Gao Yuan clung to him like a shadow but refused to engage.

Suddenly, Zheng Qi's head spun, and he stumbled, nearly falling.

A grim smile flickered across Gao Yuan's lips as he struck out with a palm like lightning.

"Bang!"

Zheng Qi was sent flying sideways, blood spraying from his mouth.

By now, Zheng Qi had burned too much of his lifespan and essence blood; he was extremely weak, and his previous injuries flared up again, leaving him almost unable to move.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan sneered, "Zheng boy, you're still too green to fight me! Even Wu Xingtang couldn't defeat me, how could you possibly win?"

Zheng Qi spat out a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth, "Despicable!"

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Despicable? Heh, the victor is king, the loser a bandit! Wu Xintang wasn't despicable, and he's long turned to dust; I am despicable, and now I'm the Great Elder of Zhining Imperial City! And now, you're going to vanish like your dead master! Hahaha..."

Zheng Qi couldn't muster any strength now.

He knew he was doomed.

Gao Yuan let out a sinister laugh and struck a palm toward Zheng Qi.

Suddenly, Gao Yuan's expression changed drastically; an extremely dangerous feeling washed over him.

Instinctively, Gao Yuan used the last of his strength to shift sideways.

"Boom!"

A black mountain fell abruptly from the sky, shaking the entire abyss with its echo.

"Ah! My legs!"

Then, a piercing scream resounded through the abyss.

Gao Yuan clutched his thigh, sweat beading on his forehead as he wailed in agony.

He had dodged in time to avoid the vital parts, but the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain fell too fast; he couldn't evade completely and had both legs crushed.

Now his legs were completely gone, and the intense pain nearly suffocated him.

He desperately tried to channel his divine essence to repair his body, but it was useless.

The magnetic laws of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain were too strong, denying him any chance of recovery.

Ye Yuan walked out slowly, glanced coldly at Gao Yuan, and said flatly, "Not bad, quick reflexes!"

Gao Yuan stared at Ye Yuan in terror, his face pale as he gasped for air.

"You... how are you so fast?" Gao Yuan asked in fear.

In his view, Ye Yuan should still be refining the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain; how could he have finished so quickly?

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "That's none of your concern. What you should worry about now is how to repay your debts."

Gao Yuan's face was extremely ugly; his mind raced, trying to find a way out of the desperate situation.

"I... I was just trying to survive! Zheng Qi... he went mad and insisted on killing me!" Gao Yuan gritted his teeth.

Ye Yuan went to Zheng Qi's side, examined him, and frowned deeply.

"Great Elder, you're too reckless! Revenge isn't about risking your life; what's the point of mutual destruction?"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan's fingers moved rapidly, staunching the flow of Zheng Qi's life force.

Zheng Qi, however, looked relieved and said, "You... you don't know, my master was as kind to me as a mountain! This was a golden opportunity, I... I didn't want to miss it. Don't bother; I know my body, it's hopeless! You... you avenge me!"

Ye Yuan took out a few pills and stuffed them into Zheng Qi's mouth, saying calmly, "With me here, you won't die! Revenge is always more satisfying when you do it yourself."

As the pills entered his stomach, a warm current surged up, and Zheng Qi's spirits improved considerably.

Zheng Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Th... third-tier pills, how can they have such effects?"

He was shocked; at his current level, third-tier pills should have been completely ineffective.

But Ye Yuan's pills actually worked on him!

Ye Yuan smiled, "The pills I gave you are all Void Spirit Divine-grade, replenishing essence and energy. They won't fully restore you, but for now, you should be out of danger."

Watching from not far away, Gao Yuan was stunned beyond words.

Void Spirit Divine-grade pills were almost legendary, yet Ye Yuan had taken out a handful!

Using third-tier divine pills to suppress a fourth-tier cultivator's injuries—only Ye Yuan would dare and could do such a thing.

Gao Yuan was utterly despairing; his legs were completely crushed, and his aura was extremely weak.

But his will to survive was fierce; he didn't want to die here.

So he crawled with his hands, trying to escape.

Ye Yuan, however, ignored him and said to Zheng Qi, "How is it? Can you stand?"

Zheng Qi looked up at Ye Yuan and nodded, "Yes!"

Ye Yuan smiled, helped Zheng Qi up, and slowly walked toward Gao Yuan.

Seeing Gao Yuan's miserable state, Zheng Qi felt immense satisfaction.

"Ha... haha, you old bastard, did you ever think this day would come? Over sixty thousand years! I've waited over sixty thousand years for this day!" Zheng Qi laughed through the pain.

Gao Yuan, in utter despair, cried out, "Zheng... Brother Zheng, I was wrong! Please... please spare me!"

Zheng Qi sneered, "Spare you? Then who will spare my master?"

Ye Yuan handed the Junyi Sword to Zheng Qi, who looked at him gratefully and thrust the sword forward.

"Pfft!"

Gao Yuan's pupils gradually dilated, his life fading rapidly until he was still.

Zheng Qi wept with joy, looking up to the sky and crying, "Master, did you see? Your disciple... has finally avenged you!"
