“Hold it!”
Abruptly, the Five-clawed Silver Dragon blocked Ye Zhen's path, lazily swishing its claws with eyes blazing fierce glow, locking onto him unblinkingly. Atop the Silver Dragon's head stood Yuann Yinying, peering down at Ye Zhen in utter superiority.
Two solid beams of gaze, laden with intense Divine Soul pressure, streaked toward Ye Zhen like piercing arrows.
“Hmm?”
Ye Zhen raised his head, his eyes turning razor-sharp as he met it squarely.
Pop!
A faint burst echoed as the two gazes shattered in the empty void, making Yuann Yinying's eyes twitch faintly while Ye Zhen looked taken aback.
Yuann Yinying never imagined that Di Kuohai would scarcely falter beneath his Divine Soul's might.
Ye Zhen felt shocked that Yuann Yinying's Divine Soul pressure had overwhelmed him somewhat, even though he had long condensed his Primordial Spirit.
Put simply, Yuann Yinying had formed his Primordial Spirit ages ago too.
“What, does the elder brother now step in after the younger one's defeat? When your brother falls, do you come forth as his senior to reclaim honor?” Ye Zhen jeered, striking first.
Yuann Yinying's challenge swiftly pulled back numerous Martial Artists on the verge of departing, sensing a grand show brewing.
In particular, those Martial Artists crushed earlier returned eagerly for the drama, yearning to witness Ye Zhen's downfall.
Ye Zhen had been the prime reason for their crushing losses moments ago. Should Yuann Yinying crush Ye Zhen and make him pay, it would soothe their grudges vicariously.
“Regain honor for that trash Yuann Hongying? I'm neither that bored nor inclined,” came Yuann Yinying's surprising retort.
“Yet today, that fool Yuann Hongying tarnished the Holy Eagle Family's name. I stand here solely to purge our clan's stain,” Yuann Yinying declared.
Ye Zhen's pupils contracted, “Purge the Holy Eagle Family's stain? Pray tell, how exactly do you plan to do that?”
“Naturally, by crushing you right here and slaying you on the spot!” Yuann Yinying eyed Ye Zhen boldly, like a hunter eyeing prey for the fatal strike.
At those words, Ye Zhen erupted in laughter, “Excellent! Today I've seen your Holy Eagle Family's tactics. Such a brilliant way to purge shame.
Me, a mere Fifth Stage of Divine Communication Realm cultivator, merits your clan's Half-step Dao Realm expert to wash away disgrace!
It's akin to kids brawling, then the loser's adults charging in for payback!
Your clan's purging method is truly one-of-a-kind and utterly shameless! Bravo, bravo!” Ye Zhen mock-saluted repeatedly.
Yuann Yinying's face darkened, while scattered snickers rippled through the encircling Martial Artists. Their meaning rang crystal clear.
Those laughs flushed Yuann Yinying's aged features with burning shame.
Ye Zhen hadn't pondered the comparison before, but now that he did, it undeniably fit….
Yet the issue remained: what Fifth Stage of Divine Communication Realm powerhouse wielded such freakish might like you, Di Kuohai?
Forget Fifth Stage of Divine Communication Realm—even typical Middle Stage of Realm King Realm experts paled against your monstrosity, Di Kuohai!
Still, by raw power and battle prowess, Ye Zhen was outrageously abnormal. Yuann Yinying deemed it justified to step in and discipline Di Kuohai.
However, exposing the cultivation gap, especially as Yuann Hongying's kin, cast Yuann Yinying's move as rather overbearing.
High above, Mountain God Yi Xun, who had been mulling countermeasures since Yuann Yinying's arrival, covertly flashed Ye Zhen a thumbs-up.
Ye Zhen's quick wit shone brilliantly.
In mere moments, a handful of barbs had cornered Yuann Yinying into a defensive bind.
Yet Yuann Yinying, forged by countless ordeals, wouldn't buckle from mere words.
“Glib tongue indeed, but today, no matter your silver speech, you'll clash with me—or dream not of departing alive.”
Then Yuann Yinying's lips twisted into a icy smirk, “Battle me; with your true prowess, survival might be possible. Dodge alone, and death is certain today.”
“Oh?” Ye Zhen's gaze shifted, a wisp of Evil Qi swirling faintly around him.
“Give it a shot!”
“If I choose to flee, you can't halt me!” Ye Zhen scoffed. Before Yuann Yinying could respond, Ye Zhen's form blinked out of sight.
As Ye Zhen vanished, Yuann Yinying stiffened, unleashing his immense Divine Soul Power in waves across every direction like rippling tides—only for his face to freeze anew.
No sign of Ye Zhen anywhere.
Instantly, a Divine Soul tempest erupted from Yuann Yinying at its core. His eyes flared with surging cyan radiance, resembling hawkish glare, sweeping all around.
