【E Sandian did not waste any extra words, glanced at You Hua with pity, and set up a protective formation around her. Then he strode straight forward!】
【Each of his steps, though extremely slow, was astonishingly steady.】
【So steady that the very ground began to tremble violently!】
【And E Sandian’s body grew larger and larger!】
【Within just ten paces, he was nearly a thousand zhang tall.】
【It was unimaginable how terrifying he would be when he finally faced Ye Yu!】
【“Immortal scum, those who stand in my way will die!”】
【This declaration from E Sandian was obviously aimed at Feng Yong and Feng Futan.】
【Yet they showed no hint of anger, only amused smiles!】
【“What an idiot!”】
【“You have no idea how ferocious this ghost beast is, do you?”】
【“No, ‘ferocious’ isn’t the right word – it should be ‘terrifying.’”】
【“Anyone who’s been on the receiving end of Flying Waterfall Three Thousand Feet would always feel a warm glow at their back!”】
【Very soon, E Sandian’s height had exceeded three thousand zhang, looking like a colossal ghost mountain.】
【Just as he raised his hand to press Ye Yu into the ground...】
【A blade of chilling light suddenly streaked across the sky, cleaving through E Sandian’s massive arm!】
【Everything was sliced apart as smoothly as silk!】
【E Sandian did not look at his severed arm, but instead stared toward the Celestial Realm’s portal.】
【A tall, slender man emerged, holding two exquisitely sharp longswords.】
【Indeed, this was the Demonic Clan’s Tang Fangzhan!】
【Half-step Emperor Realm?】
【Tang Fangzhan’s appearance sent a jolt through Feng Yong and Feng Futan, both Immortal King Realm powerhouses.】
【Though only at the half-step Emperor threshold, it was still an insurmountable gulf for them!】
【With such a being protecting Ye Yu, they truly couldn’t make a move!】
【However, Tang Fangzhan’s next words filled Feng Yong and Feng Futan with delight!】
【“This ghost beast is my prey. I won’t allow it to die by your hands! All of you, back off at once!”】
【“Otherwise, before I kill it, I’ll cut you down too!”】
【The latter threat was clearly directed at E Sandian!】
【His cultivation level was the same as Ye Yu’s, both at the peak of the Ghost King Realm.】
【He did not retreat an inch, but turned to look at You Hua.】
【“Ye Yu has tormented my junior sister into this state—how could I just hand him over?”】
【“Half-step Demon Emperor Realm, you say? It may indeed be formidable!”】
【“But to make me back down on that alone? Impossible!”】
【“If Ghost King Realm peak isn’t enough to compete with you, why not take one more step?”】
【With that, E Sandian suddenly took a step forward and opened his mouth wide toward the blood-red moon above!】
【In the next moment, an incredible sight unfolded!】
【Countless ghostly qi and black clouds surged crazily into E Sandian’s maw, and the position of the crimson blood moon began to shift!】
【In the end, tendrils of red even peeled away and fell downward!】
【Ye Yu couldn’t help lifting an eyebrow: even the power of the Underworld’s crimson blood moon could be devoured? Truly unexpected!】
【But two breaths later...】
【E Sandian had not only regrown his severed arm, but red ghost-patterns had spread across his body!】
【They exuded a mysterious power!】
【One look and one could fall deeply into them, utterly losing oneself!】
【E Sandian closed his mouth, slowly clenched his right fist, and a savage aura swept across the battlefield!】
【In this critical moment, he had broken through into the half-step Ghost Emperor Realm!】
【No one present had anticipated such an event!】
【Especially Feng Yong and Feng Futan!】
【“Damn!”】
【“Is half-step Emperor Realm really this easy to enter? Just like that?”】
【“Too casual, isn’t it?”】
【E Sandian ignored their envious, resentful gazes and instead looked at Tang Fangzhan opposite him!】
【“Now, it’s you who should back off! Or, if you refuse, let us fight—whoever wins claims him!”】
【At this proposal, Tang Fangzhan agreed without hesitation!】
【“So be it—let’s fight!”】
【Standing between them, Ye Yu furrowed his brow, his expression uneasy.】
【“What is this?”】
【“Unbelievable—without me saying a word, two half-step Emperors are ready to kill each other for me?”】
【“Great headline material!”】
【“If this ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) were a romance novel for women, it would sell like crazy!”】
【“But I’m a man!”】
【“Being treated as a free bonus by a ghost and a demon? Are you overestimating yourselves or underestimating me?”】
【Before Ye Yu could intervene, Feng Futan spoke first.】
【“Gentlemen, hold on! Since we’re all here to slay Ye Yu, why not subdue him first and then decide who gets to keep him? My brother and I harbor no selfish motives—we’re only worried he might escape!”】
【Tang Fangzhan and E Sandian said nothing, both casting their gazes on Ye Yu!】
【“He has a point.”】
【“After all, he is at the peak of the Ghost King Realm—if he slips away now, chasing him later will be troublesome!”】
【Seeing their hesitation, Feng Futan and Feng Yong exchanged a glance.】
【They understood the situation perfectly.】
【Two half-step Emperors clashing meant they stood no chance of killing Ye Yu themselves.】
【But that mattered little—if Ye Yu were subdued and thrashed, their vengeance would be satisfied!】
【That was their only concern—fearing Ye Yu’s escape.】
【Nothing else mattered!】
【Ye Yu sighed deeply.】
【“Have I really given you face? Letting you stand here and fight over me? Do you even deserve that? Is reaching half-step Emperor Realm invincibility itself? Come then, all of you—enjoy the blossoming of fresh flowers!”】
【At his last words, Ye Yu swept his sleeve!】
【Feng Yong and Feng Futan’s faces instantly contorted!】
【“Oh no, that feeling again!”】
【“What’s happening—why didn’t the Jue Ming Fans block it?”】
【“Here it comes!”】
【Feng Yong and Feng Futan screamed as they were flung far away, yet still managed to shout back one fierce promise!】
【“Just you wait—we’ll be back!”】
【Tang Fangzhan and E Sandian also fared poorly.】
【Though it was their first time experiencing it, they could already guess what would happen next!】
【But precisely because of that, their confusion was boundless!】
【“Something’s off!”】
【“We’re already half-step Emperors—how can such a thing exist?”】
【But they had no time to ponder.】
【In an instant, both vanished from their spots, and when they reappeared, their attire had completely changed!】
(I came out of town to see the sea, fell ill from the change of environment, and took a day off. My head hurts too much.)
