Chapter 1737 Betrayal

When they came out, it was extremely smooth. Ye Yuan held the Nether Night Flower in his hand, and those Fire Cloud Ice Crystal Insects dared not approach at all.

Even the Insect King did not dare to come up easily.

This showed that this thing was indeed the nemesis of the Fire Cloud Ice Crystal Insects.

Then, the group set out on the path to find the Silver Wing Earth Spirit Fruit.

And in this group, Ye Yuan's status was quietly changing.

At first, everyone thought he was weak and was just tagging along for benefits.

But now everyone knew that Ye Yuan could fight the Insect King head-on, definitely possessing strength comparable to Duan Peng and the others.

Half a month later, led by Duan Peng, the group finally arrived near that cave.

Duan Peng's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Not good, someone has been here!"

In the grass ahead, some footprints were faintly visible, clearly someone had beaten them to it.

Ye Yuan said, "Don't worry. According to your description, the Silver Wing Earth Spirit Fruit is not yet fully ripe. Even if someone found it, they wouldn't pick it now."

Duan Peng felt slightly relieved, but still grew a bit worried.

Having more competitors was never a good thing.

When the time came, they would have to settle it with strength.

Just then, seven or eight figures burst out from the dense forest, completely blocking the path.

The leading big man held a large ring-blade in his hand, looking exceptionally imposing.

Duan Peng's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Qi Dongyu! It's you!"

Qi Dongyu laughed and said, "Hey, who do I think it is? It's you! Duan Peng, you're here for the Silver Wing Earth Spirit Fruit too, right? Get lost, this place is mine!"

The other team had eight people, with four at the Sixth Layer of Divine Lord, so Qi Dongyu didn't take Duan Peng seriously at all.

Duan Peng's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Qi Dongyu, what gives you the right? This place was discovered by me first!"

Qi Dongyu laughed loudly, "Discovered by you? Hahaha, Duan Peng, are you trying to amuse me because you think I'm bored? What gives me the right? Just because I have more people! Oh, isn't this Brother Luo Yong?"

Qi Dongyu suddenly spotted Luo Yong on Duan Peng's side, looking somewhat surprised.

Luo Yong was overjoyed when he saw Qi Dongyu.

Seeing Qi Dongyu notice him, he laughed and said, "Brother Qi, I didn't expect to run into you here! Damn it, I've had enough! Brother, I'm joining you now!"

With that, Luo Yong moved and directly dashed over.

Duan Peng's expression changed, and he said coldly, "Luo Yong, what do you mean by this?"

Luo Yong sneered, "What do I mean? Heh, all along this journey, I've had enough of your cowardice! You've been siding with this kid and opposing me at every turn, and you still expect me to help you? If it weren't for the Silver Wing Earth Spirit Fruit, I would have quit long ago! Now that I've run into Brother Qi, of course I'm joining them!"

Yu Jing was furious and said, "Luo Yong, it's been you who has been making things difficult for Ye Yuan all along, and now you're shifting the blame!"

Luo Yong sneered, "Shut up, you bitch! You know I have feelings for you, yet you deliberately flirt with this pretty boy along the way. Are you doing it on purpose?"

Duan Peng said solemnly, "Luo Yong, you dare to betray the team? Do you still want to stay in this circle in the future?"

Qi Dongyu had been watching coldly from the sidelines and had already figured out the situation on Duan Peng's side.

Seeing Duan Peng's questioning, he spoke up, "Don't worry, no one will know. These are all trusted brothers of mine. If they don't talk, naturally no one will know."

The meaning was clear: they were preparing to kill to silence everyone.

Upon hearing this, Duan Peng's face changed drastically, but Luo Yong understood and burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha, Duan Peng, did you see that? This is what brothers are! If you want to blame someone, blame that kid!"

Qi Dongyu said to Luo Yong, "I originally planned to invite you, brother, on this trip, but you hadn't returned yet, so we missed you. I never expected to run into you here."

The two were birds of a feather and had a very good relationship.

Otherwise, Luo Yong wouldn't have defected the moment he saw Qi Dongyu.

Luo Yong laughed heartily and said, "Old brother, on this trip, I don't want anything else—just to kill this kid. Please, old brother, lend me a hand!"

Qi Dongyu looked at Ye Yuan in surprise and chuckled, "Brother Luo, for a mere Divine Lord Third Heaven, you still need me to make a move? What's wrong with you?"

Luo Yong said solemnly, "Old brother, don't underestimate this kid. Earlier, he exchanged blows with a Fourth Stage mid-peak Insect King and held his own. His strength is definitely not inferior to ours!"

At these words, Qi Dongyu's side all changed expression slightly.

A Divine Lord Third Heaven being able to exchange blows with a Fourth Stage mid-peak Insect King—that was too unbelievable, wasn't it?

But Qi Dongyu also knew that Luo Yong wouldn't joke about this at such a time, so he began to take it seriously.

"Wang Xiao, the three of you deal with Duan Peng! This kid, I'll handle together with Brother Luo. As for the others, kill them all except that little girl!" Qi Dongyu arranged.

Yu Jing, seeing this, anxiously said, "Ye Yuan, run! With your strength, you can definitely escape!"

With Luo Yong's defection, it was now a nine-against-five situation.

Moreover, among the nine on the other side, five were Divine Lord Sixth Heaven experts!

Although Yu Jing had witnessed Ye Yuan's strength, she didn't think he could defy the heavens under these circumstances.

Qi Dongyu laughed upon hearing this, "Escape? Little girl, don't you know that I, Qi, am unmatched in speed? With me here, even if he grew wings, he couldn't fly away!"

Ye Yuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly smiled and said, "Escape? When did I ever say I wanted to escape?"

Qi Dongyu laughed, "Kid, you've got guts! But... it's useless. Accept your fate!"

Ye Yuan ignored him and looked at Luo Yong instead, saying, "I didn't bother with you before, but I didn't expect you to go even further, now trying to kill your own companion. People like you don't deserve to live in this world!"

Luo Yong laughed loudly, "I don't deserve to live in this world? Hahaha, Ye Yuan, that's the funniest joke I've heard since entering the mountains! Old brother Qi, let's stop wasting words with him. Let's show him who doesn't deserve to live!"

"Fine! Let me test this kid and see if he's as formidable as you say!"

With that, Qi Dongyu brandished his large ring-blade and charged at Ye Yuan.

At the same time, Luo Yong also moved!

Two Divine Lord Sixth Heaven experts struck simultaneously, creating a terrifying momentum.

Especially Qi Dongyu—his speed was truly fast.

The seemingly heavy large ring-blade reached Ye Yuan's face in the blink of an eye.

Ye Yuan's expression didn't change as his hands quickly formed seals!

Swoosh!

Ye Yuan used the law of space to nimbly dodge Qi Dongyu's blade, and as his blade momentum waned, he suddenly unleashed his seal technique!

Nirvana Seal!

Luo Yong knew that Qi Dongyu's blade wouldn't hit Ye Yuan and was about to follow up, only to find a terrifying wave of energy heading straight for him!

Boom!

With a loud crash, Luo Yong was sent flying backward, blood spraying wildly, his aura rapidly weakening.

"You seem to have misunderstood something. I didn't kill you because you're too weak, not because you're too strong," Ye Yuan said calmly.
