Iron Eagle's eyes turned intent and he said, "You're very clever. It's just a pity that you're going to become a dead man very soon!"
Chapter 1845 - A Sword Crossing the Void
Regarding this kind of words that brimmed with confidence, Ye Yuan had always turned his nose up at it. He just said coolly, "I should have warned him before not to come and provoke me!" His and Leng Xu's enmity, I'm not interested at all. Me and Leng Xu are just chance acquaintances, that's all."
Iron Eagle's brows furrowed when he heard that and said with a cold smile, "You want to clean yourself up with one sentence? Chance acquaintances, you would kill the Black Smoke Twin Fiends, and even send Young Master Xu back to the manor? Do you know that you ruined Young Master Hao's important matter?"
Ye Yuan did things based on his heart. It was just that this thing already happened, others naturally would not believe his explanation.
Killing the Black Smoke Twin Fiends was equivalent to declaring war on Leng Hao.
Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "They wanted to kill me. I shouldn't just extend my head over for him to chop, right?"
Iron Eagle said in a solemn voice, "No need to explain anymore. No matter what you think, you have to die today!"
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he laughed.
"Is a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity very impressive? Want to kill me, you can give it a try," Ye Yuan said very calmly.
"Fool who doesn't know what you're talking about. Now, I'll let you take a look at the disparity between initial-stage Celestial Deity Realm and middle-stage Celestial Deity Realm."
Iron Eagle's gaze turned dark, Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity's world power gushed out frenziedly, enveloping the entire alley inside.
Although the intel was wrong; Ye Yuan already broke through to Second Firmament Celestial Deity, to him, Iron Eagle, it was the same.
The result was all death!
Iron Eagle took out a Thundergod Hammer, akin to a god descending to earth, directly swiping it at Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was just about to make a move when his gaze suddenly turned intent, and he stopped.
When Iron Eagle saw the situation, a hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of his mouth. He thought that Ye Yuan saw his might and directly gave up resisting.
But right at this time, a figure suddenly showed up, blocking between the two people.
Rumble!
With a loud noise, Iron Eagle's figure flying out backward.
"Y-Young Master Xu!" Iron Eagle's face changed, not expecting to actually run into Leng Xu.
A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Leng Xu's mouth and he said, "My good big brother really can't wait! Being brothers, it really chills my heart!"
Iron Eagle's expression was very ugly. Clearly, his conversation with Ye Yuan just now, Leng Xu heard all of it.
"Y-Young Master Xu, you're mistaken …"
Leng Xu flicked his sleeves grandly and said with a cold snort, "Enough! At this point, are you still going to explain yourself? Could it be that in your eyes, I'm an utter moron? Go back and tell your master, Ye Yuan is my friend. If he dares to touch a hair of his, I'll never rest until he's dead!"
Iron Eagle let out a sigh and was about to turn around and leave.
But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Don't need to bring these words back anymore, you can stay behind!"
Iron Eagle was taken aback when he heard that and could not help laughing as he said, "Just the likes of you want to keep me behind too?"
Leng Xu also said, "Ye Yuan, very sorry, I don't have the strength to make him stay! But you rest assured. This matter, I'll definitely claim it back for you!'
Iron Eagle chuckled and said, "Young Master Xu's words are said a little too conceitedly, right?"
Since they already lost all decorum, Iron Eagle was no longer apprehensive anymore too.
Either way, Leng Xu and Leng Hao were already like fire and water, this was something that everyone knew.
It was just that in the past, everyone competed in the dark. But now, it became an assassination.
Leng Xu's expression could not help changing when he heard that and actually did not say anything to refute.
Clearly, Leng Xu's situation in the Leng Family was not too good.
"Ye Yuan, s-sorry, I'm useless!" Leng Xu said in shame.
Iron Eagle chuckled and said, "Kid, consider yourself lucky today. But next time, you won't be so lucky."
Ye Yuan said coolly, "No need for next time, I'll give you this chance right now."
