Chapter 2792: I Said I’d Protect You, So I Will!

“Xiaoqing, didn’t you say the sea was full of dangers? How come it’s been pretty smooth sailing for us?”

“Reputation is one thing, meeting is another. Maybe the true spirits in the sea are all very friendly?”

“Hmm, you have a point. Ah, I’ve been invincible in Yuchi Continent for too long, it’s really boring. Otherwise, I’d be a bit reluctant to leave.”

“Master is exceptionally talented, unrivaled in this age! The tiny Yuchi Continent can no longer contain you! To follow you and see the outside world is Xiaoqing’s greatest honor!”

“Hehe, Xiaoqing, you have sharp eyes—that’s what I like about you! Xiaoqing, do you think I’ll be able to dominate the world out there too?”

“Absolutely! Master will surely find an opportunity soon, break through to True Sovereign Heaven, and then stand at the pinnacle once more, laughing proudly through the ages!”

“Haha, I think so too! Hmm… it’s just this vast sea is a bit boring!”

…

A young man in blue robes, riding a blue ox, was strolling leisurely across the sea surface, looking very relaxed and enjoying himself, as if on a trip.

The blue-robed youth had an air of invincibility and the loneliness of a supreme expert.

However, his aura was indeed very powerful—he was actually a peak Saint Sovereign Heaven cultivator.

The blue ox beneath him was also at the early stage of Upper Saint Sovereign Heaven.

Such strength was quite formidable even in the sea.

So the journey had been fairly peaceful.

The youth was named Yang Qing, the strongest in Yuchi Continent, somewhat like Zhuo Bufan in his time.

But in Yuchi Continent, he had no room for further growth, so he left to seek an opportunity to break through to True Sovereign Heaven.

Suddenly, the void in the distance rippled, and the listless Yang Qing perked up excitedly.

“People! Hey, after a whole year, I finally see a living person! Hmm… only Lower Saint Sovereign Heaven, yet he dares to come to the sea—quite bold! Xiaoqing, let’s go!”

Yang Qing patted Xiaoqing, who understood and moved to intercept.

Soon, a figure appeared in Yang Qing’s sight—a young man in white.

“Little brother, the sea is vast—how about we travel together?” Yang Qing called out.

Ye Yuan, who was fleeing at top speed, looked somewhat strange at the sound.

This guy wanted to travel with him?

Tired of living?

“No need, we each go our own way!” Ye Yuan said indifferently.

Yang Qing wasn’t offended; he kept pace with Ye Yuan and laughed, “Little brother, I see you’re not very strong. With me, your safety is guaranteed. Hmm… but you’re pretty fast.”

Ye Yuan looked at Yang Qing with some surprise—this guy could actually keep up with his speed.

But meeting a human here was also unexpected.

From the other’s demeanor, he guessed that he too had left the continent seeking opportunities.

“If you’re not afraid of death, then follow me,” Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.

“Afraid of death? Haha… little brother, you’re joking! I, the Azure Heaven Saint Sovereign, am invincible under heaven. Unless a True Sovereign Heaven expert makes a move, I guarantee your safety!” Yang Qing laughed loudly.

The big blue ox also said, “Kid, don’t worry! My master’s strength sweeps the world. Even if five Saint Sovereign Heaven Perfection experts come, they’re no match for him! Protecting a Lower Saint Sovereign Heaven like you is too easy.”

Ye Yuan couldn’t help rolling his eyes—was this guy overconfident?

Had he hypnotized himself into believing he was truly invincible?

If it weren’t for the pursuers behind me, I could crush you right now, believe it or not?

Ye Yuan ignored these two clowns and flew on his own, pushing his speed to the limit.

“Hehe, little brother, the sea is vast—why are you in such a hurry? Why not slow down and enjoy the natural scenery? It’s good for your cultivation,” Yang Qing said with a smile.

Ye Yuan: “…”

“Little brother, you’re so aloof! Let me tell you, with that attitude, it’s hard to attain the Great Dao! The sea isn’t as dangerous as you think. Even if it is, you should face it with a smile.”

Ye Yuan: “…”

“Little brother…”

Yang Qing had been bored for too long and finally found someone to talk to, turning into a chatterbox.

Ye Yuan couldn’t be bothered to respond, but he was somewhat amazed by the other’s strength.

Even among Saint Sovereign Heaven Perfection experts, few could keep up with his speed.

Suddenly, his expression changed—five powerful auras were blocking the way ahead.

He sensed them, and so did Yang Qing.

“Eh, are these Sea Clan experts? I’ve been walking for so long and this is my first time meeting Sea Clan experts. Let’s go say hello,” Yang Qing said excitedly.

Ye Yuan: “…”

So exhausting!

How did this guy even cultivate to this level?

In the blink of an eye, the five auras arrived with a roar.

These five were all at the War General level!

Without waiting for them to speak, Yang Qing went straight up and laughed, “Hehe, are you Sea Clan experts? I am the number one of Yuchi Continent, the Azure Heaven Saint Sovereign! Today I have the honor to meet you…”

“Are you with this kid?” the leading Sea Clan expert interrupted Yang Qing coldly.

Yang Qing laughed, “Of course we’re together!”

Ye Yuan: “…”

He was truly speechless—this guy was really thick-skinned; couldn’t he tell good from bad?

“Kill!” the Sea Clan expert roared, and the five went all out, attacking Ye Yuan and Yang Qing.

Yang Qing was stunned; before he could react, they were already attacking.

But as the number one of Yuchi Continent, he threw a punch that struck first, repelling the two in front of him.

Meanwhile, Ye Yuan opened his Qiankun Sword Array and fought the other three.

The big blue ox dared not join such a battle; it slipped away with a whoosh.

“Ah, is there some misunderstanding?” Yang Qing said while fighting.

“No misunderstanding!” the leading War General bellowed.

“But I haven’t offended you!” Yang Qing said, puzzled.

“You haven’t, but he has!”

“Hey, little brother, how exactly did you provoke them?” Yang Qing couldn’t help looking at Ye Yuan and was startled.

Ye Yuan was holding his own against three, even suppressing them!

These three were all transformation-level experts!

Had he looked down on this kid earlier?

A Lower Saint Sovereign Heaven was suppressing three transformation-level experts!

This kid was even more monstrous than him!

“Nothing much, just killed a few people,” Ye Yuan said indifferently.

Yang Qing heard this and said, “Oh, just five transformation-level experts. If we join forces, no problem! I said I’d protect you, so I will!”

With that, Yang Qing unleashed his aura, forcing the two opponents back step by step.

But in that brief delay, dozens of powerful auras roared in from behind.

All of them were Saint Sovereign Heaven Perfection experts!

Seeing this, Yang Qing’s scalp went numb, and he screamed, “Kid, just how many experts did you provoke?!”
