"Bah! Hu Yan that fellow might have long be dead already! These dozen over years, their Darkfiend Tiger Clan did not look after us the tiniest bit at all. On what basis should my Purple Flood Dragon Clan still work ourselves to the bone for them for?" Zi Feng said.
"You shut your jinx mouth! Lord Hu Yan's might is immensely formidable! How can he possibly die?! You dared to betray Lord Hu Yan! Prepare to have an awareness of death then!" Xiong Zhan said in an uncontrollable rage.
"Heh heh, you this dumb bear! Who knows how many demon races in the Darkfiend Tiger Clan's territory have already given rise to the thought. Do you think that there's only my Purple Flood Dragon Clan? Only you, this dumb bear, would be foolishly loyal to Hu Yan that fellow! Today, exterminating you, this big dumb bear, there will naturally be the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan to back me up!' Zi Feng said with a cold laugh.
Ye Yuan listened to the two people's conversation and could not help recalling Yu Huan's repeated warnings. He also did not think that he would bump into the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan so quickly.
If he let them knew that he possessed the dragon race's bloodline, his outcome would probably not be good.
Listening to it, the Darkfiend Tiger Clan and the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan seemed to be sworn enemies. And the Darkfiend Tiger Clan's boss' life or death was unknown currently, resulting in the thoughts of the various subordinate demon clans to drift.
The bear clan was all very simple and honest and did not give rise to this thought at all. But the Purple Flood Dragon Clan adjacent to them probably had the intent to rebel long ago already. That was why they threw their lots in with the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan in secret.
Ye Yuan saw that an old man accompanied by that flying carriage's side. His strength was unfathomable. He was probably still even stronger than Xiong Zhan.
This matter today was likely unable to be settled already.
That flying carriage came close in front very quickly. A hawk-nosed young man sat in the carriage, looking very haughty; as if everyone in his eyes were like ants.
This person was naturally the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan's Young Lord, Peng Yun.
At this time, a youth on the other side of the carriage came in front and said to everybody very arrogantly, "Young Lord Peng Yun has arrived! Why haven't you all paid respects?"
Zi Feng disregarded the wounds on his body and hurriedly gave a bow and said, "Lesser clan's Zi Feng, pays respects to Young Lord Peng Yun, Elder Peng Hai!"
The clan head of a clan, that attitude was unbelievably obsequious.
While Xiong Zhan had a somber look and did not have the intention of paying respects at all.
That youth said in a great rage when he saw the situation, 'You, this lowly bear clan! Saw Young Lord Peng Yun and still not paying respects?!"
The Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan also possessed the bloodline of an ancient divine beast. Their divine beast bloodline was extremely thick; it was much stronger than the Purple Flood Dragons, Firesource True Dipper Bears, and the others.
Xiong Zhan expression changed, and he said with a cold snort, "I, Xiong Zhan, only recognizes Lord Hu Yan, and I don't recognize any Young Lord Peng Yun! Want to make me, Old Xiong, pay respects? Dream on!"
When Ye Yuan heard Xiong Zhan's words, he nodded his head slightly too.
Among the demon clans, to have such integrity was not easy.
One had to know that offending Peng Yun now was risking the danger of clan extermination. But Xiong Zhan did not even furrow his brows.
The youth exclaimed in a great rage, "Creature that refuses face when given! To actually dare be disrespectful towards Young Lord! The Darkfiend Tiger Clan is already nearing its end! In the future, this Dongming Region, only my Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan have the final say! You still don't know how to appreciate favors?! We'll exterminate your clan!"
"F*ck your bullshit! Lord Hu Yan's means are immensely formidable! You all dare to jump around, you'll be taken care of by him sooner or later one day!" Xiong Zhan said.
"Hahaha! You this dumb bear! To actually still harbor illusions about Hu Yan! Let me tell you, Hu Yan was hurt by the Azure Spirit Tree over ten years ago. Right now, even if he's not dead, he's pretty much a cripple too! This Young Lord will give you a chance right now. If you're still impervious to sense, today will be the day of your Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan's extermination!" The Peng Yun who had not spoken the entire time finally opened his mouth.
