Chapter 2158: Heart-Wrenching Pain

"No, the space is collapsing!"

Feeling the intense energy fluctuations, Long Xiao's face turned pale in an instant.

His figure moved abruptly, almost instantly arriving at a certain spot in the spatial rift.

But it was already too late!

Once spatial collapse began, it was like a domino effect, the energy waves growing stronger and stronger.

Even for him, a Fourth Heaven Celestial Venerable, falling into it meant certain death.

"Long Xi!"

Long Xiao's heart suddenly ached, as if torn apart.

Among these subordinates, Long Xi had been with him the longest, and their bond was the deepest.

Long Xiao never dreamed that after escaping the encirclement of countless Heavenly Emperors and Celestial Venerables, they would die here today!

Killed by a mere novice Celestial Venerable!

"Does it hurt?" A figure stepped out from the void, his face full of indifference.

Seeing Ye Yuan, Long Xiao's eyes turned bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth: "Kid, today I will tear you apart with my bare hands!"

Long Xiao raised his blade and arrived in an instant!

The powerful blade light nearly tore through space.

But Ye Yuan's figure flickered slightly and disappeared before Long Xiao's eyes.

"Over the years, you and Ao Xu have colluded, slaughtering countless of your own kind. Have you ever thought... whether their families would feel pain? I had no enmity with you, yet you ambushed us. Since that's the case, be prepared for my revenge! Don't worry, the game has just begun."

Ye Yuan emerged from another spatial layer, his words full of coldness.

Long Xiao's group had blood on their hands; killing them gave Ye Yuan no qualms.

If not for his numerous tricks, he would have surely died at Long Xiao's hands today.

Once Ye Yuan was angered, the consequences were dire.

Now, Long Xiao was tasting the bitter fruit.

However, Long Xiao's current rage was more of a burning desire to kill.

Long Xiao chased Ye Yuan with his blade, but in this spatial rift he knew so well, he was like a headless fly, led around by Ye Yuan.

Occasionally, he broke into a layered space and saw the corpses of his subordinates, his eyes nearly splitting with fury.

Apart from Long Xi's pair being completely wiped out, the other teams had also been thoroughly scattered by Ye Yuan and Long Xiaochun.

A powerful ambush team was now isolated, each alone.

With Ye Yuan's strength, killing an isolated Second Heaven Celestial Venerable was not difficult.

A carefully planned ambush had turned into a one-sided massacre.

Long Xiao's heart bled; these Celestial Venerables were old brothers who had followed him for hundreds of thousands of years, weathering storms and living on the edge to reach today.

Unexpectedly, they all fell here today—at their own doorstep.

As Ye Yuan said, he finally felt the taste of pain!

Long Xiao possessed immense power, but in this spatial rift, he had no room to use it.

The moment he raised his blade, Ye Yuan had already vanished.

In just half a day, the seventeen or eighteen Celestial Venerables Long Xiao brought were reduced to a mere handful.

"Ye Yuan, come out! If you have the guts, fight me fair and square!" Long Xiao roared into the depths of the void.

"B... boss!" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.

Long Xiao turned to see Long Zhao, his eyes red.

His eyes were not red from killing, but from crying.

The deaths of old brothers one by one filled Long Zhao with grief.

"Long Zhao! Finally found you! Stick with me, don't leave. Once we see that little bastard, we'll cooperate and kill him!" Long Xiao gritted his teeth.

Long Zhao said with red eyes: "Boss, still fighting? Let's... surrender!"

Long Xiao's gaze turned cold: "After so many brothers have died, you want me to surrender? If I don't cut that kid into a thousand pieces today, I swear I'm not human!"

"But we can't even find him! He knows this space like the back of his hand, even moving freely in deep space. His spatial law must be at least sixth rank!"

Long Zhao had lost his nerve; what was terrifying was not a powerful opponent, but one you couldn't fathom.

Unable to even catch a glimpse of the enemy, how could they fight?

Long Xiao's face was also ashen. Suddenly, Ye Yuan's figure flickered, and he said coldly: "After him!"

Swoosh!

The space shifted, and the view suddenly opened up.

Here, peach blossoms bloomed, a stream flowed past a cottage, and village children frolicked—a veritable paradise.

In the distance, Long Xiaochun was playing joyfully with a few children.

But Long Xiao's face changed drastically!

He stared fixedly at Ye Yuan, who stood in the air in the distance, and said coldly: "Kid, what do you want?"

Ye Yuan's gaze swept over the village, a hint of softness flashing in his eyes.

"Surrender." Ye Yuan said calmly.

While穿梭ing through the void, Ye Yuan had accidentally discovered this place.

He then realized that this was Long Xiao's group's lair.

Ye Yuan hadn't expected that Long Xiao and his men, who committed all kinds of atrocities outside, were doing it for this paradise.

Originally, Ye Yuan planned to kill Long Xiao and his men directly in the void.

With his mastery of spatial law, even if he couldn't kill Long Xiao, he was confident about the others.

Even a Third Heaven Celestial Venerable would find it hard to survive under Ye Yuan's ambush.

But now, he changed his mind.

Long Xiao's hand holding the blade trembled slightly.

Clearly, he was in intense inner turmoil.

"Boss! Give up! We have no chance!" Long Zhao said with red eyes.

Long Xiao looked at Ye Yuan and gritted his teeth: "How do I know you won't kill us after we surrender?"

Ye Yuan smiled: "If I wanted to kill, it wouldn't be like this now."

Long Xiao's pupils contracted, and he immediately understood Ye Yuan's meaning.

If Ye Yuan were a indiscriminate killer or a ruthless person, he would now be threatening with the lives of women and children, not standing here talking to him.

Clearly, that direct threat would be more effective.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Several figures suddenly dashed out—it was Long Ming and the others.

Seeing this scene, their faces changed drastically.

Ye Yuan had found their lair!

Their lair was extremely hidden, never exposed for so many years, yet Ye Yuan had found it.

"B... boss!" Long Ming's mouth also went dry.

Suddenly, Long Xiao's wrist relaxed, and the heavy short blade fell rapidly, plunging into the earth with a clang.

Thud!

Long Xiao knelt directly in the air before Ye Yuan, gritting his teeth: "Long Xiao failed to recognize your eminence and offended the Dragon Prince. Please punish me! I only beg you to spare the people of Longyuan Village!"

Saying this, Long Xiao directly sealed his qi sea, becoming a cripple.

Seeing Long Xiao like this, the others lost all will to fight, throwing down their weapons and kneeling before Ye Yuan.

"Please spare us! We are willing to confess our crimes!"