"Ye Yuan …"
Leng Xu was just about to persuade him further, but then he heard Ye Yuan saying, "Brother Leng, you wait a moment. We'll go and drink a hundred bowls again in a while!"
Iron Eagle could not help laughing loudly when he heard that and said, "Ignorant fool, since you're taking the road to ruin yourself, then I'll send you off."
Finished talking, Iron Eagle's aura released again, world power crushed over towards Ye Yuan.
On Ye Yuan's body, blue fine lines spread out. A strange force isolated Iron Eagle's world power.
"Wrath of the Thundergod!"
Iron Eagle's Thundergod Hammer was raised high up. In the entire world domain, it was all berserk lightning and thunder, the momentum extremely shocking.
This lightning domain was akin to the furious roar of heaven and earth, making people's faces change.
Ye Yuan stood inside but was like it had nothing to do with him.
He looked at Iron Eagle. He raised up his Frostcounter Sword slowly and said coolly, "Strength is decent. You indeed didn't disappoint me! I recently comprehended a style of sword art. It's just nice to test the sword on you."
Iron Eagle laughed wildly to no end when he heard that and said, "Arrogant and ignorant young man, using me to test the sword is at the cost of your life! Go to hell!"
Iron Eagle waved the Thundergod Hammer, landing it towards Ye Yuan's head.
For a moment, the lightning in the entire space gathered over towards Ye Yuan.
Seeing this scene, Leng Xu's expression suddenly changed and he cried out in shock, "Careful!"
He was just about to make a move to help Ye Yuan, but heard Ye Yuan's voice drift over: "Calm down, I'm fine."
Right at this time, Ye Yuan moved as well!
"A Sword Crossing the Void!"
Leng Xu saw a blur before his eyes, Ye Yuan's figure already vanished.
When he appeared again, he was already behind Iron Eagle.
Leng Xu's expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed, "This … spatial shift! Laws fusion!"
How could Leng Xu not perceive that this sword of Ye Yuan's fused spatial law and Sword Dao law? The commotion was not noticeable, but the power was extremely shocking.
That boundless lightning dissipated into nothing very quickly.
"This … How is this possible?"
Iron Eagle's eyes were full of incredulity.
Then his body started collapsing.
Finally, it turned into nothingness.
Before dying, he seemed to have seen infinite fear.
This sword of Ye Yuan's virtually annihilated the void, smashing his body into pieces.
After three years of enlightenment, Ye Yuan did not only comprehend the fourth firmament spatial law, but he also further fused the laws, creating 'A Sword Crossing the Void.'
This sword art could be said to have gathered the grand achievements of Ye Yuan's Martial Dao, unleashing the power of laws to the extreme.
Its power was unimaginable.
The moment this move was released, not only was it swift to the extreme, it could even instantly cut the void into countless pieces!
Leng Xu looked at that figure in the distance, shocked until he could not close his mouth.
Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity was practically an insurmountable high mountain to Third Firmament Celestial Deities.
But Ye Yuan just broke through to Second Firmament Celestial Deity and cou
ld actually directly kill a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity.
This kind of strength was simply dreadful to the ears.
Especially that sword just now, it really took his breath away.
Although Leng Xu's strength was stronger than Iron Eagle's, this move, he touched his own heart and felt that he could not receive it!
Ye Yuan put away the sword and stood there. Coming before Leng Xu, he said with a smile, "Brother Leng, come. Let's drink."
Leng Xu was taken back and immediately laughed loudly and said, "Haha, okay! Today, I definitely won't lose to you!"
Ye Yuan also laughed and said, "Just your bit of alcohol tolerance, it's really not enough to fill the crevices between my teeth!"
The two laughed loudly and walked in the direction of the tavern.
Chapter 1846 - Contesting for Young Patriarch
"Come, I'll toast you a glass. Thank you for your life-saving grace!" Leng Xu raised his head up and downed it in one go.
