Chapter 2002: The Trouble Has Grown Too Big

Lü Ziyi's face was full of disdain.

The power of this sword strike seemed only slightly stronger than the previous one.

Was this Ye Yuan's trump card?

Much thunder, little rain; it seemed this kid only had this much strength.

In the blink of an eye, Sword Void Inscription and the Five Elements Sword Technique collided.

Boom!

The houses below instantly turned to dust, as if they had never existed.

Lü Ziyi's expression shifted instantly from disdain to shock.

A force like an avalanche came from the sword light.

Lü Ziyi's face turned pale as she frantically drove her divine essence, mobilized the world's spiritual energy, and kept the Five Elements laws cycling endlessly, trying to block this terrifying power.

But it was all in vain.

Lü Ziyi felt that Ye Yuan's power was like a tsunami—earth-shattering and unending.

No matter how she applied the Five Elements laws, she could not resist.

Pfft!

Lü Ziyi spat out a mouthful of blood, sent flying backward by the sword strike, and fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Lü Ziyi's clothes were disheveled, her hair scattered—where was the celestial maiden's grace?

She tried to struggle up, but a sword was already pressed against her throat.

Ye Yuan's sword strike was too strong; her internal organs were severely injured.

"Is this your reliance, your pride? It's nothing special. Now, you are no better than the 'lowly people' you speak of. What right do you have to look down on them?"

Ye Yuan looked at Lü Ziyi, his tone full of mockery.

Just moments ago, Lü Ziyi was a celestial maiden on the clouds, gazing coldly at the world with arrogant eyes.

But now, Ye Yuan was looking down on her.

All her pride was crushed beyond recognition by Ye Yuan at this moment.

"What kind of genius is that? Compared to Lord Ye Yuan, he's nothing!"

"So strong! Lord Ye Yuan is so strong! Even a genius who comprehended the Five Elements laws is no match for him."

"Haha, how satisfying! She looked down on us lowly people, but now what is she?"

...

The warriors in the city erupted in wild cheers.

No one expected that Ye Yuan would still achieve a complete victory against a powerful existence with five types of law power.

After all, Lü Ziyi was two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan!

In the True God realm, two minor realms meant a gap of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Of course, that was only for geniuses.

For ordinary warriors, one minor realm could be hundreds of thousands of years!

Lü Ziyi's expression was extremely ugly. She never imagined she would lose to a True God third heaven, someone she regarded as a native.

This blow nearly shattered all her confidence.

At that moment, a black-armored soldier quickly spoke up: "Kid, behind Miss Ziyi stands the Venerable Lü Yan. If you dare touch her, the entire city will be buried with her!"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts pounded with fear.

A Venerable-level powerhouse—this was an existence they had never imagined and could never reach.

When a Venerable is angered, corpses float for ten thousand miles!

If they provoked a Venerable, how could a mere Eagle Emperor City withstand his wrath?

Lü Ziyi looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly, "My father is Lü Yan, the city lord of Five Firmaments Emperor Capital. Even if you defeat me, so what?"

Ye Yuan shook his head with a smile: "If I, Ye Yuan, want to kill someone, even if the Heavenly King himself comes, he can't stop me! A Venerable... so what?"

Lü Ziyi was unimpressed, thinking Ye Yuan was just boasting.

A Venerable was a god-like existence; who would dare defy one?

She looked at Ye Yuan and said calmly, "Ye Yuan, you are talented! I admit, I am inferior to you! But if you dare harm a single hair on my head, you will die without a burial place! These lowly people will be buried with you!"

Ye Yuan's face was full of cold sneers upon hearing this.

This woman was too self-righteous.

Even now, did she still think he was putting on a front?

Ye Yuan found it amusing.

"Heh, still think you're above everyone else?" Ye Yuan sneered.

Lü Ziyi glanced at Ye Yuan and said calmly, "Stop pretending. Do you really dare to kill me? My father is a Venerable, an existence you cannot afford to provoke. You defeated me, which shows you are indeed strong, but that has nothing to do with these useless lowlifes. In any case, you don't dare kill me, and you'll have to send me back properly."

Ye Yuan couldn't help but laugh at this.

This woman was beyond saving.

He looked at Lü Ziyi and sneered, "Originally, I am not a bloodthirsty person, but you should never have killed Jiang Ming. Perhaps in your eyes, he was just an insignificant nobody, but in my eyes, he was a loyal and righteous young man. If you don't die today, heaven's justice will be violated!"

With that, Ye Yuan thrust his sword forward, piercing straight through Lü Ziyi's heart.

Even in death, Lü Ziyi's face was full of disbelief.

Was this guy... crazy?

He... he actually dared to kill her!

But Lü Ziyi's pupils gradually dilated, and her gaze began to fade.

A prodigy of her generation had fallen!

Everyone watched in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

When the black-armored soldier mentioned the Venerable's name, everyone was astonished.

But none of them expected that Ye Yuan would actually dare to kill.

And the reason was merely a 'lowly person' in their eyes.

"You... you actually killed the young lady! Are you insane?" The True God realm black-armored soldier was full of disbelief.

Was this guy not afraid of a Venerable?

He had killed the Venerable's daughter!

Ye Yuan looked at the black-armored soldier and said coldly, "I, Ye Yuan, act only to have a clear conscience! If I let her go, how could I face the deceased Jiang Ming? Those who look down on everything must bear the consequences! And you—none of you will leave either."

The black-armored soldier's expression changed, feeling he had encountered a madman.

Was this guy so unreasonable?

He was completely beyond reasoning!

The more you said, the more he went against you!

...

When Ye Yuan saw Zuo Shujie and the others, the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.

Zuo Shujie and the others had lost seven or eight of their lives, with only a breath left.

If Lü Ziyi hadn't planned to take them back to Five Firmaments Emperor Capital, they would have already perished.

Of course, this was nothing to Ye Yuan; as long as they had a breath, he could save them.

But when they learned that the experts from Five Firmaments Emperor Capital had been completely wiped out, their faces were still filled with shock.

This time, the trouble had grown too big!

Such an extraordinary genius must be an important figure in Five Firmaments Emperor Capital; how could they let this go?

Bai Tong looked at Ye Yuan and smiled, "You didn't disappoint me."

Ye Yuan smiled back, "You've suffered."

Bai Tong shook his head, "I'm fine, but what are you planning to do next?"
