Chapter 680: Meeting an Old Acquaintance

Looking at Ding Liang's flattened cheek, Ye Yuan looked helpless.

He had originally thought of having a big fight, but who knew Ding Liang would court death by provoking Yue Mengli.

Ye Qing was clearly not good-tempered either; before he could stop him, he directly slapped him over.

Poor Ding Liang, before he even started, his teeth were already gone.

With these two making a move, Ye Yuan simply couldn't stop them!

"I originally wanted to give you a fair chance to fight, but who knew you'd court death. Forget it, I'll just send you on your way directly, consider it a favor to you," Ye Yuan said helplessly.

Ding Liang wanted to say something, but after "ah wu ah wu" for a long time, he couldn't get it out.

Ye Qing also seemed unwilling to waste time, directly striking out with a palm.

Ding Liang didn't even have time to resist before he was beaten into a pulp.

This move by Ye Qing just now only used the peak strength of the fifth rank, yet Ding Liang couldn't even block one move.

A seventh-rank expert, even if only using the strength of the fifth rank, is not something a fifth-rank martial artist can withstand.

Once Ding Liang died, the soul curse on Ye Yuan's hand gradually dissipated.

This curse could only be used once; once the host died, the curse dissipated with it.

Poor Shangguan Yunrong, before dying, had set up an assassin for Ye Yuan, but in the end, she also dragged Ding Liang into the pit.

For Ye Yuan now, Ding Liang was just a small interlude.

With Yue Mengli and Ye Qing by his side, Ye Yuan could now sweep through any small world!

Even if he were to face Ding Liang alone now, he would definitely win without losing.

"Big brother, what should we do now?" Bai Guang asked.

"First, let's leave the Boundless Forest. I'll find someone to ask about the current situation in the Boundless Realm. Those fellows from the Wildwind Realm are all mysterious and secretive—I have a bad feeling about this," Ye Yuan said.

Bai Guang's eyes suddenly rolled, and he said, "Alright! Big brother, I see you're incredibly fast now. How about we race and see who's quicker?"

Ye Yuan gave a half-smile. "You really want to race?"

Bai Guang was provoked by Ye Yuan's expression and lifted his head. "Don't look down on me! After breaking through to the fifth rank, my speed has increased several times over! Even a late fifth-rank expert, I can completely outpace in speed! I don't believe I can't beat you!"

"Alright, but as a descendant of the Radiant White Tiger, I really don't want to crush your confidence," Ye Yuan said with a helpless expression.

"Aaaah! Don't you get cocky! I will never lose to you! I stake the pride of me, a divine beast's descendant!" White Light was going crazy.

Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Alright, alright, then... begin?"

"Wait, I'm in too!" Ye Qing, also childlike at heart, couldn't resist joining in when he saw the two having so much fun.

Ye Yuan and White Light couldn't help rolling their eyes at him and said, "You're a seventh-rank powerhouse; isn't it bullying to compete with us in foot speed?"

Ye Qing said, "I'll suppress my cultivation to the late fifth rank!"

Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Fine, I hope you guys won't be crying later!"

Now Ye Qing was offended: "Kid, don't act like a big shot! Even if I suppress my cultivation to the late fifth rank, you can't possibly beat me!"

His cultivation was suppressed to the late fifth rank, but Ye Qing still had the seventh-rank comprehension of the Dao.

This kind of transcendence was comprehensive, and the same applied to movement techniques.

This was also why Ye Qing, who had suppressed his strength to the fifth rank, could not even block a single move from Ding Liang, who was at the eighth level of the Soul Sea realm.

Ye Yuan just smiled and said to Yue Mengli, "Li'er, you and Yan'er can be the referees."

Yue Mengli beamed and said, "No problem!"

The three got ready, and at Yue Mengli's call of "Start!" they shot out like arrows from a bowstring.

For a moment, the three were neck and neck, evenly matched!

"Hahaha, big brother, is this all the speed you've got? In that case, I won't hold back!"

Bai Guang laughed heartily and accelerated again, leaving Ye Qing and Ye Yuan behind.

"Kid, is this your true strength? If this is all you have, I won't play along either."

Ye Qing moved, and a green figure instantly left Ye Yuan in the dust.

Seeing their actions, Ye Yuan curled his lips and smiled, "This is all you've got? You underestimate me! Kunpeng bloodline, activate! Wind-Thunder Aurora Evasion, full power!"

Ye Yuan's figure shot forward like a rainbow piercing the sun, rapidly closing in on the two ahead!

All three were extremely fast; any martial artist of lesser skill could not keep up with their pace.

But Ye Yuan, starting from behind, was actually gradually narrowing the gap!

His foot speed was now half a beat faster than both Bai Guang and Ye Qing!

This half-beat gap was enough to decide the final outcome.

Ye Yuan soon caught up with Ye Qing, then surpassed Bai Guang, and finally the gap between the three grew larger and larger.

Clearly, Ye Qing and Bai Guang could no longer catch up to Ye Yuan.

"Ye Yuan wins!" Yue Mengli announced the final result, and the three stopped.

Bai Guang said gloomily, "Big brother, you cheated! When you fought Ye Qing that day, your speed wasn't this fast!"

Ye Qing also said, "Yeah, your speed today seems to have improved a lot compared to that day. What's going on?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Martial skills naturally become more proficient with practice. My Wind-Thunder Aurora Evasion has reached perfection! Unless it's a martial artist at the peak of the Divine Travel realm, it's hard for anyone to catch up to my speed!"

"No way? Your cultivation of this martial skill is too fast!" Bai Guang's jaw dropped in shock.

He knew about Ye Yuan's Wind-Thunder Aurora Evasion and how difficult this martial skill was to practice.

If someone else were to cultivate it, it would take at least eight or ten years to reach great mastery. But how long had Ye Yuan spent from start to finish, and he had already reached perfection?

"I have comprehended the true meaning of wind flow and possess the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood, so this martial skill is not too difficult for me," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Others cultivating this technique gradually comprehend the true meaning, but Ye Yuan already possessed two true meanings, so naturally he cultivated it very quickly.

"That may be so, but even then, your cultivation speed is still too abnormal!" Bai Guang complained.

Ye Yuan was about to speak when he heard some noise in the distance. He frowned and said, "There seems to be a fight over there. Let's go check it out and also inquire about news from the outside world."

Naturally, no one objected. They leaped a few times and arrived at the scene of the fight.

The group's strength was not great, only around the Sea Transformation realm. With such strength, they naturally could not detect Ye Yuan and the others.

But the disparity between the two sides was very large; clearly, one side had fled here and been surrounded.

One side had only a dozen people, while the other had several dozen!

Ye Yuan's eyesight was excellent. With one look, his expression darkened.

"Ye Yuan, do you know them?" Yue Mengli noticed Ye Yuan's change in expression and asked.
