But Empyrean Huntwind ignored him. Instead, he turned around and gave a respectful bow toward Ye Yuan and said, "Huntwind was tardy in coming to the rescue. I hope that Lord Second Sage pardons my offense."
Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, "No worries. The time was just right."
Empyrean Huntwind suddenly switched to a pleased expression as he asked excitedly, "Lord Second Sage killed Feng Tianyang?"
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said coolly, "Feng Tianyang coveted Lu-er's Profound Yin Divine Physique and was killed by me with one sword move."
"Hahaha, well killed! This Empyrean wanted to kill that punk long ago, but Vast Wind this old thing is too cunning, not giving me any chance. I didn't expect that he actually died in Lord Second Sage's hands!" Empyrean Huntwind said with a big laugh.
Although he was laughing, he was actually extremely shocked in his heart.
What kind of character was Feng Tianyang?
Even he, one of the demon race's five great Empyreans, was extremely apprehensive of him.
Once Feng Tianyang grew up, it would absolutely be a catastrophic blow to their demon race.
Hence, for so many years, Empyrean Huntwind had once engineered numerous murder schemes targeting Feng Tianyang.
But none ever succeeded even once.
For this, the demon race even lost numerous geniuses.
Who could have thought that Feng Tianyang actually died just like that?
He died in the hands of a middle-stage True God Realm!
When Vast Wind and the rest of the Empyreans saw Huntwind's attitude, their eyeballs nearly popped out.
This stubborn and unruly demon race major power was actually so respectful toward a human race's True God Realm?
In this land of extreme north, Vast Wind and the rest had fought with the demon race's five great Empyreans countless times before. When had they seen him be so respectful toward someone before?
Also, Empyrean Huntwind actually called Ye Yuan 'Second Sage'.
Who could shoulder this form of address?
Just who was this kid in front of him?
Empyrean Vast Wind did not know that before Ye Yuan came to the extreme north, the demon race's Sacred Ancestor High Priest announced to the entire demon race that he was conferring to Ye Yuan the title 'Second Sage.'
In alchemy, this was an existence second only to him!
This title stirred up monumental waves in the demon race.
The Sacred Ancestor High Priest's status in the demon race was extremely revered. The 'Second Sage' that he personally conferred, how venerated was that status?
Why would Ye Yuan not have any reliance when coming to this Jiu Luo Ji?
This title of 'Second Sage' was the path of retreat that he saved for himself.
Ye Yuan knew that the Northernmost Steppe was a vast territory. Even if he saved Lu-er, he might not be able to escape too.
And this Northernmost Steppe's demon race was his greatest reliance.
Hence, that was why Ye Yuan used up the Heaven Shocking Lightning without any scruples.
Seeing Empyrean Huntwind's gloating appearance, Empyrean Vast Wind finally could not endure it anymore.
"Humph! Huntwind, this Empyrean doesn't care who he is! If you dare to stop this Empyrean today, this Empyrean will make you fall here!"
Empyrean Vast Wind's aura suddenly released and actually directly reached Seventh Firmament Empyrean!
Huntwind had a look of amus.e.m.e.nt as he said, "Haha, did you think that only you broke through?"
The moment Empyrean Huntwind's aura was released, berserk demon divine essence was emitted, and he was actually not the least bit weaker than Empyrean Vast Wind!
Empyrean Vast Wind's expression changed. He thought that he would be able to suppress the five great Empyreans after he broke through. Who knew that Empyrean Huntwind was the same as him, also breaking through to the late-stage Empyrean Realm.
Except, his notion of killing Ye Yuan would not change at all simply because of Empyrean Huntwind's breakthrough.
"Tian Jue, Mie Yu, Zhen Huang, this Empyrean will deal with this old bear. You all attack together, go kill that boy!" Empyrean Vast Wind ordered.
Empyrean Huntwind laughed loudly and flicked his sleeves grandly and said, "Competing with numbers? Open your dog eyes and take a look!"