Putting down the wine bowl, Leng Xu said with vicissitudes of emotion, "Drank until I was senseless that day. If not for you, I'd probably have croaked already. These few months, I was still muddling along without any aim, thinking of coming to find you to compete in drinking every day. But sadly, you never came again. If I didn't happen to pass by today, I wouldn't even know that I actually already went to the gates of hell and back!"
After Leng Xu woke up that day, he did not remember what happened in the alley at all.
But competing in drinking with Ye Yuan that day, it was still fresh in his memory.
For so long, it was still his first time encountering a guy who could bring him down.
Hence, he kept thinking about it and was going to find Ye Yuan again to compete in drinking.
Today, Leng Xu just happened to pass by, that was how he heard Iron Eagle's words.
It was also precisely because of this that Leng Xu was even more moved in his heart.
Showing kindness without expecting repayment, Ye Yuan this friend, he was bent on making it!
If it were others, saving the Leng Family's young patriarch, they would definitely think of ways to suck up to him. At the very least, they had to fish some benefits from the Leng Family too, but Ye Yuan did not.
From this, one could see Ye Yuan's noble moral character.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That day I sent you back to the Leng Manor, Leng Hao wanted to take me down indiscriminately. I wasn't willing to intervene in your Leng Manor's disputes and also just happened to reach the point of breakthrough. So I simply chose to enter closed-seclusion. It's just that I didn't expect that Leng Hao still wasn't willing to let me off."
Leng Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Leng Hao definitely thought that you were a helper that I invited. That's why he would deal a fatal blow to you. In fact, it was all me who implicated you."
Ye Yuan raised his glass and downed a bowl, saying with a smile, "I don't like trouble, but I am not afraid of trouble too. However, what on earth is going on with your Leng Family?"
Leng Xu immediately downed a bowl himself when he heard that and said with a sigh, "Sigh, brothers fighting among ourselves, it already caused a huge scandal in the whole city. Truly disgraceful! Actually, I'm not inclined toward the position of the young patriarch at all. But to no avail, this big brother of mine is very persistent!"
It turned out that that day Leng Xu competing in drinking with Ye Yuan, he had a big quarrel with Leng Hao and was in a bad mood. That was why he came to the tavern to get drunk.
Leng Xu and Leng Hao, the two brothers were very close since young. Since young, Leng Hao also took extra care of Leng Xu.
These two people's talents were both very strong, both leaders of the Leng Family's young generation.
Except, there was one thing, Leng Hao was an adopted child. His status in the Leng Family was far from Leng Xu's.
Leng Xu was the son of the family head, furthermore, his talent was outstanding. His status in the Leng Family was extremely high.
Brothers being kind and loving to each other was originally something that everyone envied.
But sadly, a few years ago, the Leng Family's family head, Leng Hongtian, was suddenly killed. The elders elected Leng Hongtian's young brother, Leng Hongxiu, as the family head.
Leng Hongxiu had no sons, just a daughter.
This way, Leng Xu's identity became awkward.
Leng Xu's disposition was indifferent, his character unrestrained and carefree. He did not care about the identity of young patriarch at all.
But Leng Hao this person gradually changed.
Leng Hao became very calculating, roping in elders in the family clan, marginalizing Leng Xu.
But on the surface, the two people did not lose all decorum and were still a pair of close brothers.
Except, even though Leng Xu's character was free and easy, he was not stupid.
Three months ago, Leng Hao found an excuse and exiled a very close uncle of Leng Xu out of the main family.
Leng Xu finally could not hold back. He got into a big fight with Leng Hao.
He also did not expect that Leng Hao would actually send people to assassinate him.
Although the Black Smoke Twin Fiends' strengths were not strong, they were very clear about the ways of the Jianghu.
On that day, seeing Ye Yuan and Leng Xu compete in drinking, they knew that their chance had come.
Except, they did not think that Ye Yuan's strength was actually so strong.
