Chapter 905: Killed with One Palm Strike

"Five hundred years of extended life!"

When Ye Yuan said this, everyone drew in a cold breath, their eyes burning with intense desire.

"Ye Yuan, if you know what's good for you, hand over the treasure! Otherwise, you'll die a miserable death!" Wu He said harshly.

Another person said, "Ye Yuan, I can give you a chance. As long as you hand the treasure over to me, I can guarantee your safety! With me here, no one dares touch you!"

This man was named Zhong Wubing, the top assassin under the command of the Nether Kill Lord, with unfathomable strength.

Wu He's expression changed upon hearing this, but he wisely kept silent.

Before Zhong Wubing, he had no capital to challenge him.

Ye Yuan suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Look at yourselves, all acting like you've got me cornered, right?"

Zhong Wubing said without joy or sorrow, "Do you still harbor illusions even now?"

"If you'd just searched for your treasure and left me alone, you could have lived a while longer. But you had to be blind and court death—I can't help that." Ye Yuan said helplessly.

Everyone exchanged glances, wondering where Ye Yuan's sense of superiority came from.

Here, there were many strong experts, and someone like Zhong Wubing ranked high on the Heavenly Assassin List. What gave Ye Yuan the right to bluster?

Could this kid have lost his mind?

"Arrogant and ignorant! Wu He, I won't interfere in your affairs, but as for the treasure, you understand." Zhong Wubing said indifferently.

Wu He was overjoyed inwardly; Zhong Wubing meant they would split the treasure equally.

But he also knew that the Heaven's Longevity Incense's effect only worked once; taking it again would surely be useless.

"Heh, rest assured, Brother Zhong, I know the drill!"

Wu He, looking as if he had Ye Yuan in his pocket, said smugly, "Kid, I told you long ago not to fall into my hands, but you wouldn't listen! Today, I'll let you taste my skills!"

Shao Kai's expression darkened, but he stepped in front of Ye Yuan and said, "Wu He, if you want to touch Ye Yuan, you'll have to get past me first!"

"Heh, Shao Kai, haven't you woken up yet? You think you can stop me?" Wu He sneered.

Ye Yuan patted Shao Kai on the shoulder and said calmly, "I'll handle this trash myself."

Shao Kai was speechless. Ye Yuan's self-confidence was too inflated. Saying such big talk, he wasn't afraid of biting his tongue.

Wu He was a top-100 expert on the Heavenly Assassin List; few Formless Realm martial artists could match him. Ye Yuan was only in the Heaven Enlightenment Realm; no matter how strong, he couldn't be Wu He's opponent.

"Fool, let me show you what absolute power is!"

Wu He let out a cold shout, and the pressure of a ninth-level Formless Realm instantly erupted, truly terrifying.

"On the newly released Heavenly Assassin List, Wu He jumped over thirty places—his progress is astonishing!"

"Indeed! The progress of those under the Blazing Flame Lord is remarkable; in time, he might become an existence like the Cold Blood Lord."

"Ye Yuan is too overconfident. Even if he could make the Heavenly Assassin List, a top-100 expert is not someone at his level can challenge."

Wu He, deliberately showing off, unleashed all his power at once. Many who saw this were secretly alarmed.

Seeing the surprised expressions, Wu He felt secretly pleased.

"Ye Yuan, see this! This is the gap in power between us. A mere Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat dares to act arrogant before me! Die!"

A shocking punch came straight at Ye Yuan's face.

At that moment, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and then struck out with a palm!

"Coiling Dragon Heaven-Shattering Palm!"

This time, no azure dragon burst forth; only a strange energy fluctuation emanated.

"Bang!"

Under everyone's stunned gaze, Wu He was directly shaken, spitting blood wildly, and fell to the ground unconscious.

Seeing this, Zhong Wubing's pupils contracted sharply, and he looked at Ye Yuan with piercing eyes.

He desperately wanted to see through what method Ye Yuan had used to defeat Wu He. But he couldn't figure it out at all.

Zhong Wubing admitted that the palm strike was powerful, but it should have been impossible to deal with Wu He.

Yet, what had gone wrong in between?

Zhong Wubing was utterly baffled!

Ye Yuan swept his gaze calmly over everyone and slowly said, "Now, does anyone else want to try?"

Wherever Ye Yuan's gaze passed, people lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

This single palm strike from Ye Yuan had completely stunned everyone.

Finally, Ye Yuan's gaze stopped on Zhong Wubing, and he said with a faint smile, "Brother Zhong, how about... you try it yourself? This Heaven's Longevity Incense can extend life by five hundred years."

Zhong Wubing's face darkened; he felt embarrassed.

But Ye Yuan's confident demeanor made him uncertain.

This kid was too eerie—clearly only at the Heaven Enlightenment Realm, yet he could severely injure Wu He with one palm.

Even Zhong Wubing himself couldn't achieve that so easily!

"Sizzle..."

"Not good! Wu He's protective barrier has been broken, triggering the grand formation!" someone exclaimed.

At that moment, a strange white flame descended from the sky, directly enveloping Wu He.

In just two breaths, Wu He was burned into a lump of charcoal, and then the white flame disappeared.

The arrogant Wu He was thus obliterated by the formation.

Seeing this, everyone's hearts turned cold.

The power of that white flame was terrifying; even a Lord-level expert would surely die if caught in it!

No wonder two Lord-level experts had fallen here last time.

Seeing this, Zhong Wubing's expression changed, and his intention to act vanished instantly. He said to Ye Yuan, "It seems I underestimated you! From now on, everyone searches for treasure on their own merits!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Who was Brother Zhong? He had backed down!

Zhong Wubing's words were equivalent to acknowledging Ye Yuan as his equal.

In the Slaughter Field, Zhong Wubing always had the final say. Today, he had yielded to a kid at the bottom of the Heavenly Assassin List.

Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Heh, wouldn't it have been better to say that earlier? You had to find someone to die! You all put on a united front—it's really laughable. I have a way to avoid those corpse guards; why should I fight to the death with you? If it were you, would you?"

Ye Yuan's words were extremely arrogant, but they spoke the truth.

If others had a way to avoid the corpse guards, they wouldn't wait for anyone else.

The reason these people put on a united front was that they thought Ye Yuan's group was easy to bully.

But they never expected such an outcome in the end.