The moment these words came out, each and every one of the human race's major powers' faces changed drastically.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the void, one figure after another stepped out of the air. It was all Empyrean powerhouses!
Roughly calculating a bit, there were probably already several hundred Empyrean powerhouses.
The faces of Vast Wind and the rest turned pale with a whoosh.
"This … What the hell is going on here? The demon race's five great Empyreans have always been divided, why would they join hands and attack this time?"
"This kind of line-up, probably the entire extreme north's demon race Empyreans are all here, right?"
"How is this possible? The extreme north's demon race goes on conquests year in and year out without ceasing, that's how our human race can keep a foothold here, but today …"
… …
When the human race's several dozen Empyreans saw such a terrifying line-up, each and every one of their faces revealed looks of despair.
In the Northernmost Steppe, the demon race's strength was much stronger than the human race.
It was just that among the demon race's powerhouses, neither yielded to the others. That was how the human race could survive between the crevices.
But today, these different species of demons actually all joined hands.
This kind of situation had never happened before.
If prior to this, their understanding of 'Second Sage' still remained on that it was a term.
However, now, they finally had a clear understanding of how powerful this noun was.
What kind of person could make the entire extreme north's demon race be bound by a common hatred for the enemy?
Even if Huntwind broke through to the late-stage Empyrean Realm, he also could not do this!
In fact, those few old monsters of the demon race likewise could not do it too!
But Ye Yuan did it.
Empyrean Vast Wind finally understood what kind of powerful opponent he was facing.
"Hahaha! Vast Wind, weren't you very arrogant just now? Continue to be c.o.c.ky now! You want to kill Second Sage, then today, our extreme north's demon race will annihilate your human race!" Huntwind laughed wildly and said.
Several hundred Empyreans ganging up on several dozen Empyreans, this kind of strength comparison was not on the same level at all.
Empyrean Vast Wind's face was ashen. He never dreamed that he would end up in such a hopeless situation today.
When he heard that Ye Yuan used up the Heaven Shocking Lightning, he not only had fear toward Ye Yuan in his heart.
But who could have thought that a measly little True God Realm actually moved the entire extreme north's demon race Empyreans?
"Vast Wind, this Empyrean said before, you can't kill Master!" A figure slowly stepped out. It was precisely Empyrean Loneswan who escaped with the spatial node technique.
Empyrean Vast Wind's expression flickered incessantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You all really want to fight a life-and-death struggle for a human?"
One of the demon race's five great Empyreans, Empyrean Divine Scorpion, said with a sinister smile, "Heh heh, Vast Wind, this Empyrean wanted to kill you long ago! This time, you can forget about escaping!"
The five great Empyreans each stood separately, surrounding Empyrean Vast Wind.
As long as he made any unusual movements, what awaited him would be a lightning blow.
Finally, Empyrean Divine Scorpion clearly could not hold back anymore, wanting to take action.
"Stop! Without my orders, no one is allowed to make a move!"
Ye Yuan stood in the air, Empyrean Divine Scorpion stopped rather unwillingly.
He looked at Empyrean Vast Wind and said coolly, "Vast Wind, I wonder if this Ye's warning is effective or not?"
Chapter 2097 - What Are You Happy About?
Vast Wind, Tian Jue, and the rest had blank expressions. Was this Empyrean Divine Scorpion in front of them really that Divine Scorpion that they knew?
This Empyrean Divine Scorpion was an existence that did not give in to anyone.
But now, he was submissive and obedient toward Ye Yuan. They simply could not believe their eyes.
"Ye Yuan, this Empyrean is considered defeated today! I only beg that you take into account that we're of the same human race and let us leave!" Empyrean Vast Wind gritted his teeth and said.
Although he gave in, the resentful look in Empyrean Vast Wind's gaze flashed past.
The other human Empyreans were also all sighing endlessly. The haughty and overbearing Empyrean Vast Wind actually lowered his head toward a True God Realm powerhouse.
They were all clear what kind of proud existence Empyrean Vast Wind was.
Such a person's heart was loftier than the sky, how could he admit defeat?