Mountain God Yi Xun's countenance shifted sharply upon witnessing this. He knew it as the Holy Eagle Family's bloodline gift: the Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye.
Mastered to perfection, this Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye pierced through the Circulation Ten Thousand Realms, unveiling sights billions of miles distant.
Alas, within the Holy Eagle Family, only their Ancestor had attained such heights.
Even so, any Holy Eagle clansman awakening the Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye rendered all concealment futile before it.
Be it Five Elements Escape Technique or burrowing through spatial folds, the Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye pierced through relentlessly.
As Yuann Yinying's Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye roved everywhere, Mountain God Yi Xun grasped that Ye Zhen's hiding spot was doomed; discovery by Yuann Yinying loomed inevitable.
Not just Mountain God Yi Xun—Cui Shi of Ming Mountain Hall, six concealed Dao Realm powerhouses in the void, and myriad Martial Artists versed in the Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye—all realized Di Kuohai would soon be yanked out by Yuann Yinying.
One breath, two breaths, three….
After ten breaths, Yuann Yinying's face soured, his ocular spirit glow intensifying fiercely.
Yet even maxing the Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye, past twenty, thirty, nay sixty breaths, as he scoured the Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye's range—even probing spatial layers—no trace of Ye Zhen emerged.
Yuann Yinying's visage grew thunderously dark!
“Fled that swiftly?” Yuann Yinying grumbled under his breath, as if excusing himself, carving an escape.
Then he thundered, “Di Kuohai, you may flee but not forever. Today you've smeared the Holy Eagle Family's dignity—this insult demands blood to cleanse!
Whether you hear or not, in five days, Dulong Island shall drown in blood!” Yuann Yinying bellowed savagely.
“Drown Dulong Island in blood?” Mountain God Yi Xun's expression twisted, “Third Young Master Yuann, Dulong Island Market belongs to our Five Immortals Hall—pray reconsider!”
Yuann Yinying shot Mountain God Yi Xun a frosty glare, “I know only it's Di Kuohai's turf. If Five Immortals Hall holds shares, pull out fast to dodge ruin.”
Those words blackened Mountain God Yi Xun's face instantly, “Third Young Master Yuann….”
“Yo, you Yuann brothers hooked on humiliation! Yuann Hongying menaced me with Dulong Island, luring me to duel under full moon!” Ye Zhen's voice boomed abruptly from the void.
Ye Zhen's voice jolted Yuann Yinying with a sharp pang—he'd just swept a hundred miles without spotting Ye Zhen.
He'd assumed Ye Zhen had fled afar, yet here he returned.
Explosive blue light surged from Yuann Yinying's eyes anew, activating Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye toward the voice's source to haul Ye Zhen forth.
But the Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye sweep left Yuann Yinying dumbfounded once more, another dull throb—no one there.
Impossible!
Beneath the Holy Eagle Family's Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye—even wielded by him—ninety-nine percent of Dao Realm masters couldn't evade, let alone a puny Divine Communication Realm fry.
This broke all logic!
Worse still for Yuann Yinying, failing to expose Di Kuohai while that irksome voice droned on.
“I humored Yuann Hongying's threat since Dulong Island Market yields profits—clashed on full moon night and triumphed.
But who knew, after beating Yuann Hongying, you'd show up as brother, wielding Dulong Island Market to force a fight.
I'm wondering: beat you, Yuann Yinying, and will your Yuann Family's eagle elder swoop to aid, or must the eagle hen that birthed you chicks descend on me too?”
Ye Zhen shouldn't have invoked 'eagle,' but at 'eagle,' Yuann Yinying exploded in fury, “Insolent cur!”
Rage contorted Yuann Yinying's features as he yearned to smite Ye Zhen, yet even with Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye blazing eerie green, no sign appeared.
This deadlock grated unbearably.
Even worse, Ye Zhen's vexing voice persisted!
“Temper flaring? Struck a nerve? Does your Yuann Family truly cycle elders after juniors fall? I'm not emerging—what's your move?” Ye Zhen mocked.
Yuann Yinying boiled over completely; he'd seen Yuann Hongying routed and pegged Di Kuohai as tricky, but not this maddeningly elusive.
Not even Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye could pinpoint him.
“Di Kuohai, if you've got guts, show yourself!” Yuann Yinying roared.
“Hmph, if your Yuann Family retains any shame, quit threatening with Dulong Island! Think it scares me?
One word from me, Dulong Island Market shuts down, I vanish into the wilds—good luck tracking!
Then I'll have scribes etch your Yuann Family's epic exploits and broadcast worldwide, bestowing eternal glory!
I'm not coming out—what can you do?” Ye Zhen's indolent tone reverberated across the whole sea!
Humiliatingly, despite Yuann Yinying's blazing wrath and Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye at full throttle, Ye Zhen's position remained elusive.
