“Normally, for lunatics like this, Ye Yu would recommend humane extermination!”
“I’ve told you twice already — I’m your ancestor.”
“Now, your ancestor wants you dead. Whether you want to or not, you’ll die!”
Saying that, Ye Yu stepped forward, ready to finish off Li Xuanyi.
At that moment, a figure suddenly blocked the latter’s path.
It was none other than Tang Sha, Sect Master of Xuandu Cliff.
“You’ve already won, but you absolutely cannot kill him! Otherwise, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!”
Hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but sneer softly.
He quietly asked, “If right now I and Li Xuanyi switched places, and the one who falls is me, would you stop him?”
Tang Sha said nothing, but his meaning was clear.
He couldn’t stop Li Xuanyi — nor did he have the right to.
Ye Yu continued, “In that case, it’s a bit unfair.”
“He can kill me, but I can’t kill him.”
“Then what’s the point of this duel? What’s the meaning of the sect competition?”
Outside the arena, Wenzihao, Sect Master of Kunshen Palace, stepped forward.
In a deep voice he said, “Tang Sha, what you’re doing breaks the rules! In the sect competition, duels are not allowed to—”
Before he could finish, Tang Sha sharply interrupted.
“Rules, rules, I don’t care! All I know is that he can’t die!”
“And you, brat from Zhutiang Workshop.”
“Where in this world is true fairness?”
“Some people struggle their whole lives but only get halfway up the mountain, never even qualified to look at the summit.”
“While others are born standing atop the Blood Moon, looking down on all beings.”
“This is the reality of the Demon Realm!”
Tang Sha’s words fell like thunder, clear and loud enough for everyone present to hear.
Many demons fell silent.
Though harsh to hear, it was the bitter truth.
Li Xuanyi struggled to rise, placing one hand on Tang Sha’s shoulder.
He gave Ye Yu a sinister grin.
“Feeling powerless, aren’t you?”
“No matter how much you want to kill me, you simply can’t!”
“Join me, and I’ll make that old dog Tang Sha crawl at your feet instantly. How about that?”
Hearing this, the muscles on Tang Sha’s face twitched uncontrollably, but he said nothing.
Ye Yu shook his head slightly.
“Powerless? I really don’t feel that way.”
“I’m going to kill you right now, and he’s not worthy to stop me!”
With that, Ye Yu strode forward.
Tang Sha firmly stood in front of Li Xuanyi and raised his right hand.
Seeing this, Huangfu Jin could no longer hold back and prepared to step forward to stop Tang Sha, so Ye Yu could focus on what he wanted to do.
But at that moment, someone was even faster!
On the flat ground appeared a huge blood-red demonic claw, instantly grasping Tang Sha’s entire body in its palm.
Countless demonic runes surged across it.
No matter how Tang Sha struggled, he could not break free.
A short and stocky figure appeared behind Ye Yu.
It was the long-unseen death soldier Zhao Jia.
With the kindest expression, he spoke the coldest words.
“Don’t move, or I’ll really beat you to death!”
The smile on Li Xuanyi’s face froze instantly.
Ye Yu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his neck, lifting him high into the air.
Seeing this, Tang Sha shouted loudly.
“You can’t kill him! He’s the only son of Demon Lord Li Yao! If you kill him, all of you will die!”
Demon Lord Li Yao?
Hearing that name, everyone present changed expression.
The Demon Lord of Nirvana Province, the current real powerhouse dominating the Demon Realm.
His only son?
If he died here, that would definitely be a huge problem.
Kunshen Palace Sect Master Wenzihao’s face darkened and shifted.
He stepped forward and said, “Young friend, I hope you consider the bigger picture and let him go for now.”
“Let’s talk things through slowly. Don’t be impulsive and ruin the fates of others.”
Ye Yu glanced back at Wenzihao.
The latter immediately smiled, and just as he was about to speak again, Ye Yu suddenly delivered a punch.
In an instant, Li Xuanyi’s body shattered.
At the same time, the system’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Detected host successfully killed Ding Yuewang, random strip plunder initiated!”
“Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully plundered the strip ‘King of Hundred Battles’ (Gold): By continuously fighting, cultivation accelerates rapidly. Truly becoming stronger through combat, his life is ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) destined for battle!”
A smile appeared on Ye Yu’s face. He hadn’t expected such luck.
Among Li Xuanyi’s three strips, he had drawn the gold-tier King of Hundred Battles. Truly fortunate!
Wait, no — maybe it was the luck from his green strip working in tandem.
Ah!!!
An angry roar interrupted Ye Yu’s thoughts.
He looked up and saw Tang Sha trapped by the demonic claw shouting out.
“It’s over! Everything’s over! The Young Lord is dead! You’re all doomed! Even I’m doomed!”
Tang Sha’s eyes were bloodshot, tears silently rolling down his cheeks.
Zhao Jia disdainfully glanced at Tang Sha, then respectfully knelt down and said in a deep voice, “Young Lord, how shall we deal with this person?”
The words “Young Lord” were spoken with full strength and authority.
Kunshen Palace Sect Master Wenzihao and many other demon sect leaders’ faces changed once more.
What? There’s a master?
In the Demon Realm, the title “Young Lord” is not casually used.
Only if your father is a Demon Lord can you rightfully be called Young Lord.
Otherwise, it’s complete nonsense!
Could it be that Ye Yu’s father is also a Demon Lord of some province?
Exactly. Otherwise, how could he make a grand demon of the Xuandemon realm kneel before him?
(Warm reminder: Demon Realm cultivation ranks from low to high — Earth Demon, Heaven Demon, Xuandemon, Demon King, Demon Lord, Demon Monarch, Demon Venerable, Demon Emperor.)
However, Zhao Jia’s reason for deliberately revealing Ye Yu’s identity now was not to show off.
He wanted to use this identity to intimidate some petty fellows!
After all, a name shapes reputation.
Demon Lord Li Yao was infamous for brutality. If he learned his only son had died in the sect competition,
He would certainly take revenge on many heads.
At this moment, it was hard to guarantee that some selfish people, hoping to save themselves,
Wouldn’t seize the chance to capture Ye Yu and hand him over to Li Yao.
Demons are unpredictable. Too many have no bottom line, making them impossible to trust.
Therefore, Zhao Jia wanted to warn the sect leaders present — don’t think of any underhanded schemes!