"Sigh, actually, I really don't care about this position of young patriarch! I told Leng Hao before, I'd rather not be this young patriarch then be willing to have brothers turn against each other, but he doesn't believe it at all! He doesn't believe it at all! Hahaha …"
Leng Xu raised his head and drank a large bowl of wine, crystalline tears already welled up in his eyes.
Ye Yuan also sighed unceasingly after he heard it.
Once a person was reduced to a slave to authority, their entire person would undergo earth-shaking changes.
He could feel that Leng Xu really did not care about the position of young patriarch.
But Leng Hao did not believe it at all!
He felt that Leng Xu was deliberately making him lower his guard.
Ye Yuan raised his glass and said, "Good times today, stupor tomorrow! Forget all these unpleasant things! Come, cheers!"
Leng Xu laughed loudly and said, "Haha, cheers! Today, I won't lose to you easily!"
Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Competing in drinking with me, you're not qualified enough yet!"
While talking and laughing, the two drank another hundred over glasses.
Finally, Leng Xu was overwhelmed by the alcohol and collapsed once more.
...
Leng Family, the black-clothed man came to Leng Hao's courtyard hastily.
"Young Master, things are bad! Iron Eagle, he's … dead!"
Leng Hao's face suddenly changed and he exclaimed, "This … How is this possible?"
The black-clothed man was still in shock until now as he said in a solemn voice, "It's absolutely true! After Ye Yuan came out of seclusion, he directly killed Han Xiao at the Essence Gathering Pagoda. Then he was about to go to Guiling Tavern when someone saw Ye Yuan kill Iron Eagle with one sword move! Furthermore … Leng Xu was also around!"
"One sword move? Killing Iron Eagle, he only used one sword move?" Leng Hao said with a look of disbelief.
A First Firmament Celestial Deity killed a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity with one sword move, how was this possible?
The black-clothed man smiled bitterly and said, "Ye Yuan already broke through to become a Second Firmament Celestial Deity. Originally, this subordinate didn't believe it either, but … this is the fact. Furthermore …"
Leng Hao's face turned dark and he said, "Spit out what you have to say, beat around the bush for what?"
The black-clothed man's expression turned somber as he said, "Leng Xu and Ye Yuan drank too much at Guiling Tavern
again. Now, Ye Yuan sent Leng Xu back again!"
Leng Hao's expression was incomparably ugly, not expecting that it would actually be this result.
A Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse was already the limit that he could mobilize.
Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses had very high statuses in the family, they were not what he could mobilize currently.
Of course, if he could become the young patriarch, it would be another matter.
Leng Hao paced back and forth, seemingly digesting this news.
Suddenly, his footsteps paused and he said, "Just now, you said that he killed Han Xiao?"
The black-clothed man nodded his head and said, "When Ye Yuan just came out, Han Xiao's sneak attack failed, and he was killed by Ye Yuan with one sword move!"
One sword move!
One sword move again!
Leng Hao's expression was not too good, this Ye Yuan was too troublesome.
Leng Hao said in a solemn voice, "Don't need to care about this Ye Yuan anymore! Han Dongjun that old thing treasures this son of his the most. He definitely won't be willing to drop the matter! Rather, it's Leng Xu. Looks like our plan have to start getting into gear! The position of young patriarch can't be delayed anymore! Is there any news from the Qianling Manor that side?"
The black-clothed man said, "Eldest Miss already left seclusion. It's said that she already broke through to the middle-stage Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm!"
Leng Hao sighed with admiration as he said, "Qiuling is really a genius. Her talent really makes people blush with shame! It's just a shame that she's a girl! Alright, this matter, you don't need to care anymore. I'll go and find the family head straight away. The struggle for young patriarch should also have a result already!"

"Foster Father, this Dazzling Crane Plumage Garment was purchased by Hao-er from the hands of a True God powerhouse at a great price. This celestial deity mystic treasure on Young Sister Qiuling would be most exquisite."
