Chapter 2276: Remember Those Two Patches?

Ye Yuan looked at Tang Yucheng, a look of shock on his face. “I trusted you so much, and you actually betrayed me?”

Tang Yucheng laughed loudly. “If I hadn’t said that, would you have let me leave? What a fool, tricked by a few words from me!”

Ye Yuan wore a resigned expression and sighed. “Alas, why must you do this?”

Tang Yucheng said smugly, “A mere lowly ant, you think I really care? In this Tongtian Realm, there are too many ants! My cousin playing with a few ants, what does that amount to? But that old drunkard killing him—that’s a violation of heavenly law!”

Tang Yucheng could well be called a favored son of heaven!

He was born of two Heavenly Emperors, and his bone structure was excellent; from birth he was a super expert at the Heavenly Sovereign realm.

In his eyes, all below the Heavenly Sovereign realm were ants.

How could such a wastrel care about the life or death of a mere Divine Lord realm cultivator?

Tang Yucheng looked at Ye Yuan and sneered, “You think that with your peak Heavenly Sovereign cultivation, you can run wild? Let me tell you, before my parents, you’re still an ant!”

Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze cold. “Did you hear that? Before a Heavenly Emperor, everything is an ant! Boy, will you take your own life, or shall I do it?”

Ye Yuan ignored him and instead looked at Tang Yucheng, smiling. “But in my eyes, you’re also an ant!”

Tang Yucheng laughed heartily at this. “An ant, so what? Before my parents, can you still kill me?”

Ye Yuan looked at Tang Yucheng like he was an idiot and smiled. “Remember those two patches I gave you before you left?”

Tang Yucheng’s expression changed, and he said in terror, “You… you’re bluffing me?”

Not only Tang Yucheng, but Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor and Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor also changed color drastically and instinctively looked toward Tang Yucheng.

But it was already too late.

Snap!

Ye Yuan snapped his fingers, and suddenly, countless sword qi burst out from within.

Tang Yucheng was directly sliced into countless pieces by the sword qi.

Those two patches from Ye Yuan had left sword qi origin within Tang Yucheng’s body.

As soon as Ye Yuan triggered it, it would erupt violently.

But with Tang Yucheng’s strength, he simply couldn’t detect it.

Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor and Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Their own son had been killed right before them, his body not even intact!

The old drunkard was also stunned; he hadn’t expected Ye Yuan to be so crazy as to kill their son right in front of the Heavenly Emperors.

Now it seemed Ye Yuan wasn’t naive about the world.

But since he had planted sword qi in Tang Yucheng’s body, why not use it to blackmail the two Heavenly Emperors?

He found that he simply couldn’t understand Ye Yuan’s actions!

Ye Yuan, however, was completely unconcerned, as if he had done something trivial, and said with a smile, “I invited you two here to ask for something—return the old drunkard’s soul imprint to me, how about it?”

Boom!

Boom!

Two terrifying forces, like sharp swords, shot straight at Ye Yuan.

“Soul imprint? Heh! You killed my son; I will grind your bones to dust and vent my hatred!” Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor shrieked.

Tang Yucheng was the apple of her eye; Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor doted on him to the extreme, unwilling to let him suffer the slightest loss.

But now, Ye Yuan had killed him just like that—how could Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor not be furious?

All her rage was directed at Ye Yuan.

After the shock, Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor was also furious to the extreme and said coldly, “Fine, boy, you’ve got guts! Soon, you’ll regret being born into this world!”

Whoosh!

Before Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor could act, Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor had already teleported in front of Ye Yuan and fiercely struck down with a palm.

Dao patterns flickered, and the terrifying energy fluctuations made everyone present change color.

How terrifying was the power of a Heavenly Emperor’s wrathful strike?

Everyone thought Ye Yuan was dead for sure!

But just then, over a thousand flying swords shot out, and a terrifying sword array suddenly lit up.

In an instant, Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor was trapped in the sword array.

Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor had come in fury, but now she was shocked and enraged.

Trapped in the sword array, all her dao patterns and heavenly might were useless against it.

Now Ye Yuan was on the verge of breaking through to the next realm, nearly at the peak of the Chaos realm; both his divine essence and soul power had climbed to an unattainable height.

The power of the sword array was far greater than when he had hidden meridians!

Back then, that sword array could defeat powerful experts of the Divine race, let alone a mere First Heaven Heavenly Emperor?

In others’ eyes, a Heavenly Emperor might be very powerful.

But in Ye Yuan’s eyes, it was nothing special.

The old drunkard’s pupils contracted sharply; his shock was beyond measure.

He had never imagined that Ye Yuan’s strength could already contend with a Heavenly Emperor!

“This… this is simply astonishing! He’s only at the Heavenly Sovereign realm, yet he can match a Heavenly Emperor! Even Lord Xianlin is far inferior to him!”

The old drunkard had initially thought that Ye Yuan reaching peak Divine Lord in two thousand years was already astonishing talent.

But he found that Ye Yuan’s growth had completely exceeded his understanding!

In two thousand years, from a mere Return to Void realm boy to a giant capable of matching a Heavenly Emperor!

Such a thing, he dared not even imagine!

He finally understood why Ye Yuan didn’t care about Tang Yucheng’s identity.

Because he was fully capable!

On the other side, Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor’s expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, “Sword origin! Array origin!”

In just a few breaths, Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor’s world domain was compressed significantly by Ye Yuan’s sword array.

Soon, the sword array would break through Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor’s defenses.

At that point, Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor would have no way out but death.

How could he hesitate? He shouted, “My lady, I’ll help you!”

Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor took a step, bypassed the sword array, and charged straight at Ye Yuan himself.

As long as he killed Ye Yuan, the sword array would naturally fall apart!

But how could Ye Yuan let him have his way?

Suddenly, half of the flying swords in the array withdrew and directly engaged Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor.

The two sides fought fiercely, the terrifying energy leaving the surroundings pockmarked.

Ye Yuan single-handedly fought two Heavenly Emperors without fear, and even seemed to have the upper hand.

The subordinates Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor had brought were dumbfounded.

Where did this kid come from, and how was he so powerful?

Swift Rain Heavenly Emperor was in a difficult position; he had thought that with Ye Yuan dividing his forces, the two Heavenly Emperors could break the sword array.

But Ye Yuan had trapped him with only half the flying swords.

He used every trick he had and barely managed a draw with Ye Yuan.

Fortunately, the pressure on Phoenix Dance Heavenly Emperor had lessened, and she could barely withstand the sword array.

Ye Yuan controlled the sword array with ease and said calmly, “I let him go to give him a chance, but he brought you two here instead—that was his death wish. If a son is not taught, the father is at fault! You two raised such a son, and you’re no better yourselves. Since that’s the case, I’ll send you on your way!”