Xiong Zhan's expression changed, and he could not help looking at the clansmen behind him, his face showing a look of reluctance.
"Huhu, that's it. You, as the clan head, if all your clansmen die at your hands, then you'll be the Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan's eternal sinner! Can you . . . accept that?" Peng Yun seemed to be able to see through thoughts, guiding gently.
Xiong Zhan suddenly turned around. Ye Yuan saw it plainly. A drop of tear water actually flowed down from his eye!
"Children . . . do you all . . . fear death or not?" Xiong Zhan asked sonorously and imposingly.
"Not afraid!"
Chapter 654 - Borrowing Name to Challenge!
"Not afraid!"
These two words, those bears virtually uttered it in unison from different mouths without the slightest hesitation.
Bringing along a moving and tragic aura surging towards the sky!
The moment these two words came out, it was expressing their will with death!
Don't look at how each and every one of these bears was all slow-witted normally. At this time, all of them had lofty and unyielding characters that reached the clouds. To say that they were doomsday heroes was not over the top too.
Each and every one of that expression, in Ye Yuan's view . . . was actually somewhat cute.
When Xiong Zhan saw this scene, tears involuntarily coursed down his old face. He nodded and said, "Good! Good children! Lord Hu Yan's debt of gratitude towards our bear clan is as weighty as a mountain! Today, we'll repay the favor with death!"
Xiong Zhan turned around abruptly, stared at Peng Yun, and said, "Did you hear that, brat? Want to make my bear clan surrender? Can't. . . do . . . that!"
Peng Yun originally had a look like everything was under control. But the expression currently was frighteningly grim.
Xiong Zhan's actions were truly flinging a resounding slap on his face, making him lose all face.
"Since that's the case, this Young Lord will fulfill your wishes! Peng Hai, exterminate them for me!" Peng Yun said each word slowly.
"Young Lord Peng Yun, Zi Feng has a presumptuous request!" Peng Hai was just about to make a move when Zi Feng suddenly came forward and said.
Peng Yun did not even give him a glance and said coldly, "Speak!"
But Zi Feng's gaze was looking at Ye Yuan as he said with a cold smile, "Young Lord, can you hand that punk over to me? Xiong Zhan he was originally inflicted with a deadly poison. My Purple Flood Dragon Clan could have originally taken down the bear clan as easy as overturning one's hands. Yet, this punk opposed Young Lord and cured Xiong Zhan!"
Hearing Zi Feng's words, Xiong Zhan's expression could not help changing drastically.
Ye Yuan was his benefactor. It was fine if they died. But if they implicated Ye Yuan, he would die with endless regrets.
"Zi Feng, don't you sow discord here! Ye Yuan doesn't know our two clans' matters at all! He only came to help out of goodwill! If you dare to touch a single hair of his, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost!" Xiong Zhan glared fiercely at Zi Feng and said.
Peng Yun hearing Zi Feng's words, looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly, and he said, " Oh? Human? This boy only has merely Tier 4 strength, and he could actually resolve the poison in the body of a Tier 6 demon? Looks like he's quite capable! Uh . . . A pity that he's a human. Otherwise, he could work for me. Since that's the case, kill him them!"
When Zi Feng heard the first half of the sentence, his heart leaped to his throat. He even thought that Pe
ng Yun took fancy upon Ye Yuan's capability.
Only upon hearing the last sentence did he finally set his mind at ease.
Getting the order, Zi Feng had indescribable satisfaction in his heart as he looked at Ye Yuan with a hideous grin and said, "Boy, didn't you want me to come and beat you earlier? Now, I'll see what you have to be stubborn! I'm going to tear this mouth of yours to shreds today and see if it's really that hard!"
Xiong Zhan was secretly anxious when he saw the situation. He was just about to make a move when he felt an extremely powerful aura lock onto him!
This Peng Hai's strength was middle-stage Tier 6. Moreover, the roc clan's bloodline strength was exceptionally formidable. Xiong Zhan was not a match at all!
Xiong Zhan hated in his heart. If he could break through to middle-stage Tier 6 earlier, he wouldn't be at the extent of being so helpless right now too!