Ye Yuan looked at Vast Wind and said with a faint smile, "Of course. This Ye isn't a murderous person. The rest can all leave, but only you and Empyrean Windlike will probably have to stay here forever."
Empyrean Vast Wind's face changed drastically when he heard that and looked at Ye Yuan with an alarmed and enraged face as he roared, "You're … despicable!"
Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, "Despicable? Huhu, I warned you previously. It's considered to have given you a chance, but it was you who didn't cherish it. Since my identity is already leaked, do you think that I'd wait for you to come and take revenge?"
Ye Yuan and Lu-er's identities were not a secret anymore. As long as Empyrean Vast wind inquired slightly, he would be able to know that he came from Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
Being remembered by a Seventh Firmament Empyrean mighty expert day and night, even if Ye Yuan had formidable abilities, it was also hard to take comprehensive precautions.
Ye Yuan was not a person who murdered the innocent. The grudge between him and Vast Wind was just a personal grudge, so he did not wish to implicate too many outsiders.
After all, these were all the human race's powerhouses. Once they all died here, the entire extreme north would probably be plunged into misery and suffering.
This kind of thing, Ye Yuan could not do it.
He surveyed the surroundings and said coldly, "Today's matter is just the personal grudge between me and Vast Wind! Those who don't want to die, hurry up and get lost for me!"
The group of Empyreans exchanged glances, Vast Wind gritted his teeth and said in a solemn voice, "Don't get fooled by this brat's sowing discord! He has clearly thrown his lots in with the demon race and wants to divide and destroy our extreme north's human race!"
"Haha, Vast Wind, you saying these words is also insulting our intelligence too much! You want to drag us down the water together, no chance at all! This Empyrean was forced against my will to come here in the first place. Feng Tianyang dying is a good thing to us. Now, there's someone taking care of you, we're all too happy!" Empyrean Mie Yu said with a loud laugh.
"Vast Wind, you've played the tyrant in the extreme north for so many years! You finally came to an end! I, Zhen Huang, won't be accompanying anymore." Finished talking, Empyrean Zhen Huang directly shuttled into the void and disappeared.
With these two people taking the lead, the other Empyreans also left one after another.
Empyrean Tian Jue and the rest were unconvinced by Vast Wind to begin with. If not for him breaking through to be Seventh Firmament Empyrean and forcing these Empyreans to come here, they absolutely would not get involved in this matter.
Now, there was someone taking care of Vast wind, so they were all too eager.
From this, one could also tell that Vast Wind ruling the extreme north's human race, what he relied on was just martial strength. There were not many people who sincerely followed him.
Looking at one Empyrean after another leaving, Empyrean Vast Wind was close to despairing.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Looks like your popularity isn't too good. There's not even one that stayed behind. Looks like you normally don't enjoy popular support in the extreme north!"
Empyrean Vast Wind looked at Ye Yuan, gnashed his teeth in hatred, and roared furiously, "Damn little brute! Today, even if I die, this Empyrean will also slaughter you!"
Everyone did not predict that Empyrean Vast Wind would suddenly erupt.
How outrageous was the commotion once an Empyrean was enraged? Even Empyrean Huntwind did not react.
But he was a powerhouse on the same level as Empyrean Vast Wind after all. Even if he was half a beat slower, he also chased after in time.
It was only to see him suddenly slam a fist out, the imposing momentum swift and fierce to the extreme.
However, Empyrean Vast Wind did not avoid this punch. He torpedoed toward Ye Yuan at full strength.
All of a sudden, an energy undulation that blotted out the skies and covered the earth crushed over towards Ye Yuan frenziedly.
Bang!
It was only to hear a loud boom transmit over, Empyrean Vast Wind's figure flew out like a kite with a broken string.
However, his palm already fired out too.
Although it was just a palm that was struck hastily, how powerful was the strength of a Seventh Firmament Empyrean?
Even if it was a casual palm, butchering True God Realm martial artists were also as easy as blowing off dust.
