Chapter 2336: Delivering Heads

"Judging by your looks, you just died and came back, right? How many times have you died? Uh, sorry, should be dozens of times?"

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over their faces, his tone full of mockery.

These guys weren't that strong—the strongest was only at the Third Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor realm—yet they dared to mock him here. How ridiculous.

Sure enough, their expressions changed instantly upon hearing this.

Dozens of times was an exaggeration, but they had indeed died over ten times.

In such an environment, the weak had an extremely high mortality rate.

One of them, a young man in brocade robes, shot a cold glance and said, "Kid, a newcomer should know his place! Being too arrogant will get you killed horribly!"

The brocade-robed youth was named Yang Ke, the leader of this group, at the peak of the Third Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor realm.

Their group had just been ambushed by an expert outside the city and wiped out.

At the moment, they were feeling displeased, and seeing Ye Yuan, they couldn't help teasing him.

Ye Yuan chuckled, "You've been mocking me since I came in, and now you say I'm arrogant. So you get to have it both ways?"

Yang Ke said coldly, "In the Primordial War Realm, the strong set the rules! Kid, if you said that outside the city, you'd already be dead!"

Ye Yuan smiled lightly, "Oh, is that so? Then I'll go outside the city now. Do you dare to follow?"

Yang Ke was taken aback. Was this guy an idiot?

In the city, they hesitated to act, but outside the city, they could strike without mercy.

Such things were very common outside the city.

Outside the city, one had to be wary not only of ferocious beasts that might appear at any time but also of humans who might emerge from nowhere.

However, Ye Yuan was a newcomer with zero War God Points, so killing him would yield nothing.

According to the rules of the Primordial War Realm, killing an opponent earned you ten to seventy percent of their War God Points.

The higher the opponent's rank, the more War God Points you got, and vice versa.

At first, some strong individuals would deliberately wait for others to rank higher before hunting them.

But over time, rankings became increasingly stable.

Challenging someone ranked higher than you was essentially delivering your head.

"Haha, are you challenging me? I've seen people rushing to die, but never someone as eager as you! Just arrived and already want to taste death? Don't worry, it feels exactly like real death!" Yang Ke laughed loudly.

Although Ye Yuan had no War God Points, since he was so arrogant, how could Yang Ke back down?

Besides, they had just been wiped out, so taking it out on a rookie would be a good release.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "I've set my sights on your War God Points. Though they're a bit few, they're better than nothing."

Upon hearing this, the group burst into laughter.

Yang Ke laughed even harder, saying, "You're really interesting, rookie! Good, very good! Then let's go outside the city and have a go. Your Uncle Yang's War God Points are right here—take them if you can!"

Without further ado, Ye Yuan turned and headed toward the city gate.

In the city, many warriors, curious to see a good show, followed along.

"This rookie is really interesting. A Second Heaven Heavenly Emperor being so arrogant!"

"Hey, everyone who enters the Primordial War Realm is a genius outside. But once here, they realize there's always someone better!" a warrior remarked.

"This kid probably thinks he can fight above his level outside. But he doesn't know that everyone here can do that! And it doesn't mean a damn thing!"

...

Most of the Unlucky Sons held Ye Yuan's behavior in contempt.

When they first arrived, who among them wasn't arrogant?

But over time, their confidence was gradually crushed.

By now, they had learned to keep their heads down.

If you offended some expert, they would chase you down and kill you until you dared not leave the city!

However, the city wasn't absolutely safe either.

Because there was a time limit in the city.

Once the time was up, the rules of the Primordial War Realm would directly erase you!

Yang Ke's squad consisted of six people: two at the Third Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor realm and four at the Second Heaven.

But even the Second Heaven ones were at the peak, just a step away from the Third Heaven.

Outside the city, they looked at Ye Yuan like wolves eyeing a little rabbit, their faces full of mockery.

This kid had actually come outside the city.

"Peng Yang, go teach our little brother how to behave in Yunxiang City!" Yang Ke said to his companion.

The companion named Peng Yang wore a playful expression and laughed, "Sure thing! Teaching rookies a lesson is my favorite! Kid, you probably think you're hot stuff and can challenge those above your level. But everyone here can fight above their level outside! So after you die, remember to keep your tail..."

Boom!

Before Peng Yang could finish, he was dead.

Ye Yuan suddenly threw a punch, incredibly fast.

Before anyone could react, Peng Yang was already back at the respawn point.

Ye Yuan looked calm, as if he had done something utterly ordinary.

At that moment, streams of gilded runes entered his body.

These were War God Points.

With a casual kill of Peng Yang, Ye Yuan gained thirty-two War God Points.

"Only this many War God Points? You guys are so weak!" Ye Yuan said with some dissatisfaction.

Peng Yang's rank wasn't high, but compared to Ye Yuan, it was quite high.

He had obtained thirty percent of Peng Yang's War God Points, meaning Peng Yang had just over a hundred points.

Ye Yuan was just making an observation, but to Yang Ke and the others, it was a huge insult.

Few War God Points meant they were weak!

In truth, their War God Points weren't that low, especially Yang Ke's, which could rank nearly ten thousand.

But they had just been wiped out, losing a lot of points, so it seemed low.

Yang Ke's gaze darkened, murderous intent flaring. "Kid, you broke the rules and ambushed Peng Yang!"

Ye Yuan chuckled, "Fight if you're fighting, why all the talk? Besides, isn't the Primordial War Realm a place of slaughter? Do you have to bow and greet each other before killing?"

"Hahaha..."

Laughter erupted from the crowd.

Indeed, what Ye Yuan said made sense.

They had underestimated him because of his low cultivation.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have wasted words; they'd have ganged up on him as soon as they left the city.

Yang Ke's eyes turned cold. "Together! Kill him!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Yang Ke's patience had reached its limit.

He wanted to torture this guy to death, make him taste agony!

In the Primordial War Realm, death wasn't scary; the process of dying was.

That process was exactly the same as in real life!

But reality was quite different from what he imagined.

Once they engaged, he realized just how strong Ye Yuan was!