Xiong Zhan had the resolve to die long ago. But seeing that Zi Feng actually implicated Ye YUan at this time, the remorse in his heart was indescribable.
If he knew that it was this kind of situation long ago, he should have let him leave first after Ye Yuan treated him!
"Ye Yuan! Quickly leave! What Old Xiong, I, owe you, I'll definitely pay back in my next life!" Xiong Zhan shouted.
"Run? Running where? With this old man here, can he still run? Hahaha!" Zi Feng chuckled madly.
Ye Yuan did not move there the whole time and did not speak either.
But at this time, he shot Zi Feng a nonchalant glance and said, "Lowly purple flood dragon bloodline is fit to be my opponent too?"
Even if Zi Feng was cunning and experienced with age, he was also infuriated by Ye Yuan's scornful attitude.
His purple flood dragon bloodline was one of the branches of the dragon race's bloodlines. Even though the bloodline was very impure, he had the chance to transform from a flood dragon to become a dragon too!
Even though this chance was very slim, it did not seem to have any relations with 'lowly,' this word, right?
"Lowly? You, a puny little human, actually dare to utter such wild ravings!"
Ye Yuan was completely disinclined to even give him a glance. His body suddenly erupted with an overwhelming dragon pressure!
The expressions of all the people present, after witnessing Ye Yuan's dragon pressure, changed drastically.
"Now . . . do you still have complaints about me saying that your bloodline is lowly?" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Zi Feng's expression changed. The embarrassment on his face could not be concealed no matter what.
In front of Ye Yuan, wasn't his, this Purple Flood Dragon Race, a lowly bloodline?
Flood dragon race, no matter how pure a bloodline flood dragon race, could not compare to the tiniest speck of the dragon race at all!
In front of the dragon race, the flood dragon race bloodline was trash!
Ye Yuan calling his bloodline lowly was not wrong at all!
All of the demon races present, nobody could refute this sentence of Ye Yuan's, including Peng Yung.
Zi Feng's face flushed scarlet, wanting to say something, but discovered how feeble words were currently.
Ye Yuan did not bother with him but slowly pulled aside his collar, revealing that piece of reverse scale below his neck.
Seeing that piece of emerald-green reverse scale, Peng Yun and Xiong Zhan's expression changed once more as they cried out in concert, "Dragon Lord!"
Xiong Zhan did not think that Ye Yuan was actually this generation's dragon lord. He cursed secretly in his heart.
The dragon lord and the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan were incompatible like water and fire. The Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan had once sent out the news that as long as the next dragon lord came into being, they would kill the dragon lord at all costs!
Now, Ye Yuan actually took the initiative to expose his own status as dragon lord. This . . . Wasn't this courting death?
Indeed, Peng Yun's and Peng Hai's expressions currently both changed, becoming rather terrifying.
Very clearly, the current Ye Yuan's weight in their eyes had already far surpassed Xiong Zhan's.
Seeing this scene, Xiong Zhan heart involuntarily pounded.
Ye Yuan wasn't doing this in order to save the bear clan, right? But his strength was only Tier 4. Wasn't doing so striking a rock with an egg?
It was just that no matter what the result was, the favor that Xiong Zhan owed Ye Yuan this time was massive.
"I heard that my predecessor once killed a roc young lord. Didn't think that I'd run into the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan again today. Really quite fated. Huhu, it's just that I don't know if you have the guts to have a battle with me?" Ye Yuan looked straight at Peng Yun.
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Yuan was actually going to challenge Peng Yun!
One had to know that Peng Yun was late-stage Tier 5, while Ye Yuan was only middle-stage Tier 4. This huge disparity in strength was also too great.
Even if Ye Yuan was the dragon lord and possessed true dragon bloodline, the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan's bloodline power was extremely formidable too.
Even though it could not compare to the dragon race's, it still belonged to a first-rate bloodline.
Adding in that his strength was a major realm higher than Ye Yuan's, there was simply no fight between the two!
When Peng Hai saw Ye Yuan challenge Peng Yun, he could not help knitting his brows together slightly. Taking a step forward, he said, "Young Lord, this old man will go and kill him!"
