【Tang Fangzhan and E Sandian hovered on either side, trapping Ye Yu between them, their expressions filled with fury.】
【“What kind of technique is this? Why is it... so... underhanded!”】
【In Tang Fangzhan’s restrained voice rang endless humiliation.】
【Logically speaking, everyone here is at least at the peak of the King Realm.】
【Whether in the Underworld or in the Demon Realm, they’re all renowned figures.】
【Even if one resorts to unconventional methods, kid, you can’t lean this far! You’ve tilted all the way to your great-great-grandma’s house!】
【“I can accept being defeated by you, but I absolutely cannot accept you ruining my reputation like this.”】
【“Worse than my friend Wang Dan spinning his top!”】
【“If word of this gets out, I truly won’t be able to live it down.”】
【In that moment, Tang Fangzhan’s murderous intent toward Ye Yu surged a hundredfold.】
【Beside him, E Sandian shared the same fury.】
【“The highest level of social death is to be disgraced before the one you cherish most.”】
【“I’ve secretly loved my junior sister for a hundred thousand years, and you make me suffer such humiliation? How could she ever love someone... pocketed like a trinket?”】
【“Kid, I will never forgive you!”】
【In his indignation, E Sandian sent out a sliver of his mind to secretly observe You Hua’s expression.】
【Indeed. He could only cling to a shred of hope that his sister had noticed nothing. After all, his flash-step had been but a moment—and it happened just as she’d lost all her cultivation.】
【“Perhaps... maybe... probably... roughly... she doesn’t know?”】
【Otherwise, E Sandian wouldn’t even have the courage to stand here.】
【Facing their furious glares, Ye Yu not only ignored them but even wore a look of delight.】
【“Feels good. Half-step Emperor Realm experts, each of you just contributed 800,000 negative emotion points.”】
【“One hundred sixty million every two seconds—what a rush!”】
【Ye Yu laughed and said “Underhanded or not, it’s just a small trick. And I’m very socially anxious—bullied like this, I’ll get so nervous I might pull another trick.”】
【Hearing this, E Sandian and Tang Fangzhan nearly died of rage on the spot.】
【“You bastard! Who’s bullying whom here?”】
【Above their heads appeared two more numbers.】
【One said 550,000; the other 580,000.】
【Ye Yu inhaled deeply—another million negative emotion points in hand.】
【“Huh, wait—this fat ghost is quite malleable. He generated 30,000 more negative points than that mantis demon.”】
【“Clearly, this guy has quite a temper!”】
【“Let’s do it again!”】
【When Ye Yu raised his right hand finger again, Tang Fangzhan didn’t hesitate and turned to flee.】
【His figure vanished in an instant.】
【To force back a half-step Demon Emperor—perhaps even the founder of this art never imagined it.】
【But in this world, there are always heroes. Such as E Sandian!】
【The massive ghost didn’t dodge at all but charged straight at Ye Yu.】
【He unleashed Flying Waterfall Three Thousand Feet.】
【E Sandian’s brow furrowed slightly—he’d clearly been hit.】
【Yet his speed did not diminish in the slightest.】
【He was evidently determined to fight to the death with Ye Yu.】
【No matter how excruciating, he would slay Ye Yu.】
【One must admit, you’re truly a wolf-man: to withstand such torment, I’ll call you the strongest.】
【“Die!”】
【With a roar, E Sandian formed a colossal axe in his hand and brought it down with tremendous force.】
【Now that his qi had locked onto Ye Yu, there was nowhere to dodge.】
【“Junior sister, although your senior brother is sullied, I will avenge you!”】
【What E Sandian did not expect was that Ye Yu neither dodged nor blocked but instead punched the axe head-on.】
【Madness—how dare he directly clash his soul-body against a mid-grade Ghost-Immortal weapon?】
【E Sandian’s eyes widened.】
【In the next moment, an image shattered all his notions.】
【The mid-grade Ghost-Immortal Axe of Soul Seizure shattered into fragments at Ye Yu’s punch.】
【On Ye Yu’s fist appeared only a faint white mark—so shallow it could be missed at a glance.】
【E Sandian was stunned.】
【Ghosts are spirit-bodies—ethereal and soft, not rigid.**
【How could one shatter a mid-grade Ghost-Immortal weapon?**】
【Are you kidding?】
【While E Sandian gaped, Ye Yu suddenly appeared before him.】
【He unleashed the Supreme Ghost Art Burn the Nine Nether(焚尽九幽).】
【Black flames instantly engulfed E Sandian.】
【Two breaths later, the ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) half-step Ghost Emperor was gone without a trace.】
【It proved that even as a ghost, one could use the Demon Art Mo Lintian; but to kill a ghost, Burn the Nine Nether was more appropriate.】
【Three attacked, two fled, one died. The matter settled—except for one ghost beast still on the field.】
【Seeing his senior brother fall, You Hua’s first thought was to flee.】
【But with no cultivation, she couldn’t get far.】
【So You Hua sought a hiding place, planning to leave after Ye Yu departed.】
【Just as she searched, she suddenly found Ye Yu standing before her.**
【“Ah!”**
【You Hua cried, stumbling backward.**
【“Don’t kill me—I swear by the Dao I’ll never seek you again!”**
【Ye Yu said nothing, merely looked up at her.**
【Above her head floated the number 13 of negative emotion.**
【“Too little—pointless to keep,” Ye Yu snapped his fingers.**
【Black flames rose, consuming the female ghost completely.】
【After this, Ye Yu did not rush into the portal.**
【He said calmly, “You’ve been around so long without showing yourself—what exactly do you want?”**
【No sooner had he spoken than a golden figure appeared in the distance, approaching with lotus-stepping grace.**
【In a few paces, he stood before Ye Yu.**
【A young monk in kasaya, golden Buddhist sutras faintly swirling around him.**
【His aura made Ye Yu deeply uneasy, two thoughts arising:**
【Kill this monk swiftly—or leave immediately.**
【And as time passed, both urges grew stronger.**
【The monk’s expression serene, he spoke softly: “You must be the Underworld Sage Ye Yu. I am Rukong.”**
【Ye Yu’s head was filled with black lines.**
【“Is this going too far? Even a monk from the Buddha Realm knows my name—have I hired astroturfers to praise me?”】