Seeing Empyrean Vast wind forcefully take a fist of his, Empyrean Huntwind felt his scalp tingle.
If Sacred Ancestor High Priest died at his place here, Sacred Ancestor High Priest would probably fly into a thunderous rage, right?
"Careful, Second Sage!"
Empyrean Huntwind only had time to cry out in surprise, the palm already arriving!
Bang!
The place where Ye Yuan stood, space shattered, spiritual energy flying everywhere. An intense light shone until people could not open their eyes.
When the light dissipated, that place already did not have Ye Yuan's figure long ago.
All of the demon race's powerhouses felt their scalps tingle. Second Sage was killed by someone under their heavy encirclement?
This … This was a sin!
Once Sacred Ancestor High Priest raged, the Northernmost Steppe would not have the blade of grass grow!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! This Empyrean will kill you!"
Empyrean Huntwind roared at Empyrean Vast Wind, suddenly slamming a fist over.
Bang!
Forcefully receiving Huntwind's punch, the current Empyrean Vast Wind was already seriously injured. How could he still be Huntwind's match?
This punch, he forcefully withstood it again.
However, his face did not have any decadence, but instead burst out laughing as he said, "Haha … cough cough … hahaha, what bullshit Second Sage?! Didn't he still die at this Empyrean's hands? Tianyang, Father has … cough cough … avenged you!"
Empyrean Vast Wind started laughing free from inhibitions as he coughed blood.
Empyrean Huntwind bristled with anger, but to the Vast Wind who already had the will to die, his fury had no use at all.
A moment of carelessness let Second Sage die! He could not absolve himself from the blame!
"What are you happy about?" Right at this time, a faint voice sounded out in everyone's ears, making Empyrean Vast Wind's laughter abruptly stopped.
A young and handsome voice slowly stepped out, who could it be if not Ye Yuan?
Empyrean Huntwind's eyes went wide, and he said in disbelief, "Lord Second Sage, you … you didn't die?"
The other demon race Empyreans also had astonished faces. Although that p
alm earlier was not strong, it was enough to one-shot an initial-stage Empyrean Realm powerhouse.
But Ye Yuan was completely unscathed!
"This … How is this possible? That palm of mine clearly already hit you!" Empyrean Vast Wind had a blank face as he said in shock.
Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "You don't seem to know this, but Loneswan their spatial node technique, it was personally set up by me. With my spatial law attainments, even if there isn't Huntwind they all around, it also won't be easy for you to want to kill me, let alone that you can only ambush me while taking advantage of their inattentiveness? This degree of attack is indeed lethal to other True God Realms, but I laid down several dozen spatial nodes all around here. As long as my thoughts stir, I'll be able to teleport away. How can it be that easy for you to want to kill me?"
"This … This …" Empyrean Vast Wind looked at Ye Yuan, his complexion ashen.
The palm that he risked his old life to exchange for actually did not even harm Ye Yuan's hair!
Chapter 2098 - High Priest Redplume's invitation
It was simply very hard for people who did not truly learn the rudiments of spatial law to imagine how profound this law was.
The higher the realm, the more accomplished with high proficiency the application of spatial law. It would instead form more of an illusion. That would be so for someone who was actually already very skilled in the aspect of spatial law.
However, being able to be called a supreme law, how could spatial law be that easy?
Martial artists' understanding of law was just one aspect, the ingenuity in varying tactics depends on mother wit.
With Ye Yuan's attainments in the aspect of spatial law, even if he was not an Empyrean's match, if an Empyrean wanted to kill him, it was not as simple as dying to one palm.
Very clearly, Empyrean Vast Wind was misled just like that.
In reality, the Empyreans present were all deceived by Ye Yuan.
"Alright, you've experienced it now. You can give up hope now, right? Huntwind, send him on his way!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
"Eh, alright! Haha, it's still Lord Second Sage who is impressive. Otherwise, this old bear, I, would have to expend considerable effort to kill him!" Empyrean Huntwind rubbed his fists and wiped his palms, appearing extremely excited.