"Hang on!" Peng Yun slowly got up from the flying carriage, walked in front of Peng Hai with his hands behind his back, and said, "The Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan's humiliation must be washed away by the roc clan's Young Lord! You're called Ye Yuan, right? This Young Lord will fulfill your wish today!"
Chapter 655 - Challenging the Other Party's Forte
"Young Lord, you mustn't fall for this boy's trickery! He laid everything b.a.r.e and challenged you. He probably has ill-intent!" Peng Hai warned.
Peng Yun smiled confidently and said, "Uncle Hai, you're also too cautious. My strength, could you still not be aware? With my strength, if I can't even take down a puny little Tier 4 Dragon Lord, how will I command the Dongming Region in the future? If I don't even dare to accept the challenge of the Dragon Lord, what qualifications do I still have to inherit the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan? Whatever moves he has, just unleash them. This Young Lord will receive it all!"
Indeed, this was a certain-win battle. Peng Yun had no reason to refuse.
Tier 5 against Tier 4; there was a difference of a major boundary. If he could still lose like this, then him, this Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan successor, would also have no face to come out and mix around in the future.
Ye Yuan highlighting his dragon lord identity, he, Peng Yun, would have to accept this challenge.
The entire Dongming Region all knew that the Thousand Mountain Great Roc's Young Lord had died at the hands of the previous generation's dragon lord before. If he did not accept Ye Yuan's challenge, he would be a complete and utter wuss.
Ye Yuan was forcing him to the bitter end here!
Of course, in Peng Yun's view, Ye Yuan was forcing himself to the bitter end!
When Peng Hai heard Peng Yun say so, he naturally knew that he could not very well stop this either. But he would be sure to keep an eye tightly on Ye Yuan. As long as Ye Yuan had any weird ideas, he must deal a lightning-quick blow!
Peng Yun got down from the flying carriage and came before Ye Yuan. Shaking his head disdainfully, he said, "Didn't expect that this generation's dragon lord's strength is actually so lousy. If not for you flashing the reverse scale, I'd even somewhat suspect that you're a fake."
Ye Yuan was obviously fake. How was he some dragon lord?
But at this time, Ye Yuan was very grateful for this dragon lord identity.
This Peng Yun's appearance was too sudden. Ye Yuan did not have time to prepare anything. Hence, ever since Peng Yu
n appeared, Ye Yuan had been pondering on how to respond the entire time.
And the dragon lord identity was his only choice!
"Huhu, your predecessor was slaughtered by my predecessor. And today's results won't have any difference. Although the great roc clan has some skill, they are at the very best just an upstart too, forever too inferior to show in public," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.
To the Four Divine Beasts, this level of divine beast, the other demon races were all upstarts.
The dragon race had this confidence and also this pride.
Ye Yuan's performance made Peng Yun believe his identity even more. Because the previous generation dragon lord was as rampant as Ye Yuan.
Peng Yun's expression was dark as he said, "Creature who don't know life from death. To actually dare goad this Young Lord's baseline. You'll die very horribly!"
Even though the dragon race's might was universally acknowledged, in this God Prohibited Demon Region, apart from the appearance of a dragon lord every few years, there were no dragons existing.
Of course, there might be inside there. It was just that inside there was cut off from the world. Regardless of what happened in the outside world, they would not intervene either.
Even though they did not know where on earth the dragon lord came from, the greatest possibility was there!
Because that place, it was the most mysterious place! As mysterious as the dragon lord!
There had been records of dragon lords being killed before in history. But there had been no reaction from that place.
It was precisely because of this that the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan had the confidence to raise a hue and cry.
If from inside there had been any stirrings, what did the dragon lord killing the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan's young lord count for?
Peng Yun's Tier 5 aura was released fully. The pressure of the great roc bloodline was released, instantaneously enveloping everybody inside.
When Xiong Zhan saw this scene, his heart could not help sinking. He also did not expect that Peng Yun's divine beast Kun Peng bloodline would actually be so thick. It had most probably . . . already surpassed the previous generation's great roc young lord.
